Waiting to see what kind of story the gay bestie gets. I hope he's not just a prop for the straight romance.
There is a storyline for him, although I don't know how significant it will be. In the relationship chart, there is a character named Chong Tae Hyun connected to Dohan, and it says, 'long time no see.' P.S. We were introduced to this character in episode 2, the boy in the painting room around 18:35.
the family tree/connections are confusing me sm. someone please explain?? dohan & jihan are full-blood siblings.…
So, they all share the same mother but have different fathers. The mother got together with another man and had Jihan and Dohan with him. The mother is the ex-daughter-in-law of the chairman. Jihan got close to Hotae for an ulterior motive (as seen in episode 1), so they are not related, but more of a friend.
Does this drama have relevant LGBTQ characters/themes?
It does have one LGBTQ character (Yoo Sun Ho's character), but it does not play a major role in the storyline; it was mentioned briefly in the first couple of episodes and in the last episode, which is still a great deal considering it was broadcasted on Korean TV channel.
Can someone explain whats the "INDIAN" problem going on the comments? I came to see if it was good but all i see…
In Ep. 2, the drama showed how the office hierarchy works, but they portrayed it metaphorically as the caste system in a super stereotypical way, like the FL randomly showing up in a saree. So, some Indians expressed their discomfort. Now, if you check the comments here, everyone's just jumping on the hate-India bandwagon. That's the whole 'India' situation. As for the drama, so far it is ok.
it's okay Indians ko apni bezzati feel nhi hoti kabhi kyoki izzat hi nhi h koi🤣
There is nothing wrong with wearing a saree, but in that particular scene, it is inappropriate. The caste system can also be found in Korean history. So, the makers could have dressed the FL in traditional Korean clothing to make it seem like she's in higher position. However, they chose to portray it in the most stereotypical way.
3 things in life are guaranteed1) Death2) Taxes3) Indians playing victim and whining when something negative about…
I bet you also say the same things to Arabs when they talk about how they are stereotyped in Korean media, to Africans when they talk about how they are stereotyped in Korean media, or to any other race when they talk about how they are stereotyped in Korean media. Or is this VIP service exclusively for Indians?
They made fun of the caste system (kind of), something as an Indian myself I would do too, honestly. If they'd mention India with it, then I can see why you'd get offended, but they never mention India in the first place. They just use the caste system as a metaphor to show the office hierarchy, which I don't find problematic. But they definitely exaggerated it. Not offended at all but it was very uncomfortable to watch.
The concern about including real names in fictional stories arises from the possibility that the audience might…
No, it didn't come off wrongly, so there's no need to apologize. I just thought I should provide some more backstory on the whole situation. I'm also not a fan of them changing the character names. For those who aren't familiar with them, the names mean nothing. But for a long-time fan like me, it kinda takes away that connection factor. However, I can also understand where they're coming from. So, it's a bit of a dilemma for me.
No offense. I just think re-filming a drama just because it might cause misunderstandings regarding the real names…
The concern about including real names in fictional stories arises from the possibility that the audience might misunderstand or misinterpret the narrative. The creators are being careful to ensure everyone sees the story for what it is – just a fun, made-up story. They want everyone to enjoy it without getting the wrong idea or thinking it's something more serious.
For example, just a few months ago, someone asked in this comment section whether this is their real story or not. So, for fans or those with little knowledge about BTS, it's evident that this is not their real story. However, considering that the drama will also be watched by general drama fans who may not know BTS or have any idea about the story material, they've decided to remove the real names and replace them with the webtoon character names to avoid any future misunderstandings.
It's worth noting that people nowadays love to take things out of context, and the creators are proactively addressing this by making these adjustments to maintain a clear and enjoyable viewing experience.
