Are you one of those people that can't separate real life from entertainment?
its not me but south Korean law that pick and choose crimes
Yoo Ah-in: A Victim of South Korea’s Flawed Legal Priorities Yoo Ah-in, a celebrated South Korean actor, has found himself at the center of a legal storm over drug use, facing intense scrutiny and career devastation. However, his case highlights a deep flaw in South Korea’s legal system—its disproportionate focus on drug-related offenses while showing leniency toward perpetrators of violent crimes like assault and sexual violence.
Unfair Targeting and Career Destruction Yoo Ah-in’s alleged drug use has resulted in severe legal action, public condemnation, and professional exile. His works have been removed from platforms, endorsements canceled, and his reputation permanently damaged. While drug use is illegal in South Korea, it is crucial to recognize that his actions did not harm others. Despite this, the authorities have treated his case with extreme severity, making an example out of him while allowing violent offenders to walk free or face significantly lighter consequences.
The Hypocrisy of South Korean Law In stark contrast, South Korea has repeatedly shown leniency to celebrities, businessmen, and influential figures accused of assault and sexual crimes. Cases involving sexual harassment, domestic violence, and even rape have often resulted in suspended sentences, minimal jail time, or, in some cases, complete evasion of legal punishment.
For instance, numerous K-pop idols, actors, and public figures have been involved in sexual assault or abuse scandals, only to return to the entertainment industry after a short hiatus. Similarly, individuals convicted of physical assault, including severe cases of domestic violence, have been given probation instead of real jail time. The legal system’s failure to prioritize victims of these crimes raises serious concerns about justice and fairness.
Yoo Ah-in as a Victim of a Broken System Yoo Ah-in’s case is not just about drugs—it is about a system that unfairly punishes non-violent offenders while turning a blind eye to real harm. He is not a violent criminal, yet he faces social and legal exile, while those who physically harm others continue their careers with minimal consequences.
His situation should spark a broader conversation about South Korea’s legal priorities. The country must rethink its approach and ensure that those who commit assault and sexual crimes face real justice, rather than disproportionately punishing those who have not directly harmed others.
Even I know that it is not a series based on the real life of the Joseon story, something that is equally normal…
i know they had sex, isn't that's why Korean will be first to extinct from this planet what i mean was those dramas were not that vulgar, but now to please western viewers they are adding sex in everything cause that is what sell most in west.
yes you are wrong she is actually reincarnated again it was a journey
that is stereotype against scientist, all of them are humans and some might be more focus on there research's but there are many who know some LOVE i can understand his behavior at start but i cant after they got engaged and what he said to her on phone cause i know we both have some feeling for each other ? just one late night dinner and he assume she has feelings for him ? she even claim he was serious about engagement ? and he ask her out on a phone that was really an dumb choice of director to think its okay to ask her out on a phone call and she just agreed to get engaged with a nerd on phone just because his name.
It's appalling that PD Ham Joon Ho was not only involved in such a disgraceful incident but was also allowed to…
Even if I were a judge in South Korea, our esteemed Korean prosecutor would not deign to issue a warrant, nor would they see fit to bring this case before the court. What, then, is a judge to do? So, all of this remains subject to the unforgiving gaze of public scrutiny.
Again Korean people bulling an artist because he is not perfect. It is terrible how people with envy can do. Do…
It's appalling that PD Ham Joon Ho was not only involved in such a disgraceful incident but was also allowed to return to work after just three years. Assaulting random people, resisting police, and hurling obscene insults at an officer should have led to serious consequences, not just a temporary break. The fact that the prosecution rejected the arrest warrant despite his prior criminal record raises serious questions—was there bias, or was he protected due to industry connections?
SBS also deserves criticism for enabling this behavior. South Korea has no shortage of talented professionals, yet major companies seem to cling to criminals like they are irreplaceable. Why defend a repeat offender instead of setting a standard for accountability? This sends a terrible message: as long as you're part of the industry, no matter how despicable your actions, you'll be shielded and given a second chance. It's time for networks to prioritize integrity over loyalty to disgraced employees.
Do you know all the circumstances? Were you there?You can't determine what's despicable based on such a small…
director Ham Joon Ho, under the influence of alcohol, poured soju on passerby and aggressively resisted the attempts of his companions to take away the soju bottle and stop him, all of which led to a fight. He was arrested in the act and caused further nuisance at the police station,
including yelling at the police officer and hurling sexually explicit insults at a female officer in her 20s
If this information isn’t enough to judge the situation, then how much is? And who decides how much information is necessary to determine whether this behavior is unacceptable?" "In what circumstances could this behavior not be considered disgraceful ?"

Male lead feelings for her look really really forced like he was on gun point whole drama to like this beautiful girl.
it seem like this was a mature drama for just FL and other character particularly MLs remain unrealistic
