I was nodding along with you until you randomly inserted homosexuality into the topic.Hitting 40 unmarried does…
lmao I find it funny how you can’t seem to find any way of arguing besides insulting people and calling them homophobic, psycho, Korean? (wtf you think it’s okay to use a nationality as a curse?! sure ain’t racist you are….) and other names….
It’s not even that you insisting so vehemently that this man is bisexual, but nope, let’s just jump the gun straight to gay.
Like why the fuck would we assume without any solid proof and public statement, that a man that just got married to a woman is not straight or even bisexual but just gay?? Meaning we must all automatically assume like you and spread nasty rumours like you about a newly married couple and question their relationship and insinuate that they will be unfaithful to each other.
Okay. Lovely. Fantastic.
I really do doubt you’re a genuine fan of this man. If you were, you’d respect his decision in His personal matters.
finally someone that gets it! This drama is so stupid and sucks so bad like...Took the words outta my mouth🤝🏾🤝🏾…
You know I could buy the premise that the government wants to use dumb kids as front line fodder to buy time or whatever….
But then they start the drama talking about how they made these limited edition uranium bullets or something because normal ones don’t work on the aliens (one of the big changes from the webtoon??). And also the first few episodes we see a bunch of useful and capable military get wiped out uselessly because they’re trying to protect dumb kids.
That does not add up. If the plan is use to ignorant kids as sacrificial lambs, then you don’t waste precious resources on them. Like good firearms or competent young active soldiers.
The training in school grounds with inappropriate school uniforms segment is probably for our benefit lol. So we can remember that they’re supposed to be highschoolers and not adults.
Mate you need to take a DEEP breath, take a step back and stop projecting your own problems on some celebrity’s…
Sigh…
You know the reason people are coming at you is because your text sounds really HYPER, triggered and overinvested on a simple “we got married” post.
And because you’re going off about toxic societies on a post that has little to nothing to do with anything.
Your coarse language isn’t helping your case either.
Dude’s an actor. As a public persona whose marital status just changed, he just shared the news with his loyal fans and general public. But those fans and public only know him at all because of his career. Quite a few celebrities and actors, do actually retire or take a hiatus after getting married because they want to focus on their personal life. At a more mature age, when they have already established a good career and made plenty of money already, they have less reason to work as hard or often as before.
Acting, a bit like sports, tends to be a career greatly affected by the age of the actor. Many once popular and attractive young actors are never seen continuing to pursue acting as a career when older.
From what I see, the mention of his career here is just an addendum, that he’s not planning to retire or take a hiatus for his personal life.

I really don’t understand why you’re so offended that some poor bride you haven’t seen has been called pretty lol.
The post here is citing a post of a post of a post lol. One which also involves foreign language translation. And written like a gossip magazine. So perhaps the original statement where maybe some guy harmlessly said “oh the brides really pretty!” or even “they made a charming pair of bride/groom” has come to this ‘exposé’ styled wording of “bride revealed to be a beauty!”.
But dumb gossip rag statement or not. It’s not actually doing anyone any harm. She’s a bride. Brides tend to look pretty and also want to feel pretty. If some random celeb gossip post wants to compliment her, it doesn’t kill us to give her that.
I was nodding along with you until you randomly inserted homosexuality into the topic.Hitting 40 unmarried does…
Well my comment about the “audacity” was to point out that you are being quite disrespectful by insinuating on a harmless “we got married” newspost that this newly married couple has gotten into a “fake, even deceitful & unfaithful” marriage because YOU believe so strongly in your assessment of sexuality of a foreign celebrity you have never met.
And that even if you were this man’s best friend and knew all his deepest darkest secrets, it is NONE of your right to “possibly expose” something that the person in question has chose not to reveal themselves.
The reasons don’t matter. Fear of discrimination or not. Toxic society or not. If you really believe someone happens to be “gay” but is pretending they are “straight”, it does not do them ANY good if you decide to “expose” it without their consent.
Plus, you don’t know this man personally. Which means no matter how good or successful you are or have been irl figuring out if someone is homosexual, it is an entirely different ballgame when it comes to making a judgement on a distant public persona, especially one exists in a vastly different culture from yours. Thus on the chance you may be wrong about your assessment, (because we’re human, we can be wrong) it may equally do harm to insinuate what you did about his marriage.
Regardless of what you may think or hoped he would be comfortable doing, he CHOSE to get married. The reasons are personal business and not up for debate for the public like us. A couple could have gotten married for greed of fame and wealth and all the wrong reasons for all it matters and it Still wouldn’t be any of our business.
No. By the order of historical events, this comes first. As it covers the end of Goryeo period and the start of…
I’m not well versed in Korean history so I can’t really tell you how much of the drama correlates with reality.
A lot of the drama is fictional, with a large mix of real and fictional characters. But it can still serve as a good start to get an idea of the time period and become a little familiar with the non-fictional characters introduced. And then research how the actual people really were and the real sequence of historical events.
"They also revealed that actor Kim Dong Wook married a beauty."Who writes this shit? Would someone report if "actor…
Mate you need to take a DEEP breath, take a step back and stop projecting your own problems on some celebrity’s wedding news.
“Show a better performance” simply means he promises to continue working as an actor and continue to get better because there’s no such thing as a perfect actor and like most jobs, it requires practice, learning, improving and maintaining the skills until the day you retire.
“married a beauty” - maybe the journalist saw the bride, thought she looked stunning and decided to pay a harmless compliment. Stop reading into it and overanalysing LOL.
I like Kim Dong Wok. He's on my favorite feature film actors honorable mention list.Also, I suspect he got married,…
I was nodding along with you until you randomly inserted homosexuality into the topic.
Hitting 40 unmarried does not mean people start to automatically assume a guy is gay lmao.
The career advantage of being unmarried is yes, feeding into some toxic fan mentality but also so that the actor/actresses are able to star in romcoms without the audience feeling uncomfortable thinking about their spouse watching them having a make-out session in their dramas. A large contributing factor to a romcoms popularity comes from the audience “shipping” the onscreen couple and loving their “chemistry”. Which is yes still messed up and toxic.
And hitting your 40s means the actors are now getting too old to star in cheesy teen romcoms and the audience no longer cares to continue seeing them in the genre or shipping older actors and are now actually willing to let go of their fantasies and see the actors happily settled and married.
Nothing to do with whether the actor is straight or not, or discriminatory views of homosexuality.
Also it’s hard with an actors lifestyle to even date peacefully to be able to get married at all. Busy schedules, scrutiny of public eye, possible jealousy arising from requirements of their job description…. plus all the other reasons SK is struggling with low birth rates.
As for your audacity to automatically assume this actor has got into a “cover up” marriage…….. I don’t care even if you believe you have insider information on the guy. If the man himself has not made any public statements about his sexuality, even if he DOES happen to be in a so-called “cover up” marriage to “hide being gay”, it does NOT give you the right to talk about it and spread baseless rumours especially on a post celebrating his wedding. That is simply rude and disrespectful of you.
Besides as you have said, you are clearly not Korean. Which means you are not intimately familiar with their culture or norms. And thus your “gaydar” can in fact be wrong because there may be many differences in behaviour of straight men from different cultures.
Not even taking into account that knowing the public persona of a celebrity can be quite different from knowing them personally making it hard to make any sort of judgements of their real personality or relations.
The Glory really started anew wave of revenge dramas sheeeesh
Since when were revenge plots not as common as the truck of doom in Kdramas lol. The Glory is just one of the shiny trucks amongst all the endless trucks
Tbh it's obvious only the final reincarnation matters, so I guess the other ones entertainment value will be from…
They’ll probably cut off a couple of the reincarnation episodes at a critical moment so you’re left wondering whether they made it or not if they want to keep the suspense
I’m sorry but there’s a very big difference between being autistic and a traumatised character that has been…
No not saying that about autistic people.
I just felt the actress at times acted like she was portraying someone that got stranded when she was 9, not 15 and was still that kid and hadn’t practically raised herself. Her acting style here just felt unnatural and forced to me.
is it worth watching if so do i have to watch Tree with Deep Root first?
No. By the order of historical events, this comes first. As it covers the end of Goryeo period and the start of Joseon era.
TwDR is about King Se Jong (creator of Hangul) who is a Joseon king. The son of Lee Bang Won/King Tae Jong (Yoo Ah In’s character).
Edit: I just read your first question- YES, the drama is worth a watch. One of the sageuk kdrama classics. As long as you keep in mind that it is a fictionalised account of a real King and historical events.
It’s not even that you insisting so vehemently that this man is bisexual, but nope, let’s just jump the gun straight to gay.

But he definitely got it (again? first time?!) at the end of the second last episode of the drama LOL.

This a pretty good list btw! I can’t agree with all, but many do look related
