The assumption is that you assume illegal activity. I haven’t read anything from a tax authority saying KSH did anything wrong. Therefore, your comment alluding to illegal activity and implying KSH committed a wrong-doing is a generalized assumption that mere speculation against celebrities is all true. We would never hold the average person to such assumptions. Why? Because that would be defamatory. Which is itself illegal. Do you get it now? Understand the logic? Or are you too slow for that too?

People need to stop speculating. The tax authorities have not questioned him, have not raised any issues, have not opened any investigation about him and his taxes, has not commented, have done nothing. It’s all random people speculating and then it’s written like fact or that he’s under investigation. Some random journalist wrote a speculating article and then some tax accountants decided to comment and give their two cents and now everyone is talking like he did something. The only authority who can say he did anything wrong about taxes is the tax authority. Holy sht, talk about people trying to crucify and witch hunt. It’s spiraling completely out of control. This is KSH’s reputation and livelihood. If I were him I would sue everyone for defamation.

Allegations, and apparently the same reporter who tried to attack KSH last time with those rumors. I think it’s well-known that the reporter hates KSH for some reason and purposely writes articles to defame him.

I read the Korean news and it’s not an investigation. It’s some random reporter who wrote an article saying KSH also has a separate single-member company. It’s not an actual investigation. I wish people would stop being so ignorant and just follow these baseless rumor-mills. Single-member companies are very common, and it’s to legally keep taxes and other liabilities separate from theater, acting, management, etc activities. It’s all legal and nothing is wrong with having them, and many people who run their own business have them. And of course it makes sense to create a SPE (single-purpose entity) in between contracts. This is to make sure that you DO legally account for taxes and meet your obligations and liabilities. I am an attorney and to hear people talk so ignorantly on these topics without facts or knowledge of the law is just mind-blowing. In fact, the Korean Tax Association came out and slammed the news outlets for characterizing legal tax savings structures as some type of illegal tax “evasion.” Every one has the right to save on taxes through legal means, this is a legal right of every citizen. What do you think tax exemptions you write off during tax season are?? Just because you utilized ways to maximize your tax benefits doesn’t mean you broke a law. I normally don’t go off like this about legal stuff, and I’m not even a CEW or KSH fan but it’s just infuriating watching people do “witch hunts” over rumors and false information.

This drama is so good! I couldn’t believe they ended it in 12 episodes! It kills me how that industry works. Some boring dramas languish on for 30 episodes while really good ones end in 12. It could have at least gone on to 18! At least! I hope they make a Second Season. It felt so rushed and so many unanswered questions.

He is such an underrated actor. Loved him in Oh No! Here comes trouble. Very versatile with great screen presence. Will be starting his Netflix drama soon (although it’s looks tragic so I’ve been putting it off), maybe I’ll watch Hello Ghost first. He makes good film/drama choices so I am sure it’ll be good. By the way, anyone else think he looks like He Yu? I sometimes get confused between the two of them.

So glad to see Seven’s new drama. She’s such a talented actress with a lot of versatility. I like her better in modern dramas but I’m down to see her in this fantasy piece.

I agree, the modern guy is not Lin Yan, maybe a reincarnation but not a transmigration like SSG. SSG was the only “real” one in the modern world. Reincarnation are not the same ppl even if they have memories of their past life. They already have a present life and who knows who this modern “Lin Yan” is.

Agree. His modern dramas just aren’t able to showcase his charisma very well. I love him in historical dramas.

No. It’s quite bittersweet.

True, he yearned for Dou Zhao for a while too, both before and after the wedding lol

I agree 100%. It’s like the writers decided to make an entirely sadistic choice about Lin Yan. And I agree, the entire first 20 episodes was about who their ancestor is and then they just resolved it with a footnote. And no one remembered anything so what was the point of the journey?? Not a good ending, both from an emotional angle and from a practical story telling perspective

Out of all Cdrama actors I think he looks the hottest with white/silver grey hair. In my opinion

Me too.

I don’t think they needed to be so sadistic with LY for the censors. That was by choice, a sadistic choice. Because nothing in the Chinese censorship require misery as a prerequisite to a time travel drama ending.

There is some merit to this theory. I did think it was weird how easily he was able to grasp modern concepts she told him so quickly. For example, the dishwasher. She noted how he was able to make one just being told once about it. He is smart but if you’re 1000 years removed from it you just wouldn’t even be able to get the concept. So I wondered about that. If your theory is correct and that was just in his subconscious then it would make sense. Whatever helps me ease the heartache I feel for Lin Yan.

LOL!! But thank you, I agree.

I know I should stop venting but I am so annoyed at this drama. I literally stopped watching Fated Hearts and started this thinking it was a light happy drama. And then this one turns out to be the one with the most tragic ending where the entire family is massacred in a fire and the ML is left longing for them his entire lifetime. WTH. I need to go back to Fated Hearts so I can feel happy again.

Well said! I couldn’t have said it better! I totally agree. A sadistic choice is the perfect way to describe what they did. I feel heartache coming on for LY again after reading your comment. Omg, what a poor soul. I feel like we should translate your comment into Chinese and send it to the writers.

Agree! So anticlimactic. The writers forgot the whole purpose of the story. We watched to find out who the real ancestor was for 30 episodes and the reveal was SO lame. What was the point/focus of the whole story then?
