In real life a child rapist is a president. Men do not get ripped apart for sexual crimes.
This is set in South Korea. Sexual crimes are taken very seriously, especially in politics. This kind of public controversy would lose you support from half the population, BTS would have no chance at elections.
The entire drama is improbable. No way Sang Ah could stage a comeback after being implicated in a murder. I think…
It just feel like they pick and choose what they consider important without being consistent. They show the young male actor "asking" to be raped to further his career and consenting to this situation. He's shown faking his tears in front of media after the whole thing is revealed, as if this didn't affect him at all. On the other hand the women actresses are claimed to be fragile, constantly ruminating over their traumatizing experiences, as if they're the only gender suffering from this kind of corruption.
I'm sorry but did everyone gloss over the ML committing a sex crime right from the very first episode?
I'm actually shocked this was downplayed so much considering the subject matter of this drama... ML filmed two adults having sex and broadcasted it for the world to see only for personal gain!! No news channel would actually agree to this, and if it ever did happen you can be sure that the victim's face would be blurred, they wouldn't expose that poor actor to the public. And letting the world know you're the one behind this?? In real life BTS would've been torn to shreds and excluded from political life, not given an opportunity to run for elections lmao
Edit: I just watched ep 8 and they did it again?? This is infuriating why do they treat revenge porn so lightly ffs!! I know I shouldn't get worked up about a drama but if they are going to write a story about what goes on behind the scenes in this industry, then maybe keep it behind the scenes? That alone makes this story completely stupid and not worth a watch imo
Is the wlw relationship a big part of this show? I'm interested in watching queer representation from Korea but if it's just a male gaze thing I won't bother
New hasn't been able to make a good drama from start to finish since Make It Right... someone give all new projects to Nuchy I feel like she's the only GMMTV director who understands angst and dares to take risks with storytelling...
Considering eveeything that happened during and before filming its a miracle it turned out as good as it did JoongDunks…
damn that's surprising considering this isn't the director's first bl... but this whole situation does explain why this feels like a last minute project
it's so disappointing and kind of insulting for the actors to have them go from the Heart Killers to this nonsense... just watching the OST mv for this show, you can have a glimpse of the tension, the thrills, the romance we couldve gotten... but they just completely ruined it with the worse plot, dialogue and directing one could imagine
