japan-korea conflict is much bigger for koreans than a highschooler kissing an older guy.. they are very sensitive when it comes to japan.. those are subjects that trigger nationalism in people.. as an indian i know how much sensitive indians are when it comes to colonization and partition..
also tkem is a netflix original so they will take international fan's concerns into account as well..
DS character got backlash only for his intro scene in korea and nothing else.. also i heard the black guy who appeared in the show is quite well known in korea and not some random person they caste for the role.. i read that on soompi forum( just found out it yesterday and since then have been going through the comments in it).. dont know if its true.. BR definelty dont care about international backlash.. the show is solely for koreans as the humor in the show is filled with parodies that only koreans will understand..

at the end the FL of biog and br did want they did without being considerate of the ML.. even though she is a ghost she still knows how the world works and still had her human emotions intact..
so how come one get a free pass and the other dont?

why did the tkem team apologize? did it have any scenes that irked the korean audience? i didnt follow tkem

we dont know if they deleted any scenes or not.. knetz got angry after the airing of first 2 episodes and the makers got the warning from the censor board almost after a month of airing.. by this time they might have already shot a lot.. it seems like they planned something else and changed it last minute.. YJ was completely out of the picture after the breakup and suddenly popped out..
i ready even moonlight drawn by the cloud also received backlash from knetz for showing kyj change her clothes and kissing pbg but that never ended up getting this much complaints and warning.. so BR makers might not have taken the initial uproar that seriously..

in BIOG also she tried to kiss him without his permission multiply times but didnt get successful.. she literally stalked him for a kiss and started living in his house and followed him to his college.. she also didnt respect his privacy or personal space..
if we see a lot of these actions with a micrsocopic view then almost all scenes in dramas and movies we see will end up being problematic.. even the prince kissing sleeping beauty while she was unconscious will be problematic if we want to see it as problematic..

now that i think of, it looks like they either changed the story or toned down SB-DH scenes because of the complaints..
the first 6-7 episodes were different and a bit bolder... SB's dream of the pulp fiction parody ended with a kiss and SB-DH had more physical interactions in the initial episodes than after the breakup and DH-SB being unofficially together..
scenes from ep 6 and 7 were in the trailer of the show, so it was shot before the drama started airing..
now even SB's dreams are not as wild as before.. she dont even react anywhere near his lips and the makers even deleted that scene from the actual episode..

the boss guy was listed in the main cast and was even there to promote the show on running man but is more of a cameo than puppy.. seems like his character got cut down a lot.

the main problem with many was that the FL in BR kissed a guy while wearing school uniform.. even seatbyul is not underage at the time she kissed..
in bring it on ghost the FL was in school uniform inside a school while kissing and the actress was underage for real..
in goblin, although she wasnt in her uniform, she was still in highschool when she kissed him..

deleted scene from last week's preview.. at the start DH-Sb at least used to kiss in her dreams..

the director is actually good.. his last drama fiery priest was good but that drama didnt had any kind of romance in it.. it was kind of like a crime comedy.. i guess romance is not his forte.. in FP also he directed the emotional scenes quite well.. even the comedy characters and villains had depth and their emotional scenes make you feel for them..
but i guess for a drama to be good both writer and the director needs to be good.. i checked out the script writer's previous works and she/he dont have a single impressive one..

BR till ep 14 wasn't a bad drama .. it wasnt the best drama out there but certainly wasnt a bad drama.. what made ep 15 so bad was the out of character behavior of SB.. she was literally the backbone of the show and they ruined it.. she is shown to be a fighter but she literally gave up on a guy she was so hell-bent on making hers for something that illogical.. she left him after knowing he likes her is stupid..

DS is not shown to be lazy and flies buzzes not just around his head but also his feet as well and its shown when he has dirty thoughts.. its not indicated to him being physically dirty..

DH's mother forces him to have dinner with YJ to thank her for helping with the transfer of the store and taken her home after she got drunk.. DH takes her to dinner and thank her.. YJ says she always wanted to apologize for what her mother did and DH's says right back that she said it was a misunderstanding at that time.. she kind of indicated getting back together and he said he only wants to have professional relationship with her and nothing else..

if you scroll down the comments you can literally see people hating on it for nothing.. saying the age gap is creepy or SB is a sexual assaulter or a home wrecker or what not.. there are comments that said they stopped watching the drama on ep 1 and says dont watch it..
stating their personal opinion is criticism but saying others not to watch it is hating on the show..
i am pretty sure kdrama makers dont go through MDL or kissasian or dramacool and check the comments to know what international fans think of the drama.. BR is solely made for south asian and general public of korea dont have any problem with DS's appearance..

SB gave it back to YJ when YJ was the girlfriend of DH but didnt say a word when YJ indirectly indicated she is gonna take DH?
on the other hand, DH showed YJ her place in the most well-mannered way possible..when she said she always wanted to apologize to him for her mother's behaviour, DH called her out on her face.. i never thought i would actually like a YJ-DH scene..

what exactly was the purpose of showing the old friend of DH's mother? to make DH's mother feel worst than she already does?

DS and GB literally were the only saving grace of the episode.. them trying to kiss while swinging was hilarious...

they have been behaving like an unofficial couple for quite some time now..
i can totally predict the last episode now..
SB will leave and go to some village then DH,DS and GB will be searching for her( 30 mins already got wasted on that) then DH will find SB and then she will give illogical reasons for them to stay away from each other and in the last 10 mins they will get together will a peak on the lips.. i am not even expecting a good kiss..

SB leaving DH was so out of character.. the girl literally was obsessed and over-possessive over him and when finally she got him she just left him simply like that?
i get why DH's mother dont want him to end up like her but SB leaving just because of one spat b/w DH and his mother was not at all logical and that wasn't even that big of a fight.
DH and his family are middle class but not poor. they have a pretty decent house and DH now has a good job.. why should DH go back to a girl whose mother literally insulted his whole family?
DS and GB who were literally on each other's throut accepted each other and tarted dating.. SB and DH are being stretched only because they are the leads?

i remember crying my eyes out watching this..

also bring it on ghost.. it is also a popular kdrama internationally and seems to have done decent run in korea as well..
the drama also had kim so hyun and ok taec yeon kiss at the very first episode.. she was also in her school uniform and was underage for real.. she was 16 at that time and he was 27..
i dont see anyone complaining about the age gap or her being in school uniform.. in fact BIOG couple is one of the most successful pairing of ksh..

if they were gonna make YJ-DH breakup on ep 9 then this drama should have been an 18 episode drama.. that would have given them ample amount of time to show the time gap and growth of DH-SB's relationship.. i usually take notice of the minute details so i got it that there is a sufficient amount of time gap b/w DH's breakup and him realizing his feelings for SB.. but for people who binge watch the show might not feel the time gap..

what exactly is there to hate about jcw?( for that matter any of the korean celebs).. the only thing i hate about korean entertainment industry is the pressure they put on celebs to maintain a certain image.. its hard to see the real personality of these celebs because almost all of them behave the same way..

also there is only 2 episodes left..
they have to show SB-DH as well as DS-GB..
