this scandal is really very surprising.let's assume that the two have been a couple since she was a minor.now…
It seems to boil down to marriage or not. KSR had an adult role in a romance drama at the age of 14 which everyone now conveniently ignores. I'd like to know if that isn't considered grooming. Who was her manager at that time (the mother?). Under which agency (Fantagio?)?
Kim Sae Ron was 14 years old when she played FL the romance drama Hi School Love On (2014) with an adult male lead (20-21).
Comments from the drama page:
"What do you think of age gap of FL being 13/14 old (most likely a kid) and ML, SL being 20-21 yr old...? i know there wasn't any kiss scene...but there was a almost kiss scene.. when i watched it 1st time i thought she was 17-18 but it's shocking that she was just 13-14 that time. . "
"Casting an underage girl and made her play a role dating someone who’s 9 years older than her and living together as a student. "
"There's a "joke" in ep 2 that woohyun's character makes because Saeron's character walks in on him showering. "Why don't I watch you shower and see how you feel?""
Things like this and much more is ignored. KSR previous 18 suicide attempts, her shotgun marriage in New York Jan 2025, her boyfriend saying things about the husband, her manager looking after her on a daily basis and paying hospital bills.
Everyone always has their own side and stakes from which they tell a story. Husband, boyfriend, mom, manager, KSH, Hoverlab, GM.
It's just not normal to claim to know the facts of the case.
Aren't you worried that you're ignoring things that actually are going on in the world ? and relying on a very dubious YouTuber who's making millions from this mess? People are murdered in Palestine, Yemen, Syria and Lebanon. Watching the public humiliation and lynching of one man is more important? Even if this case proves he's guilty, will that stop anything? And you're just as or even more guilty bc you're a ruthless cyberbully.
MDL has convenietly scrapped that article (Kim Soo Hyun & Kim Sae Ron dating rumour). Otherwise we would see the very same people who bullied KSR mercilessly are bullying KSH now. Passion for unhinged hateful commenting gets rewarded by the rest of the sociopaths here.
Sociopath: someone who doesn’t seem to take any consideration for other people's feelings or an understanding social norms. They lack an understanding of right and wrong no matter who gets hurt. Antisocial personality:
Not understanding the difference between right and wrong. Not respecting the feelings and emotions of others. Constant lying or deception. Being callous. Difficulty recognizing emotion. Manipulation. Arrogance. Violating the rights of others through dishonest actions. Impulsiveness. Risk-taking. Difficulty appreciating the negative aspects of their behavior.
I am not denying that KSH is a narcissist, most actors are. Sort of comes with the profession. He is not even denying it himself.
SK has bred a generation of bullies and sociopaths but luckily these rarely breed so there's light at end of a tunnel I guess.
The dishonesty here is taking only the bits of KSR's life, management, boyfriends that suit the narrative that she was murdered by KSH.
It begins again. the whole Entertainment industry of Korea is toxic. When a scandal breaks out about a kdrama…
Yes I remember writing that too. Now MDL has convenietly scrapped that article (Kim Soo Hyun & Kim Sae Ron dating rumour). Otherwise we could see it's the very same people who bullied KSR mercilessly. Bullies will be bullies and they are allowed to rule the world now.
Anyone who watches KSH's press conference and says that his emotional upset and tears are "fake," needs to be…
How can it be that these people can't for a minute put themselves in his shoes. That's a basic human skill. Elementary. Not having that capacity means they are sociopaths.
This is actually not bad at all, it has its own strenghts. The atmosphere is grim and that is by design. Cinematography and location are pretty awesome. The weaknesses are that we don't get to know the characters well enough to care about them. The motives for murders are not always credible. The love story of support characters is not cringey but takes too much space. I think the director just fell in love with his own shots and didn't have the heart to cut them as he should have. Like all Light On series noir dramas, this gets more tight and suspenseful towards the end. I definitely don't regret watching this although on my scale it's just 6.5./10.
Your points are well-stated. I just listened to Kim Soo Hyun’s presentation. The following comments seemed unrelated…
There is nothing that he have could said about the deceased or their life together without being blamed of defaming and/or lying. It's obvious to everyone that QoT would have suffered from his acknowledgement of the relationship during the airing. Everyone in the production would have been influenced and he had to protect them. He said they had a relationship and it ended (uncomfortably). He said everyone has a private life in addition to a public life. I think that much should be so obvious to everyone but no. Everything is twisted to fit the narrative as if we don't know anything about how the industry functions.

And pls stop the racist bashing of Nigerian fans and ageist bashing of ahjummas. That's just so utterly dirty and indecent and bizarre. As if throwing mud in every direction is now suddenly acceptable behavior. How crazy can you be to go through all the gossip sites picking up comments to laugh at and posting them here.
I like this a lot based on first 3 episodes. For c-noir drama lovers. Chen Jiang He is delightfully temperamental, his shouting at the office makes me amused. The mountaineous half-desert location is very beautiful.
Hoverlab will be making about 500 000 at least from their "reporting", family gets a cut, 50 000. Defamation lawsuit gives them a 5000 fine. These are just the proportions. Based on the knowledge (reported by Korea Times) that political YouTube channels are currently raking in millions from their reporting after the military coup effort. We will never know whether this is the case regarding the family or not. But we know that Hoverlab has come up with a bullet proof method of making millions. Hoverlab has already begun to dig up dirt on other celebrities (Cha Eun Woo). This will go on forever if people don't get their heads straigthened.
All that gives me comfort from my distress of seeing the SK bloodthirsty lynchmob of cyberbullies is that this nation will soon go extinct. These people are like the Red Guards carrying unhinged public humiliation parades with beatings during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. I didn't know or understand that people will go violent to this degree when given free reign to shoot anonymously from their basements. This is a case for the history books. It's just scary how this place, MDL, is filled with insane bloodlusty babies (emphasis on the word lust) who just want a man to shoot his brains out. Like the woke mind virus which essentially just breeds anger and looking for something or someone to judge. Also, unfulfilled lives and loneliness can be root causes for venting anger, hatred and toxicity to this degree. I see a few adult voices here for which I'm grateful. But all in all the SK media is just making money on this mess without any restraints. I was expecting to see a full "step on the brakes on everybody" from newspapers today but no. I can imagine how the actors in SK feel. They may be the model citizens that their contracts dictate them to be, But still they have to worry endlessly that someone will post an out-of-context picture of them presumably doing something dubious. Only a nation of adult children needs their celebrities to be role models. That is the root problem.
I know only a few people will understand that I'm looking at the big picture here so there'll be a full page of comments throwing mud at me. So be it. But I've been very vocal about the harms of bringing celebrity gossip to MDL. Always objected. Now this place is just lost. Nothing will ever bring the positive drama lovers community vibe back. I don't even want to watch k-dramas anymore.
This actually quite good. Mainly about a group of juvenile office prosecutors who do their best to help and support youths with difficulties. No social porn, not dark or depressing. Minimal suspense. More warmth and optimism. The plot gets going slowly, exploring intertangled cases and crimes. Bc of the slowness, I watched on 1.5 speed. The acting is top notch.
