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.
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). I'd like to know if that isn't considered grooming, and who was her manager at that time (the mother?), and what the agency was.
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.
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.
If you like k-noir dramas like this I'd recommend Narco-Saints, and Save Me 1 & 2
Doesn't matter to me. I like ensemble dramas that portray a whole community and this is one. Realistic and serious, dark drama. It really takes its time to build the case, so it is not for the impatient. The bright side is that we get a fully fleshed out story.
They can't even tolerate someone having different views than them and it's the same 10 people. They want everyone…
Being against this all is cyberbullying is the adult thing to do. But then all of this bottomless cruelty gets thrown to us bystanders too. These cyberbullies are like zombies who get stronger and stronger by finding new victims in the form MDL users. What really the actual benefit from making "guilty" hate lists of MDL users. I feel dizzy from the craziness.
Wow. The sheer amount of hate here is both exhausting and depressingly predictable. Are we uncovering a crime…
Well said. And now we are on their hate list as well and bullied here. Because being against this all is the adult thing to do. All of this cruelty gets thrown to us bystanders too. These cyberbullies are like zombies who get stronger and stronger by finding new victims in the form MDL users. What really the point of making "guilty" hate lists of MDL users. I feel dizzy from the craziness.
I AM AGAINST MDL LYNCHMOB. I'M NOT PRO-KSH, PRO-PEDOPHILIA. This thing of making hate lists of users and sharing them is just NOT OKAY. If people are not asking someone to die or do not hope quick death to KSH that does not make them monsters. Cyberbullies have completely taken over this site.
This was intense and not boring for a minute. The plot twists were very good. Shin Hyun Been is awesome in noir dramas and films (pls nobody put her in a romcom again). Ryu Jun Yeol's character was similar to the obsessed priest in Save Me Season 2. I was totally immersed. 9/10.
I don't normally watch fluff, but this one's pretty good in the fluff category. I liked the FLs, particularly 2FL. They were badass and classy. This would have been better if it had been 10 episodes shorter. I skipped all scenes with the 3rd couple, bc they were just stretching the whole thing unnnecessarily. I'd love to see WZQ in a less goofy romantic role but he was again showing great versatility. The kid was adorable and has all the best lines, deservedly bc he delivered them so well. 7/10
Lily Alice must be happy now that she's turned MDL nation into a bloodthirsty lynchmob. Asking someone to suicide himself to me smells pretty much as a hate crime. MDL users now also want users who do not accept celebrity gossip to die and go to hell. They put up hate lists of users who are not hating KSH enough. If you wanted to destroy this site, you made a damn good job of it. Now enjoy that your celebrity obsession is supported by all the cluless kids. The users are spewing insults at one another over a thing about which we will never know the truth. Well done Lily Alice, well done indeed. If I owned this site I'd make sure that everyone sticks to drama discussion. But this place is lost in toxicity.
