Imo if you make donations you shouldnt release press releases about it, just donate in silence, if you really…
I also wondered about that. Question: Why are many donations made by K-Celebrities are publicized (ex: news articles, their own personal Instagram page) rather than made anonymously or kept on the down-low?
Ex: Every holiday year, a Korean artist makes an instagram post of her charitable donation. The photo is a proof of donation, letter of thanks, and includes the total KRW donated.
Possible reasons : - To increase awareness in the causes they support - To encourage others to donate to the specific charities - To improve/maintain their positive image ("image-making") - To show that the charity is trustworthy (will do right with the funds received)
I hope Bora's friend gets a divorce with her husband.
He talks trash with his friend about women and marriage. He puts on his teary 'I'm-sorry-cause-I-got-caught' face on. He plays a cruel prank of turning on cold water while she's in the shower, thinking he's going in for a kiss.
If they stay together, what message is that sending to viewers?
Is it that "all marriage has problems, stay and deal with them"? -_- She doesn't look happy.
If he no longer loves her (to the point of self-hypnosing that love, as he lectured his friend), then he should end the marriage. Don't waste her time. She can find someone who truly loves and cares for her.
I’m about 3/4 through the first episode but I’m finding it difficult to finish. The stepmom and her daughter…
"a year ago" - perhaps you've watched it - but for anyone coming by:
You're absolutely right (they are complete psychos).
Yes. Lots of abuse. Jung Suh's father is a doormat and never sides with his own daughter; he is a puppet to the stepmom. Their actions goes into more CRIMINAL territory as stepdaughter becomes an adult.
The experience is 98% bad time and 2% good time. I'd skip if you want to leave with your heart (and blood pressure) unscathed ..
This drama got one of the worst set ups/first episodes. It's infested with revolting irredeemable manipulative…
I also hated SML in "Sad Love Story" (similar thing, except with blindness over amnesia).
During that time, characters were often very ONE dimensional. FL would always be super nice, gracious, pretty, and utterly a damsel-in-distress. There would be a jealous, evil SFL. And also a SML who would make selfish decisions out of "love" only to later regret it (cue: redemption arc).
A comment on a old YouTube video summarizing this drama said:
"This drama gave viewers CANCER from watching all the ordeals FL went through, and ultimately FL died from CANCER"
Her life was truly sad. All 'cause her dad fell in love with the wrong woman... Her dad had absolutely no spine. It was also sad that SML died for no reason - FL only got to see ML for a short time. SML hoped that she could see and enjoy a long life with ML. Very sad.
UP TO EP 2dude i came here with expectations, but damn the first ep was already a no for me (what's with bullies…
All 100% of the students paralyzed (froze) in fear when the teacher screamed at them to "Run!" Not one of them. The fight-or-flight (or freeze) response is at play, but it's hard to believe that at least ONE of them didn't think to run. IRL, there's AT LEAST one individual who will run. Statistically, the chance that all 100% students will freeze in that situation [in episode 2] is very, very low... like winning a lottery.
I did not really enjoy ep 4. I wish Kdramas would stop showing drunken women going on a tirade and embarrassing…
For real, they need to stop that :|
Come on writers, there has to be a new, different, or original way to develop the story - show how ML finds himself caring about FL - without having her wasted and getting him to look after her!

His narration sounded like what we'd read in Korean webnovels or webtoons.. A little on the cheesy side.
We don't know yet. We can only speculate for now ^_^;;;
Example:
Tree of Heaven <- Main couple are step siblings.

Granted, it allowed FL to live as "Ji Soo" care-free and away from harassment of step-mom & step-sister... but it also kept FL away from ML. :/
I guess his redemption arc was good: revealing the crimes of his family and killing himself to donate his eyes to FL.

- Winter Sonata
- Tree of Heaven

Not a big fan of both Ahns but oh well.
Is there a way we can view ALL of the comments we've left in one spot and even delete if we wanted?
