Thank you so much for the article! I've been getting more and more into slice of life lately (maybe I'm getting old, and I prefer the chill type of cinema now lol). And since I always preferred character driven show over plot driven ones, this genre is starting to perfectly fit my taste :D

Title Youth with You Season 3 Spoiler
I was wondering the same, I expect it´s indeed him participating to the YWY3 side shows... it was the same thing…
this is honestly a bit ridiculous. It's obvious that Yihang's team was greatly affected by him not being there during the practice at first... I would rather not have Youth Camp and all the additional shows, just the backstage stuff or more videos from practice, if it meant they can practice in peace and make the competition fair.

Title Youth with You Season 3 Spoiler
Anyone can tell me what kind of shooting did Yihang in episode 11 that he could not participate in practice fully? Coz if it;s anything for YWY I will be amazingly pissed.

It makes no sense for them to be allowed to do anything outside of the show as it airs, so I would say it's fair to assume it was either Youth Party or any other additional thing. But this just so not fair to take trainees out of the practice for shit like that, since it's greatly affects their performance on stage and might lower their ranking...

Title A Tale of Thousand Stars Spoiler
yeah but this is not really a case of survivors guilt. He felt guilty coz he was in fact partially responsible…
He was not behind the wheel but he organized the car chase in the first place. And when his friend told him to call of off, he said no.

He is quite irresponsible, and even his good intention keep putting people in risk. And again, at the end of the day, people should be punished for their crimes, organizing illegal car chase is a crime that led to someone dying. He was not punished for it coz his parents had money and influence.

For me the case is simple:
victim > family/people close to victim > perpetrator and people involved in the incident on the side of perpetrator

But you are putting Tian ahead of everyone else who was hurt in this scenerio. I am ALL up for his redemption, as long as he faces consequences of his actions and not have everyone cuddle him and tell him how he did nothing wrong and should forgive himself. That's why I don't have much problem with Tian himself, since he rightfully sees how he was partially responsible for what happened. I am pissed about everyone else saying he was not guilty of anything, how it was all not his fault and even using dead girls name to make Tian feel better.

Title A Tale of Thousand Stars Spoiler

So how about we just let go of all people who broke the law from prison if they feel guilt about what they done? How about during the court cases we just ask the person: do you feel guilty, and if they say yet we just let them go, coz they suffered enough lol What kind of logic is that.
He literally broke the law by organizing illegal car chase and did not get in any legal troubles simply coz his parents made the case go away with their money.

Sure, his friend who was driving should face the biggest consequences, but Tian is not guilty free. He and Tul organized ILLEGAL car chase in which someone died. Tul said: how about we call if off, you ain't feeling good. And Tian (coz pride was more important to him) said nah, and told his friend to drive instead. He is not blameless, and for me he should either face legal or social consequences of his actions.

Not to mention, Chief saying maybe Torfun chose him to receive the heart was just disrespectful, taking into consideration Tian was partially at fault coz of the organizing of illegal car chase AND he was NOT suppose to get her heart in the first place, but he got it coz the parents literally used their money to get it (which also mean, someone how needed it did not get it).

The writing is not good, since they literally swept under a rug Tian's involvement, he was never criticized for it and people close to Torfun never got the closure coz people involved in the illegal car chase never got punished.

Title A Tale of Thousand Stars Spoiler
I love that this story is about Tian and his journey dealing with survivors guilt and learning to accept that…
yeah but this is not really a case of survivors guilt.
He felt guilty coz he was in fact partially responsible for Torfun's death in the illegal car chase him and Tul organized. It's completely different from feeling guilty coz you are the only one who survived a traumatic event. What adds to his guilt (tho I think this he should not feel guilty about since he had literally no control over it), is the fact he was not suppose to get the heart. It was suppose to go to someone else, but the parents bribed whoever had to be bribed to get the heart to Tian.
I actually think they are doing really poor job so far with dealing with the situation. They are doing their best to make Tian look blameless in the situation, with everyone assuring him it was not his fault, that he should not feel guilty and that Torfun would forgive him. Not once they addressed the fact Tian is actually partially guilty. For everyone the fact he was not driving the car was enough to just ignore his involvement completely. Except from self inflicted guilt, he faced zero consequences of his illegal and irresponsible actions.

On A Tale of Thousand Stars Mar 27, 2021
The writing in episode 9 truly amazed me. They were able to make me dislike Tian (not coz of his own behavior, but rather everyone around him) and make Chief make literally no sense.

I was afraid the writer and director won't know how to handle their own conflict by the end of the show, but with how good episode 1-7 were, I started to be hopeful. Well... I should have trust my instincts lol

The only thing I can say is: Justice for Torfun and happiness for Longtae

How much outrage was there? Do we know what percentage of Koreans actually wanted it to get cancelled?
They would not speak out if the outrange would not be big enough.
Also, the % is impossible to tell. But the petition to stop the airing of the show got 127,000 signatures in one day. So that's a lot.

Title Snowdrop
As much as anyone else, I don't want the plot to be about the controversy in the comments. But let's hold out…
I mean the production team has been facing criticism for some time now. I don't understand why they didn't give a proper statement yet...

You're right, I think everyone involved just doesn't ever want to be associated with this production again. Even…
Honestly, I read about it some, and I think they have more valid reasons to be pissed about Snowdrop than Joseon Exorcist. At the end of the day this was fantasy and it could be blamed on them just not being careful enough about some stuff, but Snowdrop is based on real events that did not even happen long time ago and the victims of these events are still alive (so do the bad guys). And to be fair, Koreans already criticized Snowdrop the moment it was picked put to be produce after the production team shared the parts and bits of what it will be about. So Snowdrop had fair share of criticism even before Joseon Exorcist.

" respectful manner " is the key here, but I don't see many people truly talk about it in a mature and respectful way. Calling Koreans dumb and overreacting is not going to do much good in this situation tbh. It would most likely just make them hate the show and people involve in it more.

Just reshoot some scenes, they reshoot the whole Jisoo drama, which isn't as good. Korean nets are given too much…
Is your life going to be affected by taking the risk and reshooting the show?
No.
Are you putting the money for them to reshoot the show?
No.

It's not our place to tell the production team if and how much they should risk their careers to maybe get back the approval and finish the show. Not to mention they literally have no money to finish shooting not to mention reshooting and reediting. + the can't shoot in the theme park so they don't even have a place to reshoot. Tell me, how exactly you want them to deal with all that?

Realistically speaking, they won't see these comments tho lol
Also, don't they plan to add some official guidelines concerning historical shows and how much creative freedom can be done when dealing with either real historical figures or historical events?

I don't know, the whole situation is a mess and the real life tension between China and Korea is a serious deal, so I don't think the problems with filming other shows will go away soon and it will come back here and there with new titles too.

It's not viewers place to demand from the production team and actors to be the brave ones, risk their whole career and continue filming against the Korean public opinion, just coz international fans want to see the full show.

Guys, asking for this show to be on netflix is literally asking all people involved in the production to just quit their career after.

How many new project you think these actors will have if they decide to ignore all the outrage (whenever it is or it is not valid) and continue filming the show?

Does the novel presents Hitler as a good person, all loving and that he was right in what he did? Basically is…
I'm Polish, you don't need to explain to be how Nazi Germany is a sensitive topic.

It's just not the same comparison. In Joseon Exorcist they did not put historical figures against fictional alternative story. They wrote well respected historical figures are either villains of the story or good for nothing characters that are disrespected by everyone and they have no problems with people walking over them. It's not the same. That's why I asked about how was Hitler presented in the story. Coz only if he was presented in a good light, the comparisons would be valid.
