"anonymous victim" and the story ends here ..#Snowflakes
If they're getting attack while being "anonymous", imagine what would happen if they showed they faces. Let's not forget that you're saying this while using a celebrity picture, not yours.....snowflake.
I’m not excusing bullying because that is a serious offense but even if he was a bully in the past what must…
My problem with this statement is they everyone knows that they mostly do not regret it, they just issue an apology seing they're "sorry, will reflect and hope the fans can forgive". And in the end I think the industry itself tries to cut ties with people like that (who either was a bully or couldn't hide their past) because it could put their next work in jeopardy. Imagine being an actress in a popular drama and out of nowhere there's a scandal that drop the ratings. No one would ever work with that person related to the scandal ever again.
My problem with this is the same in the west or east. They never apology to the person they caused harm to, it's only to the "fans". It is literally "I'm sorry I got caught".
Let's not forget that if true, those people hid this from producers, directors, and everyone in the process of making a drama. They put their entire work in jeopardy because this could've been revealed, especially with the way most dramas are produced.
Just like I don't think they should be banned from society altogether, I also don't think they should be able to hold such an important spotlight in the entertainment industry. What message does that convey?
I don't know if that's the best outcome, really. Honestly, I'm all up for seeing change in people and whatnot, but should someone who allegedly acted like that be a super famous person? What kind of message does that convey? How would the people who bullied and sexually offended feel? And let's not forget that half of those actor/actresses end up playing BULLIED characters sometime in their careers. How f*cked up is that?
And let's not forget that if true, they lied to pretty much everyone in order to get where they are, does that make them deserving of their positions? April's Nauen literrally played a character that was bullied in Extraordinary You, while allegdly being a bully herself (not too long ago).
The show is ok but the hosts are ruining it. Heechul is barely there, the old guy acts like a kid who doesn't know anything and the young female just goes with the flow (that doesn't exist). The only good host is the guy who used to host Heart Signal. Who would've thought, huh?
This is Netflix, they have to appeal not only kdramas fans abut also fans of your usual tv show. They already…
"16 years old contemplating to hold hands? fine I guess, little unrealistic but whatever. 30somethings? get the heck out of here!"
That's the Korea they want to sell you like no one has tattoos, the poor areas are cleaner than your bathroom. A 5-minute search and you will eventually find out the truth about those conditions. The idea that a 32-year-old good-looking woman/man has never kissed before is unrealistic as possible, especially in a country that values beauty above all.
"Not to mention many K movies are really raunchy so that's up Netflix alley."
The main leads are really great. The dynamics of both female leads are good, and the male lead is far from being a perfect human being, which makes this a great drama.
The only problem is that the side characters of this drama are as bad as those gangsters from Strongwoman.

Exactly, and Netflix knows that. Both of their romance dramas are not even 16 episodes long (and they're split in two seasons!). I know that the people who usually browse communities like this one are younger and so on, but at the end of the day, Netflix needs to make the 35 millennial who end up paying the subscription. Don't get me wrong, I really like a well-done romance, but after a few hundreds shows I am over the cliches that most of them have, that's why most of my fav romances for the past few years don't even have a "romance" tag here on MDL. Let's wait and see.

I see exactly where you're coming from. That was exactly what brought me to korean dramas in the first place. The romance that was based on conversation and feelings rather than attraction, but I am sorry to tell you, even that becomes boring after a while. The tiger mom cliche, the misunderstandings, the "I know from our childhood".... All of that becomes boring after a while. Now I want to see a blend of western and east shows, and I think that's what Netflix is planning here, while also getting the 100% korean drama aspect by buying rights from public and cable channels like they've done for the past few years.
