I'm not a man. You were wrong while trying to correct me. Sure hope you're not a man either. I used a slang term that described your action not your person because that's what my mind came up with when I read your comment early in the morning. Thanks for the dopamine btw, it helped me get out of bed. If you want to insist on your semantics complaint, I found the creator of the graph for you. https://www.ft.com/content/29fd9b5c-2f35-41bf-9d4c-994db4e12998 Have a good week!

Incidentally I just saw a graph showing that since about 2016, young South Korean men took a fast dive down a scale from liberal (top) to conservative (bottom) while young women have become more liberal. A similar gap between the genders was also shown for the US, the UK, and Germany but the South Korean males plummeted in a much steeper curve and down to a much lower degree.

I just read about the final episode. Glad I did because I'll spare myself sitting through that. Disgusting. I don't think I can enjoy LMH after this role.
Ridiculous show. Like, how is he so heartbroken about a fertilized egg? Is this a Christian fundamentalist propaganda effort? It really puts me off the character. Gilead vibes, obgyns too invested in birthing babies rather than women's health.
And all the utterly implausible stuff:
Why no medical check-up before space mission ?
Where did she get the pregnancy speed test from? Do they really keep those on space stations?
How did the judge believe the doc went to space on his own? He never could have afforded to go. It was too obvious that he was sent by the rich guy for the judge to believe the lie.
This exactly. To me it also seemed like the individual scenes were all disjointed and unconnected by any kind of story development. Like the writers forgot to connect the string of events into a string. Like they used some cheap formula or AI to come up with tropey romantic scenes and then didn't care enough to weave it all together properly. Waste of a fun premise.
So i don't know what is happening here. I last watched episode 3 on Thursday and it was really enjoyabel (better…
Maybe the people who don't like it stop rating episodes because they have stopped watching. Those people probably gave the show a low rating as they dropped it. Thus, the pool of people the later episode ratings are drawn from has a higher proportion of people who are into it while the overall rating includes everyone who dropped the show.
Wow. I mean there are a few popular dramas that I find unbearably dull and annoying but I'd feel like I'd be taking it too far if I was to tear them down in what appears to be some orchestrated hate fest with an armada of incensed bullies. What a weird way to spend your time.
This lost me in the first ten minutes. It seems to push the idea that the separation of powers is useless, employing a fearmongering tactic to drive home the argument, i.e. by an iconic nightmare scene showing extreme violence against women.
I do hope that at some point it is made clear that cops must not be allowed to be judges and executioners but I don't think I will keep watching to confirm.
The only remarkable thing is your over reactive tantrum. ALEXITHYMIA brought up in the FICTIONAL SHOW (not a documentary)…
Why are you getting personal? And where do you get that I conflated the brother's condition with the main character's? Way to belittle and dismiss my critique without having properly read it.
They imprison him because he endangered himself with drugs, totally oblivious to the shitload of danger they are exposing this queer artist with history of depression to by confining him in a place ripe with violence and toxic masculinity. Like, have you SEEN his insta? You know there's the type of violent men in prison who feel triggered by someone like Yoo Ah In. It's very worrying.
The ableism in this show is remarkable. Honestly, probably the only thing that stands out and that I will remember it for, not fondly.
Please, if you have watched this, get some real world information on alexithymia. This show is using a very real condition to sell their mediocre story on the backs of neurodivergent people. Spreading harmful myths and adding to existing stigma.
Alexithymia does not mean you're a monster. There is no overlap with Antisocial PD or anything like it. People with alexithymia are often also autistic and they might suffer from anxiety and depression.
Alexithymia doesn't mean you can't feel physical sensations, including pain. On the contrary, since people with alexithymia have difficulty identifying emotions, it often helps them to learn what physical sensations go along with certain emotions. For example, they might recognize they are anxious by getting sweaty palms or sad by a tight feeling in the chest.
As with autism, cognitive empathy can be a difficult, i.e. putting yourself in someone else's shoes. But that doesn't mean that there is no empathy with another person once the person with alexithymia has understood that the other person is suffering.
This is a condition that you are born with and you CANNOT "cure" it. There are workarounds that help the person with alexithymia like the one described above. But if an alexithymic person is not suffering, there is not need for them to change anything about them. They are not a danger to other people. There is no impulse control issues with it or anything that would make them a danger.
I found it very jarring that this show kept feeding the audience such harmful misinformation about an actually existing condition. It's one thing to spin stories around a fantasy skill such as "psychometry", but a whole different thing to spin defamation about actually existing neurodivergent people.
Thank you. I'm just watching and getting as upset about the misrepresentation on and stigmatization of alexithymia. It's planting a very wrong image in the minds of the audience.
It's one thing to fantasize about a made-up ability like psychometry, but an entire different story if you write up nonsense about a real-world condition. And the show is totally shameless in making up stuff, like the tidbit about the "small amygdala".
And if you NEED to be a b**** about it, it is progressive/conservative, liberal/authoritarian, and left/right.

And I kinda liked Absolute Boyfriend (I was a fan of the manga first).

I noticed even though I liked and enjoyed it overall for how well-made and -acted it was.
