Look at all the fangirls defending unhealthy drug use, but would be the first to CRY CRY when this same unhealthy…
Most people are upset that SK will send a vulnerable person with mental health issues (including addiction) into prison which is a super toxic environment likely to push that vulnerable person over the edge.
Also, people don't see how something that a person does to themselves because they are hurting is treated more harshly than violent crimes against others.
Thirdly, netizens being so morally enraged about someone struggling with addiction looks incredibly cruel from an outside viewpoint.
Fourthly, some of us are way beyond girl age and have life experience with drug use and addiction and know that authoriarian drug policy is rarely helpful.
At episode 4 now. This looks like peak sadism. The humiliation and deprivation around bodily needs and forced sexual acts, all leading into extreme violence. Personally, not my kind of kink. Only sticking with it because I like seeing Ryu Jun-yeol act. But I might still drop it. Or stick it out. It's only 8 shortish episodes at least.
whole plot is kind of stranger... Why don't everyone just escape from korea?? boat, cars (north korea and China)...…
Have you paid attention to how refugees are treated around the world? How many drown in the Mediterranean each year? No way would the better-off countries in such a catastrophic event take in the entire population of Korea, Japan and surrounding areas. They'd shoot them before letting them enter, like has already happened at the EU border in Greece. It is disheartening but realistic that only a few people with special skills or resources would receive shelter.
Not often you see 6.6, has this anything to do with YAI or the writing/production is just awful? How can you even…
Yes, I think it must have something to do with that, either people upset it is airing at all or people upset some of Ah-in's parts were cut. But also, people expecting an action survival thriller when that is not what this is. It's more slow and philosophical, but well acted and with coherent writing as far as I can tell having watched up to episode 8.
Korea's has a tough anti drug policy like the rest of Asia.The West's kid gloves approach to drugs is a complete…
The prohibition of Marihuana specifically hails back to the military dictatorship. Cannabis was widely grown as a crop in South Korea up until the early 70s when the dictator felt its effects on people's minds weren't very compatible with the entire military dictatorship thing.
Monday/Tuesday tend to fare poorly compared to other days of the week in terms of ratings.In terms of star power,…
Kim Hye Yoon is so good! She masters all the different stages her character goes through, with their different life experience. All clearly distinguished from each other and all believable. The only thing that makes the young teens a little hard to believe is that her face doesn't have the teenage fluff anymore, but it's just physical appearance; her acting is always on point.
I was impressed by her acting in Snowdrop, and this performance confirms how skilled she really is.
Is he in love with her? Or is he spying on her for her brother? There was the scene when he was listening in on her talking to someone. Was this for her or for someone else? Also, earlier he seemed very controlling and like he needed to be informed about everything she did, pressuring her secretary for details. I feel like this story line needs closure.
Why do we give these things the time of day? They're just nasty stories from anonymous people who want to strike…
It's entirely plausible that a victim be retraumatized by seeing the perpetrator in a bully role on screen and then change their stance on wanting to sue them even that many years after the assault.
Where did you hear that? This article from four hours ago says the casting has been confirmed by the production…
I definitely would. I did not think they came across as unlikable. The only unlikable party in the entire mess was the netizens fucking up people's lives over matters that were none of anyone's business but the people directly involved.
no... but no one can deny that the "vegan meat" is nothing healthy
That's a very broad statement. I'd be willing to bet a hundred euro that I can find evidence of people who can deny that. Message me if you are up for it.
Is this going to be propaganda for the meat industry? With an "evil vegans" theme?
I read an article about the show and the intention of the writer is not at all what I was worried that it might be.
"Lee said her choice of the subject of lab-grown meat as the main theme of the series stemmed from her desire for a future where animals need not be slaughtered for consumption and forests need not be destroyed for food production. "

Edit: I was wrong. The sex crime was in 2002, way before Stranger was filmed.
