Or maybe in this case they are just Korean citizens who voice their concern because they have a voice that people…
And Bong Joon Ho does the opposite. There is a business interest, yes: freedom of expression. His (rightful) concern is that under this president that invokes martial law to get his opinions justified censorship is inevitable.

But if it was purely business, then he would support the sitting president, as is in most countries, conservatives and coroporates have shared interests: they are allergic to change. The opposing party (Democratic Party) wants social safety nets, worker protections and so on, all things that are bad for business (including the entertainment industry).

In hindsight, the signs of Yoon's potential for drastic actions were present, particularly in his history as a prosecutor and his confrontational rhetoric. However, these were either underestimated or dismissed in the context of a heated political climate and a desire for change. The martial law declaration can now be seen as a manifestation of the traits that critics warned about early in his political career.

Yeah, I just got to the episode that showed how it really was. It's even more heartbreaking.

FL did hesitate for a split second ("I started wondering if it was possible again"). The second love triangle is the ML's ex, ML and FL, but at that point the FL didn't really sort out her feelings yet. The third is the ML's mother, her husband and her boss, with a nice twist and then finally, Mo-Eum, Kang Do Ho and the memory of his dead wife. I really like their dynamic, she's the perfect woman to break trough his walls and wouldn't mind a spin-off with them in the lead say, 10 years from now with Yeon Du as teenager.

It's not every ep with a Drunken scene? That's mainly for the dads and like two scenes of the ML.
I dropped Dr. Slump mostly because of the cheesy romance, so it bothered me less, cause the drama was bad anyway. I like this drama, but the alcohol in K-Dramas is like the sex in Hollywood. Totally unnessecary.

Right, because every man that feels like shit, should drink till they drop instead of working through the emotions and communicate. It's such a bad cliché.

I like things in this drama in general, but what irks me is that it feels like every episode has a drunken scene or two and it gets old and annoying. Thans Netflix for the skip 10 seconds button.

I'm 1.6m tall and weigh a perfectly healthy 44kg, i don't see the issue
The BMI for her weight/height is 16.2. In the Netherlands (where I was born) the government empowered non profit agency for healthy nutricion will tell you to immediately go to a doctor (ref: https://www.voedingscentrum.nl/nl/bmi-meter) and have yourself examined. Granted, European bones may be heavier than asian.

However, with the WHO standard, a BMI score of 16 is the border for "Severe thinness" and as you can see in this calculator, you are in the light red with 16.2, bordering the red (ref: https://www.calculator.net/bmi-calculator.html?cage=29&csex=f&cheightfeet=5&cheightinch=10&cpound=160&cheightmeter=163&ckg=43&printit=0&ctype=metric&x=Calculate).

In conclusion, you'll live, but I would be concerned for myself and ask my doctor if there would be any long term effects if I stayed at this weight and what signs to look for.

Unpopular opinion ahead!!Ah yes, the good ole days of K-dramas with their excessive screaming and slapping and…
Indeed, Koreans have one night stands too. And affairs. The actors when kissing look like they have jealous and abusive parners who will rip them a new one if the kiss seems too realistic.

Going through all those stages, giggling when taking a hand, gigling when thinking about taking a girl's hand - I wasn't even that silly in my teens. But it's painted as that is how everyone lives and for that I actually welcome shows like The Glory, that show a different Korean people.

But I defenitely wouldn't welcome the everybody screws everybody tropes seen in Hollywood series. Or the trope that every recovering alcoholic will have at least one relapse within the span of the series. Or that women in their late 30's get divorced and become lesbian for a while.

Lately, I'm going for the tear jerkers with a message (Daily Dose of Sunshine, Thirty Nine) or thrillers / court / medical, but when looking at my own ratings I can also see that I've become less rewarding since it isn't all new anymore and I get more critical of execution (especially with bad idol actors).

For consistency. The more famous actors/actresses get to pick their dubbing partner. Qiao Shi Yu is one of the top voice actresses (https://wiki.d-addicts.com/Qiao_Shi_Yu) and as she's transitioning to dubbing director, Dilireba's voice has already changed to Liu Xiao Yu for The Legend of Aini.

The Baeksang Arts Awards are representative of both film and TV in Korea and generally considered the highest honours.

You did notice that these are the SBS drama awards, giving awards to content that aired on SBS? So that makes the pool a lot smaller.

Title Connection Spoiler
Yes the fact that everyone was helping her as if she was some poor victim and needed a better life.
I'd like to think of it this way:
She didn't get forgiveness. They supported their lost friend, that each in their own way had wronged and was undeserving of it. By helping her, they were helping him, and resolving their guilt, because they know there was a time he loved her.

Title Connection Spoiler
Pls give me a spoiler, Is it a happy ending ? Is there romance and they end up together ?
There is a tiny bit of a lingering flame between Ji Sung and Jeon Mi Do, it's done very well. And of course Jung Soon Won's unrequited love towards Jeon Mi Do for comic relief. The scene where he stops Mi Do from getting choked is awesome.
Both are done with the right amount to not distract from the fact that it's a thriller.

Does anyone recognise the actor with the hearing aid (ep 9-10)? I swear I seen him in something else, but just can't place him.

I also couldn't connect with his acting in his other works but loved this one!❤️
> Although surpisingly he did well also in the more happy romcom esque moments in The Atypical Family....Maybe because the character suited him.

I think that's also partly for the writing. By the time he's allowed to show his love, you are really rooting for him to just enjoy it. Too many K-Dramas have what feels like hours of wasted lovey dovey stuff in slow motions, that it's hard not to become annoying.
