It's just crazy this controversy happened right as he was getting popular. His drama is literally still on the air.

Also, we're "anonymous" here too. 🤷

The poor bartender Joo Hwan, I was raging at no one attempting to save him. "Why tf are you all letting him bleed to death in her lap???!!!" But I assume he made it as he was still conscious unlike comatose Shi Hyun.

I forgot to say I loved Tae Hee's father. He should win Parent of the Show award.

Whats up with this 'time jumps' in k dramas? Ugh!

This is not a Korean culture issue -- this is a common sense issue. It's common sense for the Daesang winners to stand in the center, as it's common sense for the bride and groom and gold medalists and Miss Korea to stand in the center.

Why was Jung Hae In even anywhere near the center? Look at cutie Kim Soo Hyun.

Fans are defending him by saying he was confused at where to stand. What is there to be confused about? Ask yourself, "Did I win a Daesang?" If the answer is no, you move your ass to the back.

If the staff had directed him to stand at the center as FNC claims, then the staff just screwed him over. The staff had to have known there would be backlash at Jung Hae In standing in-between Jo Seung Woo and Kim Yong Hwa with Kim Yoon Seok standing in the second row.

I'm with K-netz too for this one. I don't know why but I'm uncomfortable looking at this photo. And this is change my mind when I'm looking at Pretty Noona again. At first I don't mind about the controversy but after I read the article and saw some of video, even the fancam ones, I think I know why many people bash him. It's important to apologize for JHI if he want to save his popularity.

Oh, that would be awesome too. If only Yong-min can be a liiiiiittle bit less materialistic.

I asee that there will be a period where the baby raise by senmi.

I already watched mindhunter early this year. I agree with you, it's more superior than Manhunt, plus I could see Anna Torv again after Fringe ended five years ago!

Ok , alright , ok I do have faith !!!
Thank you for recommending it , and I'm going to check KYJ's other dramas right now , I wanna see her in something not historical , and MDBC is my first historical drama !! I like the vibe of it , I might start watching more historical dramas after I finish this one ! :)

That's his name, yes! I was loving it when they confronted that sleazy guy who wanted Officer Min Seok to pay for an assault he didn't even commit. Police force, fighting!

I really wish someone would make an edit of just the three students. I read the recaps and didn't care for the main couple but I really want to see all the student scenes. They seemed so relatable and hilarious.

@diniyuukie,

You and me both. The only reservation I have is that it's still early in the year, and by the time awards season rolls around, viewers and the powers who be will have forgotten just how great LIVE is.

That was what I feared for REBEL: THIEF WHO STOLE THE PEOPLE last year, and for the exact same reason. It was a wonderful show with a fantastic ensemble cast and powerhouse performances. SEVEN DAY QUEEN dealt with the same tyrant, and was also terrific. Methinks they were of differing lengths, so were technically in different categories. I was really torn. They were both epic shows. But as far as heart goes, I'd have to give the edge to REBEL. In fact, the myriad side characters with significant contributions were forerunners of LIVE's large cast.

EP. 15 & 16 SPOILER WARNING!!!

Dear @cloggie,

First, my hat is off to your father, who managed to "serve and protect"
until he could retire. It is such a dangerous and physically demanding profession that surviving in it for 20-30 or more years is a feat in itself. God bless him, and his family who supported him in his work.

No one in my family is in law enforcement. Nevertheless, I am appalled by this horrid situation of being personally vulnerable to civil suits when performing in the line of duty. It is so screwed up. That being the case, no one in their right mind would go into law enforcement unless they had no other way to make a liv-- oh, er, right. That's the whole point of the show. That despite enormous inequities inflicted on members of the profession, people enter it anyway, and not just because they have no other options. They're not out to become filthy-rich civil servants, either.

The corruption and cronyism among the higher-ups is nauseating. It looks like something right out of a sageuk. (Which is not to say that we don't have such stuff going on in America. We do. Some locales are infamous for their deeply institutionalized corruption that goes back for generations.) Some things never change, especially human nature. So much for equality before the law.

It was especially frustrating to see that the crooked detective who got Yang-chon busted down from captain, and whom he helped catch running a prostitution ring, was let off with a slap on the wrist for merely gambling. I was ready to scream.

Meanwhile, the news gives short shrift to an officer, nearing retirement and still on the job despite serious illness, who was gunned down in cold blood by a paranoid alcoholic. At first I thought the guy was strung out on PCP. The alleged assailant had first attacked three civilians. Most likely he will not be prosecuted for any of his actions. But I bet that Infernal Affairs will throw the book at the officers who shot and tased him to prevent him from harming anyone else. I can just hear the cries of "police brutality!" now.

All the bad apples spoil the reputation of the thousands of honest law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day. And the high-and-mighty public, preoccupied with its own more important matters, couldn't care less. The public and faceless netizens are the new corrupt yangban trampling a new class of slaves.

He issss

LOL, someone has fallen in love. HARD 😀

Same here. It's amazing how they constructed the story centered around 1 murder case only. Tightly written and a thoroughly well done drama.

Which is why Forest of Secrets keeps winning Daesangs. 🙌

If LJH is in FoS I will have to watch that show. I know it was a big hit in its time, but I didn't feel like it then.
Maybe after all my does are over.... for I am not interested in the recent premieres or the next shows.
So... maybe, because I also like LJH very much. 😍♥😍

i've seen it 4 times and each time it's still as incredible as the first.

She gets worse. :/ I've paused it at ep 10.
Kudos to the actress - she's doing a spectacular job. A little too good. I have remind myself that Jin Ah's mom is NOT a real person but a fictional character and these negative feelings are unnecessary.

*high fives* My thinking exactly.

I paused too. I think I need to know how it ends before continuing so my anger over the mother won't spill into real life.

Yup - In fact the absence of My Ahjusshi eps gave me time to catch up on other shows, but I really missed it.

You're not making a very convincing case for "suits" ^^

Oh! Our resident reporter-nim. :) Thanks, I'm pretty certain I need to watching Live, by this point.

Thanks. I would only check out Suits for Park Hyung Sik. Am not keen on legal dramas generally.

I'm also watching My Ahjusshi, and I'm convinced I need to be watching Live, so perhaps I should wait till My Ahjusshi ends; is what I've decided from your response. :) But Live it is!

Suits korea i think more slow paced than US, maybe that is what make it not so crack. But perfomance from JDG as harvey specters i must admit pretty good, he got the feel but still have his own signature as an actor. I think ep 4 still on introduction, so ill watch 2 more to decide to follow or drop it.

For live, i think my ahjussi is much bleaker than this show. My ahjussi is comlpletely a dark drama even the humor was dark too. Live definitely lighter.

He's so cheesy/greasy, ugh I can't stand it. I hate that he keeps throwing random English phrases as if it'll make him look more sophisticated. I don't remember ever hating Daniel Henney this much in My Name is Kim Sam-soon so it's definitely the actor. Plus the writing doesn't help either. I mean, why are you hitting on a married woman, dude?

I just hope he's gone in a flash.

I wonder what's the purpose of this character. If show wants to say that Hye Jin is capable and attractive, that there's a handsome man like Mall CEO who can appreciate her, they are so wrong. In fact, they are doing her character a disfavor. Why can't she be capable without being an object of interest? I especially dislike it when he uses his CEO position to get close to her. Urrrrghhhh...

I'm seriously considering marathoning LIVE myself on Netflix when it finally airs in the US.

Same. T^T
