Oh, this now has me hoping that it's a Soylent Green remake ( h/t @hacja ).

I am so looking forward to this. Not sure if this will show up in Hulu US or if I need to go to dark side.

I hope this is good!!

The lab-grown meat industry has arrived, last year it got FDA approval. I have not looked if there are any long-term studies about it but since is a new technology (as we are told) it seems highly unlikely that they exist. I wonder if this will turn like the electric cars that were introduced as an alternative at the beginning only to be forced as the only choice upon us later. Just as the electric cars, this technology requires a lot of energy that it is hoped to be 100% renwable at some point. Will it be possible? When it will be? Nobody tells us, we just have to believe them. Both are sold to us because the climate chage mass paranoia has taken over our reason. The farting cow excuse is the most ridiculous lie that has ever been promoted and accepted by the general public. It is scary how well the machine works. The following are paragraphs from an article I will link at the end from people that know about farming more than me:
"Activist groups often blame cattle emissions – or to put it bluntly, cow farts – for climate change. That’s because cows emit methane, a greenhouse gas linked to global warming.

Yes, cow farts make for great comedy. But in reality, climate change – and livestock agriculture’s role – are a lot more complex, Place says.

Cattle and other ruminant animals account for about 4% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA).

In comparison, our transportation system — including cars, planes and more — accounts for more than 25.3 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

Even extreme dietary changes — such as switching to a vegan, all-plant diet — won’t have much impact on climate change and global temperatures, Place explains.

Research shows that removing all livestock and poultry from the U.S. food system would only reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 0.36%, she notes."
"Also worth noting, while methane is a potent greenhouse gas, it rapidly decays in 12 years, Mitloehner says. In comparison, carbon dioxide – released by burning fossil fuels - lasts in the air for hundreds of years."

If you have followed the problems the farmers have had in Europe, they are forced to reduce their productivity or sell their farms because this lie while allowing other industries in transport for example, you maybe will wonder as I am about why this is happening. Just like a farmer said recently in Irland, that he did not understand why this is imposed on farmers but Dublin airoport just got approved to increase the number of flights it can have.

I have also left a Forbes article that tries to "ease" our mind about this blood free industry so that we are not to be scared by it from the beginning and to accept it as it will take a long time until it will become popular. Sure, what about when it will become or sell it to us with carefully made studies?

Needless to say that I am very interested in this drama. I like Joo Ji-hoon and I am curious to see what this...

On a slightly related note,

How to go vegan in South Korea, a meat lover’s paradise
Tabletop grilling is a way of life in South Korea, where meat is associated with wealth and health. But a growing number of the vegan-curious are trying to reduce their intake.

a topic of the moment and little explored in the Korean industry, let's hope it is not boring, obvious and pretentious, I also hope that they do not want to indoctrinate the public

I feel a bit silly for assuming there'd be romance in this 😭

I can't wait for this to drop. Hopefully it'll be worth the weekly live watch!

Looking forward to this. Hope the FL is not portrayed as that real female biotech entrepreneur, E Holmes.

I'll protest against her too. If this type of industry takes off we'll end up eating kibble like our pets. It's a slippery slope starting with bugs and fake meat, and will destroy the farming industry. Bill Gates is buying up thousand of acres of farmland in the US which will never be farmed again. If anyone thinks this will have a good outcome for any of us, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you!

I totally love the cast and I totally un-love the premise ... Otthokhaji!? 🤷‍♀️
