It never fails to amaze me how some people can stoop so low just because some others aren’t exactly fans of their oppa’s acting.

    It seems to me it is made by one person with different names lol.

      Yeah, it’s obvious that the comment is made by the same person who hides behind different aliases. Not even brave enough to own up to their offensive comments.

        Agree with you.

        Just for discussion sake, do you think these comments are from beanies who resort to unregistered aliases so that they can post anonymously and repeatedly? Or are they lurkers who don’t comment on anything else except articles which feature their bias or their bias’ drama?

          It can be either way. However judging from the upvotes some of those comments received I won’t be surprised if the subsequent insulting comments are made by an existing user posting under different unregistered usernames just so their registered account won’t be tarnished by that kind of behaviour.

            Wow! That’s so extra!! It seems like so much effort for something that’s not that important in the grand scheme of life… I really don’t understand people who go out of their way to be mean on the Internet. It seems so cowardly and they come off as very sad people

            I really hope those people would be able to reflect upon what they’ve done here and see how fruitless and meaningless such attempts are. They neither can bully others into liking their favourite actors or persuade others to take their opinions seriously. You’re so spot on, they make themselves look like very sad people.

          I was raising my eyebrows AND saying my comments on HOW those fans,I dont even want to refer to them (?) as fans, are so ridiculous and over the top in reacting just because not everyone loved Oppa’s acting.

          That actor is my Ultimate Kdrama Bias but I am well aware that criticisms are part of his profession.I mean I myself criticize him on his acting & choice of dramas.

            I agree with you. I too believe that no actors are above criticism. There are always bound to be people who love an actor’s acting and those who don’t. I do hope LJK can get to work with a strong PD and writer next time. His last two sageuks have been disappointing in the writing and/ or directing department. Ironically he said the PD in Arang reigned down his acting but I actually enjoyed his performance a lot in that one.

          I’ve never seen such abusive language in DB, so my guess is she/he is not a regular DB commenter. Definitely no actors/actresses or drama are above criticism. People are free to say their thought. However, sometime I feel too much obsessive hate or paise toward a drama can activate these type of troll and abusive behavior.

            Thank you for voicing your perspective and I really appreciate that.

            Maybe I just happen to have very different opinions of what makes for hateful comments. For me hateful comments wander into the territory of personal insults and attack, which I won’t tolerate. I actually don’t consider negative criticism hateful, if those made with elaborate reasons and in a civil manner. Would I feel hurt if they criticise my favourite dramas? Yes, I would. It’s natural and understandable. Does that make the other person hateful? I don’t think so, even though I may strongly disagree with their opinions :P.

            I personally think that when there is a dominant voice, whether positive or negative, in a comment section, it means one side is more active than the other. Yes, it might be hurtful seeing the other side take over, but if one side remains silent because they think the other side has ‘won’, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy to me. I do believe that people have the power and opportunity to balance things out. It’s up to them to take, or drop that power.

            That’s why, even though my comments might be overly critical in some threads (CM, Ruler) or majorly positive in others (FoS), I never shut the other side down.

            Anyway, I’m glad for the interesting discussion. Looking forward to hearing more about your input in the CM thread. 😉

            Definitely personal insults and attack has no justification. My point is sometimes recap environment is too positive/negative toward a drama that makes the consecutive discussion challenging. I really like it more when people criticize a drama or any other artwork by mentioning both it’s strength and weakness… I personally LOVED FOS 💙, but I welcome any discussion that critisize the weaknes of drama (because no drama is purely perfect)

    I once said that Lee Min Ho acts as Go Jun Pyo for last seven years, someone opened two accounts, followed my account and called me retarded/imbecile/slut mom on every comments I made for last month (that was a lot).
    I admit, I was disgusted AND impressed with that much dedication (how should I call it? Unhealthy love of Oppa?).

      I’m sorry to hear about your experience. Did you report the comments? I do think that behaviour like that should be banned off Dramabeans (and anywhere where healthy debate and discussion is promoted).

      I often tell myself that in the end it is their time they waste with that much unhealthy obsession but I can’t say I wouldn’t feel the same as you do if that happened to me. I don’t even understand what has fed into their belief that everyone should feel the same about their oppa or there’s something wrong with those who don’t.

      I agree with you about Lee Min Ho 😜 Oooops!

      Got to also agree that it’s a very unhealthy obsession.

    I just read the comments and your reply. Thank you for speaking up.

    When I wrote my comments in that thread, I was well aware that I am speaking a minority voice. In any case, that person misinterpreted my statement but I didn’t think it’s worth my time to correct her.

      Good thing you didn’t. I don’t think it’s worth your time doing that too. It’s just that there are so many comments in that part which are borderline personal insults, bully, mockery and harassment I feel I need to speak up. I personally think that that kind of behaviour should be called out and dissuaded.

      I read your comment and that person clearly misinterpreted your statement and bluntly called you blind and deaf. I’m so sorry that it’s happening to you. I’m a fan of LJG and I’m ashamed that you were attacked by obsessive LJG fans. Everyone has their own taste, preference and bias, so everyone should be respectful to others.

        Thank you but no need to apologize on behalf. I know many soompiers who are LJG’s fans and I know they will never respond the way that person did. I’d actually expect them to put up a case and oppose my views if they feel a need to respond.

        You don’t need to feel ashamed for the behaviour of that person. You can still be a proud LJK fan because I’m sure we know that person is not representative of all LJK fans, and that same person is not representative of LJK himself. By choosing to do so they bring shame upon no one but themselves. As drama watchers I know our tastes differ in many ways and sometimes we do not agree with another’s person interpretation or assessment of certain actors or dramas at all, but I think we can just agree to disagree and move on. I often tell myself not to hold grudges against any other person (well, unless they resort to insulting which I’m totally against) because chances are they will like something that I like in the future, and I need allies and people to gush about the same thing together, so hating on them just because their taste does not align with mine in certain aspects only does myself no good first and foremost.

    I know this an old post but it’s relevant now. So wow this kind of thing happened before huh? I feel like I should not have responded after the first time but I don’t like insults so I couldn’t stop myself. Especially when someone thinks i believe something I said I didn’t. And then using that as an excuse for actual hate? Smh
