Back after a few mths hiatus to remind everyone ‘BE KIND’
Mental health is not a joke and saying a kind word to someone might just save their lives!

NGNL EP 5
This my friends is how to write a show with all the tropes, silly jokes and yet make it feel poignant and heartfelt.
SM and LSY are pitch perfect and while KYD still needs to work on his expressions he is pretty decent.
The work place is so refreshing and the friendships are genuine.
I love that the FL never finds the need to explain her emotions to anyone.
Looking at how the writing is so self aware I think the hidden chaebol trope might just be turned on its head here.

NGNL EP 4
So many hilarious and heartfelt moments
– Buddha Son Hae Yeong!
-LSY pretending to be an unemployed looser
-The background score when LSY (in his looser avatar) congratulates SM on winning the competition
-yeo biso enjoying popcorn while the boss is being scolded!
While SM was her usual brilliant self, this episode belonged to LSY- his face when he realized Yeo Biso’s friend is the writer 👏👏👏 so many expressions within a few seconds!!
I am so invested in the second leads story!
While the show is filled with Tropes, I am still excited to see what happens next- full credit to the writers and actors! Hoping the show does not go down the ‘hidden Chaebol’ road! Why can’t the ML just be a part timer or a convenience store owner.
PS where do we find a convenience store with such handsome part timers??
He’s so funny!! The Self-Aware Secretary archetype is doing VERY well in this show!! 😆👏
Lol about the Hidden Chaebol trope… as soon as someone stepped out of that SUV in front of Ji-uk I actually *gasped* and thought Why didn’t I make that connection sooner?? So kudos to the show for not “revealing” that until episode 4? 😂
By now, you should know the rule that Korean drama ML will never be a nobody convenience stall staff.
The only closest exception is Lee Min-Kim’s character in My Liberation Notes wherein as a convenience chain SOP person, he aspires to become a franchisee.
No gain no love, has my heart. What a lovely show, perfect blend of humour and heartfelt moments.
The vlog with her non existent boyfriend was so hilarious!
Also lee sang yi, definitely needs a ML role asap. He is awesome
#ShinMinaistheQUEEN!!!!
Shin Mi Na is so wholesome. How could she be so adorably cute and not cringey. She is just sparkling by herself. Well heck, she has chemistry with inanimate objects 😍
Absolutely true about Sang Yi!! That man had me rolling in laughter for straight 5 minutes. His expressions were priceless.
If I’m not wrong, the second leads of this show have their own show where they are the leads. I don’t know if it’s airing rn on Tving or will air after No gain No love finishes airing.
They are getting their own spinoff, where they’ll be the main leads and will have their own romance! It’s scheduled to air sometime in the second half of 2024.
Yes!! And you could see the difference. I don’t think anyone but Shin Min-ah could do this role justice. She even pulled off the rebellious college student flashback. And the wisdom she dropped on the judgmental teacher was 😘
Oh my, she was STUNNING in that outfit and hairdo… and as the FL, despite her bitterness towards her mom and family situation, she still defended her foster sister. ❤️
No gain no love, is kooky, funny and clever! Oh how I adore Shin Mina!!! She always nails her role.
Love that they show the ML’s as adults and not coy.The second lead and the secretary are so funny, like Tom and Jerry 🤣
Surprisingly I don’t hate KYD in this ( have never been a fan) hoping he manages to keep up with the awesomeness of SH!
On a side note, how does Shin Mina manage to look so amazing at 40???
Here to give a shout out to Good Partner,
Jung Nara rarely dissapoints and is killing it as the calculative yet practical Cha Eun Kyung. JN always manages to also elicit empathy, such a great actress!
While NJH\’s character is a little too earnest for my liking she is the perfect foil for the JN. Also both leads show growth as the show goes on.
The divorce cases are interesting and the cheating arc is being handled with grace.
The supporting actors are well cast.
Highly recommended.
Is 2024 the year of old school rom coms??
The year of couples who talk through the misunderstandings, year of zero wrist grabs, year of asking for consent?
Green flag men who are respectful and supportive?
Non toxic second leads? Friendships that support and uplift
Lovely Runner, My Sweet Mobster, Serendipity\’s Embrace, the ML of Marry my Husband Queen of Tears, Dr Slump all mostly wholesome and heart-warmiing.
What has bought about this change? For people with more insights on Korea, is there a shift in sensibilities of the younger generation or are the writers catering to the international kdrama fans?
Whatever it is, I am so in for the ride.
Looking forward to Love Next Door.
I wish I could digest Yoona a bit more, so I could sit through the airheadedness of the show. 5-8th episode are my favourites (that kiss is 💋 ❤️🔥) but after that I slogged to get my bean. But I do love your love for it and Junho 😍😍😍)
Post LR, MSM I am yet to find my next addictive show, so I went back to rewatching one of my favourites- Where the Weather is Fine.
This was such an underrated gem.
Like having warm cocoa on a cold night, it envelops you in the lives of the close knit community.
Seo kang joo and Park min you were so lovely and understated in their roles of flawed people and the cinematography had me enthralled.
On rewatch this still lived up to my feelings from when I first watched it😊 it truely was a healing drama!
I watched this drama a few months ago, when winter was giving way to spring.
I loved it so much that I included it in my Top Ten list.
This is exactly the kind of k-dramas I enjoy the most: an interesting setting and many flawed but lovable and believable characters. Good music and cinematography too. And a little bit of “magical realism”.
This was my second drama starred by Seo Kang Joo and my first Park Min You.
If you have not watched Racket Boys I think you could love it too (it has some vibes in common with When the weather is fine). I finished it some weeks ago and it’s a gem.
So I just found out Yoon Park and So Jin are the second couple in Cinderella at 2am.
Looks like I have to put aside my dislike of Shin Hyun Bin and watch this show just for the second leads!
MSM ended being a little show with a big heart. While the writing wasn’t amazing the actors were so lovely that I enjoyed my time watching it.
As a freshly minted fan of UTG, I think they did dirty with his pink tux and white shoes in the proposal scene! The man is so hot they could have just left him in one if those amazing V neck sweaters🤣
Awaiting Love Next Door now, please be good show!
I just started watching Red Swan and realised Jung Gyu Woo was the ML in the very first Kdrama I watched in 2010.
My obsession with Kdrama started with a random pic ( see below) I came across 10pm at night, which turned out to be a recap of Dr Champ on the dramabeans page.
Intrigued after reading some of the comments on the page, I found the show and binge watched it and that was the the beginning of my journey into the kdrama rabbithole🤣
By chance I watched a pair of episodes of Memories of Alhambra on Netflix, maybe in 2018 or 2019, I can’t remember when.
I really liked them but I don’t know why I didn’t watch the whole drama in that moment. Maybe I thought “I’ll watch it later”. It was so weird and funny at the same time…
So we have to jump in time until Squid Game. I watched that famous drama in November’21, soon after it was released. And then in January’22 I watched It’s okey to not be ok and that was when I fell into the rabbit hole. So after IOTNBO I watched Memories of Alhambra from start to finish and I have not stopped watching Asian dramas since then.
After many years (yes!) of not watching entertainment of any kind, I found myself on Netflix one night after a very stressful day, and the recommended drama was Crash Landing on You. I watched the preview, thought it looked interesting enough, and was too tired to scroll further so I clicked play. Four episodes later I was making myself turn off the TV and go to bed hahaha. I was instantly hooked on k-drama and the Korean language. Haven’t looked back. It’s been a wild ride and I’m so happy to have Beanies to share my experience with!
I rarely, if ever, watched TV or shows or dramas or movies, other than occasional big screen outings, for years. And the ones I did were mostly crime thrillers and mysteries. Then Covid happened, and I slowly returned to watching stuff (besides teaching myself video editing but I digress). Anyhow, my sister convinced me to watch Hwarang. While I found the show mediocre, I was bowled away by a) looks b) the easy humour and drama. I watched a few more of her rec (including some C and J dramas) and then finally Attorney Woo happened, and I was hooked. But I became addicted after I watched Our Blooming Youth (and my brain became familiar with the concept of a ‘fangirl’ LOL!).
Serendipity\’s Embrace- I quite enjoyed the first 2 episodes, I think the pacing was quick and story moved along fast.
This isn\’t a ground breaking show and might just be one for mindless watching.
Chae Jeong Hyoep has the most adorable smile!
Good thing about an 8 episode show is that they cannot afford to insert fillers.
Sometimes a good mindless watch is all the pick-me-up one needs.
A smiling face is always welcome. 😊❤
MSM 13 continues to be an easy watch, the pacing slowed down a lot this episode but it still has its heart in the right place!
Jae Su continues to be a scene stealer!
I am quite the scaredy cat and rarely watch horror/monster genre shows, Sweet Home 1 was one of the first few I sat through and really enjoyed.
Over the weekend I binge watched sweet home 2 &3 , my final outcome ⭐️⭐️⭐️
• Sweet home 1 had the most cohesive storyline and characters
• The reunion of Eun hyeok and Hyun Su was highlight of season 3. LDH never disappoints!
• Jin-young looks like an idol even when fighting monsters.
• Moo Yeol is HOT!
Unfortunately the storyline for S2&3 and the characters did not have the emotional pull that sweet home 1 had established.
I missed my favs from season 1 Park Gyu Young and Lee Si Young.
I love Sweet Home 1 to bits but too bad my favorite sword & guitar couple (Park Gyu-Yong and Kim Nam-hee) is gone, so is LDH’s character. Then I watched a few SH2 episodes but it lacks the charm and warmth of S1 – dropped by ep 3. Now that LDH is back, I’m struggling to continue it or not….
#rant!
I follow another blog where an article about BWS and the airport security drama has led to a fan war in the comments.
As I read the comments, I could not help thinking, being a celebrity in Korea must be crazy taxing on the celebrity \’s mental health.
If you are a star you basically cannot live a normal life (no dating, no talking, apologise for anything and everything)
I wonder if any other country has this kind of expectations off their celebrities?
It\’s scary to see how public opinion has changed in minutes for Woo seok for an issue that dosent even seem be his fault.
The actual issue at hand of fans crowding and airport and private security firms managing airport security seems to have been ignored.
I feel bad for these SK celebrities, pursuing your dream but being judged every second of your life!!
I had read about this. I think the issue was that the security person was flashing his phone light in the eyes of the fans.
Is there a problem now that he has apologized!?
Indeed being a celebrity in SK is scary. While he’s not a teenager but still this kind of public scrutiny can drive anyone nuts.
Yup, genuine issue of private security acting beyond its rights however its the blaming of the celebrity that is scary. Bring a health professional, I see the effect of social media on mental health all the time, so this kind of social scrutiny is just unhealthy!
Oh! I didn’t realize that BWS was being blamed. Since K-dramas give us so much comfort, sense of well-being and at times even healing it is even more sad that our beloved artists live such fraught lives.
Taemin had bad issues with that with SM there was basically no security and fans were literally groping him, putting things in his bag and just swarming it was creepy and upsetting. but with BPM he has 5 security guards and there are security lines in the airports so fans stay at a distance. Still it feels a bit like aquarium life from home to car to airport to stage to car to airport to home.
it is not such an issue here since we do not have world scale stars. You can hang with “celebrities in the hipster district no prob but nobody invades. however the opposite is true with many wannabe celebrities (influencers) being way less than modest and just pushing their private life details on everyone.
It infuriates me that S. korean artists have no privacy and fans seem to think they can control everything. all those psychoes need a therapist or a shrink it is a mental illness, it is not normal behavior.
From the 2 different entertainment industry circles that I follow— Korea and China— both have their own issues and problem which are extreme, but are also different:
In Korea, regardless of what it is— entertainment, politics, criminal cases, news, etc.— it is all REALLY heavily based on public opinion. So when it comes to the entertainment industry, which is an industry created and based in feedback of fans and fan support, said fans take huge no unhealthy advantages of that to tear people apart in all ways.
In China, the government has the last say. In the Chinese entertainment industry, a celebrity is seen and treated by the gover As another civil servant— a.k.a. A government employee— so everything about them is monitored and regulated by the government, right down to the colour of their hair and their bodily piercings and tattoos, so if comes a time any of those things are banned (as it previously was until about half a year ago), then it’ll somehow be filtered and edited out on television, even if it cannot be stopped when it comes to the personal time of the celeb. As for fan culture, it’s more so fan wars taking place and anti-fans that will tear one or another celebrity apart and bring them down (there was a huuuuge anti-fan campaign against this one Chinese actor in late-2019 that lasted 10 months and their celeb’s career was basically on hold), but less about the fans nitpicking at what a celebrity does or what their staff does unless it’s super disrespectful on a human level (there was a female celebrity who was caught on tape spitting gum into her staff’s hand like they were her person garbage can and another instance wherein she was treating them like they were her maids and had them take off her shoes for her when she had free hands 🙄 Entitlement issues)
Thank you for taking the time to write about this issue. This does clarify the relative level of public scrutiny. While worldwide being a celebrity is a “job” it does come with its own advantages and disadvantages. I just want that the artists get the respect and privacy they deserve but I wonder how many entertainment industries in the world can actually boast of such privilege.
Yea, I think sometimes some of the celebrities do perpetuate some things themselves, like how some celebrities—regardless of it’s Korean or China— don’t treat it as a job and act like a big shot on and off camera for attention and likes, etc. and treat their public figure status as a sort of entitlement and excuse to gain public sympathy, to gain exceptions to some things and even feel like they are above reproach for some things (like the law), and sadly, that then also encourages fans to do some extreme things on their end which brings harm to others, including the celebrity they claim to care for and love
Sasaeng culture is…. Yea 😔 Another can of worms
Sasaeng culture to the extreme— like mailing your menstrual blood contaminated sanitary pad to a celeb or somehow being able to evade security and then put poison into something that you know the celeb will consume is ahhhhh (all real life examples, btw, of things happening to celebs in K-Ent.)… In the case of extreme sasaeng behaviours like the 2 examples ^, I blame it all on the “fan” or anti-fan themselves, because no one is ever going to tell another person do to those things unless the both of those people have issues. Such extremes ^ happen because the fan or anti-fan themselves don’t know how to think, and not because of something someone else— like the celebrity— has or hasn’t done to encourage the extreme behaviour. The onus of how a person thinks, views, and sees another person—which then dictates their behaviours— is all the sole responsibility of the person themselves imho
On the other hand, if a celeb is obnoxious and is a horrible person to another, and is caught and seen by others and people react—albeit, unkindly— that can sometimes be the fault of the celeb, because they also need to know that their own actions have consequences and people will have opinions because a celeb is a public figure wherein what they do in front of open doors (i.e. in public, in front of fans and antis) is fair game— versus what they do behind closed doors—unless the celeb actively took measures to keep things private and their privacy was/is infringed upon. Some celebs don’t actively take measures— but fake doing so— because they believe that “bad press is still press” and will get their names trending, which is what the ultimate goal of some celebs are.
At the end of the day, privacy—or lack thereof— and what a celeb does and who those actions (and even the attitudes) reach and touch upon is a whole can of worms and a much more in-depth conversation than a simple “Did they deserve it? Did they not?” black versus white or debate or comment made online
Also I never understood the weird behavior of being an anti-fan or engaging in smear campaign against a competitor of their chosen artist. I’m the the artist themselves would never support such behavior, still these people get aot of traction.
I agree, even the celebs themselves would never agree to nor condone such behaviours, and I’m glad more and more celebs come out online to put a stop to it— some even proactively prevent it— in C-Ent., but K-Ent. definitely needs to do more. I’ve increasingly seen more comments that are now able to take a more subjective, positive— and sometimes, even joking— stance on things made by anti-fans against their bias’ wherein they will say, “Well, so-and-so celeb’s antis don’t seem to be much antis at all if they’re seemingly online 24/7 willing to make the effort to comment/critique, watch, and hate on the content and the person they claim to be an anti-fan of… In a way, they are actually generating more traffic and clicks and popularity for the content of the celeb they claim to be an anti of” 😏
Gosh I thought the extent of saseng behavior was when they entered Taecyeon’s hotel room but these examples have left me horrified. How can one be a fan if one is so disrespectful to the artist. 😫
I confess to having me low-key concerned about these issues earlier but as I’ve learned more I’m more and more scared by these vile behaviors and actions.
I’m sort of glad that I’ve been exposed to news about such sasaeng behaviours, because it’s definitely helped to shape the type of fan that I have become for celebs that I like/love and has shown be what and what not to do, how and how not to think, and how much or how little or how deep or not I want to—and should— delve into a celeb. It’s helped me to see these celebs as PEOPLE—just like you and I are— and that what they do as celebrities and in their fame is a JOB, nothing more and nothing less
@bebeswtz That is a very perceptive remark and I appreciate that. Indeed sometimes knowing that you *don’t* want to be helps you decide what you want to be.
Thanks for the insight bebe, health professional and am following this whole airport drama as with my professional lens on, this is my take- the video of his return post scandal, and he looks like a scared kid. The body language is opposite to the excited puppy he was in his previousl departure videos, gone were the waves, hearts etc.
No smile and constantly bowing.
This has definitely affected his mental health.
Could it be an act? Maybe but body language rarely lies!
I see why so many korean artists end up taking the wrong step!
It’s like having a magnifying glass on your every move!
Mental health is not a joke and I truly wish as fans we realize the effect we have on a celebrity who at the end of the day is a human being!
Be kind is all I can say to these fans, it’s not so hard😊
I adore Kim Hye Yoon. I have watched most of her films/series and she definitely is a talented actress. Loved her pic from the Singles magazine, she looks ethereal!!! She is growing into a beautiful beautiful woman❤️
I feel like a proud mama🤣
#sunshine
Ep 10 of #mysweetcheekbones had me smiling and kicking my legs with all the sweetness.
Flustered UTG has my heart.
Also loving the chaotic found family.
I am very invested in the the second leads arc and wish they had more screen time.
My favourite from ep 10, such a lol moment
Best chaotic family. I wonder if they ever listen to each other talking!? Also I loved, loved, loved the Deerlings caught between Mama and Papa Deer fighting.
I loved every time he had to say “it’s a pregnancy test, not a Covid test” it’s like he’s convinced everybody would mistake as a covid test like him so has to explain. 🤣🤣
I have raved a lot about UTG and he truely delived a nuanced and heartfelt potrayal of a man in conflict with his past in episode 8 however can we talk about Han Sunhwa, she is so lovely as Eun Ha, pitch perfect in playing someone who is sympathetic and emphathetic at the same time.
She understands Ji hwan’s conflict and I look forward to seeing her bring him out if his self made shell.
I really enjoyed her acting in Work later, drink now and she is killing it in this show too. Looking forward to her next role!
Also loved the deerlings and Eun ha being petty with the boss 😀
#mysweetcheekboneshasmyheart
I agree. These episodes were genuinely touching and poignant thanks both to the solid writing and the two actors letting us glimpse into the characters’ inner emotional worlds with only a scant amount of dialogue but a lot of subtle gestures and expressions.
While I love the main leads in #mysweetcheekbones, I also adore the second couple❤️
Would be great is we had more of them and less of prosecutor and the content creator girl
I think Kwon Yul is struggling to define his character. He is not villain, he is not love interest, not really a rival, so in the latest episode the little momentum he had was kinda lost, while the second couple is getting more intriguing & complex. they had connection and then one night stand which made them uncomfortable. they should talk honestly about what he meant by mistake, does he mean he didnt feel attracted at all or that it was just not how he wanted it to happen. if he doesnt want to be involved with her then how is he going to get out of the grip of parents without bringing their wrath on both.

While NJH\’s character is a little too earnest for my liking she is the perfect foil for the JN. Also both leads show growth as the show goes on.
The divorce cases are interesting and the cheating arc is being handled with grace.

Post LR, MSM I am yet to find my next addictive show, so I went back to rewatching one of my favourites- Where the Weather is Fine.
This was such an underrated gem.
Like having warm cocoa on a cold night, it envelops you in the lives of the close knit community.
Seo kang joo and Park min you were so lovely and understated in their roles of flawed people and the cinematography had me enthralled.
On rewatch this still lived up to my feelings from when I first watched it😊 it truely was a healing drama!

I watched this drama a few months ago, when winter was giving way to spring.
I loved it so much that I included it in my Top Ten list.
This is exactly the kind of k-dramas I enjoy the most: an interesting setting and many flawed but lovable and believable characters. Good music and cinematography too. And a little bit of “magical realism”.
This was my second drama starred by Seo Kang Joo and my first Park Min You.
If you have not watched Racket Boys I think you could love it too (it has some vibes in common with When the weather is fine). I finished it some weeks ago and it’s a gem.

I just started watching Red Swan and realised Jung Gyu Woo was the ML in the very first Kdrama I watched in 2010.
My obsession with Kdrama started with a random pic ( see below) I came across 10pm at night, which turned out to be a recap of Dr Champ on the dramabeans page.
Intrigued after reading some of the comments on the page, I found the show and binge watched it and that was the the beginning of my journey into the kdrama rabbithole🤣
How did you all start your kdrama journey?

By chance I watched a pair of episodes of Memories of Alhambra on Netflix, maybe in 2018 or 2019, I can’t remember when.
I really liked them but I don’t know why I didn’t watch the whole drama in that moment. Maybe I thought “I’ll watch it later”. It was so weird and funny at the same time…
So we have to jump in time until Squid Game. I watched that famous drama in November’21, soon after it was released. And then in January’22 I watched It’s okey to not be ok and that was when I fell into the rabbit hole. So after IOTNBO I watched Memories of Alhambra from start to finish and I have not stopped watching Asian dramas since then.

After many years (yes!) of not watching entertainment of any kind, I found myself on Netflix one night after a very stressful day, and the recommended drama was Crash Landing on You. I watched the preview, thought it looked interesting enough, and was too tired to scroll further so I clicked play. Four episodes later I was making myself turn off the TV and go to bed hahaha. I was instantly hooked on k-drama and the Korean language. Haven’t looked back. It’s been a wild ride and I’m so happy to have Beanies to share my experience with!

I rarely, if ever, watched TV or shows or dramas or movies, other than occasional big screen outings, for years. And the ones I did were mostly crime thrillers and mysteries. Then Covid happened, and I slowly returned to watching stuff (besides teaching myself video editing but I digress). Anyhow, my sister convinced me to watch Hwarang. While I found the show mediocre, I was bowled away by a) looks b) the easy humour and drama. I watched a few more of her rec (including some C and J dramas) and then finally Attorney Woo happened, and I was hooked. But I became addicted after I watched Our Blooming Youth (and my brain became familiar with the concept of a ‘fangirl’ LOL!).

I am quite the scaredy cat and rarely watch horror/monster genre shows, Sweet Home 1 was one of the first few I sat through and really enjoyed.
Over the weekend I binge watched sweet home 2 &3 , my final outcome ⭐️⭐️⭐️
• Sweet home 1 had the most cohesive storyline and characters
• The reunion of Eun hyeok and Hyun Su was highlight of season 3. LDH never disappoints!
• Jin-young looks like an idol even when fighting monsters.
• Moo Yeol is HOT!
Unfortunately the storyline for S2&3 and the characters did not have the emotional pull that sweet home 1 had established.
I missed my favs from season 1 Park Gyu Young and Lee Si Young.

I follow another blog where an article about BWS and the airport security drama has led to a fan war in the comments.
As I read the comments, I could not help thinking, being a celebrity in Korea must be crazy taxing on the celebrity \’s mental health.
If you are a star you basically cannot live a normal life (no dating, no talking, apologise for anything and everything)
I wonder if any other country has this kind of expectations off their celebrities?
It\’s scary to see how public opinion has changed in minutes for Woo seok for an issue that dosent even seem be his fault.
The actual issue at hand of fans crowding and airport and private security firms managing airport security seems to have been ignored.
I feel bad for these SK celebrities, pursuing your dream but being judged every second of your life!!
🌸 Seeker 🌸
July 15, 2024 at 9:53 PM
I had read about this. I think the issue was that the security person was flashing his phone light in the eyes of the fans.
Is there a problem now that he has apologized!?
Indeed being a celebrity in SK is scary. While he’s not a teenager but still this kind of public scrutiny can drive anyone nuts.
dramaDee
July 15, 2024 at 9:59 PM
Yup, genuine issue of private security acting beyond its rights however its the blaming of the celebrity that is scary. Bring a health professional, I see the effect of social media on mental health all the time, so this kind of social scrutiny is just unhealthy!

July 15, 2024 at 10:05 PM
Oh! I didn’t realize that BWS was being blamed. Since K-dramas give us so much comfort, sense of well-being and at times even healing it is even more sad that our beloved artists live such fraught lives.
Kurama
July 16, 2024 at 2:50 AM
I think the issue was the security person was flashing people who weren’t fan but just here to use the space too.
But overall, it was on him and not BWS.
redfox
July 16, 2024 at 2:50 AM
Taemin had bad issues with that with SM there was basically no security and fans were literally groping him, putting things in his bag and just swarming it was creepy and upsetting. but with BPM he has 5 security guards and there are security lines in the airports so fans stay at a distance. Still it feels a bit like aquarium life from home to car to airport to stage to car to airport to home.
it is not such an issue here since we do not have world scale stars. You can hang with “celebrities in the hipster district no prob but nobody invades. however the opposite is true with many wannabe celebrities (influencers) being way less than modest and just pushing their private life details on everyone.
It infuriates me that S. korean artists have no privacy and fans seem to think they can control everything. all those psychoes need a therapist or a shrink it is a mental illness, it is not normal behavior.

From the 2 different entertainment industry circles that I follow— Korea and China— both have their own issues and problem which are extreme, but are also different:
In Korea, regardless of what it is— entertainment, politics, criminal cases, news, etc.— it is all REALLY heavily based on public opinion. So when it comes to the entertainment industry, which is an industry created and based in feedback of fans and fan support, said fans take huge no unhealthy advantages of that to tear people apart in all ways.
In China, the government has the last say. In the Chinese entertainment industry, a celebrity is seen and treated by the gover As another civil servant— a.k.a. A government employee— so everything about them is monitored and regulated by the government, right down to the colour of their hair and their bodily piercings and tattoos, so if comes a time any of those things are banned (as it previously was until about half a year ago), then it’ll somehow be filtered and edited out on television, even if it cannot be stopped when it comes to the personal time of the celeb. As for fan culture, it’s more so fan wars taking place and anti-fans that will tear one or another celebrity apart and bring them down (there was a huuuuge anti-fan campaign against this one Chinese actor in late-2019 that lasted 10 months and their celeb’s career was basically on hold), but less about the fans nitpicking at what a celebrity does or what their staff does unless it’s super disrespectful on a human level (there was a female celebrity who was caught on tape spitting gum into her staff’s hand like they were her person garbage can and another instance wherein she was treating them like they were her maids and had them take off her shoes for her when she had free hands 🙄 Entitlement issues)

Thank you for taking the time to write about this issue. This does clarify the relative level of public scrutiny. While worldwide being a celebrity is a “job” it does come with its own advantages and disadvantages. I just want that the artists get the respect and privacy they deserve but I wonder how many entertainment industries in the world can actually boast of such privilege.
Nessa (Bebe) 🌹
July 16, 2024 at 11:53 AM
Yea, I think sometimes some of the celebrities do perpetuate some things themselves, like how some celebrities—regardless of it’s Korean or China— don’t treat it as a job and act like a big shot on and off camera for attention and likes, etc. and treat their public figure status as a sort of entitlement and excuse to gain public sympathy, to gain exceptions to some things and even feel like they are above reproach for some things (like the law), and sadly, that then also encourages fans to do some extreme things on their end which brings harm to others, including the celebrity they claim to care for and love

I used to think the sasaeng culture is problematic but as you rightly pointed out at times the celebrity themselves act too big for their boots.
Nessa (Bebe) 🌹
July 16, 2024 at 12:26 PM
Sasaeng culture is…. Yea 😔 Another can of worms
Sasaeng culture to the extreme— like mailing your menstrual blood contaminated sanitary pad to a celeb or somehow being able to evade security and then put poison into something that you know the celeb will consume is ahhhhh (all real life examples, btw, of things happening to celebs in K-Ent.)… In the case of extreme sasaeng behaviours like the 2 examples ^, I blame it all on the “fan” or anti-fan themselves, because no one is ever going to tell another person do to those things unless the both of those people have issues. Such extremes ^ happen because the fan or anti-fan themselves don’t know how to think, and not because of something someone else— like the celebrity— has or hasn’t done to encourage the extreme behaviour. The onus of how a person thinks, views, and sees another person—which then dictates their behaviours— is all the sole responsibility of the person themselves imho
On the other hand, if a celeb is obnoxious and is a horrible person to another, and is caught and seen by others and people react—albeit, unkindly— that can sometimes be the fault of the celeb, because they also need to know that their own actions have consequences and people will have opinions because a celeb is a public figure wherein what they do in front of open doors (i.e. in public, in front of fans and antis) is fair game— versus what they do behind closed doors—unless the celeb actively took measures to keep things private and their privacy was/is infringed upon. Some celebs don’t actively take measures— but fake doing so— because they believe that “bad press is still press” and will get their names trending, which is what the ultimate goal of some celebs are.
At the end of the day, privacy—or lack thereof— and what a celeb does and who those actions (and even the attitudes) reach and touch upon is a whole can of worms and a much more in-depth conversation than a simple “Did they deserve it? Did they not?” black versus white or debate or comment made online

I agree, even the celebs themselves would never agree to nor condone such behaviours, and I’m glad more and more celebs come out online to put a stop to it— some even proactively prevent it— in C-Ent., but K-Ent. definitely needs to do more. I’ve increasingly seen more comments that are now able to take a more subjective, positive— and sometimes, even joking— stance on things made by anti-fans against their bias’ wherein they will say, “Well, so-and-so celeb’s antis don’t seem to be much antis at all if they’re seemingly online 24/7 willing to make the effort to comment/critique, watch, and hate on the content and the person they claim to be an anti-fan of… In a way, they are actually generating more traffic and clicks and popularity for the content of the celeb they claim to be an anti of” 😏

I’m sort of glad that I’ve been exposed to news about such sasaeng behaviours, because it’s definitely helped to shape the type of fan that I have become for celebs that I like/love and has shown be what and what not to do, how and how not to think, and how much or how little or how deep or not I want to—and should— delve into a celeb. It’s helped me to see these celebs as PEOPLE—just like you and I are— and that what they do as celebrities and in their fame is a JOB, nothing more and nothing less

Thanks for the insight bebe, health professional and am following this whole airport drama as with my professional lens on, this is my take- the video of his return post scandal, and he looks like a scared kid. The body language is opposite to the excited puppy he was in his previousl departure videos, gone were the waves, hearts etc.
No smile and constantly bowing.
This has definitely affected his mental health.
Could it be an act? Maybe but body language rarely lies!
I see why so many korean artists end up taking the wrong step!
It’s like having a magnifying glass on your every move!
Mental health is not a joke and I truly wish as fans we realize the effect we have on a celebrity who at the end of the day is a human being!

I think Kwon Yul is struggling to define his character. He is not villain, he is not love interest, not really a rival, so in the latest episode the little momentum he had was kinda lost, while the second couple is getting more intriguing & complex. they had connection and then one night stand which made them uncomfortable. they should talk honestly about what he meant by mistake, does he mean he didnt feel attracted at all or that it was just not how he wanted it to happen. if he doesnt want to be involved with her then how is he going to get out of the grip of parents without bringing their wrath on both.
