Fair warning for those watching the Chihong vid not to look at the comments because one of the replies involves a graphic description of his death from an obvious troll :<
Taking a hammer and fixing the canon on Ao3 wasn’t enough :’) It’s almost unfair because I wrote 25 fics for the Hosplay fandom, mostly about Chihong and his adventures in Yulje, then they were like “character assassination” and essentially removed him
Mutters something about Changjoon definitely able to guess the passcode to Yeonjae’s house and watched her brood from a distance because he didn’t know how to approach
In an ideal situation Yeonjae kicks the door down to her stepbrother’s house and finds Changjoon in a coma there, then rescues him so that she would then have a supporter and is no longer alone
I’d say some of us were pretty vocal about the racism in a recently completed drama. The first and last episode recaps will confirm this (it came up on the wall and in other places too), so will a visit to a podcast and blog linked in the last episode recaps. Is there a currently airing drams that’s an issue?
Yeah, I was referencing that Recently Completed Drama because tabbing in I hadn’t seen people discuss it in anything other than a benign way, which is slightly confusing (and also bizarre that DB chose to cover it to the end when all the problematic elements emerged as early as episode 2) but that’s just my take seeing people complain about other romcoms and then say a whole lot of nothing about that one
I saw lot of people had a disgusted reaction to e1 and e2, which is why i didnt bother to watch it.
If you’re interested, Saya and the Dramas over Flowers team wrote a few pieces on diversity and representation in Kdrama. I can’t seem to tag, so I’ll (try to) link Saya’s fanwall instead which has the links and some great posts.
I read it when I tabbed into Episode 1 expecting DB to have an official statement about the matter. I don’t really see it as something that can be chalked up to “whoo diversity”, but I do appreciate some of her points about perhaps having some moderators on a robust site like this being helpful for discussion
im not sure what you mean with “chalked up to whoo diversity” but English is not my first language, so i might be failing here. either way, i do wish DB had taken a stronger stance on this.
I spoke up about it a lot on MDL and almost got threatened there for it. People complained here especially at the start but a lot of people gave up on saying anything more on the recaps after the first few episodes and frankly I can’t blame them.
I laughed so much watching this scene.
Shimok face when he was forcing himself to swallow that thing. And his boss dared to ask if he has been eating well!
The writer just want to tease us.
That’s what I kept telling myself. It was all weird and funny because we all know the poor man only eats once a day, and that’s when they let him, because he usually starves… and instead of letting him eat some normal food, he’s taken to a delicacy restaurant where he clearly doesn’t like anything he’s eating. I mean, his face is totally expressionless, but you could feel his dislike.
Please, please, let the man eat a proper meal!!!
