>>218057258yes
cute monke
>>218057428her feet are criminally underrated
>>218055922Tell me about Sarah. Why does she make the art?
Why did they change her name from Shin Hye Sun to Shin Hae Sun?
Really disturbing.
>>218057647Our Universe sounded good but then I saw it has a love triangle tag. Dropped!
>>218057676Really? PIcked up! It's so boring if the main guy just wins without competition.
Bloody Flower is slowly winning kdg doty
>>218057575kek
>>218057766>competitionIs love really a competition? I though in parts of the world at least we moved past a fight between men and winner gets the girl.
>>218058278Some people love that cuckery even though it's mysoginist as you say.
We need more long legged kdrama actresses

>>218058989Did they have sex?
>>218059052many times
>>218059078Added to my list. They have a fiery chemistry. I just hope there's no cucking!
>>218058989Eric Mun, the ML, fucks in every kdrama he stars. In Que Sera Sera he fucks one and lurks around the FL and literally attempts to rape her. She gets away from under him crying and he catches her in the street so she kisses him.
>>218059289>In Que Sera Sera he fucks one and lurks around the FL and literally attempts to rape her. She gets away from under him crying and he catches her in the street so she kisses him.Wtf
>>218059316Some of the craziest shit I've seen in kdrama. He gets into her bedroom, forces her down and fumbling with his pants. Shes crying and fighting and slips away so he chases her. She goes from sexual assault to tongue down his throat in the middle of a street in 60 seconds
>>218059412What episode is that in? Asking for a friend.
>>218059289>>218059412hot. added to my list

>>218059569Pure sex
>>218059563>She doesn't self insert as the female lead
>>218059563You may consider it insincerity, manipulation, cheating or cucking but women consider it diverse options, freedom of choice or simply variety.
Is he going to prison?
>>218057766Our Universe is actually really cute!
>>218060275Love triangles can never be cute.
>>218059569>>218058989my mister bros... were we fooled all along?

>>218061625Stop including this.
>>218060663i mean this looks stupid... was that unnie screenwriter a hack all along?
>>218062553It’s a romcom. The story is much better than most romcoms nowadays.

>>218057612Her signature reads Hae-sun so that might've always been how she romanizes her name, not sure. Or she changed it recently for whatever reason (style points, may be easier for foreigners to pronounce, etc). Her korean name hasn't changed
>>218055922Kdramas are so bad. How can we help them be good?

not a blogging faggot, but if there's one thing that could link that pic and pby schizo, it's the look of utter contempt they both seem to have for the world and all human beings that aren't them
>>218066671>>218066745Qrd?
>>218066791the gay manlet known as ntl thinks he found the picture of the pby schizo, but he never explained how he came to this conclusion so we're just left to think he's descending further into terminal madness
>>218066822kek
Made in Korea or Bloody Flower?
>>218066838Made in Korea for the coolest ML ever, who did nothing wrong.
I gave Art of Disappointment a thumbs down
>>218066838Haven't seen Bloody Flower but Made in Korea is solid
>>218066962According to Korean rules you are right he can do no wrong. American backed dictators are as bad as Soviet backed dictators. No difference in Korean government thugs, north or south.
>>218055922Downloaded Art of Sarah today and just finished watching I Kill U.Was alright, actionslop.
>>218056714
Finished The Art of Sarah. It was just ok. I really like this kind of story structure, but the execution of it here isn't great and the writing isn't super convincing. Wish the twists had better impact. Kinda felt like the writer(s) thought they were being more clever than they actually were. Still the pacing was nice and Shin Hye-sun was good. I'd probably place this a bit above The Frog (for wasting less of my time) but solidly below Karma.
>>218067835she looks so different than usual there
art of sarah is a fake thrillerit's not realistic
>>218067835>the writer(s) thought they were being more clever than they actually wereMy thought exactly. Well put
>>218067946most thrillers aren't realistic. most dramas aren't realistic
>>218067835Shin Hye Sun is criminally underrated. Kdg hates her now because of this new drama.
>>218067946also: fake ending
>>218068004Far from hating her. I think her talent was wasted.
>>218067987good thrillers are realistic like made in koreawe don't want fake thrillers here
>>218068170Is Karma a realistic thriller?
>>218067946Actually it is a Korean cop show. Korean cop is more concerned with his and his bosses career so he picks a perp, searches for a crime and then forces a confession with no evidence. He got a big promotion for his trouble. The end.
Who will be the next kpop idol to break through and succeed in acting?
>>218068381I dunno, but I'm annoyed Nana hasn't had a lead role since 2023 and doesn't have any coming up. Wtf? She's hot and talented.
>>218068214I believe so. The law of karma does not necessarily mean there is a straight line between a cause and effect. In real life that is true. For me it was refreshing to watch serendipity at work in a Korean drama.
>>218068421I think the girl flew too close to the sun and got burned out and lost her shit. Hope I'm wrong.However, several great actresses are taking roles in new dramas now that fail to showcase their talent. So maybe she's wise to wait for something good. Look at Ms Incognito and Dynamite Kiss. While those actresses aren't stunningly beautiful like Nana, they are great actresses and the dramas failed them.
>>218068421I mean she got too many horrible tattoos, thankfully she removed them a few months ago i think? So maybe they'll call her again in the future
>>218068597she had tattoos? why? her body is 10/10. why ruin it? what a retard!!!
>>218068421She's 3rd billed in both Climax and The Scandal, which is pretty good considering the rest of the casts. Sometimes taking these kinds of roles is more beneficial than having a lead role in a smaller production
>>218068597>>218068634Imagine if Kwon Nara got tattoos.
>>218068381https://news.mydramalist.com/article/the-king-s-warden-and-humint-rise-as-box-office-hits
>>218068645Wookie is criminally underrated by kdg.
>>218068684kdg doesn't respect him because he's a momma's boy who still lives with his mom
>>218068655Kwan Nara and Nana, there is no comparison. Nana is a far more beautiful woman.
>>218068777No its because hes a cardboard cutout not an actor
>still can't make the thread rightit's not difficult insincere thread
>>218068863his chemistry with the moist ahjumma in K2 was electric
>>218068836Nana definitely has a more fascinating face for sure. Bot body wise I'm not sure..
>>218066838Made in Korea is good. Started Bloody Flower and so far holding up well. Different vibe from Made in Korea. Bloody Flower, the FL was also in Iron Family, a totally different type role. She is tall, thin, cute and has big tiddies, I remember that.
>>218068928She did all the work. Watch it again. That actress could give a cardboard cut out a hard on.
>>218066838>>218068946They should have added romance to those thrillers.
Which way, white woman?
>>218068940Kwan Naras legs aren't a nice as Nanas either
>>218068998You can have sexual tension without a romance that can suck the oxygen out of a room. Low Life had a little but didn't over do it. Made in Korea the curly headed female prosecutor is a welcome diversion. Bloody Flower I can't imagine a romance would add anything but it is frustrating the FL always wears baggy ass clothes that cover her up.
For me it's Nara's gap.
>>218069139
Just started Made in Korea ep1. Shit the hijack did happen in real life
>>218069007Yeah fine is the world I would use. She has great features and I can analyze them objectively. With kwon nara is the neuron activation monke picture.
>>218069139ok I'll give you that appreciable gap
I didn't like how the laughing prosecutor targeted Baek Kitae's siblings
>>218069326>Baek KitaeWent after the prosecutors sister and ready to torture her or have you forgotten.Baek Kitae's sister is the business manager for the meth production. Shes a criminal. The prosecutor knows Baek Kitaes younger brother is a decent man with a sense of duty and is upright. The only one of the siblings that is so he tries to drive a wedge between them. Baek Kitae is a murderous thug. He'd put a bullet in anyone.
>>218069005I'm not white but for me its bottom left
>>218069538He wouldn't put a bullet in his siblings.
>when a character in a drama says something that happened is like something in a drama
>>218069705We'll see. He got a sniff of real power and no conscience or empathy but if he really cared for his sister she wouldn't be in the meth business.
>>218069326I was surprised Baek Ki-tae's sister didn't fold in the last ep, didn't expect her to have the kind of backbone. >>218069538The situation with the bullied soldier makes me think the younger brother isn't as upright as he appears. It was somewhat unclear but it seemed like he lied about trying to get him transferred
>>218069962I wasn't surprised she didn't throw Kitae under the white truck. She seemed to really respect her oppa and defer to him without any hint of resentment or reluctance.
>>218068915We don't need this chart anymore.
>>218070430We need it forever
>>218070016I was mostly surprised with how composed she was, since I mistook her deference to him as a sign of spinelessness. Giving it a second thought, your take makes more sense
Which is his best show?
>>218070584The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
>>218070563Perhaps all that changes when she finds out what happened to the father of her child
>>218070814She'll be based and stay loyal!
>>218055922It was ok, might be 5-6/10I don't get it why thirdworlder dbzspicniggers who only consoom 2-3/10 anime hate it

The Alan Delon of kdrama
>>218071783Definitely not for me, easy pass. With a premise like that I'm surprised it's not a webnovel adaptation
>>218071802HAHAHA
>>218056921We don't like S2s unnie. Also the ending was perfect
>>218057647>Not even fat pojeetas like romslop anymoregrim
>>218060093What happened?
Made in Korea soundtrack is really good
>>218073285tax fraud
>>218068381Par Ju Hyun is going to define this decade
>>218073287I thought so too. In terms of music and art direction, it felt very inspired
>>218071275>I don't get it whyprobably because it's another 'when the phone rings' utter disaster
>>218073785Outside of 1 (or more idk) shared filming location, I really don't get the comparison. Neither are particularly grounded but that's nothing unique
>Par Ju Hyun is going to define this decade

What's the worst attempt of a ML/FL romance you've ever seen in a K-drama? For me it's "Behind your touch". The FL was in love with the SML right until episode 14 where he's murdered by the series villain. There were just a few "fluffy" moments between the leads up to that point, but we're always pushed to the side because the SML would show up and the FL would go all goo-goo-ga-ga over him and forget the ML even existed. If he's wasn't murdered, she would have 100% ended up with him. The most ridiculous part? They tried to foolishly salvage the ML/FL romance by having the FL out of nowhere in the last episode all of a sudden go all crazy in love with the ML. It was so ridiculous and jarring. The writer spent the 15/16 episodes making the ML look like an incompetent police officer, had the SML steal his love interest and also have the SML outsmart him on a constant basis by figuring out who the serial killer was before he even had a clue. The ML actor must've pissed off the writing team somehow. I've never seen a ML be humiliated like he was. Only thing that comes close is the "Bring it on ghost" ML. Who was also humiliated at every turn.
>>218074021they are both pajeet-adjacent, sorry not sorry
>>218074021Thrillers should be realistic.
>>218075307ok, now call it reddit.
>>218071783She can't act for shit. Still love her though
>>218073785stfu pedro
>>218076047>pedrowait, that's neither a SEA or Indian name... are we finally entering the latino phase?what do you have against latinx, you little faggot?
>wait, that's neither a SEA or Indian name... are we finally entering the latino phase?>what do you have against latinx, you little faggot?
>>218075264Not the absolute worst but Masters Sun qualifies. Out of necessity the FL stuck to the ML (so she didn't see ghost all the time) and ostensibly liked him because she finally had a life. But she was with the SML nearly the whole show. Confided in him, did bf/gf shit and nearly ran off with the guy. The ML became a side show until the last episode and they awkwardly stuck them together. It was so apparent the connection between the FL and SML when Netflix recently added it the promo displays only the SML.
>>2180717834 men 1 woman in the promo. No thanks
>>218067835It was great until the last two episodes which felt rushed and didn't make a lot of sense. It's like they retconned all her actions from being genius level of clever and planned to being nothing but accidents.
new melty just dropped
Unnies, has anyone watched Glitch? is it worth?
any kdramas with hot sex scenes
>>218076317Nope. Their TV broadcasting regulations are extremely strict by western standards, no nudity, no sex. The only one that immediately comes to mind is The Glory, because that was a Netflix production rather than a licensed series.
>>218076285yes, solid 7/10.
>>218076218Maybe they used him for the promo display because everyone loves the gook
>>218076285Yes it's criminally underrated
>>218076203Based
why is this schizo bullying everyone?
>>218076937trying to understand the mind of the mentally insane is not a constructive use of anyone's time.
>>218073785When the Phones Rings was doty though
>>218076603Yes and I also think during the airing of Masters Sun, fan support for him prompted a larger role than a secondary lead character. The ML actor was popular yet the fangirls love gook. His role was expanded, and consequently the relationship between he and the FL, that it eclipsed that of the FL and ML. Late in the drama you wonder where is the ML and when he and the FL in a room together it was odd. When the drama nearly over they are stuck together after an emotional separation, like a break up, between the FL and gook. I get why Netflix, the producers, writers and director, prefer to capitalize on gooks popularity to promote Masters Sun I just think they missed the mark.
>>218076218The promo stuff is because that shovel faced fucking mong is more known than the grey alien faced ML. But I don't doubt that that's how they wrote the story. But buddy nobody is beating the ML from "Behind your touch". He gets half an episode of the FL actually liking him and it doesn't hit because it comes out of nowhere and nonsensically. The third last episode she's cutting wood with the SML and their hands touch and she gets visibly wet. The ML fluffs the case and the only reason he gets the FL in the end is because they had to kill of the SML. At least in "Masters Sun" they gave a few episodes to the leads. Half an episode dude. It doesn't compare. And "Bring it on ghost" has the FL flirting and liking the bad guy after she wakes from her coma and forgetting about the ML (who she spent half the show with), the ML never gets his moment to defeat the SML/villain because a fat balding middle aged monk steals his moment, the ML gets beaten to a pulp by the SML/villain in front of the girl he likes and she also goes to a group date (lying to the ML on the phone and bailing on a date with him to do so) and when she's caught in the act and confronted she lies to him and says she told all the guys there she had a boyfriend. That was in the last 30 minutes of the show btw. "Master's sun" wouldn't even make my top 5.
I love our tall milf monke but even for her i shan't watch another hack sister show, just saying
>>218077070They should have just had the gook and the monke get together. They had much better chemistry anyway.
>>218077173In Bring It On Ghost they also never had it explained to the FL's mom how much the ML helped her. Instead she kept thinking he was a creepy weirdo.
>>218077226Yep, also that as well. Taecyeon must've turned down the old cat lady writers advances.
>>218077200it's crazy how much prettier she was in that compared to when the stars gossip
Also the "Flower boy ramen shop" ML who had to compete against a SML who was IRL fucking the FL actress and you can see he definitely influenced the script. The ML has to kidnap her from her date with SML just before she was about to passionately kiss the SML. Then when the ML had one of the only few times alone with the FL the SML comes in and beats him up in front of her and she doesn't say or do shit about it. Even up to the last few episodes the SML was sleeping in between them so they wouldn't get close. Unprofessional shit in my opinion. That lanky fucker should've been blackballed from the industry. He was also annoying in "Just between lovers" as well.
>she doesn't look as good in her mid 40s as she did in her early 30sso crazy
>>218077386he said the same thing about PSH a few days ago, cleverly noticing she looks older now than 20 years agowe really have the dumbest posters...
Her peak was "Where the Camellias bloom". Cute, pretty and sexy. And even though she's a bit retarded in it, I like her character for growing a spine because of the ML's encouragement.
I still haven't finished When The Stars Gossip. Got stuck on episode 14 iirc.
It's still crazy to me that one of the biggest spammer schizekias of the thread is simping for a woman that's legitimately mid at best.
>Everyone has to have the same taste as meGrow up you fucking imbecile
>>218077386>>218077469Commonality between Hyon Jin and Shin Hye is that they didn't boggmaxxx.This kdg zoomie only tolerate mature women if they look like grotesque plastic muppets.
>>218077200I thought the same and I'm no fan of gook. Gooks character was fully fleshed out just like a ML so why have two ML's. It was clear the FL preferred him, personally and the character. ML felt forced and out of place like she was doing something wrong behind gooks back.Another odd kdrama is Kill Me Heal Me. ML a guy with split personality disorder but the FL was way more attracted to the badboy personality. So much so you wonder if she is going to support the survival of badboy and let the host ML disappear. There was also a nonbiobrother incest vibe SML that was odd and she cries when she has to reject him ultimately. When you see her with badboy personality, and their sexually charged relationship, its almost like hes her man.
>>218077478Couldn't tell you because I dropped it during the first ep, due to too much yelling and over acting from the supporting cast... just like Tangerines when I think about it. Don't know what's wrong with that unnie screenwriter.
>>218077549Fuck yeah I forgot about "Kill me, heal me". That shit also irked me. I like the ML actor but the bad boy personality was pure cringe. And it didn't help with Mr Permanent constipation face as the creepy SML. He even kidnaps her and locks her in a room to keep her apart from the ML. Crazy shit.
The only good kdrama is My Mister and the worst parts of that show are the kdrama trappings it falls into being associated with the genre. Everything else is irredeemable trash and you people are bizarre. You should have your own board it's that bad. You gook posters are like furries to me. The worst thing is you people seem to enjoy being annoying and unliked wherever you go, but we both know that's copeMy Mister is one of my favorite tv shows to be fair. It's just a shame that people dont know of it because they rightfully aren't familiar with kdramas
>>218077614Yeah I couldn't stand them either. Obnoxious shit. And the ML's mother was a pain in the ass as well.
>>218077173I avoided Bring it on Ghost. I did watch Behind your touch and thought the show clever but can't remember if I threw anything at the screen over cuckery. I will accept your thoughts however since I detest cuckery in any of its forms.Another shit cuckery show is Jinxed at First. FL flees her semi prison home and hooks up with ML she seems to love and accepts his proposal and ring. Then she disappears and goes back home to be with her nonbiobrother. She dresses to please him and acts to please him and in one of the most brutal rejections ever gives the ML back the ring to please as the nonbiobrother watches. Kick in the balls is she does end up back with the ML I think the last episode but she doesn't have any recollection of who the fuck he is and never will.
>>218076218Whoops, I just realized I read your post wrong. You were saying "Not the absolute worst" about "Master's sun" not the show I was talking about. My bad dude.
>>218077478I did like that show and her but that ML screams in every goddamn show hes in. He screamed in Tastefully Yours recently too.
>>218077701>Jinxed at FirstI was going to watch it for Seohyun after seeing her for the first time in First Night With The Duke, but someone else mentioned the infuriating amnesia shit.Does she have any decent romance dramas?
>>218077701Oh fuck me, yes! I watched that piece of trash as well. Yes, completely screwed the show. I remember watching it on Viki and people in the live comments were losing their shit lol. Gave me "A town where you live" vibes. I think I phased it out of my memory for being utter shit. Same ML from "Motel California" right?
>>218077767Isn't Motel California also cucked?
>>218077767Same ML. Fuck he is the king of simps in Motel California. Another one FL fucks him when hes fat and leaves for Seoul to find herself and Seoul dick and put out she has to return to deal with a simp that still loves her.
>>218077749>Does she have any decent romance dramas?Song of the Bandits
>>218077814Hell yeah it is. It has that Come to you when the weather is fine vibe. Hell the FL, Lee Se-young, even looks similar to Park Min-young.
>>218077701Yeah the FL in "Behind your touch" was head over heels for the SML 14/16 episodes dude. Episode 15 was spent mostly with her hating the ML for getting him killed and her lying depressed and crying in bed. It's only the start of the last episode where she works with the ML to catch the bad guy and with like 15-20 minutes left they do a time skip and the ML is back in Seoul, she's there on business and sees the police headquarters and starts spazzing out about stopping the car. She then dolls herself up awkwardly and runs to meet him at his work. It's complete nonsense. The mystery, the psychic stuff and the leads working together as a team were all good parts of the show but it was a complete flop on the romance part.

There are 0 reasons to make a 16-episode drama in 2026. I willl refuse to watch anything over 12

doty confirmed
>>218078794But kdg dropped go young jung after her jap cuckery bait and switch.
put your name on
>>218057575Lot of loyalty for a hired actress
>>218079052She's the best actress in kdrama.
If romance then no watchWho wants to see their crush getting fucked by all these male characters? That's why the best shows are about friendship and not this cucked fantasy
>>218078837I thought her performance in Translated the only highlight. No fault of hers her character had romantic dates in 4 countries with her ideal man, whom she enticed with a sensual kiss but forced into a relationship with a translator by the writers. It was unfortunate she didn't share a common language with this Japanese leading man and had to rely on chump to translate for her.

>>218077924>>218080321He should have stayed with the hot heiress that loved him. She was better than the bitchy, haggard FL in every way.
Good thing I only have 7 yous from Made in Korea. Almost done with the show.
Guys, the pby schizo disapproves 90% of kdg posts.. This is terrible news... maybe we should just disband out of respect?
Insincere posts in ur area!!!!!
Just one more day and a few hours....
fuck off ntl
>>218076258The events in ep 3 and the last 2 eps mostly come from her words/testimony, so I'm not entirely convinced things went exactly as she said. But they didn't seem to lean too much into the idea of unreliable narrators so I'm unsure if we're supposed to just take everything as it was shown or if it's meant to be questioned. Either way, it's hard to believe that someone as meticulous and manipulative as her would let the bag designer run around and make messes like she did
The grill spat and sizzled between them, pork belly curling at the edges. Lee Sun-kyun refilled her soju glass without asking, a gesture so familiar it barely registered. Around them, the usual hum of late-night Seoul—couples whispering, businessmen loosening their ties, the eternal clatter of metal chopsticks against ceramic.IU picked at her lettuce wrap, not hungry. He noticed. He always noticed."You're thinking about it again," he said. Not a question.She didn't pretend otherwise. "The script. The changes they want."He nodded, chewing slowly. They were both filming separate projects, but the conversation was always the same now. Hovering over every industry gathering, every casual dinner. The Netflix effect. The push for prestige."They keep using the same words," she said, her voice low, almost lost in the fan noise. "'Elevated.' 'Gritty.' 'Universal.' As if those are the only directions something can grow."Lee Sun-kyun set his chopsticks down. His face, even in repose, carried a certain weariness—the look of a man who had been acting long enough to see cycles come and go."Parasite changed things," he said carefully. "Won Oscars. Now everyone wants the next Parasite. The next Squid Game. Dark. Violent. Twisted.""And they think that's what we are," IU said. "What we have to offer."He tilted his head, a small gesture of acknowledgment. "It's what sells globally. You can't blame them for following the money.""I don't blame them. I blame us for following." She wrapped the lettuce around the meat, tight and precise, a small act of control. "Do you remember when we were filming My Mister? The silences. The moments where nothing happened except two people breathing in the same room. Do you think Netflix would greenlight that today?"
He was quiet for a moment. The fan hummed. Someone laughed too loudly two tables over."They might," he said finally. "If we added a murder."She laughed despite herself, a short, surprised sound. He smiled, pleased to have drawn it from her.But the smile faded."They're not wrong about everything," he said. "The world is smaller now. Korean stories can reach places they never could before. But to reach them, you have to speak a language they understand.""And if the language they understand is violence?" She met his eyes. "If it's sex. If it's trauma porn. If it's us performing our pain for their entertainment—is that still our story, or is it just content they've ordered from us like takeout?"He didn't flinch. That was one of the things she loved about him—he never flinched from hard questions."It's not either/or," he said. "You can have darkness and still have truth. You can have violence and still have heart.""Can you?" She set the uneaten wrap down. "Name one Western show that's been remade from a Korean drama. Not adapted. Not inspired. Faithfully remade, scene for scene."He thought. The silence stretched."They can't," she said. "Because they always have to fix us first. Make us palatable. Remove the things they don't understand—the hierarchies, the respect language, the silences, the han. And once you remove those, what's left? A plot. A skeleton. No soul."Lee Sun-kyun poured himself more soju, then topped her glass again. A peace offering, or a pause."I'm not saying we abandon who we are," he said slowly. "I'm saying we have to be smart. The industry is changing. The old ways of doing things—the broadcast networks, the domestic-only focus—that's dying. If we don't adapt, we'll be museum pieces. Artifacts.""And if we adapt too much," she countered, "we'll be ghosts. Copies of copies. Koreans who make American shows in Korean bodies."
Watching pby schizo struggling to retake control of a /kdg/ he now feels excluded from is quite entertaining(I could do without the AI sloppa novellas but as long as he's happy...)
He looked at her for a long moment. The exhaust fan whirred. The pork fat crackled."You sound like you've been thinking about this a lot.""I have." She picked up her soju, didn't drink it. "They approached me. Netflix. About a project. Big money. Global reach. They wanted me to read for a role—a detective hunting a serial killer. Dark. Gritty. Very prestige."His eyebrows rose slightly. "And?""And I said no." She set the glass down. "I told them I wanted to make something about a Jeju woman who becomes a poet in her seventies. Who loves one man for sixty years. Who dives in the sea and raises children and never kills anyone."He laughed again, but softer this time. "Let me guess. They didn't love that.""They said it wasn't universal enough."The word hung between them, ugly and strange."Universal," Lee Sun-kyun repeated, tasting it like something spoiled. "What a funny word. As if Koreans aren't part of the universe.""According to them, we're part of the algorithm." She finally drank her soju, letting the burn travel down. "A demographic. A market segment. Not people with stories. Just people with content."He was quiet for a long time. When he spoke, his voice was different—less certain, more human."What if they're partly right?"She looked at him."I'm not saying I agree," he said quickly. "But I've been doing this twenty years. I've seen what happens to actors who refuse to evolve. Who cling to the old ways. They fade. They become respected, but irrelevant. Honored, but unemployed." He met her eyes. "I have a family. Children. The industry owes me nothing. I have to think about survival."
The words landed like stones. She felt each one."Is that what this is about?" she asked quietly. "Survival?""Isn't it always?" He gestured vaguely, encompassing the restaurant, the city, the industry beyond. "We're all just trying to keep working. Keep eating. Keep our faces on screens long enough to matter. If Netflix is the future, and I don't work with Netflix—what am I? A purist with no projects. A principled man that no one hires."IU looked down at her hands. Small hands. An actress's hands, she'd been told, capable of expressing everything without words. Lee Sun-kyun had taught her that. In the silences of My Mister, in the scenes where they barely touched, barely spoke, he had shown her that a hand could hold an entire monologue."You're not just trying to survive," she said. "You're an artist. You're my artist. The one who taught me that silence isn't empty—it's full. That Korean storytelling isn't less because it's quiet—it's more." She looked up. "If you trade that for survival, what's left to survive for?"He held her gaze. For a moment, something passed between them—not quite agreement, but recognition. Two people on different sides of a line that hadn't fully formed yet."I'm not trading anything," he said softly. "I'm just... considering the possibility that the world has changed, and we have to change with it.""The world changes," she said. "We don't have to."He smiled, a little sadly. "You're young. You can afford to be certain.""And you're old enough to know better." She said it with affection, the kind you only earn by working closely, suffering together, creating something true. "Certainty isn't a luxury. It's a responsibility. If we don't know what we are, they'll tell us. And they'll get it wrong."
The waiter appeared, asking if they wanted more meat. Lee Sun-kyun waved him away. The meal was over, even if the conversation wasn't.As they gathered their things, IU paused."Sun-kyun-ssi."He turned."Whatever you decide—about Netflix, about the future—I hope you remember who you are. Not who they want you to be."He looked at her for a long moment. Then he reached out and did something unexpected—he patted her head, the way an older brother might, the way a mentor might, the way someone who loved her might."You're going to be fine," he said. "You're going to be more than fine. You're going to be the one they can't change."She wanted to say something back—something about him being fine too, about them both being fine. But the words wouldn't come.Instead, she watched him walk out into the Seoul night, his shoulders slightly hunched, his step measured, carrying the weight of twenty years and a family and an industry that was deciding, moment by moment, what his future would hold.She never forgot that walk.She never forgave herself for not stopping him.The exhaust fan hummed on. The grill cooled. And IU stood alone in the doorway of the restaurant, watching a man she loved disappear into a city that would, one day, eat him alive.
Wtf is this slop
>>218081869>AI sloppa novellasThere is some irony in him posting these, when he's always going on about sincerity. Sad state of affairs when a shit poster can't even be bothered to write his own shit posts

>>218082016Tldr: I am a schizo maniac.

Our Universe could have been a great wholesome story the little baby is very cute too, but unfortunately they decided to make the ml look so pathetic that it’s ruining the show for me, I really hope things improve in the next episodes
>>218082679It sounded like a wholesome, sweet story until I saw the cuckery tag ("love triangle")

>Kim Hye Yoon aims to make her mark in horror with 'Salmokji: Whispering Water'
Love Phobia is greatly winning kdg doty
>>218087994Salmokji: Whispering Water is a horror film that unfolds when an unidentified figure appears on the Salmokji road-view footage, prompting a crew to return to the reservoir for a reshoot, only to come face-to-face with something lurking in the dark, deep water.The film has unveiled character stills of Kim Hye Yoon as Su In, a producing director who leads the crew to Salmokji to reshoot a street view photo in which an unidentified figure was captured. Su In, who said, "I only believe what I see with my own eyes," will undergo psychological changes as she confronts an inexplicable terror and will desperately struggle with her colleagues to escape Salmokji.The newly released stills capture her extreme emotions — from a startled expression as if she has witnessed something in Salmokji at night to a face filled with fear.
