Randomly a MV of my princess popped up in youtube. Song Seung Hoon was such a hottie in this drama. Miss those dramas where we had real romance, the guys were so great, abs and good looking bathrooms and a forum that was full of chatter and swoons. 🤩🤩

 

 

@partyon ~ Back when there were real abs and none of the actors looked like they were going to fall sick. Why are they all so thin these days?

 

@MayanEcho ~ One reason I lost interest in cdramas is the actors look too thin and no one looks old. Everyone seems so young like they are in high school or something. 

 

@larus ~ The old kdramas were really special no? Feel like we haven't had those type of interesting dramas in years!

Fast -paced and a little more risqué than regular dramas. A fair amount of abs. A number of tropes but a very easy watch. FL could be a bit smarter sometimes. 

I finished 2ep and it only more than 22mins and as you said it easy to watched.

Finally I'm seeing people call out a certain translation site for extremely biased spread of a certain narrative....

 

[theqoo] MIN HEEJIN'S SIDE'S FULL STATEMENT (pannchoa.com)

 

Some of the best comments 😎

 

"PC refusing to post the feminists that turned on MHJ after the sexual harassment victim came forward and is suing her is why tokkis on this site think the public is still on her side. I do hope PC gets that netizen buzz treatment after lying and smearing t-ara's name soon".

 

(NB was notorious back in the day for influencing foreign fans to bash and bully a kpop girl group who in the end disbanded - all because NB only posted negative k-netz comments and i-netz jumped on the bandwagon @joccu @Dhakra you might remember this incident?)

 

"This site contributed alot to LESSERAFIM hate train. The moment source music started to sue, PC deleted +250 negative articles about lesserafim (ONLY +250 negative posts during EASY era which is crazy)"

 

[theqoo] HYBE, TERMINATES MIN HEEJIN'S SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT ft. STATEMENT (pannchoa.com)

 

"The contrast between PC's translated comments and the other sites is truly something."

 

"So true. Didn't really want to mention other sites but Netizen Buzz is better in that sense. PC lately tends to pick a side instead of showing comments like they really are, it's not true that everyone is on MHJ's side.

 

"Also: Suga related info case that isn't mentioned on PC
- Police said they would conclude investigation soon
- Police said at the press conference that Suga's vehicle didn't need a license plate so all articles about it were based on lies (K-media were milking this for a while, it's funny because there wasn't a single article with a headline clearing the misunderstanding, they put it at the end of one article)
- PC posted about Suga's face being blurred on TVN's show but it was blurred in a trailer, the blur was removed in the actual show"

 

Glad that other people are noticing the biased articles as well. This site is full of trolls and is becoming an extremely toxic place.

 

CTTO to all the quotes I copy-pasted from the articles posted above.

Yeah, they are mostly tall and slender to begin with and tend to look younger than their age, so some of them in late 20s or early 30s could still play high school students.

 

When they do costume dramas, they might have to lost weight since styling and their costumes for that genre could make the actors bulkier than they really are on cam. A second lead in a very popular fantasy/costume Cdrama had to apologise to audiences because he didn't look fit and trim (think roundish face and slight double chin). He was fine, but because his co-cast took the extra mile to "adjust" for being in costumes more than he did, he unfortunately looked too awkward.

 

Still, there are actors that are far too thin, like Luo Yunxi. His face is so narrow to the point of looking gaunt. He's a very good actor, but even in costume dramas he still looks way thinner than other actors.

@4evrkdrama dongsaeng @larus @WeunXK @sweetroad You know a kpop scandal is big when Ms Koala posts 2 articles about it. She hardly ever posts articles regarding kpop, but maybe she's an ARMY? Who knows....

 

https://koalasplayground.com/2024/08/25/suga-of-bts-attends-police-questioning-and-releases-handwritten-apology-afterwards/

 

This article in ELLE India was quite accurate:

Let’s Talk About The Unrealistic Expectations And Scrutiny Faced By K-Pop Idols

- Can we treat them like humans first?

https://elle.in/scrutiny-faced-by-k-pop-idols-like-suga-from-korean-media/

@joccu @Dhakra Another HUGE kpop scandal has occurred today. Boyband NCT just lost one of its members when its agency threw out the member from the band due to sexual crimes. The agency and the remaining members unfollowed the member on social media too.

SM Entertainment announces Taeil's removal from NCT due to sexual offense case

https://www.allkpop.com/article/2024/08/sm-entertainment-announces-taeils-removal-from-nct-due-to-sexual-crimes

The word on the street is that.... Putting this in spoiler tags if someone is sensitive.

Spoiler

... his victim(s) were underaged males.

 

That was refuted later today by the police, and Women's and Youth Division at Bangbae Police Station will give more information tomorrow on the crimes.

 

I would take these rumors as a pinch of salt, but some are saying that the crimes happened 6 years ago. But they are still claiming that the victim is underaged.

Whatever the truth, this must be a very serious crime and there must be irrefutable proof because this agency has never thrown anyone out this quickly before.

If I recalled correctly, he got her into his agency a few years back and was ostensibly showing her off as a promising newbie. 
There must have been something else going on - his part at least. 😄

 

He sure did!

 

They've been dating 3 years before they admitted they're in relationship, and shortly after going public, they are engaged. 🙂 

 

I actually like how they handled it. And I like it a lot too that both knew how to practice restrain while in public to protect each other, thus avoiding the unnecessary stress of being the talk of the town.

 

Sign of maturity and dedication too, that their relationship was focused to be between the two of them, and only them, without the need of public validation.

I loved the "My Happy Marriage/Watashi No Shiawase Na Kekkon" manga/novel first. 😊

 

Then early 2023, I started seeing the trailers of the live action movie in YT. I liked the acting, CGI/SFX, and espcially the OST so much, I looked forward to when the movie can be streamed for international audience.

 

The ML Ren Meguro as Kudou Kiyoka has many similarities to Mark Chao's acting as YH/MY, but he is also very good-looking with silver hair, plus with his sword skills, he can also be DH. 

 

I recommend you see the movie, it's really, really good. The Season 1 of the animated series version was also released a year ago, with Season 2 confirmed and in production.

 

 

 

This is the ML Ren Meguro, and he has a thread in the global celebrities section. His on-going drama is Umi No Hajimari. 🙂

@joccu @Dhakra (since he seemed to get upset by the insinuation that he doesn't know Bigbang - which from his reaction he probably does). New article:

 

 

Of course I know Big Bang, not only due to the Burning Sun Scandal. Big Bang is another of those bands you will cross no matter what you do, if you just have the smallest interest in Kpop.

The last sentence you said is very important here, because SM are notorious for either sitting scandals out or just not giving a damn about it.

Do you know how worse you have to kick the bean for SM not even trying to cover it up or sweep it under the carpet? His crime must be so bad, that even SM decided that there is no way around it. He must really have done something high class bad.

If SM of all entertainment kicks you instantly without even trying to cover it up, you messed up badly.

Honestly it doesn't ring a bell. Did you say which girlgroup it was? There were tons of groups in the past who either got biased hatred or other scandals to damage their reputation. NB also was never a source I read news from.

T-ara.

 

Here is a breakdown of what happened during the T-ara "witch hunt" NB was notorious for being a part of.

 

https://www.asianjunkie.com/2017/02/09/the-t-ara-witch-hunt-made-netizen-buzz-so-the-current-refusal-to-translate-reality-makes-sense/

 

The site changed a lot after that, but looks like PC is going down the old NB route at the moment with picking a side and translating only that (e.g. in Suga's and Newjeans case). At the same time totally ignoring the comments with the opposing view...

 

At least NB cleaned their act up and now is one of the more "neutral" translating sites.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So the police clarified today why the NCT member is booked for. Sexual crimes towards an adult woman. So all the talk yesterday was ONCE AGAIN totally made up

Has anyone watched the first 4 episodes of Queen Woo yet? They dropped today? @joccu @agenth @4evrkdrama @sadthe1st @newrocher22 @rocat @sweetroad

 

@Lmangla sweetie probably binge watched all of the episodes just because of the mustaches.

 

 

Haven't gotten a hold of @agenth all afternoon / evening. Am venturing a guess that she's busy checking out all of her oppa's spicy sex scenes in the drama. Yes, apparently there is nudity. No, I don't know yet if he's sporting abs or a pot belly.

Yes, he looks waifish and quite sickly. And sometimes I wonder how he holds up the heavy headgear and swirly attachments he seems to get a lot of compared to other MLs. I wonder what his diet is like.

But several other actors, though also keeping pounds off for their period costume, still look like they have decent meals.

It's an 8 episode drama. The first 4 episodes came out today.

 

Me after 15 mins of the first episode:

Sageuks are just not my favorite

 

So now I'm on SUPER FF mode, and within 45 minutes I have ALMOST completed 3 episodes.

You will be sorely disappointed. He lost his pot belly but also his abs. And then they put him into that woodcutter beard and lots of scars and I'm just like

 

I will spare you from any pictures. Poor @agenth chingu is crying about it

But in ep 3, Lee Soo Hyuk oppa appears. Despite the ugly beard, his charisma is just

He plays an evil psychopath character who kills another 6 year old child while he is a child himself -  just because he wants to be the only to be fed by his favorite nanny. But his delivery is so charismatic! @MayanEcho @sweetroad @joccu @newrocher22 His acting is on another level and he is getting a lot of love from people praising his acting in this drama!

 

 

You gotta watch it yourselves.

Hello everyone

 

Hope everyone are doing great !

 

 

I watched 4 eps of Queen Woo Eonni

I personally like the actress acting (though she has a alot of scandals and no matter hw much it comes out , it gets covered up... why do i fell something fishy there though ?)

 

Coming back

The story is interesting but its too much politics for me , so i ended up FFing

And 

But i like the brave queen !

Lee soo hyuk is one fine man,

Like the guy is born for acting but soo underrated ..

wish he could get more lead roles plz than many cardboard oppas out there !

 

Coming back to Queen Woo, i like the story

But not the too much n**dity and s*x in it , like literally in every eps

Was it really necessary ?

I find it a bit too much and filled unnecessarily incorporated in each eps.

 

What is happening to kdramas lately ?

 

 

Which dramas are you watching lately Yeorobeun ?

@joccu @partyon Eonni, @Lmangla @MayanEcho @larus@Wuzetian @rocat @SilverDawn@gm4queen @Thong Thin @newrocher22 @agenth @confusedheart twin @sweetroad@Sleepy Owl @LeftCoastOppa and everyone else
