I was watching [My Name] on ntfx and a female lawyer takes two full drags, and makes sure the audience can see the ‘‘brown’’ color cigarettes’
This 8 series episode could have been the best short series, if it wasn’t for the Asian writers obsession to kill more than half of important members in the story. As long as they continue doing that, I’ll keep giving a downvote rating. Stop killing important ppl in the story, and leaving others that didn’t do much; alive.
I was shocked to see FL/ML totally naked in a rated R scene. Felt I was watching ‘‘porno movie’’ I doubt it will ever air here at Rviki. Very violent too.
PS>>>> I went from episode 5 to episode 8 (last episode of season 1)
It’s a Netflix Original. So it won’t air on any of Korea’s TV networks nor will it get onto any other streaming sites. NF Originals can do and show whatever they want because they aren’t governed by SK’s broadcasting rules. The same goes for Squid Game.
Yeah, Viki doesn’t care about violence/sexual content. There are lots of 18+ rated dramas here. The difference is that the ones on Viki are all either web dramas or TV dramas or movies.
PS: @anne_21 Is stuff blurred in The Veil? It’s an MBC drama so it should be following broadcasting rules, I think…
I like [THE VEIL] but it can be very gruesome; so I skip those scenes a lot.
[MY NAME] I couldn’t take the fights and killing so I jumped from Episode 5 to 8, and I’m glad I did bc they didn’t deserve I wasted my time watching it!!!. They killed the young man that should have stayed alive, and they keep the old Detective that got stabbed like 10 times. and was in a coma. I’m so angry I wish I never started watching the darn thing…
I just came across this scene in a Chinese drama. The actress is wearing a shirt with a Dutch text. Anything related to the Netherlands or Dutch languge is very rarely mentioned in Asian drama’s, so it made me quite happy.
The text however is serious:
Roken is dodelijk = ‘Smoking can kill’
So, I don’t know if it was the stylist’s intention, but it was still very friendly of them to warn 25 million people about the danger of smoking
I remember how wild the TCs went with the Dutch fans laughing and telling everyone what it means… I really thought those were flowers on her shirt but later I realized it was a man
I’m more democratic. Love, sex, smoking - let them do it. It’s their right. We all know that smoking is bad for your health. Of course, when one smokes in a restaurant or on the beach, it’s just awful. Many countries don’t have anti-smoking policies. I don’t understand and don’t accept the word “ban”.
I don’t like the way it’s being endorsed in dramas. Entertainment influences people. How many k-drama fans want to try soju just because we see it so much? What about the study conducted on the co-relation between the rise in teen suicide and the series “13 Reasons Why”, which pressured NF enough to cut out the most graphic part? Why do people think it’s cool to drink? Do all these ideas come from only their minds?
Lots of people might smoke or drink. But why write it into scripts so much?
When it comes to smoking specifically, my only counterargument would be that smoking is proven to affect not just yourself but also those around you in regard to health. In general, if people want to engage in risky behaviors, I’m not really going to be the one to dissuade them, as long as that behavior is not also putting others at risk.
I want to try soju, too. That doesn’t mean I’m going to drink forever. There is a culture of drinking… and there’s a lot of quality alcohol in Korea. If there is a fight against drinking in the country, there will be fewer such scenes in movies. It’s the same with smoking. About 15 years ago we had a fashion for smoking. Now the price of cigarettes has become a shock for many people. Even in airports you can’t smoke and in other places.
I noticed this too. Thought it was weird that kdramas are now insinuating smoking. I saw it in some of the dramas mentioned above and also in the drama, Nevertheless with Song Kang’s character. Even the fl had a scene where she pretended to drag a smoke in front of ml because she didn’t want him to think she was, “uncool.”
Smoking is a huge turn off for me. I’m surrounded by neighbors that smoke. The unhealthiness of secondhand smoking can be more damaging than smoking it oneself. Blehhhh
It’s unappealing to see the ml smoking. Nothing attractive about it.
