There is definitely sadness involved, and I do believe the young ML is on the spectrum.

Welp - I would be right in there bawling my head off. Because I have known and worked with children on the spectrum and also trained to do so (twice) - it touches my heart. The movie with Gong Yoo - A Man and a Women (yes it has some sexy scenes) but that is NOT what that movie is about. I cried for an hour after watching that - Gong Yoo is amazing and the loneliness they portrayed in that was just beautifully done because having children with special needs is NOT easy and you have to sacrifice a lot.

I haven’t read reviews on it like I normally do before starting something, but after watching a trailer, the impression I got is that the overall message is an uplifting one. When that is the case, I can handle the sadness/heaviness involved a lot better, but I guess it would depend on how deep they go into some of those storylines.

It’s sad, but inspiring. And Lee Je Hoon plays the uncle of the young man with Aspergers syndrome. It has a 9.2 rating, ranked number one on the all-time top shows on MDL.

I’ll have to be prepared I can’t even finish Empress Ki because I know the ending - I cry and cry when I think about it. I can’t let things go! Especially where Wookie is involved - but his acting in that is so good! I know that the ratings are SO high on Move to Heaven!

Is the actual ending sad?

No, the ending isn’t sad, rather each “story” is sad. I hope they make a second season :smile:

That was the impression I got. Good to know. Thanks.

I think the young actor is so talented, so I really wanted to watch him in this one.

Yeah, he does an excellent job. I just finished racket boys as well and he’s a great actor. Hope to see him in more things :blush:

I LOVED Racket Boys! He also had a small part in CLOY. I have no doubt he will have plenty more roles in the future because he is excellent.

it is a form of autism and no longer labeled as Asperger’s believe it or not. You are “On the Spectrum” now - they do not diagnose people with Asperger’s anymore. (I actually was trained to work with a little boy with autism and had to get certified so that is why I know this) :wink:

Unfortunately, when many people hear that someone is on the spectrum, they think that person is severely affected then the person becomes morose. I know a guy who, while a little bit odd, is a highly intelligent and very interesting person to talk with, but during a job turnover they diagnosed him as on the spectrum and that got leaked out. Co-workers started to behave stupidly towards him, whispering about him - looking at him and moving away, talking to him like he was simple-minded, talking down to him, etc. He ended up being ‘laid off.’

Personally, I hate that label ‘on the spectrum’.

I agree but that is now the term they use. I have dealt with people who have sensory processing disorder that they now call sensory integration disfunction - GEEZ! Really! There are people in the world that are so different and I believe you should get ALL the help you need but NOT BE Labeled! No Labels.

It’s controversial because it seems to be a love it or hate it song/album, I’m not sure if the whole mini album has the same feel, I’ve actually only listened to Sticker and hated it. I love most of their music, but I thought that song was horrible, there are other fans who love it, I think polarizing might be a better word than controversial.

Like @sweetybirdtoo, I hated the song. I’m glad you liked it, but almost every NCT album is hit or miss. They LOVE experimenting with music, and that’s what sets them apart. As for the controversy, it’s probably because people are either angry they didn’t get what they expected when they pre-ordered or they’re salty over the fact that Sticker ranked fourth on the all-time Hanteo charts for one-week sales when THEY didn’t like the song :roll_eyes:.

This isn’t new. People have hated Boss, Make A Wish, Simon Says, Cherry Bomb, and most of NCT’s tracks in general, but NCT continues being NCT. I personally loved Boss, Make a Wish and Hot Sauce. Hot Sauce is my favorite.
