<p>Koreans in South Korea are so worried that the global audience might get a distorted view that Korea is a vassal state because of 《Perfect Crown》.The global viewers didn't know about the significance of the chant & number of strings until they mentioned it. 🤷🏽<a href="/tags/kdrama/" rel="tag">#Kdrama</a> <a href="/tags/perfectcrown/" rel="tag">#PerfectCrown</a></p>

<p>Let's use 《Perfect Crown》 as an example.I. Wrong chant and number of stringsI agree with this not because of "historical accuracy", which is invalid in an ALTERNATE REALITY fiction, rather because there is no internal consistency and plausibility.

<p>May 3, Gwangju and area. Visited a traditional market and ate a feast before visiting the bamboo forest. The 245 Building contained 245 bullets from a military sharpshooter who shot from a helicopter. History of the Gwangju Uprising has been carefully preserved and documented. The movement by university students and ordinary people resulted in loss of life and the origins of democracy in Korea. <br>The <a href="/tags/kdrama/" rel="tag">#kdrama</a> Youth of May shows the movement.<br>It’s a holiday weekend.

Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]</p><p>Incheon Airport's passenger service team has an enthusiastic, new employee & a stand-offish colleague who have to learn to get along. Great cast with Chae Soo Bin (When the Phone Rings) & Lee Je Hoon (Art of Negotiation) bringing great emotion to a plot that requires suspending disbelief (do they not know how magnets work?).</p><p>Something nefarious is happening with an executive, who happens to have a past with the ML. Unfortunately, the mystery, & back story lack details. But the relationships keep it interesting, with a couple of slow romances, & some people on the team learning their value. Seeing behind the scenes of the airport is fun. There is some character development even if the story seems lost at times. It's one of those that had potential & lost it.</p><p><a href="https://mydramalist.com/28621-incheon-airport-people" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mydramalist.com/28621-incheon-airport-people"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mydramalist.com/28621-incheon-</span><span class="invisible">airport-people</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/wherestarsland/" rel="tag">#WhereStarsLand</a> <a href="/tags/여우각시별/" rel="tag">#여우각시별</a> <a href="/tags/chaesoobin/" rel="tag">#ChaeSooBin</a> <a href="/tags/채수빈/" rel="tag">#채수빈</a> <a href="/tags/leejehoon/" rel="tag">#LeeJeHoon</a> <a href="/tags/이제훈/" rel="tag">#이제훈</a> <a href="/tags/leedonggun/" rel="tag">#LeeDongGun</a> <a href="/tags/이동건/" rel="tag">#이동건</a> <a href="/tags/kimjeesoo/" rel="tag">#KimJeeSoo</a> <a href="/tags/김지수/" rel="tag">#김지수</a></p>

<p>To my Korean friends. There's something in the International communities that you probably might want to be aware of:</p><p>The view is now shifting that all the "bullying" allegations are fake. People started to notice that whenever a celebrity is rising, there's a very convenient "bullying" allegation.</p><p>Of course, who cares about non-Koreans and the perception of International fans, right? It's understandable, your culture, your problems, your own.</p><p>But, who knows, maybe it does matter to you guys. Or, it might affect the <a href="/tags/kpop/" rel="tag">#Kpop</a> & <a href="/tags/kdrama/" rel="tag">#Kdrama</a> industries later. So, just a friendly heads-up. 🙇🏽🖖🏽</p>
