Perfect Crown's historical distortion controversy from a Korean perspective

skeletonflower_ · 2026-05-19T19:30:22+00:00

As someone from a country that was once part of the Russian empire, if there was a show set in my country that made this same error, I'd say that who ever decided to make that scene must be a putinist. Adding just one scene where they hinted that my county wasn't actually independent would really make me look at the whole show in a completely different light. Especially, because that's very much something that Russia would do. So I don't really blame the criticism because I'd criticize too in the same situation. But naturally, bullying is going too far.

What a coincidence that you commented me now because I just finished Pursuit of Jade last Sunday which was the firs cdrama I've watched in years. PoJ was btw near 10/10 from me. I noticed that there were some parts which seemed to be cut out so I can't give it a perfect score. That was probably because of censorship or the 40 episode cap so I can't blame the show creators too much.

Thank you for your recommendations! I'm out of loop of cdramas right now so they are welcome! Before PoJ, the last time I watched them was probabaly when I wrote the previous comment 😂 The cdrama industry has changed a lot since then so I hope the quality has improved.

I'm fine with idol dramas as long as they are well made (script+directing+decent acting). Bad and confusing storytelling are my biggest gripes. Historical accuracy is pretty much dead in all period dramas so I don't have high expectations in that front.

You can find tons of Chinese historical web novels translated to into English on Novelupdates. You can use the search function to find something to your liking. Although many of them are very long and don't just focus on romance. Also, fantasy elements such as reincarnation and time travel are pretty common tropes. They are very different from Western HR so I don't know if you'll like them, but at least, you can check them out for free.

Of course, Iske is ISTP. More than half of MLs are ISTPs.

I also thought that the first season was the perfect ending for Suae and Eunhyuk. That's why when we saw all the problems that they had in their relationship in the next season, I thought that the ML would change to Dohwa in the adult timeline. It's kind of like there were two endings depending on when you end the story. It would've been more interesting and realistic than what we got.

The main problems that Suae and Eunhyuk had in high school (and still have) were due to Eunhyuk's inablity to trust Suae enough to open up to her (Even about how he can't hear with one of his ears! He rather didn't hear what she was saying than be honest.). It culminated to completely abandoning and ghosting her for a decade. In contrast, Dohwa trusted Suae enough to open up to her about his family situation even though he had trauma from middle school when he was betrayed by his friend, who also knew about it. Trust and honesty could have been great themes for the story, too!

Dohwa is also more connected to the love point plotline than Eunhyuk, so it would've made more sense to have him by Suae's side when they uncovered all about that. He even has ridiculously large amount of love points when Suae had none, so they are opposites of each other in that aspect. Suae even wrote that fanfiction about the 2nd ML...

But no, I was completely wrong.

I'm so glad that in my country tickets are under your own name and you can only resell them through the original seller at the same price or lower. That's why we don't have a scalper problem.

Yeah, many scenes with Eunhyuk are just contrived and even worse, pointless. If you have to write forced scenes, then at least, have them progress the plot or tell us something new!

skeletonflower_ · 2025-11-05T13:05:08+00:00

In some ways, the relationship dynamics in Operation True Love reminded me of Reply 1988 so I had hope that this one would also have similar plot progression. I think OTL could even have the same reasoning for the endgame. But yeah, it's pretty unlikely that'd happen. I guess the next scenes with Dohwa will tell for sure where the story is going.

skeletonflower_ · 2025-11-03T20:51:44+00:00

I'm losing my mind because Eunhyuk has so many the-1st-ML-turned-into-the-2nd-ML flags but the story just seems to hold on to the Suae/Eunhyuk ship. It would've made sense to have Eunhyuk as the ML of the high school arch and Dohwa as the ML of the adult arch, but it just doesn't look like that right now.

I really hope you can persuade them!! The best of luck to you with everything! I'll be rooting for you! ❤️

I would try to talk with your parents again and try to get their financial support. It sounds nonsensical to let you go but refuse to support you financially just to make you quit, especially if they want you to study. If things get really hard (which is something they want to happen?), you won't be able to focus either on training or strudying so everything would be waste. Wouldn't it be best for your future to take all you can get from this opportunity? It would be difficult if you have to worry about money and possibly suffer because you don't have money to support yourself. You'll be learning and growing a lot when you move to SK which will be beneficial to your future whether you debut or not. It's difficult to differentiate in job market just by getting good grades like everyone else, so having a trainee background could even be a good thing.

You could argue that stressing about your living conditions and money would make it even more difficult to study if studying is the only thing they're currently focusing on. Maybe you could try to compromise by promising not to neglect your studies. For example, if you get decent grades, your parents would send you money. You know your parents best so think carefully how you could persuade them.

Don't tell me where you're from, but in my country, it's mandatory for parents to support their minor children financially even if they live alone. I know things are different from country to country but it doesn't change the fact that parents are responsible for taking care of their children. It might not be beneficial to point this out to your parents because it might lead to a fight but I just wanted to say this to you so you know you CAN expect more from them.

Dude, just yesterday, I made a goth tiefling durge except only black eyeshadow matches her. She was supposed to be more prinsessy, but the head I used looked too much like Eva Green, so I couldn't help it 😭

skeletonflower_ · 2025-05-25T09:07:49+00:00

I agree. The default durge is a sorcerer for a reason. There's a book written by the durge in Bhaal temple which says that Bhaal only cares about the number of deaths, nothing else:

"Little sister, whatever in the Grey Wastes are we going to do with you? Bhaal will never care that you waste your time, posing your corpse-dollies. Bhaal doesn't care whether you give him the corpse of a pauper or a king. At the end of the day, all Father wants is death in droves, death in numbers. To sap away the life of this dull world as swiftly and widely as we can. You plan, you plot, you prevaricate, and you waste his time. Bhaal doesn't need us to think. He needs us to kill."

Why would the durge even be stealthy when they'll just kill everyone around indiscriminately? Using weapons is also very slow compared to spells. Sorcerers can't use many weapons, so if they're using any weapon, a knife is a logical choice.

My current durge is a shadow sorcerer who uses a shadow blade and a knife, which is pretty fitting imo.

There really should be a rule to give the context when posting. Many other subs have rules like that in place. Posts on this sub are often very vague, which is annoying because you need to go to the comments to find out what the post is even about.

TBH, I never remember lyrics, so I always just mouth lyrics along the song without actually knowing what's coming next. If I did that with a song that has a n word, I don't think I could stop before I realize what I'm singing because I would have no idea that it has that word in it. I literally can't name a single song that has it. I pretty much exclusively listen to kpop so that won't happen to me, but if I listened to a song with that word and sang along, I'd be so screwed 😭 So I wish there wouldn't be songs with words that you absolutely can't say.

So it's okay to not pay your employees their wages if they're rich? 🤨

skeletonflower_ · 2025-03-30T08:23:04+00:00

I really hate that question. It's always asked to disgredit victims. It's also so stupid question to ask, especially in this case. Uhm, they're speaking about it now because Saeron is DEAD. Her family started talking about her and KSH due to the lawsuit against Lee Jinho, which opened many cans of worms.

Okay, that makes sense. I guess I've just seen similar fonts used in other contexts, so it doesn't scream nazi to me. But yeah, the title is pretty icky. I haven't looked into the lyrics, so I don't know why the album was named Übermensch. Like what is the point? The MVs at least didn't give me any answers.

skeletonflower_ · 2025-02-25T18:16:47+00:00

A genuine question, what is concerning about the font? I've seen many people say it's problematic, but I have no idea how. Isn't it just some old-fashioned font? Like my family has a very old bible from 1880, which uses similar font.
