I'm not sure but does this Korean show, Big Mouth, have any intentions to discriminate Thailand? I'm not sure, though. Because I don't know whether the translation is accurate or not. 'Did your mom have Tom Yung Goong after giving birth to a psychopath like you?' What does that mean? Can someone who is fluent in Korean interpret this?
I think the tweet is questioning whether that dialogue is racist or not.
There are opinions that state they're using 'Tom Yung Goong' and 'Ox Blood Soup' as examples because both of them are spicy.
There are also people who question whether they really have to use Thai food in that dialogue. Even if they didn't mean to be racist, it's really random and offensive.
"Did your mom have seaweed soup after giving birth to you? I'm asking because I'm really curious about what she ate after giving birth to a psychopath like you. Tom Yung Koong? Or something like Ox Blood Soup?"
-Regardless of the fact whether it's racist or not, it's really bad dialogue. I think it's very old-fashioned to use somebody's parents to attack them.
-I can totally understand why it's offensive. Why bring up Tom Yung Goong out of the blue? It's not even the food that everybody in our country knows.
-I don't think they meant to be racist, but I can totally understand why they find it offensive.
-If I were Thai, I'd be offended too...
-Just imagine there's a show which line goes, "Did your mom have Kimchi Stew after giving birth to a psychopath like you?"
-Why do they have to mention food from another country in the dialogue? It's not even funny or meaningful...
-I can understand why they find it offensive. I think they should edit the dialogue.
-I don't understand why people keep demanding them to apologize. I don't think they meant to be racist. They just need to be more careful in the future.
-I understand the writer's point, but if I were from Thailand, I'd be really offended...
-Even if they didn't mean to be racist, it's f*cking offensive. I think they should apologize.
-It keeps increasing because it's a good drama... Let's go for two-digits viewer ratings!
-It's a really great drama... I wonder who Big Mouse is...
-I knew it would increase because it's such a good dramaㅠㅠ I hope it'll continue to increaseㅠㅠ
-It's an excellent drama... As expected from Lee Jongsuk
-I heard that many men watch this drama, I looked it up and think it's true. It's the type of drama that's popular in male-dominated online communities...
-Oh... It continues to increase. It's a really good drama!!
-It's really good... I hope it continues to slowly, but surely, rising just like this...
-I'm thinking of starting to watch it later once it ends, so that I can binge-watch it. But I'm already curious about it...ㅠㅠ
-Let's go for two-digits viewer ratings...
-It's Saturday and their ratings still increased? I hope they'll reach 10% by next Friday. They will be competing against Today's Webtoon on Friday, so I'm 100% sure their ratings will increase. So let's go for 10%!
-This drama is really interestingㅋㅋㅋ It makes you get so immersed into the story. More importantly, it has endless plot twists so you'll be like, 'Huk' 'Hul', the whole time...
The story of a lawyer with 10% success rate who is caught up in a murder case and somehow fingered as a genius swindler, Big Mouse. He digs and unveils a huge conspiracy of the privileged class in order to survive and protect his family.
Casts:
Lee Jongsuk, Im Yoona, Kim Joo-heon, Ock Jayeon, Yang Kyungwon, Kwak Dongyeon
Today's episode ends with Lee Jongsuk going into prison.
God-ending.
It's crazy.
I predict this drama will cost a lot of blood, tear, and sweat.
-Is this good? I've read the synopsis and it seems boring to me...
-It's so good...ㅋㅋㅋ As expected, you can always trust Lee Jongsuk when it comes to dramas. He looks so cute together with Yoona!!
-I watched this drama and I don't really understand what's going on, but the ending is really cool...
-It gets boring sometimes but I think I'm gonna watch the first 4 episodes before judging...
-I'm only watching this for Lee Jongsuk. I still don't know what's going on, probably because it's still the first episode. First of all, I'm gonna watch the first 4 episodes before judging.
-I've been waiting for Lee Jongsuk for so longㅠㅠㅠ It's really nice to finally get to see him again after such a long time...
-Judging from the comments, it seems like a boring drama... I'm gonna wait and see public's reactions next week before finally deciding whether I should watch this drama or not...
-I watched this for a while and found it boring so I just watched another thing... Will it get more interesting as time passes by?
-Today's episode was boring. But I'm still going to watch it just to see Yoona and Lee Jongsukㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I expected a lot because Lee Jongsuk is starring in it... Well, it was okay to watchㅋㅋ I think I'm going to continue to watch it...
-How could you not watch this drama when Lee Jongsuk and Yoona are starring in it????
