1. [+3,990, -28] The production companies are traitors for accepting such deals. They are willing participants in the Northeast Project of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
2. [+1,741, -13] I shouldn’t watch tvN anymore. I get that money’s important but why do you have to accept such deals from China of all deals?
3. [+978, -47] It’s not like these production companies are dirt poor.. they’re just being greedy. Just wow.. this is going too far. How can you be so thoughtless? This is just so wrong. Joong Ki-ya, you would’ve gotten so much better media attention if you had rejected this…
4. [+410, -7] I can’t believe people are only now noticing this. ‘China money’ has been flowing into our dramas and movies for a long time now. The media needs to pick up on reporting it.
5. [+286, -0] Dramas really need to think twice before accepting Chinese PPL. Chinese bibimbap is taking it too far. Please think before only seeing the profit.
6. [+224, -0] It’s so wrong to promote a product that’s naming a Korean dish as Chinese. We’re already fighting over kimchi and hanbok, now you’re basically giving China support in claiming the bibimbap as theirs too. This is so irresponsible for a drama that’s obviously going to be exported worldwide.
7. [+124, -7] Boycott ‘Vincenzo’. What company produced this? They’d be the first to sell our country off if they needed the money.
8. [+76, -0] And this is why everyone thinks Korean things belong to China, tsk tsk. I did cringe when I saw this scene while watching the drama. I guess the Chinese will soon start claiming the bibimbap as theirs too.
9. [+67, -1] Of all the dishes, why bibimbap… that’s just wrong. Bibimbap, galbi, kimchi are the representative Korean dishes to foreigners… so first it was kimchi and now it’s bibimbap that China’s going after? ㅋㅋ Soon they’ll claim Hangeul came from Chinese.. ㅋㅋ
10. [+65, -5] I won’t be watching ‘Vincenzo’. If the actors had any mind at all, they should know to pass on such a deal. This is disappointing.
11. [+58, -0] The characters in ‘True Beauty’ were eating Chinese instant food that isn’t even sold in our country, tvN needs to knock it off
12. [+44, -0] Yes, I get that drama production is costly work, but this is wrong.. especially in the current climate…
