Just read the newspaper...got really pi**ed off man... must keep my cool! Ok, here's what happened: i flipped open the newspaper today and saw a photo of the most exquisite Lee Young Ae . Interested to know what is written, i read the article below her photo and man, wasn't i pi**ed! Due to the unbelievable popularity of DJG and the ongoing Korean-mania(hallyu) in China, a group of "Anti-Hallyu" people has appeared to oppose against the rise of the adoration of Korean dramas and films in China. They hurled numerous insults at DJG, saying that whether in terms of production values, costumes or props, it pales in comparison with China's TV dramas. And some even said that DJG is a show without substance! China's acclaimed actor and director Zhang Guo Li(the reputed "leader" of China's "Anti-Hallyu movement"), went even further to say that DJG misled its viewers to believe that acupuncture originated from Korea. (we all know that it was clearly stated in DJG that acupuncture was brought into Korea by the Ming Dynasty) What are these people thinking?! I understand they're trying to protect their local TV dramas, but it's simply outrageous and immature of them going to the extent of insulting DJG! If it's such a lousy show, then why is it enjoying such high viewer ratings in China? Really freakin' pi**sed off man...hope they realize their mistakes and apologize to the crew and producers of DJG, who worked so hard to bring us such a fantastic show!

Haha...middle-aged ppl love to read it! It's a sort of habit...cos S'pore didn't have much newspapers in the past and my parents bought it to check out the 4D results(most S'porean Chinese LoVe to gamble)...and they've been buying it since then~ Though it's a tabloid paper, they don't distort the truth, they just love to sensationalize the news...haha~ But still, no insulting DJG!

I find it hard to believe truth is not bent even more out of shape for tabloids than the usual papers.
4D. *shakes head*

If they dare to distort the truth, S'pore government will immediately ban the paper . That's one of the many good points about S'pore's government!

Maybe I'm being to serious here but the Right to a Free Press and Free Speech is so important.
I understand some of the frustrations of reading negative articles about this or that but just remember that your views one day could become "unpopular" or "dangerous" and your freedom to print or say what you want could be stopped.
Let the jerks print anything they want.
*********************************** Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. — The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
