1. [+312, -17] The fact that we no longer have actors eligible for traditional dramas because of the #metoo movement... does that really mean we have no clean veteran actors at all? Isn't that just really sad and pathetic?

2. [+258, -10] What have all the veteran actors been doing this whole time;;

3. [+223, -13] They've taken more than they deserved. Let's take this as an opportunity to slowly rebuild everything from the bottom up.

4. [+11, -0] The drama producers are basically saying that there's no way they can check all the veteran actors to see if they're clean so they're not going to produce any dramas for the time being... they're not saying all of the veteran actors are dirty.

5. [+11, -0] We still have a ton like Lee Soon Jae, Choi Soo Jong, Yoo Dong Geun, Ahn Jae Mo, Lee Duk Hwa, etc.

6. [+5, -1] Must mean that there's a lot of trash. Let's clean them all out now.

7. [+5, -0] Like the producers are saying, there's no way we can vet everyone's private lives so it's better to be careful than sorry

8. [+3, -4] Yeah, I have no problem not watching any dramas until we clean up all the trash for good...
