Life Is Beautiful

              Don't take it the wrong way, my life is never beautiful. xD I'm talking about a Drama in the SBS network.
This Drama is about a daily lives of a family living in Jeju Isalnd. Yang Byung Tae's mother is a stubborn and tough family-head who holds the Yang family together despite of going through the heart-break of being betrayed by her husband. Byung Tae who married Kim Min Jae in his second marriage after the death of his first wife, brought in more people into his side of the family. His seemingly prefect elder son, Yang Tae Sub is actually having a love relation with another man which will be threatening to their family relations if he was discovered. His second son, Ho Sub who is their family's trouble-maker, wants to be in tourist submarine business after failing in his studies while his youngest daughter, Cho Rong is after fame after being scouted as the resort model.

I absolutely adore this drama. It is the first ever drama to star about a gay couple. I'm jealous of how the family in this drama react when they found out that Tae Sub was gay. If my family knew, I'd be dead by now. xD

Does watching a TV drama featuring a homosexual relationship cause men to become gay?
Apparently The Ministry of Justice and some parents think so.
(People these days)
A union of mothers (whose name I couldn't locate) was so upset with the possibility of people watching the show and turning gay they took out this newspaper ad in the Chosun Journal, which warns: "If my son becomes gay and dies from AIDs after watching Life is beautiful, SBS must take responsibility!"
This really irritates me. I mean "really?" Why blame a television show? Its not going to change the fact that your son is gay. 

The gay couple that is shown on ‘Life Is Beautiful’ is so beautifully and realistically drawn. If there really is a son out there that becomes gay after watching the drama, it is not because he became gay but because he actually was gay and finally earned enough confidence to come out. It could be the drama that gave him that strength to come out to his parents and ask for understanding. How unfortunate for the children that live under the parents that put out such a trashy advertisement. Aids is not a disease specific to gays.
