Dalja's Spring Episode 17 Reactions
I love that Tae Bong doesn't get possessive or jealous over Dal Ja's friendship with Sae Do. Kdramas in the romance genre almost universally have a male protagonist who gets jealous if the female lead even talks to another man, let alone is friends with one or laughs with one or sits close with one. Most people think it's cute or evidence that he's head over heels for the female lead, but I feel like it also indicates you're not fully confident and stable in your relationship or you don't trust your significant other if you get jealous over such petty things. It's not healthy for women to only ever fraternize with their partner and no other men for the rest of their lives, and I wish kdramas would stop portraying it as cute or normal for a couple deeply in love.
