Stockholm Syndrome is not ok... nor will be ok

Pye Ha

Okay, but when will we start teaching children that content in kdramas shouldn't be copied or imitated? Like how far are you going to take this? Will you say horror movies and dramas can't be made because children might think that it is okay for people to murder others?

Good point. It's basically normalizing violence.

If a villain faces consequences, this sends a clear message that their actions are wrong. But when a drama presents an abuser as the “normal” protagonist and even gives them a happy ending, it risks normalizing or even glorifying abusive behavior.

um... do you know what stockholm syndrome is? or did you learn a fancy word and are now using it everywhere? 

also dramas are not supposed to teach ethics. if i wanted a good character i'd read the bible.

Wow aditi!  You've managed to set such a condescending tone, in such a short post.  But I'm puzzled by your use of the word 'good'.  It's very ambiguous. 

Art of ALL kinds is absolutely about representing, teaching and challenging human values, such as ethics.  This is what makes art so important and valuable to societies.  If you want to be pretentious,  a drama such as this one, may not be 'high art',  but it is definitely an example of a drama that is trying to send a moral message: Forgiveness, being one of the central themes.

If you  read the whole discussion with a sense of humility and compassion (doesn't the bible champion those traits!?) you'll see that there are many RESPECTFUL points of view here.

I share what Toot wrote and I couldn’t have said it better. I’ll just add one more thing, aditi.

If I had cared only about my point of view, I would have written a review. If I opened a discussion it was because I’m interested in other people’s opinions. You have all the right in the world to disagree with MINE, but you absolutely don't, to come here and point fingers at ME asking me nasty questions.

Yes -as I shared in a previous message, I'm a clinical psychologist.

 aditi:

This time I won’t report you, but I will not allow you or anyone else to spread troll dust -instead of kindness- in a polite thread like this.

Be well.

I don't want to interrupt, but films usually serve as a form of catharsis, providing relief from strong or repressed emotions.

For example, people watch romantic films because they want to be in the mood for love, even if it's only in an imaginary world.

Therefore, if I extrapolate this reasoning, I am very happy that some people watch suspense and crime movies. This should prevent a lot of violence in the real world.

In short, films are not reality, and fiction serves a purpose.

P.S. I am not a psychologist; this is just my understanding. Happy watching!
