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?

 Pye Ha:

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.

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 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!

Ok, thank you for information. Ma'am, this is work of fiction. It supposed to be interesting and entertaining not correct or educational. Those two things often don't come in pairs.

You are welcome. Indeed, the screenwriter wants to make us angry and stuff. To be honest, I watched very few characters who were not one dimensional so far.

About children, yes they are easily impressed. Parents should pay attention to protect them.

 Michal:

Sure, I agree, but this is not kids show as far as I know. And adolescents should be already able to tell right from wrong in more complicated situations. This is what school and parents are for. I'm not sure that gatekeeping them will do them any good.

Yes, the drama is rated 15+ and it is a familly drama, so normally parents should be there to comment the show to their children. It is unfortunate that some children are left alone before  a TV show without guidance. Especially for spychological intrigues. It can be problematic. 

At least the network rated the show. So they did their duty.
