An ode to female solidarity
This movie has actually surprised me quite a but ngl! It had a lot of nudity and sex which I have never seen so much of in KDramas so far 😂 and shockingly, it was set in the 80s??? I feel like people were wilder back then than they are today it seems.
In general I really liked the setting of the 80s in the drama. Since watching Reply 1988 this era has interested me a lot about Korea and its history.
The main theme of the drama is misogyny and the exploitation and objectification of women especially in the entertainment society. I am sure that the traumatic things we saw that happened to the young women in this movie are definitely not something that only happened in the 80s in Korea (the P.Diddy case for example is still very recent).
I loved so much how the two female actresses turned from enemies to besties in this movie.
Also, because this drama is all about female solidarity we had no attractive male leads that played the love interest of the women, obviously since the women were just so sick of all the men objectifying them and treating them badly that they just gave up on falling in love with them.
I did hope that there would be more of a romantic connection betweenJu-Ae and her friend who looked like a guy (tbh I still think they were in love with each other and was wishing for them to kiss at the end when she runs after her car).
And then, the scene where Ju-Ae rescues Hee-Ran on her horse was EPIC!!!! (sadly the traffic cgi was kinda lame 😅).
I definitely liked this drama a lot and totally fell in love with the main actress who played Hee-Ran omg who is that woman? I definitely gotta watch more of her dramas!
