Well, the baby are not fully yours! you need both consent to abort it, im a pro life, but dont bring politics…
the whole show is political because it is taking things from public interest/social life. she has autism and it explores ableism and being a WOMAN with autism so if you didn't want a show with socio-political under/overtones then. they had a woman who loves another woman, they talked briefly about christian hegemony, there are patriarchal values being explored and torn down, they are exploring gentrification, suicide, and the WHOLE show is about ableism so, again, if you are looking to avoid "politics" then you have come to the very wrong show to do so with.
and no you do not need both to consent to abortion, you do not know what you're talking about at all. and things happen when you have sex. do you understand that?
or maybe they wanted a kid but it didn't shake out—so what? the thing growing inside that woman's body is her to choose what to do with since it affects her life, her body, her mind and no one else's and that thing, the clump of cells, is not living or breathing in the same manner that she is. if the thing needs her body to survive than her survival is tantamount and if she cannot survive with that thing in her then she can choose to remove it.
I'm surpised that everyone hate Tae Soo for wanting to have an aboriton. What is so wrong about women deciding…
i'm going to finish this and come back to it cos i agree in the grand scheme of things whole heartedly but i think @cattaurus has a point
i think some of the pt the show will make with this is that condemning abortion or relinquishing would be hypocritical considering the fact that WYW is alive and gets treated like garbage bya huge majority of people and a huge majority of social mores/codes and laws that don't value her life. i don't think this show is "pro life" at all with consideration to episode 3 or at least i hope. in fact, hopefully, the show will go further than just abortion and talk about reproductive justice; the right to have or not have a child and to be supported with family planning if you choose to have it and the right to healthcare regardless of gender, marital or immigration status. wyw and her pops were left all alone to fend for themselves in the world—no social safety nets, no special help for school, we didn't see her get any type of therapy so i wonder and hope that will be explored. otherwise that is gross
did you know that in South Korea it believed that a child spends one year in the womb so when a child is born…
that's believed by the people who don't want people to have bodily autonomy. not scientifically.
regardless, doesn't matter. it's decriminalized in SK. not in a lot places in the US aymore which has put people's lives in immense danger. it isn't up to us it's up to the person who is carrying the baby. point blank period.
this show and its people are a gift! a gift! (i just started ep 8!)in ep 7 when jun ho was like "that's disappointing"…
this isn't a knock on anyone and everyone has their favorite characters for good reasons or characters they enjoy. i really like su yeon and ra mi because of their rship with wyw. esp for su yeon who can be a bit prickly but ultimately is her friend—and who hasn't heard wyw call her her friend yet. i think she may end up being a favorite of mine because of wyw but not in favor of her but because su yeon serves a purpose and a pivotal role in the protag's life that she needs and hopefully will always have. basically i worry that we may value others around her more for seeing her humanity and accepting her—and even challenging her frequently!
or messing up with her bc we are humans and sometimes she has to be redirected or sometimes she makes mistakes bc she IS an adult just an adult who is different!—and see that as a strength which it is but that's because they're doing it for wyw. wyw is a person who has to constantly accomodate others for fear of ridicule or others getting angry, who has to learn how to live in our world. she may not be able to be a su-yeon for someone else but she can be a young woo for someone else and that's great too. wyw is a great leading lady because of who she is so i want to challenge myself or at least question if i don't see her extreme value of being a very competent but strange, different, and, yes, autistic lawyer.
Now imdb rating is 9.2 , it's overseas peoples also like it.
apparently it's been all over (US/west) tik tok. it's definitely something that translates well, i think bc esp in the US we've been talking about autism A LOT like idk if ppl remember but that's a huge reason why people are so disgusting about vaccines (ableism)
there even used to be these commercials here (US) back in the day where they would make it seem like autism was cancer or a drug addiction and ruined families and campaigns against vaccinations and to force people to find a cure and letting people know how "miserable" it is to live with someone with it. bc of the pandemic and people being more aware of their health (sort of lmao) more people are being diagnosed with ASD or ADHD or both too so it's more of an overt hot topic—particularly on the web
oh lmao idk the show like that but i googled and that one lady that got married to that famous person is in it. is he a paralegal? i wondered what the diff between him and them was. cool!
We could probably spend hours, perhaps years debating cultural differences about abortion and abandonment and…
what do you mean with regards to the so-called debate? i think people are discussing it in interest so i'm a bit confused esp bc it is an important part of the story.
i think the abandonment/abortion thing will come up again since it is a show surrounding legality (and the limits of legality) and also, especially now because of recent happenings in the US, this is even more of a hot topic. cultural differences abound but the solid truth is that women (and people who can get pregnant/have kids but in the context of SK/other countries i'll speak solely on cis women who can get pregnant—since so much is tied to marital status and gender in comparison to the US—and solely on adoption and abortion) all around the world are a fight for what a woman can choose to do with her body and the resources available to her to make that choice.
we may go about it differently but there's nothing consistent that make us unable to see a pattern from woman to woman in every single country as opposed to something more discordant. so many anti-abortion/choice christian women have had abortions. it comes down to if someone has the right to live how they want and that's important not only for law but in how crazy it is that the law—as a stand in for the patriarchal head of the family—has the right to determine that.
I wanna do a proper review once the show ends but so far the only thing i want to say is that Choi Suyeon is the…
without WYW i dont think we would be able to reach that conclusion tho! she's fuckign fantastic; a great and flawed friend, a smart colleague, intuitive, and sunshine like WYW said but we can see that because of WYW. i'm assuming WYW has done things for su yeon that WYW doesn't realize which is why WYW is so important to her! unless you meant side char in which case ia
this show is good as fuck. i couldn't watch the last 2 eps in totality—the suspense of the chase isn't my type of thing and it was too late to finish it and it just gave me so much anxiety bc every part of the production is amazing—but i did watch the last big scene (amazing makeup...) to the end and wow. THAT is rebelling.
amazing production; acting, directing, editing, camerawork, lighting, setting, music, sound production...and a show with more to say about male subjugation, and subsequent sexualization/objectification, complicity, and the enemy of the state being the citizens themselves. all this red scare anti-communist bullshit and for what? so you can homegrow a forced fraternal order that literally kills and rapes people? for a country?
i'm really floored by all the actors (and the makeup!!!!) but esp jo hyun chul and shin seung ho. i started watching alchemy of souls when it first came out and i remembered SSH's character for obvious reasons and i saw on his filmography that he played this character but i couldn't put two and two together that it was him in my minds eye and i hadnt gotten to ep 5 yet. it didn't click until i rewatched. this show is tough to watch but it does have something to say and a great way to say it in.
