Oh, the wrist grab. I wince every time I see it. Even more so when the woman is dragged for a while before finally…
I think you misunderstood the last example you mentioned; like, Itaewon Class had a lot of flaws but racism wasn't one of them. The reason the staff was so freaked out, from what I can remember, was because none of them spoke English and they were worried they might lose profits and make the pub look bad, hence why they turned to Toni to speak with them.
I think a better example, or at least a scene that stood out to me, would be that time in Man x Man when everyone in a subway car freaks out because a black man stands up and walks towards a celebrity. He just wanted to get an autograph but everyone is terrified... because he's black.
As others have said, the story was nothing special but it was entertaining and all the actors did a good job. If you like crime/detective stories, then this is a good movie to pass the time. 8.5/10.
A show that combines The Walking Dead, Lost, Maze Runner but is honestly better than of all of them combined. Asian sci fi shows are usually really bad but this was awesome and kept me spellbound through all the episodes. 100% recommend it if you like mystery, suspense, thriller, survival, romance and detective genres. 8.9/10. Really underrated.
Such a good drama! While I can't say I disregarded the experiences of the differently abled before, this really opened my eyes to the challenges they go through, though not everyone is as "lucky" as Ayukawa or have such a great support network.
Although I wasn't sold on the chemistry between the leads, their acting was solid, as was that of most of the cast. ML really got into the skin of the character, making us empathize with Ayukawa's pain. FL also did a great job portraying a woman who would do anything for her love, including giving him space and freedom as a person with his own agency. The sister, Haruto and the friend effectively did their roles, too.
The love story was inspiring and just wholesome tbh. The themes of always supporting and giving aid to disabled people when they need it but also letting them manage on their own and not letting them feel like burdens, smothering someone with love vs giving them space to grow, what support and care looks like in healthy relationship were all well done. And I loved how all of Ayukawa and Haruto's friends and coworkers were always caring and supportive.
I would give this a 8.9/10. A very inspiring story of a man who finds the strength to go on after a tragic accident and the woman who is always there for him.
If you are interested in crime, thriller, mystery genres than Cdramas are killing it recently. Check out "The Bad Kids" and "Kidnapping Game" - the latter has romance as well, if that's your thing.
