Gay couple has a cute story about self acceptance and they turn the lesbian into a knife wielding psycho who wants everyone to be miserable because she is too. Couldn't they have given her a love interest at the end who helped her understand how wrong she was about everything? Also don't get why everyone was so quick to forgive her.... Guess because they were all guilty to some extend too.
Is it really an obsession? Maybe it's just your genre choice? Or the specific shows you've watched?
A lot of dramas have this makeover trope. Especially with characters that are very tomboyish or ''can't do makeup well'' at first. Obviously it's not in every drama, but the ''obsession'' Japan has with enforcing hyper-femininity onto their female characters ain't no joke.
who is playing the character of the girl with braids, seen in the webtoon poster?
Kwon bu-yeong? So far there is no news about that character being added to the drama. No actress is linked to that role either. Been waiting for the news about this for several months now, but nothing...
I think this could go two ways.
1. This character might have been written out to ''de-gay'' the plot. Having a female main character being in love with another woman might be a bit too much for some Korean broadcasting networks. There are romances between female side characters too, something which might be a little more accepted if it's alluded to or there no kissing scenes.
2. They haven't announced the character and actress yet because they know it might cause some issues and speculation. Having watchers find out along the way is a safer bet for ratings.
edit: Someone else in the comments mentioned that the director confirmed that he character has been written out and some aspects of her character were passed onto different characters. Lets hope that character ain't no man.
Came here to say the same thing. There's only so long they can draw this out, Hiroko there's no straight reason…
Love triangles are rare in GL, hence why I don't mind that kind of drama if it's handled correctly. In hetero dramas love triangles are often a self-insert moment, which to me is often cringe and something we've seen a hundred times before.
I wonder how long they are going to keep this going. Hiroko not getting that Ayaka is throwing herself at her (quite aggressively might I add) is only going to be believable and a funny shtick for so long. I also feel that Risa might have feelings for Ayaka, so please throw some love triangle drama our way!
What's the obsession with Japanese drama and makeovers? Especially when it comes to female characters who don't wear make-up. Even the dramas where women defy gender-norms, at the end they always conform anyway.
I tried reading this manga, but the way it approached the subject of sexual assault and the inappropriate relationship between the teacher and the student I had to stop. Hopefully the film is going to be smarter when it comes to handling these subjects
How embarrassing is the couple of Ina and the older boy. It is very forced. The couple is impossible. Maybe it…
The actress is very tiny and looks rather young compared to some of her classmates. It makes watching her and the boy together a tad awkward. Also didn't make much sense to me that they got together, because what does he like about her exactly? That she doesn't talk and is super awkward? lol
Mari had dissociative identity disorder. The twist is that there was no soul swapping at all.She had various personalities.…
Both? Isn't one of the reasons why Mari dissociates because she's a lesbian and feels like she can't be because there is a societal role that she has to fulfil? She liked the idea of Isao because his life seemed easy compared to hers, she doesn't want all the responsibilities that are pushed upon her. Yeah, she stalked him in return, but it wasn't because of anything romantic. Girl had major issues.
Not the drama ruining the female friendship over guys. Their friendship was wholesome in the webtoon. Japanese…
The way women interact in Japanese dramas is always so darn toxic, especially if it takes place at a high school or university. The lead always has a frenemy and a bunch of girls being hateful towards her because they are jealous or whatever. Then of course the guys will show these women what true friendship/true love really is, because apparently women can't be that for one another. It's so tiring.
So sun outted 4 people during one dinner and people are blaming Ongsa?
The trailer for the next episode makes it seem like Sun is justified in her anger and that Ongsa is feeling super guilty and doing everything in her power to apologize and make things right. Hopefully this isn't going to be the format of the entire episode, because I do want Ongsa to also stand up for herself. She needs to let Sun know that it wasn't right of her to out her in front of her parents (and Luna/Aylin for that matter). Even if Sun forgave her for her catfishing bullshit, Ongsa shouldn't let Sun walk all over her. I mean, what kind of message is this going to send to teenagers watching this?
Yes it is aimed for a teenage audience and I like it so far but sun got on my nerves when she said she doesn't…
Exactly! All I could think was... If she's already this jealous and possessive now, just imagine what she would be like in an actual long term relationship. People keep mentioning how it's ''cute'' and shows how much she likes Ongsa, but if she weren't tiny and cute (and a male character for example), no one would say it's cute or endearing.
This episode definitely cemented that Ongsa is kind of a self-insert.
Makeover trope, which let's be real, wasn't really a makeover besides taking off glasses + hair down as always. Everyone noticed when she walked into the class and all I could think was ''girl looks the same!'' lmao. Sun now being overly forgiving and borderline crazy with her jealousy and infatuation, while Ongsa has done little to nothing to warrant that (hello, she's a catfish and nothing but awkward at all times). Story is still cute, but the writing is bad and somewhat cringe. Guess it makes sense since it seems to be aimed at a teen audience, but not sure if they are sending all the right messages if you read a bit deeper into their more troubling behaviours. Ah... guess I am getting too old for this kind of media, i'm turning into a bitter old hag lol.
They are teenagers and mistakes are bound to be made, but the catfishing and ghosting was messed up. For the story I would love for them to set aside their differences and get together... however, i would have told Sun to get away as fast as she can if this were to happen in real life lol.
Just wait lol
