AnotherSeason

This is a good show and I am epidsode 11 of 24. Yet, for a show that is supposed to be women-centric, I resent that the production shows the men a few bad apples but overall doesn't address the issue of gender inequality. like all the women are resigned to hopelessness. the idea that women have it hard but bad people should not deter from good people was off-putting. These are two different issues. Women have it hard is not addressed and one woman speaking to another was essentially silently encouraging resignation and acceptance toward this as a fact of reality; as something that should not and cannot be changed. Still, it is wise counsel though to not let bad experience turn us off from the good and we can strive for that.

Ya'll, doesn't the description seem contradictory?

Glad to see an age-gap drama and I look forward to it.

I just meant I'm tired of seeing any shows that show "women's strength/capacity" just focusing on the upper class or gaining access to the upper class. I find this problematic in a lot of ways and no matter how benevolent they still held power over other women compared to the scores of other disadvantaged women living in that society. How does having power over others equate to freedom from oppression?

Thanks LC.

Can someone explain how the mother could go and adopt one of the twins without either of the sisters knowing ahead of time? This seems too far fetched to me. It's episode 6 and they haven't addressed it.

Doesn't mean it's a good thing right?

Great performance by Takahata Mitsuki

This show is built on this. Most of these daily revenges do this but I've never seen one do it soooo much. Jae Kyung gets her information from pure coincidence or from the Seon Hwa telling her everything.

That's a good point. It's for them to decide that. From my perspective I don't see a distortion of history or it being handled poorly comparing the information I have had access to. It doesn't mean that I'm not listening. Still, at this point, I think it's okay to engage with the story.

For what it's worth, here are my two cents. I started watching this show without knowing there was an issue and then came across the comments here. I just read the a couple of articles as well as the twitter posts from that link provided below and, so far, I don't see any indication from the show that it is handling the historical situation poorly ... we have no idea what direction the show is going to take. I recently watched Youth of May and ended up doing some research on the incident, and being someone who is pretty sensitive to social injustice, I still think it okay to engage with this work.

it would go a long way if, instead of condemning people for not having morals, you take the time to foster understanding, so people might weigh the issue better.

i also question if this is a real enough portrayal. i think it's pretty idealized and romanticized and for the umpteenth time showing the privileged tiny portion of the society.

shouldn't modern sensibilities towards injustice allow these reactions while understanding the that it's historical and that they were supposedly good husbands according to the social conventions? i would also say that structural inequality based on gender is ongoing in every society and that improvements need to continue to take place.

why does it seem like 17 is the lead character here?

I watched ep. 10 and my heart just breaks for your heroine.

Wow. The Ren men make my blood boil. These incredibly capable women wasting their energies for what.

Seriously not interested in wasting my time on that since I'm not on a mission to have anyone believe me or share the same thoughts or agree with me, but thanks.

I think she sees his capacity and wants to nurture this as well as his suppressed love for Math that she sees. I believe she would do this for any student. As for her feelings, I can't tell though precedence tells me that she won't go there before 4 years pass.
