A lot of this is cultural. I know that in parts of South East Asia including Thailand the kidnap & rape thing was one way to be able to marry someone you might not otherwise be able to marry. Also they have another word for something like playful force that gets translated as "rape" but really isn't. GMMTV has a lot of lakorn that has actual kisses, is cutesy, not too many bad second lead females and "rape" is a rarity.
Awesome first episode. Very breezy and fun flow of the story unlike most of OCNs dramas which are very dark & gritty and filled with blood & death. Loved all the happy colors and especially the car scene and the very romantic nod of consent. Great job on your first rom-com OCN!
I kind of helps the authors to be more creative rather than just focus on sex and violence like American television shows. I like the fact that the dramas tend to be more about getting to know each other during the dating process rather than jumping right into bed or about resolving relationship issues once couples are married.
Some times it is a bit silly but I always feel safe watching most Korean dramas with my kids around. We shut off American TV because it just didn't line-up with our family values.

They're subbing The Gentle Vet now and once that is over this one will start. I'm thinking second week of September since the vet one is only 4 episodes long.
And here I'm thinking Painful to watch as in it almost killed me because I was crying so hard and that would be "It Happened in Bali" and "I'm Sorry, I Love You" at the top of that list.
