I'm with you 100%. I am in love with this drama. It is so refreshing to hear honest, uninhibited, and comfortable conversations about sex between both men and women. Its about time we heard about women and the act of enjoying sexual pleasure and intimacy. I love how they are not only stressing safety, but investigating and detailing safety. I love the depiction of close female friendship, where they aren't afraid to discuss and accept such (sometimes) painful subjects, choices and desires. This is exactly what women need. I'll be looking forward to upcoming episodes for all the above reasons you talked about!
I wish I had people who watched asian dramas around me so we could DISCUSS!
Addicted is so painful to watch, exactly for the reasons you’ve listed. Seriously thought I was the only one who saw it, considering it’s popularity. I feel reassured.
I’m from the US, specifically NJ. Around here, if you try that wrist grab nonsense you might just get stabbed, let alone the rest of it all. I’ve often wondered if Asian men (since these findings apply to Kdramas, Jdramas, et al) use them as blueprints, because that makes everything just a little more frightening.
Thank you for calling this exactly what it is. I wish behaviors like these stop being romanticized, but let’s face it… considering the number of female writers at fault, it’s not likely. 🥺
I'm late to comment, because we are already done episode two, but that dude turning out to be twins had me all messed up. Not to mention the way the scene was shot up to that reveal was totally eerie. I am loving this so far.
I'd watch it for SJS (and the gratuitous shirtless scene - ha!). :) Does he really not say a word during the whole…
He doesn't. It's amazing. He's very young in this, well, seven years younger. His eyelashes are so dark it looks like he has makeup on, and his face is much softer than it is now. He's just adorable. !!
So Uhm Tae Woong dropped out??? Bummer. I know Entertainer had a rough start because of DOTS running at the same time, but I really love the show. I hope the writers are able to cover the extension well.
I enjoyed it because I liked the characters, but often I was cringing at how unrealistic some things were. (par for the course in kdramaland) In my opinion, one of the male leads should not have made it home. It was too far-fetched that they both survived after being believed dead for a year. I feel like it should have been So Dae Young because that would have made the 2nd couple's love story so wholly unfair after all that wait. I'm surprised at myself for feeling this way because I rather prefer and usually beg for a 100% Happy Ending Wrapup. But not this time.
