Thanks for writing this well done (and important) article! ♡
I think more people should ask themselves: would I like if someone did that to me? And if the answer is no, then we must realize that we may take the subject of consent too lightly, because we know that the drama is fictional. But at the same time, we must not let the same tolerance we have while watching dramas, spill over to reality. Sometimes it's easy to brush heavy or uncomfortable subjects off, and avoid it all together, "because that's not real" and "that's not me." But someone, somewhere, have had kisses forced upon them, been subjected to stalking or a manipulative partner, which has affected them negatively mentally and/or physically. It's important to understand that we all react to these situations differently; what's considered nothing, or just slightly uncomfortable for some, can be scary or even traumatizing for others.
PS! Sorry for any grammatical errors. English is not my first language. ^^
Actually rating are not unfair. Only 79 people have given rating to this drama so, if few of them didn't like…
Wow, I finally found someone who shares my opinion!^^ The rating represents the WHOLE drama and not the first three episodes. So by rating before/after a few episodes you do the entire drama some serious injustice. Like, you wouldn't put only one arm through a sweater and then rate how it looks on...!
It's like The Beauty Inside, Her Private Life and What's Wrong With Secretary Kim all put together... It only just aired, but can someone plz comment if it's worth watching later? It doesn't sound very original-- I don't want to watch it if it's just more of the same >.<'
Does anyone know the name of the instrumental song that starts at about 55:50 in episode 20? It begins with a single guitar playing. I'm trying to compare the music with the soundtrack but can't find the song – it's driving me crazy at this point!!
DNA test? It's not something ordinary people do, and it's pricey.I though he acted the way he did because he knew…
I agree! Se Ran out of the picture for good, was the best thing that could happen – for everyone's sake. The whole DNA thing... I don't think it came to mind because he already had his suspicions, and when she "confirmed" them, he didn't need it – he was already convinced. But I don't know, the smart thing would be to ask her brother first, and I think he will in ep 16... even though it's too late. He's now officially a murderer. >.<'
The least I expected is that MY wouldn't just believe that witch, and do a DNA analysis or whatever it is called..…
DNA test? It's not something ordinary people do, and it's pricey. I though he acted the way he did because he knew Jang Se Ran would call and tell Jin Kang everything, and he said that he thought he would be "the only one left broken by this." So, to protect Jin Kang from knowing the "truth," he shoots Se Ran. And like Se Ran said, he's always so "uncool" when it revolves around Jin Kang. Maybe because with her, he feels so much, and that's why he's acting so desperate. And seriously, after hearing Jin Kang is his sister, I'm not surprised he went a bit unstable. He's human after all. Dumping her the way he did, I think, is also understandable. He wanted to end it quickly and without spilling anything, so it makes sense. Because being a jerk is always the fastest and easiest option.
Praise of Death, really ? Can we stop glorifying extra-marital love affairs like they're normal because two people…
So he doesn't have the right to fall in love, just because he has kids? Because he has kids, he cannot find happiness elsewhere? Some marriages aren't happy but the parents stay together because they have kids – and then they're both miserable. From my own experience as someone coming from that kind of family, knowing your parents are unhappy but forced to stay together because of you. I don't know how many times I wished they would split and find love and happiness elsewhere. Because everyone has the right to find their own happiness, right? Even though it may hurt the ones around you at first, but if they love you – and want you in their life – they'll wish you the best by not being selfish, and by being accepting instead.
Wow, your review is so well written, and convincing! I need dramas with more substance lately. Because I'm tired of cute and fluffy and handsome boys flocking around one girl. It doesn't cut it anymore – it never did, really. So thank you for this review! ♡ I will give it a go.
Now I'm really excited to watch this show! Don't know why I haven't started it yet, even though I keep coming back to it. I think I needed a little push, which this article definitely gave me. Episode one, here I come!
Love the story, even as a child watching the Disney version, and I loved the 2009 movie Mulan. I am sure I'll love this one as well. ♡ I sure hope it turns out to be an amazing movie!
Omg it feels so surreal, I just saw an episode of 2 Days & 1 Night, he was well and alive, and now this... RIP Kim Joo Hyuk – you'll surely be missed. ♡
I'm so frustrated with Mi Yeong in episode 30, about the kisses at the end! I think she was the one making it all weird, since she was so freaking nervous, dragged it out for a whole minute and thought of him as a 'man' instead of a 'brother.' She could have said 'no' if it was so uncomfortable and they could have found another solution––but she didn't. Or she could do the ones on the cheek but refuse the one on the lips, since kissing a sibling on the cheek doesn't have to be sexual.
It could have been done quick and easy, but instead she made the tension between them sexual by waiting, being all nervous. Jung Hee, well, at least he pretended to be fine and tried to make it quick. Didn't like this scene at all, uhh... (-_-“)
What do you mean 'stuck'? Everything is turned back to the beginning and they never had to experience that dark future. And this time he kept the phone and called her––because that phone call was the key, the thing he regretted the most. Now they have a brighter future, being together.
