In the 11th episode, the investigating policewoman finally speaks about the unequal gender power dynamics concerning sexual assault. Her words hold true and transcend geographical and cultural boundaries.
Thus far, the drama has been fairly unflinching in addressing the repercussions of sexual assault on women and examining the roles and motivations of the women and men involved. Take Mrs. Wu in episode 10. It was plainly evident she knew about her professor husband’s inappropriate behaviour towards young women, including a young Lin Kan. Her confrontational storming into Lin Kan’s office and malice-filled speech make it so. In my mind, her choice to direct her aggression towards the victim, or correctly, a survivor of sexual assault, rather than the perpetrator, elicits more pity than contempt.
A big shout out to Avenue X, the YouTube C-drama critic who recommended this show. I am currently on the sixth episode, and I concur with my fellow viewers regarding this gentle drama’s excellent acting and quality and its many laugh-out-loud moments. I also appreciate the drama's focus on the impact of bullying and how sensitively it handles themes like homelessness.
My current interpretation of this drama is that it revolves around the eloquently told themes of love, grief, and loss intertwined with the power of words.
MDL seems to go on and on about his relationship and how many times he got married. lOL
There is rather a lot of information about his relationships all squeezed into one paragraph. I lost track of when and who and couldn't keep up after 2006. lol
