Oh, I know how they'll manage to end the drama within 2 episodes:
Episode 1 : She loves him so much that she can't wait and tells him before her birthday, he's so distressed and can't take the lying that he ask her not to see him ever again.
Episode 2 : She goes heartbroken on the road and is blinded by her tears, she can't see the road properly and hit a truck and dies, proving that the curse was real. Never able to forgive himself, he ends up killing himself, to find his sworn brother in the afterlife.
My main issue with all this isn't really the abuses themselves. I mean, I've seen/read stuff with that kind of…
unfortunately, fiction is never just fiction. It's always a reflection of the society that produces it. When it's just one or two drama, you can think that it's just a exception, a story told with questionnable taste...but when those thing become generally admitted as normal, that's when it becomes a mirror. That's why there are some clichés that you will mostly find in kdrama, others in jdrama, others in taidrama, and so on.
I really like your article. When I read the title, I though : FINALLY. (Which mean I probably should have written about it sooner myself lol, but I'm glad you did it, it was really well done)
I have a zero tolerance to abuse and the scene in Mars bothered me so much that when I rewatch it I always skip that part. I cannot imagine how it could have seem right to him ; you suspect your girlfriend was raped...so just to be sure you try to rape her to see show she reacts??? I mean who does that !
I'm also shocked by scenes when teachers beat their students, be it publicly or privately. I remember that scene in School 2013...she hit all of her students to punish them, and there was a sad music because she felt bad about it and was hurting her hand in the process. I felt like : Wow, am I supposed to feel bad for her? How about I feel bad for the student who are being publicly humiliated instead, ok?
In Pinocchio, when In Ha was hunting for scoops in the police station, she went all and seid "You have nothing? Not even a little case of domestic violence?" Like that was the most boring thing she could come across. Domestic violence is a PLAGUE.
That's why I never watched Lakorn, or Thai drama, because of all the rape scene and how it's supposed to be romantic and "tough love". I mean dramas are mostly targeting women for viewers, so what's the message ? If a man kidnaps you and rape you, don't me hurt or mad, accept it as a romantic gesture? If that's the thing they show them on romantic fiction, then OMG what on earth is really happening to them in real unromantic life then ?
So, I couldn't answer and vote because my computer is somehow not processing your poll, but I guess you already know how I feel : abuse is wrong, and should not be shown on a romantic light.
Which is probably why I so easily get Second Male Lead Syndrom. Most of the time they are the one really respecting the girls. They give her space, and choice, and their talk and listen. They put her feeling first and their own will second. Doesn't mean their don't feel passionately about her, just that they're waiting until she's willing. That's doesn't mean they "don't share chemistry", just that they're respectful and not into kiss-rapes.

Well, that's not offensive to all the german MDLer (kidding, I get that this is just a funny bug)
