Staying True
I found this refreshing and classy, a bit rushed at the end with a story line that should have been stretched out over 2 series.
To all those who wish that FL would settle down with ML as a happy little wifey with a tea business, yeah, Nah.
To do this she would have to forego her family, her community, her self-worth, everything she has fought for and defended. She would betray the very ideals she was raised with and which her own Grandmother deviated from.
I love C-dramas because so many of their stories have women with agency. The ability to make their own decisions about their lives and not be subjected to the cliches and restrictions of traditional patriarchy.
To the reviewer who was scared off by the 'feminism', educate yourself about its meaning - equal opportunity for all. And to those who think the ML is simping, look again. He still has opportunities to be assertive, aggressive and calculating in his job but he also has the chance to be a part of a supportive and loving relationship and community.
I love the way that role reversal narratives expose social inequities and would like to see less handmaids and more kickass women!
