It's the first time I see Tim Burton's style in Korean drama. I think it is nice. I like the intro scene in ep 1 and how they explained it live action in ep 2.

There is a difference between right or wrong and what you wish. He clearly gave his phone number because he wished to hear from her after she kissed him. Maybe afterwards he came to his senses and said to himself '' she might be an underage schoolgirl? '' so he told her not to save the number. It does not change his initial wish. No matter what she was 19 and not a minor anymore. Without knowing this he did not chased after her and decided to forget about all this. Which is quite honorable from him part.

He blurted his phone number because he did not mind the kiss and his first genuine wish was to keep contact with her. Afterwards he thought about the situation and he said to himself "OK that was a weird experience I will just forget about it and move on" . As for her she decided to let time pass until she is in a better situation to chase after him. I don't see anything wrong in all this. I believe she waited for the right time. She is going to save him and help him become the one he was always supposed to be.

Maybe they are the ones ignorant this is why they are so easily offended?

Why you say he felt uncomfortable with her kiss. How do you know? It is your own assessment. If he was, he would not have given his phone number to her after she kissed him. This tells that he was ok with it and he even would not mind to hear from her again. .

You are just projecting your own judgement on the characters of the drama. It is like you have decided that it was sexual harassment so it must be. You should read the characters based on what they actually say and do instead of speculating. If someone called the cops on her for sexual harassment and they learn he gave her his phone number afterwards, they will just laugh and fine all of them for wasting the time of the police.

Maybe you should just enjoy the drama as it is or drop it but stop making judgement of intentions. If it was sexual harassment, Dae Hyun would have called the cops on her. He did not because he did not felt attacked or intimidated. It did not cause him distress. He did not feel offended or degraded in his dignity. He did not go into depression ... Thats what the law says. Now you can keep thinking unexpected means sexual harassment. But it does not. Anyway you are entitled to your own understanding and opinion.

If you consider that this drama suggest all jamaicans are perverted and dirty you can just go sue the producers to court. Or maybe the guy is just perverted and dirty no matter what clothes or haistyle he wears.

Ep 1 was great but it's to soon to judge.

They are too lazy to go check the definition in the Law and they prefer to argument based on their own understanding of the situation. I agree with you, the ones who find this drama offensive, sexist, racist, whatever... they can just stop watching and go to sue the producers and have them apologize. It would be a lot more effective than arguing here.

Yes but a definition in a dictionnary is not the Law which varies from a country to another. I believe that in South Korea, they do like in the dictionnary and they also consider the consequences on the victim first and not the intention of the perpetrator. In my country, the Law defines that the intention must be proven but says it is proven when the perpretator is aware of is action. He does not need to know the extent of the consequences on the victim.

"Sexual harrassment is the act of imposing to someone, in a repeated manner, words or behaviors with a sexual connotation which undermine his/her dignity because of their degrading, humiliating nature or create for this person a situation of intimidation, hostility or offense".

This is the Law in my country. So for me, there is no sexual harassment in what Saet Buyl did. In South Korea they also focus on the fact that the person harassed must feel as a victim because of the actions of the other party. Dae Hyun never felt or considered this kiss as degrading, humiliating, hostile or disgusting.

Lucky my country did not adopt these standards or else we would have as many trials as they have in their country. In my country the Law says:

"Sexual harrassment is the act of imposing to someone, in a repeated manner, words or behaviors with a sexual connotation which undermine his/her dignity because of their degrading, humiliating nature or create for this person a situation of intimidation, hostility or offense".

So at least for my country, there is no sexual harassment there.

Not to know and no consent only do no define it is harassment.

Well it would not have been fun if she asked. The surprise is the fun. No consent does not necessarily mean harassment.

I guess coworkers need to really pay attention to these definitions from the US Equal Employement Opportunity Commission. I am glad I don't work in the USA.

As for me, I consider there is no harassment when there is no hostile intention. Or else you could sue your grandfather to court for the time he kissed you when you were a kid.

I did not say I did that. I said life is fun when it happens to you. You should try it..

Unexpected kiss or saving your phone number touching somebody or rubbing your head against somebody, this is not harassment. I kindly remind you to go check what harassment means.

In South Korean 19 is age of majority. And she kissed him because she liked him. Again, where is the harassment?

You have never been kissed by a cute stanger? Your life must be very boring...

Dreadlocks have been used by multiple people in multiple places South America, Mexico, Africa, Iran.... since thousands of year. These dreadlocks became a style and popular since 1950 because jamaicans and rastafarians made it popular. People like Bob Marley for example. So it was a cultural appropriation from them but at that time, there was not social medias and no SWJ to comme lecture you and call you a thief for stealing this style from minorities or people who suffered discimination.

That's just nonsense. If this was true, wearing kimono, eating pasta or noodle, doing yoga or karate, eating taco bells, drinking beer... everything would be cultural appropriation because all cultures are born from learning and adopting things which were not yours previously. Throughout time, the culture which identifies every people changed, evolved, cultural elements moved from a continent to another. We as humans all learn from each other to form and renew the expression of our identity that anyone can recognize and adopt.

The SJW who denounce this are contradicting themselves because they want you to think it is a spoiliation to do this as we are all humans and should respect each other's culture but in truth, it is because we are all humans that we can do it.
