Does anyone know what the song is that is played in the very beginning of Strong Woman Do Bong Soon 1st ep? I'm having the hardest time finding it and its variations online. It wasn't included in the OST!
I tend to avoid dramas if they have muted colors in the poster. Usually I assume those to be melo-dramatic or just more dramatic than I would appreciate.
Wow you're right!!!! What a nice new trend :') I hope it sticks around. I think Reply 1988 also has an end game that reflects this. I'm not sure but I think Lucky Romance did too?
Korean dramas/Asian dramas male leads are always the ones in power. The sexism is less present now that it used…
Men are not always stronger though. Weighlifting Fairy Kim Bok Jo is a good example of a physically stronger lead. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon as mentioned before is a good one as well. There's also Legend of the Blue Sea which has another ridiculously strong female lead.
I don't really remember that well but I think in Secret Garden the female lead was just objectively physically stronger than the male lead?
In Mirror of the Witch she probs wasn't physically stronger, but she was more powerful in general for a number of different reasons.
But yeah Strong Woman Do Bong Soon gives me weird feelings in a lot of ways but also just in some of the comments the male lead makes about Bong Soon? I can't think of a specific example right now but there's a couple moments where I'm like????????
But also I think your point is still made, kdramas tend to favor males in terms of who has the most power in a drama. There are some exceptions, but even some of those exceptions won't keep that approach for the entire drama. Usually when the lead girl starts dating the guy the power dynamic changes for some reason?
I really like that the storyline is pretty consistent. If something happens that gets in the way of something else, that isn't just ignored later on when it becomes inconvenient. instead it's used to progress the story. I'd been waiting to hear someone throw the scar back into the wedding and when it came i was just so satisfied. i mean i want them to get together but it felt really nice to see consistency in the story.
I kinda feel like Daytime Shooting Star would be better as a drama. I mean it has two major arcs and both take a while to develop. Idk maybe it'll be a long movie.
