There needs to be more stories of Japanese women who go against the grain and truely explore what they want, not…
Oh, stop it with your faux-feminist "women should be allowed to explore their desires" GARBAGE. Women's sexuality should never involve children! Because, yes! A thirtysomething taking advantage of a 15-year-old is pedophilia! Ignore that, and ignore the pesky ~public opinion~ that pedophilia is wrong all you want, but the fact remains that adult/minor "relationships" are always predatory!
Does it have to be with kids, though? I'm sure if the genders were reversed, you and many others wouldn't be singing…
Agreed! Thank you for being one of the few decent, reasonable people on this page!!
My only issue is that you're unfortunately vastly overstating how much society cares about men taking advantage of girls. It's literally everywhere in fiction and real life, sadly. I saw Lolita in the romance section YESTERDAY. Idk what's wrong with people
I need more Queen of Mystery!!! Plus Life on Mars and Mistresses. I'd love more seasons of A Korean Odyssey and The Guardians, but only if the writers fix the mistakes they made...
A bunch of dramas went from 40 eps to 32 eps on here recently, like Still 17, Your Honor, and Where Stars Land. They were probably mislabeled to begin with.
Far better and Eun Ji is the one who solved the murder mystery from nine years ago? Please. At least Mystery Queen…
It seems like you think Mystery Queen refers to Miss Marple or Agatha Christie?? It doesn't. Vishallngle is talking about the 2017 kdrama, Mystery Queen/Queen of Mystery, with Choi Kang Hee and Kwon Sang Woo.
What a fun article! Although it's upsetting how many (rich) male leads fall into the "narcissistic criminal" category. Like, most of them, lbr. Ugh.
But Goblin! "Overly Obsessed Pedophile"! "He is an introvert with zero human contact, except for this high school girl (who claims she is his bride). He and the girl have an age difference of more than 900 years. Also, he has a sword in his chest, which, by the way, should most definitely be oxidized by now and have caused him tetanus"! Lol, it'd be hilarious if all the adult/minor relationships and castings in dramas weren't so sickening.
That's nice, but fiction doesn't exist in a vacuum. Stories that normalize or romanticize certain behavior can and do impact opinions about that behavior in real life. And then there are people--namely, CHILDREN--who are unable to distinguish perfectly clearly between fiction and reality, because they're young and impressionable! And teenagers are already prone to thinking dumb stuff like "This adult doesn't like kids, they like ME" or "I'm special, I'm mature for my age." Teens don't need more things out there lying to them that romantic relationships between adults and minors can be anything other than predatory. (It seems like it remains to be seen whether or not the student/teacher dynamic in this drama is going to be romantic, but idk, the synopsis calls it a "love story," so I'm inclined to call it trash!)
I have no problem with age gaps between ADULTS. Within reason. The tendency to pair older men with younger women, while generally frowning on older women/younger men pairings is blatantly misogynistic. We get it, women have an expiration date, so the younger the better, whereas men are allowed to lust after young women even when they’re old and frail. (Sure, a lot of people recognize those old men are creeps, but there's no real stigma involved.) Regardless of gender, I’ll take an age gap between a 30yo and 45yo. But an 18yo and a 30yo? No.
Meanwhile, student/teacher stories are invariably garbage, and, yes, that includes student/teacher stories where the student is 17 or 18! Because there’s a big difference between a 17/18-year-old brain and the brain of someone in their mid-twenties. That, and there’s an inherent power imbalance that will always, ALWAYS translate to the older teacher taking advantage of the younger student. It’s predatory by nature.
If you (general you) want forbidden love between students and teachers, then go with college. If that isn't forbidden enough, then maybe what you want is just, you know, pedophilia...
Even if the heroine dont accept her sisters death is an accident only.. Because of that she completely waste someones…
She didn't know that. He didn't even know that. And if you watched the drama, then you should know that Soo Ho found meaning and something like happiness for the first time in his life because of Ji Hyun. She didn't waste the last few months of his life (she didn't even know he was dying!); he loved her, and she made him want to live!
I NEED Pride and Prejudice and Emma as kdramas! P&P especially would work really well as a kdrama, if done right. I'd love to see The Count of Monte Cristo or Great Expectations. I'd also like to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but I think that one would be really easy to ruin... And Dark Matter by Blake Crouch would make a good kdrama. It's not a great book, but sixteen episodes would provide a lot more room for fleshing out the main characters and developing their relationship.
wah! Twilight! I definitely wants it to be remake in Korean!! I agree with the actor you chose to be Eward, but…
Idk if ASOUE would work as a kdrama, but I'd still love to see it! The girl who played the young Gil Nak Won in Come Hug Me could play Violet -- she looks kinda like Malina Weissman.
Sticking to it though it's a tad boring. The subjects matter or issues pertain to everyday life are 10 years behind…
I wouldn't say the issues are ten years behind time. Sure, there's a lot less of a taboo to being a single mom in the U.S., and gay characters are much more commonplace here. But workplace sexual harassment is still relevant worldwide, and the stigma of women having premarital sex and/or using birth control still exists everywhere. I agree the drama's kinda boring, though, and not necessarily cast as well as it could have been.

I'd love to see more of these guessing games :)
