I have ideas and have hesitated to share them mainly because I'm not sure that anybody would be interested in what I have to say. The other reason being a mix of what you've said in your article. But after reading you, I'm definitely inspired to put my thoughts out there. Thank you.
I'd like to see a good middle management boss who's not part of the main cast. We're used to seeing bosses as uncaring jerks or leery perverts. I would like to know about nice, supportive bosses for once.
I have an example for a female character that is beyond those stereotypes (A and B) and I'm curious if anyone agrees or disagrees with me: Ahn Se Gye from The Beauty Inside. I liked that the character was supposed to be that beautiful, graceful starlet whose name was cited in many a love scandal (so she had a sexuality) and yet still remained extremely popular (and rich, so financially powerful). She also was criticized for her big mouth, but acknowledged that it was also part of her charms. At the same time, she's seen crying a whole lot and she has a load of insecurities that she just takes in stride. By the end of the drama she has not changed except for, she has learned how to love herself and others, and how to accept happiness. That's my reading of the character, I would be interested in what someone else might have thought.
Ok, I was impressed by your article. I dropped the show and don"t intent to pick it up again, but I was amazed at how much depth you found in this drama that I did not, but most importantly the cues (visual and contextual) that you picked up and the way you explained them (easy for me to understand). I suspect that you must have a background in film studies (?). Anyway, I bookmarked your article about popular visual cues in kdrama for future reading. Thanks a lot.
Ooh nice idea and thank you. I bookmarked it, because I know I'll come back to it from time to time, especially for the lakorns, since they can be so inconsistent, quality wise... . I also will start a thread like that of my own. I hope you don't mind.
I agree, mega creepy. At the same time, I was relieved that he was so shocked when he took her bandages off, showing…
Hum.. that's a good question. After all they were happy at the beginning of their marriage. But I feel like he probably just started hitting her because that's all he knows. He only knows violence. From what we know of her, she's not a quitter. Her reaction after learning whose face the doctor gave her, and a few minor things make me believe that if not for a fear for her life, she would not have tried to escape. So he must have hit her first. LOL major guessing in my part haha.
