Over and over we are told of the importance of giving life a chance while through a character's selfishness or singlemindedness lives are put at unnecessary risk. Only new life matter, old people should just die for a cheater couple
Thanks for the comment! It was nice to get a comment after 6 years!Honestly I don't remember much but I remember…
it was basically a fraud marriage without disclosing his marital status and his children whom that woman become mother of without her knowing anything.
What can I do? Thatâs exactly the issue â shows like Love Alarm and many others blur the lines between sexual…
Yes, exactlyâthatâs what I was trying to say. From his side, he wasnât trying to destroy her or harm her deliberately. But being married doesnât automatically stop someone from feeling tempted or acting out of lust or selfishness. Men like him often think they can get away with subtle flirting or even start something like an office affair or a drunken one-night stand, especially if they believe the other person is interested.
In this case, he completely misread her and when things didnât go as he wanted, he was humiliated. Instead of taking responsibility for what he did or how he acted, he shut down and left her to deal with everything on her own. Not because he wanted her to sufferâbut because he was scared. Scared of being exposed, of facing his wife, and of owning up to what he was actually trying to do.
So, to protect himself, he went into defense mode and ended up shifting the blame onto her. Thatâs what makes the situation even worseâhis silence and avoidance werenât just about guilt, they were also a way to survive and maintain his reputation, even if it meant she got hurt in the process. Thatâs why I think heâs not a pure villain, but definitely morally weak and selfish.

Yes, I understand now that the real issue is that he framed her, allowed damaging rumors to spread, and even let his wife publicly humiliate herâall without ever stepping in to clarify the truth. That was cruel, and itâs obvious he took advantage of his higher position to punish her socially and emotionally. And sadly, everyone around her played along without ever hearing her side.
I see him clearly as someone who wronged an innocent woman. He should absolutely be held accountableâfor workplace bullying, defamation, and abuse of power. Thatâs where his guilt lies.
But what I was trying to say is that what he did doesnât quite fall under sexual harassment, at least not in the legal or direct sense. She was never touched, coerced, or propositioned. The rumors and mistreatment werenât initiated for sexual gain, even if they gave off that implication. So her accusing him of sexual harassment might appear as if sheâs trying to label him as a predator to destroy his image, which can be dangerousâespecially when the actual wrongdoing (defamation and bullying) is already serious and valid enough on its own.
Of course, that doesn't mean sheâs exaggerating everything or that her trauma isnât real. Sheâs clearly being harassed in her workplace, emotionally and professionally. I just feel we should be precise in naming the kind of abuse happeningâso it can be addressed correctly. Thatâs all I was trying to say.
in court, this kind of claim wouldn't hold because legally, sexual harassment requires either unwelcome physical advances, clear verbal conduct of a sexual nature, or a power imbalance being used specifically to obtain sexual favors. But in this case, she was the one who leaned in first (even if it was innocent), and there was no kiss, no touch, and no direct proposition.
His defense lawyer would absolutely tear that apart, probably arguing she initiated closeness, and everything else was just misinterpretation or office gossip. That doesnât mean she wasnât mistreated â but legally, sexual harassment is a very specific charge, and what happened doesnât meet that threshold. He should be sued for office bullying, defamation, and abuse of power, not for a crime he didn't commit.
Yes that is the case romantic actions are romantic if the person is interested and unromantic and illegal if it's…
What can I do? Thatâs exactly the issue â shows like Love Alarm and many others blur the lines between sexual assault and romance, just because the guy is conventionally attractive. A kiss without consent magically becomes âromanticâ if he looks good and broods a little. And the worst part? Viewers eat it up.
So now weâve got a generation of self-centered narcissists who believe that as long as theyâre good looking, any move they make will be seen as âpassionâ â not harassment. Thatâs not just bad storytelling, itâs dangerous messaging.
So yeah, Iâm not mad at shows that actually teach consent. Iâm mad at the hypocrisy â the double standard that excuses harassment when itâs done by a handsome lead, and then crucifies others for far less when it fits the narrative.
If weâre going to teach consent, then letâs actually teach it â consistently. Not just when itâs convenient or when the guy isnât wearing a leather jacket and smirking.
Well first get close to a guyGive him wrong signals Then lean on his side when he is asleepAnd then accuse him…
He was literally asleep when she leaned way too close â whether she meant well or not, invading someone's personal space like that is still a choice. He misread it in that moment, thought she was making a move, and the second it was cleared up, he backed off. He never even kissed her â he tried to, because of a misunderstanding. There was no assault. No force. Just a moment of awkward confusion.
Now suddenly she wants to press charges? That feels less like justice and more like revenge. Itâs like two coworkers flirt, drink, kiss â date for a month â and when it ends badly, one suddenly rewrites that first kiss as non-consensual. Thatâs dangerous.
Misunderstandings happen. But reframing consensual or unclear moments after a fallout just to hurt the other person isnât empowerment â itâs manipulation.
And the irony? You people are out here trying to frame a fictional character for sexual harassment when it didnât even happen â but turn around and defend actual predators like Lee Geung-young. Make it make sense.

Funny how everyone says âa married man shouldn't read signalsâ â yes, that's what he's supposed to do. But what about all those dramas where the married ML is out there catching feelings and having full-blown affairs, and it's all shown with soft lighting and sad music?
Like:
Love Affairs in the Afternoon â both leads married, yet somehow weâre made to root for them?
On the Way to the Airport â emotional cheating dressed up as âdeep connection.â
I understand your frustration, but you're placing all the blame on the man as if he's supposed to be a mind reader.…
Well a married man wanted to have an affair outside, many of this man do that... I don't drive my female colleague around unless I know them at personal level, I had called cabs for few of them but I won't give them rides, unless they are friends or I might have any other personal relation with them. He was asleep and when he open his eye he saw her very close to him.. He misunderstanding her fastening seat belt into attempt to kiss...
You are getting it all wrongBut in *The Unwritten*? A male coworker misreads her leaning into his personal space........in…
I understand your frustration, but you're placing all the blame on the man as if he's supposed to be a mind reader. He was asleep when she leaned in, and without any context, physical proximity can easily be misinterpretedâespecially when itâs coming from someone whoâs been emotionally close for months.
You say she didnât initiate closenessâbut working late consistently, letting him drive her home every night, never setting boundaries, and acting emotionally intimate all send mixed signals. Heâs a married man, and she knew that. So why maintain that closeness if not emotionally invested? Thatâs not how most professional relationships work.
And as for him being a "photocopy of her dead father"âsure, she saw him that way, but how would he know that? Thereâs no rulebook saying, âif you look like someoneâs dad, they see you platonically.â He doesnât magically know heâs a father figure to her unless she tells him. If anything, it would confuse him more.
He absolutely crossed the line when he framed herâno defending thatâbut letâs not pretend everything before that was clear-cut or one-sided. Emotional responsibility works both ways.
The main story is pretty basic. A young tutor/nanny and her widower boss fall in love in the most nonsensical way He fell in love with her when she was 12-13 and he was a married man, that is not basic at all
This is true recently I had trouble watching again kdramas tried Japanese but they suck alot u can't even feel…
Whole Dorama can't rely on a single person actor, Kentaro might give his best but it what if others just follow director and do there parts without any emotional investment in character.

Give him wrong signals
Then lean on his side when he is asleep
And then accuse him of sexual harrasment...
Kentaro might give his best but it what if others just follow director and do there parts without any emotional investment in character.
