Not a bad watch ... except for the normalisation of sexual assault ffs.
I enjoyed rl - had to ignore some things to do so ngl. I will admit some parts were very triggering. I stayed for the chemistry but this drama would've been so much better if they didn't fucking normalize sa. I personally loved wsw's acting btw.
Let's dive to cc tho, he was a red flag. Ps, I know I'm a bitch for saying this but he's very handsome tho. Back to the point however, firstly, I can't believe how in the 1ST EPISODE, he literally indicates one guy to be gang raped and said "just don't let him die". I was hoping that wasn't what was happening but then I saw them taking off the dude's clothes in the background, I felt so triggered and disgusted. Cc was forceful. Okay, I get that he stopped but come on, it doesn't excuse that he WAS forceful. Remember, it's only cuz he couldn't force himself FULLY (keyword here) upon wsw that he used the next approach; went to jxs to demand that wsw has to sleep with him or he'll assault jxs. Disgusting. Most of the characters in this drama kept talking about using force to make the other person submit, which indicated that they believed force and assault was okay... if it was not clear from the first fucking episode.
The second couple were more of a green flag then cc. Gcy waited until jxs was safe and I respected him for it. I still believe that he'd wait and not force himself on jxs, had cc and wsw not planned anything.
Do I think this drama is overrated? No. But I think the sexual assault here is absolutely ignored. I don't see anyone talking about it and it hurts how they've normalized it. Sa is a serious topic.
