    I don’t think she was upset about the idea her daughter was a lesbian. I thought she was upset at the school’s dismissiveness of her daughter’s experiences by using the ‘just an obsessed lesbo’ argument. It’s an offensive argument – to teenage girls and to actual queer women – and was emblematic of the inherent misogynism operating in the school.

      hmmm i didnt go further than ep 2 (? or was this ep 1) when she was like “dont say that” after the girl told her about the rumor. it’s completely possible i read it wrong and i am sure you’re right. i am gonna give it a while before i pick it back up though so i don’t have that clouding my mind. i dropped secretary kim bc of this lol i have 3 hard rules abt dramas that if it happens i probably cant go further

        Obviously Korean stuff is going to be pretty awful when it comes to homosexuality. But in this case I saw her anger being about the use of the lesbian rumour to dismiss her concerns.

          it’s gotten a lot better than it used to be and im shocked whenever people mention that they are being acknowledged or other genders since like…it’s ok it’s love (altho the mistaken identity via sexuality trope makes me want to scream) but yea. it’s also a loaded issue. i personally think it’s ridiculous that this would cross her mind, but i also have a (lowkey) homophobic dad so

    But then I’m a huge fan of the show overall and hope you continue it.
