She said that she cries regularly because she can’t be an artist, and she takes a lot of time to help Ryan to draw again, but she herself gets the short straw. Yes, curating can be an art and this isn’t to diss curators, but she wanted to be an Artist! And she already took these photographs that everybody praised. After they went to see the novelist and his photographs of love I really thought she would go abroad to learn photography (don’t know why you have to go abroad to become an artist, but kdrama be kdrama).
It’s just – Ryan Gold is a great character, but that was a lot of manly tears about his lost abilities but not a lot of helping Deok Mi to become an Artist in her own right.
K-dramas always do this thing of prioritizing the man’s needs, and treating that of the woman as secondary. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Even more so when you think about PMY’s character in WWWSK.
I would love to see a rom-com where the woman isn’t somehow portrayed as the one who “heals” the man’s wounds and trauma, and is given some real character development.
oh yes, you put it so eloquently, thank you! And dont’ remind me, poor Secretary Kim! It’s even more frustrating when you consider that romcoms have mostly female viewers, some very young, who get to watch those gender dynamics as an ideal romance.
I loved PMYs character arc in Healer(Spoiler), where the happy end involved her being a successful journalist with him being very happy as her second in command.

I binged Her Private Life, and while the relationship is great, so equal!, I’m rather unhappy with Deok Mis growth. (continued in comments)
