A movie where the heroine is a rapist? Yikes! Huge pass for me and shame on the makers of this movie.

Ewwwwww. #teacherstatus

I hate Noona's love in Kdrama for one reason, it's usually an illegal relationship like a very grown up woman with some teenager student! I hear your voice, king of high school etc.
Yet they find an Ahjussi with a full grown up woman more disturbed!

Make it 3. She also did Mt Tutor Friend, where she falss in love with her student she takes tuitions for.

before you all judge, maybe you should wait until more of the plot is revealed. for all you know, this movie WONT glorify rape and instead show how bad/horrible it is. usually k-movies are more prone to NOT having a happy ending, so maybe by dangerous, they cover their relationship turning into a statutory rape case. and if it IS glorifying rape or making these vast age gap relationships seem romantic, THEN you can boycott the movie and judge it but watch your words until you know the details of the plot

Why does this reminds me of a case in US whereby the female teacher had a relationship with a teenager like 12 or 13 and was sentenced to jail? She had 2 kids with him & they eventually got married after she was released. But it does not sounds fairytale to me cos that boy is really too young. I mean what does a 12,13 year old kiddo knows when the teacher is like 30+ year old?

I wonder who would be perfect to play the student. Um Lee Jong-suk oppa? Yoo Ah-in? Seo In-guk?
I think I know. Jin-gu!!! But I am not sure since it's actually said to be dangerous and he is just a kid.
Anyway, this isn't my kind. And I hardly watch Korean movies. I only watch the ones that star my favorite actors. So, I don't care much for this one.

#disturbing #disgusting

can I have bokdong aka jisoo for the student role hahaha , he a pro with this stuff :)))

OMG!
years ago, I read a fanfic about love between teacher and high school student and the woman in the fanfic uses Kim haneul as the model lol
what a coincidence

There is no wrong in noona love if the guy is of legal age. It is hypocrite when an older man can date a younger woman then why can't the opposite?
Saying this, I hope it is one of the exceptions showing the nuances of an illicit love affair.
Though I have no issue with older women with younger men but Teacher-student relationship be it male teacher or female student or female teacher with male student is a bit too taboo and illicit for me but it depends... Teachers are like parents, they shouldn't misuse their position but let's see how dangerous this love affair will turn out to be and I hope it is based on emotions than lust which will give it a more humane angle.
BTW, Romance 2002 is one my favourite dramas even though it was based on a female teacher with a male student because the drama did justice to the story an relationship.

is this going to go the way of innocent thing? because that movie was disturbing as anything (and slightly crazy with a terrible depiction of women), but at least it didn't romanticise the teacher student relationship. a thriller like that works for that kind of relationship

Sounds like The Reader starring Kate Winslet as the older woman who did something terrible as part of the Holocaust...

Teacher with trauma... sounds like Nara's Rain.

But when it's Yoo Ah In in A Secret Love Affair, everyone (or at least a good majority) is all swooning?

Idk. No one likes crimes, murders, or terrorism. Yet in dramas, fans like to root for the baddie (especially if they're "hot"), watch faux-incest on screen, etc. if you like horror, you can sit through gritty scenes of limbs being dismembered.

I understand the fact that a teacher-student can be bad, with some seeing it as "abuse of power". But than how many times have we sat through dramas with dominating males who can't take a "no"?
I'm not condoning anything or say It's okay, I guess it's more of a rant?

In the end, I guess I'm just used to watching films that explore complicated relationships. before jumping in and saying "this is bad!", I think what I love about films is how complicated things are expressed. How not everything is black and white, and that sometimes you look at circumstances that led to something, etc.

Films have always been used as a way expressing topics that may be taboo in society. To watch a film not because you agree with a topic, but for the art of how certain feelings are expressed, resolved, and how it ends.

As probably the only guy who posts here, this video is relevant.

If I immediately said "hell no" to every disturbing, disgusting plot, I would have missed out on some really great movies.

I can't stop going back and forth on the article to find anything about the plot that says 'rape'. Are my eyes playing a trick with me already?

It's funny how people immediately throw rotten eggs even before knowing much about the drama. Have these people watched anything of a similar story and think it's disgusting?

I've watched both Romance and Majo no Jouken and both are done well. So well that they remain in my mind when lots more well known and recent dramas have faded from my memory.

Political correctness shouldn't be an excuse to shallowness. I hope people will know what something is before saying Eeeewww.

And oh, please don't tell me these are the same people who love their Kpop female idols wearing the most revealing clothes posing and dancing suggestively to an audience that are mostly underage.

I would totally give my son a massive high-five if she was his noona-crush ... and yes ... that's a double standard because if my daughter was involved with a school teacher, I'd kill him with my barehands.

So far nothing beats Majo no Jouken in terms of teacher student relationship. And it was pretty steamy with library s** and the leading lady was in fact 26 years old as her role suggested and the leading man (boy) was in real life at that time really around 16-17 years old. Leave it to the Japanese drama/movie for the controversy. And that drama was from 1999!!!
