I’m wondering what the actor who played the Nigerian man thought about doing this scene. I read that he’s the father of Han Hyun-min, a young model who’s become quite popular in South Korea. Hyun-min has spoken out a lot about his hurtful experiences growing up biracial in Korea, and I also wonder what he thought watching this scene (and the drama as a whole).
Eye-opening piece, thanks & good job @saya
What you said about k-drama being made for intl or domestic audience, I feel that it’s even more important to get correct representation when the target is domestic, since for some, it could be the only avenue they learn about the outside world or a different culture.
