Thanks for sharing this important observation. I think watching the older dramas with today’s eyes really does show how prevalent these two tropes were, especially with the female leads lack of agency literally spotlighted by being dragged through the scene by the forceful wrist grab. There were some dramas where they had actual pot plants included in the storyline for those in the back who might have missed it otherwise.

I was asked this question quite a long time ago. Nonetheless, here is the answer: Is there a difference between a Candy and a Pot Plant?
