A drama I loved but beanies didn’t

BORA! DEBORAH

I definitely had my issues, especially as some of the references and dialogue the writer incorporated into the script was offensive at best. That said, I like seeing female leads being unabashedly messy and Bora was indeed m-e-s-s-y. Did I agree with everything she said or done? Noooope. She was a very flawed character and witnessing her go through a breakup and the consequent stages of grief and growing and changing was immensely satisfying to watch.

A drama beanies enjoyed but I didn’t

LOVE TO HATE YOU

I hated the ML Gang-ho, after one failed relationship he hates all women lol. Seriously wtf?! Look I get the writer was going for angle that both leads hate the opposite gender, but we live under patriarchy sooooooo at least the FL Mi-ran’s hate is more grounded in reality…
Gang-ho also weirdly idolises Mi-ran in a way that’s offensive. I get the she can be special to him but he says shit like she’s not like ‘other’ girls/women which is a big red flag for me. Anyway the drama did the crime of having Kim Ji-hoon do a cringeworthy public confession which is absolutely unforgivable imo
