A new generation of anti-feminism having an impact on the South Korean election held today.

    “Me first” as the antifeminist answer to “Me too” makes me both want to cry and to kick those idiots in the shin. Yikes!

      Just read that Yoon Suk-yeol has won the election. His campaign was based on an appeal to those “me first” entitled voters. He has also obstructed the reform of the prosecution (refer to Forest of Secrets). I’m fearing this won’t be good for South Korea’s journey towards gender equity and accountability. I hope I’m wrong.

      Yes. He seems to be in everything. I thought he was wonderful in Misaeng and The Spy Gone North.

    I have such strong feelings about this based on what we now know about brain development that I need to wait for the reviews.

      Interesting. So are you saying approaches to youth crime should be more progressive. This is something I know nothing about. I’m ready to learn.

      She “got” her characters really well. They were idiosyncratic but understandable. I loved the humour.

        Bo, leaning against a tree, twirling his mustache in raffish fashion, “Why Cookie, come on down. We can run together on the green fields and chase rabbits. He he. When your mum isn’t watching, we can look for the knok-em-down sheep. Wink, wink.”

Lost: for the yearning
Beyond Evil: for the darkness and the noir vibes

# 2021 Round Up
5- That drama that will always live in your memory.

Lost for the yearning, the detail, the slow burn, the beauty, and for the leads as actors and as a feast for the eyes
D.P. for the contemporary relevance about bullying in the military
Move to Heaven for the way in which people’s lives were re-assembled and given closure out of the bits and pieces they left behind

#2021 Round Up

4- That mess you watched and you still wonder why.

In putting this together, I suddenly realised why I hated these: not for the poor story, not for the crappy lines, not even for the unconvincing actors, but for the terrible female characters who were made to do and say senseless things, who were full of insecurities and crippling self-doubt, who had been armed with a weapon to show they were “strong”, who were written with no respect for them as women.

Nevertheless: I really don’t know why and the longer time passes I know even less why I bothered to watch this
Lovestruck in the City: well, tbh, it was for Ji Chang-wook crying
Sisyphus: the Myth: and for Cho Seung-woo as Han Tae-sul making the best of a bad thing and not even getting a decent kiss out of it

    I didn’t include LITC because that one scene of JCW crying convinced me it was worth the drama, and surprisingly considering how little I liked FL, I liked the ending… wow…

      I understand, but I’ll never get over her cruel deception. I wanted to strangle her.

        Me too. If I had been Jae Won I would have never forgotten her. I could understand what she went trough but she had lots of opportunities to redeem herself but she didn’t until she was discovered. I really hated her, but somehow the drama managed to make them back together in a way it made sense, and after all I am not Jae Won, so when he accepted her it was not because it was written that way but because it made sense.
        I think the main problem of the drama is that it spent too much time with the flashbacks. I really think it benefits from binging, because when live watching you have no other option but to hate FL.

          It’s all a dim memory now, I must confess. He never let go of the person he “knew” she was. I do remember the rejection that led her to “be another person” but her discarding him out of shame never made sense to me. It was so callous. Like I said…

#2021 Round Up
3- The drama with the best costumes.
The King’s Affection: Rowoon as Jung Ji-woon, pretty in pink – gender reversal
Mr Queen – the binyeo details
Red Sleeve Cuff – bath scene, nothing like fine, fine (wet) linen/silk (?)
Bossam – perfect/fitting for the characters
Squid Game – OTT and contagious (globally)

    Love it how you sneaked the bath scene in this category 🤣
    Of all the Crown Prince baths, this one in RSC is one of the prettiest, because: Junho. Which just reminded me that there’s also an epic CP bath scene in Empress Ki (Ji Chang Wook made the pettiest and prettiest CP ever)

      My heart still aches for Ji Chang wook’s CP. I swear JCW is extra-exceptional when he cries. Maybe I should try to get this bath scene into everything.

    Junho in the bathtube deserves a place in the wall, but as for best costume, I have to agree with Lord Cobol…

          Oh, I did see that and I am in complete agreement. Why do I suspect the list (#17 and #20) has been constructed to showcase someone in particular for maximum exposure?? Looking forward for the days to come.

            I wasn’t the one who suggested 17, but it will not be who you are thinking.

            I had very clear who 20 would be, but since last week 🤣🤣🤣🤣
