idk what to put here but read this pls
I'll start off with the fact that this drama has now become one of my favorite dramas of all time. My reasoning for watching this is incredibly stupid (HEHE STEPHANIE LEE GO BRRRRR) but, y'know, almost every drama that I absolutely love I literally only watched for a stupid reason. Aside from that, this drama is incredibly good and I totally recommend that y'all watch it.
There are a few things that pissed me off though. First off, as the drama progressed I realised that the only two investigators with some sort of common sense and a fucking brain are Chae Yul and Sung Yeon. And before y'all get mad at me, I don't exactly hate the rest. They just need some goddamn character development and education on social issues (I'll explain this further below).
There were two particular cases that clearly showed how dumb everyone apart from Chae Yul and Sung Yeon are - the first of these being Sae Yoo's abortion case. Yes, Sae Yoo getting an abortion in that case is wrong but Mido's dumbass fails to recognize what the actual problem is - which *really* pissed me off. Mido claims that the problem is that abortion is illegal and Sae Yoo is a minor (therefore claiming that the issue is the fact that Sae Yoo got an abortion). However, the real issue here is that Sae Yoo was forced to get an abortion by Chang Yeon's mother, even though both her and Chang Yeon made the active decision to become parents. In this case, Sae Yoo is being refused control over her body and her pregnancy (i.e. being forced to get an abortion, which goes against her choice. The issue is NOT the abortion itself, nor should abortion be classed as immoral (as Mido alludes to). But aside from Mido's dumbassery in this case, Chae Yul was incredibly right in the way that they shouldn't have tried to dig into Sae Yoo's personal life and pregnancy in the first place - and only focused on retriving the rabbit (Sung Yeon was also the only one that agreed with her, showing how unlike Some Other Girls, she actually has a fucking brain!). Essentially, it was the girls' attempt to find out more that led to Sae Yoo ending up in hospital and harming herself, because clearly the abortion and pregnancy brings back traumatic memories and endless guilt because she genuinely wanted to become a mother, but had that forcibly taken away from her.
The second case that truly exposed some of the girls' true colors was Soo Yeon and Eun Bin's case. And oh God, this was PAINFUL to watch - especially Ha Jae and her homophobic remarks (god, Ha Jae really pissed me off and this just made me hate her). Mido was also quite dumb as well - yes, she does support Soo Yeon and is willing to help her in the case, but what the fuck was 'I don't fully support homosexuality'? How can you call yourself a decent person, yet not FULLY support the gay community? And what the fuck does she mean by that? How do you only partially support gay people? Jesus Christ Miss Mido Mido Mii~! (that sentence was physically paining to write btw). But hey, at least Mido partially supports gays innit. Then there is Ha Jae, and I'm going to now rant about her homophobic arse. First off - what the fuck is 'I don't feel comfortable around homosexuals'?? That's about 10x worse than what Mido said (plus its classic homophobe rhetoric as well so fuck you Ha Jae <3). Also the 'How can a girl date a girl' (someone spewed some bullshit like that at one point and I'm pretty damn sure its Ha Jae) LIKE HELLO MOTHERFUCKERS?? How CAN a girl date a girl?? GIRLS ARE PRETTY YOU DIPSHITS (apart from Ha Jae, that ugly motherfucker can suck my toenails x). But homophobes aside, this case did show exactly how much of an icon our QUEEN Sung Yeon is. Literally everything she said was right, I was just sat there like GO OFF SIS!! But yeah - that entire case just showed how the only two decent girls were Chae Yul and Sung Yeon (also kinda offtopic but they would make the POWER COUPLE!! Plus them being together would piss off Ha Jae and Mido and THAT MAKES ME SO FUCKING HAPPY).
Aside from what I've just waffled on about, the drama is actually great and y'all should watch it :)))
