You have both missed the point. The problem is in the quote here. Does she have "true aphasia" or transient aphasia? Is it actually anyone's business? You are both buying into the sensationalist language of the article, when I am trying to reduce the panic.
This movie is NOT about cheating. It's a movie about abuse. It's also about challenging you to recognise who is actually the victim and who is the perpetrator.
"...aphasia, a language disorder caused by damage to parts of the brain." This is A BIT misleading . Yes it can be due to damage in the brain. It can also happen due to severe dehydration, low blood pressure and a whole range of other issues, (like severe stress for example), that are NOT brain damage.
Ep 2 Referring to a child as "My severance" is SO messed up!... there is so much that is disturbing for me in…
Near the end of ep 2, where they've met his mother, and she then decides to sign him, I actually felt sick: His mother abandons him again. And Kang Su Hyun tells him she can't understand why he didn't tell her off.
He clearly is desperate to be loved. He can't tell his mother off, because he loves her - this is something EVERYONE should understand about abused children. You both hate and love abusive parents, at the same time. You just want them to love you, as a parent should, and feel, "...there must be something wrong with ME... " when they don't. So you keep trying to please them, in the hope that they'll start to love you.
And then the CEO tells him, he'll be loved if he just performs well and becomes successful. Everything is TRANSACTIONAL. He is merely a COMMODITY to EVERYONE around him. ...I feel sick again.
I hopehopehope for character growth that leads to a situation whereby he is loved purely for himself. And if they address the abusive, immoral and unethical nature of the KPop industry - an industry that exploits children; EVEN BETTER!
Ep 2 Referring to a child as "My severance" is SO messed up! ... there is so much that is disturbing for me in this. I really hope there is a whole lot of growth to come, but it's about the KPop industry so I hold little hope. I will however, keep watching for Ryeo-Un.
It's definitely available in Oz so I'm betting you'll find it. Happy viewing
I'm very torn. The physicality of rugby is equally compelling and horrifying for me. The athleticism is impressive but based upon the previews, I'm more likely to miss most of it from covering my eyes and worrying about their long term brain health
Query - did they ever explain the significance of Seo Yeon's blue stone necklace? I did ffwd some bits so maybe…
I was waiting for it to be revealed as a camera, but no... I think it was just an expensive eye catching jewel that we could recognise as missing, when she switched allegiance to her field husband.
It's feel it's more like a story from the world of the novel, than based on the novel.
I don't think any darker than the novel. I found NM to be much more background in the drama than in the novel. And what was revealed in the novel was more sinister imo. Inspired by the novel sounds right 😁
I love the silences, and the still-points in this. The tapping and the beats. The sound and the score are exceptional. I wish I could see it and hear it, in a cinema.
Investor boyfriend is giving off control signs. A remote island? Isolation. He knows how to play the long game.…
I agree you can meet a perfectly good PERSON and they're just not the right person for you BUT wearing someone down? Why would you want to be with someone if you have to wear them down to do it? I think Val W is just expressing their sensitivity to potential manipulative and abusive behaviours - it's not actually a statement about toxic masculinity at all.
Ep 4 and 5 my least favourite rom-com trope.My trigger warning (jk) to prospective viewers, this is DEFINITELY…
The horror trope- The Grand Gesture proposal. They are co-ercive at their core. She can't say no in this situation. She therefore doesn't have an actual choice. It's satisfying to see them address this so directly in the drama.
Ep 4 and 5 my least favourite rom-com trope. My trigger warning (jk) to prospective viewers, this is DEFINITELY a feminist drama. It's intrinsic in the dialogue, and in how they manage the trope I hate...
I'm really enjoying this drama. I don't usually watch modern Cdramas but this one caught my attention and is well…
I'm enjoying this too! I'm never confident that comedies (from any region tbh) will hit my particular funny bone, but I'm finding this hilarious. Admittedly not all of the jokes land for me, but it's more than enough to keep watching. And it's quite satisfying that we get a relief to the workplace dramas created within each episode.
