How to romanticize a crime
I started out watching this drama not really knowing anything. I just saw that there were a lot of people who seemed to like her so I decided to check her out. I regret it and it makes me feel a bit dirty watching it. Not because of its sexual content, but because I was watching a drama that romanticizes pedophilia. Because there is no other way to call him, Wako is a pedophile.
The woman is 32 years old and has no better idea than to commit abuse first, because having performed oral sex on a minor who was in a defenseless state is ABUSE, and then committing another crime which is going out and having sex with a BOY 15 YEARS OLD.
I mean, this lady passed me by a few years of age but something similar happened to me before. Where a minor of the same age was attracted to me. And although I was 23 years old, it seemed aberrant to reciprocate, so I simply rejected it. Therefore, I can't understand what the heck Wako had in his head.
The drama tries to make you empathize with Wako (I mean at some points, outside of her pedophilia, I can understand it) but it becomes impossible when seeing the macabre power relationship that exists between her being an adult and a he being an minor.
At a certain point, they turn Yumeaki into a potential femicide by having violent and controlling behaviors. But come on guys, it's just A CHILD. He doesn't even have a defined personality. They make Yumeaki a perpetrator instead of a victim and Wako a victim.
Everything is backwards. And although there are warnings that it is a crime to date a minor and news appears that refer to this crime, in the drama there is no strong criticism of this. It's all about being unfaithful and not about being a fucking pedophile.
The ending is not encouraging either. Since everyone fulfills their dreams and seems to be happy. The crime? My ovaries. It seems that it never existed.
I know it's from a manga, I have no idea who it is or what it is like. I'm only based on the drama but if Netflix is going to adapt a manga, that is not one where a pedophilia is romanticized, damn it.
Because believe it or not there are people who think this is "wonderful".
