[Girls can fall in love and not give a f*ck too just like boys do.]
Damn I must be an odd one, I just finished Dynamite Kiss and I genuinely rate it a solid ten and they’re saying it’s just six. I highkey like Dynamite Kiss. It actually reflects a reality a lot of people don’t want to admit, hahaha. Girls can fall in love and not give a f*ck too just like boys do. I spent my childhood watching Korean dramas I adored them but in recent years, I had a realization that made me step away, maybe my frontal lobe developed, lolol. My mind and heart are racing while I type this, and I’m literally cleaning just to organize my thoughts.
First one thing needs to be clear, I believe love isn't hard, the situations are. You know what I love about Korean dramas? They make situations feel so real and genuine but growing up hits hard, because you start noticing that most plots revolve around tolerance, enduring things you shouldn't have to endue that breaks my heart thinking about it gives me chills, I don’t want that for myself. Dynamite Kiss was fun because it's opposite of the usual plots decisions.
Rewatching it from the start to check if I'm biased or if my observation actually holds. The first few minutes are fun but something clicked to me this time. I realized that the guy she was smirking at was the male lead. On my first watch, I didn’t even think it was, and the show didn’t force it either. Lol, she was dreaming about being a baddie and I love that it breaks that disgusting belief that a woman is only meant to have one man in her life, that once she loves that's it forever. F*ck, no. Women can feel choose, explore, and even walk away. We’re just as capable of the emotional freedom men are so proud of.
I love the female lead, She genuinely represents a lot of women, we fantasize yes, but we also know how to stay grounded and respect reality. Then there's that moment where an adult is openly disrespectful using someone's weakness as a joke, as an example, I used to like the idea of 'You have a reason to be the vilain. And maybe I still do, in theory, but in real lfe, when you’re fully present, when your mind isn’t escaping into fantasy, its actually hard to be cruel. It’s hard to choose to hurt people, even when you’ve been hurt, I respect the female lead even more, and I didn’t find that annoying.
She chose herself instead of blindly trusting a man she just met and fell for. She faced reality, him coming from an elite family isn't something you can just gamble with. It’s not insecurity. She love herself enough to not give in for luck the she encounter. She’s strong literally and in the sense too that being weak isn’t weak too. What I really love about this show both leads love themselves and their families. It's what makes their choices heavier, more real, and honestly more painful, I want to yap about this so much more…
We can literally see it throughout the episodes their decisions were never based solely on their feelings but on their reality. The male lead forgives not because it's easy but because deep down even from the beginning he knows he doesn't have the right to demand anything. His love isn't possessive that kind of awareness hurts but it's honest.
The female lead on the other hand loves herself really to understand that a first encounter doesn't have to be the last just because something felt special once doesn't mean it's meant to be held onto forever. She doesn't cling. She recognize her feelings, acknowledge it, and still chooses herself, and I think that’s what makes them so real. Not just in love, they’re thinking, weighing, holding back, and choosing.
They were literally, almost comically, longing for each other. It was so obvious and thats what made it both hilarious and painful. The tension wasn't because they didn't feel enough but because the situation wouldn't allow them yet.
When they were finally together, we got to witness how soft and sweet love can actually be. For a moment, it felt easy but just like in real life, problems don't end just because two people choose each other. They keep coming. And yet, what mattered was they found their way back every time.
About the amnesia that everyone keeps hating on, I actually see it differently… Because of it, we were able to witness again who the male lead was before he met the female lead. It stripped everything back. No shared memories just him as he originally was.
The female lead? She didn't lose herself even
while being deeply in love.
I think this one of the shows, I wish didn’t end, hahaha.
