will start watching soon, hopefully they will not include the disturbing scene where Dao Ming Si sexually assaults/ hits Shan Cai (like in the original MG, I know its also included in the manga ).. Maybe they will not include it since this is a updated, more modern version , and y'know .. time and mindset changes. maybe back in 90s/early 2000s it was more "acceptable" wth sexual assaults? But not anymore.. I think its a lots thanks to MeToo. I read some comments saying that the bullying is less extreme, which I really like. :)
But what i did like about the original MG was that Dao Ming Si was so madly , passionately head over heels in love with Shan Cai... by his facial expressions, body language and actions -- it spoke volumes that he can't live without her. I think out of all versions, he was the one who potrayed a man in love the most well . I also liked that there was some sexual tension between him and Shan Cai, their chemistry was amazing! and the kisses were great too~ I am curious how this version is gonna be like when it comes to Dao Ming Si's love for Shan Cai, how the dynamic / chemistry between him and Shan Cai is going to be like.. If there will be any sexual tension and passionate kisses (I think not, since the actors are younger if I'm not mistaken) Looking so forward to watch this one!!!^ _ ^
I think you're talking about one of Kathlene. E. Woodwiss novels, she was the one who started these bodice rippers/…
Yes. Exactly...kathlene. E woodwiss (the flame and flower, the wolf and the dove) , Christine Manson (stormfire), Rosemary rogers (sweet savage love) etc... Sawan Biang was indeed too horrible , but i heard slap and kiss dramas such as popular kleun cheewit is pretty ’light’ compared to sawan biang... gotta watch it someday, heard many great things about the female lead in that one :)
I couldn’t have Said it better myself. I hate this Lakorn and makes me so mad whenever I think of it...the worst I seen so far, makes me wanna puke. I hate when they glorify kidnapping / rape / torturing. Thanks to sawan Biang I was planning to never watch another thai drama ever again. . People are Ofc allowed to love this Lakorn, nth wrong with that (as long as they actually think that rape and such is unacceptable IRL), But it made me uncomfortable watching this one even though its just a drama... I gusss Sawan Biang is like a typical trachy american ”romance” novel during 70s/80s...Actually Sawan Biang is based on a old thai novel (from 60s/70s? Dont remember), and i guess during that time Thailand was a very sexist society where women were supposed to be all pure and innocent with No sexual desires,and forgiving and kind as a saint.. while men were supposed to be all mascho , aggressive and dominant to be seen as ”manly” with extremly high sexual drive. So, if there is gonna be sex involved, Ofc u can’t then make the woman be willing (cuz women with sexual desires are BAD *sarcasm*), so better make her someone who thinks sex is disgusting and try to push the man away when he wants to have sex with her.. i guess during 60s/70s Thailand the ideal thing (at least in litterature) was for the man to be all heels over in ”love” with the woman / crazily madly in ”love”,to the point that he cannot control his sexual desires anymore and ending up raping her .. like a Wild beast, kinda insulting to men too LOL , its like telling men that they always think with their d*ck instead of brain ..My other guess is that in the 60s/70s if a woman was raped in Thailand , better marry the rapist cuz she is already ”tainted”... sorry for my long ranting, Im just writing what i THINK :) Im not thai so i could be wrong...But this is what i get impression of after reading a few articles about the slap and kiss genre... I get the impression that many slap and kiss Lakorns are based on old thai Novels...Novels that was written during a very sexist period.
Good thing that koreans take this seriously and that this kind of matter is not swept under the carpet.. this is not 1950s after all. Seems to me like South korea is more forward thinking than other asian countries when it comes to sexual harassment...
Being drunk while acting like that is no excuse, if one becomes aggressive / dangerous while drinking then that person shouldn’t drink. I’m slightly surprised ,Lee Seo Won is only 21...
To make myself clearer, I’m not asking if this DRAMA will get a third season, I’m just asking if the novel (written by BitterSweet) will have a third one? =)
Jin Ah is so spineless, it's frustrating...Why is her character regressing in development? She had finally started…
Finally soneone who sees in in same way as I Do! Im so frustrated with her.. fine I really understand that in asian countries family comes first, I respect that.. But that doesnt mean you have to dump someone kind , sweet (who even has a DECENT job) because Your family doesnt approve? When him not having a good family backround is not even his fault ?? He has Done so much for her after all... even willing to get fired from work, But she just cant even fight for him just because her AWFUL mom hates it??
So the ML father killed the FL parents? How in the world can they become lovers again?? I can’t seem to see…
But i guess their love will be so deep... I mean, still being in love (or falling in love) with the man whos dad killed Your parents .. Thats some deep love. .
Family is important in Korea, more important than I think many non-koreans understand. It was once a highly Confucian…
Ok good points, i get it.. But it still makes No sense to me, cuz its not like JH was poor.. he had a decent stable job.. sorry, just makes No sense to me.. cuz what i have been taught is that as long as a man with decent full time job , Thats more than enough for a woman to build a future with him...
I don't understand how adults past 30 are so dependent and have to obey the parents.
JA is a weak character, and if she really wanted to be independent she would have moved out a long time ago. Its just frustrating since JH is willing to give up anything for JA But she cant even fight for him.. what a unbalanced relationship, right now i just wish JH Will find a stronger woman.. such a shame, cuz i adored this otp so much before . =(
Im sorry if i came across as too crude, but it just makes me so pissed that JH gets all this crap from JA even after ALL he Done for her/ and willing to Do for Her.. Im not saying she has to love him as much as he loves her, But plz woman, be at least more understanding of him and show some more appreciation/ sympathy.. it takes TWO people to make a relationship work, not just one. JA has not offered anything to the table so far. He is willing to Do anything for her, give up everything for her etc.. But she cant even fight for him ? Their relationship is so unbalanced...
I've just finished ep 12 (raw on my computer and english recap on my phone haha) and I think I heard her saying…
Im so dissapointed in JA, after all he Done for her/is willing to Do for her.. after all his unconditional love for her etc.. she does all THIS to him ?? I Dont care that its different culture or whatever, u SIMPLY Do not Do this to someone you claim to love.. this is not Joseon era !!
Honestly , after today’s episode Im sick of Jin Ah now. (And even from the preview) Joon Hee deserves a better woman. .someone stronger who Will love him unconditionally. How can i possibly root for this couple when JA doesnt seem to value JH even nearly as much as he values her??? She just hurts him, even after all he Done for her.. my heart bleeds for him, i Dont think i can continue watching ...next ep seems like she is breaking up with him over the phone?
