The Early Spring is a show about a man who says rude and nonsensical things whenever he feels intimidated, and a woman who enters into a relationship with her boss expecting a completely advantageous arrangement. She uses her sexuality to navigate her way out of sticky situations and consistently withholds important information from her boyfriend—both when it happens and even afterward, despite being asked. Forget friends with benefits; this is employee with benefits. The show seems to teach that a woman never needs to apologize, reflect, or reconsider her own behavior. Redemption is a man’s job. Even something as simple as calling a dog by BF's name is apparently not something she needs to reconsider —or even recognize as problematic. The man, naturally, is the one expected to reflect, change, and redeem himself.
