No thoughts, head-empty... but seriously, what is this romantic relationship?

I think creators need to uphold moral responsibility while designing their characters. This felt like a horrible attempt at creating a 'badass feminist woman' because there is nothing badass about victim-blaming and acting crude towards survivors of sexual assault and/or individuals who are at risk for suicide.

And need I even get into the relationship dynamics of the two leads? We really did not need a student-teacher relationship. The professor obviously holds more power and authority, while the student just keeps invading her privacy. It is almost uncomfortable to watch because I just can't see those two bonding under any circumstances. Additionally, they keep repeating similar scenes, especially the one where Soo Jae gets in trouble and calls Gong Chan who rushes to save her. I have literally seen this at least thrice in the first seven episodes. Please stop this misery.

This drama could have focused more on courtroom cases and addressed the struggles of women in breaking the glass ceiling. Yet, it chose to divert all its attention toward some poorly formed romantic relationship that thrives in every conflict.
