I can’t stand the 2ML, his character drags this drama down. If he wanted the interactions between him and the…
I think it’s an Asian thing - where it’s sweet for a girl to pester a guy until she breaks down his walls and he ends up loving her? Loads of c-dramas have that trope. I’m Chinese and I don’t get it, but it is popular! A love so beautiful is basically this! A girl hopelessly harassing a guy 🤣
Just like what jihyuk sees in darim to fall that hard.
Ikr. I mean, great chemistry and I like watching, but he’s perfect. He’s rich, handsome, intelligent, competent, mature, and she’s… goofy, incompetent, timid, meek, not deeply in love with him for most of the series, and not even very convincing when confessing to him! And she’s about to just abandon him at the slightest sign of trouble without trying to work out a way to outsmart the people who are trying to hurt Ji Hyuk. Talk about useless 😩
So Noble idiocy coming next week.Well hopefully only for one episode. Still love this series but I so wish we…
Noble idiocy is so irritating. I just saw the preview and immediately flinched when seeing it. Frustrated!!
But to be fair, they do set Da Rim up to be a bit useless, not too smart, and a doormat. As much as I love their chemistry, we only saw a feisty Da Rim in the first 2 episodes. From episode 2, it’s been mainly this meek version who can’t sort out her own problems and has rock bottom self-esteem. The question then becomes, why does the ML even like her that much? And I can’t answer that, because she promised to never leave him alone, and here she is now leaving him alone 😩
it should be. it’s just unnecessary it’s her body no one else’s. haven’t watched any of the episodes yet…

Your post is incorrect. @cash-grab-man is correct, that the issue is an ethical grey area. He is not confusing biological fact with opinion, actually - you are.
You are convinced a ball of cells (zygote) is not a human because the law states that - but that is not what the law means. The law does not grant legal personhood to a ball of cells - that is true, but conversely it does not say you can treat it like it is nothing - it acknowledges that it is not a parasitic cancer, it is an entity on the spectrum of humanity - so the law grants a fetus a special status. That is why in almost all countries you cannot abort a child after 3 months without valid ethical justification (or even at all), or why there are special laws prosecuting the outcome of attacking a mother and killing the fetus inside her.
There is no equivalence in law between removing a fetus and removing a kidney. They are treated differently. Yes, there is bodily autonomy, but bodily autonomy is not absolute. The state always has reasons where it can limit those rights. Almost all countries have abortion laws - which exist only to limit your bodily autonomy because the fetus also has an interest in living.
I suspect you don’t hold the view that you put forward either, because it is very extreme - to view a fetus as nothing more than a parasite. It would allow you to dispose of a fetus that is capable of living with medical assistance. And there are people who are even more extreme than you, who believe that a child who is born is still dependant on its mother, and therefore should still be allowed to be killed - this is because your focal point is dependence on the mother - the fact that the baby is outside of the mother is irrelevant.
I am pro-abortion, but there is no need to be militant about it. Women who want abortion would agree that there should be a limit on abortion because once the fetus starts to take on recognisable form, it makes most people deeply uncomfortable. The law acknowledges that it is human to grant empathy to a mini human. You do not have to be religious to see that.
If he kept it professional, he would fire her instantly with the possibility of even worse consequences for fraud…
I’m a lawyer, and it’s fraud if you deceive for personal gain, so she is definitely guilty of that. It doesn’t matter if her application was good, being married was a basic requirement for the job.
It doesn’t matter a jot if the checks were not carried out - that’s an internal company issue.
But it’s not really relevant - the job requirement to be married in this drama is a plot device, used to create drama. Not to create HR discussions 🤣
For the record: The end of ep 9 forced stay and kiss is SEXUAL HARASSMENT; and furthermore, SEXUAL HARASSMENT…
I’d like to politely ask why you even watch kdrama romcoms if that is your view?
Almost all of them feature a surprise kiss, aggressive jealousy over minor things, treating partners like they own them, and boss/rich ceo poor employee.
Like i said in the post later, romcoms are written to let the audiences know the protagonists pov. If we learn two people like each other, it implies tacit consent - which is why we let our partners kiss or hug us without asking first. It’s the foreknowledge that the other person won’t mind that makes it acceptable.
In this particular instance we know that Da Rim doesn’t find him creepy or repulsive and won’t be traumatised by his kiss. Even if she didn’t find it appropriate at the time.
Consent is all about context. I’m a lawyer and I can tell you that consent is not objective, and the position of power argument is mainly used in relation to minor/adult relationships or teacher/student. Dating your superior is very common.
i love them sososo much and im so excited for tmr. but i can't help thinking that kiss was kinda harassment😔…
Everything can be interpreted as harassment or stalking unless explicit permission is given.
The key point of romcoms is that the viewer always has the pov of the protagonists - and we, the audience, know that they like each other. That’s why you can have surprise kisses and unexpected tension - whereas you would not have that in real life with someone you barely know!
Lord knows half of the romcoms where they pine for each other could easily be seen as unusually obsessive behaviour, if not for the fact it’s reciprocated.
I love CXX - was waiting until the end to see if I should watch or not. But from clips it doesn’t look like there’s a lot of romance. Is it mainly an action/adventure?
I am only watching clips - will binge once it’s all out. But I’ve just watched the clip where JH sees the kid call Da Rim Auntie. Is Da Rim dressed up to go to JH’s engagement party? Why does she look so happy??? 🤨 I feel like I’m not getting anything from the FL 😩 It’s such a flop when it’s just one person in love.

I love me a good romance!
Just when I thought I’d give up on Dynamite Kiss, this AI voiceover speculating the next episode has gotten me giddy expecting Da Rim’s apology 🤣🤣
Be Wednesday already!
