seriously disgusting
not enough people talk about the amount of SA in this show. why is it being romanticised and not taken seriously?
after reading some of the reviews it seems to me that the show doesn't address this issue in the later episodes but i admit i can't know for sure because i couldn't even get halfway through it. at first i tried to ignore it (which i shouldn't have) but by episode 6 or 8 it was making me too uncomfortable, i had to stop watching. all of the kisses were non consensual and one of the MLs kept forcing himself on the other ML while there was some romantic music playing in the background. it was disgusting as well as just... confusing, i guess? i mean, there's really nothing romantic about sexual assault.
i also think the gang rape at the beginning is very overlooked. there was really no chance for me to like chi cheng's character or root for him in the slightest after he allowed that guy to get raped. i don't have a problem with characters being flawed, i don't have to agree with them on all of their choices but one of the MLs doing something so horrible really threw me off.
ah seriously... i don't really know what else i could say at the moment. i'm genuinely just mad that this show gained so much popularity and also the way people talk about it, mostly ignoring these issues. so so disgusting.
!! i would also like to add that if you, by chance, enjoyed this show and want to recommend it to someone, please make sure that you mention the SA elements.
