Review Reply 1988
Thank you for this. I'm watching the show now and cannot understand why this is so beloved. NOTHING HAPPENS. The FL is irritating and unappealing and dumb as rocks. The attitudes towards women are regressive (the only woman who works in the neighborhood is the wife of the school principal and she's a bad mother who doesn't cook for her son and doesn't notice when he runs away because you can't work and pay attention to whether or not your child is home 😒). I also have a problem with how the show glossed over social problems. The student protests that Bo Ra participates in were hugely important - in 1987 they overturned the military dictatorship that ruled Korea at the time. But the show treats Bo Ra's political interests as trivial compared with her relationship with the boy next door. Anywho, thank you for your review and a chance to rant, I was starting to feel like a crazy person since everyone seems to love this show so much.
