The dramaaaa

Living for the drama this little trip brought. Honestly, I think this show is overdramatic and frustrating at times, but I can't deny that the drama is making up for it and making it fun to experience. Jooah's whole altercation with her assailant was hard to sit through because I feel like it really showed some of the issues I have with female characters in kdramas. This isn't me trying to victim blame at all, because obviously people can make odd choices when they panic and are in fight or flight mode, but I feel like there's more logical things that a woman in that situation would do, like instead of hiding quietly, I feel like most would run screaming as loud as possible to get someone's attention for help, and then when she was saved by Joon she wasted a lot of time just breathing and not saying anything or trying to point the guy out. He was still caught so that it doesn't change much, but it just kind of painted her as really incapable. And then the crying when Minho found her...this is more a nag on the acting, because the crying makes sense, but she was crying more like a whining baby rather than a woman experience and intense combo of fear, relief and trauma. And they moved on a little too fast for me, like emotionally anyway. But it made sense for them to move the plot forward. And I'm very intrigued as to what Joon is up to regarding Minho's apps that he develops. Haneul accidentally hugging Rosa while drunk was ridiculous, but I love it and Jooah kissing Joon, while stale, was also giving bc I just know Joon is up to something and Minho is gonna have a reaction to this.
