Heather can ask you your opinion on something I remember your run on posts they were always very thoughtful I loved them- Its about ABP some people are saying that SH shouldn't kiss back YS because she wasn't able to consent I don't know how to feel I start watching the drama bc of them but now I don't know what to think I feel bad ngl and worried about next eps too bc if they do the do :/ I even have doubts to continue watching idk how u feel?

Hello, of course, you can!

Note: please don't interact with this if you're going to be rude, I am happy to discuss things but we are all adults and not twitter stans so let's remember we're all people.

So, I do have thoughts on this but overall, I saw no issue with the kiss and that's because of a) context and b) nuance within realistic set-ups. as in my experience with similar events.

Context: both characters are clearly attracted to each other and are constantly shown to be respectful humans. SH literally chased down a gross man and helped bring him to justice in the same episode. YS has also been shown to be a confident pursuer. If anything, she has been the one 'crossing the line' as SH said before. Because of this context, the kiss is an accumulation of their back and forth. They have feelings and shockingly, when alcohol is involved, your brain says GO FOR IT.

Nuance: idk if anyone here has drunkenly kissed or confessed to a crush but...you're still in control of your actions. Being drunk doesn't equal a lack of ability to consent. If YS was unable to speak or literally asleep and he kissed her, yeah that's gross, but she took the first step and kissed him, and if anything, SH was surprised lol?

Personally, having been in similar situations, I've never felt my consent was disrespected. And I believe SH is a character who would never take advantage of a woman, given the effort he went through to assist her and help other victims of said creepy dude.

I do understand if people have issues with this because of their own experiences, that is a different thing entirely. But my opinion concludes: they're both consenting adults in a situation where feelings were heightened. In real life, a lot of the time you don't get a simple exchange of 'hello, i like you, please may i kiss you' ...wait for 5 seconds....kiss politely'. Consent is not just that, it is evident in your actions and feelings and trust of the other person. This is once again, my experiences of it, and although I am able to see other sides, I do not see any issues with the scene.
