[luckycheesefoodie321]

I’ve only watched the first ep of Ms Hammurabi and I can already tell Park Cha Oreum is gonna be my QUEEN which is only right since she’s played by Go A Ra...

She went and used manspreading against some dude who didn’t understand the concept of common courtesy for fellow passengers

She stopped a perv from palming some poor lady by recording the video and calling attention to it by pretending the girl had been rubbing her but against his hand (as it turns out this trash old man was a professor of ethics?!?!?)

When the old man tried to take her phone from her and people around her (predominantly men) went to stop him (including our male protagonist), Oreum took care of business herself and knee’d him right in the balls, subsequently becoming an Internet sensation

When later confronted by her immediate superior about the videos that had circulated online of her taking down the pervert and were commenting on how a judge shouldn’t be that violent, her boss whose name I can’t remember yet told her she should have just called the police and left it alone. In addition he victim shamed the girl who had been harassed for her “provocative” clothing and she should dress more appropriately if she doesn’t want to be preyed on (you can bet I had some choice words to say about this whole scene)

In response, my home girl Oreum rocks up the next day in a “mini skirt” and heels, catching the gaze of many men both on the train and at the office (literally everyone was freaking out over what I thought was actually a pretty modest outfit??? The heels weren’t like stilettos and were pretty office-appropriate, and she was wearing tights with her skirt and the skirt wasn’t all that short??? Why everyone was going wild idk)...it even caused our male protagonist Im Ba Reun to cough awkwardly at the sight of her exposed but fully covered in black tights LEGS OH SHOOK...as well as try in vain to hide said legs from the ogling crowd while they waited for the elevator

When confronted by her boss about her attire, she politely and with allll the hidden sarcasm acknowledged his displeasure with her outfit, went to go change and came back in a full black burqa (pretty sure that’s the right one but correct me if I’m wrong) in retaliation

TO PARAPHRASE MY GURL AS SHE SPINS TO LET THEM WITNESS THE FULL OUTFIT: “Of course, this is much better. Women should never show skin, right? Men aren’t the ones at fault, are they?”

EDIT: though intentions were valid, burqa move was hella innappropriate, just wanna say this now a couple years after watching the show, genuinely forgot I wrote this post but thought I should put this out there... women who wear head, face or full body coverings and women who don’t are both equally utilising their own bodily autonomy to exercise their personal sense of modesty and comfortable attire... the final message of this scene should still be taken seriously “women should be able to dress how they like and men should take responsibility for their behaviour that tries to put the blame on women” without using what another women would find comfortable as a tool and spectacle to prove this point...

Kdrama Sexist/Toxic Male Lead Tropes

(originally made this post as part of another post about Run On but it got to be so long I just thought I��d made this list it’s own post)

-Possessive and easily jealous, and this is often played off as romantic. For a large portion of kdrama watchers who are younger, and for the majority of us who aren’t chased all the time by hot men, this toxic trait can easily be sold to us as an exciting and flattering trait. But this is in fact not respectful of the female lead’s autonomy. I enjoy the little humorous jealousy moments, (I am reminded of Crash Landing on You) but too often this leads to the classic “two male leads each grab the innocently wide eyed female lead and glare at each other” trope. Women are not ropes to play tug of war with! If jealousy over the instances like the girl simply having a conversation with another guy rupture into real problems in the relationship it is not romantic, but possessiveness is often mistakenly portrayed as an expression of love, when really possessiveness is just that: possessiveness over an object.

-Uses violence to solve problems. This is another thing that can be easily seen as flattering--someone is willing to go to great lengths to protect you/defend your honor/whatever the reason is for the male lead to use violence. This trope was deconstructed in the American movie 500 Days of Summer, where the male lead punches a guy “to defend the honor” of the female lead, but she when she is upset and embarrassed at the situation, he gets angry at her for not being excited over his violent sacrifice.

-The typical “tsundere” narrative of abusive language, but paired with romantic gestures, usually the Grand Romantic Gesture trope. I see this all the time, where the guy berates the girl, sometimes to point of just full on bullying, but then he throws his jacket at her when she’s cold, holds the umbrella over her while he gets wet, etc., In other words he may be verbally abusive but it doesn’t matter because he Truly Loves her. And that she should accept that and understand that about him and not expect him to be polite and respectful.

-He treats everyone but the female lead like trash. Well...he often treats the female lead like trash at first too, but this quality is also marketed as flattering. He treats everyone badly but you’re different! In reality this is super toxic. In fact, it is essential that a person treats *everyone* with decency if they are to meet the baseline requirements of being a person capable of giving and receiving love in a healthy relationship.

-He chases her one sidedly. Oftentimes he chases her even when she rejects him, which shows that dominating, male persistence is a behavior to be rewarded. Again, this is a fantasy easily marketable when many of us aren’t chased around by hot men. It is flattering for a person to be so interested in us that they are incredibly persistent, but this fantasy had very unhealthy, and even harmful real life connotations. There is a very important line between friendliness/respectful attention/flirting, and creepy and domineering. I think it is also equally important to note that in this toxic trope, it is important to teach both men and women that no means no and yes means yes. Not that you can’t have playful/teasing banter, but playing hard to get when you really want to be gotten, is an unhealthy coping mechanism for cowardice in relationships.

I think for this one as with other tropes on this list, it appeals to our childish, insecure, and relationship-immature side of ourselves that would rather have everything fall into place than be honest, vulnerable, and have agency in our romantic interactions. What I mean is, the fantasy of a hot male lead persistently pursuing us after a destiny meet cute is a fantasy where we don’t ever have to put ourselves out there. Where don’t have to consciously try to meet new people, express interest in others, set boundaries, i.e. do the hard work of negotiating our place within other people’s lives.

The hallmark of a bad drama for me is when the give and take between the male and female lead is: the female lead has to put up with the meanness and constant mistakes of the male lead as he hurts her (usually in tangent with the Noble Idiocy trope, where he breaks up with her and steps all over her “for her own good” for some bs reason), but in return she gets the Grand Romantic Gesture, and the male lead does most of the chasing. In a healthy relationship, there aren’t constant hurtful arguments, and both do an equal share of the “chasing,” or a better term would be meeting each other halfway in expressing interest in the other.

-Power imbalance. It really disturbs me how Kdramas fetishize power imbalances between male and female characters to create the helpless/incompetent/somehow indebted but also plucky/cheerful/abuse-taking female lead. This can manifest itself very overtly in the many Kdramas between CEOs and secretaries, which I still cannot believe are popular in 2021. Secretary Kim did a better spin on the usual trope--the secretary holds the power of being very good at her job, and therefore indispensable and respected in her own right, but it remains a mystery to me why these super narcissistic and childish CEOs are played off as “adorable manchilds” that always need a little soothing of their ego. But to return to the power imbalance, besides obvious power imbalances of wealth/power/etc., oftentimes the guy has supernatural powers, or by nature of his job has abilities that render him the “protector” in the relationship (My love from another star, descendants of the sun), or the girl is infantilized in some way to need to protection from the male lead (legend of the blue sea, she is a mermaid and therefore dependent on the male lead for guidance in the human world, bring it on ghost as well). I think these latter power imbalances are constructed into the setting of the story because more overt forms of power imbalances are frowned upon now, but they serve the same patriarchal purpose. 

This power imbalance inevitably leads to the female lead putting up with some abuse from the male lead because she “needs” him for some other end, and him holding his power over as a way to keep her close. It fits very well into the enemies to lovers trope in this way, especially some contractual enemies to lovers, where due to the power imbalance he is able to exploit/use her in some way, and keeps her close, and she hates him but has to put up with it for her own survival in some way, but they slowly fall in love. It’s super toxic and not at all romantic because they didn’t choose each other at all, they just were pushed together by circumstance, but again it buys into our fantasy of falling in love due to circumstance, rather than our own agency.

-Overly protective (OP) vs respectfully supportive. (RS) Essentially I can divide Kdramas into these two categories, OP and RS. OP romances can commonly be found in love triangles (where jealousy flourishes) and high school romances (where characters usually have less of a personality lol), and RS relationships are more common in working adult romances, where each character is pursuing their career/dreams and they support each other in those dreams. OP relationships infantilize the female character, render her as just an object in need of saving, and power dynamic between the leads is usually he constantly needs to save her, and in return she “softens”/“heals” him which, under deeper analysis, reveals itself to be quite an insidious and harmful stereotype, the kind of psychology that keeps women in domestic violence relationships. RS relationships are also better in that the leads have something going on outside of their romance, and are motivated beyond just ending up together. My favorite of RS relationships are Miss Hammurabi (two judges that work together to confront injustices in the judicial system), Run On (two leads from v different career fields, but they take interest and support each other throughout career ups and downs), and Hello My Twenties (probably my favorite example of an RS male lead--Sungmin supports Song as she uncovers her past traumas and stands up to an abuser, but does so following her lead and not doing her work for her, but rather simply staying by her side supportively).

Conclusion

This is not all the toxicity in the kdrama world--this is just what I can come up with off the top of my head as my least favorite tropes that disempower women and glorify toxic men and toxic relationships. And of course this is not a problem unique to Korea, and is by no means a condemnation of Korean culture, etc., but I simply happen to enjoy the aesthetics and innocence (compared to American shows haha) of Kdramas, so that is the entertainment world I am familiar with, and feel able to comment on.

Drama rec masterlist | Drama rant thread (beware of spoilers)

Overall, I was surprised by how much I liked this drama. It usually takes a bit more action and, well, drama, to keep my attention, and while there was sometimes I felt a little bored, this was a lot better than I expected. It took until episode 3 for it to really catch my attention, though.

The drama is from 2018, and it reflects in the different cases we go through - the problems are still very real and very relevant even today. The overall theme is being a woman in a male-dominated world, where everyone is against you from the start even when the woman is supposed to be the victim - not being taken seriously after a rape, or being accused of murder after killing your abuser.

It also deals with the toxic workplace environment in which people are expected to give up everything for their job, and the belief that no matter how hard you work, you can always work harder.

It's very much a drama that touches on the idea of justice, of right and wrong. There is never just one story but unless you care enough to actually find them all, what is justice in the end?

It also shows that sometimes, even though it should be the right thing to do, you have to choose your battles. Oh-reum often rushes head-first into battle without thinking of what consequences it might have on not just her, but the people around her. So was it worth the fight in the end? It's a very interesting take and really made me think about what was the actual right thing to do.

Justice should be about right and wrong, but in the end, it's about power and money. You can do everything by the book and still not win.

Also, the last thing I want to touch on is the fact that Im Ba-reun is an excellent male lead. He recognized that he was idolizing a version of Oh-reum that was no longer her, and he took the time to change that. He respected her boundaries throughout the entire drama and never let his feelings for her cloud his judgment. And he supported her when she needed it, but also called her out on her bullshit when she was being too reckless.

The romance of the drama never took away from the actual message and was only a nice little addition that made me smile.

I feel this drama would be good for someone who's not really sure if dramas would be something they could watch. It's not big and flashy, but a drama doesn't always need that to be good.
