They do. The officials and imperialist lackeys in this show are constantly beating their own records for malevolence, cruelty, and ability to disgust me. I know I should write about positive things, like this show convincing me that Mok-dan does love Kang-to, but OMG the whole comfort women plotline is just... ugh! I know that the Japanese forced ( Read more... )

I love this write-up!

I agree, I am burned out on Shunji in terms of feeling anything - I am not even mad when he does his dastardly deeds because I expect nothing else.

If you want another drama that deals with comfort women, 1992 drama, Eyes of Dawn, deals with that and occupation/war in general. Very grim but very worth watching.

Thanks :D

Sometimes I feel like Shunji's evilness is overdone. I mean, how can a person turn from kindergarten teacher who loves kids to a complete monster because he wants to avenge his brother? I wish the writers made Shunji a morally conflicted villain because he was such a good person. But yeah, right now I'm just too tired of his antics to feel anything.

Thank you for the rec. Do you know where I can dl Eyes of Dawn?

We're sharing a brain because I agree with everything you wrote.

I also want to see Rie struggle with the choices she's made and have a moral dilemma. I would really like to see her on KT's side. What will she do now that her world has been shaken by the discovery that he is her enemy? I'm eager to see where this will go.

The comfort women plotline made me sick and pretty much made my list of people I want to see die triple in size. Shunji remains on the top for being completely past redemption. I loathe him so.

I love that Mok-dan and Kang-to are working together for the same cause. It gives me the sense that because something other than pure feeling binds them together, they're never really apart.

ITA. And in a way, I feel that they're stronger and more focused now that they're together, whereas before, in order to protect the other (KT with Mok Dan and Mok Dan with Bridal Mask) they acted with a sort of foolish reckless abandon.
