Случайно зашла на один блог в поисках картинках и поняла, чего так долго жажадало моё сердце.
МОАР МОАР феминистского дискурса в корейщине!
-Based on reading blogs and comments there are a lot of women in the world that perpetuate and enable female second class citizenship.

-I realized how much Korean female characters and actresses are overlooked in discussion and commentary. To include my own neglect. And probably in this review. I could not for the life of me think of break out female actresses, besides thinking of the work that some of the child actresses were doing. It would be hypocritical to deny that I came to k drama for the hotties and the romance. But how can I say I want to see more developed and more interesting k drama female characters if I don’t give them more attention? I cannot do anything drastic about culture as a whole, but I can do something about what I do and how I comment on dramas to include more coverage of female characters and actresses. And maybe that is how changes begin?

I also want to rate dramas on strength of the female lead, and that means a empowered female lead that has agency, but I am working the kinks out on that scale. For now it will simply be Kim Sam Soon 1-10, and basically I am looking at the lead character damsel in distress level, ability to take care of herself, and owning her sexuality.
