PROGRESSIVE STORY, AND THE IDEAL MALE LEAD
Alright, I will tell you why you should be watching this drama right now;
1) the story is very progressive, in episode 2 there is a minor conversation between the characters which indicates a disregard for gender roles which I really liked, I mean gender roles really really need to be crushed. Then this is a story that has a lot of things going on and one of the most central parts of it is the uprisings that were going on in that time in 1980, it talks about students fighting for democracy and fighting against the injustices, and the male lead is not toxic which brings us to,
2) OK so the thing about male leads is that we have always been introduced to male leads who are shown to be powerful because they have a lot of physical strength, they are protecting the female lead using their physical strength (NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT JUST BE IT TO A CHARACTER) and imposing their masculinity in that way while they're protecting the female lead. their characters would be like extremely brooding, and arrogant to the female lead because they have had a bad past. The average rich guy who hates his parents for how unfair they are and so he is rude. We have been conditioned to like them because that's all that we have been introduced to but this male lead is different, he is a rich guy but he is not your average rich guy he is sweet smart, extremely smart, and he is handsome, he is protective, chivalrous he is I don't know if they will mention it in the future episodes or not but he is such a feminist, he is such a respectful human being, so respectful and so caring, thoughtful and observant, which makes him such a gentleman. I absolutely love love love the male lead and lee do hyun does an excellent job playing this character, with that sweet smile of his.
3) Strong female lead
4) There's a scene on a race track in the second episode, that scene is just so amazing and you learn so much from it about how should keep up the hussle till the very end.
5) IT'S A PERIOD DRAMA FFS
JUST WATCH IT
P.S I AM GONNA UPDATE A REVIEW AFTER EVERY TWO EPISODES I WATCH. SO FAR IT'S JUST BEEN 3
