Their Report Card (2022)

Premetto che non sono un amante del genere eros ma ho voluto cmq provare questo drama che un po' lo richiama. Le premesse erano davvero interessanti, soprattutto per l'argomento protagonista ovvero mettere al primo posto o cmq elevare il piacere sessuale delle donne ad un altro livello. Ho trovato interessanti le protagoniste, l'una l'opposto dell'altra in ogni cosa e principalmente in questa: una legata al fidanzato con cui non prova piacere da cinque anni, l'altra che fa del sesso il proprio passatempo e non cerca una relazione stabile. Mi sono piaciute però fino ad un certo punto, un po' come il drama stesso. Secondo me non riesce ad essere convincente fino i fondo perchè cmq sul finale sembra sempre divergere verso quella mentalità chiusa coreana, o cmq fa retrocedere le protagoniste (una soprattutto) di tanti passi indietro quanti ne avevano fatti in avanti. Nel complesso non è una brutta opera ma non mi ha convinta del tutto. Cmq carina da vedere e interessante sotto certi aspetti. Ah, cercate di guardarlo in casa o cmq con cuffie perchè le scene esplicite ci sono e pure tutti i versi.

What we should ALL be talking about

I want to talk about this drama with someone so badly!

When I saw the trailer I wasn't sure if I would like or watch this drama, but I'm so glad I am. The sex scenes are so well placed and tastefully done. The last scene in episode 4 is a MASTER class in the female gaze. I felt like I was watching a truly intimate and life changing moment instead of just a sex scene, if that makes any sense.

The story follows two women, one (Hee Jae) who is waking up from a five year loveless relationship and another (Min Na) who is not chasing love but sex. The two women are charged with hosting a podcast on sex in which they share topics and views with thier audience.

I love the premise, I believe you have to be a person coming out of a long term relationship or a person who has been in a long term relationship to truly empathize and understand how Hee Jae feels when she realizes her relationship has been one-sided and how selfish her partner was. For Min Na, I love the portrayal of a woman taking charge of her sex life and going after what and who she wants in a safe manner. I also like how the author, In Chan, talks about sex in the age of social distancing and how as human beings we long for touch.

As of this writing, I've only watched up to episode 4 but I'm hoping they continue to push the subject of healthy sex between couples and partners and to show that sex isn't anything to be ashamed of.

Update as of Episode 5 & 6:
Ok, I love this drama! The male leads are walking green flags.

Hee Jae chasing In Chan to be FWB (Friends with Benefits) is so adorably cringy. I like the role reversal where the man wants to fall in love and not just have sex. In Chan is genuinely showing Hee Jae that he wants to date her and fall in love not just have sex with her.

Min Na falling for Dr. Cha is unexpectedly cute. Her backstory was heartbreaking.

I dare say this drama is turning into a healing drama.
