Sexual assault is not a joke.
TW: SA
I had originally been looking forward to watching this because of the female lead, but this is the worst K-Drama I've ever seen.
I was taken aback by the depiction of Africa. The stereotypical "Lion King" style of music, the yellow filter, acting like it's a generic undeveloped country, while the male lead is some "white savior" was crazy. Knowing it was only going to be part of the drama briefly, I decided I would try to keep watching... But it only got worse.
Sexual assault is not a joke! In Episode 2, the female lead was chased into a bathroom by the male lead (YES, THE MALE LEAD), who literally corned her in there. He begins to remove his belt to expose himself to prove to her that he's “sterile" as he's angry that reports were released, claiming that he is a eunuch (a typo). She looked horrified, shielding her eyes! If it wasn't for her coworkers rushing in, he really would have exposed himself. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen in a K-Drama. I could tell it was meant to be jokey. I don't know if the viewers were supposed to be okay with it because the two characters had history, but it wasn't okay! How can I continue to watch a K-Drama and root for this couple to happen when the male lead sexually harassed the female lead?
I've never dropped a K-Drama so fast in my life after that!
