Started watching Wedding Impossible because of beanies, but then I went onto tumblr to see what others had to say about it and let’s just say it wasn’t as wholesome/pleasant.
“The writer is homophobic and hates gay people. Why in the world would you villainize Do-han?”
“Our leads are dumb and selfish and deserve to die.”
“I will defend Do-han with everything.”
“Do-han needs to run and get away from his shitty family and trash bestfriend.”
“Ji-han is a self entitled brat and Ah-jeong is ridiculous for sneaking around with Ji-han instead of doing a better job at “acting.””
“I’m hate watching at this point because this show is so dumb and frustrating.”
You get the gist.
I guess this is just another reminder as to why I avoid watching dramas. Am I a bad person for thinking that Do-han was selfish to use Ah-jeong as a shield for his sexuality? Am I a bad person for wanting the fake marriage to go up in flames so the OTP can be happy? Are my morals messed up because I sympathize more with the main leads rather than the closeted second male lead?
The fear of saying things out of line or having to tread carefully around the topic of homosexuality/lgbtq+ representation because you don’t want to be the person who comments the wrong thing or is misunderstood and advocating for the wrong side.
Watching dramas have gotten to this point.
Regardless, since I’ve already watched all 8 eps so far, I do plan to finish the show. Because moments like the ending of ep 2 or the ending of ep 6 are reasons as to why dramas will always have a special place in my heart.
Tumblr & Facebook have a tendency to take everything to extremes. Check it out on here, the leads are getting a well deserved love from us.
Tbh, Do Han is like an employer who offers job to Ah Jeong, she signs up for it and only now is understanding what she has to give up for it. It is just an unfortunate situation for everyone involved.
I don’t think the takeaway here is that you shouldn’t watch dramas, but that maybe you should avoid tumblr, etc. if not entirely, then at least until you’re done watching and evaluating a show yourself. I can also understand the fear of saying the wrong thing or misrepresenting your own views on a sensitive topic that affects real people, but again, the solution there isn’t to not watch the dramas, but to be careful with how and where you talk about them.
Those comments harbour a lot of heterophobic feelings and should not be taken into consideration. Unfortunatelly, because of the liberal world we are living now, they have managed through their aggresiveness to shut up people, to change the way the majority lives and values. It feels more like we are living in an apartheid society where the minorities rule, and not in a democracy where the majority rules. Someone else’s lifestyle and values should not trump yours. You should not be afraid to speak up for your values and beliefs and you should not be afraid to embrace them. I have done it here and I have been acused of so many vile things right here on this site. Seems like there is no tolerance whatsoever from the other part if we don’t align to their ideology and lifestyles. So no, I will continue to be proud of what I am and what I believe in and let my voice heard even they accuse me of terrible things. Because they do it to cancel me out.

Just enjoy the show, if you like it 😊
I’m having a great time with this show and commenting it with other beanies.
