I do not know why they are so fascinated with torture and rape. I really want to appreciate Lakorns because they have such pretty people... but it always comes down to rape.
My Thai friend says it has something to do with their conservative society, they said they do not want to see a woman willingly do anything intimate with a man because it seems slutty... but they STILL want to titilate the audience... so some genius went, "AHA! RAPE!"
I remember laughing my ass off in one of your random posts about how K-drama men should take advice from Lakorns... and just... UGH! YOU DONT LOVE ME!ISHALLRAPEYOU!WATCH!
Phil dramas used to delve in a lot of rape arcs but thank the lawd that has changed in the last ten years.
should take advice from Lakorns... and just... UGH! YOU DONT LOVE ME!ISHALLRAPEYOU!WATCH!
Just think how many drama problems it would solve if kdramas were like lakorns.
* Full House - what do you mean you did not clean the floor and why am I getting so confused between my feelings for you and Secondary Girl? RAPE shall clear my head!
* Chuno - stop holding onto your pet rock, woman! RAPE!
* Winter Sonata - this amnesia is troublesome. RAPE shall fix it.
* Sorry I Love You - I have a bullet in my head and you are the daughter of my Mom's driver. I want vengeance on her so I shall get it by raping you. WOOOOO!
I SHALL KIDNAP THIS RANDOM GIRL WHO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME AND HOLD HER TIED UP IN AN ISOLATED SHACK AS SOME SORT OF BIZARRE REVENGE AGAINST HER FATHER.
. . . Wasn't that the plot of the last lakorn you watched? The tied up in a shack and threatened with rape scene sounds horribly familiar.
Is this the Thai version of tropes such as accidental kisses and piggyback rides?!
It seems to be. But this makes even less sense - in that one he kidnapped the person he wanted vengeance on (except he was a moron and grabbed the wrong girl).
In this one, it's a daughter of the guy he wants vengeance on, and moreover she's never even seen the Dad and Dad doesn't have much interest in her (nor has he sent taunting letters to Dad or anything - I am not sure Dad even knows she is missing). All the while he could have gotten his hands on the other daughter, the one Dad brought up and loves, any time. This makes NO SENSE.
I read way too many "rape is love" romance novels when I was a teen, and now I get twitchy whenever there's so much as a suggestion of the hero being capable of raping his OTP.
The plot of this series sound stupid as well as icky.
Man, that picture is totally misadvertising the drama (I'm assuming it's from the drama. Now i'm confused as to whether that's coma fiance or gasp! "Hero" which makes the picture even worse) 'cos i thought it seemed nice and happy (ok, ignoring your text aside).
So from what you and Wolfie have watched Thailand should be full of transgendered ninja rapist ghosts. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
This is the sweet normal fiance. I would not post rapist pic anywhere on ym lj for fear of ulcers. It is totally false advertising - I read a summary about her having problems because her family is dead-set against a Korean. "Cute" thought I. Sort of like Hanoi Bride with Lee Dong Wook.
I thought the guy looked pretty cute too but man...
Maybe you should try Indian dramas. The heroines in those are stuck in some godawful situations and could probably exchanged with a doormat and no one would be the wiser. It's like i said in my LJ, they make Jandi and Minam look good. AND THAT'S NOT VERY HARD.
You know what? Start Seikei Bijin. It's fun and frivolous and totally 90s. You'll love it. Hopefully.
