K-dramas are “Ruining Korean Women”? K-netizens Baffled by Expert’s Statement
A couple counseling expert recently claimed that K-dramas are ruining Korean women, which greatly confuses K-netizens.
On July 22, a topic titled “K-dramas are ruining Korean women” was published on the Korean forum “theqoo”, drawing massive attention with over 78,000 views and almost 1,000 comments.
The topic in question includes screenshots of a remark made by a couple counseling expert, who said that K-dramas are setting unrealistic fantasies about men, leading to Korean women being too nitpicky while dating.
In particular, the expert said, “Personally, I think the media has a huge impact. Men on K-dramas are just perfect to their significant others, to the point I always think that K-dramas are ruining Korean women. Recently, I watched the series ‘Lovely Runner’, and thoughI enjoyed it, I was perplexed… How can such a man exist in reality? A superstar who takes care of his girlfriend whenever he has time. Where does he find the time for that?”
Under the comment section, most K-netizens found the expert’s statement to be confusing, arguing that K-dramas make people dream of romance, not ruining them.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- What the hell is this person saying? Without K-dramas, no one would dream about romance anymore
- And why should K-dramas feature the shitty realistic men?
- K-dramas actually help with marriage because they make people dream about romances and happy endings that don’t exist in reality…
- Woah. Does this person think women can’t differentiate between reality and fantasy?
- Women watch K-dramas because they want to escape from the shitty men in reality
