I continue to like this show, but there are some things that made me uncomfortable in the third episode.
First, we know the FL is a badass. Did we really need a scene where she kicks the asses of three stereotypical African American thugs in NYC? POC are already so underrepresented in kdramas that it hurts to see that in the very brief moments they’re on-screen, it’s in the same old uninspired, offensive ways.
Second, I’m not sure I can get behind Do Bae Man. Initially, I thought his goal in trying to work with the Chairman was to dismantle systemic corruption from the inside. But it seems like I was completely wrong–he just wants a high paying, prominent job, even if the guy he’s representing is a disgusting rapist with Mommy issues. Am I missing something here? If not, then Do Bae Man knows exactly what the chairman did and still wants to spend his life slavishly getting him out of trouble. And that’s hard to swallow in a hero.
I understand that he’s now going to be forced to work with the FL to bring down guys like this, but the fact that he could so easily shrug off that violent rape is hard for me to overlook.
