Namjoon:-and I don't understand why she even liked him in the first place, I mean, he is a classic example of toxic masculinity, especially among men in Korea, but the other guy wasn't any better than him! Bossing her around, asking her for things that a manager should never ask from his employees, using manipulation to get her to do what he wanted - he was belittling her from day one! And what's UP with the abusive relationship between the mother and father?! Portraying physical and emotional abuse towards men as a joke only increases negative stereotypes and prevents us from evolving as a society-
Tae (to Jin): You said he wouldn't do it this time.
Jin: I know, I'm sorry. He can be a bit... Extreme, at least when it comes to old fashioned ideas of genders as portrayed in modern television
Tae: It's 'strong woman do bong soon', not an HBO documentary
Jin: Yeah.... I guess he just doesn't get it
Namjoon: What don't I get?
Jin: Honey! Umm, well... The thing is, we don't watch romantic K-dramas for the deep messages or for a sensible plot-
Tae: I mean, depends on the drama-
Jin: Yes, of course, there are many K-dramas that - wait, no, that's not the point. The point is, we usually don't search for dramas with any revolutionary themes
Namjoon: Oh. So what do you usually look for?
Jin: Romance-
Tae: - Cute boys- I mean AHEM yes the romance-
Namjoon: .......................Yeah, I get it
Jin: Really??
Namjoon: Totally! I mean, have you SEEN the CEO's butt? So cute!
Tae: Okay, the actor who played the CEO'S character was also in Hwarang with me, so don't make it weird
Namjoon: Yes, sorry, it was too much-
Tae: I'm KIDDING! It's not weird, he's my friend, and yes, he has an excellent butt! It's nice to the touch, too-
Jim: Okay, now it's DEFINITELY weird-
