Eye Sees You

Ppl complain tht she doesn't see the characters in the TV world as real but...yeah... Because it isn't real to her (also it's clear she doesn't care abt ppl in the real world either because she brushes her manager off who's genuinely worried abt her job). She's from "our" world and is basically treating the TV world like a video game. I'm only on Ep 10 but she keeps calling everything in terms of TV lingo like set, character, etc. She doesn't care abt anyone she just cares abt surviving and doing whatever she wants in the TV world.

Imagine if you got dragged into your least favorite drama??? She makes a lot of sense and tbh the other characters make sense too. They don't know they're just TV characters in a ridiculous melodramatic historical drama. They think they're real enough, but they're limited by the script too.

It's a 40 episode series so...it makes sense it's a slow burn but if you want a perfectly sweet and kind heroine to root for the show told you immediately this wasn't the show for tht.

I do agree tht this sort of character and plot is annoying, but like...also it's a hilarious show and I don't watch TV to be morally edified all the time? If the women of China wanna see FL be hot mess expresses why not? None of my business lmaoooo

I do find it interesting because I feel like Kdramas are very similarly mean to their male protags and the women tend to be ridiculously dumb and toxic but whatever they got going on in East Asia is none of my Black business. XD They got tht. I think the romance genre as a whole (or just romance plots in general) tend to skew toxic and borderline abusive when they attempt to be "girl power" like because grown adults should behave in certain ways and media has a way of writing relationships in very childish ways as if they're writing to appease people's inner teens and not grown ass adults mature media.

High school never ends tho so 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

I mean Bridgerton also had major issues in the first series and books. Adult media just has an issue depicting healthy romances. If the MLs aren't toxic then the FLs are toxic. The sad reality is people in general are just toxic and like to consume toxic ass media to reaffirm their toxic beliefs.

Ex. Ppl getting mad at the FL in this drama for being...a protagonist and not a heroine...As if A. All media needs to be a morality play and B. All women need to be perfectly moral and pure
