Oh sure, I definitely felt like there were parts I was missing due to cultural ignorance... but hey, I could still appreciate a story about two queers falling in love and escaping/defeating all who oppose them!
It's true, Ha Jeong-woo is a very handsome guy... but he did too good a job! His character was just so AWFUL that's all that stuck with me, haha! I never knew you could make biting into a peach so REPULSIVE!
That's a place where being abused can make an already painful and confusing situation even worse for queer people, I think, because the victim might not know where the abuse ends and they start. When Hideko realized that she could enjoy sex, just with Sook-Hee and not Fujiwara or any of the guys who perved on her, that would have been a huge moment of realization.
Oh man, it's so true! I remember when the light dawned with Mac--that I could be interested and enjoy myself, just as long as it was with HIM! It was like a whole new happy world had been opened to me!
