My Korean-born wife and I watch a lot of K-dramas. Some hold my attention more than others: "Mr. Sunshine" is very good with some historical weigh to it, and "Crash Landing on You" is a DMZ, rom-com fantasy that's cute and entertaining. But some series are just a bit too culture-specific for this Chicago boy to grasp, which is fine. They are made for a Korean audience.
Early on, this esoteric aspect shows us the "wife swap" when the protagonist finds himself with the woman and life of his dreams. Of course, this rapture is short-lived. But we do get to experience his joy at indulging his video gaming addiction. But then when he's in bed with his new wife, he shies away and acts like prepubescent middle schooler. Hmmm. 99 out of 100 men would have looked to the sky and said, "Thank you, God" Before engaging their beautiful new wife with gusto. However, we soon see him back at the office literally playing grab-ass with his workplace buddy in the men's room.
What is wrong with this dude? I don't know if this bizarre prudishness is a function of Dragon Studios content censorship, but it makes for a very puzzling protagonist. My wife said disapprovingly "You wouldn't hesitate would you!" I replied "Of course, not. Why would I? She's my new wife." So maybe there's some cultural taboos I'm missing. But I just find it hard to identify with and cheer for a eunuch.
