I was going to ignore that specific comment, and was doing a good job too. However, now I have to address that comment and your comment because you two are just simply inane thinking that you are in a position to tell anyone how to consume media.
Let me clarify my stance. What you’re not going to do is tell me how to consume any form of media. How I choose to engage with content, including its source, is entirely my business.
That said, I find it really concerning that a policy like this doesn’t exist in Korea. After reading more about the societal dynamics there—specifically the power struggles and hierarchical structures—it’s not surprising to see issues like workplace abuse. A lack of policies addressing these power imbalances only seems to reinforce these problems.
As for the media in question: yes, it’s porn, but I also value good storytelling, and in my opinion, this was a genuinely good story. If you didn’t enjoy it or don’t think it meets your standards, that’s your prerogative. We all have our own metrics for what makes something worthwhile, and this met mine. I brought up my observation because I thought it was worth discussing to see if anyone else noticed the same thing.
So, to reiterate: you are free to consume media however you want, just as I am. But what you’re not going to do is try to dictate how I choose to engage with it. Do with this comment what you will. Goodbye.
I don’t know Korean work culture, but don’t they have an HR department and, even if they don’t, wouldn’t their relationship be a hundred percent be going against policies? Like, he retained his job BECAUSE he was dating his boss, not in spite of it. Like, this is all very muddled.
