Bodies & Sexism [Representation in Dramaland]","description":"In Part 2 of Representation in Dramaland, we analyze the trend of very young female leads in contrast with their far older male counterparts, fat-shaming and beauty standards, and ableism, with specific examples of good and bad representation. We reflect on how K-dramas have evolved since we've started watching them, and conclude our exploration of representation with some thoughts on how these conversations often play out in the fandom (or don't), and how we might all approach these stories with more nuance, and our fellow fans with more kindness and respect.\n\nTIME STAMPS:\n\nSEXISM\n00:03:00 The infantilization and/or sexualization of young female leads\n00:03:32 Kim Yoo-jung & Ji Chang-wook in Backstreet Rookie\n00:04:35 Kim So-hyun & Yoon Doo-joon in Radio Romance\n00:05:30 The ickiness of waiting for child actresses to \"turn legal\"\n00:09:47 Jung Eun-ji & the creepy second male lead in Reply 1997\n00:22:05 Park Shin-hye & Kim Rae-won in Doctors\n00:23:42 Drama representations vs. real-life relationships\n00:30:14 Kim Go-eun and Gong Yoo in Goblin\n00:37:20 But why are we often okay with noona romances with high school male leads?\t\n\nBODY IMAGE\n00:43:20 Beauty standards and fat-shaming in Korean entertainment\n00:46:52 Kim Sun-ah in My Name is Kim Sam-soon\t\n00:51:00 Shin Min-ah in Oh My Venus\n00:54:45 Ha Jae-sook in Perfume\n00:57:55 My ID is Gangnam Beauty\n01:02:56 Eating disorders, Seo In-guk's struggle\n01:05:11 Birth of a Beauty \n01:05:52 Lee Young-ja in Hello Counselor\n\nABLEISM\n01:11:00 Fox Bride Star/Where Stars Land\n01:19:50 The Secret Life of My Secretary\n01:22:50 The Beauty Inside\n01:24:35 Trauma and mental illness\n01:28:00 What makes a drama \"too problematic to watch\"?\n01:32:00 The importance of creating space in fandom for these conversations\n01:34:30 Who we valorize on TV, and how that affects society, and who's responsible\n01:40:47 Context, change, and conclusions\n\nIn our extended show notes, you can find links to the articles we reference in the episode, additional points from us that we forgot to mention during the recording, and a complete list of listeners who sent feedback.
