Dramaworld (2016–2021)
4/10
Season 2 ruined by misplaced injection of feminism and emasculated male main characters
20 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Loved season 1. But the writing in season 2 has gone downhill fast. Whenever writers run out of ideas they inject politics as plot filler which is exactly what the writers did for season 2. And when feminism is added, logic is removed. Why can two average female characters beat up a handful of gangsters? Per the writers, "just because (female power or something.. who knows?)". For example, one line of dialogue about how Clair is not from dramaworld, so she has more control over the physics of dramaworld would have made that more logical. Not to mention, it's not heroic in the least to beat someone up for insulting or disrespecting you. It's childish. Somehow Park Joon is no longer masculine at all. How about Evan? Has the actor who plays him ever worked outside a day in his life? There's not a tough bone in his body. It's hard to relate to a character that seems to have had such an easy life that he could be so soft and feminine. Which reminds me again of the illogical nature of the story - why would a mob boss choose such a weak person to join his family? Answer: they wouldn't. Stories don't have to match the real world but they have to be explainable within the logic of the newly created world. In dramaworld, do gangsters prefer to have weak and useless gang members?
