Love Is For Suckers

It had been a while since I watched a nice romantic comedy. It had a little bit of everything and there was substance in the plot. I liked the characters and their stories. The friendship between Jae Hoon and Yeo Reum feels natural and genuine. And I like the quartet of high school friends: Yeo Reum, Jae Hoon, Dae Shik and Hye Jin.

You could say this series is divided into two parts. The first one is where we see Jae Hoon's love for Yeo Reum. The friendship that he doesn't want to cross, afraid of being rejected because she is still hung up on the finance who left her. Kim In Woo returns after living in the United States for many years. He now wants to get back together with Yeo Reum. She goes back to him mostly because she keeps thinking about how they were before he left. She doesn't want to face the fact that they have both changed.

The second half of the series focuses on how Yeo Reum realizes and faces the fact that she is in love with Jae Hoon. And this happens in the process of producing Kingdom of Love 2 where he became a participant to replace a person who left at he last minute. But in this reality show will also be participating the young woman his mother made him have a blind date with months ago.

Here we are introduced to another set of characters that also caught my attention. I became invested in Ji Wan's and Chef John's story. Chef John, who had been a jerk in the first part of the series, gets to show us a different side of him that makes us forget that first side we saw earlier.

I won't go into too many details, but I liked how each character faces their sadness, difficulties and move on. I like the fact that those characters we learned to care for have their happy ending.

This is a really sweet story and I recommend it!

I really do not care about Muan and his illegitimate baby. At all. And who do they thing they are fooling? Trying to hide a baby in the palace.

The episode was decent, outside the baby nonsense.

As expected, the Physician Kwon is the former Queen’s son. And it’s all but confirmed he is the father of Prince Useless.

The one thing that has me concerned is the unnamed favour that the previous Queen asked Hwa Ryeong.

Oh, almost forgot. Cheong Ha asking the Queen if Seongnam knows about sex and then chiding the Queen for not teaching him was hilarious to me.

“Under the Queen’s Umbrella” is my top pick of 2022. If you’re looking for a fantastic series to watch, this sageuk/사극 (or historical drama) is difficult to beat. Kim Hye-soo is magnificent as a queen whose sons’ lives (and her own) are in danger if the Crown Prince dies. She is whip smart and almost always one step ahead of her enemies, who want to destroy her family to elevate their own.

Synopsis

This KDrama was aired on October 15 of 2022, going for 16 episodes.This drama is set on a fictional Joseon dynasty, with a strong queen who would give up all protocols as she struggles to make her trouble making sons into princes.

Opinion

This is a very good series, I binge watched it in a few days. I loved the queen! How strong, resourceful, and independent she was. I loved all the characters, especially the queen and prince Seongnam. I also loved how the king was very supportive of her. The series had a lot of different topics, from motherhood to sexuality. It's a drama series. There are no gore or sex scenes. I recommend this series to anyone who likes history dramas.

literally only 2.5 eps into under the queens umbrella and fully ready to go to bat for im hwa-ryeong and her sons

Under the Queen's Umbrella

In this entry, I will evaluate the critical questions: What gender/sexuality norm is constructed or undone in this artifact, how is it rhetorically done, and/or how does it promote a dominate ideology over a marginalized group or push back against the ideology or gender norms? Is it productive/unproductive (ethical/unethical)?

To investigate these questions, I examined the 2022 South Korean television series Under the Queen’s Umbrella as my rhetorical artifact. This entry aims to explore how the Queen challenges established protocols, champions female empowerment, and sets a precedent for women to assert their agency within a patriarchal framework. This representation challenges our understanding of gender roles in historical context and resonates with contemporary discussions on gender equality and women's empowerment, which aligns with the more progressive perspectives on gender of today’s society.

"Under the Queen's Umbrella" intricately weaves the gripping tale of Queen Im Hwa-ryeong's journey within the intricate corridors of Joseon-era Korea's royal court. The story begins with the crown prince's critical sickness, which throws the kingdom into a dangerous power struggle for succession among Hwa-ryeong's remaining sons. The customary norms of royalty conflict with the harsh realities of life in this ruthless environment, where merit-based appointment competes with the tremendous challenge provided by the king's kids from several concubines. Once firmly established in the regal comfort of her status, Hwa-ryeong is confronted with the hefty consequences of her previous actions. In the face of this heated war for the crown, her neglect of her other boys' schooling, sometimes pushed to the periphery as 'spares,' proves to be a disastrous blunder. Her tumultuous relationship with the Queen Dowager raises the stakes as the Dowager wants to establish her preferred candidate on the throne, posing a direct danger to Hwa-ryeong's bloodline. Kim Hye-soo's portrayal of Hwa-ryeong is intriguing in its depth. She is portrayed as a woman of measured grace, balancing royal poise with a mother's unfailing affection. When her children's lives are at jeopardy, however, her tenderness and maternal instincts emerge, leading her to make decisions that question her very identity. The series digs expertly into the deep web of royal politics, revealing the cunning tactics of power-hungry personalities such as the Queen Dowager, who defies the stereotype of the wicked mother-in-law. Her swift manipulation and willingness to abandon individuals who no longer accommodate her goals add to the narrative's suspense. "Under The Queen's Umbrella" focuses on the visceral test of maternal instincts in the midst of historical power struggles. The narrative throws Hwa-ryeong into a moral quagmire by comparing her modern troubles with the blood-soaked tapestry of the court's succession history. It makes her rethink the extent to which she is prepared to compromise her convictions for the sake of her boys' survival, all while tormented by the shadow of history's merciless cycle.

In Undoing Gender (2004), Judith Butler discusses the intricate landscape of gender and sexuality, highlighting the transformative process of undoing restrictive norms. They elucidate the nuanced experiences of becoming undone, exploring the duality of these experiences—how adherence to societal norms can erode one's individuality while rupturing these norms might inaugurate a newer, more livable identity. Gender is depicted as an ongoing performance within societal constraints, emphasizing the improvisational nature of its enactment in relation to others. The text also probes the intrinsic link between desire and recognition, underscoring the differential recognition that shapes one's inclusion within the spectrum of humanity. This critical examination extends to the idea of maintaining a distance from normative constraints, seeking alternative norms conducive to sustaining oneself while challenging prevailing paradigms. Butler states that “As a result, the "I" that I am finds itself at once constituted by norms and dependent on them but also endeavors to live in ways that maintain a critical and transformative relation to them.” (p.3) The individual ('I') is intricately tied to and reliant on norms while endeavoring to maintain a critical stance towards them. This paradox forms the basis for critique—interrogating and challenging the constraints imposed by prevailing norms to cultivate inclusive conditions that embrace diverse modes of living. Moreover, it draws from the complexities of the 'New Gender Politics,' emphasizing the coexistence and intersectionality of movements concerning transgender, transsexuality, and intersexuality rather than a linear succession of frameworks, culminating in a rich tapestry of gender discourse and lived experiences. Consider the intersex movement's resistance against coercive surgeries aimed at normalizing bodies with sexually indeterminate features. This resistance challenges the idealized human anatomy and advocates for inclusivity, acknowledging the continuum of human morphology and affirming the livability and flourishing of intersex individuals. This critique exposes how norms governing idealized human forms create differential perceptions of humanity and livability, extending to various disabilities as well.

The first thing we will discuss about the movie Under the Queen's Umbrella is one of the movie's promotional posters (which is also the image I attached to this entry.) In the poster, we can see it is divided into 2 parts. In the above part, there is a woman who looks dignified and serious in a red hanbok, her eyes reflecting the solemnity of an exemplary queen of Joseon. But below is a contrary image, with her hands instead of being clasped together and hidden in the hem of her shirt like the way of noble Korean women in the past, we can see she is holding the hem of her dress, the image has a lot of movement with dust flying everywhere and her shoes are exposed: that is the act of running. Generally speaking, regardless of the empire, in ancient times, noble women were stereotyped as having to walk lightly to show decency, and one had a special status. Like the Queen, she has to try even harder to show it. However, Queen Hwa-ryeong was portrayed as divided into two contrasting parts, which suggests undoing restrictive norms associated with gender and sexuality, highlighting the experiences of becoming undone, both positively and negatively. “And sometimes the very terms that confer "humanness" on some individuals are those that deprive certain other individuals of the possibility of achieving that status, producing a differential between the human and the less-than-human.” (Butler, p.2) In the case of the Queen, even though she has a high status, one thing is certain: she always has to endure negative criticism for her lack of decorum and not aligning with "queen-ness." This concept fully applies to what Butler is trying to point out, that conforming to normative gender constructs can sometimes undermine one's personhood while rupturing these norms may lead to a newer, more livable identity.

The second thing I want to comment on is the scene at minute 18:08 of episode 12 of the drama, which is a scene in front of a jewelry store, a man trying to pay a very low price to buy a woman’s brooch made of gold. The reason he gave for paying a ridiculous price for the brooch was because the woman was kicked out of the house by her husband because she could not have children. A young noble lady saw the discontent and stood up for the woman. The young lady used the act of rubbing the golden brooch on the ground to the astonishment of the onlookers, and then asked if anyone wanted the brooch. The crowd expressed that if they were given it, they would all want a gold brooch, because after all it is still gold and gold has value. That is also what the young lady wants to prove, that even if the woman cannot give birth, she still has her own value and that cannot be changed. Butler also addresses this issue at the bottom of page 2: "This means that to the extent that desire is implicated in social norms, it is bound up with the question of power and with the problem of who qualifies as the recognizably human and who does not.” Gender is depicted as an ongoing performance situated within societal constraints. It involves improvisation within limitations and is not crafted in isolation but in relation to or for others, real or imaginary. This depiction of gender as an ongoing performance within societal constraints suggests a fluid and dynamic interplay between individual identity and social constructs. It's an improvisational act, not confined to a static mold, but rather adapting and evolving within the limitations imposed by societal norms. This perspective of the noble lady from the scene challenges the notion of a fixed or inherent gender identity, highlighting instead the ever-changing and dialogic nature of how individuals navigate and negotiate their gendered existence within the fabric of Joseon’s society, as well as the current society.

Continuing with that scene, the incident in front of the jewelry store was fully witnessed by the Queen while wearing civilian clothes to find a fiancee for her crown prince's son. That girl turned out to be the daughter of a war official. So the Queen drank tea with the girl to get to know her. They discuss the so-called "Seven Valid Causes of Divorce" law, which are the reasons that Joseon men can legally divorce their wives, including cases where the woman cannot bear children. The Queen also pointed out that besides the 7 reasons men can divorce, there are also "Sambugeol" - Three Exceptions, which are 3 cases where a man cannot leave his wife even if she violates the other 7 rules. The Three Exceptions are likened to the 3 shields given to women by society to resist the 7 spears that threaten her. The noble lady expressed the opinion that this was still not fair, because compared to 7 spears, 3 shields were too few for a married woman to defend herself. The discussion around these laws, particularly the "Sambugeol" or Three Exceptions, parallels Butler's notion of The 'I' and Paradox of Norms (p.3). Societal constraints being countered by limited shields granted to women to resist the multitude of spears threatening their marital stability. This dialogue becomes a poignant reflection of societal inequities, as the noble lady rightfully points out the inadequacy of three shields against seven spears, highlighting the imbalance of power and protection afforded to married women. This expression resonates with Butler's concept of maintaining a critical stance towards norms, as it unveils the inherent imbalance within the societal framework, calling for a reevaluation of these norms to establish more inclusive conditions that empower and safeguard diverse modes of living.

The portraying of Queen Hwa-ryeong and her rhetoric serves to shed light on the discrepancies and imbalances present in the legal framework, advocating for a more equitable system. This discourse can be empowering for women by validating their concerns and encouraging a reevaluation of societal norms that disproportionately disadvantage them. It prompts a reconsideration of established norms and may lay the groundwork for future reforms aimed at providing better protection and rights for women. However, while the Queen's message is progressive and aims at advocating for gender equality, it may not lead to immediate change or systemic transformation. Regardless of the Queen's rhetoric being reinforced by the young noble lady we have learned about, in a deeply entrenched patriarchal society like Joseon, challenging long standing norms can face resistance and might not translate into immediate societal shifts. Moreover, her discussion might be perceived as challenging the existing power structures, potentially inviting backlash from those vested in maintaining the status quo. Additionally, the Queen's efforts, while well-intentioned, might be limited in their effectiveness due to the constraints of her own position. Her ability to directly impact systemic change might be restricted by the hierarchical and conservative nature of the society she resides in, where entrenched norms and power dynamics hinder swift reforms. While the Queen's rhetoric and message serve as a catalyst for dialogue and awareness about gender inequalities, the actual impact on societal change might be gradual and limited due to entrenched power structures. Nonetheless, her efforts contribute to a broader conversation on women's rights, laying the groundwork for potential future advancements in gender equality within the society.

In Butler’s same work, she states “Gender is the apparatus by which the production and normalization of masculine and feminine take place along with the interstitial forms of hormonal, chromosomal, psychic, and performative that gender assume.” (p.42) Gender operates as a framework that constructs and normalizes notions of both masculinity and femininity, encompassing a wide range of factors such as hormonal, chromosomal, psychological, and performative aspects. However, limiting gender exclusively to the binary of "masculine" and "feminine" overlooks crucial variations. This oversimplification disregards the contingent nature of this binary, neglecting the diverse permutations of gender that exist beyond its confines. Gender encompasses a spectrum that extends beyond the normative binary, acknowledging and validating identities that don't conform to traditional standards, highlighting their integral place within the broader concept of gender. This aligns with the ideas discusses above by highlighting how societal norms shape gender within a binary framework of masculinity and femininity. However, it also challenges this binary view by acknowledging that gender extends beyond these norms, underscoring a paradox where individuals both conform to and seek to expand these limitations. This resonates with Butler's concept of gender as performative within societal constraints, while advocating for the undoing of normative conceptions to embrace a more inclusive understanding of gender diversity.

To sum up,  "Under the Queen's Umbrella" and the interweaving with Judith Butler's concepts offers a comprehensive understanding of the series' complex portrayal of gender dynamics in Joseon-era Korea. The narrative challenges normative constructs through Queen Hwa-ryeong's actions, unveiling societal inequities and advocating for women's empowerment within a patriarchal framework. Butler's ideas on the paradox of norms and gender as performative align with the series' depiction of gender complexities, emphasizing the struggle between conforming to societal expectations and seeking to expand gender boundaries. The scene at the jewelry store exemplifies this struggle, echoing Butler's discussion on norms that confer humanness while simultaneously depriving others of recognition. The discourse around divorce laws and gender inequality further parallels Butler's notion of challenging norms to create more inclusive conditions. While the Queen's rhetoric empowers women and prompts dialogue, the entrenched societal structures might hinder immediate systemic change. However, her efforts contribute to the ongoing discourse on gender equality, setting the stage for potential advancements. The series' portrayal, intricately woven with Butler's theories, sheds light on the multifaceted nature of gender and the ongoing quest to challenge and redefine normative conceptions.

The growth between Sung-joon and Hye-jin is definitely worth watching and messages about beauty resonate well.

20. Thirty But Seventeen

Although there are a fair few emotional moments, this show is still for the most part a light, heartwarming drama with little angst and struggle. Also, there are not really ny plausible second leads to confuse the romance storyline as Yoo Chan (Ahn Hyo-Seop) is Gong Woo-Jin’s (Yang Se-Jong) 19 year old nephew, and Kim Tae-Hyun has very little screen time. I feel this makes it a lot easier to connect to the main couple, who are ADORABLE. They are both still mentally 17, after Woo Seo-Ri (Shin Hye-Sun) was in a coma for 13 years, and Woo-Jin’s PTSD from the accident keeps him stuck on repeat. After waking from her coma, Seo-Ri returns to her old house, unaware that it is now under new ownership in the form of Woo-Jin’s family. There is still a lot of tropey goodness (living together!!), but the story and interactions feel fresh and unique, and the dynamic between Seo-Ri, Woo-Jin, Yoo Chan, and Jennifer (Ye Ji-Won) is enough to keep you watching as it’s so warm and pure. Not to mention the dog Paeng/Deok Gu!! I love them all so much and it’s just the sweetest!

LEGEND OF THE BLUE SEA Inspired by a classic Joseon legend from Korea’s first collection of unofficial historical tales, about a fisherman who capture and kidnapped a mermaid, this drama tells the love story between the son of a Joseon noble family named Kim Dam-ryeong (Lee Min-ho) and a mermaid he named Se-hwa (Jun Ji-hyun).[3][4] When Dam-ryeong was a kid, he almost drowned but was saved by a mermaid. Following the incident, they became friends and Dam-ryeong named her Se-hwa, after his younger sister. They ended up falling in love, but one day Dam-ryeong was forced by his family to marry another girl. Devastated by the news, Se-hwa decides to leave Dam-ryeong forever and erased all his memories of her and their love. However, fate brings them back together and they tried to escape from humans who were going to separate them. Fearing that the same ill-fate that afflicts himself and Se-hwa will replay itself, Dam-ryeong sends an artifact to be discovered in the future to try and warn his future self. The fates of Dam-ryeong and Se-hwa become entwined with their modern-day incarnations. Dam-ryeong was reborn as Heo Joon-jae, a charming con-artist. He meets a mermaid who looks like Se-hwa (whom he later named Shim Cheong) in Spain, and she was quickly besotted by him. Linked by dreams and mysterious artifacts, Joon-jae learns of Dam-ryeong’s world and his own fate, as he tries to prevent the same tragedy from befalling.

This drama has come to an end two days ago and I watched the final episode yesterday. The Legend of the Blue Sea is a story about a son of a noble family, Kim Dam Ryeong (Lee MinHo) in the Joseon era who befriended a mermaid named Se Hwa (Jun JiHyun) back in the day. They met again when Se Hwa was caught by a fisherman. Both fell in love with each other and Dam Ryeong remembered Se Hwa as being a part of his past. The people knew about Se Hwa being a mermaid and Dam Ryeong tried to protect her but failed. In the modern time, both of their paths crossed again in Spain. Dam Ryeong was reincarnated as Heo JoonJae, a con artist and Se Hwa as Shim Cheong (a name JoonJae made later for her). Shim Cheong fell in love with JoonJae but decided to erase his memories of her to protect him. She later followed JoonJae to Seoul. Both met again and encountered lots of challenges as JoonJae’s memories start to reappear, including dreams of what happened in the ancient times. He had decided to change both their fates. The story then unfolds as to how JoonJae would protect Cheong from all the people who wanted to hurt her while encountering problems with his family.

This was a good watch! I liked how the happenings in the past were unfolded one by one into the present time. I would be lying if I would say that I didn’t expect much from this. Well, you’ve got 2 household names in Kdrama brought together to star in a fantasy-romance drama. This fell a little behind but was still greatly loved. I got even more excited and had more reason to watch this at first when I heard that Got7’s Jinyoung would play as teenage JoonJae here, who I must commend, did a very good job! (Jinyoung~ah, you have improved! Keep working hard ‘coz you’re doing great at it!) Can’t wait to see him in another acting gig! Lee MinHo was great and dashing as ever. Jun JiHyun is indeed the queen! Some said she was too old for this, come on, who would thought she’s in her forties?! She did great in the acting but I should say that I was more hooked to Cheon SongYi than to Shim Cheong or maybe it’s just me. The story was well done but wasn’t that unique or should I say it wasn’t a first for a mermaid drama. The writers did a good job. The setting was beautifully depicted. Thinking this was shot during winter, everyone should have suffered in the cold but definitely pulled it off. One would learn a lot of lessons from this, not just about love like fighting for your love and if you’re destined to be then you’ll eventually be together, just hold on to it. But also about friendship, friendship comes over anything else, even the things that you have been wanting to possess; about family too. The storyline between JoonJae and his dad did touch me. Also, I love the soundtrack! I’m giving this a 9/10 (thanks to episode 18- my fave episode! The finale was kind of predictable for me.).
