Date: 2025-04-30 07:14 am (UTC)I had this specific problem with the cdrama adaptation of A Dream of Splendor that I think shot its feminist themes in the foot by making the main character a "pure" kind of courtesan.
Yeah :( They just cannot make themselves Go There. One of the many things that I really liked about the mini-drama Dong Lan Xue is that it's quite blase about the female lead not being 'pure', when she was working as a courtesan.
Hahahah I do like that brand of jealousy/possessiveness and I get what you mean about being specifically a male love rival in the situation.
Yes! I don't know why (probably patriarchy), but woman knowing about other woman's period = nothing particularly notable; man knowing about woman's period = intimate and SCANDALOUS.
