Good Luck, Episode 10

The Actors


Rape-Huggist: Yoon Soo Ha ♀
Rape-Huggee: Kimura Takuya ♂


The Context
This is basically a repeat of the first rape-hug in this series in Episode 1. Basically what happens is, Kimura is a a successful pilot and whenever he comes home to his apartment, his crazy Korean neighbour ambushes him and acts as if they are a couple. I have no idea why this is included in the dorama. As I said, it's probably a misguided attempt at humour that marginalises women and foreigners.
In this 2nd rape-hug (that sandwiches the series with rape-huggery), Kimura is arraving home with his little brother - which is why he says "She's lying" at the point of no return. 



The Result
The result is basically only to make women and/or Koreans look like crazy people.

The Depiction
The depiction is rather standard, and Kimura 'takes it like a man.', acting more worried about what his little brother might think rather than the fact he is being violated. He even plays along with her delusion by answering to the fake name she has given him.

Awkwardometor ☆
This rape-hug is not very awkward by this point. It is nothing we haven't seen before, we know that Kimura has saved his genitals for another female in this series, and again, girls rape-hugging guys is always less awkward. Maybe I'm being sexist, but in reality, if a guy really felt violated he could probably lay out the offender with a single punch to the mouth. This is especially true in Japanese doramas where every female actress looks about as strong as a wet noodle with osteoporisis.



Video

See this crazy Korean lady fulfil the dreams of most Japanese women under 40 (and some men) by hugging Kimura Takuya, set to the annoying (undoubtedly) royalty-free music that suggests that this is supposed to be a humorous scene.

Good Luck, Episode 1

The Actors
Rape-Huggist: Yoon Soo Ha ♀
Rape-Huggee: Kimura Takuya ♂

The Context
Kimura is a pilot who is single, and is therefore extremely eligible among women (pretty much exactly how it is in real life). Most of the females in the dorama are stewardesses who constantly praise him and try to act cute in front of him. However, his neighbour has a different plan of attack - literally. As soon as he comes home, she ambushes him and pretends he is someone else that she is dating.
Note: this is a rape-hug that crosses national borders, showing that Koreans are also partial to the aggressive suffocating behaviour of rape-huggery. Either that, or she's taking symbolic national revenge for the years between about, say, 1905 and 1945.  

The Result
The rape-huggist is obviously mentally unstable, and Kimura spends the entire dorama avoiding her. The entire storyline involving this neighbour is completely irrelevant to the dorama, and appears to be there only for comedic effect for all those who enjoy watching unsolicited physical contact. 


The Depiction
As soon as he inserts the key in the lock of his house, the sequence begins. We see the neighbour's door open, running footsteps, and she attacks Kimura. For comparison's sake, let's pretend that she was holding an axe and it quickly becomes a completely different dorama. Kimura is pushed back by the force of impact, and left swaying as she talks nonsense.

Awkwardometor ☆☆
The fact that the storyline of the dorama concerning the neighbour has completely nothing to do with the rest of the dorama makes it less awkward. Yes, she is basically a stranger, a foreigner, and a lunatic, and the hug includes a run-up and nonsense talking. However, in the greater scheme it is relatively less awkward than it might seem largely due to the fact the attacker is female - usually the smaller of the sexes in the human species.

Watch the crazy Korean lady come flying from her room like an evil flying monkey, in real time.
