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.
