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.
