This week’s chat comes from an already-discussed hot topic, but was suggested by @babylilo as a subject that’s worth more debate (I agree). The issue? How dramaland portrays professions and professionals, and what we viewers are willing to squint and let pass versus what sets our brains on fire for its lack of, well, reality.
For instance, there are the questionable legal procedures we see in {insert nearly any legal drama title here} and even more so, the doctors of dramaland who so readily share patient information with anyone. I would sooner count the doctors who say, “I can’t share that information with you” than the ones who spill the beans.
But this workplace issue extends beyond law and medicine to portrayals of other careers as well.
So Beanies, what are you willing to put up with when it comes to K-drama career portrayals? Is there a point at which you draw a hard line (maybe because of personal knowledge), or do you find yourself more forgiving of this stuff, because Plot.
