C'est normal d'être sensible (2018)

I wouldn't have watched this web series if I hadn't seen a viral clip on it on twitter and I'm grateful and glad that I did.

While it's mostly an episodic series, it manages to tackle a lot of issues that I think is important for the youth to think about even if it means character development and story is pretty much stagnant. From the teaser you practically already know who these characters are because they pretty much stay the same throughout the show. Even though it's like this, you can't help but root for the characters and love them.

I think it's a must watch because it raises a lot of issues and point of views and serves them all in bitesized episodes that are easy to digest and binge watch. It may not be that popular of a web show but it's a damn important one.

I really enjoyed it. It was funny and smart and satisfying. I tend to prefer full dramas to web dramas but they utilized their platform really well. Even though the episodes were short, they didn't feel like it and they managed to feel complete. This show did an excellent job telling compact stories that still together created a cohesive narrative.

These actors were nearly all completely new to me but they all did an excellent job. The characters were different from one another but their relationships were believable and felt familiar and realistic. Their growth and change was subtle but excellent.

I found myself laughing during most most episodes and I was also very impressed with the powerful lines and lessons they all contained. Each episode deals with a different issue, ranging from creepy and sexist professors and sexual harassment (#MeToo) to navigating relationship problems, and they're handled well. But it also deals with the very real issue of the culture of sexism and misogyny and the pushback against change. The show discusses fear and power and fighting back against injustice.

This webseries is both very enjoyable and also extremely relevant and important. I am very glad that there is something out there like this and I hope that it is something that will inspire and empower others.

A short web drama with really important messages

That's how I would sum up this drama.
It's about different gender issues in real life and always ends the episode with a comforting message, giving you good advise.

While they do show clearly who's doing wrong and why this drama is not pointing fingers or using stereotypes we might expect which I truly appreciate.
Not every male being is an offender and not every feminist is a man-hating fury.
The drama deals with the negative perception of the term feminist and gives a good answer to that.

Here we have different personality types, Chae Ah is the outgoing type who has no problem speaking out when she thinks something is unfair, Ye Ji is the complete opposite being shy and introverted, worried about how speaking out could affect her social life.
I could relate to Shin Hye the most. She's feels that it's wrong of a guy to casually touch her leg while they are out drinking something with others but doesn't want to jump to wrong conclusions or misjudge anyone. She's thinking a lot before acting and also considers the other person. We get to see how she changes, learning that you have to listen to your heart and when something feels wrong it's okay to be sensitive about it and speak out.

It shouldn't be "normal" for a woman to get stared at like a piece of meat when she's wearing a short skirt or okay for man to speak with a woman and look at her boobs all the time instead of her eyes (this really happened to me by the way and it really felt disgusting). This drama addresses such issues and that's why I enjoyed it. It's not exaggerating such situations but show them how they really are. That also includes sexual harassment against man, which is why I recommend to watch this no matter what your gender is.

To sum it up: It's a heartwarming, comforting and healing drama with funny scenes but also a lot that make you think.
For me the core message of this drama is to be considerate of each other and that's something entirely unrelated to gender.

" It's okay to be sensitive " it's a webdrama that deals with some issues that many others shy off.

The main characters are mostly women, more specifically, college students, who are trying to find part time jobs, live alone, or find love. However, even when they are just attending classes or hanging out with their friends, they find it hard to feel safe or considered as equals. There was actually an episode where they showed how some men experience sexual harassment too, but the drama mostly focuses on women. And, you don't have to be Korean to relate with the characters, as these issues, unfortunately, are universal and many women experience them, in one way or another. But the way the characters reacted and acted was reassuring and felt encouraging and comforting. The addition of some romance was nice, however, it wasn't well paced.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

important and cute

I just watched it and I thought it was really nice to discover that k-dramas can be educational and awareness-raising. Many are full of sexist details, perhaps because of the culture. But this one is great to be seen by teenagers of both genders and even young adults who don't know the difference between machismo and being a man and the difference between defending rights/respect for women and wanting to take the place of men. It was worth watching.I had a hard time finding where to watch it since I'm in Brazil. But I was surprisingly happy that I got to see it. Well-made script, beware of situations without appealing scenes

when one feels uncomfortable, its totally fine and not abnormal

Everyone must have heard “People speak with their eyes more than words” and “words are more powerful than swords.”
What happens when one glares at someone, they see brands, clothes, and skin and go on thinking about anything in their mind. Like if a girl wears branded clothes, she must be filthy rich or if a girl wears a short dress she comes from a bad family, etc.
Am writing this review in total agreement with the web-series topic of feminism and gender issues because I have faced multiple incidences for my clothing choices which is most of the time formal. Men sometimes gaze continuously and sometimes throw absurd comments but we as working staff have to always maintain our warm behavior.

This short web-series covers a bold yet sensitive issue that why a Female feels unsafe in this patriarchal society. Each episode has compact stories teaching about feminism, consent, sex education, sexual harassment, and relationship tips. It teaches us to speak up rather than remain silent.

It has a good script performed skillfully by the actors.
Kim Young Dae, makes a good impression when he is sees through the minds of other male students. Not just because he is good-looking, but in his own way he shows good people also exist. While the men are allowed to do everything, females are deprived of wearing their choice of clothes, going to clubs For fear of weirdos, and many more.

Overall this web series a great eyeopener of today's society of what women face in their everyday life.
