Vice-signaling is how MAGA recognizes their own.

Nothing compares to Mr.Sunshine for this, but the opening credits and some of the historical scenes in Legend of the Blue Sea are pretty spectacular. This whole sequence at the beginning in particular…

There are lots of police dramas where the conclusion is pretty much “we’re all guilty” or at least implicated. Watcher especially, but also Beyond Evil and others. I’d say the movie Harbin suggests this strongly also.

But these all operate outside the rom com formula, so maybe they don’t count.

No you didn’t. You said liberals do, which is a bog standard MAGA dismissal of all “libs.”

Are we great yet?

Welcome to Trump’s America MAGA GOP.

So you’re cool with blatant lies, corruption, foreign bribery, and child rape….

Got it.

Is RFK, jr no longer married to Cheryl Hines, because no one ever seems to mention that aspect of this, and it seems relevant?

Sooooo dark!

In Misaeng, the boss repeatedly pokes an attractive young woman employee in the forehead in front of the entire team explicitly to put her in her place.

Again, I don’t think it was really presented as normal or positive, but definitely as a thing that still might happen.

I was still shocked!
November 21, 2025 at 3:40 PM
Yes they do!

So I think it’s a thing that still happens but maybe isn’t entirely ok.

In the drama I first saw it (Life), the manager is kind of a bad guy, and he makes sure to do it out of sight in a stairwell.

But the employee (Lee Dong Wook) doesn’t resist all and never makes a complaint.

The Three Stooges was an old black and white US comedy about the misadventures of 3 grown adult brothers poking each other in the eye and giving each other noogies.
three men are dancing in a room in a black and white photo and they are saying `` three of a kind '' .

It’s a Three Stooges level of comedy, which I have never much liked.

The thing that truly shocked me in kdrama, though, was the first time I saw a manager discipline an employee by kicking them in the shin.

I had no idea what I was supposed to make of that. Was it normal, excessive, old school?

Kdrama land take note!
Sooo many dramas sag in the middle for lack
of anything much to do.

The one that puzzles me is Moonlovers aka Scarlet Hearts Ryeo (달의 연인 – 보보경심 려)

The first part makes sense but the second not at all. And they give up even trying to translate by the end!

Ryeo is just romanization for the last word!

They put out the MAGA bat light and attracted a swarm.

It’s weird what language it grabs at sometimes, too!

German? Really? I had one semester of German my freshman year!

Potentially very embarrassing.😳

Yes. Mike Johnson’s tried it 4 or 5 times now!

It screams turncoat “Dem.”
