    In America the "grab wrist" would be soooooo misinterpreted. Never do it in public here

      @Tornstripe 3 роки тому +1397

      Strongly agree. It's a very bad idea. An American would have to have tons of knowledge about Korean culture, and even then, the chances of that being "ok" is still low.

      Hope that by "America" you mean the entire continent (because it is a continent) and not just to USA plus the fact that outside your country, there're lots others sharing the same view about what are sings/actions of abuse and violence happening.

      @@mcqueen5588 I'm only able to speak about my own country, and not others. 'The Americas' are what would be both North and South America, but when people say 'America', they mean the United States. I've never heard an American refer to themselves as a United Stateser. I'm sure people don't like it, but it's just how it is. It's just the short and easy way to abbreviate "United States of America" because that's a bit of a mouthful. Mexicans, Canadians, and so on would be quite horrified to be referred to as Americans. The culture is wildly different in each country and different things are acceptable-- they can't be all grouped together.

    As an American, I was always confused by the "aggressive" (in my mind, from what I learned growing up) behavior men used with their female love interests in K-dramas. Grabbing the wrist, pushing someone up against the wall with an angry expression, these are mostly viewed as controlling, borderline abusive behaviors in the U.S. and would be interpreted as having negative intent behind them. This video has helped me realize that isn't the case as much in Korea. However, to any Koreans who date an American, please refrain from doing this with them or at least have a conversation about what you mean and how it makes them feel! If a man did this to me out of the blue, I would feel intimidated, angry, and maybe scared.

    • @Elenasn

    @Melissa-wx4lu 3 роки тому +841

    The "Aggressiveness" in K-dramas really, REALLY depends on the feeling of the (usually) female. A woman might like that take-charge sort of attitude. And I completely understand that.
    However...
    If the girl isn't into that sort of thing, (grabbing, wall pinning) that's when it goes from sexy to scary.
    If the character is into it...then it feels romantic to me. If the character is obviously scared, or upset or annoyed or angry and the man is still doing this, then I feel angry for her.
    Like, in the drama, they have an argument and one person goes to leave and the other refuses to allow them to leave by grabbing them or their things to prevent them is when I instantly end the shipping and the aggressor goes on my shit list. Fists will be thrown if it had been me. they do not want you to touch them don't think you can put hands on someone just because you feel entitled to control them.
    This is my BIGGEST gripe with K-dramas because it seems to be such a popular trope. I often wonder if this is seen as romantic to Koreans and I'm just struggling with cultural differences. Because there seems to be a bit obvious when grabbing/trapping is wanted and when it's really not.

    I think, for Americans, saying "I love you" too early sounds obsessive, or insincere/frivolous. Someone who's prone to saying it within a short period of dating someone, especially if it's in multiple different relationships, will come off as someone who doesn't know what love really is, is psychologically disturbed, is prone to extreme codependency, or doesn't really mean what they say. I guess the phrase has more weight to it here?
    Some people also grow up with the phrase being weaponized against them by emotionally abusive parents or family members, so they can be avoidant to ever really saying it, especially if they don't think they mean it. For me, it took almost 2 years to say it back for this reason, because i felt like i'd be lying to say it so "easily"; because to me i didn't want it to be as "meaningless" as it felt when i'd be forced to say it during a family dispute where i was a second class citizen in my own home. I wanted to mean what i say, and say what i mean, because i want to rather than to be somehow obligated to.

      I definitely had a Korean guy (I'm a white American teenager) say he loved me the first time we got on call. I was pretty disturbed. Now......the thing is, and maybe this was cultural, but he kept flirting with me and getting upset when I wouldn't flirt back. It was definitely concerning whenever I would say it was too fast and he was saying stuff like,"I guess you don't like me because you won't flirt back and it's making me sad." I don't really think that was necessary cultural and more fboy attitude (asking me to lift up my shirt on call)
      But, I guess the point of this comment is that some things are cultural, like saying I love you very soon(granted not the first call with someone you met yesterday), and some things are red flags, like complaining that you won't show your breasts and saying that just because you won't means you don't like him. I just want everyone to look out for red flags and make sure they're not misinterpreting something. Last point, but if you are feeling uncomfortable with someone saying stuff like,"I love you." So fast, have a conversation with them about it and set down your boundaries. Stay safe lovelies 💜❤️

    I love you is very serious. We don't say it casually and it can be seen as insincere if you say it too soon. When you start going out, everyone just wants to be their best self to make the other person like them. It's normal, people can't help it. So saying I love you at 3 weeks means I love this version of you. However it's not possible to always be your best self, eventually you will have a bad day, be gross or be sick, or have an ugly day where you just look terrible. So you know they aren't saying it because they love you as your true self. 3-4 months is a good amount of time to see the real person and decide if you can love them for their flaws as well as their good points, it's also a good amount of time to see if you work together or against eachother.

    when i first saw Korean media (music videos, dramas, panel shows, whathaveyou) and first saw the grabbing wrist thing I was so shocked! it seems so violent to me. that’s what abusive men do to women. it took a few minutes to set in, okay, that’s not necessarily violent to them, different cultures, that’s cool. but it still makes me squirmy, thinking: if a guy did that to me I’d assume he’s going to assault me. I’d have to REALLY know someone before I’d be okay with that. so that I know that they mean nothing by it. same with the wall kiss. in movies that happens when a couple is making out/about to do it, but in some stuff it just comes out of nowhere! sometimes even when they don’t know each other. that’s not okay. it’s domineering.
    of course when I watch stuff from Korea now, I have learned to look at it in a different way since it’s from another country/culture. in a kdrama if someone grabs a wrist I’m like “omg” but when it happens irl or in an American film it’s genuinely frightening.

Well he and I had known each other since we were young and had been best friends before. Bless his heart, he asked me out and then as he’s walking me to my car, he opens my door for me and says, “Bye! I love you!” I was really surprised he said it so quickly, but I did say it back. He just thought that’s what couples do so he should do it. I felt kind of bad for him when his parents heard him say it a week later and they freaked out thinking we were moving too fast. 😂

    He is so flustered by almost everything about her. It's adorable. 😅 It also make me VERY happy that HE found the "wall thing" weird. I will tell you right now, if a dude rolled up on me like that these days he'd catch a knee to the groin. And yes, I have had a guy (American-in college) do that to me. Scared the crap out of me. Never again. I really wish entertainment in general (it's not just K-dramas) would stop romanticizing the "aggressive" male.

    I'm pretty sure the wall thing would only be accepted if it was your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner, you spoke to them about it/let them know your intentions/asked permission and you both have a lot of trust between you. Otherwise it comes off as aggressive/abusive/controlling in the States and many other parts of the world.

    For me, I think the only way I could take the "I love you" part seriously so early in the relationship is if we've actually fallen for each other & pined after one another before we finally got together. That's how my fiancé & I were. I didn't start dating him until I knew he was actually serious about wanting to be with me & we ended up confessing our feelings before we officially got together. Saying it just to say it just seems fake & superficial

    0:40 I like how it says “look for enemies” but I’m pretty sure she said “we’re like frenemies” haha

    Saying “I love you” is a deep and serious thing to bring out within the first month or so (at least in the U.S.) It’s just so... weird, and uncomfortable.
    I feel like you don’t just love someone that quickly. It will seem like obsession or possessiveness.
    Typically it’s all a gradual build up, first you get to know more & more about the person. So then when you finally do say it, it’s really powerful, and has a deep meaningfulness behind it 😅!!

    WHAT DAA why would they even ask why it takes a while to say i love you to ur significant other 😭😭. love is literally such a strong emotion and definitely not one that u pick up after the first date ?? if someone told me that after meeting them recently i’d head out ngl
