I just finished watching episode 6 of Doctor-X.
I just finished watching episode 6 of Doctor-X.
Since I like Doctor-X, I've been watching it as soon as it airs, but I couldn't bring myself to watch episode 6 because it dealt with stories from Gwangju.
First of all, I disliked the forced dialect.
Busan dialect is different from Gyeongnam dialect, and Daegu dialect is different from Gyeongbuk dialect.
In the same vein, Gwangju dialect is different from Jeonnam dialect,
but in most works that deal with Gwangju, the excessive use of Jeonnam dialect personally bothered me.
(I think people from other regions, especially those whose hometown is a metropolitan city, might empathize with this)
Also, because it dealt with the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement, I was hesitant to watch it.
Since the movie "Peppermint Candy," I haven't been able to easily watch movies or dramas that deal with May 18.
In particular, even though I like Song Kang-ho and really wanted to see "A Taxi Driver," I still haven't watched it.
I'm afraid his acting might be too good.
However, seeing those bastards making a fuss by boycotting Doctor-X made me feel indignant enough to watch it.
I was also curious about what exactly they were picking a fight over.
Only after finishing episode 6 today did I understand the reason.
(In the drama) A bald murderer who collapsed while playing golf is transported via Doctor-X helicopter and brought down onto the hospital rooftop;
Just as a victim was hesitating about ending their life on that same rooftop, they witness that scene,
and there is a scene of them wailing toward the being carried away, the bald murderer.
That is what I disliked.
It wasn't that I disliked it because it dealt with May 18, but rather because that dramatic scene was expressed so symbolically well,
that I realized that is why I disliked it.
