'OK to be sensitive' is a Korean web drama which discusses many controversial topics in today's society such as feminism and gender issues. The show is directed more towards the Korean public to shed light on many issues that remain untouched or neglected by the Korean society. A clip from the show recently went viral, which brought the show on display.
Here are 3 reasons this why you need to watch this web drama right now:
1. It is much needed in today's society
Many people shy away from controversial issues which talk about sexual harassment, feminism, gender roles and other such issues, especially in the Asian society. The #MeToo movement is a movement against sexual harassment and assault. This movement is slowly bringing change in the patriarchal Korean society as well as causing a stir in political affairs. The show discusses the movement and highlights issues in the Korean society (and society as a whole) relating to sexual harassment, and it talks about how to go about battling these issues.
2. Feelings, feelings, feelings

I'm not going to lie when I first started to watch this show I felt a little uncomfortable as I was not used to such topics being discussed so openly. But after the first two episodes, I began to be empowered and felt stronger as these issues were discussed and solved.
3. It is different from other shows
Unlike other Korean and Asian TV shows, this is not overly dramatic or unrealistic. The charm of this show is it's realistic approach to urgent matters in our everyday lives.
Nevertheless, 'OK to be sensitive' is an amazing show which does not back down from any matter. Personally, I think the Korean film industry should make more dramas like this which incorporates controversial real-world problems. Make sure to watch 'OK to be sensitive' on Youtube!
