Reading this helped me understand more how society has such harsh expectations of women, and most especially in Korean society as this takes place in South Korea. It also made me more aware of how toxic male dominated workplaces can be, I mean
reading the part where Jiyoung's old company tried to sweep the hidden cameras in the restroom part under the rug made me so mad knowing that some companies will try to bury similar cases in order to keep the reputation. Dont get me started on the backhanded comments ughh
