Amarrados al amor (2022)

GRACIAS POR TANTO

Necesitaba algo distinto después de tanto kdrama donde hacen falta 800 episodios para que al menos los protagonistas se diesen la mano cuando está película me salió. Y solo puedo decir: WOW

Este estilo provocador, picante y sexy es bastante rompedor en lo que se refiere a la sociedad coreana. La forma de representar la sumisión y el BDSM de una manera consensuada entre ambos y respetándose en todo momento el uno al otro es algo que me sorprendió. Ya que generalmente se representa todo lo contrario, al estilo "50 sombras de Gray". Y un punto más a favor es el cambio de roles de dominante/sumiso.

La actuación de los personajes en sencillamente increíble. Jun (ML) es un actor que he visto en otras series y tiene mucho potencial, me gusta ver como obtiene más papeles principales. Seo Hyun (FL), la mirada en cada una de las escenas me dejaba helada.

En general y sin más rodeos, recomiendo está película sin lugar a dudas, no te arrepentirás, te lo aseguro.

Fifty Shades should disappear so Love and Leashes can become the introductory standard for BDSM

Going into this movie I was afraid they would make a joke out of BDSM or portray male submissives as pathetic, but I was ecstatic to see that it was not the case in the slightest. This movie is a very solid introduction for what BDSM is and means if you have no clue about it-- even putting up definitions and explanations of terms on screen to make it easier to understand.

The portrayal of male submissives is scarce at best, but actually good, respectful, judgement-free depictions of male submissives are almost nonexistent in mainstream media. That was my primary concern, but if it's yours as well I am here to reassure you that you've got nothing to worry about. The movie does an incredible job of framing Ji Hoo's submissiveness as something that is simply his preference and there's nothing wrong with it, even when others may judge him. Another common problem with the depiction of men who have more submissive personalities is that writers tend to end up delving in the territory of trying to reassure the audience that the character is not *actually* 100% submissive in bed, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. That. Never. Happens. Here.

On the other hand, Ji Woo's character is absolutely incredible because she is the inexperienced Dom that had never been able to put into words what she is actually into. Maybe TMI, but that was me, once. Her quick ease into the Dom role even if she is unsure about doing a good job clearly stems from the fact that this has always been who she is-- she just never had a chance to explore it with anyone. The inexperienced Dom trope also sometimes falls prey to the sudden role switch where the male character takes charge because she is *so* inexperienced and gets *so* easily flustered because of it-- or he was actually in charge all along even if he "acted" submissive, but this incredible movie avoids that completely. He is the submissive, she is the Dom, and even when she may falter and worry she is not doing a good job, those roles remain the same.

You may think this should've been a multi-episode drama instead, but I disagree. Had they done that, the conflicts would've been dragged and many people who may give this a chance because it's  a movie simply wouldn't have watched it. The movie is incredible just the way it is.

This was made by people who took the topic seriously and approached it with nothing but respect, and I am eternally thankful for it.

*It should be noted that I have not read the manga, therefore my opinion is solely based on the movie as a stand-alone story about BDSM.
