Dar en el Clavo (2022)

Bringing the heat!

Very mature KDrama. Plot wise, it was refreshing to see a more open and mature discussion around sex and what that looks like for different types of people.

Some of the sex scenes (not the main lead scenes but small side character sex scenes) honestly dragged a bit too much so it just felt gratituous at times.

Overall, I enjoyed it. I liked that it was short and really enjoyed watching our two main couples and their HOT kisses and sex scenes. Gave a lower rating due to the last episode - the ending appears open ended but it pretty much leans on a HEA for the main couple which is good but then why did the writer have Hani's character end her FWB relationship with the writer over the excuse of wanting "time" for herself if that time just ended up being a mere month? Idk, it just seemed unecessary to have had the dramatics of her ending their friendship if she was just gonna get back with him so quick. But again, I took the ending as a HEA with her and In-chan getting back together so it's not certain.

This drama is about two best friends suddenly being tasked with hosting a podcast about love and sex. Neither are really in a capacity to give professional advice, but they do lend a listening ear. On one hand, Mi Na only dallies with casual hook-ups, and is not looking for anybody for more than a romp in the hay. Meanwhile, Hee Jee is stuck in a boring rut with her longtime boyfriend, who cares more about what’s on screen than carrying an actual conversation with his girlfriend. Though neither of them feels jealous of each other’s situation, sometimes they wish to improve their love and sex lives.

In the eight brief episodes, we see both women grappling with the idea that there is more to life than just having meaningless sex, and comparatively, that they are not obligated to stay with one person just because it is easy and convenient. Change is a thing; yes, it could be scary, but the braver you are to explore what you truly want, the more rewarding your life experience will be.

Both Ahn Hee Yeon and Bae Woo Hee’s portrayal of these women come across as natural. The two male leads are not too shabby as well. I find the drama very refreshing as it tackles mature topics with candidness. I love how both female characters developed as individuals when exploring relationships outside of their comfort zone. The drama fearlessly delves into different perspectives on romance and sexual relationships that may not align with conventional values or beliefs, but are not deemed wrong or right, nonetheless.

Educational to a degree

Before you begin watching this series, you must know that it is rated 18+ for a reason. The first episode bares all quite literally. However, the rest of the episodes are somewhat milder with some explicit scenes in between.

The two main female leads host a podcast that deals with talking about sex from the female perspective. It also includes discussion on periods and premenstrual syndrome. Some of the information discussed in the show is good but I didn't find it exceptionally new. There was potential but it missed covering aspects like those who have never had sex to begin with. Most of it is related to those who have been having sex for a long time and issues they have faced. The series also tries to deal with healthy attitudes towards the discussion of sex with partners. Again it seemed to miss the opportunity to teach men explicitly to listen to their female partners which a lot of men don't seem to grasp very well or don't think they need to. They do cover healthy partnerships but they could have driven the point across further.

It's a good show to watch for conservative audiences that don't have much access to information related to sex. But it cannot be considered an all inclusive show about sex education. It's better to pick sex ed websites/videos and not entirely depend on such a show. It just discusses a range of topics that one can then further research into.

Although the plot is good, the characters are good, there were at least two scenarios presented without any real advice given. A lot of the advice seekers were left on read. I'm not sure why. In any case, it's not a boring show. Pacing is good. Good for a one time watch. I watched it hoping to learn some new information and have rated it accordingly.

A show we needed

This show was a pleasant surprise to find — beneath a raunchy premise, is a drama that 100% empowers women. It's about affirming women and validating their desires, their choices, and their refusals.

The friendship between Mina and Heejae is so sweet, and they went just fleshed out enough in this drama's short runtime, which I can appreciate. I think Woohee and Hani were incredibly charming picks for our leads, as they both just give great energy on screen.

Overall, this show was surprisingly progressive, advocating for safety, for pride over guilt, and for really having a good relationship with one's own body. We live in a world ruled by male gaze that prioritizes male desire, and watching this show is such a healthy step for women to let go of the shame and guilt that's forced upon us. A great watch!

Intimidades e podcast

Hit the spot prometeu tudo e entregou tudo! Com começo, meio e fim. Uma história muito fiel e real. Eu amei a ideia dos podcasts, a química das meninas e a amizade delas foi incrível, a mi na passava muito confiança pra hee Jae.
E o tema tratado pra mim foi ótimo, é um assunto tabu em vários lugares e ambientes e entre pessoas que você tem intimidade e o drama não só falou sobre isso como amor, amizade e incentivo. Um dos melhores que já vi sim, só fiquei triste por ter tão poucos episódios e tão curto. Mas amei! A OST também é muito gostosa de ouvir e a química dos casais foi apaixonante!
Queria muito uma segunda temporada, pra explorar mais dos casais, falar sobre outros personagens até, mais sobre o podcast mas pode ser que estraguem né e talvez tenham a brilhante ideia de separar os casais então melhor não.

Oh for a Mr.Kang in my life…..

This short and snappy little series was perfection.all the leads were brilliant actors (definitely shouldn’t be saying this but the ML bodies………oof!). So refreshing to have such open and frank discussions on sex, especially from S.Korea -not their regular take at all, but it was so well done, never sleazy in any way and i learned a few things I didn’t know.The sex scenes -and there were plenty - were all in relation to the storyline and never came across as being there just for the sake of it. As i said in the headline special mention must be given to Mr.Kang , Park Sun Ho played his role sublimely, dont think i’ll ever forget the car lovemaking scene, it bordered on art.All in all this series brought a beaming smile with every episode , not a thing that i experience often.everyone over 18 should watch this, its entertaining, its informative, its beautiful sex scenes are thrilling .hoping there will be a second season, will definitely be re watching the first season, no prizes for guessing why!enjoy!

Raunchy romance sex comedy drama

Now that's the real shocker. A kdrama that's not afraid to go down the R-rated road!

It's somehow softcore porn and yet very romantic at the same time, which I guess only a kdrama could pull off, as it has all the usual tropes you'd expect and is one through and through... except a lot more sexually explicit. Is it the beginning of a new subgenre?

It's pretty good, and educational too. I liked how frank the characters were, both to themselves and to others in their lives. All the leads were great, but the audio editing was rough. Script had some issues too.

It moves at a brisk pace and has no real downtime typical of the genre. Very much enjoyable.

For those annoyed that most kdrama characters seem to be wearing chastity belts, then this is the one for you I guess? A welcome variation, if not a bit too basic overall.

Real! Raw! Raunchy!

If you're tired of slow burn romances and super corny comedies, look no further than here!

This show has plenty of romance and drama mixed in with a lot of laughter and lots of sexual scenes to keep you on your toes (so be careful where and who you watch this around)! It focuses on unlocking women's pleasure and embracing their sexuality in the most realistic, encouraging, and supportive way. There were all sorts of different scenarios and circumstances and I'm sure you could find at least one to relate to which I appreciated. As much as this show might be educating and fun for a more feminine crowd, it's eye-opening and enjoyable for all [mature] audiences!

I loved:
~ the soundtrack - I Shazamed every song I heard and played the opening and ending on repeat
~ the characters - the female leads friendship was super cute and reminded me of my own friends & the male leads were both really considerate and kind, the sides characters were great additions as well
~ the story - I felt like I was a listener of the podcast who got a behind the scenes look into the hosts' lives which was really enjoyable and well done

I would totally rewatch this with my friends someday!

For mature audience only

I love the sex scenes done so naturally by all the actors in this short drama. It's so refreshing to see how the female lead wants, to find her true self after the break-up from her past relationship/// sex toys, dildos etc... I laugh a lot on these scenes esp. when they were shopping for them in the store. Thankful for her beastie introducing them to her. I enjoyed watching all 8 episodes - the plot story about two couples with their views on love and relationship. The person I admire most is In Chan, an ideal boyfriend wanting to fall in love with HeeJae and not just have sex with her. I love the fact that he was willing to wait for her. I think he understood that she did not just want him to be used (on a rebound relationship) by her. She needed time to find herself, love herself and be loved in return. I was happy that they get to meet again. Same with Mi Na, she found her second chance on falling in love after all the casual sex with sex partners and Woo Jae was perfect for her. They were destined to be together. Definitely a 10 for rewatch.
