So far so much gas-lighting

This show has so much gas-lighting, mental and emotional abuse and implied violence that I'm curious why I'm persisting but I'll see it through to find out how they redeem the situation. A narcissistic, privileged guy exploits his wealth and position to stalk and harass a woman apparently well below his class, and refuses to take no for an answer. There's no concept of consent and even when they briefly swap bodies it brings no understanding or empathy.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to feel sorry for the poor rich guy and his toxic family but he's basically just a selfish asshole.
Maybe in the remaining episodes he'll redeem himself like Lord Darcy in Pride and Prejudice but that would require some major plot gymnastics.

Kickass women

Loved this - I know there's been countless comparison to John Wicks but so what? You don't watch these kinds of movies for the intellectual content and the revenge/action theme has been around long before JW. I loved both mother and daughter being 'true to themselves'. It's a refreshing change to see Kickass women doing it for themselves, especially in KDrama.

The ending was a positive affirmation of self identity and not giving in to peer pressure to make life easy. I'd love to see a second part.
