Male Actor Slapping Female Actress In Controversial K-Drama Sparks Fury
Dynamite Kiss is a K-Drama that has netizens divided, and a recent scene has sparked fury among international fans.
Since it started airing, the K-Drama has had a mix of criticism and praise.
During one of the recent episodes, a scene sparked fury as the chairman slapped Ahn Eun Jin‘s character. The OP who posted the video online that went viral added, “Even if it’s just a drama, having the chairman slap an employee in the company, in front of all the employees, is unbelievably ridiculous. Is he out of his mind?”

When international fans saw it, they were furious and while some thought it just didn’t fit with the drama and was an odd decision by the writers, others explained that it seemed demeaning to the representation of woman and the storylines that had been portrayed throughout with the female lead.

kdrama writers must have a clause on their contracts to do fresh cöke when they’re writing a romcom https://t.co/exBzNflx32

This was so unnecessary,what do u mean he slapped his employee infront of everyone in the big 2025 especially with this type of romcom show that's the last thing i would expect,this was very discouraging to watch i wish they never included it #DynamiteKiss pic.twitter.com/XwMMrbo1ci

in a drama that already puts women on a pedestal like this that whole move was totally unnecessary. they could’ve just said sth like ‘you’re fired’ or ‘you got sued’ and that would’ve been enough. the writer wrote it but didn’t anyone say let’s change this?? #dynamitekiss https://t.co/qaHXDdQs4z
