Episode 7 - Strong Woman Bong Soon & "Strong Female Characters"

Ty and Marie-Claire discuss the problematic phrase "strong female character" and the drama Strong Woman Bong Soon. This drama likes to use many genres, themes, and tropes, and it nearly always subverts all of them. "Strong" characters like Bong Soon, as well as many of the others in this drama, are the types of diverse characters we want to see more of!
