After many years of separation, Jin Shengjun met his ex-girlfriend again. This was the second chance given by fate. Although they reunited in a strange way, they quickly resumed their relationship as lovers. However, as they get along with each other day by day, Jin Shengjun discovers that the gentle and virtuous girl who was ignorant of the world has now become an independent, mature and sober feminist. What has happened in these years? It didn't matter after he calmed down his feelings mixed with shock and curiosity. Shengjun thought that as long as he launched a "good man" offensive, he would be able to bring his girlfriend back to where she was before, and then they would get married, have children, and start a family smoothly. But who would have expected that in the successive contradictions and conflicts, not a single thing would develop according to his imagination...
Reader comments
It was the first time I saw feminist images and ideas from a male perspective, which was very novel. I hope that through the efforts of more and more feminists and everyone, the situation faced by women will be better.
I don't usually read much Korean literature, so I read it intermittently. The perspective is very fresh, and it is not completely critical and sharp. Although it is a relatively popular recreational reading, it also gave me a relatively new perspective on the current male-dominated society. The most common so-called "gentle and good boyfriends" and "loving good husbands" in society, good men who want to protect you and keep you "away from danger", their inadvertent desire for control and their indifferent attitude, and their tendency to tell their girlfriends that "society is too dark and dangerous for you who are gentle and beautiful, so you don't have to be so strong" should all be buried little by little in front of Gwanghwamun where Korean women are demonstrating.
The ending of the story can be seen at the beginning. The male protagonist's inner world is very immersive, but the female protagonist's perspective is even more eye-catching. Equality is worthy of everyone's pursuit.
Such an interesting book, I read it in one sitting!
Because it's so "classic", it creates a strong sense of immersion. [Exploring] It's like looking in the mirror.
Ouch~ not enough reading at all!
A very good book that exposes the unbearable psychology of some people with vested interests. It also shows that what feminism pursues is not bias, but equality.
A very good book, the male protagonist is really typical, a very standard Korean male. The heroine is a very good, powerful, and strong girl.
If you don't understand something you don't understand, you won't understand it even if you explain it.
It is very true that men and women seem to live in the same world, but in fact they live in two different worlds. Just like a friend who is about to give birth and says that she is very scared, what should she do if she has difficulty in giving birth? His husband said: I am here, what are you afraid of? It's really humorous, isn't it? Are you a doctor who can bring the dead back to life or a living king of hell who controls life and death? As long as you are here, I won't be afraid of dying [laughing and crying] He can't understand his wife's fear of the unknown, he just thinks he is so handsome when he says this. Of course, this is not entirely his fault, but there is no such danger in the man's world. If you don't know, you won't be able to empathize with it.
It's pretty good. Feminism is narrated from a male perspective. It's quite special. Many of the speechless words of the male protagonist can be heard in real life... Well... It strengthens my own feminism.
Overall, I read it slowly because I couldn't help but say a few words after reading most of the comments.
Before reading it, I said to myself, "I won't be angry if I read a novel." But when I saw the man's inner activities, I was still angry! Click on the comment area and laugh out loud at everyone's comments. As a result, I finished reading it with a smile.
This novel talks about my previous confusion about whether falling in love with a man would violate the feminism I support, or hinder everyone who is fighting for women's rights. But in fact, both love and sex are personal needs and are normal. But if it makes you feel uncomfortable, that's abnormal.
My first feeling after reading this book was that it was very refreshing. The heroine's expressive ability is so strong that she can easily refute those stupid remarks. The heroine is firm in her own ideas and insists on walking her own path, which is also great. The male protagonist alone represents the concepts of people in the old era, some traditional dross ideas that should be evolved away. Learn from the heroine to firmly believe in her own power! We grown-up women are just awesome!
This book is worth reading carefully. From the stories of the heroine and the hero as well as the inner monologue of the hero, we can get a glimpse of the importance of the awakening of female consciousness. The path to the awakening of female consciousness, which has been banned for a long time in a male-centered environment, is not easy. It is difficult to move forward against the wind, but it may not be paradise if we stand still or choose to retreat...
A must-read book for beginners to feminism. If you are awakened, you can choose to read it ~ (from the boyfriend's perspective, the main story is about getting back in love and then breaking up, which is relatively basic)
The male protagonist is the first person in this book, so I thought it was a work by a male author. I just want to see the real male perspective (because I usually hear "dark (not really)" comments from female friends on the Internet and around me. The real idea is that in an all-female environment, everyone can tell the truth directly, but after browsing some posts and asking "What do men think about...", The answers below always feel a little different and not completely true.)
But halfway through, I clearly felt that this was a work by a female author. Judging from the psychological descriptions and writing styles of some of the male protagonists, I clearly felt: "This feminist-themed novel written by a female author in the first person of a man is actually another square-headed Ming-style creation that can understand women. It is still women who are in trouble and are responsible for interpretive labor. No matter how classic the "I" in the writer's writing is, or how similar the "I" in the novel is to imitating greasy men, it is the reality seen by women who have been stared at for a long time and are familiar with behaviors and words that offend women, rather than the true voices of men. "
Because I felt that even though the male protagonist clearly disliked the "radical feminist" part of the female protagonist, "his psychology" also revealed a subtle appreciation for the female protagonist, which made me truly fall in love with the cute and strong female protagonist through "his perspective".
Korean women are really great in terms of feminism.
This book is too gentle for sisters who have awakened. However, among the wider group, this book is still worth reading.
This is the second time I have read this book. This book can be said to be a brain rescue guide for love. Every time I finish reading a sweet love novel, I have to come here and read one or two chapters to wash my brain. Otherwise, I will be immersed in the female writer's beautiful fantasy about men and be unable to get out. This book was really refreshing and reminded me what a real man is like.
This is the first time I read a feminist work written by a Korean female writer. Very nice. Must be recommended with five stars. The language style of the work sometimes reminds me of Haruki Murakami, which is concise, clear, fresh and natural. Many readers also have very insightful paragraph and chapter reviews of the works. Reading them together with the works themselves can help them better understand feminism and feminists.
I like it very much. It has a different perspective. I can do things that I can't do. I admire people who light up the stars.
To be honest, I felt a lot. I finally understood why I was so determined to leave my ex. The male protagonist in it was very much like my ex, saying that I didn't pay and that you would give me a child anyway. At that time, I found a very serious problem, especially the last sentence. There was nothing wrong with it, but I chose to break up at that time. It turned out that he thought the same way, and wanted to "rape" a girl as a boyfriend and keep her as his own. He was the one who didn't want to meet me because he was obviously busy with work, but he used my good intentions to accuse me of moral kidnapping. I had clearly told him that I was panicking about having a baby. So it turns out that he was the one who said he wouldn't let me work in the future, but in the end he said I didn't pay. It turned out that he had this idea and wanted to kidnap me. So that's it, he enjoyed the benefits unscrupulously, but never thought about my perspective.
The biggest advantage of this book is that it provides women with sufficient emotional value, and its refreshing feeling is like many famous online articles on Tomato. If there was more authenticity on this basis, it would be called a masterpiece.
After reading this, I can better understand some men's views on feminism. The author's descriptions are sharp and intuitive. I feel more awake after reading this. Don't fall in love with men in fantasy. Good book.
Feminism does not deliberately discredit men. Instead, it tells the facts in a relaxed and humorous tone. Everyone will be amused and realize that this is not a joke, but the reality of his father.
The plot of this book is very real and resonates with me. I like the independence and sobriety of the heroine in the book. She knows what she wants and will not lose herself for love. This reminds me of my own emotional experience. I also want to be an independent girl like the heroine, not dependent on anyone. And this book also made me understand that love is not about blindly accommodating and compromising, but about mutual understanding and respect. Recommended to all single girls!
Just like at the end of the novel, the author said that going out to find the other half of your life is like a zombie siege, facing the risk of being surrounded by zombies, bitten by zombies, and assimilated by zombie viruses.
If there are no traces of survivors in this world, I would rather stay where I am and never be eroded by loneliness and walk into the tide of corpses.
As hard as it is, I hope the world has a bright future.
A very good feminist novel!
Suitable for readers who want to understand feminism and see clearly the inner world of men
The writing is very simple
It looks very good at the entry level
I just finished reading it. Please recommend some other books.
Read this book quickly or slowly, it's very interesting
Just looking at it makes me want to curse, a nameless fire
not because of a specific person
Structural oppression in society
The man is too tired to breathe
Women suffer so much that they cannot tell
We should fight against what is wrong with society
I used to think that it could be solved by avoiding love.
But now I feel like it's not about love at all.
Men have grown up with wrong values since childhood, and they are the beneficiaries.
Therefore: No matter whether you are aware of the problem of this social structure or not, you will not take the initiative to give up your interests.
Do you know what you said in that sentence, if you don't hit yourself with a board, you won't know the pain? That's so true.
If this society does not change and the threat of zombies does not disappear, women today will not go out blindly, which means that women will not leave their necks to be bitten by zombies as easily as in the past.
Women go through so much in society. For example, being talked about in a pornographic manner. Being molested. No matter what happens, we have to express it. Also, I understand what a man really thinks. It is more important to live your own life
A good book, very easy to read, full of satire, and better to read with the scolding paragraphs. I finished reading it while laughing and scolding.
