Korean drama ‘Mine’ and the faces of feminism
Empowerment. Agency. Selflessness. Motherhood. Femininity. Unconditional love. These are some of the major themes presented in ‘Mine’. It was a narrative that pictured women and their shared destinies as well as their individual pursuits. It was a fairly good attempt in shattering the ceilings of the patriarchy. In the entirety of its 16 episodes, different faces of women were showcased, each with their unique motivations and personalities, yet driven by the same force that is feminism whilst experiencing parallel social constraints.
