Tag: ‘simply’ kills

Ok, I will be really honest in here because I follow this blog for awhile. In OCN’s Voice, are women the only victims? Because I watched episode one when it aired but the idea of having only women being killer put me off. It seems to be an interesting drama, so I would like to know. I’m tired of the serial killer of women subplot, and to me it has ruined Strong Woman Do Bong Soon to the point I couldn’t pass through episode 3 (plus the weird mix of comedy, romance and brutal mystery).

Short answer: no, women are not the only victims.

Longer answer that attempts not to spoil too much: while the main killer definitely leaves quite a few bodies in his wake, there are just as many named women characters (that is, they have names and interact with the leads) as named male characters that are killed. While there are certainly aspects of the show that could be considered problematic (there’s a subplot that involves a baddie-of-the-week profiteering off of rape, although that’s not shown on-screen), the main killer simply kills those who are hindrances to him, no matter their gender. But there are definitely many brutal murders on this show, which I can understand being an issue for someone. Not all the deaths are due to the main killer, but all seem evenly divided along gender lines nonetheless.
