I just watched through a Korean drama with the wife -- The Glory.
It centers on an absolutely awful, spoiled rich girl who commits unforgivable acts getting her comeuppance.
You spend the entire series seeing the terrible things she's done and is currently doing, and rooting for her to be taken down.
When it finally comes and she turns on the waterworks, I still had that "I want to protect this girl" instinct kick in. It's just something we have to recognize and suppress.
Every single remotely masculine man can immediately feel the vibe change whenever a woman enters a previously all-male space. If a man doesn’t recognize it, that’s a huge red flag against him in the eyes of all the other men.

That's what male-only spaces used to be for, an escape from the hypnosis so you can come back to you senses.

I was barely a teenager and I still recognized that this was a thing that happened.
I can't really fathom just how much of an NPC you have to be to think it doesn't.
Most K-dramas involve either a rich haughty girl or a poor girl...
Then again, I watched them in the 90s when growing up because we had a local Korean over-the-air station that subtitled a lot of these slop dramas lol
almost always the boyfriend dies/lost memory in car accident
