A series of criminal sexual charges against rich, powerful, famous men show the continued prevalence of ‘rape culture.’
When I first heard the phrase “rape culture” years ago, it sounded so dystopian that I wanted to believe it was an exaggeration.But then came shocking revelations from all corners: the Catholic Church sex scandal, the Boy Scout sex scandal, the Fox News sex scandals, the Bill Cosby sex scandal and the numerous revelations of the #MeToo movement.Any doubt about the existence of rape culture simply crumples under the weight of reality.“I don’t always use that term because it is too...

The drama also revealed glimpses of Hong Deok Soo’s past relationship with Seol Mae Hwa from when she was a child. Back when Seol Mae Hwa was her father’s student, the two were especially close, and Seol Mae Hwa was even the one to teach her how to win at dice. However, their story abruptly ended in tragedy when Hong Deok Soo witnessed Seol Mae Hwa killing her father.
In the upcoming third episode of the drama, Seol Mae Hwa will recall the young Hong Deok Soo—who then went by the name of Hong Jae On.

As their past is gradually revealed, there will be unexpected twists in their story.
To find out what happened between the two women in the past—and what lies in store now that they have reunited—tune in to the third episode of “Check in Hanyang” on December 28 at 9:10 p.m. KST!
