The popular U+ Mobile TV K-Drama “Friendly Rivalry” has been generating buzz both in Korea and abroad. Adapted from a popular webtoon, the series features actress Hyeri in a leading role and has drawn attention for its GL (Girl Love) theme.
While Hyeri previously made headlines for a kiss scene, viewers were even more taken aback by a provocative statement from another actress with a K-pop background.
In one scene, former I*ZONE member Kang Hye-won delivers a shocking line: “So you’re saying you masturbate at school? I do it often, too.”
The unexpected dialogue left netizens in disbelief, sparking widespread reactions and discussions online.
Comments on instiz:
- I never expected to see Hyeri in such an intense scene ㅇㅇㅈㅇ and now Kang Hyewon saying something like this too ㅋㅋㅋ I don’t have U+, but seriously, what kind of drama is this?..
- They really crammed in all the provocative stuff…
- This is completely different from the original… I went in expecting the original story, but it’s so off, and the character portrayal is a mess. I’m not even a hardcore fan, but I can imagine how frustrated the original fans must be.
- What is this drama even about?? Is it GL or what?
- Why you have to do that at school?
This unexpected turn of events in “Friendly Rivalry” has left viewers questioning the direction of the series and its portrayal of characters, sparking mixed reactions and ongoing debates about the adaptation’s departure from the original source material.
