Also, Sandglass/Moraeshigye is the perfect example of the fact a female writer doesn't always mean good female representation on screen. There were THREE (3) female characters on Sandglass with one having almost no purpose except being there(Reporter Shin / Lee Seung Yeon), one being relegated to the traditional loyal, chaste/pure and obedient wife role (Sun Young/Jo Min Soo), and only one female character (Yoon Hye Rin / Go Hyun Jung) that has a character with substance, nuance and a story.
And you even might have noticed : Hye Rin is the only female character with a full name. We don't know Sun Young's full name, and we don't even know Reporter Shin's given name in the drama. Which means only one goddamn woman on the show can connect with the viewers properly.
And I could go on about how both Reporter Shin and Sun Young were portrayed with only one personality trait, making Hyerin the only one with a personality. They were also only mentioned or seen in relation to Wooseok or Taesoo (and Wooseok). Hyerin was the only woman on the show with 1) Lines 2) a multifaceted personality
