The romantic comedy "Let's Take You Go" revolves around Yoo Meri (Jung So Min) - the female CEO of a design company who is having trouble after her future husband cheated and canceled her marriage.
After that, she accidentally won the award for luxurious bride's house, but to receive the gift, the prerequisite was to be "a newlywed couple".
Therefore, Meri proposed a fake 9-day marriage with Kim Woo Joo (Choi Woo Sik) - the heir to the oldest bakery in Korea - who also had the same name as his ex-fiance.
The movie "Let Me Go" aired from the evening of October 10 with a viewership rating of 5.6% and gradually increased with each episode. Up to now, the film has aired 6/12 episodes and achieved the highest rating of 7.5%. However, in episode 6 (evening of October 25), the film was embroiled in controversy.
In this episode, Doctor Yoon Jin Kyung (Shin Seul Ki) performs artificial breathing for a runner with cardiac arrest. During this process, a man secretly filmed Jin Kyung because he saw her wearing revealing clothes.
Seeing that, Baek Sang Hyun (Bae Na Ra) took his jacket and gave Jin Kyung a shield and performed cardiac surgery on her behalf.
He then chased the undercover cameraman and confiscated his phone to delete the video, warning: Illegal filming can be subject to a maximum of 7 years in prison or a fine of less than 50 million won ($36,000). It seems like this is the first time, I will forgive you, but next time it will not happen."
This scene quickly spread and caused discussion on social networks. Many viewers criticized the production team for broadcasting sexy camera angles of female actors, while others said that the character's handling is reducing the severity of sex crimes when the perpetrator is forgiven without police intervention or legal consequences.
On the producer's side, initially, the videos recording the above scene were still posted with the content: "The rich man was caught red-handed secretly filming Shin Seul Ki and Bae Na Ra for a satisfactory lesson", but when the audience's reaction became increasingly harsh, SBS deleted all related videos.
However, the controversial scene has not been edited, and the production unit has not given an official response to the audience. This is considered a regrettable thing for the film "Give me your pick" when recently the film received many positive reactions from the audience thanks to the charming and beautiful acting of the cast, despite the not-so-new "first love, then love" film motif.
