I haven't seen Miss Saigon, but I believe Madame Butterfly was my first opera. I don't remember a single thing, but I just read its Wikipedia page, and holy Orientalism, Batman! Screw the classics—a lot of art needs to be left in the past where it belongs.
But yay for K-pop and Bridgerton! I still need to read Benedict's story, so I'm down for a buddy read if you are :)
You'd think because it already caused controversy, no one would want to create an even more politically charged remake, but here we are 🙃 And hmm...I don't know how you would react to Benedict's story. I'm wondering how Shonda will handle it because asking Sophie to be his mistress every five seconds got a little old.
