Yea but like, they still left her lmao. I mean I’m pretty sure the FL logically knows this situation is because not their fault. But we don’t know the extent of what happened to just simply say “They did nothing wrong” because what if they are at some fault? (Could range from not wanting to engage with her because they feel too bad about it to doing shit to her in the past). Ngl I think it’s sort of the easy way out for the mother to be like “yea I’m not going to contact her because she hates me lmao” like she’s facing abuse- are you not gonna check up on her??? Something simple as that ???
Just let you know, Asian is different from Western countries. In most Asian countries, even law and police cannot/don't protect victims of domestic violence unless they got serious hurt or murdered.
Even after divorce, there is no way to stop ex-husband approaching his ex-wife and kid. The only method to escape from this kind of situation is moving to another city. I think that's why Jamin and his mother moved out from Seoul.
However, in chapter 9, when Joon saw Jamin, the first thing came to her mind is "damn it, so that's why they wanted to move here." The abusive husband is still chasing his ex-wife!
Jamin's mother just temporarily escape from the hell. Even if she had contacted Joon before, I am pretty sure there wouldn't be much difference.
Actually, in the real world, Jamin's mother could be much more dangerous than Joon. In my homeland country, there are a lot of news about divorced women got chased and killed by their ex-husbands. Even they had already moved to another city. That's why I feel so upset when I saw people try to blame Jamin's mother.
She is another victim of Joon's father. Please STOP requiring a perfect victim.
I am Korean girl-thanks for the education talk about my own country ahahah. I never said the step-mom and step-bro were not victims. I’m pointing out how it’s kinda weird to just say that they “did nothing wrong” because the story hasn’t even completed yet lmao. We can make assumptions yes, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to completely justify every character when you don’t even know the whole situation yet ya know? There’s more to the story and you can still be a victim and contribute negatively to a situation.
It may be wired to assume a victim "did nothing wrong", but it's definitely more wired to assume a victim is guilty without any evidence.
Besides, you can't blame the step-mother for leaving even if the father became worse after divorce. It's unfair to require her to sacrifice herself and her own kid for her step-daughter's sake.
Yes, the ML is suffering. But it's the abusive father's fault, not Jamin and his mother's.
ok
Omg my husband is so abusive that i need to leave and move far a away to protect myself and my son
Although im close to my step daughter (whos a minor) and love her, ill leave her alone with her abusive father and just disappear. Im sure she’ll handle it fine with no support or protection
Although the stepmother is also a victim, as an adult she made the choice to leave a child that she cares for in the hands of a monster instead of fighting for her safety. Although I understand that in Korea, she had limited choices she IS NOTcompletely blameless.
The mother and brother are also at fault here
wait but im pretty sure on one chapter she said that her and her half brother have the same mom but different dads.
I feel bad for the FL. But her brother and his mother did nothing wrong.
Jimin is Joon's half-brother. His mother is not her mother. It is impossible to get custody of ex-husband's kid. It is also unfair to ask Jimin and his mother continue living with abusive father/husband just for Joon's sake.
