So I get that people are pissed off at the mom for having a psychotic episode and stabbing Yunhwi, which is totally valid, but that’s not even the worst thing about her. So her family has had a sentient (non malicious) spirit chained up in their basement for hundreds of years to force it to give them good luck… and it never occurred to her to set him free? It seems like he was basically chained up in the dark for most of that time, so basically solitary confinement and restraint. Her stabbing him was a the result of a sudden mental breakdown (not to say she doesn’t have to take blame and responsibility for it), but she got up every day since she was a kid knowing he was imprisoned for her family’s convenience… and never thought about how horrible that was. To me, that’s way worse than her attacking him.
