Jiyhun

I feel like the side chapter with Jiyhun was cruel. It’s very obvious that even though five years has passed he is still “in love” with chiwoo when it could have been left at that. Having that side story where they stay together but even then it’s horrible is insanely cruel. Especially making it clear that he is insanely suicidal after everything that when down. Not saying you should be forgiven or even allowed back in his life because I think that was good. I think him saying “ i’m not gonna give you a hug as a friend because we are not friends” is good. However, I’m having the character who was being abused by his father who internalized how his father acted killing him/being insanely suicidal is a good ending like I’m sorry but wtf? Even the way the original story resolves with him being sent away to America without his brother, his only support system, was terrible. Now he’s engaged most likely to a woman he doesn’t love due to being in charge of his family’s company and like that’s insanely hopeless. He went from a child who was being beaten every day to an abuser to an actively suicidal man and I’m supposed to be happy about this? Mmm yeah. ok.

    His rich and can afford a therapist and what’s stopping him from getting a job and breaking away from his father? He can be an adult choose his own spouse, find his own support system. You’re acting like his father is holding him hostage from breaking away and choosing his own path.

    So like That doesn’t dress like half my points, but if I address yours, I would say abuse is complicated especially recovering from abuse and he is rich and he can’t afford a therapist, but that pathway isn’t linear like I don’t think downplay abuse is beneficial to anyone. He’s an adult right but who really knows how active the father is in the company which we don’t know because we don’t really have information on him. Also, I was talking about when he was being sent to America when he was sent to America. He didn’t have a support system. You can’t just find a support system. You have to find people and it takes a while to build that support system. You’re making long and complicated processes down easy when they’re not. Of course he can find a spouse but you know how hard it is to find a spouse like are you crazy? and that still doesn’t address the point that he’s like actively suicidal like what are you honestly talking about?
