Adding: Nobody is going to be rational when in dire circumstances. She was being abused by her husband and HAD to leave. She should have taken him with her, YES, BUT it’s not completely farfetched for her run by herself. She left by herself and I bet that guilt led her to not seeking him out until she saw him years later by coincidence. She doesn’t know what he’s been through after. She’s been trying to be better after. It’s not completely forgivable but it’s a START. I cannot find it in me to detest her completely considering what they both went through.
… So I looked at the raws and SPOILERS:
Inwoo’s mom MIGHT (THATS A BIG MAYBE) KILLED THE FATHER??? and something something asked God for forgiveness???? (Korean raws but I can’t read Korean) They only talked for like 1 chapter it was wrapped up which is kinda bull imo ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
HOLY SHIT WAIT WAIT WAIT IM CONTINUING THE SPOILERS:
INWOO’S MOM RAN AWAY BECAUSE SHE WAS BEING ABUSED AND YEARS LATER WATCHED HER SON FROM HER SON GROW UP FROM HER CAR IN REGRET. ONE DAY SHE SEES INWOO WITH THE SAME FACE BLEMISHES AS SHE HAD WHEN SHE WAS ABUSED AND CONFRONTS THE DAD. THE DAD RUNS INTO THE STREET TO AVOIDE THE CONFRONTATION AND FREAKING DIES. A BUNCH OF PEOPLE SEE AND CALL HER THE MURDERER AND SO SHE GOES ON THE RUN AGAIN OMG WTFFFFF
IK MY COMMENT HAS BEEN A ROLLER COSTER BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT
WHAT
I feel for him and his mom. She was being abused and ran without a thought. It was selfish but she still went through a traumatic experience and I’m sure she regrets leaving without him every day. I think she didn’t go back to look for him bc of her trauma. She loved her child but there was basically no one to help her in that situation. Running away alone probably felt like the only option. Her cowardice(I don’t wanna use this term bc I can’t see what she did as bad OR good tbh), however, cost the one she loved most to get hurt which led to trauma that haunted him for the rest of his life.
They desperately need to talk and I think they’ll work it out. Not immediately but trauma always takes time to heal. They both went through so much which is why I can’t blame her for leaving or him for detesting her for running without him.
