how are you, in your thirties, saying "thank you for hanging out with this old lady ho ho ho" to a guy in his twenties as if you're an elderly woman with whom he can't possibly have anything in common? is the average korean person this ashamed of being in their thirties? is it a cultural thing? or are these characters just weird? people in their twenties and thirties hang out together all the time where i live lol
Are you skimming through these chapters for you to not know that she’s not your average 30-year old? She was literally abused by her father, bullied by schoolmates, her one and only safe person became her worst nightmare. She was married to a guy who overtime turned into a narcissist. She doesn’t have friends. She has no social life, she was isolated and forced to rely and hold onto her ex-husband cause he’s all she’s got. She has low self esteem as that’s how the people around her made her feel SO OF COURSE, SHE DOESNT KNOW. She doesn’t know that’s normal. Also 10 years gap is still huge. ML is a college student and she was a working housewife. They were living a completely different life at least in her POV.
I don’t get why you still have to question things like this when it should be us who understands her the most.

I agree with you 100% i also hope she heals and knows her worth. She was robbed of being able to grow up carefree and enjoy her youth, but you can see that little by little she's starting to get her spark back

ok but it's not just her, mincheol also acts weird about his age. is that also because of his hard life? also yeah i get her having low self-esteem it's understandable but usually the insecurities you develop reflect society's prejudices and her own insecurities are HEAVILY focused on her age when she's only in her early thirties. so i wonder if it's not a common mentality in korea

like i could understand if she thought "oh i'm so unfashionable, my life is so boring, i have nothing to talk about 'cause i don't have money or time so i don't have hobbies" but more often she just thinks "oh man i'm so OLD i'm WASHED". if that's just her lamenting wasting her youth on mincheol i wish the narrative would make that a little clearer 'cause to me it looks she just has a complex about her age for some reason

In korea a lot of people dread the age '30'. I've been seeing patterns since I started reading manhwas in 2016. A lot of characters would be saying like "I'm turning 30, I'm an ahnumma now!". And in the real world, a lot of young Koreans would feel weirded out if they see a person in their 30s in a club, a party, or any gathering for young adults. And apparently when you turn that age, it's the time where you should spend all of your savings trying to look as young as possible. The whole "ahjumma" gimmick with the MC was something I ignored due to it happening often to other manhwas. Your comment lowkey made me think about it again.
