I know that most of us are here for the father and daughter’s wholesome bonding moments. But I think that we’re forgetting the fact that they’re basically strangers before her regression.
Yeon’s father was absent in her life in the previous timeline. She needed to be regressed, for her to be the one to take the initiative to reach out to her father. For them to have the relationship that they have now. From what I remember, they both thought that the other person hated them.
As a parent, Yeon’s father should’ve taken the first step to communicate with her, even if he thinks that his daughter hates her. At least talk to her first, before making any conclusions. So that they can resolve any misunderstandings or problems they have with each other. He should’ve also shown Yeon that there is someone in their household that she can trust. Someone that can make her feel comfortable, safe, and loved.
I’m not going to blame Yeon’s father too much. As the current him is up there when it comes to being a father in a father and daughter manhwa. I just think that he doesn’t know how to be a good parent, or be a parent just in general before. But I think that it’s also a given to interact with your child. And show and make them feel that you care as a parent.
I don’t know what was my point of writing all of this. I guess that it’s the parents’ job to guide and be present, more so in their child’s early life. Good for Yeon and his father to have the chance to fix their relationship. But we don’t have that kind of opportunity in real life. We just regret and only think of “what if” when it’s too late.
