I feel really bad for Eusung. He’s been pressured his whole life to do and be “the best he can be”, and it’s not even HIS best it’s all for others. Their validation. The pressure that they put on him is really toxic. They don’t even seem to take a step back and realize how damaging that is to him. People can hide things like that under “good intentions” but for many that’s not the case. Take for example his professor. He’s hiding his malicious intent behind “good intentions”.
Yes I can understand where his parents are coming from, but it’s their responsibility as his parents to also listen to what he wants to do because it is his life. This is how people end up fucked up and lost when they get old enough to finally not give af. I know some people would disagree with this and feel as though they wished they’d had a similar experience, but until you’ve been through it will you actually realize how isolating and mentally exhausting it actually is.
I really hope Soohyun gets his head out of his ass, and learns to at-least try to understand where Eunsung is coming from. Have some empathy. I know from experience, Eunsungs life only looks good from the external gaze. Unless you’re actually him, and in his head would you realize how utterly fucked it actually is.
