Just as I had thought, it was postpartum depression. I initially suspected it may have been due to her feeling like the baby took away her youth but it was much much worse. There was nothing she could have done because it was brought upon her by her surroundings and the surroundings also did nothing to help her. Nobody figured out she was feeling sad, so they didn't help... and the sadder the felt, the more she resented herself for feeling this way falling into this vicious spiral. I feel really sorry for her and she 100% deserves a second chance. Only dying freed her of the depression spiral and only now is she capable of seeing things more from a more rational place which is tragic. And even though it was not her fault, it feels like she is the only one trying which makes me really sad. I really really hope for her to have a happy ending, she is such a lovely and affectionate woman who got destroyed by depression and people blaming her for being depressed without reaching out to her. She deserves a happy ending. Anyone who is shaming her for being depressed and trying change things now should be ashamed of themselves. You would have been a part of the reason for her depression had you been in her surroundings.
You took the words right out of my own mouth. I honestly hope the husband and son come to see all that she’s suffered and not put her down cause she was a “bad mother”. She honestly wasn’t even the worst. At least she didn’t abuse the kid
I love the kids so much, they are so cute omg(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Gurl, you've got absolutely no right to call out Ripley, the amount of second hand embarrassment that I feel is the exact fricking same. Honestly, a self centered person like this who is forcing her ideals onto others who thinks she knows everything because she has read some book? Would be a hard pass for me (⌒▽⌒) I hope the progress will be her growing up a little bit and will see him as an actual person... Also, real Peony's wish was for her to live happily and I assume to make her family happy... I hope them dealing with a willful teenager is the definition of happy or Peony won't be able to rest in peace omfg
Guys, if tou think that if the ML was the older one, nobody would bat an eyelash... Y'all go read or re-read Usagi Drop. Creepy shit, the ending completely destroyed the whole wholesomeness of the manga and I personally don't know anyone who didn't hate it. ლ(´ڡ`ლ) Anyways, apart from the age gap, the problem here is that she is in the position of his guardian and him growing up and not seeing her as mother would be weirder since he came to her when he was 7 and for her to stop regarding him as a son/a child she brought up. The mental age thing is already uncomfortable enough for me (including all the isekais where MC gets transmigrated/reincarnated into a baby's body), physical age gap + parent-child relationship is a cherry on top. Same reason why I'm uncomfortable with Child of this House or Daughter of the Emperor as well as most parents-relationships in Cardcaptor Sakura. Anyways, the art is pretty and their interactions are pretty funny so I'm going to continue until the romance kicks in, that's probably when I'm going to drop this ╮(￣▽￣)╭ this is a nice case of liking something but still being critical of it for me I guess...or maybe liking a part of it
Oh god, please don’t remind me of usagi drop... so far, it doesn’t seem like either has any romantic feelings so it’s pretty good so far, and at least the fact that the MC is immortal makes age gaps more easier to handle(for some reason) the only problem is that shes basically his mom and I just don’t want to think about it XD
omg YES I've been complaining about child of this house too. like even if we forget the part about the mental ages, the fact that they literally watched them grow up is what makes me really uncomfortable! i kinda still had hope that they wouldn't end up together in child of this house but i guess not
Also, I don’t like age gaps in general and I really don’t like it when the ml is like way older than the mc and he also has known her since she was a child. Like hakflsbdkdn
fr even in books where the fl is actually older in mental age, it's still weird both ways cause the man doesn't know that but he's still attracted to a "child" #?#-#($($
but like I'm still reading this cause I'm not sure but does she end up with him or not? i cant see how they'd pull that off cause she's like a mom to him rn
I think someone said that the ml falls in love first and the whole love drama in the plot is him trying to get her to see him in a romantic light I think.
The age gaps just get creepier the older I am myself... Like how do you not see a teenager as a child is beyond me ┗( T﹏T )┛ and the whole 'but the younger one is mentally older which is why we just get each other' is used irl by grown-ass adults being attracted to 15 year olds is like hell no dude you're just freaking creepy, no matter how mature a 15 year old think they are, they are still just 15 for goodness sake and you should know better!
Same... Idk maybe they will pull it off really well but if it's going to be the creeping in suspicion of a questionable romance, I'm going to say byebye and live with the image of the two of them as happy mom and son in my head
guess I'm dropping it then lol. I'll wait till the romance starts tho the mom and son relationship is really cute rn
fr I'm 15 rn and I'm always"thirsting" after older men in books but if they were to reciprocate irl it would be VERY creepy actually.
So true XD like, I may fangirl over Claude from suddenly became a princess, but if he actually reciprocated, I would be so turned off cause that’s creepy as fck XD
With u on this one
Most of the time I've git no clue what's going on but neither does Yuna so we all good! I love them all lmao, hope to see more from Yuna's loving papa and mama, they are such a cute family! ! (≧∀≦)
I'm dead omfg. First of all, our Byulie became a pretty little baby girl ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ well, he's pretty enough to pass as a girl (づ￣ ³￣)づ secondly, Hyesung (and probably Byul too?) awakening their inner alpha after meeting the ultra-beautiful (and let's be honest - he's rich af and we know how Hyesung loves money lmaoo) is hysterical and now Dojin is being jealous of an omega being entranced by omegas even though they're bonded?? How do these things even happen lmao it's like when a husband is jealous when his wife says she likes this actor ╮(￣▽￣)╭alsoo, I didn't know Hyesung's friends were a couple! <3
I'm looking forward to see more of the FL! From how her friend described her + from what we've seen from her at work so dar, she seems like an amazing person in and out!
I've got a bad feeling that she had post-partum depression and if that's the case then she got better omly after dying once which is absolutely awful... Anyways, like... I don't get the logic?? He is condemning her f9r being an awful mother so now he gets to be am awful father? What?? This is youbway for making it up to the child? Excuse you, what??
You literally live thanks to somebody's unconditional kindness and treat people like shit... Like, I could understand him getting mad at those who made mistakes and obviously het high on abusing their power but the others (ie the FL)? Is there any reason to be an asshole to an innocent person? It's like spitting on the kindness he received . At least be decent enough to find her temporary accommodation jesus christ.
Srry. I meant to downvote.
I just don't see why he should help her find accomodation. Plus, in the end, he's letting her stay for a full week while he sleepins in a hotel.
I'm quite sure he allowed her to stay for an extra week only after she almost kneeled down and begged him... And as I've mentioned, it's not like a bit of kindness will cost him his life unlike the one who saved him (〜￣△￣)〜 I'm a big supporter of paying kindness back with kindness ╮(￣▽￣)╭ but like by kindness in this case I don't mean pay for her new appt, I simply mean just tasking someone to look for rental places and showing those to her. Giving her less than 24h eviction notice is just inhuman considering it was the night before, then she is 8h at work, leaving her with like 5 hours in the evening to find a new place, sign a lease, move all of her stuff. An extremely rich dude not giving a shit about normal human beings and ready to throw them out to be homeless just leaves a slightly bad taste ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ also, sorry for the essay and thank you for coming to my Tedtalk! It might be because I know the awful struggle of finding a new place... Even a week feels impossible (especially if you want decent living conditions) let alone less than a freaking day.
Also, apology accepted.
I understand where u r coming from but i still think he wasn't THAT bad.
True, he let her after she almost kneeled to him. So what? He still let her. By letting her, he'll have to pay money while he sleeps outside, and i doubt he'll go to a cheap motel. He'll be outside for 7 days paying for every single night.
Having said this, i also agree paying kindness back w kindness.
True, he let her just one day to find a place but, by that, he means for her to go to a hotel or a motel while she figures out everything. It's nothing outrageous. And he moved out her stuff, she didn't do it. She could wait til she found a new place and then get her stuff.
It might leave kind of a bad taste, yes...but bruh, how could u expect him to be even slightly okay w sleeping in the same place as a complete stranger??? Like bruh?? Think of it the other way around, if u went home after a long time and there was a dude there without ur consent, would u let him stay? Mayb u would, but it wouldn't be comfortable. At least, most ppl wouldn't b, tho, ofc, that's just a supposition.
But ye, i'm also sorry for my long message lol. And true, the struggle to find a new decent place is so real ;-;
Ty. I also accept ur apology for ur Ted-Talk.
Wait, I don't think I ever insinuated that they should live together. They are complete strangers aftwr all... But still they *both* are victims of the situation. His attitude does not help me in the slightest with sympathising with him but I still try to do so. And so does the FL seeing how she was relieved that he at least didn't throw her stuff away. Btw, are you familiar with Asian cultures? Kneeling is one if the most humiliating things you cam do (though I guess that's everywhere?) which for me represented how utterly desparate she was, as in there was literally no other choice. Especially for a girl who was willing to walk around 20 different restaurants to find one that could hold 150 freaking people - she would have found a place if she could have. Leaving out this background story that he couldn't have known - at the very least he barged back in without informing his sister (though I am not quite sure who that place belongs to, but previous arrangements are still previous arrangements - he had allowed her to live there and he knew about it so he should have given her a prior notice) so he could have proposed a solution. Something like a) my secretary found this place, rent is this much a month, this is all I can do for you, b) go stay at a hotel, I will move your things to a storage in meantime, you have 3 days to get them or anything. If I'm not wrong, she was paying for half of that place, which means that she was an unknowing tenant being thrown out and had she had a contract with her friend (which she most likely unfortunately does not have) she could have sued him. To summarize, ideally adults should deal with stuff rationally and humanely but we need a bratty ML to have him experience a visible growth I guess... ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Side note on the kneeling - the kind where you are paying respects is, of course, something completely different. I was just talking about kneeling as begging for something (a favour, forgiveness etc.) a person like that is throwing away their 'face' - i.e. Dignity, self-esteem, they position themselves humanely and physically as low as possible to show the other how much better they are, regarding them as monarchs or even gods. It's just something no human should feel the need to do because it's not only extremely humiliating, it also shows how this person has absolutely no other way out of the situation... ┗( T﹏T )┛ but on the bright side, ML still has enough decency to not let her do that and allow her an alternative (even though reaching this alternative needed for her to show her despair and helplessness )
Yes, idk why she was that desperate when she rlly could go to a motel? But ig she still thought that mayb he'd let her stay if she showed how desperate she was.
Besides that, yes, his personality doesn't help but ig that's just part of his character, not wanting to understand the other, which, ofc, is not an excuse...but it is relatable up to some point (which doesn't matter either). As for the options u said, i think so too but:
a) it still shouldn't be up to him to find her a place. Yes, it's easy to think of but to make ur secretary do that? Keeping in mind that he doesn't want to have anything to do w the mc? Also, that's very kind, but many ppl rn't like that.
b) He already proposed this to her before she kneeled.
And ye...guess we'll have to wait for his character growth lol.
Ye.
i feel like we could also think about it from his perspective– he came back to korea and went to HIS house but somebody else whom he does not know is living there
so now he doesnt have a place to live unless this person who is staying in HIS house leaves
he is a bit of a jerk ab it but then again aren't all of the crazy rich good looking guys in manhwas jerks too
I do agree his attitude was a bit too mean, but again shes a freeloader, she doesn't pay rent (the ml even asked how much she pays for rent but she couldn't respond cuz she's a freeloader) and it is his house. Imo it's just a bit mean that he only gave her a day to move out so suddenly . Also if the fl can beg on her knees to the ml y doesn't she beg to her friend (the sister) or y doesn't the sister help find another place since she's rich. If I had the capability to help out my bestie, knowing her situation, I will. Until she can survive on her own.
My heart was RACING when she collected all that evidence and threatened to destroy that piece of shit!! Hari you are such a boss!! She deserves the best in the world... I don't fucking care about any of the other selfish assholes, just all fuck off and leave my Hari alone! (︶︿︶)＝凸 In my ideal world a new loyal OP CEO would show up to sweep her of her feet and give her all the best while the rest of the charas drown in jealousy ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ But if ML is the blond dude... Bro had better suffer through hell and back before she accepts him, smh(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
