One thing i’ve realized is that it’s always impossible for the parent to balance the love properly, most parents have at least a little favoritism even among their biological children, and when a child who isn’t related by blood is added to the mix it only adds to the tension, either the bio or adopted kid is favored and the children can tell when that’s the case, and as someone who had jealous issues among my siblings i can’t imagine how it would feel knowing the other isn’t even related to you. It makes you question your whole life, like how can your mom not favor you even when she gave birth to me herself? In the end the mother shouldn’t have had a kid if she was going to treat him like the other orphans thats she’s raising, she even pushed him a bit farther away bc she knew the other kids could get jealous but that’s just wrong.
Chinese dramas js love to include anything that is seemingly immoral but really aren’t too violent so lots of law breaking nd the like. Korean dramas love violence, abuse, and torture for some reason. American dramas are try hards that are always a step behind the trends nd always seem pretty unrealistic and idealistic. Hispanic dramas or telenovela love family drama between sisters and in laws when in comes to romantic relationships’ trials. Japanese dramas love slow burn, almost never anything too sensual is ever included. Indian dramas love wife swapping. Arab dramas love their mean girls and social hierarchies within youth. And honestly I havent watched much others but plenty of European dramas have a really vintage or cafe romance vibe. (Ps I don’t know shit abt film js love dramas (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ)
I personally don’t hate any of the male leads, and this is definitely a first for the mls not being assholes. I just also feel like for now, neither of the mls are really a good match for agnes especially bc they both sort of have trauma related to the og agnes. it’s js sorta feels wrong for them to be paired with her, like they are slowly forgiving the incidences with the og agnes when in the end mc is a completely diff person. I dont know it just feels wrong.
