You know....this is why I don't like when people are like "it was your parents' responsibility to feed you, to put a roof over your head, to provide you with everything" and honestly, was it?? Many, MANY parents choose to abandon their kids, or if not abandon, abuse or neglect them, very few actually do their best to raise their kids in an appropriate manner. This is also why I hate when I tell someone that "you know, my mom called me useless the other day" and they respond with "what a bitch, then she'll question why she's in an old age home" and NOOO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, how do I tell them that it's not her fault, how do I tell them that I still love her, how do I let them know that this one act does not make me hate her. She might say hurtful things sometimes but that will never diminish the sacrifices that she made to ensure that I get the best of what the world has to offer. This is why this show made me cry so much because I could totally understand geum myeong's perspective, her anger, her annoyance but also her guilt, her love. It was just so relatable. We see our parents as "mom" and "dad" but what about them as a person, what about their identity that is separate from parenthood, their childhood, their dreams, their struggles and just....this show hits so hard, it really forces you to think about these things, to look beyond yourself. I loved this show, I loved it so much.
