My First First Love Episode 2

Holy Crap!

Trigger warning for neglect and suicidal ideations.This show got real heavy real quick. I was expecting a carefree light drama about romance and friendship and while this show is about that I wasn't expecting them to tackle topics of homelessness, neglect, and suicidal ideation. Song Yi gets evicted from her home and her mother (who's been MIA up until this point) finally gives her a call only to disappoint Song Yi by telling her that she has no intention of returning. (At least for now according to her, but I doubt it.) Song Yi takes a walk along a bridge where she calls a suicide hotline and vents about her situation. This episode hit me hard in a lot of places. The neglect of her mom and the subsequent pattern of thought that Song Yi has a result is something I could relate to. This is by no means a bad thing it was just a very sudden very hard to swallow pill. I don't know when the next hard emotional impact is going to be, but it makes me cautious of the episodes to come. Wasn't expecting to relate so much to the character in this way, but damn!
