Taking time to heal

Chae-Rok fights the urge to overdue and determines to go to rehab and heal before competing. He vows to himself to learn from his mentor’s mistake and be wise about taking care of his body. He and Deok-Chul share a nice moment when the elder describes a lengthy healing he went through to regain use of his leg. This gave Chae-Rok food for thought to weigh the difference in waiting to heal and not. Deok-Chul and his mentor were striking differences in the repercussions of having patience and not. Deok-Chul has some asinine neighbors who thinks it’s funny to tease him about the silliness of his dancing. It is bad enough from them but that even his daughter agrees just shows how ignorant even family can be. She and oldest are the worst in attitude. When she makes continual excuses for her loser husband, whom she loves enough to put up with——I just don’t get her not having the same compassion for her dad. This may be a result of mom’s hovering and overriding ways, but surely some common sense is in there somewhere😝 This has Deok-Chul questioning if he should even try to dance. I am glad Chae-rok’s mentor has stopped being an arrogant ass and wising up on how to actually be useful. He may yet find life in dance worthwhile as a teacher. Deok-Chul finally gets to perform before the class. The special dances of him and lady in wheelchair were especially beautiful. The appreciation of ballet without the snobbery of perfect technique is a needed lesson and reminder for mentor. He has begrudged the world his talent once he could no longer perform and thanks to his friend and Chae-Rok, he may find joy through his students. Deok-Chul left behind his little notebook he is always writing in. Chae-Rok starts reading and finds out what we already knew——Deok-Chul has Alzheimer’s.
