Cabbage Your Life Episode 6

Truths and lies revealed

The guy spying was from the company but not for the boss. He was a prior manager sent to the village and he did not want a repeat of what happened with him. He has a very detailed board of events that I wish he would share with Seong and village chief so they could get a bead on what’s going on. Village chief and Mr Seong stake out the cabbage field and discover who was there and what happened. This turned into a poignant scene as a mother suffering dementia was digging up the area where they had buried her youngest child’s clothes. They were trying to break her out of her mourning for her lost son. Mr Seong was seen as Mak Dung by the mother and she cuddled him for quite awhile basking in what she believed was her son’s embrace. While all this was happening the mom was looking for her boys and found eldest just ready to kiss a girl. This led to a series of events where mom learned the truth about him dropping out of school and after a rather violent reaction they learned she was taking meds for panic attacks. In a sweet scene eldest son and Bo Mi were cutting radishes and he was getting over his fear of knives and cutting. So she helped him work through some of his surgery trauma. The villagers came with baby plants to replace the ones Ms Mak destroyed digging for baby clothes. Right when things seemed to be settling down Seong’s shady boss shows up. He gives a fake reports about all the pesticides and hard metals found in the samples. Seong knew this was a total crock but proving it is key. It seems rather than paying the villagers to produce cabbage, they want to force the villagers out of their homes and take the land. This episode keyed in on understanding, sympathy and coming to terms with children making unexpected choices.
