I feel like this drama started off strong but got progressively messier and more convoluted. I never knew whether to feel sorry for Yoon Gyeom or shake my head at his lack of motivation to help himself 😑
It started off great, I lost interest towards the second half. I think a lot of that is due to Bo Gyeom's character. He was really frustrating and not like comic Bo Gyeom. Comic BG at least recognised somewhat when he fucked up and showed a level of repentance. Kdrama BG turned tail and fucking left. He showed no remorse. I understand that he lost his love, but his anger was misguided and once he learned that, he didn't even think to apologise once to the people whose life he made hell. I could not empathise with Kdrama BG. Nope.
I'm so mad that they didn't give us more scenes from him so we could understand him better. All the Jin star and…
Mmm I felt like the Jin Star scenes were too much. I did like the Bok Gyu scenes but I felt like they became the only form of comic relief by the end and weren't really essential. It would have been good to see more of Do Gyeong yeah. Although I suppose knowing now what his fate will be, it would just make me more sad to see him more as a person lol. I'd feel the sadness more of wondering how life could have been so different for him.
I cried for Do Gyeong when it showed the scene when he was young. Yes, he was a pain and hateful and a 'villain" but he, well, the poor thing never wanted to be. It really got me how he was in a way the first victim of his dad since his birth and always had to be worthy to feel something. How he needed to protect him and his Mum. I feel like the kid never even got the chance to learn what being a good person is and if he had, he would have been very different. It's just so sad how he spent his life and ultimately found freedom after giving up on himself and his Mum. It got me when he said it's your turn now. It's like he knew the whole time he got abused, at least his Mum was fine.
I know that this is the way people treated women and believed they should act back in those times. Be a one man woman and all that. It still makes me mad though 😑. I also am struggling to guess whether her father in law is nice or evil. He's kind but then seems dodgy? idefk. This one's a tough one or I'm just lost 😅
