Ah Jin is a Sociopath
Ah Jin is a sociopath.
The one thing that kept me fascinated with this drama was the idea of perpetual victimhood. In trying to escape poverty, she became an eternal victim. By never moving forward, she was forever stuck in the past.
The downfall caused by Jun Seo can be said to be his final way of helping her heal, teaching her that manipulation is not the key to success. But alas, she never learns.
Jae Oh has taken off his victimhood, but he is reeled into Ah Jin’s net. He can’t help it, she made him feel useful.
One thing I want to mention, is that without the background of domestic abuse, I would not have been able to feel empathy for Ah Jin. I believe that this background is an intentional insertion by the original author, to ensure that readers and viewers understand Ah Jin’s actions.
All in all, a great story, and a cautionary tale against revenge.
Might I add that I have added multiple soundtracks to my playlist.
