I'm so scared for Oshin's future at her in-law's house

A lot of childhood memories were unlocked while I was watching this episode. My family used to live for a while in my grandparents' house because my father wanted to, which is similar to Oshin's situation. If my mother hadn't kept insisting on moving out, I guess we would have to live there for a longer time. Oshin's mother-in-law was very much like my grandmother on my father's side. She always goes easy on her daughters and spoils her sons while treating her in-laws pretty badly. Until now, I still can't get along well with my grandmother, uncles and aunts from my father's side because I can't forget the way they treated my mother. Sometimes I wonder if I am bad for doing that. I don't feel comfortable around them every time I visit them. No wonder my mother always says her life is very much like Oshin's. It made me so sad right now.

I relate to Kanade’s feelings

“Be your usual cheery, energetic self… Pretend this didn’t happen.”“No. We’ll do it!”She’s in pain and just poured her heart out in front of everyone, and that’s the only thing you could say to her? Ugh! That Matsumoto guy is insufferable. He’s so hypocritical. I hate him from the beginning. He keeps talking about all the great things but always let other people do the job for him. Why don’t you go and do it yourself? You’re the one who started the idea and now it’s Kanade who’s taking all the blame and pressure for the whole team. I still love this episode because I love what Kanade said. Somehow I relate to her story.

Truly heartbreaking

I totally didn't expect this was what happened at all when they mentioned a calamity at the end of episode 113. Oh my God, the screenwriter is a genius. I know what they are trying to do. So far they have added several important historical events in Japan from the beginning of the series. Oshin's life was involved in all of those events. But this is so heartbreaking. I think this was the most heartbreaking episode so far to me. Even though I already sensed that Genji would die when the earthquake happened, the moment I saw Genji's body holding Yu to protect him, I cried. I didn't expect he would die like that. Although I didn't like Genji at first, I feel that he was like a protective and loving father to Ryuzo and to Oshin as well. I'm literally not okay now. I think I will not watch any more episodes today.Ep 114

WTF

They confessed to each other but all I noticed is that the woman said she’s never been lucky ever since she was born and this made me so mad. Girl! How do you define luck? You’re pretty, healthy, smart, has a good job as a doctor, has the most supportive best friend ever and lives in a beautiful place, which is even bigger than my place and I don’t call myself poor. Obviously the rent for that place is not cheap and definitely not a price that a normal ‘poor’ salary person can afford. You’re definitely not as poor as you think. I don’t get why she’s always calling herself poor and miserable. She’s not poor! I’m so done with the screenwriter. If you want to make her a poor and miserable woman, at least make her look and live like one. Do you know how a rented house for poor people look like? Even though I don’t live in China, I’m pretty sure the female lead’s house is not for the poor there. 😩😒🤦‍♀️

Oshin’s mother showed up

I didn’t expect to see Oshin’s mother again and it made me feel both happy and sad. Hope she will stay with her daughter for a long time and those two will have the best time together.“You’re the luckiest woman in all Japan!”. I feel that every Asian mother would often treat her daughter’s husband like a prince, even though the guy doesn’t really do much for his wife. I’m not sure. I think my late grandma used to say the same to my father in front of both of them. A lot of people said that it’s because the mother wants her daughter to be treated well in her husband’s family. In this case, Oshin’s husband just said he had everything he had now thanks to Oshin, which is an obvious fact. And that’s already makes Oshin the luckiest woman? It should be opposite.

Beautiful

This episode really touched me. I’m watching it at the right moment. If I’d watched this drama a few years earlier, it would not have touched me this much, as I’ve witnessed a similar situation lately.My mom’s best friend recently got back together with her high school sweetheart in her late 60s after splitting up due to a misunderstanding in their late teens. They were married though, but they had been single for years before they met again. Now they are living together, and holding hands and going everywhere together. I bet this must be a great news for everyone who knows both of them. I heard it was greatly celebrated during a class reunion lately. 🥹
