Not for Cosmopolitan people, normalizes Stagnation

I couldn't relate to this drama.
I found the overall life philosophy all wrong.
I've been thinking what exactly I found wrong:

Romantizising sacrifice and being an eternal victim. Martyrdom Complex.
Especially normalizing women sacrifizing all for family.
Normalizing giving up dreams rather than AT LEAST trying to move forward EVEN A LITTLE.

A drama about STAGNATION and Anti-selfgrowth.

To me life is about moving forward and improving your circumstances, not accepting your circumstances.
Even if the process is slow and hard, it's much better than this ETERNAL VICTIMHOOD this drama disgustingly praises...

EXPLORATION, rather than just being stuck in a small island all life....
This drama is definitely not for more cosmopolitan city people or multiligual people who enjoy travel...
Drama more for people who grew up in small towns similarly to the leads...
