This is giving me such Dream High vibes. But like if Dream High was written in 2020 and not 2011 and about tech…
same writer and I know she likes having a format from previous drama's I am just glad no-one has any supernatural dreaming or hearing abilities.
Cause While you were sleeping was beautiful and all but felt a lot like her previous drama I can hear your voice. Not to mention it came at a time where we already had Pinocchio.
Yes it definitely seems like there were potential different endings they were working with. Though, I can recall…
Well now that I think about it his character was kind of weak. He is the man of the family so it's just so odd that she expected him to obey her when he was +19.
The mother would just do aweful things whenever he became unhinged and fought back but dark personalities only have so much control over ones life and it's the control you give them.
He could leave with his sister when his mom threw his shoes out. Just completely abandon her then and there.
Come back to China and tell his dad who is a cop what she did to him. Then go to some nearby city to hide while he invites his girlfriend to visit from time to time.
Yeah, agreed.! If i'd had to stay what type of disorder I'd have thought they were trying to depict borderline…
Borderline sounds more like it. It is extremely unsafe.
I lived with a significant other both in China for a month and in the U.S. for about 9 months. We dated for maybe over a year. He had severe NPD.
His parents were really nice to me over in China. However, as I watched this drama though its been years I started picking up on things I heard a lot around me during that time (in Chinese of course). Thinking oh that's what his sister and family were fighting over control.
Glad I ran from the relationship after it started threatening my life. I do miss his parents though. Although his mom was overbearing.
I still gave this show a 10/10 just because the subject matter hit me hard and the first few episodes were good represntations of domestic abuse.
I am sure that the Chinese sensors probably wouldn't have accepted a "kid destroys his maternal family roots" ending. Or you know Chinese society is just so tied to that stuff that they don't understand it.
Yeah coming from PTSD that was not it. She had untreated grief in the begining of the plot but after that nope she was just plan out idk what but... Bipolor disorder or something. She wasn't as cunning a narcissistic personality disorder (the one mother of the smartest high school girl gave me that vibe). She had some empathy for others but she was always me me me me and I don't care about anyone else.
PTSD could have caused a lot of this but the young son had that more then the mother. The mother was just victim blaming and self projecting all her guilt her entire life.
-I get why SW is back in town. She probably missed the workplace,, and its a town where she spent a lot of time…
If she didn't feel sorry for Tae Oh the story wouldn't add up. Relationships with narcissist tend to be very overly close and that's how you they get to you. Most humans with NPD (I feel bad for diagnosing Tae Oh with this but he is textbook NPD) are quite complex.
Firstly, nothing Tae Oh every had was his. I am sure he used the "my father" story and took it to the park to gain sympathy with his victims. SW most definitly gave him a taste of his own medicine and did what we call with NPD a "smear campaign". But she did it in the best interest of others and herself.
What I can't stand (and this is probably from the source material itself as well as Korean cultural elements) is the amount of danger she puts herself in when she is meeting him alone.
Let me get back to what I was saying... I am glad that SW didn't buy him sympathy. Also giving him money to continue to live his life could also be good manipulation on her end because you don't want a vengeful narcissist to develop.
Please excuse me as I identify too much with Sun Woo's character arc and I wanted too take the opportunity to share a bit about the patterns and exchanges of narcissitc abuse.
Whoever edits the music to go with the scenes is amazing omg.
The director is the same as Misty so I am sure they use the same musical director or he directs what music tracks to play when himself. If you like the music directing on this on check out Misty if you haven't seen it yet.
This was some good fluff for these hard times. Have been adding to the depressive mode by watching dramas like…
This drama did not need the whole fated lovers since childhood thing like oh my god how unnecessary. Also I think that story arc made all of the characters relationship after a bit awkward.
As someone who's mom adopted and we found her real mom after 50 years I appreciated finding the real mom. But honestly I would have liked it if they avoided adding the accident in it. I think adding some abuse into the mix and explaining more about some relationship she had with her father might have added into the mix. Like okay you got hit by a car and left your kid on the playground and were unconscious but ain't your family going to put out some type of AMBER alert or something?
In the end it makes sense for everyone to forgive her for her actions no matter what they were (unless it's child neglect). But I would have honestly been happier with her just having to make the decision to put the child up for adoption due to depression from loosing her painting ability, finances, guilt or protecting the child from it's father.
This was some good fluff for these hard times. Have been adding to the depressive mode by watching dramas like Children of Nobody and Battle of Changsha lately. So this was some good old school rom-com. However, why do rom-com dramas need to take site from the books of soap operas. The last two episodes why? It's like they lost the whole character arc and either washed the characters or overplayed their characters for the last 2 episodes. It was weird to watch that. (skipping through helped a little)
