I still hold to my opinion that the father is poorly written. I like the story but not the way it was executed.…
It's okay, re: "poorly written", I wasn't referring to how it was written. :)
Rather, it was to how the character of the father is being hated, some even claiming that no such person exist in real life, or how unrealistic that character is. Which is actually an insult to the people who lived with such a person.
How it was written, or executed, is not my point/concern in my post. ^_^
See? Don't hate the father. As I've said when the series started, he's stuck in his own world. Either he spiral…
Now, the remaining issue is that "beach".
She too has a story behind her. However, the difference with Yong-Pil's father is that she commited crimes: fraud, theft, libel, slander, defamation.
While we can understand why she is the way she is, crimes have to be paid. Either in prison, or a psych hospital. And so far, there is no doubt sothe "beach" did those things with full control of herself. In other words, she's doing these things willfully and intentionally, without remorse at that.
Sad it may be, but people like that have to be isolated from society.
See? Don't hate the father. As I've said when the series started, he's stuck in his own world. Either he spiral into self-blame if Samdal's mother died, or he'll continue shutting everyone out.
There are people who put up walls around themselves so they won't get hurt than they already are. Deep pain is serious. It pierces into your soul, to the point that you no longer know you're hurting everyone around you as well as yourself.
It's okay if you don't understand. I understood the father because I grew up with a parent who also have a deep pain, a deep resentment, he cannot let go. I've seen with my own eyes what it is like.
I myself hated. I myself got angry. But in the end, what my grandmother said when I was kid, trumped. Why? Because what she told me was right. She had an insight that I never would have, she was after my parent's mother.
It's the same here, with the father, and every single out there with deep pain and deep resentment. Don't hate them. It is hard. It is painful. It makes you angry. But don't hate them.
These people going through this? Deep inside they also hate the fact they're causing pain to others, especially to the people they love. But they can't let go. They are too afraid. They created a world of their own. They are afraid to face their fears and the reality.
If you haven't experienced living with such a person, be very thankful you don't have to go through what I, and many others, have and are going through. It is never easy.
Some will say, "live them alone!" Can you truly do that as a family member? As a human being?
I'm not saying your solution is wrong. No. I 100% agree with you. You have no idea how many times I thought and did exactly that, myself. But I just can't take it to see this parent to be hurting even more.
Mind you. I am autistic. "Experts" say autistics are emotionless, and incapable of empathy and compassion. (Which I disagree.) How more non-autistics? Can you do that? Just leave them despite fully knowing why they are the way they are?
Or, maybe, it is because I am autistic hence I can't do it. Because for us autistics, everything is either hypo or hyper.
It's easy to angry, hate, resent, be it in real life or against a fictional character. But it is never easy to understand, to be patient, to sacrifice, to live, and to love.
My reason is the BGM. It was uplifting. It was "justice". Justice for what what she had to endure from her childhood, husband, and the crimes around her.
The BGM gave me the feeling that all she had to go through, and her strength and belief she won't get Remington's disease, were "finally paid off".
1. Do-Hee will ask for a wish. 2. Devil refuses. 3. Devil eventually grants her wish. 4. 10 years later, Devil found a way to combust. 5. Do-Hee lived since the contract was nulled when Devil sacrificed himself.
1. You know you can't blame the devil, because he's not allowed to kill humans. 2. But the reason her father was driving so fast, was because his 10-yr contract with the devil is about to end. 3. In the end, you want to blame him for that, but at the same time you know you cannot.
In the end, Do-Hee is still a little kid playing house. It took her 14 episodes to wake up from her fantasy.

Gehlee joined the survival talent search show Universe Ticket in 2023. In one of the episodes, the judges noticed her weakness was dancing, and she admitted that she did not receive any dance training. In a short amount of time, she showed great improvements in her dancing which the judges immediately noticed, earning her a Unicorn Ticket which granted her an immediate promotion.
On the 10th of January 2024, Gehlee ranked #2 overall. With only a few votes/score left, she would have had secured her spot that day for the new 8-member girl group under F&F Entertainment. Aside from turning her weakness in dancing into a strength, she also surprised every one of her vastly improved Korean language skills during her promotion speech.

The scenes with the lead during the festival were wasted. The play and the repeat of the play in the car, those were the best. I had to stop myself from crying, perfect BGM too.

And these two web novels were also adapted into webtoons.
And then later adapted into a K-drama.
LOL.
I can't find information, were these two webnovels penned by the same author or something?
1. Do-Hee will ask for a wish.
2. Devil refuses.
3. Devil eventually grants her wish.
4. 10 years later, Devil found a way to combust.
5. Do-Hee lived since the contract was nulled when Devil sacrificed himself.
1. You know you can't blame the devil, because he's not allowed to kill humans.
2. But the reason her father was driving so fast, was because his 10-yr contract with the devil is about to end.
3. In the end, you want to blame him for that, but at the same time you know you cannot.

IK. I'm a Filipino. Hahaha :p
However, for that to be the case, it means her mother is the same generation as me, Gen Xennial; or Gen Y.
Actually, that makes sense considering Aya's age.
Anyway, do you have a link to that TikTok video where her mom clarified her given name?
