Rambling about dramas
It's been a while...I have a different account now, which I mostly use for ficcing haha. This is more my personal account, I guess?
I just want to ramble about shows I'm watching.
I have to admit, I wasn't feeling adult!Yi Soo for a while and I'm still really not. We just haven't been given enough to see how he became so cold and cruel, and I find it hard to care about his revenge when the ones who will truly be hurt are the people who loved him most. His actions aren't hurting the corrupt, even if it angers them - no, his actions are destroying his beloved high school friends. And he knows it. He's actively hurting Hae Woo, who realigned her entire life because of the injustice in his own, Joon Young, who matured into a wonderfully thoughtful man, and Dong Soo, who still holds onto to Yi Soo's memory and shares it like a precious gift.
I nearly screamed when Hae Woo confronted Yi Soo at the end of episode 11, and he couldn't even deny what a hypocrite he'd become. I don't hate him for it, but I certainly pity him. He's become exactly the person he despised the most, a man who uses money to destroy people for his own interests. I'm glad that while the drama focuses on his and Hae Woo's affections, it doesn't paint them as soulmates. There's a wistfulness and tragedy between them, but Hae Woo knows she has to stop him. I think he might be looking forward to it.
But I worry most for Joon Young. Joon Young, loving husband and son who just found out his father is corrupt and his wife hid it to protect him. I'm so scared that anger and hate is going to change him the way it changed Yi Soo; I don't think I could bear that. I hope Hae Woo realizes what he's feeling and is able to comfort him as he struggles with losing his faith in the people he's loved and trusted the most.
At least there's Dong Soo. :(
