When given to live for 49 Days
It’s been 10 years since I wrote an essay about the “Other Girl” in movies. How come they always have to give up on guys they liked first? Anyway, they are movies.
Now the time has come for me to write about my thoughts on this Korean drama, where a dead Mom comes to life and is given 49 days to be with her friends and family. Hi Bye Mama!
I already have theory in mind on how this show will end. Of course, expect that she will cross the other side because if she didn’t, It’ll ruin the idea of death.
But what if it happened to me? I’ve been dead and wandering the earth for 5 years and have seen my family moved on and my husband getting married again. My daughter never got to know that I am her real Mom.
Now, I’ve angered the deities and punished me by being alive again for 49 days. The medium mentioned that she has to take the place again to live again (I am 90% that this is a metaphor) If I was in her place, I would do exactly what she is doing. First, I’ll be happy I get to be with my family again (no doubt)
No matter how it hurts, I’ll accept the fact that my daughter will know of me when she’s old enough to understand. I can’t ruin a relationship that has already existed after my death. I can’t take my husband just like that but would love to hear him say he loves me for the very last time (dramatic yeaa) As long as the wife takes good care of my husband and daughter and I am good to go. Even I have the opportunity to take it back, I know for sure that he doesn’t have the same love he has for me before. I was already dead and that’s it. He deserves to be happy with my daughter and his new wife.
In the given 49 days, I’ll make the most of it. Make the people understand that they deserve to be happy with or without me. Do the things I wished I have done before my death.
I’m already gone, and nothings gonna change that anymore.
I shouldn’t be back alive in the first place.
