I know everyone is pissed with the SML and I actually agree he's annoying and they give him too much screen time...but I'm so tired of all the hate my girl Hyun-Jin is getting like...this is one of the few times a kdrama (or a show in general) is not painting the woman to suddenly be so ready and so perfect to be a mother, like this is a girl in her mid 20s with dreams that were NOT to be a mother, like at all. Not only she just lost her sister, not only she's clearly STILL grieving a lot, like we saw last episode, but on top of that she has to come to terms with the fact she has TO RAISE this baby. And yeah maybe Tae-Hyung is going to help her now but she's not even fully sure of that, she doesn't know if he's suddenly gonna take off one day and be like I told you I don't wanna raise him (he won't, i know) but like that's the initial deal and of course things changed but...still. Like Imagine your whole life turning upsde down, you lose your sister, you also have to work hard both because you had a dream and you wanna achieve it and because YOU NEED to care for a toddler. You need to raise him, feed him, give him everything, even more because he lost both his parents, it's crazy man I cannot imagine how she feels, I cannot imagine how stressful this situation is for her, and I know she's not doing a good job, but maybe that's the point??? Who would in her place? Why does the woman has to be so good at everything and immediately, otherwise she is hated by everyone. Like, we always say it and everyone keeps proving it, if she was a guy, she wouldn't get even half the hate bffr.
Like, god forbid, she's trying to get away from all the terrible things, maybe she even likes to pretend things are normal, that she's just working a normal job and crushing on her first love.
I'm not saying this is fair to Tae-Hyung cause it is not. I'm not saying the whole SML storyline is interesting cause it's too much and he's also just not a good character and annoys the hell out of me. But give my girl some break, it's not easy on her.
You can dislike the writing, I understand that, but as a character no she doesn't deserve so much hate. Idk maybe for once we don't hate the female character and we try to at least understand her??
Because even if the writing isn't the best, her character still makes sense to me and is still very cool to have such a female character that isn't the perfect aunt with mother-filter from the first day she has to take care of this baby while ALSO having a man be an amazing parent who's mostly a stay-at-home dad and constantly tries to support her and help her.
I believe and I hope the point of the show is that eventually they'll find the way for this to be fair for both of them, so just wait, maybe you wanted a drama where they'd just be making out and raising a baby and being cute but this would not be realistic and imo it would also be boring so...yeah.
