When Life Gives You Tangerines EP 15

Comments

Its quite interesting for me because I'm the youngest in my family with a gap of almost 12 years to my older siblings. So the relationship i have with my mum is vastly different to the relationship my siblings have with her. Manly because when my "last" sibling moved out and had a child and everything I was 13 years old and my mum straight up told me she is done with parenting and wants to start living her own life again. My siblings have a great relationship with her because she was "parenting" them up until they turned 25 and for me it ended when I was 13. On the other hand she puts a lot of responsibility on me because I was an "easygoing" child and never caused any trouble. So she is convinced i can handle all her problems as well. So it is a very weird dynamic with my siblings being way older than me and them having their own families while I decided to never have kids which my mum saw as in invention for her becoming my responsibility πŸ™ƒ

for me it's kind of the opposite of what you described, I'm 10 years younger than my brother and within my family I basically never got any sense of responsibility for different reasons. for once it felt like my parents never really trusted me with anything even to this day, when I ask them if i could help them with anything. then also in German culture, you just dont really communicate or talk about these things, it's more like an unspoken silence that's never adressed unless shit is going down, then these things are brought up as blame. so for me, i struggled more with the lack of any responsibility that I would've needed in some ways growing up so I'm very slowly adjusting to that in adulthood.

And of course the inclusion of 10 Minutes - a little shout out to Lee Hyo-ri!

Love the scene of Geum-myeong watching g.o.d on the TV since IU is a huge fan of them.

im brazilian and i think latin culture is very similar with asian culture in that family sense, like i can totally relate as well with the pressure of being the one to support your family, im not the oldest but im a only child which i think sometimes its worst lol because when you have siblings at least sometimes you can count on them as well for support but when its only you literally everything is on you, it feels like theres no relieve moments like when Eun Myeong would sometimes want to step up to take care of the family when Geum Myeong couldnt, and like my mom is not even that harsh and rarely would brought up things she sacrificed for me but even so I KNOW and i know how hard she works and i know how some months we can barely pay our credit cards and house bills so i cant help to also feel that need to provide/help and get back to her or id feel guilty too
