2022-10-03 23:58:13 +0000 UTCWhoah do I have a lot of thoughts as well. However, I think it’ll be different from everyone else opinion, which is fine. I went into this series thinking I was going to love it, and for the first half I did! The dynamics between these three characters were so interesting, and I was excited for what was going to play out. Now that I’ve seen it, I’m beyond frustrated. I felt like what the mom and Wang did to IN was so angering to me. He was literally living his life away from everyone, and now they both came in and just ruined his life in a way. The mom blamed him for everything and even had the audacity to say “you disgust me”. While, on the other hand Wang I felt loved In, but did it a way that felt like he was just pushing IN, and we don’t even know if IN feels the same. Mind you there doing this where IN lives, and he humbly invited them and stayed in his house! The mom literally drove me up a wall in this series. The first half the show I could see where she was coming from, because I’ve seen traits in my own mom. However, the latter half was where she took it too far, her actions were disgusting! Honestly, when it came to Wang I do feel for him, that the adults around him failed him in a way, and that led to him building this idea in his head around his dad and made everything is this show about his dad. And even worse IN feels like he owes Mol, and Wang which I don’t think he does. At the end of the day, I knew Wang and In together wasn’t going to happen, and it was going to be a sad ending of sorts. But the ending was literally the Mom and Wang giving IN such a hard time and then they left. They bought so much pressure and stress, and guilt to IN for unjustifiable reasons! Honestly, leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. I think at the end of the day the actors did great, the show itself was beautifully shot, but wow the story just didnt resonate with me. I’m in the unpopular opinion of course, but hopefully we can agree to disagree ❤️

2022-10-03 16:44:52 +0000 UTCOh lord don't get me started on the mum😪😪😪 I was just listening on the part where you described some of her behaviors and I must say that you are very Insightful. What you described is what we call "splitting" in psychology you can look it upin your spare time if you wish. it is a defense mechanism and It is typically seen in people with borderline personality disorder which is under of an umbrella of what we call the "Cluster B Personality disorders" but from the little I have seen of her She does not fit the criteria for borderline according to the DSM 5. She more likely seems like a Historionic personality disorder. Although she does seem to have that splitting defense mechanism. But apart from all that, she is just selfish and insecure and needs help too!! I swear I can't stand her🤣🤣

2022-10-03 16:31:28 +0000 UTCI am a mother to two grown sons and as I can understand wanting the best for our sons we can't push them in the direction they don't want to go. Mol blamed In for her husband feelings and wants to keep Wang for her herself. That is manipulation!! This series was heartbreaking and beautiful, the acting was truly amazing. Wang will be okay in life but In is stuck and unless he gets help will always be alone racked with guilt. The screenwriters should get an award for a beautiful story.

2022-10-03 16:25:56 +0000 UTCYou know apart from the part where Wang blamed In for everything pretty much, In needed that push and he still needs that push. I am a doctor; Although I am not inclined to psychiatry or psychology. From the experience I gained while in my psychiatry clerkship, I have seen people like In. People like In will never be ready to face their past unless they are pushed ( There is never a right time) Like you said, he is stuck and he needs someone like Wang to push him to face his fears. The only issue I have with Wang is that he is so young and inexperienced so he is not going about it the right way. Yes In very much needed the push but Wang was aggressive with it because he was frustrated but every word he said to In asides the blame was Very true. In pretty much had feelings for him too but what I can't say for a fact is if his feelings for Siam is what is driving his Feelings for Wang because they look alike and act the same so some psuedo feelings basically. In need therapy. He needs to see a psychiatrist! I am just happy Wang let it go because honestly that was the best choice for him. I knew it would never work because In is just not in the right state of mind at all. Like I said last week the only way I see it working is when In heals and is ready to live life again. Such a good show I must say, So thought provoking!!!

2022-10-03 16:04:03 +0000 UTCI couldn't watch the whole episode again while it was still so fresh, so I mainly skipped ahead to your thoughts at the end. I agree with pretty much everything you said. It did also hit me in the moment when Wang confronted In that he was using the same kind of manipulative tactics that Mol uses to try to force the result he wanted. I think it's actually good that he lost this one, because otherwise he might have forced his way into a relationship that actually wasn't meant to be, like his mother. I just feel so heartbroken for In, and whilst I'd like to think that this would be the catalyst to help him move on, I doubt it. The way he stood at the side of the bridge, looking but not moving, it actually doesn't seem like much has changed at all. In spent his life trying to do the 'right' thing and not taking any risks, and now he has nothing. This episode broke me. Once Again had better have a happy ending this week, or I'm gonna be a mess! 😂

2022-10-03 12:17:20 +0000 UTCAmong everyone I feel bad for Wang to be stuck between selfish adults, from one side his mother being spoiled caging him next to her just because she couldn't do that with his father and at some point lost him for another man and In for not encouraging him to do what he dreams of, to be honest and tell him no I dont love you that way but there are other types of love instead of being a crybaby over something happened a long time ago, have a conversation with Wang and not blindly do as told. Adults and especially moms making their kids feel guilty for dreaming and wanting to live differently is the worst (speaking from experience) I see part of Wang in me and it breaks my heart Thank you for reacting to this series it's beautiful ❤️
