This manhwa is such a high quality, life changing one which totally aligns with the morality dilemma I am facing day to day. The one who’s born with connections, privileges, the opportunity, carefully crafted environment from the start, made-up skills, but doesn’t mean she didn’t practice it enough. She played all the right tunes, not because she has connections, just because she is extremely into music, embracing it and practicing it. But let’s say, if those favorable predispositions were removed, will she be in the same place she’s right now? All the practices and lessons she’s given since a kid, the little adjustments she has acquired to optimize her potential, came from is a modifiable factor. If these shift, pretty much, the direction of her love for music could possibly change. She’s hyper-aware of that. In her case, being aware doesn’t bring you a peace of heart. I, myself also struggle with how the pre-installed advantages has shaped the perception of who I am to this day. Removing those advantages equally removes the portions of myself. These were integrated into my identity. It’s really beautifully portrayed in this manhwa that how she gets so uncomfortable being in a spotlight of ‘having a connection’ but under the surface, it doesn’t change the fact that she, herself also benefiting from it.
On the other hand, the ‘prodigy’, has a DNA advantage rather than the environmental ones. DNA advantage means his identity has already written for him, so now he must have to revolve his life around that DNA. The professor said he possessed a ‘Legato; to play smoothly without breaking the connection between the notes’ he’s BORN with this technique integrated in his body. He has no other choice. It’s a body demand to play the music, to like playing piano. It’s a non-modifiable factor.
In the end, it may seem like ‘hardwork vs talent’ vibe but what’s masked underneath is ‘how to keep burning the fuel without the upbringing advantages VS how to maintain the fuel without being burn-out from the expectations of his inborn trait.
Day to day, we encounter various individuals with variable degrees of upbringings and inborn traits, but what defines who’s winning or who’s losing. Is your end goal in life is acceptance from other people or acceptance of yourself? That will answer the question of the winner or the loser.
