i wonder if the reason her mother is the way she is is a mix of generation trauma and misogyny being learned from one generation to another. we’ve met the grandmother in passing who seems to hate everything the mother does, we haven’t learned if this grandmother was also an in law at some point or if that doesn’t matter at all. there’s a possible reason the mother is so willing to ignore our girl is because of her own failings. she gave her husbands family a son, yet it seems he has no accomplishments nor is he clever as his sister. which goes against societal norms by two of the previous gen’s (the grandmother and the mothers), note even the grandmother despite us (the audience) knowing our FML is very busy and is working hard the grandmother seemed to be critical of her. interesting no? especially for a supposed academic family, when the grandson is lazy. this shows is probably self hatred at a woman who’s accomplished that’s why despite her son doing nothing to earn that apartment or even be doing anything to live there the mother immediately moves him in. or prehaps jealous might be even more suitable word, our FML is doing what her mother can’t and this she resents her for it. she’s the oldest daughter she maybe even resents her birth because maybe if she hadn’t had her she wouldn’t be in this position treated poorly. if only her mother knew of everyone in that house her daughter sees the trauma being done and wants to help her mother. and not realizing her mother has decided to continue the cycle with her only with her brother instead of a husband who she must take care of.
i’ve never liked white haired girl and i’m feeling incredibly validated in not liking her.
cause what the actual fuck is this.
No, because you’re so right about that. I never liked her from the beginning and that fuckass one-sided beef she had with lan is crazy. Because lan never tried to take anything from her, it was that white haired bitch’s DELULU thinking and her stupid dead husband wanted Lan while she always tried to reject him, but what can one doe against the crown prince’s order, right? And now she’s going so far for literally what??? Genuinely one-sided beef. No one understands why, like get your bag as the empress and leave Lan alone????
oh are we about to a shady reporter arc???? cause my god is that a problem for korean celebrities
i hate it cause this is reality for so many people. the knowing this man won’t stop and the fear he’s still out there. and the worst part is how it clear passed on trauma to others, her children potential (i say potential only cause we don’t know her brothers relationship to their mother) misunderstanding her intentions and fear. her mother despite everything did the best she could, and honestly that’s probably the most heartbreaking part.
i don’t dislike the ml for what he said to the dad because tbh it’s coming from a place of not truly understanding the WHOLE picture. however he’s completely correct about the father and that’s why i dont mind him being harsh even tho little bro heard that and hes completely innocent. his dad is irresponsible and he needed that harsh talking to, to realize the reason they have to leave is their own fault.
