Guys I know that he’s taller, buffer, and generally stronger than his father, but you probably don’t know what it’s like to stand up to your abuser because it’s actually super hard. It’s easy to tell others to break up with their partners in those stories, it’s easy to tell Woo Won to just report his dad, but it’s actually so much harder to do that. Woo Won was raised by being abused by his father, so he’s still in that mindset right now, even as an adult. It’s called trauma for a reason. It sticks with you even when you forget about it or think you’ve “outgrown” it. And now, his “father” is even using his mother as blackmail. The thing is, even if he were to report his father for domestic abuse, it would likely be taken as a grain of salt by the police since Woo Won doesn’t have a lot of evidence right now. No voice recordings, no terrible bruises, no anything. It’s just going to be his word against his father. The sad thing is that there are many cases just like his in real life, yet you can’t just tell those people to report the issue since it’s almost always overlooked. My point is, Woo Won just can’t report his father and everything will be okay. The world doesn’t play out like that. Just try to understand and empathize with Woo Won and what he’s going through instead of calling him stupid or crazy for not beating up his dad. Not to mention if he beats his dad up, his dad can report him for assault since he’s going to have actual evidence on his body.
