My Father is Strange Episode 21 Reazioni
And with this show bringing up Yoo Joo's concerns about how newly married women are often fired because they're expected to take maternity leave and lose the company money, I've been pretty impressed with how many modern issues they're bringing up so casually. It might be strange that I emphasized "casually," but I guess in my mind, if they make a big deal about it, the issue seems like it's kind of unexpected or something no one ever deals with. By making it something that people talk about like it's a matter of course, they show just how pervasive these prejudices are and how many people have to deal with them regularly.
Wow, Hye Young's reason for not telling Jung Hwan why they broke up 8 years prior was surprisingly noble. I thought it was just a dumb pride thing or like a weird shielding thing lead characters do in all kdramas, but to think that it was because she didn't want Jung Hwan to think poorly of his mother, whom he'd be seeing for the rest of his life, is unexpectedly thoughtful, especially given how hurt she must have been and considering how young she was at the time.
Also, I fundamentally disagree with Jung Hwan. Why does he ask about their future as if dating means no future and marriage means there is a future? Just because you're dating doesn't mean you're not fully devoted to each other, and just because you're married doesn't mean you are. So many kdrama view marriage as the end goal and the definition of a HEA ending, but there's so much terrain to traverse after getting married. Just because you marry doesn't mean it'll be smooth sailing for the rest of your life. Married people get divorced or have miserable marriages too. I mean, look at Jung Hwan's own parents. They're miserable being married and living in the same house as each other. What good role model in his life leads him to think that marriage is such a great idea? (Ironically, Hye Young's parents are a great example of a successful, loving, supportive marriage between equals, so it's funny that she's the one who opposes marriage and Jung Hwan is the one who endorses it...)
Ahhh I called it (I wrote the first paragraph of this in the beginning of the episode before they broke up). I actually also predicted that Jung Hwan's mother would be the one to let slip that she was the cause of their breakup 8 years before, but I didn't write it down, so I have no proof haha. It's so touching the way Mi Young and Joong Hee interact. And I love that it's a two-way street -- it's not like one of them is doing all of the emotional heavylifting -- they're both looking out for and supporting each other. It's especially sweet since they think that they're half siblings and don't have anything romantic going on at all.
