Maybe I'm being too harsh on a teenager but "thinking about abandoning" because Hyesung was literally a kid himself when he got an unwanted pregnancy from an non-consented one night stand and with a lot of childhood trauma vs. "actually abandoning your child with a toxic man" which hyesung's mom did makes a huge difference. Byul is loved very much and is living a comfortable life. I can understand if he is angry at being confronted, he sees his grandma in a different light, he is just a teen with his emotions flying everywhere but I hoped that if the author decided to show such complex emotions here, they would also show much more complex confrontation with byul afterwords but they just brushed it off like that? Not to mention his own husband being aware of all of this. Hyesung is not at all like his mom, came back to dojin and his baby as soon as he realized what he had done and improved himself. I’m all about forgiveness and peace and all that positive communication stuff but,
Sometimes its ok not forgive someone, but simply forget them and move on. Only the person in pain knows their pain and only their choice matters when it comes to bonding again with someone who they have bad past with. I don’t care what dojin or byul think anymore, but for them to hope that hyesung is able to forgive his mom? I don’t think she deserves it, hyesung has every right to never forgive or meet his mother, he has moved on from his trauma and is being a great husband and mother right now there is no need to add more angst to this. I’m convinced that the author either hates hyesung or is dense. How can you show complexity in broken parts? It just looks like they want to create traumas but not care about the aftermath.
