I so dislike in fiction when someone gets pregnant from rape or inconvenience, like coercion or prostitution, and they know they are unfit to raise them up and end up miserable about it but *suddenly* they change into "that baby is my hope!!" "that's not the baby's fault" "it's my only chance of having a family" man I don't get what's with Korean women and pro life shit
I get it's fiction and we know everything is going to turn out fine and the baby will have a roof above it and food in its mouth and a loving family.
but dam the amount of times I've seen these excuses play in real life and just for the baby to end up poor and have hard life like the mother, I'm sorry your instinct to reproduce and your wallowness from lack of family shouldn't be a reason for you to bring someone into your misery too
its the korean men that korean women avoids tbh. ik the author lowkey wants a child but they cant have one.
lemme yap about korean men and why you should avoid them.
notice how in kdramas korean men are literally the greenest, the nicest fucks? yeah its becase *LOCAL*(not all but MAJORITY) korean men are misogynistic and very creepy. even creepier than a japanese man, yes.
i dated a korean man once and never again. they arent as nice as shown on dramas. its all just fantasies for them
men ain't shit everywhere
it's fucked up that they have to give them to adoption, why not leave it with the other parent? or a capable willing family member? or in foster care temporarily till one of the parents finsh jail time?
I think they have to give it up if no one is willing to take the baby. Plus adoption is a business. Before there were these strict laws adoption agencies would do everything in their power to sell babies for adoption. Sometimes stealing babies or tricking mothers into giving up their babies (apparently this was a problem in Korea, I watched a documentary on it). I wouldn’t be surprised if it influenced the author and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a legal loophole where they were allowed to take kids if their parent/S were in prison. Also prison is more serious than jail. Jail is small crimes and a slap on the wrist. Prison is drugs, murder and other serious crimes. That could effect the fate of the child as well
okay author we get you like public fucking and humiliation
I want a list for this anthology please
The ones I know of are:
“Master of the grand prince” https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_master_of_the_grand_prince/
“If you get caught by the dragon’s tail” https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/if_you_get_caught_by_the_dragon_s_tail/
“The dragon’s companion” https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_dragon_s_companion/
“Dawn’s rain” https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hyou_dawn_rain/
And “The crossroads of reincarnation” which I don’t think is on here yet
I want more works with this kind of dumb characters but things don't really go south
the last panel of him turning to a todler and crawling to her
I thought it would be simple puppy love plot but I liked how deeper the characters were.
mijeong dealing with the neglect that comes with a bigger family and becoming a background character in his parents and siblings life, not enjoying anything if he isn't the centre of attention. even building this nasty wary personality because of it.
but then he slowly learns to enjoy sharing stuff with others, sharing memories and experiences, being part of something rather than the centre of it. largely because of hangyul welcoming personality.
hangyul having to let go of his fear of disappointment in order to have a relationship with mijeong.
the first time I saw chorong and naseon I instantly knew they would have something special too. chorong having to keep this mature facade because that's the first thing he knew about himself, and the only thing that was praised for in his childhood. but it all crumbles down when he is with naseon, he only ever cries in front him, and naseon lets it be, doesn't question it.
I did wish that they got more chapters to explore their 15 year long relationship, where both of them become molded to the other.
naseon presence gave chorong emotional stability, enabling him to keep on being shy and reserved.
while naseon learnt to be kind to others by being kind to chorong.
