THEY. ARE. NOT. F*CKING. THE. SAME!!!
Red Flag 1. That woman that birthed Hyesung abandoned him. Knowingly left him to an abusive monster who made Hyesung's life a living hell. She never looked back even once.
Red Flag 2. She went on to build a new family. And kept her past a secret. All the while never once thought of looking for Hyesung to even know how he was
Red Flag 3. She only chose to show herself to Hyesung when she saw him on tv as she learned Hyesung was marrying a rich alpha (F u Dojin! This all happened because of you!)
Red Flag 4. Instead of apologizing and accepting the fact that Hyesung is not yet ready to forgive, she instead gaslighted Hyesung by saying he could have tried looking/searching for her (like old hag, YOU chose to abandon the child to an abusive father that made his life miserable and you expect him to come looking for you?! For what?)
Red Flag 5. Shamelessly accepted money and house from the husband of the son she abandoned despite knowing she had no right to. The audacity!!!
Red Flag 6. Forced her way into Byul's life, and in effect, forced her way into Hyesung's life fully knowing Hyesung does not want anything to do with her.
Byul, saying your grandmother and mother are the same is absolutely f*cking foul!
And I hate it because I can feel it in my bones where the story is going. Hyesung being "forced" to forgive the very person who made his life miserable causing all those trauma just for the plot of Byul's story. Gods, what a shit-show.
