Second Shot at Love & it's problems

 


You've got a great cast for this drama. Even a fine supporting cast. However, it does rely on old ways of thinking. Like blaming the whole family on one consequence. Shunning a divorced woman that she can never be enough to marry again (even when none of the bad stuff was her fault). As one co-worker told me whose mom is Korean (She married someone part Korean like herself), reputation is very important. Thus, many things can haunt one living their life in Korea. The past can certainly make life difficult, and you will find that kind of story in this drama. Perhaps this is how it comes to play of social media with this thinking, and it is a very sad thing. I still think it falls back to the days of how they held each other in captivity, and the status of just who you are. Definitely, a sad situation that still continues. Unfortunately. While here in the states, we are thinking, "Can't they just let it be?"

I'm glad the drama is facing the issue of how common alcohol is in the workplace and how they expect you to drink along with the aftermath of such drinking can really harm someone's health. 

Of course, this is a culture thriving on spicy foods and lots of fun with soju. It is hard for the rest of us to understand.
