When The Camellia Blooms Eps 21-24:-

I have been more than understanding of Dong-baek’s passive nature so far, but these eps crossed the limits. NO mother would let their 7 year old child get unfairly demeaned and worse, get hit, by a grown ass adult, and behave the way she did. That scene infuriated me. Pil-gu even CRIED, something he rarely ever does, and she was just- argh. Heck, even the one doing all that demeaning and hitting did it to defend his son. And all this after Pil-gu specifically told her, in tears, that he wants her to protect him. You are telling me she stays quiet there, but then gets angry for Hyang-mi? ROFL no.

In Ep 12 as well, I was completely on Yong-shik’s mother’s side when she lectured Dong-baek. WTH does Dong-baek think she is doing? She has never even TRIED to firmly tell Jong-ryeol to stay away from her and Pil-gu. It is her fault that Pil-gu had to shoulder the knowledge of knowing who his biological father is, at an age when he shouldn’t have to. And then Jong-ryeol talks about taking her kid away from her and….THAT is her reaction. No, NON-reaction. My god. All she knows to do is pity herself, cry, and say sorry. Yong-shik’s mother was completely in the right, and yes, it IS unfair to Yong-shik because she is just not firmly drawing the line between her and Jong-ryeol. It’s no wonder that Jong-ryeol still has the gall to come around then, hoping for more. The worst thing is that the show isn’t even trying to show her behavior as wrong, just misunderstood @#$%^&*
