If they didn’t believe in this reincarnation nonsense/destiny they’d stay together regardless of his sickness, right? I know Buddhism is a SK belief, but in practical terms? Do people really buy it?
That certainly wasn’t my intent. Since the story is set is SK, I was stating the obvious & asking if people truly believe in reincarnation. It’s an innocent question w/ zero intent to offend.
So, there is a magic word around the script writing crowds and this will completely answer all your questions. PLOT.
Why do people buy it? do they even buy it in real life? No, but plot. When it doesn’t make sense, it’s also a case of “they have to because plot”.
But apart from this, I do agree with you that once you take the reincarnation storyline away, the plot does the exact opposite of thickening. It becomes translucent.

what kind of a statement is that “Buddhism is a SK belief”
You are being rude and insensitive…
