Parenting is not what Dramas do the best, we are always shown terrible parents who think their children are just a way for them to shine rather than their own individual persons. From all the mums in Crash Course on Romance that fight each other to make their kids number one, to all the woman who think that just because they have given birth a child they owe them the world (Call it love, Doona!), to the mother that won’t allow a son to be the donor for his wife because his body will be hurt and that can’t be pretending to have the most strict Confucian values (Doctor Cha) to the awful parents in Perfect Marriage Revenge, and I’m not talking only about the obvious and terrible step mum, but those two fathers who created monsters and didn’t get any punishment for that.
But even with all these examples, to me the worst parent was Choi RoHee’s dad in The kidnapping day, who was the monster who killed his wife and experimented on her daughter and treated her just like a guinea pig. It was heartbreaking and a horrible metaphor about how many kids get this treatment from their parents.
The Kidnapping Day felt like a giant “what not to do” guide to future parents (Don’t inject viruses into your kid’s brain, don’t send your HIV-positive adopted daughter back to the orphanage, don’t leave your daughter with cancer alone in the hospital for weeks, don’t murder or attempt to murder your kid’s other family members . . . the list could go on).

RoHee’s dad takes the cake (one filled with needles) for worst father of the year 😑
