Episode 12 Enraged Me

Don't get me wrong, the episode still has light hearted moments that kept me in a melted puddle of goo, but I'm starting to be very bothered by parts of it. Predominantly because I relate to them on a very personal level.

This is your fair warning if you opt to read this review - I am 100% biased regarding the first point that angered me.

I waited 12 episodes for adoption to be brought up, only to hear Ha Ri say "A child should be a gift, not an alternative". What the hell does that even mean? I'm not adopted, nor are any of my friends (to my knowledge). I have been told that medically I should never have biological kids, so adoption has always been my one and only choice. There are so many children who need parents to love them, and Ha Ri dismisses it, just like that? And you can't give me the excuse that you can't choose to love them. We choose to love our partners, our friends - all people who are not blood related to us. And yet, she wouldn't be able to choose to love a child that isn't hers biologically? And I stress 'biologically' here, because the way I see it, biology, when it comes to who you love, has literally no meaning. Just because I'm related to someone by blood, does not mean I have any kind feelings towards them.

I don't know. Her outlook really angers me. "A child should be a gift" - a child IS a gift, regardless of whether it came out of my hooha or not. Countless people want to adopt, but can't. She just made it sound like adopting was a simple as checking off items on a checklist.

Apart from that, Jae Young has been steadily getting on my nerves, to the point where I don't want to look at his face anymore. I understood why he was hesitant to trying being with Ha Ri, and I understand his regrets and that he has loved her all these years, but so what? Why should his happiness be worth any more than hers? Why should his wants and needs be put above hers? At this point, he's ripped a page directly out of 'A Stalker's Guide to Love'. I hate it, and he needs to get a clue.

I have no sympathy for him. Actually, I never had sympathy for him. My best friend is a guy, and if he ever pulled that crap with me (never seeing me again because of his significant other), then you can bet that there will be no forgiveness from me. What Jae Young did is incredibly hurtful. I'm a sucker for babies too, but hell is I'm going to let myself be manipulated by one. He's a doctor. He's more than capable of taking care of his own. He would have been out on the street before episode one was over.

I apologize for the rant.

That said, Yi Sang was amazing during the aerobatics (?) scene.
