Atonement and Nevertheless (18 July 23)

“It wasn’t only wickedness and scheming that made people unhappy, it was confusion and misunderstanding; above all, it was the failure to grasp the simple truth that other people are as real as you.”



“And only in a story could you enter these different minds and show how they had an equal value. That was the only moral a story need have.” -Ian McEwan, Atonement

You see - With her ex was his was his, what was hers was his. She was so afraid to offend, so lacking in agency. Love was a minefield. With JE, what was his could be hers, if she wanted.

It was interesting to watch how characters succumbed to their desires even though they knew it might be wrong. I have read so many negative reviews for this one but I actually don't understand why people find it not interesting. The main leads are beautiful together; their chemistry and the sexual tension throughout keeps you on edge. Even the side characters have a good story. Song Kang as Park Jae Eon played a bad boy which is not so common. We need to understand that not everything is white or black. People exist even in the grey belt. He never once disrespected or harmed Nabi. He never promised any commitment to her. It's all expectations. Maybe if they showed more of his past; we would've understood why he was afraid of commitment. He never received love; his mom left when he was 10. The lack of his past made him seem more toxic. He was wounded and could
