RAAAAAAAGE! SCREAMING RAAAAAAGE

So, did anyone watch the preview for episode 18 of Pick the Stars?

A lot of juicy things going on such as dreaded gangster-selling. I have seen enough kdramas to recognize what a heroine being in the den of mobster loan-sharks looks like. What I want to (worriedly) know is what she used as a collateral - I still remember Slingshot, thanks!

I bet it's money for Nami's operation, too. And this leads me to the other thing that made my eyes pop - THE SLAP. Kang Ha, honey, we were doing so well! I've been loving you for over 10 eps. And then you go and ---

SERIOUSLY. I understand I am completely intrepreting a 10-second preview, utterly out of context and with no knowledge of Korean whatsoever. And I know dramas are slap-happy. Whatever.

(warning, about to enter capslock zone. If sensitive, exit now)

How dare Kang Ha slap Pal Kang? HOW DARE HE? I don't know whether he is slapping her because she is planning to leave Nami in the orphanage, because she sold herself to loansharks, because she didn't even ask him for money before picking these drastic courses of action, or some combo thereof. Fine, whatever, these are all horrific/stupid actions (especially as he may not know she is leaving Nami out of necessity, so Nami gets treatment). And I get that he has issues about families abandoning children due to his own frelled-up background. TOUGH LUCK, SON OF A BITCH.

Who is he to her? Her lover? Her spouse? Her family member? Is Nami his child? His sibling? Nope nope nope. Even if he was related, he still has no right to raise his hand to a woman but when that fact is coupled with the fact that he has no relation to her? THE HELL.

He isn't smacking his evil crazy fiancee who is blackmailing him into marriage - no, he's smacking a woman who never did him any wrong and is at the end of her rope. Pal Kang was so so very wrong to do this (but I have sympathy for her - she is so stuck into a corner and messed up by now, thanks to, in part, Kang Ha) but ooooooh, the rage, IT BURNS BURNS BURNS. I hope she never takes you once you confess or whatever. I hope she stabs you in the eye.

I reserve the right to change my mind once the ep airs :P

pick the stars, doramas2
