How do you value your life?
I finally finished this drama after so many tries.
We all know that drinking is an acceptable tradition in Korea. Many dramas have placed drinking as a norm in families, in workplaces and perhaps everywhere. This story takes us to the extreme - how heavy frequent drinking became a lifestyle that can ruin one's body, friendship, family and life.
I watched this because of Gong Myung - his gentle face is fitting for a doctor who is well-liked in Bocheon. As for Choi Soo Young, her character shows a woman who tried to be strong on her own, though had gone through heartbreaks and drown it only by alcohol.
The townspeople, just like any other drama, are a bunch of gossips, though we know deep in their hearts, they care for one another. They do have issues, yet they learned to swallow their pride and forgive and be forgiven.
The drama brings lots of life lessons:
1. Problems do not go away by drinking alcohol. it can even ruin your thinking and eventually may cause death
2. Families are important. We should learn to value our family and see how alcohol can destroy relationships.
3. Strong support to help an alcoholic is needed. Alcoholics may not want to stop, may not want anyone to meddle with them, but true friends will go the extra mile no matter what.
4. Determination, self-control, patience and much love help each other solve problems, overcome hardships and realize happiness.
The latter part of the drama became more serious. Though there were deaths in the drama, am glad it still ends in a happy note.
