Painfully real father-daughter relationship

I thought this episode did a really good job showing Sang-Ah‘s life long struggle with her dad.She needed him but he was never there for her, and it was obvious that he wrapped up in his own world, not thinking that Sang Ah needed him.I don’t doubt that he loves her, but I think his emotional unavailability and unfather-like behavior, are unbeknownst to him. He was left with a child, when he himself wasn’t mature enough to be a dad and with the grandpa in the picture, he became more like a brother than a father.The writing of this painful truth was done very real and at first she appeared rude & like a brat but I quickly realized how much more real her character is in comparison to typical kdrama characters. I feel for Sang Ah and her disappointment in her family situation. she said in an earlier episode, that she doesn’t want to be noticed or get attention, I believe that with appearance of Ju Hyeok she will finally try to put trust in another person again. Can’t wait to see more ~
