Watched ep 27 of Gisaeng with subs and I believe I may be taking a break from it for a while - I'll come back when there is another dozen eps to binge on.
Mainly because Saran is bugging the ever-living hell out of me. The only reason she has such a miserable life is because she's enjoying wallowing in being a martyr. There is no reason for her to keep this up at all - she could be out of gisaeng house in about two minutes if she wanted - as Mrs Rich Hottie (who she's in love with, too) or as free young woman getting a career in dance or even sales or something random. But nooooooo - because then how could she indulge in 'woe is me' fun?
I can't feel sorry for her when her situation is 100% self-made and she could fix it with a bat of her eyelashes but she willfully refuses to.
I was sympathetic to adoption trauma and all that but there is a limit and she's been wallowing for months. Is she ever going to stop? She's got a bunch of good things (good sister, good boyfriend, good friends, good health and talents) and she's throwing it all away because self-loathing is her meal du jour.
Honestly, by this point I want to her to just accept the CEO's carte blanche, which will enable her to wallow in style (ugh, CEO is so unpleasant - some idea of 'teasing' he has - she'll enjoy being martyred with him) and for Damo to go away and fall for someone who has at least some shreds of mental health.
I give up.
