i’m on ep 11 and don’t know if i can continue…the poet with the cancer was saying he forced his wife to undergo treatment and then Dr. Kwak says “well you were her guardian so…” and I’m all like what the actual heck? so married women in Korea don’t get to decide their health care for themselves but are under the guardianship of their husbands? /irritated
Oh, I took it as something like the poet, being the husband/guardian, didn’t want his wife to pass away due to cancer.
Sometimes an illness takes a harder toll on the family than the sick person; they’re the ones who have to watch their loved ones deteriotate and they’re also the ones who, in the worst case scenario, get left behind. I think that was something that Dr Kwak was also trying to process and accept at that point, since the poet teacher didn’t want to get treatment for his cancer.
