The first single from The Tortured Poets Department is…………. Fortnight featuring @postmalone 🤍 I’ve been such a huge fan of Post because of the writer he is, his musical experimentation and those melodies he creates that just stick in your head forever. I got to witness that magic come to life firsthand when we worked together on Fortnight. Honestly can’t wait for you guys to hear this song at Midnight TONIGHT and see the video at 8pm ET TOMORROW.

On my alchemy of souls rematch mode
at a wedding and the bride is late and i can't stop hoping she ran away
she has arrived :/
Shit could still go down
Am I the only one not feeling bad about the grandfather dying? Like I feel bad for the family and the fact that they have to go through this while haein is sick, they are ousted from their home(because he wouldn't let them live outside and have thier own properties btw) and then he while feeling better and gaining more strength just decides to die. And I understand that he was trying to help his family and what not but all of this is his making. And he has a house full of staff that are literally dedicated to the family and he didn't even try to contact anyone before making this decision? I don't know he was very useless as the head of the household and the family he created. He made them reliant on him and couldn't even take responsibility when shit went down
Okay I have a slightly different take on this but very much the same feels.
So I am not sad grandpa died but I am sad that the family had to face that loss. And not just because Haein is sick during this period.
I do agree that he was a shitty father. He's literally the reason his family is broken.
His eldest son was kicked out because he would rather believe his mistress than his son.
Him and Beomja are constantly fighting and while she doesn't have tact and let's be honest not the most believable personality when it comes to this topic he still has too much trust in his girlfriend who he definitely had before his wife died. (So cheating bastard) his relationship with her is ruined because of his own actions. Despite how much she loves him but still feels betrayed and hurt he would cho6se to keep that woman.
His middle son is absolutely useless and he knows it too. Now he's not dumb dumb, cause when you take the remaining family he's the smartest or at least the calmest after Hae-in, if not smart in his own decisions he is at least willing to listen and think things over. But it doesn't matter because his voice holds no power and so he has no confidence to try to bring any power to himself anyway, he is satisfied with the way life is and maybe even prefers to take a backseat because his family is that turbulent. He has more of a Survivor mentality i would say.
I forgot the himbo's name but Hae-in's brother. He's a total idiot but it's not like his grandfather does anything to change that other than scream at him. There were no pointers shared, no mentoring provided. If you don't explain the basics to someone you can't just expect them to ride into proper skills. (His mother also plays a part in overprotecting him because we have seen how he is actually willing to learn if provided motivation.)
They all depend on him cause he never gave them the opportunity to grow and not just that. He squashed any confidence the remaining family had. Choosing to play house with gf instead and further pushing down his own family in turn on importance especially when he signed the guardianship.
The only reason Hong Hae-in turned out okay was because from the start she had no one to lean on. Or well she had someone and then she was stripped of it because of an accident.
She was in cold waters and while physically saved, she had to mentally guard herself hard to make it to the top.
And the grandfather did show appreciation to that but again that was all her proving herself worth the affection she received at all points.
Now comes the death part. The reason it is sad is because he didn't kill himself as an easy way out. He had to kill himself because this was the only way out.
He wasn't going to get better, he was caught while hiding the pills, he was not conscious for long enough to get any actual help. Eunsong sucks but his mother is smart, she terrifies him now that he sees the real her because she did play a long con.
20 years, she played the helpless victim for 20 years to perfection. Never overpaying into dramatics of I am too pathetic but keeping a nice balance we saw at the start. She was steady and that's some respectable shit.
But also I don't agree with the he was completely useless as the head of the family. He raised them pretty shitty but he provided the rest.
He was their support pillar. He did build shit from scratch and made it high enough for them to be comfortable. He couldn't be a good father but he kept the company up until he was old and reliant on others enough that he could be easily blindsided. Cause again at this point the man is sick, on most days he can't even join the family for dinner, his health only deteriorates. Probably cause of ms.gf. so I do think that this shit wouldn't have happened if well for one his family relationships where's this broken (courtesy of himself).
And in the moment he died, it was the only thing he could do. Because he was not in his right might for long enough to take any action and even if tried to take any action in the period he did have his right mind, she would simply ruin it back when he was lost again.
And the only thing that would have helped his family would have been if she couldn't control things via him. So he killed himself. Which sounds very sad when you compare it to the way he is talked about. I know we don't get to see a lot of that support pillar in the show because the show starts when he's already a jaded man with little life.
But again, his death isn't what makes me sad
My heart just hurts for Beomja and her unresolved conversation. Like yes the whole family is upset but I feel sad just for her. Throughout it all she tried her best, she took all that came her way to make him see shit. Even though it didn't work and the worst thing was that she didn't even get to reconcile with her father.
Yeah, you do make a good point about him, and again, I am not trying to take away from the sadness of his death for the family. It is just that he could have still made better decisions with all those people ( who work for him, btw) in the house. His death was useful for them, but it wasn’t the only option. It only hurt his family in the worst way possible
