Is it okay, KBS weekend drama that still uses the regress code?
Han Jong-soo (Dong Bang-woo), chairman of the conglomerate who directs and orders the uninhabited people like the king, and his young wife Na Hye-mi (Kang Sung-yeon) and his child Tae-ho (benefitting).,It is strange to see that the age difference between husband, wife and child is too much.,However, the place is where Han Tae-joo (Hong Jong-hyun), the son of Han Jong-soo's ex-wife, and Kang Mi-ri (Kim So-yeon), the bride-to-be, eat together.,In fact, Han Tae-joo is also older than Han Jong-soo's son, but closer to his grandson.
But there is Jeon In-suk (Choi Myung-gil), who raised Han Tae-ju like a son, and the daughter who left Jeon In-suk is Kang Mi-ri, who will become a bride of Han Tae-ju.,Jeon In-suk and Kang Mi-ri already know that they are mother and daughter, but these people do not know that.,Na Hye-mi, a young wife of Han, who doubts the relationship and drives Jeon In-suk, is a bomb that can not know when to find out.,What kind of backlash will the fact that Han Tae-joo, who raised him like a son, and his daughter Kang Mi-ri, married him?
One scene at this dinner, which is shown by the KBS weekend drama "My Prettyest Daughter in the World", which is currently airing, seems to symbolize the retrogressive current state of KBS weekend drama.,There is a landscape of a chaebol that always appears in KBS weekend dramas, and there is a ground goal of 'marriage' that is treated like the beginning and end of all stories.,Above all, 'secret of birth' is the most powerful stimulus and seasoning, so we can guess what story will be developed in the future by looking at this scene.,The marriage that carries the hidden 'secret of birth' will eventually bring the storm as the secret is revealed.
The beginning, of course, seemed to be something else.,Like the title of “My Prettyest Daughter in the World,” the relationship between mother and daughter seemed to be on the front line, and there were some aspects of the small conflicts in the house that were happening with working women and childcare.,Above all, there is a side that makes the woman who shows the capable person of Kang Mi-ri look forward to something.
But that is just the beginning, and as the story progresses, the drama falls into the official weekend drama that has always been repeated.,In the end, the story that I had to do was the conflict situations created through the unruly mother Jeon In-suk who abandoned her daughter.,Park Seon-ja (Kim Hae-sook), the mother who raised her like a real daughter, is becoming mad because of Jeon In-sook, who suddenly appeared, and Kang Mi-ri returns to the typical weekend drama heroine among Han Tae-ju, who became fond of Jeon In-sook.
The parts that can be thought of as 'where is such a ridiculous story' are cleverly crushed into comedy setting, but this weekend drama is preaching to viewers now as if they are natural for anachronistic settings that are not just laughing.,For example, women are conflicting and bumping into things like so much hard childcare and housework, but the men who appear here strangely are only giving advice and adding words, but they do not help them.
This setting is also a reenactment of a typical degenerative relationship.,The problem is always drawn as 'female fewer women', and the problem maker is always a woman. When these problems occur, the person who speaks out the solution as if it is an advisor is a man.,But the man is a person who can only speak, but in fact, he can not even eat a meal with his own hands.,This is a way of telling the distorted gender role distinction as if it were unknowingly natural, and even such a man is natural.
Typically, it is the way this drama deals with the three mothers who appear here.,Park Seon-ja contains such a mother who sacrifices everything as if she were a mother, and she is obsessed with her child. In the opposite way, she portrays her as an extreme evil woman without a mother by framed 'mother who abandoned her child'.,Meanwhile, Hamiok (Park Jung-soo), the mother-in-law of Park's first daughter, Mi-sun (Yoo-sun), is criticized for asking for childcare without helping her child's child-rearing, although she is a mother-in-law who wants to enjoy her life.
Moms are all suffering, criticizing and struggling with each other. So Park Sun-ja and Jeon In-suk are now talking about each other's hair and saying, "You are human.",Jeong Dae-cheol (Ju-hyun), who acts as if he is a good father-in-law as if he is on the side of his daughter-in-law, points out that Hami-ok's actions are wrong.,In the end, mothers fight and conflict in all these situations. The world of patriarchal men who created this problem is backed away from the back.,The drama conceals that the essence of this problem is in the patriarchal world. Instead, the bad mother is cursed and condemned as a villain without blood or tears.
KBS weekend dramas are actually the last bastion of our family dramas, because in fact, the familism system is collapsing due to the surge of one-person households.,It is true that the KBS weekend drama is the last bastion of our family dramas.,However, it is too easy to think about the symbolism of this KBS weekend drama to ignore the wrong family systems and the current reality and bring the past formulas and add the stimulus in the same way.
It is not only the problem of this drama. It was the secret of birth that did not fall out of the previous work "One Only My Side" and it was the Cinderella setting.,Moreover, the setting was a rationalization of a degenerative female figure close to the modern Shimchung.,The story of a daughter who sacrifices everything for her father may be a fantasy of old fathers, but it is not a fantasy of fathers these days.,Who would want a daughter who sacrificed for herself?
KBS weekend drama can be seen as the only family drama remaining in the era of the family that is dismantling.,However, the repetition of this regress can be a harmful situation in the existence of KBS weekend drama itself.,At least, it should show the effort to capture the story of a new family that can arise in the changed family system. Is that what KBS should do as a public broadcasting?
