Coupled with the idea of seizing the moment is that of the very strong human impulse to live… to survive which plays out positively in Hospital Playlist but not so much in an apocalyptic-disaster story like Sweet Home. I don’t mean to start a controversy on my own blog but a retired midwife friend was saying last Sunday that premature babies in general are highly resilient and have an incredible will to live. The conclusion I come to even from my own experience seems to be that the desire to live starts very early probably even before birth.
Thank you for doing a part (2)!! Don't be sorry at all because I believe we are all just appreciative that you have this platform to share your thoughts with us and also for us to share ours (or spam lol). It really has been a never-ending game of lockdowns and lifting of measures. I started ignoring most of the pandemic related news since the end of 2020, only keeping tabs on the more "crucial" ones such as vaccination registrations or any new nationwide measures we had to comply with. It's a little disconcerting that I am now quite numb to any reported stats when just last year a report of a even single new case or cluster kept me on my toes.
Midway through reading your second entry, a thought just struck me: Songhwa eats a lot and fast because she has to fight for food with her 3 brothers. Gyeoul is also a big eater and eats fast. Maybe for her, it's borne out of a need to simply survive. Gosh, I have so many bad scenarios playing in my head wrt Gyeoul's backstory, i think imma reach out to my screen to hug her when it is finally revealed.
HP has been such a comfort through these 2 years of crazy, hasnt it? And im glad i found a community of people online who loves this gem as much as I do!
Thank you for giving us another post! Please enjoy your precious time with loved ones and take good advantage of the lifting of the lockdown (and I hope it will all be fine afterwards, but still, be careful at the same time)! As much as I enjoy seeing your thoughts and interacting with other here, the world outside this forum is the real world and spending time with loved one is always a better use of time.
I, too, was getting numb about news and sometimes the line between reality and fiction can be thin - 2020 and 2021 have been difficult and part of me still feel unreal about all the things that happened. I had a pleasant time with my grandfather before Covid and in my mind, I seem to still believe I'd get to see him next time I visit home, but he is no longer here. At the same time, I have been able to draw comfort from HP - which is a fictional work that has been so close to reality, but yet giving so much hope that is almost unrealistic 😢. So, thank you for reviving this thread and giving us the space to share and cheer each other on. Take care!
