The doll house that has In-hye entranced yet again works as a key to unlocking the writer’s meticulous intentions for the latest episodes. The doll house symbolizes the ideal family and is a metaphor for the functional family that eludes both In-hye and Hyo-rin. In-hye’s personal fixation with the miniature domicile brings to the surface the hole in her heart, the gaping wound of being abandoned by her parents due to their irresponsible antics but especially in relation to money. Hyo-rin, on the other hand, barely copes with the illusion of stability that her ambitious parents present to the world. The so-called happy union between Park Sang-jae and Won Sang-a that they present to the world is a piece of well-constructed fiction that turns the mansion into a living doll house. It is entirely for show (and the cameras). Each member of the household plays their part working from a playbook and any attempt to veer off the script is met with violent disapproval as the Oh sisters have become privy to firsthand. The doll house is a metaphor for control as well as manipulation and there’s a technological equivalent of it via the close-circuit television cameras placed strategically all over the house. The video footage from all the cameras creates a montage that looks like parts of a doll house when viewed on the large television screen.
