It’s only occurred to me after 10 episodes of Bulgasal that what I’ve signed up for is a makjang with monsters. The fantasy elements are meant to facilitate the web of ill-fated human connections but the story is really a manichean power struggle rooted in family dysfunction that is often the staple of weekend family dramas. The lesson for all here seems to be that monsters aren’t born but made and that might be good news because it means that monsters could be unmade. Not easily perhaps but theoretically it can be done… with canisters of milk of human kindness.
