I didn’t see it coming and Park Sihoo-ssi’s Choi Dokyung in KBS drama “My Golden Life” certainly didn’t either. That crash landing! Oh my god! Poor Oppa!
After facing rejection from Seo Jian who told him in no uncertain terms that she doesn’t want to ever meet him again, Oppa Choi finally decided to make a clean break. Symbolically, he returned to her the wooden figurines of the Seo family – all six of them, not five as we have originally thought.
However, his feeling has cut so deep that he just could not forget. Her presence is everywhere, at work and even when he was on his first date with his soon to be fiancee! In his desperation to get her out of his mind totally, when Jang Sora asked him when they should get engaged, he blurted out that they should head straight into marriage instead.
But even then, Oppa Choi’s mind was full of the woman who has claimed his heart. So distracted he was that he didn’t pay attention when he was driving.
And then it was…crash! Oh my god!
What would happen to Oppa? Will he be seriously injured because of the crash? So dreading tonight’s Episode 28 of “My Golden Life”! KBS 2 at 1955h Korean time! Let Oppa be fine, please, please, please!

#朴施厚# #我黃金光輝的人生# 看到道京撞車的預告片,真的太震撼了,希望他沒事,也希望他快點認定自己的真心意,快失控的情緒調整過來。
Looking at the preview of episode 28 , I was horrified by the last scene, when Do Kyung is getting crushed by a truck, while he was thinking of Seo Jian. I don’t like such tragedies in his life with unknown consequences. But it’s true that in films we almost always find the story from the viewpoint of regected lover. And both rejecter and would-be-lover can end up feeling or becoming victims. Can this happen to DO Kyung in episode 28, due to his heartbreak of his unrequited love? He feels unhappy, guilty, rejected by Jian, although he never told her he likes or loves her. On the other hand , Seo Jian deep in her heart, although she told him how upset was his unwanted attention made her, she has feelings for him, although she told him that they should follow each own path . Do Kyung decided to move forward , even to get married earlier with Sora, hoping to forget Jian. But although he wants his wounds be healed, he touches them again and again. The more he tries to forget , the more he remembers Jian. Could this be the cause of his accident? I’m expecting episode 28 to confirm me or not my supposition..
I really like your blog and really appeciate your recaps and perspective on what happened in each episode. I have moticed that you and many other viewers are understandably not thrilled w some of JA’s behavior toward CDK. I think you are also under the mistaken idea that if we explain JA’s behavior, we think she’s perfect and has no faults. I personally love JA and CDK and I can see their faults and still love them. I think there’s a vital difference between defending bad behavior vs a misunderstood behavior. I would ask you and those who expect JA to be warmer toward CDK & stop with her “self-pity” to reconsider some essential factors before judging her. I addressed it in another forum but that quote applies to your understandable feelings as well.
[Regarding JA’s anger & coldness toward CDK & why she’s so traumatized & depressed not self-pitying:]
Sadly we the audience are privy to what’s in CDK’s heart and actions are when he’s not w JA. However, JA the character’s only latest experiences w CDK are when he humiliated her, rejected her, and wouldn’t let her ask him for help w his parents that night which started off a chain of painful & traumatic events in her life.
Within a few weeks JA basically lost TWO families, her job that she was so good at, her twin sis who she sacrificed so much for slapped her, her friendship w CDK & new love for him was essentially cruelly destroyed by his harsh words and cutting her off, then watching what she thought was her worst fears happening to her dad.
I wish the MGL PD & writer expanded more to help the audience better understand how successive traumas can result in severe depression and even suicide. It’s a huge reason why Asia has the highest suicide rate bc ppl don’t understand that severe depression isn’t something that someone can just snap out of and each person bc of their history and brain chemistry is different, will heal at different rates. Impatience and lack of understanding of depression can lead to lack of compassion which can be deadly for those who suffer from it.
I’m so glad Huyk innately knows this and is gentle and patient w JA accordingly. Plus after CDK found JA all he’s done is yelled at her before apologizing, roughly yanked her out of the car and tried to dictate to her how she should live her life. Doing this all while she’s still traumatized and in deep depression while never addressing how he cruelly told her to never expect anything from him from that meeting that night going forward. How can any of us not shut down emotionally after all that?
I just ask for a more complete assessment of JA’s behavior not just an assessment that leaves out vital reasons for that behavior as if that behavior happened in a vacuum. I say all this bc its such a popular misconception of JA right now & in real life, ppl with depression & traumas are constantly made to feel even more stressed and traumatized by well meaning people who mistakenly react to their deadly suicidal depression with impatience. Thanks for considering what I wrote and for your ineresting perspective and hard work on your blog.
Ann, many thanks for sharing your perspectives and what is depression and its impact. Let me say they are very much welcome.
I am not here to either support or condemn SJA or for that matter any other characters in the drama, though of course, I hope that at the end, there will be a happy ending for CDK and SJA. I write only how I see things and as the story unfolds. Definitely nothing stands still because circumstances and people change, so you will see my views changing as the story evolves. But I sometimes will try to skew the balance (replying through comments mainly) when there is one overwhelming view that can cloud other voices or no voice at all from those who they have opinions but they are intimidated or infuriated by the strong views of others, they just keep quiet.
All of the characters have faults, one key one being all of them view things from their own perspectives and how they themselves would take action. “View” being the operative word. SJA saw what she saw and made her conclusion. Rightly or wrongly, she viewed herself as the “protector” of the family and take it upon herself to shoulder everything, never thinking to share the burden as her “twin” later pointed it out. Her sister SJS saw what she saw and concluded that her family doesn’t love her or care about her and have “used” her. Her about turn to go to the Chois also drew a lot of hate and condemnation (but unfortunately, she has less “sympathisers” to defend her actions simply because she is the 2nd female lead). Like SJA is not privy to CDK’s feelings, CDK is not privy to SJA’s suicide attempt either, even till now. He only saw what he saw and his past experience of SJA, so can be expected, he used the same yardstick in his approach to her. Of course, he would be made to eat humble pie later – that is inevitable.
As the storyline is centred on the female character, there is a much vocal and sympathetic stand towards her. This is understandable and there have been a lot written about her situation on this blog and elsewhere. Writer So has brilliantly put on her psychological hat in her portrayal of SJA. I am not unsympathetic to her position, nor am I ignorant of depression as I have a couple of people whom I work with that suffer from this malady. They are totally different and need different approaches – one needs the sympathetic ear, the other reacts better with a more authoritative stand. In SJA’s case, the former was what Writer So chose to be her “remedy”.
Please keep your views coming and sharing them so that we can see different perspectives. But as I have cautioned before, MGL is a drama, entertainment, so just don’t let fantasy cloud reality and go way too deep! 🙂
Dear Ann, I like to pen a few words to thank you for taking the efforts to write about depression. What you have shared, to me, are valuable advice and observations about severe depression, which I myself could not express as clear as you have done. Having read your comment the week before, I had wanted to come thank you, however some other bad news took my headspace and mood I have not done so until now. No doubt every reader is being reminded not to be taking words and feedback and views derived from MGL drama to be personal, however when it touches serious social issues such as severe depression, here we cannot draw the line that this is just drama talk. It is for real. Therefore I thought for someone like yourself who cares enough of this issue of severe depression that is affecting many people, I should come add my comment at the same time to thank you. Nance has since replied your feedback citing she herself has a couple of depression cases, and Nance, you mentioned “They are totally different and need different approaches – one needs the sympathetic ear, the other reacts better with a more authoritative stand. In SJA’s case, the former was what Writer So chose to be her “remedy”. I would not think you are ignorant about depression, Nance, however by what you said the other reacts better with a more authoritative stand in where you work, I seem to think the cases you are referring to are not severe depression, rather, loss of sparkle, or a bit down, lack of motivation, are more likely kind of state of mental, or milder form of depression. My understanding of severe depression is that not only that the sufferers need a sympathetic ear, it can be a case of nothing can be forthcoming from the sufferer even when you want to lend your sympathetic ear. Nothing can be forthcoming for a long long time. For severe depression, other than patience, is still patience, which Ann has reiterated in her last words. I have never heard about being authoritative is the way to handle severe depression, with the hope to snap them back to normality. As Ann mentioned “people with depression & traumas are constantly made to feel even more stressed and traumatized by well meaning people who mistakenly react to their deadly suicidal depression with impatience.” Not only the tone of authoritative is going to drive the sufferer further away, even words that are neutral can be over sensitively recepted by severe depression sufferers when their emotional state is in complete shut down. Example, we might say will be good for you if you would go talk to someone professional, say a psychiatrist, the sufferer’s reception will interpret that as ” what , you think I am mad? you want me to be locked in the mad house?” that will result in the sufferer withdraw further from the person trying to help. The last thing the severe depression sufferer needed is to face authoritative instructions. To them they have completely given up on life to commit suicide, not until they have had enough time and space to breathe life again, they will not be receptive towards any stimulus. For severe depression, I believe the stimulus should be most gently delivered, and while delivering, watch and gauge if any of the words can be oversensitive. I would never dare to use authoritative method to snap a severe depression sufferer. Be patience and accept every little step the sufferer is taking his/her own initiative is what I believe to way to handle severe depression sufferers. And if it takes a life time, it takes a life time.
Be patient, not be patience. Bad English
