Chained by guilt, Oppa Choi might be in Haesung for the long haul
Park Sihoo-ssi’s Choi Dokyung in KBS drama “My Golden Life” was adamant that he wanted his independence and that he would not return to Haesung Group. He wanted to manage his own life and not continue to be a puppy under his grandfather’s control. He was so happy, so full of energy and passion when his fledgling DK Eco Tech got off the ground starting off with products for pets made from recycled materials.
However, when his grandfather collapsed, he did a quick about turn on his stand, dropping everything he had strived and struggled to achieve since leaving home, to return to the folds of Haesung as President of Haesung Apparel. So quick, cutting off everything and seemingly so unfeeling!
Guilt ridden being the cause of his grandfather’s collapse
He told Seon Woohyuk who challenged his quick departure from the shared house, that it was none of his business. He refused to share his stand on Seo Jian and his new business and that by returning to Haesung, he was letting down so many people who had helped him. Choi Dokyung appeared so opportunistic, so ruthless, so heartless.
But Oppa Choi was feeling immense pain. He had to return to Haesung not by choice. He was chained by guilt and he will find it tough to break free!
Guilt was eating into him for causing his grandfather’s collapse. His grandfather whom he had always thought as very strong had a heart failure because of his refusal to return. As his mother said, no one was forever strong. At times it could be all a facade.
Oppa Choi has to put aside his own interests to look out for his family
With his family facing a crisis, a magnitude which they have never experienced before, his guilt and his allegiance to them might mean he has to stay put in Haesung for the long haul.
There goes Oppa Choi’s dream of a golden life up in smoke. Unless Haesung and its key players change in their attitude, it will be like what he himself said, his life will forever not be his own, but controlled like a puppy! He is chained by his guilt!
Is this what Writer So wants for Choi Dokyung? We wait to see!

Choi Dokyung felt compelled out of guilt to return to Haesung
他从共享房子快速离开，鲜宇赫挑战他时，崔道京告诉他别管闲事。他拒绝与鲜宇赫分享他对徐智安和他的新建的事业的立场，回到海星，他让很多曾经帮助过他的人失望。崔道京显得如此无情。
但是偶吧Oppa崔是心里感到万分的痛苦。他是没得选择的回到海星，被内疚所束缚，很难去挣脱！
内疚因为是他导致祖父的崩溃。他一直认为非常强壮的祖父，因他拒绝返回海星而心脏病发作。正如他的母亲所说，没有人会永远坚强。有时可能只是伪装的表面。

随着家人面临危机，经历以前从未经历过的危机，他的内疚和对家人的忠诚可能意味着他必须长期留在海星。
偶吧Oppa 崔的黄金色的人生梦想变成了烟雾。除非海星及其主要成员对人生有所改变，否则就像崔道京自己说的一样，他的人生永远不会是他自己的，而是像小狗一样的被控制！他被内疚所束缚！
这是苏作家想要给崔道京的黄金光辉的人生吗？ 我们拭目以待！

“If you’re made to feel guilty for being human, then you’re going to be trapped in a never-ending sin-and -repent cycle, that you can’t escape from.”[Marilyn Manson] And that’s how Do Kyung feels , when his grandfather has collpsed learning about his achievement of his own business “DK Echo Tech”, after many hindrances from his grandpa. Do Kyung feels guilty being human, feels concerned for his grandpa’s illness. And he runs to hospital, and quits his new business, and he returns to Haesung Corporation, just to console his grandpa. Poor Do Kyung, he hasn’t realized that he has been trapped in his grandpa’s never-ending endeavours to bring him back to the company, to have him still his puppy, to block up his desire of independence. But Do Kyung should not feel guilty about taking time for himself, about striving his desire to become independent, to build his own business, to escape from the exisitng barriers of his grandpa. I don’t think there is any reason for Do Kyung to feel guilty about being enthusiastic of achieving a dream, of having a joy in his life. And I deeply disagree with his grandpa’s selfishness, self-interest only for his company, his despotic behaviour towards his grandson. There is a saying:”Old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.” Do Kyung must not be chained by guilt, he should strive not to feel guilty by adding fuel to the flames of his grandpa’s stubborness, tyranical mind, wickedness and ambition. Do Kyung must not feel guilty, as he has tried to do somthing constructive in his life, he has tried not to waste time, he has tried to do something good for his life: his independance.Do Kyung must get out of his grandpa’s trap, must erase his thought of being guilty , he must believe in his own choice , he must not feel guilty about striving to be happy and independent.
