So as I looked through my previous posts I noticed that I have more posts marked draft than I do actual published posts. To appease the wrath of the readers of this blog, I decided to write about a Korean drama called East of Eden that is coming to a close, and then actually publish it (what a concept!). Don't worry, I'll keep this post is 100% spoiler-free. So you can go watch the episodes online after reading about how AWESOME it is. :D
Query: What would your reaction be if, at the age of 30, you found your long-lost brother that you haven't seen since you were 15 years old? If, in order to protect your younger brother, you dealt with gangsters, risking your own life multiple times and living your entire life to allow your brother to succeed as a prosecutor, while your mother thought that you were just a bad seed; only worthless trash?
Then, after many long years, just as things are about to settle down and the family is back together, you learn that your brother was switched at birth with the son of your arch nemesis, the man who killed your father when you were only five. You spent your life protecting the person you thought was your brother and actively trying to get revenge on the man who killed your father. Now you learn that you were protecting your enemy's kin while ruining your biological brother. What now?
Do we have to be of the same blood to be family? Does being of the same blood necessarily mean that we are family? Just what does it mean to be family?
This drama is by far the best drama I have ever watched, and is probably one of the best in the history of the genre. And trust me on that; I've seen just as many dramas, if not more, than the average Korean fangirl. East of Eden has such a complex, twisted plot with so many thought-provoking moments that I can barely write comprehensibly. What I just wrote in this post looks like complete gibberish, but I can't help it! I get so excited about sharing all of the life lessons I learned, as well as the heartwrenching things in the storyline. There's so much stuff in my mind that I can't possibly articulate everything clearly at once. So I will leave you with this sneak peek and go to bed. That's cue for you to stop reading this post and start googling websites that stream the drama. ;]
Bon soir, mes amis~
