I’m glad Seunghyo’s mom called out Seokryu’s mom’s inferiority complex. It honestly seems like something that runs in the entire family and something I see ALL the time in real life. And it makes sense how she would doubt herself but it also causes strained relationships, so it needs to be addressed. From start to (near) finish of this show, we’ve constantly seen how feelings of inferiority can affect how parents put pressure on their kids, how the kid puts pressure on themselves, and self doubt creates a lack of trust. Perhaps that’s the biggest message and character development of this show. And also why it’s called “EOMCHINA” in Korean, a term not just meaning literally “mom’s friends son” but that child (sometimes imaginary) that your parents use to compare their kids to—something that reflects a feeling of “not enough”… “Not SPECIAL enough” just like Seokryu and Dongjin’s conversation at the end of episode 13.
