Yesterday I was at home after work with nothing to do and I decided to watch Page Turner, of course acted by my super favourite Kim So Hyun. Any show with her in it definitely attracts me to watch the show.
It was those kind of drama special which is only 3 episodes but to be honest I'm very impressed with it because it was a very meaningful drama and 3 episodes is nice as there wun be too much fillers of the story which makes everything short and sweet.
The shows revolves around 3 teenagers, Yoon YooSeol ( Kim SoHyun ) , Seo JinMok ( Shin JaeHa ) and Jung ChaSik ( Ji Soo ).
Yoon YooSeol is a talented panist who has won alot of competitions and is the top of the class. Seo JinMok is the classmate of Yoon YooSeol and is always the 2nd of the class. JinMok is slightly less talented but he puts in alot of hardwork to make up for the lack of talent.
YooSeol and JinMok knew each other since young and has been rivals because of YooSeol's mom as she was the piano teacher of JinMok and JinMok coming from a rich family despies her and because of this, he is so unhappy because he is constantly losing to YooSeol and one day he cannot take it anymore and he decided to make a wish as he thinks YooSeol and her mom is too cocky that he feels they need to get some punishment so that they wun be so cocky.
And his wish was granted.
YooSeol met with an accident and she lost her sight. And this made JinMok really regretted his decision for the wish.
And now we move on to Jung ChaSik's side of the story.
Jung ChaSik is an athlete who specialise in high jump. But one day due to a small injury he went to the doctor and found out that he does have a more serious injury which is on his spine which affects what he likes best, high jumping.
And suddenly fate lets the 3 of them meet each other at the hospital and fate lets them meet in school.
ChaSik volunteers to help YooSeol to and fro school as she has lost her sight.
I'll stop talking more about the story and talk about the individual things of them which made me have alot of thoughts in life.
When YooSeol lost her sight, her mom is so worried about how she is unable to play the piano anymore which really made her felt so sad. When she lost her sight, the first thing that the mom worried is how she is not able to play the piano and not about how she is gonna live on with her life.
She felt that everything she is doing in her life, including playing the piano is all for her mom as her mom puts all the drive on her to be the top pianist as this is something that her mom is unable to do when she is young so she hopes that YooSeol will be able to do it but in the expenses of YooSeol's happiness.
She said she was able to experience so many things when she went blind because she doesn't have to play the piano anymore which she is able to experience a new life.
After all these happens, Seo JinMok regretted what he wished for and he wants to do something for YooSeol by secretly helping her in anyway he can.
JinMok is someone that really enjoys playing the piano even though he knew that he is not as talented as YooSeol but his dad insisted on him taking the SAT test and giving up playing the piano as his dad feels playing the piano will not get him anywhere.
Jung Chasik felt so dejected after he had that injury which doesn't allow him to do high jump anymore that his mom decided to tell him a lie that his dad is a very famous pianist which makes him believes that he will have talent in playing the piano in which he ask YooSeol to teach him on how to play the piano.
After finishing the show, I felt so sad inside.
YooSeol, because of all the expectations given to her by her mom, she cannot enjoy what she likes because of all the pressure given to her which in turn gave her such an unhappy life since small.
JinMok is someone who really loves playing the piano but due to the pressure given by his dad, is not able to do something that he really likes, which is playing the piano.
ChaSik on the other hand feels that unable to do high jump anymore, he is useless in his life as he is unable to do any other things.
Sometimes in life, we shouldn't expect our kids to be able to do something that we are unable to achieve when we had the chance, we should be letting them do something that they really like or enjoy in life as something that we like doesn't mean that they will like. By giving them invisible pressure, we are directly affecting their life as they will feel that you being their parent they have to do what you tell them even if they dislike doing it.
And sometimes if you feel dejected that you are unable to do what you really wanted, you can instead have a change of view and have a change in decision.
Sometimes its not that we're not able to do something new which is a very unfamiliar thing to us. Sometimes we just need motivation and of course a push at the back so that we will have that drive to try to achieve what we're unfamiliar with.
Its the same thing as looking out of the box or leaving the comfort zone of your life. Sometimes you may find a greener pasture in your life or find something fresh which may interest you more den the previous thing you have done.
Page Turner, such a damm good drama.
