"Stop saying it's for me"... Tragic conflict caused by excessive parental affection

A tragic side has been depicted where the devotion of parents who make their child's happiness their sole purpose in life can sometimes act as a massive pressure on the child. In the video for episode 12 of the JTBC drama 'Beautiful World', the conflict is captured between a mother who throws everything away for her child and a son who appeals that he is suffocated by that affection.

"Mom, you are not my life"... A child's rebellion born from overprotection

In the video, the son poured out sharp criticism toward his mother, who tries to sacrifice everything for him. The mother showed a devoted attitude, saying, "If only you can be happy, Mom can do anything," and "You are Mom's entire world," but this came to the son not as salvation, but as restraint. The son expressed the psychological pain brought by the excessive expectations and obsession of his parents, saying, "All Mom wants is for me to be happy, but it was harder to look at Mom, who only looks at me and has no life other than me."

In particular, the son revealed how much the compulsion to meet his parents' expectations has constrained him, mentioning his past where he could not gain satisfaction despite trying crazily to become the person his father wanted him to be. This is read as a part that suggests the negative impact that a parent's unconditional love can have on a child's formation of self.

The missing CCTV and the pursuit of truth

Behind the incident, suspicions related to school violence and circumstances attempting to conceal them are intertwined. In the video, an attempt appears to check the CCTV to confirm the time gap on the day of a specific incident. However, the school's CCTV person in charge showed a sharp reaction to the question of "Why was the original destroyed?", asking if they had come for an interrogation rather than an inquiry. According to the situation in the video, the original CCTV in question has been disposed of very quickly, acting as an obstacle to the movement to reveal the truth of the incident.

Furthermore, in the process of verifying the victim student's alibi, efforts by individuals to clarify the truth are shown, such as confirming through a librarian's testimony that a specific student stayed at a specific place on the day of the incident.

Diverging responsibilities and confrontations filled with wounds

The confrontation between the individuals surrounding the incident also intensifies. The school showed a response of calmly accepting the problem and suggesting they reflect on themselves, but this triggered fierce backlash from the victim's side, asking, "Are you blaming the victim?" Meanwhile, amidst movements to evade responsibility for the incident or to patch up the conflict, the individuals clash while adhering to their respective positions. While someone argues that one should not be held back by the past and should move toward the future, a pattern emerges where that very process becomes another wound to those who have suffered damage.
