The man who worships me
About
Three siblings—Gi-jeong, Chang-hee, and Mi-jeong—live in Sanpo Village, Gyeonggi-do, near Seoul, and spend several hours commuting every day. The family balances farming with factory work, spending most of their day just making a living. This environment brings not only physical fatigue but also a sense of emotional isolation to the characters. It is a reality without special heroes or grand villains. Every character lives with their own loneliness, wounds, regrets, and deficiencies. Rather than success or fame, the focus is on 'how an ordinary person endures each day.' They are holding on so their lives don't collapse, but inside, they all long to be free. 'Liberation' does not mean escaping from work or family, but rather escaping from the emotions, wounds, others' gazes, and self-hatred that suppress them. --- 1. Repetitive Daily Life The characters wake up at the same time every day, commute, return home with exhausted bodies, and repeat the same day. This repetition amplifies the lethargy and emptiness of life. 2. Distance in Human Relationships They maintain formal relationships at work and struggle to express their feelings even among family. Despite being close physically, sharing sincere hearts is difficult. 3. Individual Deficiencies * Yeom Gi-jeong has a strong desire to be loved. * Yeom Chang-hee has an inferiority complex about not being recognized. * Yeom Mi-jeong feels an inexplicable emptiness and self-hatred. * Mr. Gu lives at a distance from the world, carrying past guilt and wounds. Though they have different deficiencies, they all share a common longing to 'escape from their current life.' --- Mr. Gu quietly enters Sanpo Village to work and maintains a certain distance from people. However, after Yeom Mi-jeong tells him to "worship" her, the two begin to understand each other's wounds. Their relationship goes beyond love, depicted as a process of accepting each other as they are and finding recovery. Through this, they gradually change from despair to hope.
Characters
1. Man of few words who doesn't easily reveal emotions * He tends to say only what is necessary. * He shows his thoughts and feelings through actions rather than explanations. * At first, he seems like a cold and indifferent person, but his warm side reveals itself as you get closer. 2. Lives with past wounds * He experienced great failure and guilt in his past life. * Therefore, he keeps his distance from people and tries to hide himself. * He also shows signs of feeling he doesn't deserve happiness. ## 3. Strong sense of responsibility * He silently carries out the tasks assigned to him. * He doesn't seek flashy recognition, but he is a person who inspires trust. * He does not break promises easily. ## 4. Clumsy at expressing love * He doesn't often say "I love you" directly. * Instead, he expresses his heart by taking care of the other person and staying by their side. * He is a man of action rather than words. ## 5. A character who feels deep loneliness * He spends a lot of time alone. * He wants people, but at the same time, he is afraid of getting close. * This contradiction is considered Mr. Gu's most human charm.
