Kdrama Women’s Week: Most Likely to Escape an Abusive Relationship

Cheon Song Yi – You Who Came From The Stars

Song Yi is too amazing to be stuck with some pretty-face space-boy who just pops in and out of her world with no warning. He may be from the stars but she is the star, and alien-boy just won’t cut it by Peter Pan-ing in and out of her life. Song Yi deserves better than that, and while she may have a soft spot for his pretty alien face, she needs a reliable guy that will stay by her side through thick and thin.

Love can transcend space and time – yeah, sure, whatever. Love may be able to, but relationships take work and most of that is just being there. If he only pops in and out for the important events and not the times when she needs someone to go buy her tampons in the middle of the night or rub her feet after a long day of work or give her reassuring kisses when she’s feeling particularly depressed about a film review, then that’s not a healthy relationship.

If you want to make it work, you gotta be able to stick around. Space-boy may make for a good story, but he ain’t marriage material.
