#rebound relationship

Weakest Beast (Ep 9)

Kosei is blackmailed into conducting fraudulent accounting to hide an embezzlement but decided against it even though it cost him his career which he had spent years building it up diligently, working long hours. If was too much for him to handle that he attempted to commit suicide, until Akira arrives.

Akira caught him trying to do something stupid and decide to talk it out when Kosei realizes Akira is losing her job as well and is shocked to learn from her toxic boss that she is replaceable despite all the responsibilities accumulated over the years which almost led her to commit suicide at the train station.

Kosei saved Akira’s life and now Akira saved Kosei’s. 

The thing about rebound relationship is that it usually starts not because of love but loneliness. Both suffered a heartbreak from their respective relationship and is at the lowest point of their lives where they lose their jobs or even themselves so they don’t want to be in pain alone.

They need someone with a similar shared life experience to share their issues with as no one else knows what they’re going through but them. Like in this drama, both Kosei and Akira wanted someone they both couldn’t have, they both lost their career and they’re both alone, lost, confused and in pain.

Weakest Beast (Ep 9)

Difference between a love relationship and a rebound relationship is that in love relationship, one might have to lose himself or herself in search of being someone that is accepted and loved by the other.

In rebound relationship, there is no expectations, you can be yourself, say whatever you want and do whatever you want at any time, without offending or hurting the other because there is no commitment.
