Weakest Beast (Ep 8)
This is probably the first J-drama that I have difficulty watching, because of this annoying character named, Shuri. She refuses to work and remains unemployed for five years while being a freeloader at her boyfriend’s house.
Even after they break up, she refuses to leave and her boyfriend still pays for expenses while she laze around all day playing games, not wanting to work like everyone else, as having to step out and work for others is a hassle.
The least she could do is a take a flexible part time job, maybe at a games or comics store since she love them so much, but to not even put in any effort or try at all and expecting her life to just change for the better is insane.
It gets more frustrating seeing her hating her boyfriend’s new girlfriend, Akira, who works her butts off in a toxic company where she end up doing all the work due to incompetent colleagues who always have excuses to avoid work.
And constantly getting yelled at by her boss despite being such a reliable company secretary who is becoming more than just a secretary doing other people’s job and getting spammed day and night about work matters.
Akira reached a breaking point several times wanting to quit or even commit suicide at the train station, getting drunk, while struggling to accept the fact that her boyfriend’s ex (Shuri) is still living with him (how do you think Akira feels?)
And Shuri got the nerve to say Akira’s life is going so smoothly without a hitch, calling her a showoff who tries too hard to be nice and liked by everyone, when Akira is just trying to stay positive despite all the shit that’s going on in her life.
So watching this scene of Shuri getting told by Kosei (Akira’s friend) who have a habit of telling things straight as it is, is really satisfying. He’s like “do you really think that you’re the only one here who is going through shit in life?”
