The drama invites us to change our perspective on autism and the disabled through the story of an autistic lawyer Woo.
The drama not only deepened the writer's understanding of the disease called autism and the disabled people who appeared in the drama, but also made her realize that we are all disabled but think we are normal. With our love of money we cannot be the subject of free decisions, we study hard and try to live well, but many do not find meaning in life, give up, develop mental disorders not infrequently distancing themselves from family members over matters such as money.
In
one of the episodes the (self-proclaimed commander-in-chief of the
Liberation Army) Bang a Pied Piper-like character reminded Sister of
Jesus. He was the son of the director of an Academy. Is arrested as a
kidnapper who hijacked a school bus one day and took the 12 children to
the mountain so they could play. He freed the children from studying for
a while, and played fun games— hide and seek and tag.
The
Study Academy keeps the children at the academy until 10 pm to study.
They can't go out at all, have no breaks or meal times, and only go to
the bathroom, but these academies are the most popular among parents.
Bang says that the enemies of children are schools, academies, and
parents, and that it is his job to liberate these children. His mission
is to allow children to play, be healthy and happy.
Lawyer
Woo defends Mr. Bang not as a megalomaniac, but as a seeker of truth
who who wants to reform the existing social system.
Sister
sees Jesus in this situation. Jesus came 2000 years ago to set us free
from the pain and suffering of sin. He came to give us rest, health, and
happiness. He came to set us free from our temporal lusts, pride,
jealousy, and greed. He preached the value of the kingdom of God that
rich people, powerful people, and people who laugh are not always the
happy people, but happy are the poor, meek people, and those who mourn.
Because
of the difference between the temporal values of the world and the
values of the kingdom of God, Jesus became a sign of opposition from
political and religious leaders, and eventually was put to death.
In order to spread the kingdom of God, Jesus personally selected 12
disciples to experience the kingdom of God by living together as a
community. These twelve apostles gave their lives to proclaim the
gospel, the good news of the kingdom of God.
The
drama wants to show that the experiences of 12 children who played
with Mr. Bang will have a big impact on their lives. They did not throw
away the acorns they picked up while playing with Bang but made
bracelets and necklaces and kept them as souvenirs.
Our
structures in society, social norms, laws, media, our family life, our
experiences our education... all influence us for the good or the bad.
Consequently the need for wisdom and discernment— a need to
interact in a human and loving way with everybody.
Magnanimity what a beautiful word! The Latin word animus means 'soul' that which gives life.
Magnus
means great, big. We are all called to be persons with big souls, big
hearts. Mr. Bang was such a person and the drama wants to move the viewer to
work as big hearted citizens to realize a more compassionate, tender,
loving society.
