I get it, I wouldn’t ever flip a table but I mean Gwansik ( park Bogum’s character ) did tell her to flip a table and he’d take care of it. It all goes back to that conversation they had in their room. Do I condemn it? Honestly I don’t know, being in her shoes I might do the same if someone wants to take my daughter and throw her to the sea but I believe the whole purpose was to show how even if Oh Aesun ( IU’s character ) where to flip a table ( which she did ) he’d take her side and handle the consequences even if it means going against his family for his wife and child. That’s how I saw it.

Terry I wanted to explain some of the meaning behind these scenes for you. The grandma and mum throwing beans and rice at IU every morning and night reflects an old ritual where people did this if they believed someone brought bad luck or had demons or spirits attached to them. The scene where Bogum turns away from his dad and grandma’s table to sit with IU and his mum is especially symbolic. It represents him rejecting the traditional social norms where men held higher status and sat at the “main table” with better food like beans, meat, and fish, while wives and daughters were expected to sit at a side table with only plain rice and side dishes. These details are easy to miss now because it feels unthinkable today, but at the time—especially in Jeju—this was very real. There was even a saying: “It’s better to be a cow than a woman in Jeju,” because cows were considered more valuable and useful. Another major theme in the show is IU’s mother, who had passed away, being a diver. In Jeju, female divers (haenyeo) were incredibly significant, but the role was traditionally given to women because it was seen as acceptable for them to risk dying at any moment due to the tides. This ties back to how women’s lives in Jeju were often treated as less important. That’s why IU was so devastated when she saw her daughter being recommended to become a diver as well because it basically means sacrifice your life for our wellbeing hence why they had a "death table" lying there for her sacrifice.

I just want to say I appreciate your opinion on the flipping table scene. I get it. Nothing more to add since the other comments explained~
