#not exactly the same as the other two as moo jin doesnt fit the archetype perfectly

[joels-watch-is-broken]

I'm sucker for portrayals of father-daughter relationships where your heart is absolutely broken and torn to pieces.

It's like oh my god look at this violent and anger filled man become a father figure (often unwillingly and despite himself) who ends up accepting that his love for his adopted daughter has changed him irrevocably.

Something about watching such a character surrendering to a love so pure as the one a father has for a daughter. This big scary and merciless man who cares about nothing and no one but himself and his goal meeting his undoing in this girl/woman whose only deed to achieve this was being her lovable self.

And this happens in romantic stories too. But it hits different with this type of love. This is a love that ask for nothing, not even reciprocity, it's not needed. It's not about blood, it's not about you came from my guts and I raised you and formed you. It's I found you, out in the world, just as you were and loved you for it, I asked nothing in return just to able to protect you.

And the thing is they never say "aaaw found family!". NOOOO, this guy's always deny it until their "certainly not adopted daughter just a kid I watch over" is in danger and they are like oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck and they realize they would doom the entire world for them.

AAAAAAAAAAH
