Synopsis
The everyday worries of women who have reached the marriageable age -
Long time ago it was so...
When at school they would ask, “ What is your future dream? ” and girls would write, “… to be a wise and good housewife”. A wise and good housewife means exactly what it says; a wise mother and a good wife but such words have slowly started to vanish, why?
As society changes and more women start to launch themselves into it, and education levels become the same as men, unlike earlier times, being a wise and good housewife has become a product of the past. It has gotten to the point where if you say that you’d like to become a wise and good housewife people will laugh at you. Maybe these words to the new generation means sacrifice and obedience. Still how could such nice words change into such a bad meaning because of the change in generations? Is it not enough just being a wise mother and good wife, even though you were born to a prestigious home, received higher education than others, and have a job where you can pour your skills into? In America, a country more advanced than ours in many ways, education teaches that women show superior household skills, that this is the most valuable work, and is the best choice one could make. It is a great worry that our country reverses this thought and makes it into a less important role.
The characters are not just spiritless and subservient women who know nothing else but love, and are dragged here and there by men, they are just ordinary college graduates worrying about their future, marriage and family. It’s time we had a drama with characters who worry about the ordinary and draw the importance of a woman’s role in a family. It’s time we show how a modern housewife lives and dreams of a day where women will wish to be housewives once again.
