Sometimes family is you, your coworker, 3 kids you grabbed from the side of the road, a bartender, an ex soldier, a plagiarist, a guy that wants you dead, his sister, ex girlfriend, and two stupid teens that follow him around, your landlord, your ex boss and his daughter, a fujoshi angel, a monkey, a dragon, a coorporate slave, and your daughter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YJH

[orphiclovers]

Absolutely crazy that Yoo Mia's name means 'stray child' in Korean. Whose fault is it that she ended up with it?

Did Kang Woohyun say 'Hey, someone left a 미아 at your front door' and Yoo Joonghyuk misinterpreted that as 'Someone left a 'Mia' at the door'? And when he realized his mistake he was like... I have a GREAT idea for a name?

Were Han Sooyoung's naming conventions really really on the nose, and the note that came with Yoo Mia ended up saying 'Hey. This is your sister Yoo Orphan. Deal with her k thx bye xoxo, signed Your Parents'?

Or was there no name on the note, so Yoo Joonghyuk and Kang Woohyun ended up calling her 'the lost child' while deciding what to do with her, and eventually it just stuck and became her name? So many questions.

Side note: This adds a layer to Kim Dokja calling Yoo Mia's role as 'conveniently crafted only to become a tragedy'. The lost child. It's her name. The trope she fulfils is 'The Protagonist's weakness and motivation, someone innocent to try and fail to save.'

Can I just point out how Sooyoung is actually good with kids. Gilyoung forgives her and jokes around with her in good humor same with Yoosung. And her taking care of Yoo Mia after Joonghyuk goes to space. She works as professor in college. Her students loves her. I just like how well-adjusted she is despite bs she been through. It such testament of the cycle ending with her despite growing up not having good adult role models. She is rough in the edges but overall a reliable adult. What more can you say.

I think generally one of the biggest overall faults of ORV is how much the women are so frequently defined by the men around them.

Jung Heewon is Kim Dokja's sword and a matching pair with Lee Hyunsung. She was sexually assaulted and left to die and only survived because a man saved her. Her connection with Uriel is the most major one she has with another woman, which I cannot understate but it is something we only see glimpses of. The Paradise Arc is one of the few places where we really get to see Jung Heewon's own feelings, outside of just the definition or framework of the men in her life.

Uriel's most notable defining traits that make her more than just WoS Uriel are (in the 1864th turn) her love of Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk and (in the 999th turn) being in love with Yoo Joonghyuk. [This is a bit of an oversimplified and pessimistic view of the way Uriel is presented but I think you guys get what I'm trying to say]

Lee Jihye is mostly defined by Yoo Joonghyuk (the guy who taught her to fight), Kim Dokja (the guy who convinced her live), and Kim Namwoon (the guy who has feelings for her that she doesn't return). She is close with Jung Heewon but we never actually get elaboration on this fact! Na Bori and the kids are like the only things we get outside of the men in her life and even then she is usually just the babysitter!!

Lee Seolhwa is literally only spared because Kim Dokja thought that Yoo Joonghyuk would fall apart if she didn't live! Not because of her extreme medical prowess, not because she is a person, but simply because her boyfriend would be sad. Hell! We barely know anything about her outside of Yoo Joonghyuk!!!

Yoo Mia is also entirely defined by Yoo Joonghyuk! We don't know anything about her besides her connections to her brother!!

Anna Croft is pretty much exclusively defined by Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja! Neither of which have good opinions on her! So she's just kind of framed as a bitch with little elaboration otherwise. There are implications she is more but goddamn if we barely get to see them!

Don't get me wrong, ORV has its really awesome moments. But fuck do a lot of the women not really exist outside of the men for a large portion of the story.

I know this has likely been talked about to death for most of the characters but Jung Heewon was one that particularly stuck out to me as Jung Heewon in the sequel is not only saved by a man but saved by a man who is specifically a fanboy of hers (not sure how it's handled past that tho).
