Why does Alice want to enter Cheongdam-dong?
Why would she scheme her way into Cheongdam-dong, hurting herself and others in the process? What can't she use hard work and talent, instead of pretense and lies?
Because she wants to gain a place in this world, this world, which does not believe in her.
Everybody works hard. But the poor needs to work harder than the rich, to become somebody.
Since the rich are born with the upperhand, they should not blame the poor for trying to achieve something that was unfairly kept from them in the first place.
"Alice in Cheongam-dong" explores the concept of the poor trying to win society's recognition, by scheming into the rich world. Is this right, or wrong?
Well..
There is something fundamentally and morally wrong with stealing a rich man's heart to get into the rich world.
Watching the drama, however, I can't help but side with Alice, because I understand her motive.
This world, as it is made, adores money. Money, brings status.
Everyone has different expectations of the world. Everyone can dream big and should dream big.
However, this world cannot cater to everybody.
Status.. You are either born with it, win it by luck, or achieve it through hard work.
Who ever says scheming is not hard work?
Betraying yourself and others, is not easy. The guilt can kill you a million times, inside.
What do you say?

Dream while you can
Colour your soul
Chase your shadow
Embrace the orange glow
Smile and laugh and cheer
Win the world's most expensive gem
that is
Happiness
Some things are not meant to be
Enjoy everything while it lasts
Grasp the most heartfelt emotions and
Pour them out to those whom you love
Genuine smiles are so rare that
You will feel a tug at your heart when you see one
You'll want to protect that smile and
Let it last forever
Warmth
is a hug when you need one
is a hand to dry your tears
is a consolation pat on your head
How nice
to have such warmth last forever
You know,
People won't stay forever
When you look at the empty space beside you and
Start to think of that person missing from your life
You'll know that it's past
Past and present
They are not within our control
We are all part of fate's little game

影子的责任
它是那么默默的、安静的、毫不起眼的跟着你。
就算被你忽略或任人踩踏也仍然风雨不改陪着你。
太亮太多人的时候你看不见它。
一个人寂寞的时候你才发现它。
每个人都有他的义务,而当别人的影子,其实也是一种义务。
影子虽然没有实用价值,但它也有它背负的责任。
有时候发现自己越来越像一个影子,但就是离不开、走不掉。
你曾经当过别人的影子吗?

Life
What is a life?
The sun rises, the sun sets.
The city lights up, the city dims.
People laugh, people cry.
We eat, and we sleep.
We lose something or someone, and then we move on.
We study, we work and we die.
Such is life.
