It begins across a cold sea, a blueprint for relational confusion drawn initially by Josephine Bornebusch. The source material depicts a family described, curiously, as "somewhat selfish"—a blunt term for the complex architecture of human self-preservation that often dictates how we navigate domestic space. Yet, the framework shifts slightly in the Korean retelling, *Love Me*, promising not merely the diagnosis of the affliction but its potential, blinding cure.
