윤

엄마 was more excited by the casting of 전도연 than in her new JTBC series 인간실격, but after the first week’s two episodes I fail to see the connection with the source material other than the title. Unless the story pivots back to the character who drowned (successfully, I might add) but otherwise wasn’t shown outside a few scenes to let his friends prepare his funeral, I doubt even the Cannes winner will reveal herself as Dazai’s hapless wretch.What’s more intriguing to me is that upon reading the original work—or revisiting it, I did dabble in this kind of thing in my late teens—how much I’m reminded by the narrator of 윤대섭’s own “negative man” concept; was this was his inspiration all along? Might have been Catcher in the Rye for 東大 students at the time.
