Title Motif & Symbolism: The Meaning of 'Bi-Kwang'
Origin & Motif: Inspired by the visual of an entire family gathering to play Go-Stop (Hwatu, traditional Korean flower cards).
Symbolic Meaning: In the game of Hwatu, the "Bi-Kwang" (Rain Bright) card is often perceived as the least useful or most awkward card in hand. However, when played at the right moment, it becomes the ultimate game-changer capable of dramatically turning the tables—mirroring how this marginalized, seemingly broken family unites to overcome insurmountable odds.
