mr. bang: "i don't have a right to avenge da mi. hwi so has that right. tell him i'm thankful he raised my granddaughter" lee hwi so: "take good care of mr. bang. i'm indebted to him. tell him i'm ready to become a monster"
it's confirmed that matthew lee is post-op lee hwi so. surgeons performed reconstructive procedures on hwi so's face to enhance his appearance, and hide his identity
hwi so (matthew) was a professor. he's smart, and his patience is his power. it's the timing. he waited 5 years on the right time to act, for the right principles, and in the right way. he needed to recover
mr. bang (da mi's grandfather) has hwi so's back, financially and emotionally. he made mistakes and learned from them. the crime of others is that they didn't learn. they bristle with and have a prideful ferocious appetite for their lies. they don't so much seek to be admirable as to be admired. they derive self-esteem from the turned heads, celebrity worship, and tokens of public success. they offer their fake beauty/appearances as a means of seducing others into thinking well of them, which in turn is a means of seducing themselves to think well of themselves
do hyuk helping and seducing mo ne was worse than the cgi. i almost dropped the drama. ra hee, joo ran, mo ne, jin mo, do hyuk, myung ji and chul woo shouldn't have escaped the island or survived. i would have buried their bodies, one atop the other
i'm not dropping this (yet). i trust that hwi so (matthew) will give the seven "a taste of the abyss*" (episode 5, 42:30)? wishing him the strength and perseverance to overcome the obstacles that might arise on his journey
*the abyss is a metaphorical reference to a place of confinement. it's the orifice of "hell" where "demons" dwell. the seven are "demons." hwi so (matthew) is the "god" of revenge/justice and technology. he has power over the seven "demons"
you took op's gay ship seriously. shipping is the desire by the audience for two or more people, real-life celebrities or fictional characters, to be in a relationship. ships don't have to agree with the canonically "straight" storylines
op ships the girls. did they ask why you don't? they didn't. you felt the need to answer a question they didn't ask
why do you care that i blocked you? our conversation was over
we didn't say we expect a gay romance? we said we ship the fictional characters, and wish they ended up together. you "shipped" two characters (nyeon yi and lee yoon) that weren't endgame. why can't we ship nyeon yi with hee shin?
nothing is set in stone in fiction. the "straight" storyline is imaginary. we can change the storyline, and the characters' preferences
people do worse than "expecting straight rom" to gay stories. didn't you read the comment section of e.g. "kill boksoon?" commenters insulted gay people, and the gay representation
the stories of gay people are actively erased. there are millions of "straight" stories and handful of gay ones. you can't expect us to not wish for a gay storyline somewhere. we are starving, okay?
you have your "straight" canon. we will have our gay headcannons and fanfictions
you don't know about headcannons and au fanfictions, do you? the audience can believe nyeon yi and hee shin are true endgame, even if no information supporting that belief is spelled out in canon. it's a gay storyline in alternate universes
"are you always a stuck-up little bitch, princess?" (episode 3, 17:10)
ho jung (nyeon yi) is a goddess of wisdom and battle. she's a put-together, powerful and commanding fighter who squashes men like a bug and oscillates between composure and panic in different situations, which, instead of making her inconsistent, increases her character complexity. she has a bossy voice. her confidence, independence, strategic mind, tenacity, and thirst for adventure—all traditionally masculine traits—are contagious. men respect her as an equal
i ship her with seo hyun (hee shin). their first interaction was ripe with conflict. the simmering rage could have morphed into a blistering chemistry after a series of flirty banter, shared kinship, and lingering stares. i'd have liked to see ho jung (nyeon yi) take care of her stuck-up little princess and redefine what love meant/means
People saying nail paint guy is dami's actual father haven't they seen the scene in which real father was a douchebag.In…
"Mathew Lee will be plastic surgery version of dami's adoptive father and he shall orchestrate revenge with grandfather 's money"
that's what i think! matthew lee is lee hwi so/da mi's adoptive father. he, da mi, da mi's adoptive mother, da mi's grandfather and ji ah are nice people. the rest are trash
"were the deities helping us?" "the universe is working in our favor"
these criminals are shameless. they defamed da mi and her adoptive father. they threw da mi's grandfather face first off a bridge and into water. they set da mi's house on fire. it's frustrating to watch them walk all over the few nice people. the grandfather is a nice person, yes. he knew he messed up and wanted to redeem himself. he's different from the seven shameless criminals. what's more frustrating is the society that questions a person's reputation, and believes their defamation without question
"deprive ra hee, joo ran, mo ne, jin mo, do hyuk, myung ji and chul woo of their human rights and sentence them to death penalty"
fixed it
matthew lee is da mi's adoptive father (lee hwi so) who underwent plastic surgery? he has hwi so's scar on his chest? whoever he is, he will send the seven shameless criminals to "hell"
He can't just be just a person who seeks justice when he is already a murderer. He is not the one to judge who…
dog mask is justice. society faces a problem with a bourgeoning number of crimes. the correct response is invariably to increase the criminal penalties associated with those crimes. is that what the government did? it wasn't. criminals received shorter sentences. someone had to do "what the government couldn't"
this should be on a t-shirt:

justice without execution/capital punishment is like playing hamlet without the ghost. it's inconsistent with the aspirations of equal justice and fairness
"self-imposed" justice is firmly grounded in traditional rationales for punishment. rationales that are uncontroversial in everyday contexts
as james q. wilson explained:
"People are governed in their daily lives by rewards and penalties of every sort. We shop for bargain prices; praise our children for good behavior and scold them for bad; expect lower interest rates to stimulate home building and fear that higher ones will depress it; and conduct ourselves in public in ways that lead our friends and neighbors to form good opinions of us"
the claim that "self-imposed justice doesn’t work" denies the plainest facts of everyday society. would-be criminals aren't different from the rest of us. we reward or punish each other. laws were made to reward or punish on our behalf. our justice has always been "self-imposed"
2) mo ne
3) joo ran
4) jin mo
5) chul woo
6) myung ji
7) do hyuk
i'll remove do hyuk from the list if it turns out he's helping hwi so (matthew)

when and where was that stated?
