how does it romanticize abuse? hyuk woo isn't a bully anymore
so moon equally "beat" hyuk woo "to death like 100 times." they got even. i ship the hyuk woo who changed with so moon. the ex-bully who apologized and meant it. isn't it abusive that you're using his past against him? so moon forgave him. why wouldn't i?
let me put it this way. i'm not romanticizing abuse. i'm seeing bullying for what it is, an unhealthy coping mechanism, and promoting sympathy toward ex-bullies who repented and became better people. a look at bullying points to problems at home and school. hyuk woo wasn't treated as a person. he got pushed around and learnt to behave the same way in his relationships with his peers. so moon read his memories and saw that. he saw little hyuk woo, a mistreated, bullied child whose traumatic stress lasted well beyond his childhood. he was bullied by his "family" and fake "friends." bullying helped him feel in control of the situation when everything else was falling apart. so moon's heart broke for him. he gave hyuk woo some of his love; by defending him from bullies, putting his head on his shoulder, carrying him to his bed, introducing him to his "grandparents," sharing a meal, inviting him over to his place, etc. he accepted hyuk woo for all he was despite his flaws. and hyuk woo was moved by that love
his personality wasn't set in stone. hyuk woo stepped outside his comfort zone and began to change, grow and transform for so moon. that's true love. so moon's love has already had a profound, therapeutic effect on hyuk woo. i want so moon to love hyuk woo more. to hold him, to connect with him emotionally and physically, to re-wire his mind and body back to the natural state of intimacy. this ship gives hyuk woo a second opportunity to demonstrate his self-growth/character development
please don't tell me who to ship or not to ship, k? thanks
My honest review about this drama. The first episode was so good so i expect what come next to be as exceptional.…
what's wrong with feeling guilty and coming clean? shouldn't a guilty person feel guilty? there's more dong joo could have done, but he let the guilt remind him to do better next time. he called into question his actions and confessed on national tv. he was healing, rediscovering himself and starting over. that was brave of him to do
miraculous brothers isn't centered around "constant aggression, selfblame and a lot of nonsenical dispute." it's a crime drama illustrating the ways rich crime offenders depend on the silence and secrecy of co-offenders, survivors and bystanders
rich people shield their criminal activities through corruption, intimidation, communication in codes, media manipulation, and the use of lawyers. the court is a haven of refuge, not for poor people like dong joo, kang san and kai/ha neul, but for rich people like taekang group who do exceptionally well on their own
compared to the overrated, overdramatized "horny" or "romantic" dramas that rely heavily on appearances, nudity, misunderstandings, skewed power dynamics and lies like "relationships are magic and fix everything" to grab horny eye balls, miraculous brothers is a 9+/10
S2 ending lika a ML will leave UC team and hana will realise her new feeling in end?? 😅😅 Is it spoiler??
what do you mean? 😅 so moon didn't leave the team. what i understood from the teasers was that so moon fell into a fake coma and ha na entered his subconscious mind to restore his deleted memories. that's her job. the downside of this was so moon reliving the season 1 traumatic experiences he recovered from. if the drama follows the webtoon closely (gelly erasing so moon's memories was in the webtoon), so moon will regain consciousness with his powers intact
People can have their own opinions and mine is that it is still pretty good! Of course, some parts will feel like…
mine is that season 2 is better than season 1. it models a more positive family dynamic that thrives on mutual understanding, respect and care. when so moon walks, the other counters walk with him. where he goes, they are with him always. they fought for so moon in season 1. in return, so moon cherishes and fights for them this season
i guess you COULD say that webtoon ju seok and counters were strangers but in the webtoon, ju seok saved ha na…
hey there, army!
they didn't know each other well, and ha na didn't remember ju seok. ju seok parted ways with ha na and her brother afterwards. he was a kind stranger? rescuing two semi-conscious children trapped in a car doesn't make him an acquaintance or friend 😅😂
There are somethings that really bugs me in this season:1. Villains jump to conclusions a lot, and for some reason…
i will respond to your second question!
this is a supernatural story. in a supernatural story, memories could be the spiritual essence of a person. that includes their identity. the identity of a person/counter would be altered by severe memory loss and they would cease to be a person/counter
that's my guess. you'd have to ask the webtoon writer why memories and powers are connected! the drama didn't pull it out of the air. it's in the webtoon
by the way, webtoon so moon didn't permanently cease to be a counter. it was temporary
That works on a streaming platform like Netflix/Hulu but because it airs on broadcast tv in SK (TVN), levels of…
both should be edited/toned down for teen audiences
editing/toning down one and not the other is okay, too. just because someone watches on-screen "violence," doesn't mean they should watch on-screen "sex/kissing/intimacy/sexiness." we don't tell the people who like chocolate* ice cream that they should like mint* chocolate chip ice cream or they are hypocrites, do we? just because someone likes chocolate, doesn't mean they should like mint or mint flavored chocolate. it's the same thing
I'm only here because of Jeok Bong (Yoo In Soo). I was happy that they provided Jeok Bong a rather charming country-boy…
i'm here for ms. chu, so moon and jeok bong. i felt a little down today and jeok bong's frenetic energy and uncanny knack for humor helped me. other people don't find him funny, but i do
the drama strayed so far from the webtoon* that i assumed the webtoon was used as a launching pad to deliver a new, better story. it set its own course. what a pity that gelly erased so moon's memories, like the webtoon. so moon will relive his traumatic experiences and that's not okay
now that it's come to this, the drama should continue to be a faithful adaptation. then so moon will wrestle his demons, retrieve his lost memories and wake up from the fake coma stronger than before. webtoon so moon is a winner, a warrior. he defies the odds by surviving the most gruesome battles. the only walls were those placed in his mind by his lost memories. that's what i want to see here
*if you're wondering what changed, webtoon wi gen was an ethnically german woman. she had a daughter. webtoon jeok bong wasn't a farmer boy. he was an aspiring singer with no backstory. there was no lim jae yeol. webtoon counters summoned webtoon pil kwang and webtoon wong yeok earlier. there was no pil kwang when webtoon gelly erased webtoon so moon's memories. webtoon counters and webtoon ju seok were strangers. webtoon ju seok had no backstory. we knew he lost his partner and daughter, and ... that was it
the drama did a better job of developing the characters
So I think that Somun will discovers his powers again when someone in the crew gets killed, probably Motak or…
they are staying true to the webtoon. gelly erasing so moon's memories in the hallway? that was season 2, chapter 32. this means so moon will/should recover his memories, wake up from the fake coma and bounce back stronger than ever before. webtoon so moon and the yung territory became one. he didn't need to summon the territory or the spirits. the territory flowed through his body like blood
wi gen: just as yung is a doorway that connects the human world and the afterlife, so moon is yung itself (season 2, chapter 45)
i'm blocking now, bye!

it doesn't deserve a 7.8. it deserves a 9+ rating
they didn't know each other well, and ha na didn't remember ju seok. ju seok parted ways with ha na and her brother afterwards. he was a kind stranger? rescuing two semi-conscious children trapped in a car doesn't make him an acquaintance or friend 😅😂
she said 정신 차려, which means "get your shit together" or "wake up." it was said out of sisterly concern. everyone else was as worried about so moon

we didn't lose any of the counters in the webtoon
