I think that's a rather severe oversimplication. First of all, Wang has known In for a few days - so I don't think…
To me, he is the most tragic character. I would love to have him over for dinner.
I love to see what people can do when they feel accepted and safe.

well put!! this is one of those BL's that really caught me off guard with how good it is—I love that each of…
Me too! I’m stumped about how it will end and for once I’m content in the shows hands to tell me.
It’s such a masterpiece.

You have a great read on this imo. Especially about In.

My son and I would not be in this situation because he has always known that he is safe to be who he is with me, I spent a lot of time coaching him to have confidence in himself regardless of what others thought. He could shave his head, move across the world and marry a man twice his age and I would be A-OK with that as long as it was what made him happy. I am his biggest fan and he knows it.
Wang is a beautiful character, not because he is pretty, but because somehow, he has courage and fortitude when a lifetime of experience has taught him otherwise.

I don’t even know where to start with this.
Not too many people in the comments are hung up on whether or not this is BL. In fact, most seem to feel that 180 Degrees is it’s own thing.
We are ALL reading the foreshadowing, the dialogue and the body language. This isnt a delusion made in the uncultivated minds of people conditioned to expect a particular outcome.
But your comment is pretty revealing nevertheless.

I don’t view every female in a BL as a bitch. I hate it when they are but I don’t expect it. I approach most mom’s in BLs from a position of sympathy but some of them turn out to be gaslighting, homophobic hags.
Mol is an example of that.

I mean did we fast forward through all the relationship building that is going on between In and Wang when Mol isn’t around?
The tension we’ve all been suffering under isn’t solely because of eye contact, but the communication between them, both verbal and non.

Wang has been straight forward and compassionate yet curious from day one.
If there is anything I doubt it is that he is alive and not some ghost of a lonely boy sent to heal the broken people that shaped his life.

Besides primarily sympathizing with Mol, you also tend to want to vilify Wang, which I find interesting. And you have a hang up about the true age gap between actors.
I actually am a mother, of a son around Wang’s age. I sympathize with him tremendously. I have the perspective of a single mom whose single desire is for that child to be happy and to know with certainty that this is a COMMON maternal instinct.
Mol happens to be a mother but she is not one at the same time.

I’ve read your other posts and it’s clear you have a lot of empathy for Mol. And you keep accusing her critics of oversimplifying. She is not a complex character. Everything she does is loud and obvious. She is written this way to be a disrupter or an antagonist.
You are stretching beyond credulity to find much redeemable about her but I’m especially lost when you draw parallels between her and Wang. He is not “just as bad as her”. In one statement you justify the things she does and in the next you say “but what about Wang? He’s just as bad”. If you have a defense for her, let it stand in its own. Trying to justify her behavior by drawing super thin connector lines to others behavior is fallacious reasoning.
Down the rabbit hole
Mol is a symbol of our society and the traditions we worship. Serving nothing but itself, it subjects this insurmountable pressure on all within its sphere of influence to subjugate, to honor, to worship and play the game.

In is our true hidden self, who we wish to be and how we wish to live but always muffled or overpowered by the compulsion to honor, be obedient and show filial piety. So we die lonely and miserable under the yoke of living a facade or we run away and live in exile.

Then their is Wang, the spark of hope who is also that fateful red string that extends from one pole to the other. Yearning and alone, a romantic notion personified and with clear insight to how both forces are living incomplete lives.

This show is breaking my heart.
