this drama better win some award cuz episode six was just peak everything: storytelling, cinematography, sound design, dialogue
literally deserves a full length breakdown on the nuances of so many interactions that happened in this ep (Da Hae and the dad, I Na and Da Hae, Da Hae's "uncle", even just the final short exchange between Da Hae and Gwi Joo's mom). I'm not even gonna talk about the interactions between the two leads cuz my heart broke at every single one and WE'RE NOT EVEN IN ROMANCE TERRITORY YET 😭 I am losing my mind thinking of how it'll be when (if?) we even get to that.

“The fact that you're alive is what keeps me going. You being alive gives me hope I'll save you one day.”

you can't make this up I'm sobbing 😭

she's just a girl in the world

it's not, I think they got it from one of the webtoons it's adapted from because it is a mix of the two stories

someone animate this interaction cuz I'd kill to see it

they're not so far, but they'll increase for sure in the coming episodes

he's so fine it's almost criminal

MOTHER

fave character honestly
she's completely unpredictable

NGL I really wanted more 7 and 8 interactions cuz they were both so well matched intellectually and her insanity complemented his logic and reasoning so well.

she's such a baby girl I love her, she knows she's at a disadvantage here but never stops fighting like you go girl, run away in your high heels to avoid confronting the man you wanted to chase after you in the first place lmao

yesss, being lonely in your formative years sucks because you end up deprived of affection and not considering yourself worthy of it unless you're giving something in return

I'd pay to have them recreate the Spiderman meme with multiple Gwi Joos pointing at each other xD

so real, I sometimes find myself on the verge of falling into a similar people pleasing pattern (despite being like 10 years older than her) and have to remind myself to stop. I Na is relatable AF.

I wanna hug her so bad this baby T-T the way she cried like a broken child

so, I'm writing this as someone who studied filmmaking, but every single frame of a medium is supposed to have intention behind it. whether it is through the framing of the camera, multiple angles, music, filters and most importantly, the performance of the subjects. If the viewer is objective they will feel exactly how the director intended for them to feel.

if you watch the scene again, there's very few beats, and everything is very static and detached. heck, just as the kiss gets deeper, they plaster the big yellow show credits all over it, cutting it abruptly short. this is to imply as obviously as possible, that this kiss was not romantic in nature.

omg thank you for sharing, I'm also on the ace spectrum but demiromantic. But yes, the amount of times I've seen such insane comments is crazy and it irks me to no end.

CHUN WOO HEE THE WOMAN YOU ARE!!!

also loved the very meta post credits scene

people's obsession with (implied) virginity will never stop being uncomfortable to me but it's also hilarious AF like surely, you can't expect this grown ass man (or anyone for that matter) to have lived a life of abstinence.

you're spot on actually. I'd say kdramas definitely have it the worst.
