actually until the end i had this crazy theory that they would either go the Romeo&Juliet way and Jaewon would…
what bothered me probably the most was that his mental state just wasn't showcased well. i mean, i don't mean showing him having breakdowns, harming himself etc (tho ngl it would make the experience somehow better, or like... i mean i would be able to relate more to him if they showed what it's really like to struggle with depression) - the deleted scene hit very hard and it felt very good
it's still not clear to me what exactly made him change his mind and go after jihyun other than just someone telling him to do so, i don't even remember, all i remember is him just randomly being all happy, jumping down the stairs like he just experienced epiphany or whatever. the change was just too drastic too suddenly, rather than jaewon doing better thanks to jihyun's presence it looked more like jaewon has made up his mind to unalive himself and that's what put him at ease :))) someone please end me, this is what you get when you turn on a depressed brain to analyse a depressed character :D
by the way, about the therapist, i saw some people say that she was pushing jaewon too much, but from my perspective she spoke the way she did because she knew what works on jaewon best, or at least when she started being aggressive in a way, her words spoke to me personally, like that's what i needed to hear so idk
working follow-up comment for my THE EIGHTH SENSE comment because according to MDL i reached the character limit…
actually until the end i had this crazy theory that they would either go the Romeo&Juliet way and Jaewon would just unalive himself with that 3 weeks' worth of pills (when he asked for those, i had another anxiety stroke) thinking that Jihyun d-worded too, OR that they would go full-on mental and it would turn out Jihyun was just an illusion :)))) this is the vibes I was getting from Jaewon so like XD lmao
jihyun clinging to jaewon's shoulder while he talked with joonpyo was my favorite scene, the way the conversation just went on with jihyun's cheek glued to jaewon's shoulder jsbchsdvchgdghv iconic, best dynamics ever
also i absolutely loved that scene when despite feeling low as shit, jaewon still cared about yoonwon like he was so caring towards her and was like "don't worry, it's gonna be okay" as if he didn't need someone to tell him that as well T-T
and i find it absolutely insane that Juntaek was street-cast, he's so good???? god bless whoever found him
