A memory, far away, still pure. That's how Seven Days always made me feel. Years after, I'm no longer the same person I was when I first read it. I'm older now. But always, when I revisit it, in all of its forms, I'll remember those days that felt they would last forever. No matter what, those two will always be there, as young as they were the first day I met them.
Isn't it more about the translation? Japanese and Korean both use different ways of saying "I love you", but sometimes…
Well, that’s because they’re saying both “I like you” and “I love you.” The word “suki” 好き (like) is commonly used to express your feelings. It, of course, means to like, and is sometimes translated into various degrees (I like you, I really like you, I love you), depending on the… context? Japanese very rarely express the words “I love you” 愛してる (aishiteru). Miyata and Iwanaga say it to each other in the bed scene in episode 4. Before that they had been using “suki”, but in that moment they use “aishiteru.” It really amplifies to what extent of emotion they wanted to express to each other (how much Iwanaga wants to convince Miyata he really does adore him). “Aishiteru” is more serious than just saying “suki.” As for Korean… I have no idea! LOL.
God I love Miyata as a character. I agree with the other comments, he’s so refreshing. And also incredibly charming… no wonder Iwanaga fell in love with him. There’s that special mischievous glint in his eye, triumphant over his shy high school self.
I have been thinking about the last episode a lot.. I was daydreaming in class earlier lololol Miyata and Iwanaga are both unique characters, and I'm becoming increasingly more attached to them.
Miyata isn't afraid to say what he wants, but at the same time he is. It sounds contradictory, but it's one of the most comfortingly human aspects about him. Things that matter to him are notably important, and it takes him slightly longer to muster the courage. Iwanaga, of course, is (to a point) disconnected from reality. I'm not entirely sure he's fully aware of his effects on others as a person. He said himself that he was swayed to sleep with Shiraishi purely because of the boy's desperation. Surely someone who folds at this surmount of emotion looks at the world in an abstract perspective.
And that's what I love. Miyata is confident yet stubborn, and still frightened of his attraction to Iwanaga. He's been holding out and trying to be normal. The only person who made him feel normal, in his eyes, played a cruel childish joke back in high school. Iwanaga is strange, brainless, and straightforward. He's swayed easily by the emotion of others; he apologizes for his actions that don't need apologizing.
(Can you tell I love Iwanaga as a character??? lol. There's so much more to him after your first impression...)
This might be the first time where there was no "freak out" or intense questioning of "is he going to attack me in my sleep?!?!" when they ended up having to sleep in the same room. It proceeded normally (of course you would be a little nervous, who wouldn't... I would...).
I applaud this series for its genuine emotion and display of love, and adults that don't instantly lose all relation of their younger selves. Of course they've grown up, but something so detrimental will never leave them.
