achiara

both boys were tortured in different ways by their family and circumstances, why are we pitting them against each other? come on now!!

yeah i also believe that is the intended effect, it's not supposed to cause any butterflies or bring real comfort, it feels like it was only there to show how vulnerable pio was in that moment and wasn't genuinely into it

i do hope for pio to know and confront whoever caused his life and jeong-yo's to be this miserable but i don't want jae-in to be that person, poor girl is getting enough hate as it is

i also don't want the show to go that route but the only thing i can think of in case they do is that pio's mom and jeong-yo's mom knew each other and maybe there was a love triangle with the piano teacher (all three of them are artists and could have been in the same circles/schools). pio's mom isn't the sanest person around, we don't know what she could have done upon seeing her rival's son steeling the spotlight from her precious son

i have similar thoughts. unless the show pulls the blood-related card on us, it's not unreasonable to consider the drama queercoded, because while it's not explicitly marketing itself as romance it's also keeping itself open to that kind of interpretation. pio and jeong-yo's bond is undoubtedly special and strong. whether you see it as platonic or romantic, canon is such that it doesn't contradict any of these interpretations and i'm personally ok with it

on my rewatch and in these last episodes pio is giving sickly victorian child it's kinda funny lol

well pio does have mental issues for sure tho i don't think the show will go as far as to make him schizophrenic. some readings of pi-o's character (was it here or on twt i'm not sure sorry) say he might be inspired in some aspects by salieri who suffered and struggled a lot with his mental health

yeah i'm rewatching as well, on episode 3 now

i tried watching something else but i just can't focus lol can saturday come faster? 😭

i say it would be cruel too but i also don't mind the possibility of jeong-yo turning a little cold, i lowkey wanna see a begging kneeling sobbing repenting pi-o at his feet lol 😅

i can't imagine jeong-yo hating on pi-o or his music even if the amnesia is real, it doesn't seem to be in his nature. besides it would be painful if pi-o was denied by jeong-yo like his grandfather did all his life, that would break him even more

it says that pi-o has been going through a slump and since his less-than-perfect performance his career has been kind of suffering and under criticism, then came an unexpected offer for a special collaboration. fans are now thinking it's an offer from jeong-yo and this will revive pi-o and help him find his spark again

i saw a written preview for ep7 (not sure if ot's true or the just the korean side of fandom speculating)

i started this show not caring much about the discourse, i just want a well written story but at this point i can't blame the jeongpio shippers. it's hard not to read this as pi-o, under all that guilt, being also just lovesick

i feel like i'm gonna start hallucinating too like pi-o from the desperate wait for the new episodes lol why is the weekend still so far 😭

so what do we do now? do we rewatch the 6 episodes on loop until saturday? 😭

hm when you know you did something wrong, even if the entire world forgets about it, you don't because /you/ know and you carry that guilt your entire life unless you right the wrong or at least repent and ask for forgiveness, and that's what pi-o is dealing with. he can't just go "oh so jeong-yo forgot? hahah ok let's move on", things do not work that way. another thing is i'm seeing people being so sure jeong-yo is happy and living his best life, but we're only basing that on a mere preview. we don't really know what he's feeling inside. like yeah he's a successful conductor now for sure but that doesn't mean he doesn't carry wounds in his heart. just like outsiders might think pi-o is happy and living his best life based on his successful career but we know best how miserable he is, we are also now outsiders to jeong-yo and we don't know much about him now so let's just wait and see how jeong-yo has been feeling before drawing conclusions

i probably didn't use the right words but yes i agree, she could be the one who helped jeong-yo, she does have the money and connections and we already saw how she helped him before

i agree. her relationship with pi-o was decent considering how messed up that family is and i think they could have been even closer but i'm sure pi'o's mother and her hatred made that impossible to happen

yeah i don't necessarily mean she's evil but that she intervened in some way and your idea/theory is actually one i'd like to see confirmed. i always liked her and thought she was the only responsible adult around the boys so that would make sense
