I LOVE how at the end of ep 17, he said "my girlfriend wants the photos" even tho they weren't in a relationship. In his heart, he already knew she liked him back, he was just waiting for her confession (i bet he already planned their whole wedding and the next 10 years in his head)
She went to Beiyu for work and was not able to come back on time for his birthday.
But it wasn't just any work? She went there for the people who were suffering because of the bridge that fell apart and he knew it too. And she confessed first even if it wasn't a full confession, he just came to answer.
She did. She just wasn't emotionally available for a relationship and she knew Sang Yan deserved someone to love him like he did love her, she wasn't that person who could give him that love to him at that time so she just repressed her feelings. Because when you are in depression and in a state that is so hard for you both physically and emotionally, you can just not be in love with someone without second thoughts. That's why in ep 16, she said "i want to be in love with him" because she never experienced AND acknowledged that even if tho loved him back then.
I still feel betrayed by the ending of episode 8 because i feel like that timeline was left incompleted... And I will never move on from the fact that Sol reseted the timeline and erased herself from not only Sunjae's but also her friends 😠That vacation by the ocean was too lovely to be erased from any of their memories... The most selfless character award goes to Sol.
You wouldn't expect a show named MR. PLANKTON make you cry, right? BUT IT MADE ME CRY SO MUCH.
I haven't even finished it yet, but considering the very first scene of the show and foreshadowing, the ending will be a tough one but it is not even the biggest part of my misery. I am just sad about the whole story of Jaemi and Haejo. They are just so... Tragically (and scarily) beautiful. Or it was just their characters that had such an emotional dynamic for me? I haven't decided yet. Two deeply traumatized people who represent the deep exploration of low self-worth, shared loneliness, and the search for belonging, redemption and love. Nobody's son, nobody's daughter. One wants to break the generational trauma and be a good parent to the child she birthes, the other doesn't believe the idea of breaking the wheel. One has an early menopause which represents the loss of a chance to have the thing she wants the most in her life-a family and ALSO the unbearable pressure of cultural expectations for women to conform the traditional and conventional standards. The other questions her acceptance of social norms -even in the lives of the people who are supposed to love her uncoventionally- encouraging her to experience the life beyond expectations and just run till the end without thinking about the destination. One constantly rejects the existence of the other because it is the only thing she is capable of to maintain control in a life that trapped and made her suffer since her birth, the other just "wants to have fun" during the journey to the sweet death.
And the fact that her illness was also metaphor for his final breakdown... This show was so great actually. It was never a "romcom" when you think about it. Jami and and Haejo's story was not merely a romance that ended tragically. It was a dynamic to show how complex, twisted and sometimes fucked up human relationships can be and how it can influence their moralities and the "love" they shared.
Anyway you will see me coming here to cry tonight because only one episode is left...
