Title Why R U? Spoiler
so, my brain might just be stupid or I missed something, but I'm a bit confused...was fighter really under the…
Basically Fighter really wants Tutor, but at the same time he does not want to pressure Tutor into doing something he is not ready to do.
In the scene of their first time Fighter says "Kissing is enough" not "Can I kiss you" which more or less means: I can wait, I want it but if you need more time, I can wait.
How I see it: Fighter is a bit scared of how much he likes and wants Tutor and he is afraid of losing control over his own emotions and actions. That's why when they stand on that pier he says he's okay with doing it once, but if Tutor wants 2nd round he is more than happy to comply. Aka he is ready to wait until Tutor thinks it's a right time to do it again. He promises he won't pressure Tutor into doing it again. So Tutor saying "It's me breaking the promise, not you" is basically him saying: I am ready, this is what I want. You are not doing anything wrong.
I found it amazingly refreshing tbh. They don't go "we did it once so doing it again is not a big deal" way.
Long story short: Fighter is not saying "I don't mind it being just one night stand" he is saying "I'm willing to wait until you are ready to do it again".

Kate I just read some BL subbers tweeting that Figther and Tutor's conversation during episode 4 had some mistranslated…
okay the first mistranslation is HUGE! And it changes a bit of the meaning behind his action.
But the 2nd omg... like... listen... this shit... wow ain't PG13 hahahaha
Thank you sooooo much for letting me know :)

Title 2gether
I dont really think that they are seeing Win as second class, though? This is his acting debut, of course he has…
You said exactly what I wanted to say. It;s obvious they will promote the show with more well known actor, aka Bright. Comparing ig following of an actor who has been in many projects to an actor who's literally on his first project is quite ridiculous way of "measuring bias" for me.

Title A Piece of Your Mind Spoiler
IW is such a downer . JS obviously had depression. He shouldve reached out to her more. Its just sad & messed…
I would agree she had less will to survive than a not depressed person would, but I wouldn't go as far as suicide or that she planned to do it that day since there wasn't anything indicating it strongly enough. So yeah, I just thought the word suicide is too strong. At the end of the day, it was an accident...

when she went to the grave it was not snowing. It caught her by surprised as she was coming back. She remembered the wooden place so she thought it would be better to hide there (smart). I assume she tried to call for help with phone but could not get the signal. She was extremely surprised she was able to call Seo Woo. In a situation like hers people usually don't exactly think rationally.

As far as I see Kang In Wook looked depressed too. And she didn't commit suicide, she died in an accident. Something happened in the past that might have resulted in Ha Won's mother death (?) and it involved Ji Soo's husband. She went to Norway to apologize (for whatever happened). I'd day all main cast have depression or depressive moods.

Title Why R U?
I've been waiting for your deep analysis...I was afraid you had dropped this!
posted it. It;s not as deep as it was previously, since we already know a lot about the characters. It was rather putting the scene and how it went taking into consideration what happened in the show so far :D

Title Why R U? Spoiler
MY LOVELY PEOPLE
welcome to another session of: Kate over-analyzing shit coz she is stupid, but it's also kind of interesting so whatever. Let's dive into bedroom scene in episode 9. And all you thirsty people calm down (lol), I will keep it PG13 and be focusing on the emotional aspects I saw in it (especially the few lines that were delivered).

So let's quickly rehash at what point of FighTor relationship we are before the scene happens: Fighter finally accepted his feelings for Tutor. Tutor is happy. They decide to see how it goes for a few days on that beach trip. They are all fluff and hearts in the eyes. Then we have THE scene. I won't be talking about the whole scene coz ain't nobody have time for it. I will focus on just few moments that caught my attention the most.

The whole beginning of the scene is a nice set up for Fighter: he is checking on Tutor all the time: is it's okay, if he can continue, if he didn't do anything wrong. He pauses and makes sure that it's something Tutor wants too. If he can truly go with it. He no more confused ass, he evolved into unsure ass.

"Can I kiss you" DAMN! Listen, when I first watched the scene I was like "you dumb asshole, you literally been kissing him all over the body" but when I thought about it a bit more and it made so much sense that he would ask! He wants to kiss Tutor so much, but he is scared of how much he wants it. He is still unsure if this is okay. He is asking Tutor if he can continue. His voice is so soft here, almost pleading. Can I really do it? He had feelings for Tutor for over two years, now he is finally with him, and yet he still feels like he should ask if it's okay. I love it. Coz they made it seem like after the confession scene Fighter is all ready to commit and it's Tutor being unsure and more reserved, but in these more intimate scene we can see that Fighter is still his old confused ass, coz people don't just magically change who they are. And it's not easy to accept your feelings, especially when you feel like you cannot control yourself. It's simply scary. It scares Fighter how much he loves Tutor. That's why he always ask Tutor, because he needs confirmation that it's okay.

And then... he runs away. And I love it! How much I love his unsure ass. How scared he is of not being able to control himself. But Tutor has none of it and goes for the kiss. And I appreciate so much what he says then: "You make me yearn for it, then you leave". Fighter does not just tease Tutor to see how much Tutor wants him this time. He runs away coz he is scared of his own feelings and how strong they are. And with Tutor saying that Fighter actions make him want it too, it calms Fighter down emotionally: he wants it to, it's not just me going crazy for this boy, he wants it to. It's okay to have this moment. It's okay to go forward. Tutor is far more emotionally mature. I said it from the beginning, that Tutor was sure of his feelings for Fighter, but was not sure about Fighter's feelings for him. But now that he can see Fighter loves him, he is willing to risk it and take that step forward and guide Fighter. Coz that's how I see it, Tutor is emotionally guiding Fighter, who most likely never was in a serious relationship.
That said, damn I didn't like Tutor's acting while delivering the whole "I already know what you brought" line. It was too "I'm seducing you" and not enough "I'm comforting you". That said, he follows at the end with this "hm?" and I found it fitting so much. Like, this one sound brought the tension down. But I could tell these were two different takes, so maybe they were focusing on a different emotions in the two of them?
Anyway, what I want to say, with this scene we yet again can see the whole dynamic of the couple: Tutor is the leading one while Fighter is following him. After all they've been through, the confession, obvious love Tutor has for him, Fighter still asks himself if that's okay.

And well... Tutor giving him a green light was the breaking point.

BUT THEN! He asks AGAIN! "Are you ready, Tor?" Coz he just has to make sure over and over and over again. That this is okay, this is what Tutor wants. It's not just him wanting this to happen, it's both of them. And then again "Ready, Tor." and waits till Tutor "approves" and he only reacts after Tutor says "Come closer to me". Coz from the beginning it was always Tutor in control.

That's all I have to say. I will most likely never rewatch this scene again. This rewatch made me pick up some details that made the scene far too real for me to be comfortable to watch it again (if you curious what they were, I can tell, but damn it might be too much of an info lol). I hope both Saint and Zee knew about this scene and how it will be shot before they agreed to be part of this project and they were fully aware what they are getting themselves into. Coz it was intense. And with any other media I would not care coz it;s easier for the actor to move on from the project and the characters they are playing, but with fan service in BLs, the actors are expected to at least partially stay in the character for the promotion period or even longer if the ship is well loved. And this can affect a person.

I mean, listen, FighTor is life, but this show is a mess. I rest my case. I will be crying in confusion when it comes to rating it.

Same! One of my faves. I was happy that this one had a really good written story! :) You are right about the poster…
I was looking for some BL dramas to watch and saw the poster of this and was like: DETECTIVE/CRIME DRIVEN BL?! SIGN ME UP! Well... how wrong I was hahaha still, I liked it quite a lot :)
Also, you totally do not need to check my reviews lol

I have a special place in my heart for this drama for many reasons. It hits all the right spots as you watch it. And I agree it was quite realistic and the characters were awesome! :)
Neaa Mar 11, 2020
Teach me how to write short but good reviews coz this was short, straight to the point but good!
Also I agree with the casting so much! Everyone aced their role, and this drama would probably be such a flop with Joo Hyuk and suzy...
Replying to Tine Mar 11, 2020
I thought the same. They (Pharm) cried a little too much. If they cry in EVERY episode it doesn't reach my heart…
He did awesome job crying, but too much is too much. Like all the 3 facial expressions were spot on, but... not enough diversity for me, you know hahaha

I truly adored how chill, relaxing and not dramatic this drama was. They didn't use the typical drama tropes that no one likes and made it simple and sweet. And that's exactly the charm it had :)

I love fantasy stories, I just don't understand why they always make the fantasy character meet the other when they were kids hahah It freaks me about a bit.
I think I hyped myself way too much for this drama, that's why I didn't enjoy it as much as you did. But the casting was truly perfection :)

I totally agree. I feel like the mystery was well written so it was hard to predict. It was also build on interesting characters :)
I know many people complain about Go Ah Ra's acting, but I actually really like her, especially this role was good for her :)

Kate, you are not confused at all. :) Everything you said seems spot on. Thanks for writing it down.
If my laptop did not combust to flames with all the kissing scenes between Zee and Tutor in Why R U, nothing can kill it hahaha
I'm pretty sure 2gether will have more of a sweet, melting your heart kisses, rather the one that will you feel like you might be dying in flames as you watch it lol Both Bright and Win said that the series is rather sweet and lighthearted
