I personally never doubted Yoo Han had good intentions, its very clear in the trailer. Sure he's a bit more forceful…
For sure Usagi! At first I was doubting people and rooting for Yoo Han but episode 2 made me question things until episode 3 with the prism scene. It had way more meaning packed into those lines that I thought. It took me 2 watches to really understand what Yoo Han was really saying when he said "it's all yours" and then I understood he meant himself. I personally feel that Yoo Han wants to reassure Yeonwoo that he's not like other Mono's since Yeonwoo's fear of becoming a monster like the media portrays monos to be as seems to be weighing so heavily on the both of them. The symbolism of the Mantis in episode 2 really hit it home for me and made me realize even before it was confirmed in today's episode that Yeonwoo is trying to PROTECT Yoo Han from himself. Especially when Yeonwoo was thinking "why aren't you running away from me idiot." I honestly feel so strongly for both characters; on one hand Yeonwoo wants to see colors now that he's gotten a taste but is desperately trying to restrain himself so that he doesn't hurt Yoo Han and himself (by becoming a monster and becoming obsessed), but at the same time Yoo han is trying to make Yeonwoo see him as more than just a tool and perhaps have him love him as a person. This show is brilliant and I'm DYING for tomorrow's episode <3 :3
I made an account JUST TO POST ABOUT THIS DRAMA. It is beautiful! I love it. The tension between the leads, the story and OST is fantastic. I've watched my fair share of BL and this has got to be one of top for Korea, after "Where your eyes linger".
This post is gonna be long so please bare with me since I'd love to talk about this show since I'm obsessed with it <3
I've seen a ton of people call Yoo Han a sociopath or psychopath for teasing and manipulating Choi Yeonwoo and at first I was confused and questioning it myself, but my opinion changed after this episode. I think there's way more going on than we think. Yeah sure manipulating someone isn't normal but I think Yoo Han has a reason for it. The first meeting between them Yoo Han said "I'm a probe aren't I?" and I think that him being a probe is weighing heavily on him. I think he feels just as dependent on Yeonwoo as Yeonwoo is towards Yoo Han. We know that the obsession Mono's feel towards probes is because of their fear of loosing their ability to see colors and that their bond is mostly one-sided for Monos, but what about the probe? Most of them don't benefit from meeting their mono however if we take a closer look at the rainbow scene we can see there's a double meaning to what's being said. When Yeonwoo is asking "Can I touch it?" and Yoo han responds with "Me?" I was obviously squealing over the sexual tension and meaning, but after my initial fangirling, I watched episode 3 two more times and noticed that maybe Yeonwoo means "himself" as a person, not just sexually. Maybe Yeonwoo has touched him emotionally since he might be just as alone as Yeonwoo is. Also Yeonwoo was referring to the "rainbow" itself while Yoo han was referring to himself. The rainbow is full of colors and Probes allow colors to be seen so MAYBE he was referring to himself being a probe and being MORE than just a probe. Maybe he likes the co-dependency of their relationship and having someone rely on him. Also the scene when they first enter the science class when Yeonwoo is scared and says "I'm just nervous around you." and Yoo Han asks "Because I'm a probe?" really made me think about this. He's defined as a probe and maybe Yoo han wants to be MORE to Yeonwoo than just a tool for him to use to see colors. From the start Yoo han has been constantly saying "I'm your probe and it's because I'm your probe." In all of their interactions Yoo Han is constantly questioning and testing Yeonwoo. Maybe he wants something more?
Those are just my thoughts, but there's some questionable scenes in the trailer that makes me freak out about monos kidnapping and possibly Yeonwoo kidnapping YooHan but I don't think it will be him exactly doing the kidnapping. In this episode we see another criminal case of a husband and wife and mono crimes, however his aunt confirmed that this time it wasn't a mono crime against a probe. This might be me stretching things, but in the trailer and other promo videos we see a quick hospital scene when Yeonwoo is there and Yoo han sneaks in. Maybe he is taken there forcibly to get away from Yoo han after getting hurt? Not to mention how it's weird that someone is kidnapping monos as seen in episode 1. Maybe a probe is kidnapping them in fear? Maybe a probe is tormenting all the kidnapped monos just like his mom disappearing in fear of hate crimes against probes? All these are theories but I'd love to hear what you guys think!
