You shouldn't say you want to know why we, in Africa, think it was problematic if you're just going to ignore everything we say and tag us as overdramatic.

I'm really trying to understand your point but I'm struggling because I don't think the show has said male characters only feel pain when something traumatic happens to their loved ones? There's literally one male character who internalizes and feels everything connected to every case they've had from the beginning even when he doesn't know the people involved. Also, ep 10 would've been extremely weird if they had glossed over the impact of the assault on the victim's twin brother just because he's a man.

Using trauma women have gone through as catalysts for men to have character growth is a real problematic trope in cinema, but I didn't see that in this episode. I have my issues with this show, but I don't think this is something they did especially not here. The case was tough for all of them for different reasons but they focused on Ryung Goo because they're about to tell more of his story.

I must also commend all the actors for their work on this show. They delivered beautifully, even our most hated characters.

I knew how this show would end but it still took me some time to watch the final episode. The signs were all there from many episodes ago that Tofu would complete his mission and go back to being Nut's favourite emotional support teddy bear. I saw that coming but it still hurt a lot to watch his demise and see the pain Nut went through losing yet another person he loved. I'm okay with the end though because it's consistent with Tofu as a character.

As for him staying with Nut as a bear, while some may see it as cruel, I'm choosing to look at it from Tofu's pov - he gets to witness the person he loves the most actually be happy and live out his dreams finally. Before the miracle, Nut was all pain, rage and tears, but now Tofu gets to be with him while he's actually happy and filled with joy. I wondered about the editing because I couldn't tell how much time had passed after Tofu left, but I've read that there were many cut scenes that could've explained all that.

Overall, I really loved this drama. I will watch it again, but not right away cos I'm still in tears and will be for quite some time.

Oh! I was also really happy that Phrippri got a happy ending too and extra points for it being a gl pairing.

I really look forward to never watching anything done by this writer ever again. What a mess 😂

This writer is an absolute menace. I don't even know how this is going to end any more 😂

Kim Woo Seok stole the whole show in the end. I think he gave the best performance as Noh Tae Nam and I look forward to seeing him elsewhere.

I swear sometimes it feels like the director and the editor quit halfway through the show and they got some interns to finish the job cos this show is a whole mess. I'm not gonna speculate about DM calling his ex one week before his wedding cos it's obvious that the writer just doesn't know what else to do and feels like there simply must be MORE DRAMA.

Meanwhile BHR being possessed is truly some of the most unhinged writing I've seen in a show in quite some time. Her inlaws debating whether to get the spirit out of her is always disgusting to watch because she's being violated everyday while they relax because they have the family they always wanted. I can't stand them.

I enjoyed seeing the newlyweds relax together, and I hope SPY and DM's wedding also goes off without a hitch.

I also would completely understand if Tofu went back to being a teddy bear. I'm starting to see this as a journey for Tofu as well because he needed to learn more about what it means to be human in order for him to really help Nut and Na. I would hate for him to go back but I wouldn't be mad about it.

I'm only mad about Ms Left Slipper being lost to the ether 😭

I also didn't agree with the death penalty in this case, but I realize that one person's outburst about bullying in the courtroom isn't really evidence for the judge to consider. If the prosecution had provided strong evidence of the bullying and recommended a different sentence, the judge may have gone along with that. Maybe if they'd had more time to investigate but they wanted a swift conclusion.

As for speaking up, I remember the superior who briefed NHY saying that the guy reported the bullying multiple times, but they just ignored him or made the bullies run laps. That's why he was stuck trying to tough it out in the end.

Lol.

I don't know him so I would never talk about his personality. All my comments are about the characters and how they are portrayed. I can't really help how anyone takes my comments but you asked for clarification and I tried to provide it.

I think he has a tendency to be a bit stiff and one dimensional with his characters and this one seems more fleshed out and lived in. As I said though, for me.

I knew he was a lost cause when he said he would make those assassins pay for putting a scratch on her 😂 also every time he looks at her.

It's weird to say, but I think Zhao Lu Si humanizes Yang Yang a lot for me. She has a way of bringing her costars down to earth and making you care about them and it's working here again. I love their banter onscreen and I really look forward to seeing the relationship grow as the show progresses.

Gonna preface this by saying Nut is absolutely a jerk. He's in recovery now, but that definitely doesn't go away overnight.

I said before that ep 9 was the start of healing and that continued in ep 10. Nut finally talking about Tarn without breaking down was really good to see. Job is doing amazing in this role because the difference between Nut pre-trauma and present day Nut is like night and day. He had an optimism and innocence in spite of his abusive, homophobic father that was eventually taken away and what we see now is the result of that. This show is therapeutic in some ways because we are all taken on the healing journey with Nut. It would be unrealistic if he became a perfect person overnight just because of Tofu and while it's not something we're used to seeing onscreen, I appreciate it. You can see the work Nut is doing and it's very hard work. It may take the rest of his life to undo the damage that was done and he will hurt the people closest to him while he does it, but he's trying and he's making progress.

I was really mad at Na for not protecting Nut when he was a child but as someone said here, she was also in an abusive situation. She was clearly scared of Sib and even though she wanted to, she ultimately couldn't keep Nut from being hurt by his father. This of course makes no sense to young Nut because he expected love and protection from his mother and seeing her helplessly standing by while his father broke him must have felt like the ultimate betrayal to a child. I hope Na and Nut have a real conversation soon because I'm really scared that something will happen to Na before they can properly understand each other and reconcile.

Tofu was perfect as usual, trying to be the ultimate peacekeeper while also getting Nut to calm down and see reason. Also, props to In too because he plays Tofu and Neung so differently and so well.

Gen and Song really held my attention in ep 10 and that was a surprise to me cos I haven't been as invested in their relationship. I liked Song actually trying to talk to Gen about their relationship.

Finally, Nut and Tarn absolutely stole the show in this episode. The progression of Nut's feelings from crushing on Neung to falling for Tarn while Tarn was being so understanding and supportive was very believable. I'm now in a conundrum cos I'd root for Tarn and Nut just as hard as I root for Nut and Tofu.

Ultimately though, I still have a sneaking suspicion that Tofu is only here for a specific purpose, and that is to help Nut heal and love again, and I can see him returning to teddy bear status when that is done. Tarn and Nut may eventually reunite because it's clear both of them are still somewhat stuck in the past and they need each other to move forward. It'll hurt, but I believe Tofu of all people would understand and want that for Nut.

I think Tofu's memories only started after he came alive with Nut so he wouldn't remember Tarn as his first owner. From what they showed it was Nut's tears that brought Tofu to life, if I remember correctly. As for Neung, I also wonder if he was really that oblivious. I think he knew Tarn had a thing for Nut at the very least.

Doesn't ep 9 start with the surprise birthday party?

At first I didn't mind the thought because it was clear that Tofu was really just there to help them heal, but now that he's said he doesn't want to go back to being a teddy bear, I realize that I don't want it either.

Idk, I feel like Nut's anger isn't meant to be rosy. His outbursts are meant to be as uncomfortable for us as they are for the characters because they're wrong. His anger while rooted in trauma, is not meant to be palatable or glossed over. It's meant to be confronted and worked through in the difficult way. I think if it was softer it wouldn't have the same impact. Putting aside the fact that the actor is ridiculously good-looking, I wouldn't want to reduce the effect of the character's behaviour just because he's cute.

Nut has needed the validation of unconditional love for his entire life and that's what he gets from Tofu. It's allowing him to see that there are other ways to work though pain than anger and lashing out, which will make him even more attractive to the viewers. At least that's what I think.
