Is she gonna be a lesbian in the end or something? Just like in Boys don't cry? Some nature vs. nurture thing? And let's say that he did pass the exam and he becomes one of those higher status people, what happens when he grows older? He can't grow a beard and that's like a must in the old days...

I know that her parents were kills, does her adopted brother knew she a girl or guy? probably a stupid question?

It was simply beautiful and heartbreaking. Especially the "scene", I do believe that she YB is leading JH, I mean if I was JH I'd be so all over YB's cute butt already! Unfortunately we know that a full on love relationship will not be possible, but why does it seem so sad? I loved your recap, and I enjoyed this episode. It was simply beautiful and heartbreaking.

Perhaps I should clarify -- I meant that when Dahee and I, in the course of writing recaps, exclaim, "That is so gay!" we are in no way meaning to insult gay people. (Usually it's in a spirit of fun.) I think those terms CAN be used harmfully, but I think it's all about context as well. Sorry, I meant that more of a defense of Dahee's use of the term here rather than a defense of the term at large since I can't talk for everyone. Muffin, thanks for your comment.

I find them quite delightful actually. You have approached the series with such fan girlish glee that to me, you comes across as someone who embraces the intended and/or suggestive antics of the characters. I completely disagree with Javabeans statement that usage of something being gay or retarded isn't meant to insult homosexuals or the mentally impaired, because those words have been given negative connotations and the way they are used reflects that. However, in your case, I don't see your use of something being gay as a negative. You're describing an implied behavior or sexuality. Lets face it, this show is pretty damn gay... and that's a good thing. This is your interpretation of the show and its events. I don't think your thoughts should be censored.
