So, here’s a thing about me. Whenever I have to get up early, without fail I find it hard to go to sleep. My brain resists shutting down. But, since this isnt new I have ways of working around, namely daydreams. When I go to bed, I daydream about old otps and wonder how their relationship is going (Park Bong Pal and Hyun Ji from Lets Fight/Bring it On Ghost break up for almost a year. She really likes going on group dates like the other freshman girls in her class. Bong Pal hates it–not because he’s jealous, he knows that she tells the guys that she’s in a relationship before the date really begins, and he knows that shes not looking for someone else or better–he hates it because he’s ready to be in a comitted relationship and she’s not and he feels like he’s pressuring her every time she tells him about a blind date. She fights the breakup because she IS in love with Bong Pal and she decides that she needs to decide whether or not she wants to be a in relationship or date other guys. She knows right away what she wants but Bong Pal wants to do whats best for her and that lead to more fights until almost a year passes before they get back together. Little buddy In-Rang tried to make a move but was laughably shot down)
Very detailed fantasies about how the otps are living their lives or the occasional “what if” scenario to change how they got together.
That leads me to tonights daydream: The Doctors
I am not one who cares about large age gaps. Noona romances are my catnip and Older man/Younger woman doesnt bother me at all. And as icky as I find student/teacher relationships IRL (grossgrossgrossgrossGROSS I was hit on by my fav teen at the library TWICE and almost yakked all over him both times) in dramaland I love the taboo of it all. So, Doctors was set to ring all of my bells. And I’m one of the ones who enjoyed it for what it was. So, I was forcing myself to sleep since I have to be up in 4 hours (bt-dub, ISWAKers/Kiss me-ers I have to work until 9:30 tonight. Odds are y’all will be long gone and @egads will have gone to bed by the time I get off. SIGH. I miss the group) and was thinking about having my next daydream be about Ji Honghonghong and Hye Jung and playing around with scenarios, and I was thinking about falling asleep to: what if he had admitted that he had fallen for her when she was still a student and what if her granny hadnt died? Or maybe granny DOES die…what then? When a scene popped into my head. The jealous woman. She wasnt quite an evil 2nd lead, but she had the feels for Ji Hong and at one point –I think after the time skip? definitely before the leads start dating–she yells at Ji Hong that he was waiting for Hye Jung to grow up (the reason he wont date 2nd lead) and it skeeved me right on out.
Like I said, age gaps dont bother me, but hearing her accuse him of waiting for Hye Jung to grow up and him not denying it—full body shudder.
