Extraordinary You

A random thought

I think this writer is obsessed with BOF. The stage story takes so much time and all the aware characters do about it is to say it’s cheesy. Yeah, we know, this joke was funny in the first eps. If Juda is really aware she should be doing a lot more. On the other side DO seems to have become Jandi and GJP was split into 2 characters, devil Kyung and angel Haru, which robbed him of any intersting quality. Last week it covered GJP getting amnesia and this week was the arc when the boys fight over her. Conveniently she can do nothing. The writer is the GJP’s evil parents keeping the love birds apart. Next week we’ll get Fairy impossible love in the old comic just like female second lead in BOF. I guess the fantasy element was never there to be explored, it wal all a tease.

    I think it’s all kind of cruel for Dan-oh! She experienced the consequences of trying to change the stage 1st-hand and it hurt her deeply, Haru was her only hope of surviving and he disappeared like he was never even there, I can understand how frightening this is for her, she doesn’t want to lose him again!

    And I don’t think she is going to just let the two boys fight for her, this is all very new to her, the attention she is getting from both in the shadow I mean, she doesn’t know what Kyung feels for her or why he acts the way he does, it was different when he wasn’t self-aware but now that he is she does tell him to stop hurting people like that, I think she will speak for herself without needing Haru to do that, but at the same time it’s nice to feel protected like that!

    Also, this last episode showed us how hard it is for them to just be together let alone plan anything to do to change the fate, the writer kept pulling them in scenes over and over again, they’re powerless! And the Manhwa is supposed to be a cliche, so BoF it is!

      Hey @azzo1

      This post is not so much about DO’s but about the where the plot went in the past weeks. I disagree about Haru, she doesn’t know exactly why he left or why he came back and my biggest complaint about her was her refusing to question her world rules but it’s not even about that. It’s that for me the writer basically created another BOF, a real BOF inside the parody of BOF which wasn’t even that much of a parody anymore. Don’t you think the last episode was very convenient? Was it romantic that Haru could never visit her? Absolutely. But they had plenty of moments in shadow so where is the explanation? One moment they can take the entire day alone and the other he can’t meet her. And yes the stage is a cliche but the drama itself wasn’t meant to be so no need to spend so much scenes in Stage for no reason.

    I’ve had enough of the BOF parody in the Stage. I enjoyed the meta aspect at first, but it’s getting boring. I still wish they kept the original Secrets story from the webtoon. I just feel robbed of the depth of the characters even in the Stage. Namju wouldn’t have been insufferable. I would have understood Dohwa keeping on liking Juda after being self-aware, and would have actually been moved by his countless confessions in the Shadow. Baek Kyung wouldn’t have been frustratingly inconsistent in the Stage, and we would have had nice character moments and interactions with him and Danoh. The only thing I like in the BOF parody is Juda possibly being self-aware. I hope the sageuk manhwa storyline is better.

      It’s not even a parody anymore, the scenes are too long and detailed. Having one character say it’s cheesy doesn’t fool anyone, they think the Stage is good drama! Webtoon seems a lot better.

    On the fantasy element, it’s only floating sparkly stuffs which is a real waste 😒
    I wonder why none of the characters, except Haru ever try to poke their head/hand in the black-hole thingy when it appeared. They’re not curious what’s on the other side? And how come the comic always end up on the shelf? I thought squid-fairy shud keep it safer if he doesnt want ppl to be self aware. The self aware keep talking about writer/scenes/telling people you wont remember this – it’s a wonder their friends don’t think they’re crazy.

    Ok these are all rhetorical qs/sharing my thoughts 😅

      You can’t realize the the sparkly blackhole unless you are selfaware so that’s why the other don’t see it, also Dan-oh did try putting her hand in one in the earlier episodes and she told Squid fairy about it but then the blackhole disappeared.
