so the two of them have obviously liked each other for a long time. trash confesses in ep 11 and gives his reasons why. i get why, though it is a bit overdone in terms of narrative, but it makes sense. regardless of a reason it would have made sense because that’s what happens sometimes when you like someone. no one is obligated to hold on and to answer but it’s very very very clear that everything we saw was cemented through the conversations in the rest of the episode. him being confused about their feelings for each other but not being able to push her away. the reason we like them sm is because of their feelings and interactions.
i found it odd that when hai tai was like “hey i like date rape all of a sudden” that was funny in the recaps and within the drama sphere but not alarming. on the other hand, trash being spurred on by a “rival” who is not a rival at all is also…normal. people are weird. it’s obvious they like each other. i saw that people were saying that they built chilbong up and made us connect with him to the detriment of trash. i cannot see how. chilbong is there as an extra boarder, a friend, and in the ensemble cast as the ensemble. but his life centers around her instead of the others. we see from her POV so the less she is in contact with him, the less he is shown since she is HIS STORY for a dumb reason
and we dont get growth and we NEVER see her return feelings and i think that’s important because….in a lot of these shows they dont and the second lead goes full steam ahead. and it’s just like….what is a girl supposed to fucking do? everyone is allowed to pine but it depends on who the audience wants to see do it and the reasons behind it. if cb wasn’t super good looking maybe it would have turned out differently idk but the point is that through the process it seems like what najung wants and does doesnt matter and is at the whim of men supposedly when every step of the way it’s mostly her doing what she wants. trash isn’t an oppressive figure and we seeeee consistently his respect for her. my fav part is when she gets extremely upset at him insinuating she should stay at home and work bc that was realistic and it is painful and a ping to your pride if you are the type of girl who studied hard and stood on her own feet just to not do things she wants to do bc of an econ crisis u kno
he wasn’t doing it to be misogynist or patriarchal (for the most part—he didn’t think before about how insulting that would be and how that would make her feel because he was putting their finances and stability first albeit his mind is clouded by how a man grows up bc…socialization) and then when he tells her he can stay at home, it doesn’t matter who as long as they’re ok….i was so happy. my fav parts of the rship and the show is that they are true people. the whole condom fiasco was HILARIOUS and it made me glad that they didnt demonize it.
soooo the date rape thing was a shitty thing, the double date and the girl is “Fat and ugly” i hated. and the one time that i think there was too much of a rush—though this is also cultural and listne sorry i just can’t get it. it’s the same with a lot of countries in the global south and kind of the same for nigerians but i just refuse to rush ever and idek if im getting married lmao i just want a longterm mans—and he was insecure about not seeing her. that i think was stupid just in a life course way, in a why the fuck are you so insecure way (and he can be! it makes sense! she was extremely upset when he moved for that reason; she also gets jealous) but i was glad still esp bc she wnated him to propose as seen by his horrific previous gift bc he cares abt her back
another thing….their issues arose and it was never because of outsiders. long distance is hard she was in fucking australia, he’s dong doctor shit as an internship, the economy is upside fucking down and there’s om uch shit happening. life got in the way—it became more important to live their lives separately which is good and great i love the time they spend apart because that’s, again, life and it’s good to be your own person (the best part about them, too!) and that struggle.
i’ve been watching most of it in whole scenes as opposed to skipping around like i suu do when i wanna see my friends but quickly. i keep forgetting what a deep world that was created. i don’t um love these writers i guess but the cast and crew knocked it out of the park. r94 to me is by far the best and a great decision. and their chemistry was amazing but what makes me even happier is that they had a good time and were friends while working. we can believe they love each other and have the capacity to IRL, but it’s so wonderful when you can do your craft and be this other person who can be in love but IRL you make your choices. that’s how it should be imo and less people should date on shoots I M O
this is truly go ara’s best perfomance and i fucking WISH I WISH SOOOOO BADLY she will get someone that brings out more in her like with this show and jung woo….sigh
