ep09-red-Herring
The absolute best parts of episodes 8 and 9 of The Midnight Studio were the kick-ass supernatural fight scenes!

    Is your vote for the first, non-practice, 진짜 kiss, as he calls it?

      Oh, when he called it his non-practice first kiss, I just squeed so hard! Gah.

      that first move is called a flat pancake kiss: you squish the other person’s face with your own until one of you passes out from lack of oxygen.

      Does he seem inexperienced to you? Fans self.

        there’s a lot one can learn from tv shows… He’s just been studying like the good studious ML he is.

    ep09-crimeto-Cut-This-One
    This possibility for you to choose is the, “I can’t keep my hands and lips off you and I’m so psyched it’s mutual” scene. If you care to notice, the file is called “It was a crime to cut this one.”

      That hair tuck was a classic. And the swoop in cherry on the top.

      I loved it that they show both of them aflutter and unable to keep their hands off each other. Equal opportunity squee!

      Their chemistry is so good and they just naturally seem like a couple💯 look at all this super casual skinship and kisses.

    ep09-clothes-Rail
    Ah, the unnecessary hiding in the silly clothes rail. I bet that many of us will remember this scene long past when the show is over for its adorable sweetness.

      I have to admit when he dragged her to hide I rolled my eyes. But that gave us this little nugget. Look at the joy in her eyes. Ours too. 🤩

    ep09-inthe-Rain
    Instead, do you vote for this steamy one at the wet campsite? Or, do you only remember how the evening ends on a bit of a, well, Korean note??

    By the way, if you’ve made it this far (to the end, that is), I have a definite theory about what was so extra attractive and noticeably comfortable about these scenes for so many of us. I’ve made quite a few of these sorts of totally not fan-service gifs, and I’m often cutting out superfluous frames and shots with the female characters in them because they’re not interesting or useful. NOT SO here. Kwon Na-ra is not only an excellent kisser, but the director has her asserting both how she wants to kiss the ML and how she wants to be kissed by him WAY more than average. It’s awesome.

      I didn’t mind AT ALL they ended on a Korean note as you say. This was so much more goodness already than we are used to, my fangirling heart couldn’t take it any more if they’d also shown the devil’s tango. 😂 @dylanrodrigues42

        Plus, he is so inexperienced. It makes sense to wait

            I keep thinking about this… If they DO get it on, then by drama rules, she’ll get pregnant, which will leave the writer the opening to have him die, with her living on as the mother of his child, being reminded (and feeling joyful) about what she had and lost every day of her life. Gah. Not what I want here.

        I think the “Korean note” should be called the “Korean KD” note as by all accounts, this prudery is not a reflection of real life.

            It has been pretty dead around these parts of late…unless you are watching QoT and/or Lovely Runner, which I am not. I think you are enjoying the latter though, yes?

            Have you been watching “Lovely runner”? Such a nice bit of bittersweet froth with good chemistry. We’re all chasing the next hit. I both hate and love this chase. I tell you.

            It would’ve been more fun if you were watching LR too but I get it. Life and such.

            Well, thanks, Emma! But not to be a wet blanket, but I have the time, I just have ZERO interest in teen dramas, and even less interest in tear-jerking teen dramas…but you all will have a blast, I know it!

            I miss the time when we were watching “Heartbeat” during the fun bit. You had only recently joined, right?

            You’re forthright. I appreciate that but didn’t know you didn’t like adults pretending to be teenagers uninteresting!😂. It’s kinda embarrassing that I like some of them but what the hell. Live and let live.

            The next time a drama grabs my heart as much as Heartbeat did, I promise to gif the heck out of it and rabble rouse on the recaps… 약속

            With luck it’ll be a drama you can access and love as well!!

            One last thing. I love this sentence in korean:
            이 말썽쟁기를 어떻게 함연 좋죠? What do I do with this troublemaker? I bet you can use it too on certain occasions.

            @dncngemma I would like to take a moment to let you know that I hope our online relationship can be defined by the months and months of interactions during which we have found more than our fair share of common ground and even mutual support rather than the few moments in which we clash. This interaction here, from just a few weeks ago, is what I know we are both capable of!

    How lovely to wake up to this Gif fest! 👏🫰👏Though I must admit I accidentally voted for everything. But then again, how couldn’t I? 😆
    Their relationship really unfolded so naturally in these episodes! Squeeing my way through this show.

      I went bonkers and voted for all of them too as they were all delightful. Sorry @Seon-ha! But not sorry!🥰

        Actually, Emma, you only voted for four of them, and I know which 🙂

        I love likes!! So the “voting” part was really a ruse for the social-media dopamine of getting a message saying that Sonai or Emma liked me ☺️
