They are sooo cute my god yeon being the one to name kihoon in his past life is so romantic like putting a name to your beloved itself is an intimate tradition (most people will have nicknames/diminutive for their loved ones) but to give them their name, arguably something that shapes their entirety, while being five years of age, and putting so much effort into it…. Past 5 y/o yeon you have my heart.
Imagine you met a boy who is half monkey and saved your lost ass in the jungle and then led you to your goal and then you had fun all day and he is as bright as the blazing sun, made whole in light and joy and he mistakes you for an angel yeah I get why child yeon was taken with kihoon already.
I love them T-T lmaooo not yeowoon realizing Jigu has been shittalking him to his face all due to his own misunderstandings I’m so sorry man this idiot was too dramatically idiotic.
Bro is just content to be the eternal peanut gallery to Mitzuaya he’s just there eating popcorn finding them entertaining.
He loves ibeom and ibeom’s family and wants to support his boyfriend in his work. But because ibeom has a fundamental misunderstanding about ‘respectable’ jobs he urges jungoh to go for corporate work and jungoh understanding this does so.
I understand where ibeom is coming from. His work is very much real (atleast in the story’s universe), but can be skeptically viewed by others. In that sense being assistant to a shaman is not ‘respectable’ or ‘being on the up and up’ allowing career growth. But the reality of corporate work is that they strip you of your life to turn you into a mindless worker drone while dangling bonuses and promotions in your face which you will likely never achieve. Sure there is career progression, but it’s soul sucking stuff. Many people are not built for it.
I think jungoh himself wants to work for ibeom because he finds it satisfying. He gets paid well, loves what he does and becomes a part of ibeom’s work and family. Ibeom will probably learn to have a conversation that welcomes jungoh’s input from this lol he made assumptions about how corpo work is and urged jungoh to pursue it and look where it got both of them. Overworked and under loved.
But who starts that by revealing something that is clearly a secret about your crush/idol. Idt she realizes she’s not the main character of everyone’s lives. Chika is a person. Her mentality of ‘if I alone can’t have you, you should be loved by every person equally and not grow close to one person’ is such parasocial insane behaviour. Atleast she got her wake up call.
That's literally how every crazy fan (sasaeng, in korea) acts in real life too, it's sad how idols are expected not to have a life outside their profession, I feel bad for all the idols out there
Like how a dating scandal can even end their career they worked so hard to build
‘How come you act all cute and flirty in the game but you can’t say shit to my face’ Yeowoon putting a foot to jigu’s neck spare him he’s a cringefail loser lover boy bro he’s already embarrassed and a weirdo hahaha.
HELPPP I loved that line sm
A homophobic theatre kid who’s a washed up idiot not even in college dating a girl who isn’t even into him.. dude can kick rocks. People into theatre are not all about acting. Drag is performance that heightens a lot of what makes theatre great. Hope the asshole gets dumped.
Also I have to appreciate how grounded this story is. It’s always something that I’ve considered, that Luke wants to pursue acting seriously and how being in an mlm relationship going into the entertainment industry is seen as a big ‘impediment’. Inherent homophobia derides acting opportunities. But even on a smaller scale, struggling to be out with your partner but not as a couple is a very real queer experience. I think especially in places with a homophobic general mindset queer couples are very conscious of how they’re perceived and what they can and can’t do.
I like that them being attracted and into each other isn’t enough, that love is still a struggle. But it’s something they’re willing to work through. Good writing.
Yeonwoo accepting bottom-hood (or whatever they call it) all because Jigu-ya can’t handle pain is sooo funny fuck I can’t stop wheezing.
Momo a high schooler being summoned to the world straight into what seems is essentially sex slavery.. what the fuck.
Haseong clocked Mr. Homotron2000 and developed a crush I knew it was dajeong he was crushing on. Haneul is the kinda guy who won’t be able to turn down helping haseong get with his own boyfriend until nana or dajeong themselves realize what’s happening and then knock some sense into him.
