i can’t stop thinking about sang-woo’s suicide attempt. more specifically, little details surrounding that.
on the floor, we see a pile of cigarettes and ash, an empty bottle of soju, a trash bag filled with wrappers of what i’m going to assume are some kind of food or beverage… and shaving cream. which means it is more likely than not that sang-woo shaved himself before his suicide attempt. (he also does look cleanly shaved as well)
further more, when calling his mother, he’s not wearing the jacket of his suit. we see him put it back on. it wasn’t a spur of the moment decision; he willingly got in the bathtub with his suit on, assuming he was going to die.
so sang-woo made sure that even in death, he looked presentable and clean. he doesn’t want to be found a mess, because he’s meant to be better than a mess, and he wants people to think highly of him, even if he’s dead.
oh, the sheer irony of his actual death being messy.
look how far we’ve come.

also, it still breaks my heart that sang-woo was never able to tell his mother he loves her. while yes, he did get interrupted by the customer, i feel he also held back because of the things that had happened.
he’d basically jeopardized his mother because of his own wrongdoings, and he hadn’t really been the son she thought he was for the past couple years. that alone feels like a betrayal on its own.
and he’s basically drowning himself in shame and guilt that maybe he’s tricked his psyche into thinking “well, if you really loved your mother, none of that shit would have happened.”
dr john shen clocking in early as attending (after having been one for only 3 months) on this fucky ass day because there's an MCI and then once things start slowing down a kid comes in with measles and his parents are being unreasonable and while he deals with that he has to deal with those two old white men refusing to end their damn shifts and one of the day shift residents almost gets fucking arrested and there's an 18-year-old in custody in one of the rooms who will likely stay there all night with his sad mum and the day shift attending just showed a patient's father the fucking make-shift morgue and then right when they're about to close trauma a man's pelvic gets crushed and he has to stand there and listen to walsh and abbot argue over what is supposed to be his patient, really, and he can see the day shift attending dissociate for ten solid minutes and no one's even told him there are two rats still loose in his damn department and abbot calls him a nerd

i am SICK AND TIRED of people saying that “sangihun is brother-coded/cousin-coded” or “sangihun is a direct parallel to hwang brothers and so shipping them is practically incest”
while HDH compares their relationship to that of a fraternal one, the key word there is COMPARES. nowhere does it state they are brothers. nowhere does it state they see each other as brothers. god forbid childhood friends fall in love i guess
this parallel is used to emphasize how strong their bond is. it is used as a comparison of sorts.
not to mention we literally see them have different moms?? is this not more proof.
“but you can see somebody as a sibling not by blood!!” okay. fair point. i do see some of my friends in more of a sibling manner. but THOSE THINGS CAN BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. one is not always entitled to see their childhood friends as siblings. there is nothing to imply they see each other this way though. especially not with all the freaky eyefucking oh my god.
“hyung”, as we all should know by now, is used between close males. that is in no way further proof. besides, not to pull the homophobia card but i am certain people would have less of that belief if one of them were a woman.
this isn’t about personal interpretations. i can’t stop you there. but PLEASE stop spreading misinformation like “they see each other as brothers”. that is an OPINIONATED INTERPRETATION, not a fact. especially since their dynamic, regardless of how you interpret it, is EXTREMELY important to the plot.
please for the love of god stop it. and STOP CALLING MY FELLOW SANGIHUN SHIPPERS INCESTUOUS.
xoxo, mama sangihun (i guess that’s me now?? 😭)
adding dr. dennis whitaker to the list of men I want to put in a jar and shake
i also don't think Whittaker and Santos would tell anyone they're living together. Whittaker would be like i can't tell anyone i moved in with Santos or they'll find out i was secretly living in the hospital and Santos is like i can't tell anyone i let Whittaker move in with me that'll destroy my reputation. so they just silently agree to arrive at work separately and not discuss it at work.
eventually after like 6 months Whittaker lets it slip and everyone's very confused bcos firstly no-one thought they were friends and secondly why have they kept this totally normal thing a secret
