I Had Not Considered This. We're So Back.

thinking about whitaker half a year into the roommate arrangement. him gaining weight because he's eating more than stolen hospital food. the dark circles under his eyes lightening up because he's sleeping on a proper bed. not having to think about where he's crashing that night when he clocks out of work.

has anyone ever talked about the fact that the first time we see sae-byeok she’s carrying an iced coffee?

this girl is literally barely surviving, committing crimes on the daily, probably only one step ahead of deok-su and his gang since she ditched them and they want payback, and she still found time and money to buy herself a little treat

and I LOVE that for her. so much. I hope she got a little cookie or something with it too

hot take. Despite having the biggest saddest eyes and pathetic vibes, Whitaker is not shaking like a chihuahua nervous about life, he's actually pretty fucking steady and rolls with things as they happen to him. things just happen to him A Lot

JIYEONG FOR CHARACTER BINGO

i love her.

stares dreamily ✨

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.”
