THEY LEARNED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Thank you, Noh Shin Woo. I’m serious. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve collapsed on the street from crying. You’re exaggerating.

“Do you feel ticklish cause fans are shipping both of you?”

Nanon: Nope. Cause we're friends to begin with. We're friends that love each other a lot. Love each other as.. to put it simply, you could say we're soulmates. We work as partners, we have deep conversation about everything, know each other's good and bad side. We accept each other's flaws, to the point we become soulmates. Anything not good, we remind each other. Anything that we can support each other, we'll do it.

"Do dreams carry any meaning without someone you love to share them with?"

I was rewatching episode 7 with subs and it suddenly struck me how Adachi and Kurosawa both fell in love with the other basically for the same reason.

The parallel is simply beautiful: Kurosawa started to fall for Adachi when he was able to see beyond his perfect man image, and Adachi started to fall for Kurosawa when he was able to see beyond his mediocre man image.

What's even more beautiful? They reacted the exact same way.

Neither of them was expecting the other to see him for who he really is, but they both did, and this was the beginning.

You know what I really love about it? I love that nobody explained Pat's feelings to him, nobody told him 'you're acting like this or that you must be into him'. He felt what he felt, and yes he got a nudge from Paa's 4 signs, but he went on this journey of discovery on his own, he really sat with himself and worked it out, and thought it through. He went all the way back through their history and questioned what he felt and did even then. His realisation came from within, it wasn't something anybody pushed him to, not even Pran. It came straight from his own heart.

There's a line in Pran's perspective from the novel that I really love that sparked for me here: There were times when I looked at Pat's face while treating his wounds and wondered what he meant to me. Here, Pat is the one who is going on that journey of trying to figure out what Pran means to him, and he's doing it not because anybody pointed something out to him, but because he felt something within himself and chose to explore it rather than ignore it like he would have done before. And he doesn't really discuss it with anybody, not Paa, not Korn, not Ink. Even when they try to draw him out about what he's thinking he demurs. He doesn't want anybody else's voice in his head about this. There's going to be enough of that if what he discovers within himself is love, enough voices saying this and that. And because it's Pran, something in him knows that he has to be absolutely sure if this is the path he's going to take. He can't go into this on a whim or anything less than 100% certainty. Because once he makes that move there will be absolutely no turning back.

Pran has a plan and that plan is foolproof because his friends are fools and they fell for it.

Bonus - It's not all a lie

what a wonderful way of seeing things!!!
