It's Really Hard To Believe We Now Have Korean Dramas That Doesn't Focus On The Romance, Where You Can

I want to point out something SO important about this episode…

This scene right here. Omg. I got emotional. The way Pat was originally coming over to continue their teasing, but saw that Pran was in a sad mood so he changed his tune real quick to become a more lighthearted and supportive person for Pran to lean on. They understand each other in ways even their friend groups wouldn’t understand 😭😭

All my life, I’ve been told not to be friends with this one guy.

This moment is so important. When they finally discuss their pain aloud, forgive one another, and put the blame where it rightfully belongs; on their parents. While reassuring each other that in spite of everything that's happened and the pressure from the people around them, they definitely don't hate each other. & it breaks my heart how desperately they both (but especially Pran) needed to hear that but the relief on their faces when they do makes it all worth it. This is the moment they finally begin to break free from the influence of their families. NOW they can start moving forward together.

“Fine. It’s a yes.” BAD BUDDY (2021)

this week on pat being best boy:

pat taking note of the sad face on pran’s door to gauge how he’s feeling before going in and then making sure pran knows he isn’t there to be stupid and purposefully being dumb and cute to cheer him up

This may be pretty weird and really minimal but I really appreciate how Light On Me doesn't make fun of picky eaters? I feel like most of the time, people don't truly get it, especially with neurodivergent folks. Actually, I want to say, as an autistic person in general, that this drama makes me feel safe and loved. Taekyung's neurodivergency is accepted by everyone and a key point to the plot. The characters love him for who he is and learn more about themselves thanks to him. It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not, the representation feels more genuine and respectful than in other series where they have a canonical autistic character.

Light On Me makes me feel validated, hopeful that one day we will find people that understand us and treat us with kindness.

Pat adjusting himself so Pran could feel comfortable enough to deal with his own feelings will be forever one of the best things a BL series ever gave us. It shows how much in love he is and how much he cares about Pran's feelings and pace. They both knows they like each other, but Pat also knows Pran needs a reason to face, without fearing it, this new path their relationship took, so he gave him exactly this.

Still not over how that scene was improvised ..
