My boy, Choi Woo-soek is not an idiot.
He is a bright hopeful noodle of a person who lost his best friend. His boss. His best man to the recruiter.
For a sick, twisted game.
How you can hate this man? The ones who do have no soul.
Just look at him 😍 ❤️ 💕

He is literally questioning the Salesman's sanity, little does he know. It's completely nonexistent. He is so judgemental, I love it.

Hey, instead of a spinoff series on a different set of games in a different country.

Just a thought, Netflix.

-but also the arc with her and the cancer kid was genuinely so sad :,,,,(
-gi-hun is SUCH A BADASS this season!! i didn’t realize how much he’s changed because i watched the acolyte and got used to seeing (insert gi hun actor) as a boss ass bitch but then so many things this episode pointed it out! like the front man “you speak better now” and him having super good aim ugh i love my king seong gi-hun!!
-TEENAGE CHEOL IS AMAZING AND I LOVE HIM
-how many of in-ho’s family members got sick? that luck is just awful, also the reveal that in-ho and jun-ho are half/step siblings was sort of like no-eul again like ok,,, but why?
-poor woo-seok just has to be all the animal metaphors for every episode, first he’s a dog with a master now he’s a horse people bet on lmao
-but having said that,,, i like woo-soek and he’s funny but im kind of done with him, i don’t need his kind of happy go lucky doofus humor in my squid game you know?

An incomplete List of Parallels during the First Season of Weak Hero
The second season is almost here and I'm very excited so here’s a (very incomplete) list of parallels during the first season (in no particular order) because I love how much thought went into every little detail in this show:
Si-eun following his morning routine in episode 1, ignoring Su-ho who's trying to sleep → Si-eun later integrating Su-ho into his morning routine by letting him sleep
Su-ho throwing a shoe at Si-eun’s bullies after Yeong-bin threw a shoe at Si-eun in episode 1
Si-eun attacking Yeong-bin over one wrong answer in his test in episode 1 → Si-eun being concerned about Su-ho in episode 8 and not paying attention to the mistakes he made during the test
Si-eun stopping to fight Su-ho as soon as a teacher enters the room in episode 1 → Si-eun not caring about a teacher being present when he tries to get revenge for Su-ho in episode 8 (having no regard for social rules anymore because the revenge matters more to him)
Si-eun being surrounded by students asking him about his confrontation with the bullies in the bathroom and Si-eun brushing them off in episode 2 → Beom-soek being asked by students about the fight with Gil-su and Beom-seok then bragging about it in episode 5
Si-eun inviting Su-ho to eat together → then later Su-ho inviting Si-eun to eat, both in episode 2 and in both cases they lie to the other to get to spend time together: Si-eun promises to pay for the meal but it turns out to be a school meal and Su-ho hides that Si-eun and Beom-seok are supposed to help out in the restaurant
Su-ho’s grandmother asking “You’re Su-ho’s friends?” in episode 2 and Si-eun not answering → Su-ho’s grandmother asking the same thing in episode 8 and Si-eun saying yes
Yeong-bin asking Si-eun for proof about the fentanyl in episode 2 and Si-eun providing evidence → Su-ho asking Gil-su for evidence when Gil-su says that they are responsible for Seok-dae’s injuries, but evidence turning out to be irrelevant to Gil-su in episode 3 (because he doesn’t “play by the rules”)
Si-eun shattering the glassdoor of Gil-su’s house with a dumbbell in episode 3 → Si-eun shattering the foot of Woo-young with another dumbbell in episode 8
Si-eun apologizing to Beom-seok in the police station in episode 4 because he let Su-ho go alone and Beom-seok saying sorry back → Si-eun imagining saying sorry to Su-ho and Su-ho saying sorry back in episode 8
Beom-seok always offering to pay for things, then Su-ho chiming in with “No, you always pay. I’ll pay this time” in episode 5 → the bullies accepting Beom-seok’s money and simply saying “Well if he wants to pay he can pay” in a later episode
Si-eun telling Beom-seok that it’s not his fault when Beom-seok opens up about having been bullied in episode 5 → Si-eun’s father telling Si-eun that he did the best he could in episode 8 (both getting to hear what they really needed to hear)
Si-eun trying to hold Su-ho back after he shoved Beom-seok to the ground during the fight in the cafeteria in episode 6 and Su-ho brushing Si-eun off → Si-eun shoving Beom-seok to the ground in episode 8, then leaving the classroom and being approached by someone who tries to reach for his shoulder to calm him down and Si-eun brushing that off before breaking the window (the person who should have been in this parallel scene to calm him down is Su-ho, but he wasn’t there which is why that gesture of trying to reach out to Si-eun sets him off)
Yeong-I picking up Beom-seok’s phone and that ultimately leading to Beom-seok betraying Si-eun and Su-ho in episode 4 → Si-eun picking up Su-ho’s phone in episode 6 in order to keep him save which ultimately leads to him getting hurt, Su-ho trying to confront Beom-seok and ending up in a coma
Si-eun trying to save Su-ho when he goes to Gil-su’s place by calling the police but being unable to make them help him at first in episode 4 → Si-eun refusing to talk to the police in order to protect his friends in episode 7
Su-ho going to the confrontation with Gil-su on his own in episode 3, but being rescued in episode 4 → Su-ho going to the confrontation with Beom-seok on his own in episode 7, but being unable to be saved in episode 8
Su-ho thinking he is to blame for Yeong-I and especially Si-eun getting hurt and apologizing to Yeong-I in episode 7 vs. Yeong-I thinking she is to blame for Su-ho getting hurt (after Beom-seok tells her so) in episode 8
Si-eun ending up hurt because he wanted to protect Su-ho in episode 6 → Su-ho ending up hurt because he wanted to protect Si-eun in episode 7
Beom-seok’s father offering to pay Su-ho’s hospital bill in episode 4 and Su-ho declining → Beom-seok’s father paying for Su-ho’s hospital bill to cover his tracks in episode 8
Si-eun smiling for Su-ho in the hospital in episode 4 → Si-eun crying over Su-ho in the hospital in episode 8
the same song (“Again”) playing over Beom-seok realizing what he did to Su-ho in episode 7 and Si-eun letting go of Beom-seok instead of hurting him in episode 8 (this song playing both times when Si-eun irrevocably loses a friend)
the same effect of having a blurry vision and being disoriented being used when Si-eun gets drugged by Beom-seok in episode 1 and when Si-eun goes to Su-ho in the hospital after confronting Beom-seok in episode 8
Also as an addition: How Beom-seok was slowly framed as becoming a bully himself through parallels to other bullies
Yeong-bin saying “I don’t want to” to Si-eun in episode 1 → Beom-soek saying “I don’t want to” to Su-ho when Su-ho asks him to get back in line in episode 6
Beom-seok getting three soda cans before reluctantly getting a forth one, then dropping the forth one when he gets startled by his bullies in episode 5 → can be foreshadowing for one of the four people in the friend-group getting hurt because of Beom-seok (and from this context you’d think it'll be Yeong-I, but it’s actually Su-ho)
Beom-seok asking his former bullies to apologize to him in episode 5 → Su-ho asking Beom-seok to apologize to Si-eun and Yeong-I in episode 7
Beom-seok picking up the “I only need to apologize when I do something wrong” in episode 7 from when his former bully said the same thing in episode 5
Beom-seok asking to hit his bully to get even in episode 5 → after him not wanting to hit Gil-su as a form of revenge in episode 4
Gil-su planting the seed in Beom-seok’s mind of being a lackey to his friends in episode 4 → Beom-seok asking Su-ho “Am I your lackey?” in episode 5
Su-ho holding Beom-seok back and not wanting him to cross the line while Jeong-chang and the others encourage Beom-seok to cross the line with his bullies in episode 5
bullies being shown to call their victims repeatedly throughout the show → Beom-seok trying to call Su-ho to lure him to the fight in episode 6 (especially remarkable because his bullies tried to do the same thing to Beom-seok in episode 5)
Beom-seok losing his glasses in the conflict with his bullies at the karaoke as a sign of him literally losing sight of what’s right and wrong → Jeong-chang even commenting on it with “Without glasses today” in episode 5 (Beom-seok doesn’t wear his glasses for the rest of the show, so the moment of him losing his glasses marks the moment he becomes a bully)
Si-eun saying that there is nothing to talk about when Yeong-bin wants to talk to him in episode 3 → Beom-seok saying that he has nothing to say to Su-ho when Si-eun asks him to talk to Su-ho in episode 6
Yeong-bin making plans on how to mess with Si-eun while in the club in episode 1 → Beom-seok and Yeong-bin making plans on how to hurt Su-ho together in episode 6
Su-ho commenting on how the bullies reek of smoke in episode 5 → Beom-seok smoking in the bathroom in episode 6
Beom-seok offering to pay Su-ho for helping Si-eun in episode 2 → Beom-seok offering money to someone for hurting Su-ho in episode 6
Beom-seok pushing Yeong-bin in episode 2 to help Si-eun → Beom-seok trying to stop Yeong-bin from hurting Si-eun in episode 6 but ultimately letting it happen
Si-eun asking Beom-seok to stop in episode 7 just like he asked Yeong-bin to stop at the very start

I’m sorry if this is a stupid question but I didn’t quite get why Inho didn’t let Jun ho know that the trail was related to the people whose criminal activities had driven their father to suicide and why Soek woo chose to defend them, I mean, money is money but he always came of as fiercely loyal to Inho and I didn’t understand why he would do that unless Inho encouraged him to
Hi anon! Not a stupid question at all. I didn't want to go into too much plot in Material Girl because I wanted to end that fic/leave it on a fluffy note. I might allude to why in a sequel or sprinkle some stuff in the prequel, but if I don't end up doing so, come back and ask again and I'll map out my thinking <3

nothing is more serious in life than female friendships ~ soulmate movie analysis (not spoiler free)
The first scene of Soulmate opens up with an early thirties something Ahn Mi So (Kim Da Mi) carefully observing a hyperrealistic portrait of her. She is informed by the curator of the art gallery that the piece was submitted by an artist named "Ha-Eun" for a contest but they have been unable to track her. Despite the evidence that is provided to suggest that Mi So and the artist are close friends, she denies this claim and states that she can be of no help.
We are then transported to Mi So's childhood and her first day at an elementary school in Jeju. Mi So has a dysfunctional relationship with her mother and is tired of having to constantly move from one place to another due to her mother's financial woes. It is on this day that the young Mi So meets Ko Ha Eun ( Jeon So-Nee) for the first time. After an eventful day of rescuing a kitten from the pouring rain and having dinner with Ha Eun's family, both girls embark on a lifelong friendship.
The two girls grow up together and bond over their mutual dream of painting and traveling the world. However, Mi So and Ha Eun are poles apart from each other. Ha-Eun is reserved and proper and grows up in a stable loving two parent childhood. She aspires to attend college and her father wishes her to become a painter. On the other hand, Mi So is extroverted and wild. She's a free spirit with an estranged mother. She dislikes school and unlike her peers, she attends a trade school by day and works an assortment of part time jobs to support herself. The idyllic friendship and inseparable bond of both girls is disrupted when Ham Jin Woo (played by the ever so handsome Byeon Woo Soek) enters their lives.
As teenagers, Ha Eun develops romantic feelings for Jin Woo. During a soirée, she and Jin Woo confess their attraction for each other during a game of "Go Stop" and they both end up dating. The dynamics between the three individuals is complex and a significant turning point in their relationship is when the three go on a forest hike to a wishing well. Ha Eun bruises her feet during the hike and stays behind as Jin Woo and Mi So continue their journey. At the well, the two unexpectedly share a brief kiss and Jin Woo ends up giving Mi So the necklace he was wearing, which is really an amulet to protect the wearer against misfortune.
Shortly after this trip, Mi So abruptly leaves Jeju for Seoul, leaving Ha Eun heartbroken. As the two girls wave their final farewells, Ha Eun is stunned to find her best friend wearing her boyfriend's necklace. Her grief of Mi So's sudden departure is overcome by a strong sense of betrayal. The rest of the film is a non-linear and sometimes alternate timeline depiction of the two friends as they navigate their relationship with each other and adulthood.
At its core, the relationship between Mi So, Ha Eun, and Jin Woo is essentially a love triangle, but its far more complicated than the two girls both being in love with same guy. I believe that both girls are physically attracted to Jin Woo, but they are actually truly in love with each other. What drives the conflict in their relationship is not only how far they drift from each other when their realities do not align with their ideals, but also the mutual possessiveness for each other. One scene that strongly propels this narrative is when the two reunite in their mid-late twenties. During a coincidental run-in with Jin Woo, Mi So discovers that her boyfriend/boss unalived himself and wasted all of their money before his death. Heartbroken and bankrupt, Mi So ends up living with Jin Woo and the two rekindle their "attraction" for each other. When Ha-Eun catches them living together, she angrily locks Jin Woo out of his apartment and confronts a drunken Mi Soo in the bathroom. Initially, it seems like Ha Eun is upset that her best friend and lover are having an affair. But, we realize that its so much more than that when Ha Eun emotionally confesses that before any men came into their lives, she was the one who loved Ha Eun. Ha Eun loves Mi So so much that it was absolutely devastating for her that she was kept in the dark and replaced by Jin Woo during a critical period of Mi So's life.
Though Soulmate has a fairly simple premise and short runtime , analyzing and discussing the film can be an arduous task because of its unconventional approach to storytelling and the many layers that are interspersed within it. However, if there was something that captivated my attention, it was the role of art in the film and the larger role it plays in shaping the protagonists' behavior. Both women are artists, but their styles are vastly different. Ha Eun relishes in hyperrealism and looks at it as a form of emotional truth seeking. We see this first during her first date with Jin Woo when she tells him that she has to draw him in order to confirm her feelings. Additionally, when she discovers that Jin Woo does not view her artistic passions as more than a hobby, she realizes that marrying him will also result in her being detached from reality, particularly her true identity. It was perhaps the first wake up call of many that ultimately led her to leaving him at the altar later in the movie.
On the other hand, like Mi So, her artistic style is eccentric and fantastical. Her work is more abstract and likened to that of Picasso with her often opting to offer more distorted versions of her subjects instead of making them appear as real as possible. Mi So adopts a similar approach to life as we see her often resorting to fabricating her life rather than telling those around her what her true circumstances her. As a young adult, Mi So sends optimistic and exciting life updates to Ha Eun in the form of letters but fails to include the mundanity and difficulty of her working an assortment of part time jobs or that the boyfriend she left to Seoul with ended up cheating on her. For me, it was even questionable if she truly traveled to Europe and that the gifts she brought were from there ( but I could have truly misunderstood this). Mi So's fabrications take a life of their own after she adopts Ha-Eun and Jin Woo's daughter after Ha-Eun's death from childbirth. This is seen in not only how the screenplay shifts from alternate timelines- one that is fake and one that is real, but also in how Mi Soo hides Ha Eun's death from the rest of the world not only by hiding the fact that she died but also by completing Ha-Eun's half finished portrait and submitting the very work she was questioned about in the first scene under her friend's name.
I don't think its far to brand Mi So as a liar and a con-artist, but I think her actions reflect her desperately clinging to and nurturing the existence of Ha-Eun even if she may no longer be physically present. It made me really think about who a soulmate really is and how the souls are always interconnected even when their bodies may not- much like the reference made in the film to how a shadow is always present when the sun is around.
Soulmate is one of those films that feels like art that needs to be treasured in a museum. It's meant to move its viewers rather than entertain them.

I have got to get over my grudge against face filters or face-tuning or whatever it's called when they blur the actor's face so their skin is completely smooth and texture free and very pale and has no dimensionality.
I'm watching Light On Me, and I'm charmed by all the characters, but I keep getting distracted by the fact that none of them look like human beings. grrr. Like, it kind of fits the comic book tropey-ness of the story, but I still would prefer to see their god danged faces.
(Fun fact: Shin Woo's actor's face is the reason I started watching Light On Me in the first place. Kang Yoo Soek has a small part in Beyond Evil, and within a minute of his appearance on screen I was like, who is THAT???👀, and immediately went to MDL to see what else he was in. Turns out he was in a BL! so I decided it was finally time to check this one out. Maybe I'm just resentful about them hiding his face from me. On the other hand, Beyond Evil and Light On Me are from the same year, and he looks a decade younger in the latter, so I guess the filtering helps with that? idk, I'd prefer everyone's real faces. But I realize that with this, as in many things, I am not the target audience.)
My thoughts on Light On Me so far (im on episode 3 oops, actually it was 4): It feels like a high school romance comic book aimed at 12 year olds come to life. Which is not at all a criticism! But the aesthetic—bright, flat lighting, wide open spaces, saturated pastels and primary colors, the aforementioned face filtering—along with the trope filled, bare bones nature of the story give it this artificial feel. I don't read comic books, manga or manwha of any genre, so I could be wrong in this comparison, but it does tell like it exists outside of the real world in the same way that Disney Channel kids shows do (though not in the same world.) The characters, so far, don't feel like they exist outside of the story, not shallow, exactly, just that the rest of their lives and relationships are a vague blur, and the initial conflict—Shin Woo doesn't want Tae Kyung to join the student council!—feels like the sort of artificially induced high stakes of a kid's show. The—gasp—pratfall with a dildo.
I probably sound judgmental, but that's partly because super fluffy shows aren't my thing in general, and partly because I'm in a weird mood right now where even the real world doesn't feel all that real to me, but I reiterate, this is not a criticism. The show is creating a certain feel to tell a certain story, and (so far at least) it's doing it effectively.
And I am intrigued by the story, and the characters! Tae Kyung who has been convinced by the wise teacher to try making friends. Da On, the student president who is so kind and can't say no to anyone. Shiwoon, the class clown who can see what's happening but won't get involved. So Hee, the girl from the sister school, persistent in her three year (!) crush. And of course tsundere Shin Woo, possibly with some internalized homophobia, and who we know, based on Shiwoon's hints and the laws of Romance Tropes, must have a crush on the new boy and can't handle it.
The taundere seme is a trope I love when it works well, and loathe when it's bad, and I think it's working here for me because Tae Kyung is such a weirdo. He's no blushing maiden uke, he's blunt and doesn't care that's he's awkward, and still not sure if he wants to even bother with other human beings. It makes Shin Woo's attraction to him more specific and real, and makes me curious to see how their dynamic develops.
So even though the character don't feel anchored to any reality outside of what we see on screen, in the small slice of a tv world they do exist in they seem complex and worth getting to know.
(They also intrigue me enough that part of me wants to see these same characters and conflicts, but framed in more gritty realism style, like that of Weak Hero Class One. I think there's enough there to make it work! But that's more about my personal taste than anything else.)
edit: not that Weak Hero Class One is exactly realistic. But it's a different kind of fairy tale atmosphere. One that sometimes gets called "gritty realism."

Young Woo broke up with Jun Ho because she thought he would be lonley with her. The paralells drawn between her and Jung Myeong Seok make me think this is possible, but there is a distict difference between the two that makes me hopeful.
We learn that Jung Myeong Seok mostly paid attention to his interests. This is true of Young Woo also, she spends most of her time concerned about work and whales. Jun Ho fits into this because they work together and they have their whale talk lunch dates everyday, but I was just trying to think about what we know about Jun Ho himself and I can barely come up with anything. The other characters we know. Soo Yeon is blind dating unsuccessfully, Min Woo is an insecure social climber, Myeon Soek has his health issues, and even the CEO has ulterior motives in hiring Young Woo, but Jun Ho? All we really know about him is that he’s really sweet and supportive with Young Woo and does his best to be a good boyfriend. As a person on his own, I can’t really tell who he is. Does Young Woo really know who he is or is she caught up in her own interests and how he supports them?
Jung Myeong Seok’s wife left after years of coming in second in her marriage and he realized after all that time that he was wrong for the way he treated her. Though he knew this, at the end of ep 14, he was too cowardly to tell her his true feelings. This is the main difference between Jung Myeong Seok and Young Woo which makes me hopeful. She realized after a short amount of dating that she might make Jun Ho lonely and instead of staying with him anyway (or talking to him about it like she should have done) she broke up with him so he wouldn’t be lonely. She proved that she wanted what was best for him and she was willing to act against her own insterests to make that happen.
Young Woo is definitley still learning how to be in a relationship and how to communicate with a partner, but she is trying to learn and act in a way that will be best for both people in the relationship.
Now, they just need to actually talk to each other in ep15 so they can ride into the sunset in ep16 and then I can sleep peacefully.
