Gun's Tragedy
To me, the tragedy of Gun as the Genius in Nurture is this. While he genuinely enjoyed nurturing, he was always, always meant to lose or tear down what he himself built up.
He gradually lost all of those meaningful connections with his former protégés or disciples: Eli, Jake, Olly, Daniel, and even Crystal. Strangely, to me, the loss of his connection with Crystal feels more heartbreaking because it happened offscreen and felt so sudden and hard-hitting. What? He didn't even get to keep her as a friend because eventually her inheritance would be his?
And weren't Daniel and Crystal the only two among these protégés who still called him "brother", after all the others had left and/or died?
These losses, and the sad loss of his connection with Goo, were the results of his tainted ties with Charles Choi. Those ties gradually robbed him of all shreds of humanity that he still had.
And so Gun was called a Ghost, not purely because he was a terrifying presence, I think, but also because he lived like one.
What a bitter price to pay.

Guess what is dropping on Thursday?!? After over two years of radio silence?!
Yes!!! Indeed it’s Soldier Amai or, as it’s now predictably titled for international release, Fighting for Love!!!
I had a mutual who was also super interested in this but I can’t remember who it was but if you do see it, scream with me!!!
The plot sounds awesome (female general!!! Entangled with a crown prince and an enemy general!!!) and mmm that cast! Crystal Zhang is one of my faves and deserves a better career than what she has (and I can actually buy her as a general which is more than I can say for some other FLs) and Wang Ruichang is likewise ridiculously underrated!
Now, whether it will be coherent who even knows - it’s 34 eps but was back way when rumored for 60 - the last time I saw such a huge cut was Renascence cut from 70 to 36 and it was incoherent as fuck, but at least it’s not gonna moulder in the vault.
PS I love that it’s gonna premiere in less than two days and there is still no trailer. For a drama made in 2021. Oh, c-ent!
