I don't think we as a society talk enough about Gaon who's reaction to learning Yohan was dead was to simply try to bomb himself and his teacher

[kdramastrix]

I have. Something to talk about and its very very VERY important.

We know that last scene of TDJ where its just PEAK yearning but can we PLEASE appreciate the micro-expressions that passed over both Yohan & Gaon's faces when they faced each other DIRECTLY after a MONTH (if im not wrong) of that whole blowing up fiasco + Yohan's arrest before that??????? Because my GOD.

So we see Gaon call Yohan by his Full Government Name™ (which wasn't very wise for a declared dead enemy of the state who is ALSO wanted but we'll let it pass for romanticisms' sake) and look at his face. His face is one of a scared man. He's not hesitant but he is afraid of how Yohan views him after what transpired between them.

In turn, Yohan looks back and well.

He is also somewhat apprehensive. They're both testing each other & the waters they're in. Although Yohan doesn't have a revenge vendetta shackling him down anymore, Gaon, on the other hand, has tremendous stuff to unpack. They're carefully, if not gently, evaluating the distance between them.

And then, Yohan gives a clear sign that he holds nothing against Gaon. An open arm, an open invitation. To join him? Maybe. To decide what to do with them? Perhaps. It's vague but it's also clear that Yohan is done manipulating Gaon & that he has left the ball in Gaon's court.

Then come the positive changes. With Yohan's green signal, Gaon is somewhat relieved but also incredibly guilt-ridden. I think these frames speak for themselves.

The wet smile & the eye crinkles. He is so relieved to be in Yohan's good graces but also just looking at Yohan be his ever glowing self after serving his life's purpose.

Yohan. My dearest Yohan. Look at him. He's equally heart-broken to be seeing Gaon like this, to be leaving him behind but that little nod he does???? Like he's made a decision that he needs to stick with for the betterment of Gaon???? That's what truly gets me. It's so clear the distance between them is hurting him but he also knows that it's necessary to give Gaon space & time, to unravel & to explore things on his own. Perhaps another assumption on his part because who truly knows what Gaon wants except Gaon himself?

Then it's a brief look exchanged. As he turns, giving Gaon one last reassuring smile as he turns and leaves behind one of the most important people to him.

And gaon watches. Look at his micro-expressions here. Look at his breathing. His sagging shoulders. His eyes. His wet smile. His balled hands. His tiny nods.

He also thinks this is necessary but you can so clearly see its taking every bit of nerve & fiber in him to stay rooted to his place & not chase after Yohan. He's DELIBERATELY not taking a single step towards Yohan. He thinks he doesn't deserve to chase after him, that hes content to see Yohan: alive, well and so utterly free. That's all that matters.

I would genuinely like to appreciate both jinyoung and jisung for their acting bcs they NAILED the raw emotions needed for this absolutely stunning yet gut wrenching scene. It's so difficult to convey such complex emotions through such little means yet they did it to PERFECTION. They both gave their characters LIFE. And for that i will always be grateful bcs i dont think anyone else could've done Kang Yohan and Kim Gaon the way they did.

Kang Yohan inspired by Poe's "The Raven".

My man's just swaggering around with a gunshot wound in his abdomen, bleeding out profusely, and still refuses to give up on looking good with absolutely fabulous hair.

the thing that will always stick to me from the devil judge is how polar opposites yohan and gaon are and yet — they stand for the same things. it's just a load of misunderstandings, miscommunication, and yohan's past trauma.

and yet, in those moments when yohan has let his guard down enough for gaon to peek past the angry boy persona he has, the man is absolutely whipped.

he watches yohan with so much fondness in his eyes, eyes crinkled up, a full blown smile on his face as he just watches yohan?? truly?? be?? himself??

in my mind, gaon ditches the rotten system and goes with gaon to live in switzerland and they have their happily ever after with elijah, komi.

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

Kim Gaon: *is kidnapped by his boss and held prisoner in his gothic mansion for days on end without access to his phone* Kim Gaon, gothic heroine and virgo: this is normal, this is how normal bosses behave

[frances-and-the-moon]

The way Yo-Han drinks & laughs with the people who tried to gain his brother's wealth, effectively killing him and injuring his niece, all while plotting his revenge to have them all killed in one blow - with Ga-On staring with disappointed, incredulous eyes from the other side of the table, totally clueless to Yo-Han's past and his plan for revenge, thinking that he's actually having fun with them - all while Yo-Han has just saved his ass from being these chaebols' target due to his exhaustingly rigid lawful moral compass and is basically showing him the hidden corruption of high society has a je ne sais quoi that makes this scene kinda ironic and eerily foreboding

do you think it's good to feel like I'm lying here, swimming in memories?

i think they could've been besties but the canon world & kang yohan were too scared of their joint slay & potential bullying

[not-another-mechanical-heart]

Probably already done but well, I had time at 3AM to do this lol

Gaon is clearly the FL role even if this isn’t a typical k-romance drama, in our eyes, this WAS a romance drama, with twists of betrayal, deceit, and loyalty all mixed in to create: The Devil Judge.

So as the main romantic interest, go save your male lead from dying, Kim Gaon.
