I am so glad the new kdramas are bringing back the specific brand of loser men. You know which brand I'm talking about. The Ahn "min min" Minhyuk brand of loser men and I'm loving it. The "I worship this goddess and I'm so in love with her and I can't believe I get to love her. Oh my gods I love her so much" brand of loser men. And we're being fed so well with lovely runner, love next door, no gain no love, my demon, Cinderella at 2am, Hierarchy, Midnight Romance in Hagwon, doctor slump, Queen of tears, welcome to samdal-ri and even good partner (yes it's one sided but the dedication and yuri's couple too).

We need more fictional loser men who worship women to satiate our eldest independent daughter desires.

[moon-yean]

congratulations!

Are the writers going to do us like that??

Jin I Soo and Lee Ganghyun go from bickering like kids to comforting each other at their lowest. Ganghyun goes from telling him to go home to texting him to come to the station because they got a new case. Ganghyun takes Jin I Soo to her comfort place so that he can clear his mind after learning the truth about his mother's death. I Soo saying "You trust your father, and I trust you" to Lee Ganghyun when she was on probation and desperately wanted to prove that her father was innocent and that he was framed. Ganghyun scolding him because he put himself in danger and I soo trying not to repeat that. And most importantly what about the fact when they almost drowned together while trying to arrest Bori?? What are you gon say about Jin I soo cupping her face and telling her to believe in herself when she told him that she couldn't swim ??? Carrying her over the water the entire time she was unconscious while he was struggling to breathe and stay over the water himself. Are the writers really going to do us like that?? T_T

"LEE GANGHYUN WAKE UP"

P.S : Jin I Soo being jealous over Park Junyoung and Lee Ganghyun and then asking Junyoung if they shared any feelings or ever dated and then getting flustered on being asked if he liked Ganghyun was the cutest thing everrr.

They're doing it!!! They're really doing it!! Hyun Sang wanting to rush over to celebrate Yoon Jong's victory really melts my heart 🥹

Thinking about old men suffering hurts but thinking about how the old men unwillingly watched their children suffer and couldn't do anything about it HURTS MORE

GYEONGSEONG CREATURE SEASON 1 PART 2

Part 1 review and character breakdown are here and here respectively.

Wow, this was such a roller-coaster. It was everything I expected it to be and then some. Let’s get into it. As always, beware of spoilers.

To start, let me congratulate myself on guessing correctly that it was indeed Nawol-daek who gave up Tae-sang’s mother’s name. The way it was shot and edited actually made it pretty clear.

I also guessed that the threat would widen but I didn’t anticipate that there would be a massive time-jump between seasons 1 and 2. That actually raises so many questions which we’ll get to later. For now, I am very happy with the way the season ended. The show actually made it very clear just how things would go and in that respect, the foreshadowing was done well.

The pacing of the show is absolutely amazing. Having seen Part 1 when it first came out and then Part 2 just a few minutes ago, I am still not complaining that they decided to split the season. I think it may actually have been a good idea because that division was like the calm before the actual storm and I think that brief respite was necessary. When your characters are in a constant state of peril, it can sometimes make the audience disconnect because it almost becomes monotonous, the stakes no longer matter. Here, they definitely did.

The writing was also super tight with no fluff and this surprised me, once it got dark, it didn’t really try to lighten the mood with levity which a lot of other shows might have done. I think that also ties in with the subject matter and the gravity of just what they were showing. The brutality is ever present and for the perpetrators it was matter of routine which made it all the more horrifying. But when you view the other person as sub-human, it becomes easy to justify your actions irrespective of how heinous they may be.

Part 1’s focus was wider in terms of the number of characters we were introduced to and once Part 2 got going, that focus shrank so it only paid attention to Tae-sang, Chae-ok, her father, General Kato and Yukiko Maeda. The others were still there but they were no longer central to the plot and that was okay.

I admire Tae-sang’s drive to protect the people he cares about. His character went through perhaps most growth, starting from indifference to putting his life on the line multiple times to save Chae-ok. He didn’t have to do that considering he met her not too long ago but he does it anyway. He also doesn’t try to hold her back (as he tried in Part 1) and I liked that he keeps telling her that they both have to live, he gives her hope when there really didn’t seem to be any.

Chae-ok was still an absolute badass. There is a problem that a lot of dramas have where they start off with a kick-ass female character but as you get closer to the climax, she gets de-powered to prop up the male lead. I was so happy that they didn’t do that here. Chae-ok is nothing if not persistent, no matter how many times she gets knocked down, she still gets back up. There is a fire within her that nothing could put out, you could try to intimidate her but it wouldn’t get you very far.

Chae-ok and her father were always going to go back to the hospital, there was no way they would leave Seishin there at the mercy of those psychopaths. It was also always clear that her father would be the one who wouldn’t make it out. I think that when he realised just what they had done to her, he lost something within him. Death would have been better than what she had been subjected to.

The primary focus in the show was always Chae-ok and her mother and the bond between them and it wasn’t random, it all paid off in the end. It was the memories of Chae-ok that reawakened Seishin’s humanity, made her more than a mindless killer. Her final gift to her daughter was the Najin so she could live. In the end, Seishin was finally free from her tormentors, in giving up the Najin, she died but she died knowing that her baby was alive.

I had a feeling that Chae-ok would become like a hybrid form of the monster. We saw that with her mother, she was different from the other people who were infected with the Najin. She still had control of herself and if not for the anthrax, I think she would have managed to retain her humanity. Considering how Seishin reacted, it would make sense that Chae-ok would also be more in control than say Myeong-ja for instance. It’s also why Kato was so curious about her and tried to infect her.

Kato took Myeong-ja’s baby and that child is definitely a hybrid. If they have any hope of defeating it, they would a hybrid of their own. But with the time-jump, I don’t know how Maeda and Kato will figure in Season 2 since it seems to take place with a considerable time jump (in the 80s perhaps?). Unless they’ve been experimenting and have figured out a way to live longer. Especially Maeda, considering her burn injuries, I’m curious to see what form she will take in Season 2.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions like - How does the time-jump make sense? - What is the history between Maeda and Seishin? They hinted at it in Part 2 but didn’t give any definitive answers. Did Seishin cause the death of someone close to Maeda, who was it, how did they know each other? - How is Ho-jae related to the Tae-sang? - What is the meaning of the scar on Ho-jae’s back? - What did Chae-ok do all these years? - How do her powers differ from Seishin or even Myeong-ja?

I may get into some of these questions because there are answers we can glean from the show. But I’ll make a separate post about that so that this one doesn’t become obnoxiously long.

This show was an epic ride from start to finish and while it didn’t give us the conventional happy ending some expected, the ending it did give us is excellent. It sets up the next season perfectly while still giving a good closure to season 1. I can’t wait to what season 2 brings us.

Sneak peek season 2

Hey,

So I’m currently still busy writing for season 2 and I have to say it’s hard! I don’t even know if this sneak peek down below will be included or not!

I have so many drafts for different storylines, but in the end, I get stuck and can’t seem to write more.

Like, season 2 was a mess with new characters and we didn’t see much of the old characters except for Eun-yu, but that doesn’t help me because I get stuck with that as well.

I’m just going to wait for season 3 to drop and hope I can have a clear storyline, but until then here is a little sneak peek of what I have.

It’s just a draft so there can be some spelling mistakes and stuff.

I felt my body move from the ground being lifted by someone or something. My body was completely limp against the person's chest. I wanted to say something, but the only sounds that came out of my mouth were little groans or my attempts at making noise.

Every time I wanted to open my eyes blurriness covered them. I only saw dark silhouettes around me giving me a bigger headache than I already had.

At some point, I just gave up and closed my eyes going completely unconscious.

The next time I woke up my head was still pounding. I don't know how long has passed, but everything still hurts.

My vision was still the same as before, so I think that there hasn't past much time. The healing hadn't kicked fully in and my body was still struggling with all the wounds.

It was so bad that it felt like I had a fever. My clothes were sticking to my body while sweat was rolling down my forehead.

When I tried to look around it seemed to me that I was in a room. I had no idea who was here or who had brought me here.

Someone was kneeling beside me busy looking at my stomach where the wound was.

Who is this?

I felt them move my body before thet began to wrap what I thought was a bandage around my stomach and back so that it would stop the bleeding.

"E...Eun-hyuk?" I mutter out thinking it was him seeing that the person was busy looking at my wounds.

Did he find me?

Was it him who helped me?

The person stopped for a second before continuing with what he was doing.

Maybe it wasn't him.

But who would be helping me? I don't think someone random would just help a person they saw dying on the ground let alone be able to fight a monster like that.

When the person was done wrapping the bandage around me he gently let me lay down on the soft surface.

I think it was just some blankets on top of each other, but it was definitely softer than the ground.

I could feel the person stand up, but before they could fully stand up I grabbed their arm.

"S..st...ay, pl..es.." I tried to form words, but they came all out in stutters.

I just didn't want to be alone. I have no idea where I was or who this was, but just the thought of being alone made me scared especially seeing I couldn't defend myself in this state.

The person paused a second before I could feel them grabbing my hand. It felt familiar, but I just couldn't think of who it could be.

It did bring me comfort, so I just closed my eyes again going back into the darkness.

When I woke up again I finally could see better. My body was stiff when I wanted to move and together with the dryness in my mouth I could tell that a full day had passed.

Slowly I sat up and took a look around. I was in a tiny room. It had a toilet in the corner and a small window at the top of the wall just beneath the ceiling.

Where the hell am I?

I threw the blankets from my body seeing that the bandage was still there covered in blood. My wound felt like it was fully healed.

I mean I didn't feel it anymore so I think it's gone. Slowly I stood up and began to make my way to the door.

I want to get out of here or at least find the person who helped me. A frown came to my face when I tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge.

"What the..."

Again I tried to open it, but no luck. They really locked me up here. I let out a sigh turning around in the small room. My eyes went to the window.

It was high, but if I jumped I could reach it and pull myself up. I wouldn't be able to crawl through it because it wasn't big, but at least I could see where I was.

Here it goes.

Jumping as high as I could I managed to grab onto the edge of the window. It was surprisingly easy to pull myself up.

Thank you monster strength.

When I looked outside I could only see grass and rocks. The grass was too high for me to see something else.

Great.

This isn't helping me any further. I let out a deep breath and jumped back down. Who would lock me up in here?

Why would someone save me and then lock me up? I looked around trying to find something I could use to escape, but there was nothing there.

The makeshift bed of blankets and a bottle of water was sitting next to it, something I hadn't noticed before.

My tongue licked my dry lips knowing I had to drink, but what if it was poison?

Would I die if I drank it?

I don't think I could die from poison. I would be sick, maybe, but dead not really.

Besides I need to drink something sooner or later. Who knows how long it would take for the person to come back? I took the bottle from the ground before taking a seat on the bed.

I have so many questions.

Who or what helped me, why, where am I, do they know I'm a monster or do they think they just saved a human?

I guess I will know when the person comes back. I mean I can try to escape further.

Maybe I could break the door with my strength or mind, but I kinda want to see who helped me.

What if it is really Eun-hyuk?

He has a history of locking people up.

No, seriously maybe he thought that locking me up while I was unconscious would protect me.
