Century of Love - Ep 10 Finale
This will be a general summary of the series.
Overall, I really liked Century of Love, except for most of the last 3 episodes, which unfortunately exceeded my tolerance for the soap opera genre, which is high, but also has its limits 😄 There was also too much crying, I don't like watching it and there's nothing I can do about it..
The plot also seemd a bit dull, replaced by an excess of expressive feelings.
And that's all the criticism, apart from that the series met my expectations 😉
DaouOffroad proved that they are one of the best couples in the BL industry, their natural chemistry has been maintained since LiT and they carried this story, this romance, and made the love believable. Apart from that, they are simply incredibly attractive and watching them is a real pleasure
Daou as a 100-year-old man was totally believable, conveying this specific vibe of older, grumpy guys. He was just as convincing when he cried, writhed in pain, as he was totally in love with Vee and discovered the joy of sex 😏
Offroad as a slightly broken young man struggling with adversity, poverty, his grandmother's illness, loneliness, who still retains his kindness and optimism was also very convincing and wonderful. It was obvious that San would fall in love with him, who wouldn't
special mention to Chibi San, what a kid 💯
the other characters (San's family, Tao, Ton and Third) were really nice, I especially liked how supportive they were of San and Vee and their genuine devotion to them. It's also good that they didn't make Third a jealous villain
Ju is one of the most wonderful girls I've ever seen in any production, EVER, but then again I just love the vibe of the Gen Alpha girls, so no surprise that she was my fav 💖
the humor, lightness, funniness, camp of this series was really good
I'm absolutely delighted that the series overall ignored the reincarnation issue and went in the direction I wanted, which was San falling in love with a specific person and when he made a choice, he didn't look back. And Vee was just Vee, no Vad in him, in his memories, his personality. San, Vee and Vad were all DIFFERENT PEOPLE
I like that the series showed that you can fall madly in love once. And then you can fall madly in love a second time.
I liked that when San fell in love with Vee, neither he nor the series introduced any drama with the "choice" between Vee and Vad. San only had Vee in his heart and only wanted him. 10/10, no bullshit, only true love
San and Vee stayed in character until the end. San "nobly and chivalrously" wanted to spare his beloved pain, Vee of course thought that it was all his fault and San was avoiding him because he didn't want to see him. Was San's behavior irritating? Of course, but just as it normally annoys me, here it surprisingly suited San, BESIDES the series showed that this was the wrong approach with Third's words and resolved it without stupid scenes and unnecessary drama and fight. Likewise, their reconciliation was very delicate and kind, as they are
San and Vee barely holding it all together, their last night together - it was very beautiful and moving. Such beauty, raw emotions, despair and nobility are rarely shown in BL series, but it also works best in costume series and soap operas. I also liked how they spent the last night showing that physical contact is not just sex, that it is something important in a relationship and is used to convey feelings
we got a happy ending and their nice scenes together, when they are happy and free
I can only hope that Daou and Offroad will get the opportunity to star in a well-written and directed series in a nice atmosphere on the set, and that we will see more of Pond and the actress playing Juu and her sweet face 💖
Thank you all for the nice time spent together experiencing this lovely i fun series and the awesomeness of DaouOffroad 💖💖💖💖💖💖 See you soon in their next project!

Yuuta vs. Yuuji - A Costume/Character Analysis
❗Disclaimer❗ I have only watched up to Season 2 Ep. 19 & JJK 0 before writing this analysis. So, all of this will be from the knowledge that I have prior Shibuya. Additionally, for the sake of argument, we'll be focusing on their Jujutsu High uniforms. & Last but not least, all thoughts, ideas, & opinions are my own.
Before making any comparisons between Yuuji or Yuuta, I'd like to lay down the baseline for Jujutsu High students' uniforms.
Tumblr media
Noticeably, the uniforms for the students tend to be all black/dark blue - with the exception of Panda. Each student's uniform is tailored to them and fitted in a way that fits their personality, need for movement, comfortability, etc. However, the uniform remains the same solid color across the board.
In fact, this is even reinforced when the viewer is taken back in time to witness Gojo's school days with Shoko and Geto. The classic uniform worn by the Jujutsu High students appears to have carried on from then until now. (See Picture Below👇🏻)
Tumblr media
Yuuta:
Tumblr media
I'd like to start with Yuuta because chronologically, he came before Yuuji and I believe setting him up first paves the way to speak a bit more in-depth about Yuuji.
Yuuta is set up as our hero from the get-go and we can see that through his uniform.
Typically, the color white is related to being "pure," "holy," "set apart," or "good."
At first, this seems counter-intuitive to what we know about Yuuta's backstory. He cursed a childhood friend who died and has been following him around as a very high-level curse ever since. How could that be any of the things associated with the color white? However, as we get to learn Yuuta's story - these words begin to relate to him time and time again.
First, he is set apart. He's the outsider. He's not from the Jujutsu world and only enters it when he's merely 16 years old. Whereas Inumaki is the child of a Jujutsu clan, Maki is a child of one of the most well-known Jujutsu clans, and Panda is quite literally a cursed doll. Thus, placing all 3 of his peers in a position of being born and raised inside this world. Second, we begin to discover time and time again that Yuuta is good. He has a kind soul who simply wants to help others and believes in his peers. He's gentle and wants to protect those who he cares about. Third, while he did curse Rika, it was from a pure emotion - love. Love is rarely seen as a "bad" thing in the world and while Yuuta unintentionally cursed her, it was out of a pure and naive mindset that the curse was accidentally enacted.
Which leads us to - "holy."
Definition via Google: dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred.
This one lands on a personal theory of mine. Yuuta is the hero and has been set aside as the holy one via Gojo. Why do I say this?
Gojo fought for Yuuta to not be executed. (JJK 0)
Gojo will sometimes get involved with customizing his student's uniforms (Season 1 Ep. 3)
Gojo directly informs the elders that he will always side with Yuuta. ("If it comes to that...don't forget, I'm on Okkotsu's side." JJK 0)
Gojo believes that Yuuta is one of the few students who could someday surpass him. (Season 1 Ep. 6)
I believe that Yuuta was picked and set aside by Gojo to potentially fulfill something that even the audience might be unaware of at this point in time. We hear and see time and time again Yuuta being mentioned even when he's not around and that Gojo places a lot of faith in the student. Additionally, the teacher seems to place a different type of protection over Yuuta than he does for Yuuji.
Yuuji:
Tumblr media
Yuuji has a uniform that closely resembles the typical style and color palette as the rest of the Jujutsu High students, but has a few pieces that set him apart.
Yuuji has a red hood and red wrists accompanying his otherwise generic uniform.
I believe the placement of these customized pieces along with the color red itself could be a very intentional decision in regard to Yuuji's character and his story inside of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Typically, the color red is associated with anger, power, and passion.
Starting with the hood. I believe this added piece could be a sort of representation of Sukuna being inside Itadori's head. While Sukuna is a curse and likely resides within all of Yuuji's body, it is likely widely understood that Yuuji lives with Sukuna subconsciously at all times. Thus, alluding to the hood that never covers Yuuji's head, but is always there, ready to be pulled up at any moment's notice. In the same way, Sukuna does not cloud Yuuji every moment but is always lurking in the background, waiting for an opening to surface.
I believe the wrist holes also point toward the hands of Sukuna as well. This could be in regards to both the fingers Yuuji continues to swallow and the way Sukuna uses Yuuji's body when he's in control. As a curse that used to have four hands, it's clear that they were important to him; and so, it's an interesting highlight on Yuuji's uniform knowing that.
However, aside from the hood and wrists, Itadori wears the typical uniform colors; which is likely there to symbolize that he's "just another normal student."
So, while those few things do set him apart from the others - it could be theorized that they're there not to set him apart as Yuuji but instead what resides inside of him - thus, Sukuna.
Tumblr media
My Personal Theory/Opinions:
I believe Yuuji is important as the main character. However, I believe his costume tells a story that the audience might not necessarily enjoy.
While he has a little flair and is set apart from the rest of the students due to his pop of color and uniform style, it's definitely a reminder that Sukuna is what sets him apart - unlike Yuuta.
Yuuta is what sets Yuuta apart as he's made a name for himself on his merit alone. Thus, giving him such a drastically different uniform compared to any of the other students makes sense. Whereas Yuuji is very much an outsider on borrowed time/magic - making him a bit more "normal" in this regard.
I believe both characters have enough "differences" to set them apart as "important players" in the overarching story of Jujutsu Kaisen. I simply wanted to sit down and enjoy breaking down the potential implications/signals that could be coming from the way they are both costumed as these "important players."
Tumblr media
💭Final Thoughts:
It's my personal belief that costumes/uniforms/clothing and colors play an important role in telling stories. They're good ways to signal information to an audience without having to spell everything out. As well as being good ways to subtly hint at something about a character, story, or plotline.
Hope you all enjoyed it! It was really fun breaking this down and theorizing the implications of the colors, customization, etc! It's really exciting to think about how these two mirror each other and complement and contrast one another. Quite frequently, I find myself thinking of them as two sides of the same coin and it's just boundless theories, strings, and ideas being pulled together to see how they relate both in characterization and fitting into the plot.
I'm sure there will be more analysis to come! Just be on the lookout!

ranking every off jumpol’s roles
so I’ve wanted to do this for a while! as the tumblr off queen who has seen practically all of his roles, I feel qualified to do this even though of course this is 1000% biased.
anyways first of all, the roles I haven’t seen (if I get to see them one day I will of course add them to the ranking):
little big dream: it’s only half subbed...
wifi society: the horror home. it’s sadly not subbed
love songs: still single: not subbed either
bangkok love stories: keep love. again not subbed
cat tv radio s2: not subbed or findable anywhere...
okay now let’s get into the meat of this random ass post lmao, the actual ranking!!! I will take three things into account: the showcasing of his acting, the writing of his character, and the cuteness/lovely factor of the character
1. sean (not me)
Tumblr media
so after years of khai being my favorite character of all time & specifically my favorite character of all time... he has to share the spotlight with sean. I’m literally incapable of choosing my favorite between sean & khai bc they’re both so special to me in incredibly different ways, BUT... the reason why I’m listing sean first is bc I do believe not me to be a more important and better executed show overall. sean truly is also undoubtedly off’s best acting performance, on top of being one of the best acting I’ve ever seen in thai dramas PERIOD. the writing for sean is incredibly layered & he has so much depth to his character, while all the struggles & pain he goes through makes him a character you can’t help but root for, which really departs from other off characters that are less overwhelmingly likable. the writing of the show truly makes him the most special character that has graced my screen with khai, and words cannot express how much I’m happy & grateful this role & character exist!
acting: 1000/ 10. writing: 12/10. cuteness: 10/10
1. khai (theory of love & the tol special)
Tumblr media
listen, khai is not only the best character off got to play, he’s the best character PERIOD. now I know he’s extremely polarizing but let me explain why I adore him. despite being meant to be hated on the first sight, khai’s first introduction is him being adorable and sending third a kiss as well as a ‘love you.’ we also see him constantly interrupting third when he films his reviews. this introduction scene establishes three things: khai is self-centered, khai is quirky & cute, & khai is loving. and these character traits are only gonna expand during the rest of the show. khai is this kind of intensely flawed characters who are just trying their best. at first he comes off as an accidental fuckboy: he’s attracted to many women who all pursue him. he dates them & then realizes they’re not meant for him (meaning he’s a terrible boyfriend & them complaining about it annoys him so he breaks it off.) and the circle of fuckboyery continues. but it’s never shown that khai does it with any ill-intent. it’s only when he decides to knowingly become a fuckboy who only has sex bc he’s tired of break ups that a more cruel side of him appears, only to disappear quickly as khai falls in love with third.  for me I never hated khai even one second, from the first ep to the last bc his bad actions were compensated by him being a dumbass & doing them without ill-intent. also he has the character development of the decade. and that’s what I love about him, he’s incredibly flawed from the beginning to the end yet those flaws do evolve towards a much softer, understanding & generally better person.
acting: 10/ 10. writing: 10/10. cuteness: 1000/10
2. ten (cooking crush)
Tumblr media
if you asked me which off character I’d want to date, I would answer ten without any hesitation lol. he is like the ONLY off character who doesn’t have any red flag, and also the glasses make him even cuter <3 ten is just... such a cutie. he’s nerdy but also confident, respectful but also thirsty af, and probably the most DOWN BAD, loyal boyfriend ever (after maybe sean in his heartbroken era lol.) ten is just SUCH a good love interest and is not afraid to be a little ridiculous for love. he carried cooking crush & is literally the cutest bean, I love him so much! I’m so so so happy off got to portray him :)
acting: 9/10. writing: 9/10. cuteness: 12/10
3. krathing (girl next room)
Tumblr media
krathing was MADE for off. because while I’m sure off can slay any type of role, it is certain that he has such an ease with dorky but still emotionally intelligent & complex characters, probably because this is the kind of roles he’s been given the most. and krathing is so PERFECT for him: he’s over the top, hilarious, pining, jealous, has daddy issues... and it’s really a shame that richy rich isn’t a full length show because he could’ve been even more iconic if he was more developed. that being said his development on the show is already so good for only 4 episodes, and he’s the only love interest in girl next room that managed to be as interesting as the main character.
acting: 9/10. writing: 9/10. cuteness: 10/10
4. zen (fabulous 30)
Tumblr media
zen??? is lovely. he’s a huge piner, a dork, a bicon... he’s that kind of side character who steals the show super hard because he’s so much more interesting than the main one (sorry mond baby, forgive me). I also love that despite being a huge dork he still is highly intelligent and emotional.
acting: 9/10. writing: 8/10. cuteness: 10/10
5. mote (midnight motel)
mote is far from the off character who shines the most, but in a way off shines in that role the most bc he managed to play on the more subtles aspects of mote while obviously OWNING the funny & quirky parts of his character. it was also so pleasant to get a more morally gray character in such a well produced & executed show, and his performance was *chef’s kiss*!
Tumblr media
acting: 10/10. writing: 9/10. cuteness: 8/10
6. maetee (I’m tee me too)
Tumblr media
not to be shady & biased................. but being shady & biased lmao, he really was the best character of the whole show. he certainly was the funniest & the cutest, and I also feel like his storyline with his mom could’ve legit been turned into a much bigger drama bc it was really interesting? the acting was great, he was hot as always. the only thing I disliked was how they made him the ‘disgusting’ one with a lot of fart & poop jokes, which... can those die please? we’re not five anymore nor does this show cater to five years old. apart from that maetee is yet another proud bisexual character (don’t argue with me) & I love him. protect at all costs.
acting: 8/10. writing: 7/10. cuteness: 10/10
7. por (wolf)
Tumblr media
listen por was a fucking asshole........... yet such a loveable one??? like I truly believe off’s strength is making asshole characters into adorable ones bc I loved por sooooo much & was actually into his character development until it was ruined by the last few eps of the show. also off in glasses will always make me emo so por gains points for that!!!
acting: 8/10. writing: 6/10. cuteness: 10/10
8. plu (10 years ticket)
Tumblr media
I love plu so much, and I loved all three of his storylines, be it his grandma having dementia (which touched me especially since I went through the same thing), him being forced into an illegal business, & him being the third wheel in yet another love triangle yet handling it perfectly. off especially acted so perfectly as him, especially in the more emotional scenes, but... sorry but plu has no personality lol. outside of his storylines, he’s quite bland, which is why he’s not higher. still love my little bland boi tho <3
acting: 9/10. writing: 8/10. cuteness: 6/10.
9. pine (the jungle)
Tumblr media
pine is perhaps one of the most intriguing off characters, mostly due to how underdeveloped he is (despite being literally the most developed character of the show which says a lot lol.) pine is supposed to be a fuckboy, deals with some illegal stuff, etc. but is at his core a crazy loving and loyal character, who will protect the ones he loves fearlessly. off was also SUPER HOT in this, and while I wish this show had been better written and executed, off and his love story was undoutedly the best part of it.
acting: 8/10. writing: 7/10. cuteness: 8/10.
10. pick / rome (our skyy)
Tumblr media
looking back while khai is the role that made me a stan, our skyy is the show that showed me off’s potential. him acting as rome & playing in his strength of being adorable???? best decision ever! no but truly he is so cute as rome & I really thought he nailed the gun facial expressions. this was a really lovely role!
acting: 7/10. writing: 7/10. cuteness: 10/10
11. pat (46 days)
Tumblr media
so pat is by far off’s most mature character. like the dude is a doctor, he’s got his shit together, he’s calm & collected... the complete opposite of all of his other roles lmao. that being said, they still managed to slip in character traits that are in every off jumpol’s role like being a playboy, screaming a lot, being scared of ghosts... at this point they’re doing it on purpose lmao :’) but anyway pat is like... THE dream guy tbh, even him being a playboy is abandoned almost as soon as he enters the story. he’s loyal, mature, not pushy at all (a first for an off character lol), and frankly kinda the mvp of the whole show. I just love him a lot & I’m so glad off FINALLY got a role that changes from his others!
acting: 8/10. writing: 7/10. cuteness: 8/10
12. thawin (girl 2k)
Tumblr media
thawin is a role I’m very mixed about, bc on the one hand the show was really mediocre & the writing was really bad, but on the other hand I loved off in that role. first of all he’s SO FUCKING HOT IN A SUIT!!! but also VILLAIN OFF!!! I loved how perfect he seemed for most of the show, only to show his true colors in the end. and off did so well! he looks almost inhuman for most of the show bc thawin is trying so hard to look normal, but when he becomes mean his facial expressions were on POINT! so even though girl 2k is really not my fave show, I gotta be honest in saying that thawin, even though he’s again a player, a misogynist & just a shit person in general... kinda has a piece of my heart lol :’)
acting: 8/10. writing: 5/10. cuteness: 8/10.
13.  ron (fai sin chua)
Tumblr media
ron is probably off’s most fucked up up character. he’s a loser who struggles for money & was abandonned by his mother. he does drugs often & has a complicated relationship with his brother. by the end of the show, his life isn’t much better. he’s also not a very good person, being paid to seduce ploy’s character and ruin her reputation. though ron didn’t have many scenes, he’s a very sympathetic character & actually probably off’s character who gets the most sympathy from the writers, when usually let’s be honest they’re not very nice to him lol. and I really liked him. off was great at showing how lost & confused ron is and he had very cute moments. also his bff being played by arm was really cute & made me happy :) I’d say my biggest issue with this character is just how underdeveloped he is. his storyline is very complex & would have deserved to be the main one of the show, but it wasn’t. so he sadly ends up being a quite forgettable character. a very interesting & cute one though.
acting: 8/10. writing: 7/10. cuteness: 6/10
14. sun (chuamong tong mon)
Tumblr media
so I went into this show expecting off to have the smallest cameo role & no character development whatsoever... WHAT I DIDN’T EXPECT IS FOR HIM TO BE A CONFIRMED MLM WITH A BL SHIP!!! at first sun is kind of this okay brother to the female lead who defends her from her evil stepmother & stepsister but also doesn’t have much of a backbone bc he lets his sister work on her own to support the four of them. HOWEVER, we learn later that his sister was the one who insisted on him not working so he could focus on his studies, and that when the family was in big financial problems he got a job behind his sister’s back to help out. apart from that sun has a very strong personality & would do anything to defend his sister, including joining his company’s trip to protect her from a colleague he thinks is trying to take advantage of her (when in reality that colleague is gay.) but things don’t turn out that way when sun realizes HE’s the one who is falling for that colleague, who is justin played by leo saussay. their relationship develops through friendship at first but it’s clear pretty much since day 1 that they like each other. in the end, justin, who was a gay closeted model, comes out publicly with sun as his boyfriend & they become a shipped couple, leading to both happiness in love for them & fame. and like??? wow. when I say every off jumpol’s character is bi I didn’t expect that there was a role like that I hadn’t seen yet. sun is a babe & I love him with all my heart. the reason he’s not higher is that he wasn’t as developed as the characters above him & off’s acting and cuteness weren’t as good. but I love him nonetheless!
acting: 7/10. writing: 7/10. cuteness: 7/10
15. bright (sotus/sotus s)
Tumblr media
bright is yet another biconic role for off, and I can’t believe he was in the very first thai series I ever watched & I didn’t pay any attention to him jifdnhbcjihbd!!! while bright is very much a background character & kind of an asshole sometimes (a theme for off’s characters, I tell you) bc of the hazers’ mentality, he was honestly the funniest character & I always appreciated his little background story of having dated kongpob’s senior in the past, idk it added something for me. what I’m saying is that it’s not his best character at all BUT it definitely is such a pleasure to see him in this show every time I rewatch it :)
acting: 7/10. writing: 6/10. cuteness: 7/10.
16. li tang (u-prince: the ambitious boss)
Tumblr media
idk if I’ve made it clear, but I love villains / not very nice characters, and li tang is just THAT. he’s not the villain of the story per say, but he’s a mysognistic asshole so like he might as well be. yet...... (and that’s where my off bias comes through & shoves my feminism aside) he was kinda cute in it??? like for a brief moment I kinda rooted for him, ngl. bc while he ended up being toxic af, I do believe he liked mook’s character a lot & he had good intentions. and again he always manages to make assholest cute, what can I say. also him getting captured & beat up by the mafia fuels my best dreams I live for it jfddijchrejicbdiuc!!!
acting: 7/10. writing: 6/10. cuteness: 6/10.
17. tankhun (astrophile)
Tumblr media
sigh... after a really solid start for tankhun in astrophile, sadly the writing & execution of the show did NOT come through for him. tankhun is an absolutely useless character, even though he’s included in every promotional material for the show as a main character. he’s just a prop for some VERY minor drama & that’s it. the worst of it all, though, is that he was only given sad moments FOR NO FUCKING REASONNNNN. this whole show was just torturing poor off & his audience from beginning to end lol. he did great, as he always do, but even his great acting & handsomeness couldn’t save this mess of a show.
acting: 9/10. writing: 1/10. cuteness: 7/10
18. puen (room alone)
Tumblr media
for his very first role,,,,, puen is honestly quite a good character. the biggest problem for him (and the whole show, honestly he might be the best character in it) is that he’s quite inconsistent. I did really enjoy off’s acting though, considering it was his first role. he has a really convincing crying scene in season one and he had a few cute moments in season 2. amongst a really mediocre show & again for his first role I was extremely impressed. puen can stay!
acting: 7/10. writing: 6/10. cuteness: 4/10.
19. pick (puppy honey)
Tumblr media
I’ve said many times that I just don’t love pick as a character (which would probably disappoint off, whoops). I don’t hate him at all, I do think he has a few good moments, but it’s always funny to me that one of off’s worst roles in my opinion is the one that kickstarted his career. for me pick is yet another asshole character, but for the first time off’s cuteness just doesn’t come through to save the day. he’s an asshole, and that’s it. he’s got a couple jealous moments & then he rescues rome but that’s basically the extent of the decent part of his character. I just think this role not being his best is a culmination of a lot of things: him not being the most comfortable with a bl role at the time, offgun’s chemistry being legit 0.1% of what it is today, and the writing being quite wonky for pickrome as a couple. so yeah I don’t hate him, but I don’t like him either lol.
acting: 7/10. writing: 6/10. cuteness: 3/10.
20. off (love from outta space) 
Tumblr media
now we’re getting into special appearances & stuff like that but frankly off in this commercial was adorable. him scared of gun? gold. him getting sick? adorable. him sleeping on gun’s knees? diamond in the rough. I’ve said it before but I wish this commercial could’ve been a movie bc the story was really interesting & offgun pulled it well!
acting: 8/10. writing: 8/10. cuteness: 10/10.
21. jet (club sapan fine 2)
Tumblr media
jet is just... khai without the charm & character development tbh lol, and even dumber :’))) off did fine, but tbh bc his character has almost no redeeming quality & I hate how they styled his hair in that role, soooooo... yeah...
acting: 8/10. writing: 3/10. cuteness: 5/10
22. dentist assistant (teenage mom)
Tumblr media
listen, off making a sexual innendo & being totally gone for a sort of dom!gun was sooo refreshing. apart from that this cameo is literally 4 minutes long so there’s not much more to say lol
acting: 7/10. writing: 7/10. cuteness: 7/10
23. ? (cornetto love expert)
Tumblr media
he played a popular jock and I??? approve wholeheartedly. apart from that he’s cute af but barely has any lines so it’s hard to judge his acting
acting: 7/10. writing: 6/10. cuteness: 9/10
24. ? (the shipper)
Tumblr media
he was there for 5 seconds but 1) that was a cute ass offgun moment & he looked whipped and 2) he was in the same vicinity as ohm pawat & idk it makes me happy
acting: too short to judge. writing: ???. cuteness: 9/10
25. tom (ugly duckling: pity girl)
Tumblr media
tom is... absolute goddamn trash, off’s worst role FOR SURE. not only does he have three scenes and a half & looks bland as hell during all of them, off’s acting is suuuper mediocre (sorry), but most of all... tom is an attempted r*pist trying to take advantage of his ex girlfriend’s memory loss. he is the WORST & has nothing redeemable about him
acting: 4/10. writing: 3/10. cuteness: 1/10
26. ? (hormones)
he’s literally there for one second lol, but he still managed to appear in one of the most popular thai shows of the time so like,,, good for him

구미호뎐 | Tale of the Nine Tailed - 이동욱 VLIVE 2020.11.18 TotNT Q&A
Below the cut you’ll find a translation of some of the TotNT Q&A highlights from Lee Dong Wook’s recent VLIVE, wherein the actor answers live questions from fans and shares some fun behind the scenes stories and insights. 
Note: these are only excerpts I’ve selected out (primarily from the third segment) of the full 2hr VLIVE. You can find a full transcript of the second segment here.
At the start, LDW wrote a few things on a white board because he was being asked them so much. Those are:
Tale of the Nine Tailed Ep 13 & 14 will both be broadcast the following week (filming for the drama has wrapped) [on November 5th, after filming for nearly 7 months]
He really does like mint chocolate
He has no intention of running his own SNS (social media) 
[In a later addition] He doesn’t know his MBTI type and isn’t interested in finding out
The VLIVE proceeded in three main sections. 1) Free talk 2) VS Game (prepared for him by his promotional team), and 3) TotNT Q&A. Below are some things I thought were of note, mostly from the third section, complete with time stamps in case you want to go see where he talks about them but also because academia has conditioned me to always be meticulous about citing my sources. ;) 
Q: Do you watch Tale of the Nine Tailed on live broadcast? [0:17:16~0:17:46]
I think I watched live...about half the time. I saw about half of the episodes live, and for the other half I couldn’t watch because we were filming, so I either watched them on re-watch [online] or when they re-broadcast them. 
Since it wasn’t entirely pre-produced, we were still filming as it was being broadcast, so there were occasions when I couldn’t watch the broadcast live. 
[Note: The reason people in Korea are concerned with the original live broadcast (bonbang) is because this is how the viewership ratings are measured.]
Q: Are you close with Kim Beom-nim in reality? [0:30:45~0:31:03]
(Laughing) Yes, we are close in real life haha. That was a very cute question. We’re extremely close. We worked out together yesterday too. (Laughing) That was a cute question. 
[Note: Lee Dong Wook and Kim Beom are represented by the same talent agency so they’re also label mates]
Q: Are there any ad lib lines that come to mind? [1:17:30~1:18:30]
Everyone, to be perfectly honest, I did so many ad libs I don’t even remember them all. I think I made an ad lib in nearly...at least once in every two scenes? Was it more than that? But thankfully the director and writer gave me a lot of opportunities to do as I pleased. Most likely if you were watching and found yourself thinking, ‘oh, that seems like an ad lib?’ those were all ad libs. And there were actually many more than that even. Yes. I did so many I can’t remember. 
[Note: You can find a full round-up of ad libs mentioned throughout the VLIVE that I did here. I’m not going to repeat them in this post since it’s going to be long enough already ;) ]
Q: What line left the deepest impression on you? [1:18:36~1:19:35]
This is also...for our drama, the writer really did a wonderful job writing the dialogue and there are many iconic lines, right? So to be honest it’s difficult to just pick one...yes. But, in any case, it would probably have to be that line, wouldn’t it? The ending of episodes 1, 4 and 9. Ji Ah’s line, ‘I waited for you.’ And then again at the end of episode 4, my line, ‘I also waited for you.’ And then at the end of episode 9 Ji Ah says, ‘I waited for you’ with a different meaning. The mirroring of the lines in these ending scenes, I believe it will have stayed with you, and it stayed with me too. 
[Reading the live chat] Yes, ‘I have never once missed my target.’ Yes, that line was also really good. It was a line that helped to wake something in Rang-ie’s heart, so... 
Q: Was it hard acting before the CG effects were added in? [1:20:39~1:23:19]
Ah, is that so? That was also released as a clip, as a video [available here]. They compared the CG before and after...It’s not easy. Yes. Especially in cases like the Knife Mountain Hell and the Snow Mountain Hell, when you film in front of a blue screen, you need to make a lot of calculations. And, you sort of...need to be aware of the details. Right now, what cut you’re filming, what cut will come after that cut, and...for that, seeing as how everything around you is blue, you tend to lose your sense of direction a bit? You also have to take that into account. So, actually to film all the Knife Mountain Hell and the Snow Mountain Hell scenes, added together, I spent three days and two nights in front of a blue screen...so it was a bit hard. After being in front of nothing but a blue screen for nearly three days straight...I started to lose my sense of time and space. Where I am now, which direction I’m going in, whether where I’m currently standing is facing forward or backward, even what time it is currently, or how much time has passed, these sort of...the most basic senses that are part of being human, become duller and duller. That was somewhat hard. But thanks to our director, our CG director, and our stunt director helping me a lot, and the same goes for our film crew, yes, so, that was how we filmed. 
Ah, and, when filming in front of a blue screen, especially in cases like the Knife Mountain Hell, there are knives flying at me right? So I get asked a lot if that isn’t embarrassing, but to be honest when I’m filming I don’t have the space to even be concerned with those sorts of things. It’s not as if, like, because I moved in such a way I feel humiliated or because I did this I feel embarrassed. I don’t even have the space to be concerned with those things. I just think about the fact that the CG team, the stunt team, the camera team, and me, I have to act well so that these four teams can work well in concert...yes. Because to the extent that my acting comes across as realistic, it should be better once the CG is added. Because it will be easier for the people filming [that way], so I always film while keeping those things in mind. 
Q: Do the colors of your thread rings have to do with the drama’s plot? [1:26:42~1:27:00]
[Big pause] Hm~.....the color doesn’t. 
Q: Between Lee Rang and Imoogi, who did you have the best synergy with for the action sequences? [1:27:26~1:28:11]
For me, it was easiest when I worked with the stunt team (laughs). When I do action sequences with other actors...I’m uneasy. Well, the other party might also be uneasy but I am also uneasy, because if we happen to strike each other for real, we’ll get hurt. So I always film with a very cautious mindset, but when I do action sequences with the stunt team, in any case, because they are professionals, even if I get the motions slightly wrong or I step forward too much, they are able to adjust to match me. So my heart is most at ease when I do action sequences with the stunt team. Because they are able to respond to me well. 
Q: Do you get startled for real when Taluipa screams at you while you’re acting? [1:28:46~1:28:59]
No. In reality it doesn’t startle me that much. Jeong Nan-Noona (Actress Kim Jeong Nan) is also very close with me. We’ve been in a number of productions together, so we enjoyed ourselves. 
Q: A behind the scenes story from the promotional teasers with Jo Bo Ah? [1:29:17~1:30:02] 
Ah~, this is a bit of a departure from talking about the drama itself. I was just talking with Ji Ah, with Bo Ah-ssi, and we ended up talking about how it might be if we tried filming something funny just by ourselves to release before the broadcast...and so, I was the one who provided the idea, at the beginning. If you look, it’s written there, right? Planning: Jo Bo Ah, Directing: Lee Dong Wook hehe. Yes, we just made them like that. At the very beginning, Jo Bo Ah-ssi was the one who proposed making them, so the planning is Jo Bo Ah, and then I was the one who supplied ideas of ‘let’s do this like this,’ so the directing is Lee Dong Wook. Yes. 
[Note: If you haven’t seen these, they’re great. There are three of them that were shared to both Lee Dong Wook (@leedongwook_official) and Jo Bo Ah’s (@xxadoraa) Instagram feeds ahead of EP03, EP05, and EP07]
Q: Who had the most NG (no good) takes while filming? [1:30:59~1:31:14]
I have the most NGs. I think in any case, I have the most...I joke around a lot, and I make a lot of ad libs, and I also had a lot of scenes, so I had the most NGs. 
Q: Re: Lee Yeon’s Hair [1:33:38~1:34:34]
Yes, I like it. Ah, this could actually be a bit of a ‘behind the scenes.’ It was actually my idea to make Lee Yeon’s hair red-brown. It wasn’t the original character setting. I thought that, since he’s a Korean red fox, how would it be to make his hair a bit closer to that color, and also that it would be nice to give him a bit more of an otherworldly image. So I consulted with the director of our salon and the salon director said that that would be good. So I ended up with red-brown hair, and it just worked naturally that the (mountain god) wig be a mixture of red-brown and silver. Ah that isn’t white hair, it’s actually silver. It’s much closer to silver hair, not white hair. So that’s how I came to have a combination of red and silver long hair. Yes. 
Q: What was your reaction when you first met the agwi while filming the Forest of the Starved sequence? [1:36:27~1:37:50]
That, rather than thinking they were scary, I mostly kept thinking about what a hard time they must be having. The Forest of the Starved sequence, adding together every time the Forest of the Starved shows up from beginning to end, we filmed for nearly a week straight. Six days? For about six days to a week. For most of them, they are actually members of our stunt team in stage makeup. There were also many people who appeared just in those roles, but those folks all had a really hard time. That makeup takes a long time to put on and a long time to take off, and seeing as it’s all special effects makeup it’s hard on your skin in a number of ways, and because it was summer it was really hot and humid, and because we were in the forest it was just...well, in any case there were truly a lot of error conditions, so while me and Kim Beom-ssi also had a hard time, in truth it was those people who had it the hardest. Those who played the agwi really worked very hard. Thank you very much to those people. For me and Kim Beom-ssi, at least our clothes and shoes were, at least we were dressed comfortably while we filmed, but those people had to wear torn hanbok and straw shoes while running, so in truth those people are the protagonists of the Forest of the Starved. They really worked the hardest of all of us.
[Note 1: ‘those people’ sounds dismissive in English but LDW is using the respective term ‘bun’ so he’s actually being quite deferential here.
Note 2: Kim Beom has said elsewhere that he filmed this sequence for 3 weeks so either LDW is just talking about his own scenes or possibly Kim Beom just remembered it as being longer than it was haha]
Q: When you played baduk with Lee Rang, did you know what you were doing or were you just placing pieces at random? [1:39:34~1:40:07]
For that, I knew what I was doing. For that baduk game, someone who knows [how to play], if they see that board just once they will know. We used a high caliber game by extremely famous baduk players and transferred the placement of the pieces exactly, and then Rang-ie and I took turns placing piece by piece like this, right? For that, we each, Rang-ie and I each memorized our moves, so we were playing an actual game of baduk. The reason being that, these sort of things are the details, and for those, well, you shouldn’t lie, right?
Q: Are there any details you payed attention to when you were acting as Lee Rang transformed (into Lee Yeon)? [1:44:27~1:45:47] 
For episode 11... for episode 11, at that time, conversely, I didn’t pay much attention to it. At that time, the reason being, fooling the viewers was a critical part of that sequence, of that episode, so conversely, if I had acted like Lee Rang, and Lee Rang had acted like me, like Lee Yeon, doing it like that seemed like it would have been too obvious, so we just, to the greatest extent possible, we each respectively acted Lee Yeon as had been, and Lee Rang as had been. 
But then, when Lee Rang transforms into Lee Yeon and goes to see Taluipa, at that time I tried more to act like Lee Rang. In fact, before we started filming, I asked Rang-ie, I asked Beom-ssi to read through the lines once. I asked him, ‘If it was you, how do you think you would do this?’ So Beom-ssi read it for me and I matched that. So this was another place that I manipulated the details while I was acting. When I (Rang) went to see Taluipa, when he was transformed, there was originally another version where I (Rang) looked around even more and was even more awkward. But rather than that, that was too blatantly obvious, so it was broadcast with the more toned-down version. 
Q: Did you really have a video call with Ji Ah? [1:46:18~1:46:36]
No, we each shot our scenes on different days. I shot mine first, and then Ji Ah-ssi, Bo Ah-ssi, shot hers about two or three days later. We each shot separately on different days.  
Q: A behind the scenes story from the sound booth recording? [1:48:07~1:48:47]
The sound booth recording is just the sound booth recording (laughs). Ah, that, the sound booth recording for the hell scene? Ah, that was exhausting. For that, honestly if it wasn’t for the ‘making’ (behind the scenes video) you probably wouldn’t have known about it. To that extent, I poured as much energy into it as when I had originally acted it out all over again as I was recording it, so I really ended up feeling like I’d gone to that hell and back twice. Which is what I said in the ‘making’...And that was caught on video by our miss Bo Ah, and that ended up being released as part of the behind the scenes. 
[Note: The sound booth BTS can be found here (2:09~3:01)]
Q: Which of the mountain god outfits do you like the most? [1:50:47~1:51:11]
That...when I went to save young Rang-ie, the outfit I wore the first time I appeared, the black one, yes. In the Forest of the Starved, when I went to save young Rang-ie, the mountain god clothing I wore when we first met, I personally really liked it.  
Q: Re: the mountain god hair [1:51:30~1:52:17]
It was uncomfortable. It...dragged a lot, and sort of...yes. It gives you a headache. Once you’ve had it affixed for about 6 hours, your scalp gets tighter and tighter, and it hurts your head. So the wig, it also takes a long time to put on and take off. To be honest, the mountain god scenes, to everyone watching they may be very beautiful...but they were quite tiring. That goes for the wig, but also for the hanbok. It’s very uncomfortable to move about in and restrictive in a number of ways. Especially, seeing as how I always got a headache, it was a bit hard. 
Q: Does Lee Yeon know that he’s cute? [1:55:06~1:55:09]
Of course. 
[Note: This is the 3rd gif ;)]
Q: What was the first scene you shot? [2:02:18~2:02:46]
My first scene was...the scene where Soo Oh and I meet at the park and talk. That was the first scene that I shot. When the little girl lost her balloon and I caught it and returned it to her. Soo Oh said, ‘Ajusshi, are you an alien?’ and I said, ‘No, a gumiho.’ That scene was the first scene of Tale of the Nine Tailed that was shot and it was my first scene that I shot. 
Q: Did you have a time when you swooned while acting with Jo Bo Ah-nim? [2:03:14~2:03:20]
Of course. Whenever I act out those sorts of emotions I always do.

#002 music: B
an ep by Bambam
Tumblr media
first thing first: I don’t even know how I’m still alive after this ep.
second thing: Bambam, if you ever read this post, please, understand that you are a flawless human being sent from the paradise straight to your proud listeners.
third thing: Bambam is my religion.
last thing: skrrt skrrt.
 .
I’m not very into “intros”, but Satellites hits different. every ahgase knows that our double B is really relieved after leaving that company - I don’t know about you, but I feel that he is the happiest one from our seven babies. 
his courage is very explicit, mostly because he expresses his freedom in each of his lyrics both directly and indirectly:
It's getting harder and harder for you to coming near me Y'all said this is the end but is just beginning Saying how you never be the main thing 'Cause when you had your chance you just couldn't hang
Nowadays I sip tea, I mind my business All these blessings coming in, don't come with forgiveness You try to bring me down but cannot get a witness Y'all see me do my thing, I'm living your wishes
I usually skip the intros, but this one is just impossible to me since the beat is amazing and it matches perfectly with his voice. 
for me, it sounds like he’s saying: “sorry, can’t hear you over the sound of how amazing my songs are”.
.
Who Are You is a piece of art itself. it’s a synesthetic song. it’s a deep song with a soft sound. while I listen to it, I can feel that it sounds like a cloudy day that is threatening to rain, but that never drops a single raindrop. in other words: it’s a gray song that tastes like a lime candy and that smells like wet grass. 
youtube
I really love the maze concept that is well explored in the lyrics and in the MV (my vision was so pleased while watching it). other than that it’s clearly emphasized through his dance with Seulgi.
the presence of mirrors/reflexes made me think that this song suggests a self dialogue - or a monologue - in which his inner self is sang by Seulgi. the dreamy atmosphere matches the illusionary love theme, but instead of being about a couple or about a person that he has fallen in love, I think it’s related only to him, he and himself, who is wandering around searching for an answer to the question: “who are you?”.
Who are you? 마치 미로 같아 [like a labyrinth] But I like you, like to find you 난 깨달아 someone else in mind [I realized someone else in mind]
as the song goes by, he slowly finds the right path in this self discover / knowledge / love maze. when his (inner) voice becomes clearer, he starts to accept himself the way he is.
this song is beautiful in every sense.
for Slow Mo I gotta say that, as Bambam is my religion, this song is my orison.
youtube
since the first time I listened to this song I felt that Slow Mo is the color of Bambam. the pastel shade palettes, the retro background and the breezy outfits (by the way, I would totally steal all of his wardrobe) compose the charms of his aesthetic.
what I understood from this song is also related to his freedom, I mean, the time is less fast now that he can actually do everything that he wants to. the vibe is something like: “it’s a new beginning! so let’s celebrate it with many dreams and lots of love without any hurry”.
the gooses and their feathers can make reference to the ahgases and to his first solo song: riBBon. 
Melting slowly 서로가 늘 꿈을 꿨던 만큼 [as we dreamt each other] 닮아가는 너와 나의 마음 [my heart resembles yours] 물들어 갈수록 선명해져 [becoming more vivid as we draw near]
the feeling of belonging, of being closer to love (of all kinds) is what lingers the time that is shared between him and all of the people that believe in him.
one thing that hits me every time I watch the MV is the cloud with storms that take place in the part in which he says that he wasn’t like that in the past, that is, before he met this people. this is so meaningful and beautiful... I don’t even have words to describe what I feel, so I’ll just say that my eyes always get wet when I listen to this song (the rhythm that starts the first seconds of the song has the incredible ability to make my heart melt).
.
Subliminal is the typical song with a catchy rhythm that makes you dance without realizing. 
youtube
after paying attention to its lyrics I felt that this song would fit perfectly in a rom-com movie from Netflix. in my opinion, the thing that stood out the most are the voices in the background, since the way that they were blended (like if they were some friendly echoes) reminded me a lot the song “Sunflower” from Post Malone. thinking that Bambam is a huge fan of him, I think that resemblance was purposeful and, in my opinion, it harmonizes so well with his style that I really hope we will have more songs like this one in a near future.
Somebody said love was free Running out of currency Paid you attention  And got nothing back in return
the whole song is filled with a sensation of “floating in the outer space”, but in this second verse it seems that the gravity someway somehow pulled us for a moment just to show us that we should always have some time to breath.
.
Let Me Love You: what a song. 
the fact that he tries to comfort his listeners through his songs (not only this one but all of the above) is so cozy that this song smells like morning bread and hot tea to me.
among all the groups that I follow, Bambam is, in my vision, the most complete. I mean, the guy was born to be an idol, but in the same time he is one of the most humble and caring. his positive vibe is so strong that it has the power to make everybody feel good.
작은 감정까지 다 [even the little emotions] 내가 공감할게요 [I’ll empathize with you] 편하게 baby, fall asleep [comfortably] 잘하고 있어 매일 [you’re doing fine every day]
the only problem with this song is that after listening to it I wanna talk to Bambam until I fell asleep.
.
Ride or Die was the best choice to end this EP, since it refreshes us after all the (happy) tears that we drop with the previous songs.
I saw on Twitter that there was a rumor in which Mark offered Bambam a song and, because of Mark’s posts on Instagram, some ahgases thought that this song was the one. I don’t know the authenticity, but it actually makes a lot of sense in my view, since its vibe reminds Born Ready.
I didn’t captivate much from the lyrics, but I feel that the intention was to put this song at the end in order to “call” the listeners for the next comeback - which I’ll be eargely waiting.
.
I hope this text reaches you well! take care and see u!

TharnType The Series Ep. 9 Review
#TharnTypeEp9 #TharnType #TharnTypeS #TharnTypetheseries #MewGulf
Why it is supposed to be Tharn who got hit? I don't understand, is it because of the promise he made about never forget what they were said last night or what? If that so, it means Type don't believe Tharn yet, meung maeng... (usually in the book there will be any explanation about his emotion, yet I don't read them yet) Type, you saw it clearly that the one who tried to kiss first was P'San, you just got the bite from P'San.
P'San.... He is such a drama king. What do you want? Tharn still defending Type... (Proud of the hubby)
Tumblr media
YESSSSS, FINALLY HE SAID IT. YESSS HE IS YOUR. SAID IT SO HE CAN MOVE AWAY... 3 TIMES CLRAFICATION, STILL NOT ENOUGH P'SAN? What? What is this? Tharn... What did you two plan for Type? Bad..... "Yes, I belong to you" Tharn. That smile for something you hide or the smile of satisfaction, Ai Tharn?
Watch TharnType Ep. 9 Engsub
Damn..... A PLOT TWIST. You such a helper.... I'm sorry P'San but your attitude in the previous episode show us bad feeling about you. Phom khot khot na... Yes everything that P'San said was right but he doesn't know Type, right? We understand that Type won't declare his relationship, yet P'San force him to do it, good also bad thing. You played with others' feeling. P'San care so much about Tharn and we knew that Tharn always cover everything for Type. But do you know that P'San actually very satisfy with Type? You can see it when P'San smiles after went out from the room. A thing he found is Type's possessiveness prove his feeling toward Tharn and will never break up with him. And it is added by Type himself when he said anything about what he got from this situation.
Tumblr media
"I hate it when he won't just leave you alone." P'Sarn care so much at him na, he is worried for Tharn happiness.
"I hate when he acts as if he knows everything about you." He knew almost everything Type, they already knew each other for years moreover he is his brother best friend, P'Thorn might be explained everything about Tharn to him already.
"Hate that you are his first love." It cannot be changed, and yes it is deeply hurt but no one can change the past.
He such adorable big baby... This scene makes me cry for happiness, proud and love to both of them. Look at Type's madness face and look at Tharn's happiness and satisfy smile. Those are getting cuter...
Tumblr media
Now he considers about Tharn's feeling and more concern to declare his relationship. Tharn still doesn't want to force him. Why is Tharn so perfect? Too perfect to be real in a person. Tharn's smiles are really precious to me, you give everyone happiness ja....
I got some fact about P'San from the original subber account JayBL on Twitter. We and Tharn knew that P'Sarn love Tharn so much but it didn't work because Tharn doesn't have any feeling toward P'Sarn since the beginning. The reason why Tharn gave him in was because his curiosity about his sexual interest and to prove it, he agreed to have S with P'Sarn to make sure his feeling toward man. Besides, Tharn said he likes the role between Him and Type which mean as a Top. This is also another reason for Tharn to refuse P'Sarn who is also a Top. Top with Top, may be they only will do a sword fight (?) Sorry....
Another fact, P'Sarn said "Tharn has suffered enough heartbreak, don't make him experience it again". Tharn actually had a lot of ex-es, yet Tharn was the one who never say break up. So yes he suffered enough in relationship. Sacrificing his own feeling to let his lover go. Once again, I'll say we are the same. So glad that you found the one now.
Yes, last time he was crying all night long at the Bar Ai Type. You such a j*rk back then. "Friend who is more just a friend. I just want to let people know that you're mine" Type. I'm proud na Type. Lucky you Ai Tharn.
Tumblr media
"BTW, the toilet is pretty empty. You can get busy in there." P'Jeed. LMAO don't read someone's mind P'Jeed. That expression Tharn make. How cute he is...
So, she is the girl who always give Tharn drink after his performance. P'Gea, don't be so aggressive by giving Type your number. Ai Type what's that mean with "is talking all you want to do?". Talking like this at the front of Tharn's face, well better than behind. It is not funny Ai Type to get him Jealous, your game isn't fun at all.
Oh my god, not in public bro... No.... I don't understand this situation. What's the perpose of it, what's the point? Yes, you provoking him Ai Type so what do you want? Ohh my.... It just about cheating. You had talk right? How can one of you do such a thing. If you want to make sure, don't be like this. Just talk again in a good way. WHAT THE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Do you need to kick him like that? He is your bf, do you need to always hurt him? Man.... (Sigh)
Tharn: possesive?
Type: wanna die?
Hahahahahaha...... Both of you are ridiculous. Sad, Champ lose his friendship with those girl. May I blame at you, Type? So innocence, it was one of your fault too. Yes, I hate this kind of person too Champ, someone who never show up in class but can be so smart beside we had tried so hard to be smart. Is Type has B or AB blood type? These people can't be predicted how smart they are. "because right now, that person is already falling head over heels for me" Type, fact is true but surely you full of yourself.
Tumblr media
Stop by to switch the car, what is the purpose of it? Can't you just use your regular car? Not acceptable reason. Sawaddi khrap P'Thorn, yes you look intimidating. Lolaen... P'Thorn following Type's IG? How come Type doesn't know? And he is such a real stalker, unbelievable with that look of him. Thanya.... Hahahah you guys can't do talking freely. Yes YOU DID A GOOD JOB! HAHAHA my god she is cute for calling their parents. Such an innocence girl. Welcome trouble, man... Behave. You'll meet your father & mother in laws. No, khun dad, Tharn always comfort him every day and night, regularly please him. Lmao. Yes, family trip to Pang-an so you guys can get married sooner. Lol. Poor P'Thorn, I can feel that pain. Jebb at the feet also at the heart. Wrong target for kicking Ai Type. Hahaha such a supportive big bro, I feel more bad for Thorn. Yes of course khun mom, Type KNEW P'SARN who always play games with P'Thorn and Play other "thing" with Tharn back then. Thanya such a little angel, they can't refuse you na... Type's face always show his emotions, being so much fooled in a day. HAHAHA
Tumblr media
Morning kiss, "you said you wanted it" Type. You should ask for morning S, Ai Tharn. You can have his morning b*ner right now. Lol
Chai.... You know him a lot now, Ai Type. Euuu, Techno needs to find any information about you two by himself because you never tell him any small clues. He changed a lot Techno, he care and more care to his hubby. Always be a third-wheel, you will get used to it even I never used to it since the 1st episode. Lol. Ai Lhong, bad impression at the frist meeting. The newbie Nong Song is kind of cute, his way of speaking, those tones, adorable....
Okay, Tharn, we see your charismatic aura. Yup, such a cool guy playing a drum like that, everyone always fall to people who can play instruments especially in a band. Don't sing by yourself like that Ai Tharn, you give me a goosebump. Euuu that is for Type but you send the effect to us as well. Again, such a perfect man.
Tumblr media
They letting No to sleep over? Seriously? I hope there will be nothing happen. I can't imagine if No see something he shouldn't see. Wify.... Okay Tharn.... Texhno is sleep talking, how cute. Lol. "Tharn, I'm curious, your face when you were playing is looked so goddamn sexy" Type, I never thought Type would say such a thing but yup he was hot. "For me music is like sex that gives me a climatic pleasure" Tharn, bro it is kind of deep but still can't imagine the climatic pleasure when playing a music, different point of view, may be I can't understand it because I'm not a musician but sometime when hearing a song I can get the climatic part of the emotions but not the same as the sex you were talking about. "You are my most cherished instrument" Tharn, Type as an instrument what kind of sound he can make? Owhhhh......... I know, don't say that it is "THE SCREAM" hahahahaha they didn't use "moaning", I think it is more sensual so they never use this word. Lol. WOW, I NEVER EXPECT IT WILL COME LIKE THIS AND NEVER THINK THAT TYPE WILL LOOK SO HORNY LIKE THAT. NO... DON'T... I'M NOT READY BROO.... Those moaning give me more goosebumps. NOOOO THEY TAKE OFF THE CLOTHES.... F*CK I FORGET THAT TECHNO IS THERE, BLESS HIS EYES, EARS AND PLEASE STRENGTHEN HIS HEART TO FACE THIS SITUATION (No, do you want to switch? I would like to see them. Lol) Now someone's know how dose the scream sound like. Feel bad for him.
Tumblr media
"I can't wake up, I feel like my head is going to explode" Texhno, his brain stop working since last night Ai Type, he tried to refuse anything, any sound, any picture he got, he just tired to his limit. Poor him..... Remember Ai No, this time you will absolutely die if you spill this special tea. Lol.
Why suddenly Tum skip a class to pick up Tar? They are cute together.
Tumblr media
Tharn trying to make a permission to tell Long about their relationship. Well, Type more reasonable now. This strange feeling come out from Long. What is this? I already felt it since I saw him at the first time. Those eyes, that look, I feel a mixing emotions. I suspect him that he likes Tharn or something like possessing him. The feeling of disappointed, being untrusted and unbelieving. There are two speculations I have here, first he likes Tharn and thought that he was single all the time so he can clingy at him. Second, he disappointed because as a best friend Tharn never tell him anything recently so he feels like being untrusted. Well, losing strength until he falls the glass, it is kind of strange attitude for hearing the news. That is why I accuse him to like Tharn. (Private property bro, you need to pay for the glass. Lmao) Sorry it's just my speculation. Then he went like he can't accept what he heard before. This guy keeps something.
Nong Song, if you want to have a faen so much, I don't mind to try it since you're cute. lol. Oww they finally meet and Tar missing Tharn, it will be an open case since their story keep untold.
"Hurry up and be my pillow" Type. I need my pillow too. There is a call from the unknown number. What is this? What will happen? Please don't give us more trial. My God. This series always end every episode with something that cannot be waited. (Sigh)
That is the review for TharnType Ep. 9. How is your opinion? There are so much to discuss, start from P'Sarn, change character of Type, Techno, Lhong and so much more. You can leave a comment below. So, see you next time.

Don't do it. It won't end well, you know that. You can't let this happen. But then again, maybe there's no point in trying. Maybe this is all inevitable. Maybe you don't have a choice. Do we ever?
She was startled awake to the sound of loud vibrations against her bedside table. The wood trembled from the sensations of her phone as it received a new message. She groaned, rolling over and stretching for the device.
Tumblr media
She laid her head against her pillow trying to recall what her dream had been about. It didn't really even feel like a dream. It was more like the voice in her head speaking to her through the darkness. But what was it talking about? Too exhausted to think or get up, she set her phone down only to watch it vibrate again when a new message popped up.
《???:》 Y/n?
She blinked at the unknown number for a few seconds before remembering who it was. She had given him her number at the café the day before during their conversation. She immediately added the number to a new contact.

Jungkook sat on a couch in his dorm room pleading with himself not to sound so cringeworthy. Forcing a conversation with her was something he did not want to do, especially if it was about something as unimportant as her obviously messed up sleep schedule.
Tumblr media
He chuckled at the message causing Yoongi to look up from the burrito of blankets he had wrapped himself with. "What's so funny?"
Jungkook glanced up at his older roommate before shaking his head. "It's nothing, hyung. Go back to your nap."
"It's okay. I should be getting up now anyway. They'll call us down soon." Yoongi rolled out of bed and Jungkook's eyes went back to his phone.

After showering and finishing her hair and makeup, Y/n headed for the filming room.
"Hey, Y/n!"
Jimin jogged up beside her. "How are you today?"
"I'm good, thanks. I'm ready to get to work."
Jimin giggled. "Me too. I don't like to sit for too long." Y/n smiled and the two walked together to meet the group.
"Oh, look who's late," Jungkook said when Jimin entered the room.
"I am not late!"
"Everyone else is already here though," he smirked. Hobi laughed and punched him in the arm.
"You haven't even started yet! Besides, Y/n came with me!"
Jungkook's eyes flickered towards hers as she followed Jimin into the room. He felt his stomach drop. Why is she with him? Were they together? What were they doing? He watched the questions consume his mind. I don't like it.
Y/n took a seat next to him, immediately making his negative thoughts disappear. "Hi," she smiled.
"Hello." He tried to choke back the next sentence, but it seemed he couldn't help himself; it just slipped out. "You look pretty."
"Oh, thanks," she replied before turning her attention towards the staff who would be directing the episode.
Jungkook nodded and looked down to play with his thumbs. I can't believe I just said that. It seemed like all of his confidence from the night before flew right out the window when he saw her come in with Jimin. Of course, he wouldn't be a problem for Jungkook; the golden maknae who could do anything. At least he hoped not. He really hoped not.
The staff finished putting the set together and began to record. The first episode of the second season (ep. 21) of Run would be a relaxed episode, saving the more intense games and plots for later. Today would be a board game competition. “You will split up into two teams of six and play two out of three games. The third game will be all vs. all. If the winner of the third game is from the losing team of the first two games, the team can avoid the punishment picked by the staff.” The members nodded and began to decide their teams. The first group included Jimin, Yoongi, Taehyung, Hayden, Hobi, and Maya. The opposing team was made up of Jin, Mason, Namjoon, Y/n, Jungkook, and Cyrus. “Now that the teams are made, we will discuss the first game. It's water beads. There is a piece of filter paper placed on a hollow stand. Each of you will drop a bead or a drop of water onto the paper. The person to make the beads break and fall through the paper is the loser.”
Each team took turns adding beads until the overconfident Kim Seokjin decided to push his luck and dump a straw full of water onto the paper. Needless to say, the paper broke and Jin's team lost the first game. “Well that didn't go as planned,” he shook his head as Jungkook slapped his shoulder.
The second game was a test for the BTS members to see how many English words they could memorize on a card in ten seconds without the help of Culture. Jin recited five of his six words, while Namjoon got all of his. “Dog, dinosaur, duck, jello, jam, jerk, cracker, crocodile…”
Jimin snickered before attempting to mock him. “Crocodoll,” he said with a roll of his tongue. Hobi joined his fun, giggling, “Crocodiiiile.”
Jungkook went last. He looked up in thought before remembering his words. “Stream, strong, streamer, rabbit, ring, rocket. Was that it? I think that's all I have.” Everyone praised him for his memory and dialect.
“That was really good, Jungkook!” Y/n said, patting him on the back. His cheeks turned rosey and he smiled back at her. After watching the other team crash and burn, it was decided that Jungkook's team was the winner of the second game.
The third game which would be played individually was Uno. Within a few times around the circle, Y/n was the first to go out. She jumped from her spot and took a seat on the couch behind them. Taehyung seemed to not fully understand the concept of the game. “Tae,” Joon said, slapping him on the knee. “You didn't say uno. You have to draw four cards.” This went on for a while until the members made a game out of it.
“Okay guys, he gets it. You have to let him say it when he lays his card down.” Without even realizing how it happened, Taehyung went out and got second place. Hobi was right behind him.
After a few more rounds, Y/n laid her hand on Jungkook's shoulder and discreetly held up a 1 until he realized. “UNO!” He gasped. “Uno, uno, uno, uno!” He flung his final card across the room causing everyone to bust out in a fit of laughter. Only a minute later did he play the card and get fourth place.
“You would have lost if I hadn't told you,” she giggled as Jungkook held up his hand for a high five.
“They didn't even notice!” They both laughed as they watched the game continue until it was just Jimin and Yoongi left. In order to save time, the boys decided they would draw cards. Whoever held the highest card would be the last winner. Jimin drew a green eight while Yoongi played a red reverse.
“What is that worth? Did we even establish this card?”
Jimin waved his hand at him. “It's okay, hyung. I'll allow it. You can redraw.”
“Awww,” Y/n cooed. “Jimin, that's so sweet.”
Jungkook's gaze shot between Jimin and Y/n. Sweet? What is that supposed to mean? Does she like him? He could feel his face heat up for the hundredth time that week and his fists clenched into balls-- not that Jimin was any threat to him. He couldn't possibly be.
Yoongi drew a draw 4 card, making Jimin the loser despite his good sportsmanship. “That's okay, Chim. You're still the best sport here.” At this point, Jungkook's blood was boiling. Jimin was stealing all of her attention. He needed to do something, anything that would bring her back to him. He noticed the way she leaned on the couch, exposing her hand on the cushion next to him. He slowly crept his hand closer until his fingers feathered over hers. She immediately looked up at him, but she didn't withdraw due to the considerable amount of butterflies fluttering in her stomach. What is he doing?
He mentally celebrated his success before pulling his hand away. Jimin who?
The twelvesome wrapped the shoot and the staff declared dinner would be ready soon. The punishment for Jimin's team was to clean up afterward.
“Hey, Y/n. C'mere for a sec.”
Hayden and Maya were still standing in the middle of the room. She turned in her heels dramatically and made her way to them.
“Yeah?”
“So, Maya's been filling me in on a few things-”
“Oh good god, Maya what did you tell him?” She asked her sternly.
“Just what he needs to know. I'll be going now.” She winked at Y/n and left the room with a swing in her step.
“I swear that girl gets on my nerves sometimes.”
“Don't change the subject. As your very best friend, I demand to know what's going on between you and Jungkook.”
“Hayden, nothing is going on between us! We literally met three days ago, and you know Maya! She's always trying to hook me up with random people. This is no different.”
Hayden nodded his head, staring at her suspiciously. “So you would tell me if something was going on?”
“Of course! What about me do you not know?”
“Okay, Y/n. I believe you. I just think Jungkook might have an eye for you.”
“Good grief.”
“That's all I'm saying. He's showing signs and I think we've all noticed.”
“Kay Sherlock, I'll be sure to keep you posted. Can we go eat now? I'm starving.”
“Yeah yeah, let's eat. But seriously-”
“Hayden!”
-
After an uneventful dinner, everyone turned in for the night. When arriving at their dorm, Y/n shoved Maya inside and kicked the door shut behind her. “Why would you talk to Hayden? We talked about this. It's nothing and I don't understand why you keep insisting that it is.”
“I'm sorry, Y/nickname. I didn't think you'd be that pressed about it.” Y/n followed her into the bathroom to get ready for bed.
“I'm not pressed, Maya. I'm tired. You always do this. Every time I interact with a male that isn't in our band, you blow it out of proportion. I don't want a boyfriend. If I did, I would have one. But I don't. I thought that after everything I went through with Luke that you would understand that.”
“I know. You're right. I just get so excited when you loosen up. You work so hard all the time and I care about your feelings. I want you to be happy.” Exiting the bathroom, the two sat on their mattresses to face each other. Maya looked into Y/n's eyes, reading her like an open book. “I know you're lonely,” she spoke softly.
“I'm not lonely, My. I have the greatest friends in the world to share my life with. And I know you care.”
“That's not what I meant,” she said tilting her head endearingly.
“I know what you meant. But I don't have time for that kind of thing. In our career, you have to decide what you want; love or success. You can't have both. Between the touring, the practice and recording, red carpets and events, press following around every corner; it can be too much for some people to understand.”
“I think there's someone who understands that perfectly.”
“Which only means double the time apart.”
“So celebrities and normal people alike are both no-nos.”
“Now you're getting it.”
“Okay! Okay, I'll leave you alone. Just- at least think about it. I really think having a little fun could be good for you right now.”
“If it will make you feel better, then fine. I will. Now go to sleep.” The girls each climbed into their beds-Maya almost immediately drifting off. Before Y/n could shut her eyes, she heard her phone vibrating.
