#but it's messy

'in the name of pain and outrage'

an analysis of the ending

I say this with utmost love, but episode 16 was a shitshow.

i walked into this show accepting it at face value – a show that would take itself lightly, with a compelling subplot marinated in humor, and a dose of sweet romance.

this show tried to include very mature, sobering themes with slapstick humor, which is definitely possible if balanced properly, but i feel this show was not able to achieve this the way do bong soon or others could.

to get some of the discrepancies out of the way:

they never told us that the women's senses were connected, geum joo should not have been able to feel namsoon's thirst – that's something they abruptly added to fuel the tension of the situation.

there is absolutely no reason nam soon would react like that to the drug, when you compare it to how every other user was affected by it.

the strength exerted by gil-joongan did not feel like enough to knock her out like that

and with how easy it would've been to leave the situation, it's very obvious that nam soon taking the drug was an ill-planned way to raise the stakes and increase suspense

the homeless couple truly had nothing of value to add to the show or it's message

none of the show's themes or messages were delivered properly towards the end, and it went against everything it preached.

the immediate tone change after ryu si-o's death did not do any justice to the effort put into his characterization

i do not understand how nam soon became a cop, all technicalities considered

why was she throwing humans out a window from the second floor, even if they're criminals??

they REALLY cheapened the whole marriage conversation by bringing money, property, and heirs into it. that was NOT romantic or wholesome. hee-sik deserves better parents, tf.

side note: i'm pretty disappointed with namsoon's character arc, but lee yoo mi worked within the purview of the script to give us honestly wonderful acting, especially in episode 15.

now, to get into the ending, i'll start with this:

what we got, felt like an empty victory. hollow and out of place.

i've always been an advocate for all parts of a show coming together to create an experience – there's usually no single keystone.

but as soon as si-o died, the rest of the episode felt like a blur, with all loose ends being succinctly wrapped up and prepared for season three. byeon woo seok, and his characterization really carried the show as a unit, and added to its cohesiveness. i did not find myself rooting for geum joo and nam soon's successes afterwards

because they had failed the ONE thing most of us had been hoping for them to do:

to save people who were victims of oppression from those with the power of money, and empower them, including to save si-o from his oppressors, and help him take down pavel.

there is no satisfaction in geum joo doing it by herself, because she has no emotional investment in destroying pavel.

losing hwaja and si-o, watching namsoon & heesik become one dimensional all of a sudden, and seeing tertiary unrelated characters having their loose ends tied, is extremely unsatisfactory – for a show that had an incredible cast and so much potential.

at the same time: i loved the portreyal of gil joongan's mission to help the elderly and her enthusiasm for her future, and the addition of binbin + looking into their past from an additional angle also really elevated the emotional context of si-o's character arc.

i loved each character, truly, and to not see the plot and writers give them the detail and care they deserve, is wholly disappointing.

the show took me on a whole journey, emotionally,,,but to know exactly what would make it better, and be aware of its discrepancies makes me grieve the potential it had to truly leave an impact on its viewers, with a solid takeaway message.

*Hades seeing Persephone crying in their chambers* Hades: My dear, what's wrong. Persephone: You. You are the problem. I hate you! Hades *sits besides her*: I know. Persephone *grunts*: You... I hate how you talk to me, and how your hair flows down. I hate the way you drive the boat, I hate it when you stare. Hades: Seph.. Persephone*tears*: Quiet. I hate your big dumb hat and the way you read my mind, I hate you so much it makes me sick. It even makes me rhyme. Hades *smiles a bit* Persephone: I hate the way you took me from everything I know, I hate it when you pretend it wasn't that bad, I hate it when you make me laugh, and even worse when you make me cry. Hades*nods* Persephone*sobbing*: I hate it now that when you're not around during spring and summer I hate that I miss you. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. Hades*sighs*: I'm so sorry Seph, if I could do it again I would have done it diferently. Persephone: I know.

I was looking at the venue website for Manchester and apparently you can buy tickets already if you have O2 priority? I'm hopeful that the they are gonna be just regular tickets and not VIPs but do you have any information on this? I'm just stressed that the m&g tickets are gonna get sold out before the actual sale even starts on Friday.

(The only thing reassuring me is the fact that on the danandphiltour website it says that the venue presales are not gonna have silver or gold vip packages)

yeah, started today at 10am.

they shouldn't sell m&g right now. Australian venues, for example, even hid the seats for m&g and Silver tickets, so people couldn't click on them during presale. i'd advice to check twitter, maybe someone has a priority access and can spill the tea on what's happening.

Spent a ridiculous amount of time last night obsessively editing my hand written zines in Photoshop to take away any tiny blemishes so they were definitely readable.

Whatever. Understand or don't.

I love when trauma makes characters messy. I love when characters don't know how to show love. I love when they lash out. I love when they're vile and break down. I love characters who aren't perfect victims. I love when stories don't excuse behaviour but allow you to understand it

"just as I did, in 1983."

you'd never know my favourite parts of the show are the fucked up insane bits when my first instinct is to draw the cheesiest thing imaginable
