The Penthouse Headcanons
Hey!! This is my first post I’ve ever done. I never thought I would actually make one here but here I am😭 anyway I’m making this because I really love this k-drama but I don’t see a lot of stuff about it in here so I’m doing some headcanons….because I can
- Most of the Hera palace kids don’t know how to cook except Rona, Jenny & Eunbyeol
I just get that vibe from them. Minhyuk and his dad rely on their mom for cooking and cleaning. The twins have their own maid who does that. Seokhoon might know basic stuff but not enough. I definitely think Jenny cooks with her mom sometimes. Ha Eunbyeol learned to try and impress Seokhoon. Rona definitely helps her mom around the kitchen
- Seokkyung can’t sleep when there’s thunder and lighting at nighttime.
This ain’t exactly a headcanon, Seokhoon confirmed that in season 1? I believe. I remember he said that to his father. I just felt like this needed to be brought to light
- Shin Suryeon’s love language is definitely quality time. You can’t tell me otherwise
- Seokkyung and Seokhoon definitely find comfort and security in each other.
I feel they both suffer from nightmares due to multiple reasons so I can imagine one of them waking up to the other texting or calling in the middle of the night about how they can’t sleep, and the other person shows up at their room a few minutes later and they just end up talking or cuddling to sleep
- Mari definitely saw Rona as her own daughter when Yoon Hee died.
She took her in and even left her husband because he didn’t want to have anything to do with Rona. That’s some motherly love right there.
- Shim Suryeon took many self defense and fighting classes
Have you SEEN the way this girl handles Joo Dantae sometimes😭the lord knows getting into a fight with her will leave on the ground with a broken nose.
- Ha Yoon Chul takes Eunbyeol to go eat out secretly behind Seojins back
Seojin only has her daughter eat certain and extremely healthy foods that are “fit for singer”. Yoon Chul just wants to make sure his daughter can enjoy all types of food and take her out so she doesn’t stay cooped up inside the penthouse.
- Kang Mari definitely likes women👌🏾
I rest my case….
- Jenny had a crush on Rona at one point, but it eventually went away
- Yoon Hee and Rona have karaoke nights
- Min Hyuk had a biiiiiigggg crush on Seokhoon
That was actually revealed by min Hyuks actor that it was originally written for min hyuk to be in love with seokhoon
That’s all I could think of😅 what are some of your headcanons?

Alchemy of Souls (Part 1 & 2)
Tumblr media
This is definite another favorite of mine; right next to Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Alchemy of Souls & Alchemy of Soul: Light and Shadow tell the story a young group of mage who have to fight against the greed of soul shifters and the sorcerous that conjure the spell. The story has a perfect balance of humor, action, romance, and suspense in a beautifully threaded plot.
The story begins with Naksu, a powerful female assassin, who wants to avenge the murder of her father as she follows her master's orders. And Jang Ok trying to unlock the power within him in his quest to becoming the mage everyone is trying to prevent him to become because of the truth of his birth. These two meet when Jang Ok has left his last master and she has shifted to the body of a blind girl in order to escape death. But she is no longer the powerful mage she had been, now that she is trapped in this body and in order to regain her power, she accepts becoming Jang Ok's master disguised as servant.
These two lives are entwined in a tangle of intrigue, misunderstanding and friendships that are strengthened and forged as Naksu as Mu Deok and Jang Ok walk the challenging terrain to make Jang Ok reach the highest level of a mage.
I fell in love with the characters, their personalities, their struggles and feelings. The end of the first part broke my heart.
The second part starts 3 years after Mu Deok's death and Jang Ok's returning from the afterlife with the ice stone. Jang Ok who is surrounded by shadows, and the pain of losing the love of his life, has become the most powerful mage and carries the responsibility of destroying soul shifters. Meanwhile, the two souls that had co-existed in Mu Deok's body are now enclosed in Naksu's body. But this time, both souls have lost their memories and powers and are imprisoned in the Jinyowon household. It is through Jin Bu Yeon's interaction with Jang Ok and the others that she slowly regains her powers and memories. In this last part, the youth come together to defeat the greed and selfishness of the king, queen, and everyone who sought to gain power through the alchemy of souls and the ice stone.
This series was definitely worth the wait! I recommend it to everyone. I will be thinking about this story for a long time. I know I will be watching this one multiple times.

My Top Solo Leveling Ships
Wanted to talk a little about them, so I'll just list three main reasons why I like them otherwise this post will be endless. There are a lot of other ships I like, but these are the main ones
It's a little unhinged, but that shouldn't be new
1. ChoiBaek
Tumblr media
This shouldn't be a surprise
They are aware of the other's intentions without needing to tell each other. They both read other people and each other very well. The only reason they don't get along is because when both of them want the same thing (recruiting Sung Jin-Woo, a gate in the area, etc), they are both very willing to fight for what they want and use their perceptiveness to their advantage. One of them doesn't mind having his thoughts being known while the other minds a lot
They both want their guild become stronger but not at the expense of their members. They have the same morals, but the actions they take because of their morals are different. Baek Yoon-Ho wants to make his guild stronger by focusing on what his members need as individuals (paying them more, training new recruits with stronger and more experienced members, etc). Choi Jong-In wants to make his guild stronger by focusing on improving how the teams work together (hunting in a orderly way to minimize injuries as much as possible, taking a leadership role to make sure none of the members are falling behind, making sure the teams are adequately prepared, etc). Both of them care a lot about other people, though they don’t make it obvious to others
Both know the other is strong (Choi Jong-In defends Baek Yoon-Ho when Sung Jin-Woo thinks Yoon-Ho is struggling during the Jeju sparring match while Baek Yoon-Ho is aware of Choi Jong-In's strength during the Jeju Raid) but tend to underestimate themselves (Baek Yoon-Ho believing he wouldn't have been able to win against the Japanese S-Ranks when he held out for a while on his own against two of them, and Choi Jong-In seeing his title as "a joke" after comparing himself to Sung Jin-Woo when he always has to limit how much of his powers he actually uses because of the people around him or the environment he is in)
This got long anyways... sorry. The others are shorter
2. SungPark
Tumblr media
I wanted to see them more than the main couple
They are both selfless to the point where they make sure others are alright before taking care of themselves
They both want their family to be safe and happy and make taking care of their children their priority. Park Kyung-Hye tells her son it's okay for him to be a hunter, even though it's the reason why Sung Il-Hwan is gone, and she understands that it's something both her husband and son feel like they need to do
The way Kyung-Hye kept waiting for her husband to return home and knew the exact moment when he wouldn't be coming back Ripped my heart to SHREDS-
They were so in love laskdjfasdlf
3. MinLee
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AKA younger!SungPark
Both of them have similar trauma, so they're able to help each other, especially since they're both retired
Even they have trauma, they have put their fears aside to help people more. Both participate in the last Jeju raid despite Min Byung-Gyu being traumatized from the last one and Lee Ju-Hee being traumatized from her previous raids
The way Lee Ju-Hee hardly showed up after she told Sung Jin-Woo she was retiring and Min Byung-Gyu barely being mentioned besides his trip to Japan before the Jeju Raid? There's so much potential for them to actually meet-
I see them as the "bunny couple"
4. ChulWoo
Tumblr media
This was actually one of the first ships I really got into
The way Woo Jin-Chul knew Sung Jin-Woo from the beginning and was watching Sung Jin-Woo get stronger without realizing it at first
The way Woo Jin-Chul looked at Sung Jin-Woo in the new timeline when he remembered the previous timeline-
Honestly, in my opinion, Sung Jin-Woo had more potential with Woo Jin-Chul than Cha Hae-in. Like, Sung Jin-Woo avenging Go Gun-Hee not just for his sake but for Woo Jin-Chul? Sung Jin-Woo actually trying to not give Jin-Chul a headache but failing? I love their dynamic
5. HeeSeok
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is probably the most cracked ship out of these, but it's cute
Both of them have a caring, almost parent-like nature (Park Hee-Jin looking after Han Song-Yi during the Red Gate and Eun-Seok looking after and warning Min Byung-Gyu during the third Jeju Raid)
It's actually possible for them to have known each other despite it not being stated in canon (Eun-Seok was a member of the Fiend Guild, and Park Hee-Jin could have been a member of the Fiend Guild as well before leaving for White Tiger. The game might change this part about Park Hee-Jin, but I'll stick with it for now)
The way Eun-Seok wears a scarf with his hunter's outfit, and then Park Hee-Jin gets stuck in a frost Red Gate? And Park Hee-Jin looks somewhat okay despite it being cold, so it seems like both are fine in cold environments
Actually, in my monarch/ruler AU, Frost Monarch!Eun-Seok could be the reason Park Hee-Jin gets stuck there in that Red Gate...hmm
Feel free to ask for more of my thoughts and talk about your own below

My top 10 Solo Leveling characters + explenation.
I know some of you may not agree (especially no. 10), but please don't hate me. I just like them a lot. This is my opinion. Feel free to tell me if I made a mistake or if I spelled something wrong! And feel free to tell me what your top 10 is, too!
Baek Yoon-Ho
Tumblr media
I'll be honest, I love Yoonho. He's such a cool character. I love cats/tigers/panthers, all of them. I love the way he acts like an aggressive cat, the way he has cat traits and I love how he can transform into an awesome white tiger-like beast.
2. Lim Tae-Gyu
Tumblr media
His personality just screams out sleepdeprived and cocky, but he is not. I love his cocky smile, even though he isn't. When I read the fact that his occupation before his awakening was tennis I came to love him even more. And you got his uniform design. It's awesome!
3. Kenzo Tanaka
Tumblr media
I know he doesn't have a lot of screen time, but I love him. He really strikes me as one of those tough guys that are actually soft on the inside. And I love how he is so calm, unlike most other tough guys. He just strikes me as a really nice and caring guy.
4. Lennart Niermann
Tumblr media
Lennart is awesome. His personality is awesome, his powers are awesome. I love him. He's such a soft and calm person. Every time he was on screen he made me calm. His powers, though. They make me wild! They're so cool! I mean, just look at that picture! Not to msntion the way he protected Thomas. He knew he wouldn't be a match against someone even stronger than Thomas, and yet he helped Thomas.
5. Min Byung-Gu
Tumblr media
He strikes me as one of those softies everyone would love. He's just so nice towards others and he has such a welcoming smile! I love his warm smile! And his design is nice, too. They gave him a nice color palette. The way he uses a book to use his powers also has me going wild. It's just so cool! It makes me think of one of those overpowered wizards!
6. Thomas Andre
Tumblr media
Thomas Andre just screams out brute power! He's such a rough and tough guy. I like how he just smashes eveything and how rough he is with his opponents. Whenever he walks next to someone he looks like a giant. That's really funny. And the way he transforms into an overpowered knight-like looking person is just amazing!
7. Lui Zhigang
Tumblr media
His mysterious and dark aura makes him really appealing. He doesn't have a lot of screen time, but he is such a cool person. He's so powerful, and yet we haven't seen him fight once. But the way he has awesome panels in the manwha makes up for it. His panels are always either dark and mysterious or beautiful.
8. Woo Jin-Chul
Tumblr media
Woo is in my top 10 because he has such a calm and mannered personality, even though his stress level is at 100% everytime we see him. He always manages to find a solution to a problem. When he stopped Baek and Hwang from a fight, we saw his true power. Even though the two were S-ranks, he stopped them. Yes, his arm throbbed in pain, but he still stopped them, which means he's storng.
9. Choi Jong-In
Tumblr media
Choi is a sly, but calm person. I love how he's with Baek 90% of the time. They're always bickering together and throwing a tantrum. Yet he still manages to do his job properly and clear most raids easily. I love his design a lot and his attacks are awesome, too.
10. Hwang Dong-Soo
Tumblr media
HEAR ME OUT! Hear me out! Dongsoo may not be the nicest person, but the way he's shown in a dark and mysterious way has drawn me to him. He also strikes me as one of those complete douchebags with a slightly soft side. He came over to Korea, all because someone killed his brother. Now their band wasn't too good, but he still cherished his brother from the inside. Even if it's just in the slightest. That means he has a soft side and I love him for that.

Weak Hero Character Names
For those who don't know, the Weak Hero webtoon anglicized a bunch of the characters' first names from Korean to English. They don't do this for newly introduced characters anymore AFAIK, but all the names they anglicized initially have been kept that way.
Since I've gotten a few people asking about the names, so I decided to compile a list of their original Korean names. You can find amost of these on their character profiles on the Weak Hero fandom page, but I figured people would appreciate having a quick reference that is all in one place. Hopefully this helps people learn/connect their original names.
Remember, this is not a full character list, it's for finding the Korean names of the characters that had their names anglicized.
The format will be:
Anglicized Name -> Korean Name (common alternative romanizations will be in parenthesis)
Eunjang High
Alex Go -> Go Hyeontak (Hyun-tak)
Ben Park -> Park Humin (Hoo-min)
Colton Choi -> Choi Hyoman (Hyo-man)
Eugene Gale -> Seo Juntae (Jun-tae)
Gerard Jin -> Jin Gayul (Ga-yool)
Gray Yeon -> Yeon Sieun (Shi-eun)
Phillip Kim -> Kim Pilyoung (Pil-young)
Rowan Im -> Im Juyang (Ju-yang)
Teddy Jin -> Jin Taeoh (Tae-oh)
Daehyeon High
Dean Kwon -> Kwon Hyeokjin (Hyuk-jin)
Jake Ji -> Ji Hakho (Hak-ho | Hagho)
Timothy Park -> Park Taegi (Tae-gi)*
Ganghak High
Jared Sun -> Seon Jongwon (Sun Jong-Wan)
Toby Kim -> Kim Dosik (Do-sik)
Wolf Keum -> Keum Seongje (Sung-je)
Hyeongshin High
Forrest Lee -> Lee Sehan (Se-han)
Myles Joo -> Joo Seungjin (Seung-jin)
Robin Ha -> Ha Minjo (Min-jo)
Sam "Grape" Lee -> Lee Gongsam (Gong-sam)
Yeo-il High
Donald Na -> Na Baekjin (Baek-jin)
Kingsley Kwan -> Kwan Seokhyeon (Suk-hyun)
Yoosun High
Harper "Helmet" Ha -> Ha Huicheol (Hee-chul)
Hugo Yoon -> Yun Hoyeong (Yoon Ho-young)
Jack Kang -> Kang Jeongyeon (Jung-yun)
Jimmy Bae -> Bae Jihun (Ji-hun)
Other Recurring/Relevant Characters
Bryce Oh -> Oh Beomseok (Beom-sok)
Julia Chae -> Chae Yujin (Yoo-jin)
Kenny Ji -> Ji Gwangseok (Gwang-seok)
Lala Lee -> Lee Minji (Min-ji)
Lily Nam -> Nam Jeongah (Jung-ah)
Oswald Yang -> Yang Seonghun (Sung-hoon)*
Sean Shin -> Shin Jeongseob (Jung-sub)*
Stephen Ahn -> Ahn Suho (Su-ho)
Wesley Song -> Song Baekkyu (Beak-gyu)
(* These names weren't on the wiki, so I looked at raws.)

Love in War
Chapter 3: The Training Begins
------------------------------------------------ Duty After School Fanfic
Wang Tae Man x Fem!OC
Summary:
The Sunshine of 3-2 didn't expect her senior year to end up in the military during an alien apocalypse…
Hwang Ha-Yun was born to have a bright personality. Her name means sun after all. Everyone calls her the 'Sunshine of 3-2'. Mostly everyone gets along with her until she reaches her boiling point where her temper could be as hot as the sun.
Wang Tae Man, the class clown of 3-2, has been her partner in crime since the fateful day she moved next door. They've been inseparable ever since.
With an alien apocalypse added into the mix and traumas resurfaced, what will happen to their relationship? And will they be able to survive?
TW: swearing, playful fighting
[3922 words]
[Other Chapters]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ha-Yun couldn’t breathe.
Her mother was hugging both her and Soo-Chul too tight. All their faces were practically squished with each other.
“Eomma… can’t… breathe…” wheezed out Ha-Yun.
The woman let go of her children. She looked at them with sad eyes as she brushed their hair with her hands. “I’m going to miss you two.”
“Eomma, it’s just a month,” said Soo-Chul.
“Still!” she protested.
Then, they heard the doorbell and a bark from the main door. Ha-Yun’s face brightened up and adjusted her glasses. She knew exactly who was at the front door. So, she quickly went and opened the door to meet a familiar cute fluffy face and his cute owner. Wait. Did she just call Tae Man cute?
Moving on, Tae Man was holding his puppy, Flanders. Ha-Yun picked him up and cooed at him. "Aww, little Flanders came to say goodbye to me? You are so cute." Tae Man coughed. "Excuse me, Flanders is here to check in his reservation at Hotel Hwang."
Ha-Yun pouted. "I'm gonna miss you, you little furball." She brought the dog inside, leaving the other teen outside. She heard him sigh loudly and stepped inside.
"Eomma, appa! Tae Mannie's here."
"EOMONI ABEOJIIIII!!!" Tae Man hugged the adults tightly. "I'm going to miss you both."
Ha-Yun's father let go of the boy's embrace and patted his shoulder. "Don't get yourself in too much trouble." He leaned in close and whispered, "And don't let guys get too comfy with our Yunnie."
"Yah, appa! I heard that." Ha-Yun pulled Tae Man away from her parents as said boy winked and nodded at her dad.
The three high school seniors stood in line as they bowed their farewells to the parents. "Stay safe, kids!" the mum yelled out as they left the house.
As they walked to school, Tae Man took Ha-Yun's bag and slung it on his shoulder. "Did you pack enough chocolate?"
"Yeah, I even stuffed some in Soo-Chul's bag."
"I packed more just in case."
The girl smiled at him. "Thanks."
"Ew, guys. I don't want to be a third wheel at 7 am in the morning," said Soo-Chul.
The two best friends wrapped their arms around him. "Aww, our Soo-Chul's just sad his best friend lives far away," said Tae Man.
"It's ok, oppa. We won't ignore your presence."
"Yah! Get off me, you two!"
The two burst out laughing at the annoyed boy. "Come on, we're going to be late," Soo-Chul said as he adjusted his bag on his shoulders.
~~
"Wah, it seems like mostly everyone's here," said Ha-Yun as she looked around the class. She didn't expect her classmates to willingly sign up for this program so she assumed they were forced to do it for the extra points.
"Yah, Wang Tae Man, are you selling gum?" Soo-Chul said beside her. The said boy was building a gum castle.
"Yes."
"To chew them after meals?"
"It feels stale after."
So-Yoon and Junhee sighed. Tae Man heard them and offered them each a piece. "Do you want one?"
"Yah, just brush your teeth!"
The girls threw the gum at him and Soo-Chul smacked his head. Only Ha-Yun comforted him. "I brought an extra toothbrush and toothpaste. You better use them."
Tae Man pouted. "Fine..."
Her attention diverted when she saw her girl best friend coming in. "Yah, Lee Nara!"
"Hi, Ha-Yunnie!"
Ha-Yun was just about to ask her a question when Duk-joong screamed Nara's name from the other side of the class. The two girls' heads turned to see Kimchi trying to shut his best friend up while his cheeks were blushing.
Ha-Yun turned to Nara with a teasing smile and was about to say something when Mrs Park and some military dude came in. She crossed her arms. "Is the universe against me talking today?"
Her friend laughed and told her to go sit at her place. She did as told but noticed Soyeon being captivated by the military guy. Ha-Yun silently laughed as her friend slapped Wutaek away.
"I have someone to introduce to you all," announced Mrs Park.
The military guy saluted. "Loyalty. Nice to meet you. I'm First Lieutenant Lee Chun Ho, who will be Class 3-2's platoon leader."
Ha-Yun sat up straighter. His seriousness gave her a nervous feeling. This military training was getting too real.
"First Lt. Lee will explain about the training," said Mrs Park.
"Yah, he has a diamond on his forehead," Il-ha pointed out.
Mrs Park quickly shushed them as Lt. Lee took the podium. "You'll be assigned to the Second Platoon of the Sungjin Division Combat Unit, and I'll be your platoon leader. Most of the training will take place after school when your regular classes are over."
The class wasn't happy with that. What do you mean after 8 hours of school, they have military training? They were already tired after 1 hour of class. Ha-Yun took out her chocolate and took a bite.
Lt. Lee continued, "On days when you have agendas, training will take priority over classes. So don't get confused later. Banjang?"
Yoojung stood up. "Yes?'
"You're the Senior Private."
"What's that?" Ha-Yun asked Nara. "It means she will be our leader if the commander isn't here. Which is basically the same duties as Class President."
"Next, I'll select a clerk who'll record your training, as well as your videos to send home. Any volunteers?"
Nobody raised their hand.
"No one? Broadcasting Club, anyone?"
No response.
"Then I'll randomly select-"
"Mr. Commander?" interrupted Mrs Park. "Can I recommend someone? Young-Hoon-ah, will you have a go?"
"Me?"
"Yes. I think you'd learn a lot from the experience."
"What should I learn?"
Il-ha spoke up. "Jang Young-Hoon. Just do it. It's not a big deal."
"Then do it yourself," Ha-Yun muttered. Tae Man snickered quietly at her retort.
Young-Hoon turned to Il-ha. "Then you do it." Ha-Yun's jaw dropped as Tae Man's laughs were shushed by Mrs Park.
"Give it a go and if you don't like it, I'll let you swap," said Mrs Park.
"I have to study. I don't want to waste my time."
"Damn..." whispered Tae Man. Even Ha-Yun was surprised by his answer.
"That's fine," said Lt. Lee. He looked around and his eyes settled on Kimchi. "You there, Private."
Kimchi looked surprised and turned to Wutaek to double-check. "He means you, idiot," said Wutaek. "Who... me?" Kimchi asked Lt. Lee.
"You're the clerk. Any objections?"
A few giggles were heard when Kimchi reluctantly agreed to the job.
Then, Lt. Lee said, "You get three bonus points."
"What?!"
"So does the Senior Private."
"Just like that?!"
"So many points..."
"There's a bonus point system separate from the extra CSAT points. You'll be scored for your attitude and aptitude, and ten bonus points equals one extra CSAT point. Accumulate 30 penalty points and you'll be discharged. All the extra CSAT points you earned will be scrubbed."
"I knew something was up," Tae Man said to Ha-Yun. The girl nodded. "They won't make it easy."
"Then, we'll head to the dormitory," said Lt. Lee.
Ha-Yun turned to Tae Man. "The school's big enough for dorms?"
~~
The school's big enough for dorms. They're using the lower form empty classes. The girls' dorm is next to the boys'. So Ha-Yun could hear the boys' excitement next door. Meanwhile, the girls are unpacking all their makeup and other necessities.
Ha-Yun was watching Aesol, Yoojung, and Nara play Go-Stop. It was fun watching Nara bluff the other two by pretending to not know how to play. She nearly choked on her strawberry milk when the other two caught on.
"Yah yah yah, guys!" called out Hana. "What does 'personal firearms' mean?"
"I don't know," said Soon-Yi.
"Personal guns, you idiot," said Bora, eyes staying on her tablet.
"Isn't it too early for us to get guns?" asked Ha-Yun to the three girls in front of her.
Nara shrugged. "I don't know but I'm kinda excited."
Ha-Yun rolled her eyes. "Of course you are..."
She noticed one of the military leaders assigned to their class walking in. What was her name again? Sergeant... Seo? Ah yes, Sergeant Seo walked in with her hands on her hips. Oh, this meant trouble.
"Attention."
The girls ignored her.
"Attention!"
Now they noticed her.
"Do you think this is a camping trip?"
Soyoon hugged her bag of chips closer to her chest.
"Listen carefully. Any items that you won't need here must be submitted at once." She held up a stuffed teddy bear. "What is this?"
Soon-Yi tried to snatch it from her but the sergeant was faster. "Curling irons, toys, lipsticks!"
The girls hurriedly tried (but failed) to hide all their items as the military woman continued to point out all the banned items. "Foundation, perfume... Scented candle- A scented candle??"
Soyeon blew out the flame and smiled sheepishly at the woman. The woman sighed and continued, "Your foundation, lipstick... yah, you little-"
Yoojung, Nara, Aesol, and Ha-Yun got caught trying to hide the cards. The Banjang quickly covered the cards with a blanket and the four smiled innocently at Sergeant Seo who told them not to move as she moved on to Bora.
"What? Cigarettes?"
Bora rolled her eyes. To be fair, she shouldn't have placed it somewhere obvious.
Sergeant Seo was at her limit. "GIRLS, GET MOVING AT ONCE!"
The girls scurried to get rid of all of their banned items. Ha-Yun worriedly approached the sergeant and asked, "Snacks are allowed right?"
"What snacks?"
"You see, I need to eat chocolate sometimes..." The girl was clearly nervous to talk about her condition.
"Ha-Yun-ah." Yoojung appeared beside her. I'll talk to the sergeant for you."
Ha-Yun sent an appreciative nod to Yoojung and left to help the others.
"Yah, Sunshine!" called Bora. "Can you help hide my cigarettes?"
~~
Class 2 gathered at the school field. Ha-Yun was in between Tae Man and Soo-Chul in the line to get their firearms. "Did you get anything confiscated?" Ha-Yun asked the two.
The two boys shook their heads. "Deokjoong's figurines did though. I swear I saw him tear up," said Soo-Chul. "How about you, Yunnie? Are your chocolates safe?"
The girl nodded. "Yeah, thanks to Yoojung."
"Wahh, there's nothing that girl can't do," awed Tae Man.
Suddenly, Ha-Yun felt a pang of jealousy shooting through her. Her lips formed into a frown.
Tae Man noticed her change of expression. "Yah, Sunny. Are you ok?"
"Hm?" The girl quickly smiled and adjusted her glasses. "I'm fine. Just felt weird for a second."
Tae Man smiled back and ruffled her hair. He turned around just in time as the line was moving. Ha-Yun looked back at her brother who had an annoyed expression on him. "What?" she asked.
Soo-Chul just sighed. "One day you'll understand. Now, hurry up. You're holding up the line."
After getting their guns, the classmates gathered at the benches. Tae Man was helping his best friend tie her hair up. He liked doing it and Ha-Yun had to admit, he did it better than her.
Ha-Yun inspected her own firearm. It felt weird holding it. She never thought she'd hold something with a purpose to kill. Her whole ambition is saving lives not taking them. She could only hope the medical training would come faster. "Is this even safe?" she pondered.
"Is military training itself safe?" Young-Shin said from in front of her. She liked talking to him. He was one of the few rational ones in the class. They'd have gossip sessions about the dumb things their classmates do.
"Good point." The girl sighed. "I'm just worried someone might accidentally shoot someone else."
"Don't worry yourself too much, Sunshine-"
He was interrupted by the sound of five of their classmates, including Wutaek, pointing their guns at Tae Man. Ha-Yun pointed to them and turned to Young-Shin. "My case in point."
Tae Man ran from the group as they started chasing him to the field. Soo-Chul stood up and joined them. "YAH, DO SOO-CHUL COME BACK HERE! I DON'T NEED YOU TO GET SHOT TOO!" yelled Ha-Yun to no avail.
Sergeant Kim Won Bin also came and tried to stop them. He also failed.
"Yah, ahjussi!" called out Soyeon.
"I'M NOT AN AHJUSSI!"
Ha-Yun and Young-Shin snickered at his reaction. It seemed like she hit a critical spot.
"I'm... 21. I'm only two years older than you guys."
Ha-Yun's jaw dropped. "I call bullshit," said Young-Shin. "Ditto," she replied.
"Ahjussi," Soyeon said again.
"Hm?" Sergeant Kim replied before realizing. He took another bullet.
"Can I get a clean one?" asked Soyeon. "This one looks used."
"They're all used," said the sergeant. "Come on down at once!"
A whistle interrupted him. It came from Lt. Lee. He looked pissed. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Silence.
"ASSEMBLE!"
Everyone reluctantly got up and assembled on the field. Ha-Yun quickly smacked Soo-Chul and Wutaek's head, plus kicked Tae Man's leg because he was too tall for her. "I'll kill you guys later," she angry-whispered.
"Yes, ma'am," the three chorused.
Lt. Lee began to walk between the class, forcing them to separate like the Red Sea. "The firearms that you just received... could save..." he stopped in front of Il-Ha. "Or kill you." He snatched the boy's gun.
"He finally did what I wanted to do. It's dangerous that he's holding a gun. Damn, I need chocolate," thought Ha-Yun.
Lt. Lee continued, "In times of emergency, the only thing you can trust isn't your friend or colleague next to you..." He held up the firearm. "...but your firearm in your hand. So is it OKAY for you... to handle it carelessly?"
The classmates around Ha-Yun hung their heads. She finally let out a breath of relief. That's one less thing to worry about.
"I am asking you guys," commanded Lt. Lee.
"No, it's not okay," chorused the class.
Lt. Lee pointed to his right. "See that goalpost over there?"
Ha-Yun looked at the goalpost. Oh no.
"The first three people."
Ha-Yun looked around if anybody else caught on but everyone was just confused.
"Go."
She noticed Young-Shin adjusting his glasses whilst inching away. "Yah, Jo Young-Shin!" she ran after him as he started sprinting. The rest of the class followed suit.
Somehow, Jang-Soo managed to surpass both of them and got first, Ha-Yun and Young-Shin fell in line behind him. The two of them sent a death glare at the champion.
Jang-Soo shrugged. "You guys are slow."
~~
The day ended with the girls walking dragging themselves back into the dorms. Ha-Yun placed her gun next to her bed and fell face flat on the mattress.
"I'm dying." She heard Yeonju say.
"Me too," said Soyeon. "I'm dying because I'm so smitten by the platoon leader. He's totally my type!"
Ha-Yun laughed in her pillow.
"Yah... what about our handsome classmate, Do Soo-Chul?" asked Yeonju.
That made Ha-Yun sit up. "Yah! Don't talk about my brother like that. It's disgusting."
"Sorry, Sunshine. Yeonju's right," said Hana.
Ha-Yun covered her ears with her pillow. She had enough.
"It's okay, Ha-Yun-ah. He's not mature enough," said Soyeon.
"Thank you for noticing."
Nara nudged her. "Says you. Tae Man's the most immature in our class."
"No he isn't!" denied Ha-Yun. "Sure, he usually is but you guys never take him seriously anyway." She crossed her arms. "I don't even know how he relates to this conversation."
"The reason why you're so defensive about him is why," teased Soyeon.
Ha-Yun's ears turned pink. "I don't get what you mean-"
"Girls, girls, look at my rash!" exclaimed Hana. "This is what happens when I'm in the sun even for a short moment."
Soyeon worriedly checked her own arms. "What about me?"
Ha-Yun gave them her large tube of sunscreen. "I knew you guys would forget to wear it."
The two girls quickly rubbed sunscreen on their arms. "That's not how it works- Nevermind."
"Guys, hand over your rifles. Don't leave them everywhere," said Yoojung.
Ha-Yun, being the only one who heard her, picked up her gun and stored it. Yoojung sent her an appreciative nod and looked back at the rest. "Yah!"
"I swear this is like the fifth time today someone had to scream to grab their attention," mumbled Ha-Yun as she headed back to her bed.
"Do you want to do that race again?" threatened Yoojung. Damn, didn't know she was capable of being scary.
~~
It's nighttime and Ha-Yun forgot where she put her conditioner. She headed into the boys' dorm next door. "Chul-ah, did I pack my conditioner in your bag?"
"Yah, I thought you only packed your chocolates in here." Her brother handed her his bag.
Ha-Yun rummaged through the bag and found the bottle. "Found it!"
Soo-Chul rolled his eyes and snatched back his bag. Wutaek laughed at the siblings' interaction. "Might as well use his whole bag, Ha-Yunnie."
"Yah, Im Wutaek, say your last words," she said before tackling Wutaek down.
The girl was picked up by a pair of familiar arms. "Come on, Sunny. There's no need for violence," said Tae Man as he adjusted her glasses.
Ha-Yun blew her hair out of her face and sent a glare at Wutaek who stuck his tongue out. It's as if she had two brothers.
Then, Il-Ha came running in. "Yah, this is crazy! Gather around."
Everyone formed a circle around him to see the thing on his phone. Ha-Yun rested her chin on Tae Man's shoulder. The video was showing a bunch of soldiers at a zoo who SHOT THE LIONS?!
"What's wrong with them?!" she exclaimed.
"Wahh shibal, isn't this fake?" asked Wutaek.
"Yeah, it's got to be," said Huirak. "Why would soldiers kill animals? This is totally fake."
"No."
Everyone's heads turned to Deok-Joong. "I've seen this before," he said seriously; he climbed on the tables and sat on it. "You see, one of the things that the government does before war breaks out... is getting rid of the animals in zoos. Tigers! Lions! Elephants! They kill such vicious animals."
"But why?" asked Kimchi.
"What he said," Ha-Yun signaled to the Nobita-looking dude.
Duk-Jeong turned to them. "If starving animals escape... they'll eat people. That's why."
"Then what about the animals that aren't vicious?" asked Tae Man.
"Well... they'll be just left there to starve and die."
"That's too cruel," said Ha-Yun. Tae Man nodded.
Wutaek snatched Deok-Joong's bag of chips. "Starve to death, you idiot."
"Yah, let me eat the chips-"
"Hold on." Young-Shin grabbed his shoulder. "If what Deok-Joong is saying is true... it means a war has broken out."
Ha-Yun took a bite of her chocolate and offered it to Tae Man who happily accepted it.
"That's right," said Deok-Joong. "It's either that or it will begin very soon."
Ha-Yun shuddered. Tae Man placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "No way," he said. "Deok-Joongie, who told you that?"
"What?"
"Where did you hear about it?"
"Oh, Machine Gun Parade March. Animation."
Tae Man rolled his eyes. "Aish..."
Everyone walked away from the weeb...
"YOU DESERVE A BEATING, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
Tae Man placed him in a headlock. The rest joined him in the abuse. Ha-Yun took Tae Man's neck pillow and hit Deok-Joong's head.
Unbeknownst to them, Lt. Lee walked in upon hearing the commotion. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?"
Everyone stopped. Tae Man, Soo-Chul, and Young-Shin immediately hid Ha-Yun behind them. Lt. Lee looked at Young-Hoon.
"Where are you going?"
"I have to study."
"You're not allowed to go off on your own. If you want to study, do it here."
"They're too loud. I can't focus here." He glanced back. "Kwon Il-Ha over there has his cell phone."
Lt. Lee entered the room more and looked straight into Il-Ha's eyes. "You're not allowed to keep your cell phone. Did you not know that?" He held out his hand. "Hand it over."
Il-Ha groaned. "Hurry up," whispered Wutaek. Il-Ha reluctantly handed the phone to their platoon leader.
"You violated the rules for cell phone use. You get three penalty points."
"Okay, sure," said Il-Ha mockingly.
"I swear he needs a good punch of sense knocked in him," thought Ha-Yun.
Lt. Lee turned around and left the room. Il-Ha approached Young-Hoon. "Yah, I'l talk to you later."
"We can talk now."
"Aish, you little piece of-" Il-Ha was just about to punch him when-
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Lt. Lee appeared at the door again. "Follow me, both of you. And private Hwang Ha-Yun?"
Ha-Yun peeked her head from behind Tae Man's shoulder. "Yes, sir?"
"You better be out of this room by the time night watch starts."
She saluted. "Yes, sir."
~~
Ha-Yun, in fact, stayed a bit longer than she should. Not her fault when Wutaek invited her to a game of Uno, one of the few games the military let them play and only at night. See, she usually wouldn't say she'd actually kill someone. But if it's Wutaek, then yes.
He was on his fifth round of winning. One last card in his hand. "I swear you are cheating, Im Wutaek."
"You just have a skill issue, Ha-Yunnie," he said as he placed his last card. "Uno Game."
"YAH, COME HERE!" she grabbed him by the collar. Then a rumble came that made her lose her grip. Thankfully, Tae Man caught her in time before her face planted on the table.
"Yunnie, are you okay?" asked her brother.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She straightened out her clothes. "What was that?"
"That almost made me jump," said Wutaek.
Tae Man still hadn't loosened his grip around Ha-Yun's waist. "Do you think the three are okay?" he asked referring to Il-Ha, Young-Hoon, and Kimchi.
Soo-Chul coughed upon seeing Tae Man's hand placement. That made the two immediately separate from each other with blush tinting their cheeks.
"I'm sure Lt. Lee is with them," said Ha-Yun as she finished her bar of chocolate. However, she had a bad feeling in her stomach.
~~
Class 3-2, Hwang Ha-Yun
Hi, eomma, appa! Soo-Chul and Tae Man are doing fine. It's hard to get them out of trouble on the first day. They almost got themselves shot. I don't think they should be given guns.
My other classmates are doing well too. Remember Nara? She's loving it. Her grandpa used to be in the army and already taught her how to shoot a gun. It's scary sometimes. Yah, Kimchi! I can see you blushing behind the camera.
(Ha-Yun-ah!)
BAHAHAH!! That was Kimchi. He's our class' clerk. He's the one who records everything that we do. If you forgot how he looks like, just imagine Nobita from Doraemon.
(Hey!)
Okok sorry sorry. Eomma, appa. My friend, Soyeon, has a crush on our commander. She used to love coming over just to talk to oppa but now apparently she likes mature men. Can't judge her though. The lieutenant can be dashing. Kimchi, don't tell anyone I said that.
Oh! And I have this classmate, Young-Hoon. He always studies and never talks to anyone. I tried offering a chocolate to him and he declined. Who declines chocolate?! I pity him though. It's hard being pressured to always be at the top of the school.
And it's even harder when Kwon Il-Ha keeps picking on him. Like what's his deal?
Yoojung was also very nice to me. She helped explain my condition so I could keep my supply of chocolate.
And Tae Mannie-
(Ha-Yun-ah)
Yes?
(All that rambling and you forgot about yourself)
Oh. I'm fine.

Today's Webtoon
Tumblr media
For someone that likes to read webtoons, this series was so nice to watch. It gives us a window to how webtoon creation and publication works. I like the characters: artists and the PDs. Their stories ranged from sweet to sad, but it was great to see the all reached their own happiness. Even though this series is not a romantic drama, it did have its romantic touches that made it sweeter. It leaves this subplot in the opening as they accomplish their dream as a team and move on to the next collective dream. I wonder what will happen with Oh Ma Eum's relationship with Seok Ji Hyung and Jun Yeong. But even though it leaves that question open, it doesn't leave me disappointed or wanting to know what happens. I think that it just reminds us that life continues even after one chapter of our lives ends and things will happen at their own sweet time, there is no need to force things.
Work drama that will keep you smiling and cheering for the characters. Really loved it.

What I'm watching
Summer Strike 1-5: I went into Summer Strike to compare it with Welcome to Samdal-ri, and found it so contrasting it borders on symmetry. Unlike Samdal, Yeo-reum, our heroine, is so anonymous that her mother's death feels like it never happened, this catastrophe barely puncturing the routine of her corporate grind. And Yeo-reum is a stranger to Andok, the sleepy seaside town she retires to as she tries to cherish time in her life again. There's fun perspective switching in the early episodes. Yeo-reum wanders through Andok with hazy whimsy, blossoms in the air, the sea; but the townsfolk are grounded in very specific interiors as they discuss and negotiate her place in their town. Already, without her even knowing, they've fitted her into the politics of their small world. Yeo-reum runs away to Andok to get her time back and she's very lucky that she can do that, because others are desperate to leave for Seoul. The synergy between Seoul and Andok is very real, and more nuanced than anything WTS tried to pull. Success isn't guaranteed in Seoul, peace isn't guaranteed in Andok, & happiness isn't guaranteed in either. Bom, the high-schooler she meets, needs an escape - her poverty and dysfunctional family feel magnified by Andok's smallness and the intense judgement of its people. Bom and Yeo-reum's sisterhood is so touching, and it wouldn't happen if Yeo-reum wasn't an outsider, wasn't presenting a vision of an adulthood not defined by desperation. I love them so much 🥹 The direction and performances are brilliant, especially Shin Eun-soo (Bom) and Park Ye-young (Ji-young).
No Gain No Love 1-4: Cannot believe how fun this show is. It hits its emotional beats with surprising effectiveness - I was seriously moved by the wedding, where Hae-young's foster siblings visit (and mourn) her mom, who can't remember them. And I vibe with its humour so much its almost embarrassing. Hae-young and her sisters are the perfect trio. People were lamenting pairing The Shin Min-ah with Kim Young-dae (very valid), & I was sure I'd enjoy the secondary couple more (with my fav Lee Sang-yi) - but that has not been the case! Kim Young-dae has outgrown the stiltedness that plagues these pretty boy actors, and his chemistry with Shin Min-ah is palpable. It helps that the show isn't afraid of sex and Hae-young is an assertive adult woman who knows exactly what she wants. NGNL isnt deep but its very honest and true to itself. I'd forgotten that you could write a romcom with characters that felt "real".
Perfect Family 1-6: My Sky Castle parents are back!! Kim Byung-chul & Yoon Se-ah have the most striking, photographable faces, which makes them the perfect pair for a gorgeously directed slow-burn thriller about two parents nestled in secrets, a mystery to their increasingly paranoid daughter. It's very slow moving so far, building up tension + expectations - I'm hoping what it's building up to is worth it. But I'm enjoying the slow-burn so far.
Beauty and Mr Romantic 1-40:
Tumblr media
loll but in all seriousness, I've enjoyed my (re)discovery of charming Im Soo-hyang (which led me to check out My ID, one of the best things I've watched this year); I've enjoyed chatting abt it w/ the lovely people on Dramabeans, I've enjoyed the weekend check-in on this show's insanity. So it's not like I'm not having fun, but this show really, really, really doesn't want to be liked. I'm sure writer-nim is doing this on purpose - psychos outnumber sensible characters 6:1, and the writing goes out of its way to be as mean and low as possible. I never expected much from it, but there was a point where it was cute, and now it just seems determined to sink itself on its own aimless cynicism.

Solo Leveling Characters and their Zodiac signs
*Heavily based on my headcanons for their ages and the Eastern/Chinese zodiac
Baek Yoon-Ho - Tiger
This should be obvious. However, I also headcanon him to be 34 (based on manhwa merch) rather than the game age of 37 he can't be that old
I will be using Baek Yoon-Ho's age to set everyone else's age
Choi Jong-In - Snake
This is based on how Baek Yoon-Ho calls Choi Jong-In a snake in the story. So if Choi Jong-In was born in the year of the snake, that would make him 31 (this is where I got his age from by the way)
This also fits into my previous headcanon that his age is somewhere between 28-32 (note that I'm ignoring the in-game age)
Min Byung-Gyu - Monkey
If Yoon-Ho is 34, and Min Byung-Gyu is 28 (stated in-game), then this would make Min Byung-Gyu be born in the year of the monkey.
Also based on this tweet (Long story short, Min Byung-Gyu is called a "gorilla-type healer" (based on a sketchy translator))
Lee Ju-Hee - Rabbit
The game says she's 22, but the novel says that she's 21, so I'll be going with 21
Scaling from Min Byung-Gyu's age, this would make Lee Ju-Hee a rabbit
Woo Jin-Chul - Rabbit
I headcanon Woo Jin-Chul to be 2 years older than Choi Jong-In, which would put him at 33 (he's rather young in the game when the novel states that he is older than that)
He's rather similar to a rabbit too. Just the vibe
Liu Zhigang - Rooster
Based on lobyu's headcanon that he is six years older than Woo Jin-Chul
Also, the rooster suits him. There's also a dragon, though that would make him rather young
Lim Tae-Gyu - Rat
So if Baek Yoon-Ho is 34, and Lim Tae-Gyu is 36 (from the game), then Lim Tae-Gyu would be born in the year of the rat
It's kind of fitting. Also just the vibes
Sung Jin-Woo - Rat
Based on how the other ages have been calculated, if Sung Jin-Woo is 24, then he would be a rat
Very accurate in my opinion-
Cha Hae-In - Ox
Cha Hae-In is 23, one year younger than Sung Jin-Woo, which would make her an ox
Strong woman has a strong animal
Park Hee-Jin - Dog
Park Hee-Jin is 26 according to the game, making her born in the year of the dog
Lost puppy energy. Very cute
Go Gun-Hee - Goat
Had to do some math to get there, but if he's 87, then he's a goat
Wise energy. And will kick your a-
Go Gun-Hee = GOAT (credits to manawari)
Sung Jin-Ah and Han Song-Yi - Snake
Assuming they are the same age and Han Song-Yi is 19 according to the game, they're both snakes
Accurate with how Jin-Ah teases Jin-Woo and based on Song-Yi's personality at first
