[30tdl]

Guys. Guys. I’m back from the dead just to scream about a second season of PickaTDL!!! I’m still not through with it yet but this is a WHOLE lot harder than the first season. The characters are a lot harder to figure out??? And there’s a lot more random opportunity mixed in too, so you won’t always be able to control your fate. But. I will be back with my findings.

Heeseung knows that Dr. Bahng told him to leave work at work. However, Dr. Bahng said nothing about bringing home to work. He said nothing about thinking about you at work, or missing you, or daydreaming about you instead of analyzing the reports that a pair of rookies messed up. He also said nothing about reading articles by some sketchy romance columnist on how to keep your relationship alive, which is exactly what Heeseung was scrolling through right now. 

There are things in a relationship that must always be shared in order to avoid, or resolve conflict. How the other person is making you feel, how you are making them feel, and how to tackle both negative checklists properly. It is key to always remember that it must be you and your partner against the problem, not you and your partner against each other.

You make Heeseung feel…alive. You make him feel loved, cherished, and even at some bizarre times, worshiped. You make him appreciate waking up at the ass crack of dawn, your sleeping face relaxed as he peppers kisses across your warm skin – something he's thankful never manages to wake you up, but it adds to all the adoration he holds in his heart for you.

How does he make you feel? Dejected, neglected, rejected. Pushed aside for the true love of his life – work. You never bring it up unless he asks. You never brought it up until last July, when he was slumped in his office chair after drinking half a bottle of sherry whiskey, listening to music and thinking about yet another dead end that deterred him from finding Soyoung. You had approached him with a gentle gaze, a soft touch to his shoulder and asking about taking a shower together. You never questioned him, you never pressured him, you never tried to make him something you assumed he just wasn't – an attentive, doting husband.

And he remembers how he asked you, too. He remembers spinning around in his chair, asking you if he was everything you'd ever wanted. Asking you if he was living up to your expectations, as a husband, as a life partner, as a friend, even.

And he remembers the way you sighed carefully before perching on his desk. "You're everything I've ever wanted, and I'm sure you'll continue to grow and be even more deserving of the love I hold for you." You had smiled, your hand coming to rest on his cheek. "Nothing we can't work through, you know? If I was given a choice in another life, another world – I'd still choose you."

He will never forget it, and he can still feel the warmth of your lips against his as you led him to the bathroom. He can still feel the ache of your love on his skin from the way you held him under the running water, quietly basking in his presence as the mint of your shampoo filled his nose. Nothing is as special to him as you are. 

There are things that should routinely be shared in order to maintain a homeostasis of the calendar. Asking how their day was, if you have any ideas for dinner tonight, or if you'd like to do something this weekend to celebrate the mundane. It shouldn't be difficult to establish a routine with your partner, if you are in tune with them. A kiss goodbye in the morning, a warm embrace in the evenings. A shared meal, a shared bath, a shared bed. 

Heeseung can't remember the last time he fully checked in with you – you always have something to do. You always attempt new creative projects, and his fingers toy with the fabric of his slacks as he remembers that you hand stitched them. He thinks about how you waited for him all night yesterday, and the disappointment you must have felt when he arrived late. He thinks about how he just doesn't make time to tackle the problem that you two are constantly glossing over by being intimate – he knows you don't feel loved. 

He didn't ask you about your day yesterday, or the day before, or last week. He didn't ask you if you were sewing anything new, learning any new pieces on the piano collecting dust in the living room. He hasn't asked about your mother, but at least he knows you don't like to talk about her. 

Heeseung hasn't asked you a single thing about yourself, or your life, and he doesn't know how long it's been. Even last night, your eyes were focused entirely on him – the way his lips twitched when you said you liked the wine he chose, the way he pulled your leg over his in the booth you were sharing. You asked him about work, and he just shook his head as he pointed out the new menu items. 

You love him so selflessly.

Something that works for my partner and I is parallel play. We aren't necessarily doing something together, but we are present in the same room and doing our own thing. Knowing that he is there, and that if I need him, I can reach for him, adds a comfort to our relationship. Aside from this, we also come together every two weeks and address any issues we may be experiencing – both in our relationship and our individual lives. We resolve the issues about us together, and advise the other on our personal issues. Balance!

You do this a lot. If Heeseung is home, you'll wander to wherever he is and sit down where you can, and quietly go about your business. Sometimes it's a new cross-stitch, sometimes it's just putting a headphone in and listening to music. Sometimes you're giving yourself a pedicure, sometimes you're just sitting there staring at his corkboard of paraphernalia while matching your breathing to his. It was subtle, something you thought he'd never notice.

He sighs, exiting out of the tab before grabbing his coat off the back of his chair. Tugging it on, he uses one hand to log out of his computer when he hears three knocks on the door. A lightness of the rapping knuckles similar to yours…and your smiling face appears as you crack open the door. "Surprise?" He hates that he can't bite back his smile, a few of his fellow officers wide-eyed at his expression. He nods silently, and you extend your hand for him when you hear his coworkers whispering about you. With a dejected look, you tuck your hand back into the pocket of your jeans, "Guess we don't want them gossiping, right?" "Right." He mumbles, his own hand twitching around the doorknob as he pulls it shut behind him. He wants to reach for you, embrace the warmth you bring, show you off to the people he often calls his friends. Sunghoon catches his eye, a quizzical look on his face before shaking his head. 

Heeseung reaches for you, but you've already made your way towards the door. Your smile has lessened as you open the door, holding it for him. "How was work?" You ask as he joins you in the cool air, and he wastes no time wrapping his arm around your waist and pulling you in close, his nose buried in your hair. You hesitate to wrap your arms around him, instead leaning back to try and meet his eyes. "Hee?" "Don't ask me about work." He mutters, before pressing his lips to yours softly. You let out a noise of surprise, but you can't melt into his touch before he pulls away. "I hate talking about work, let's talk about you. Over lunch." He takes your hand in his, gently pulling you to his side as he makes his way to the car. He doesn't see yours in the parking lot, so he only assumes you got a rideshare before you clear your throat. "Are you okay?" The words are slightly jumbled as he leads you to the passenger side, opening the door for you, helping you step in. "Hm? Why do you ask?"

"Well…you're actually out of the office. And you want to go to lunch…and you don't want to talk about work?" Your voice is meek, and it makes his chest ache as he reaches to buckle your seatbelt in for you. "I just want to spend time with you. Shall we?" His smile is a little forced, until he sees the soft gloss of embarrassment over your eyes. "Okay."

[themissinghand]

WELCOME BACK AUTHOR!! WE MISS YOU!!!.Sorry I was too excited. Can I ask Kim Dokja x excited readers!. This happened after Kim Dokja became the Demon King and he came back and they both met again after a long time disappearing so she first met Kim.Com. With Kim Dokja, she is soft but with Yoo Joonghyuk, he and she's like a cat and a dog because she's still angry with Yoo Joonghyuk for punching and stabbing Dokja. (I want to punch Yoo Joonghyuk even once). She and the girls became friends especially Han Soyoung. Reader has an unexpected constellation too (make Kim Dokja surprised) because I want Reader to smile arrogantly and amused to Yoo Joonghyuk.❤️❤️❤️❤️

I believe Kim Dokja needs a full explanation to the reader because the reader misunderstood his relationship with Yoo Joonghyuk ( companion). she is like Kim Dokja, are you cheating on me?!!!.💀.

Bye-bye author,love you😘💕.

Omniscient Reader Viewpoint Back with a Bang: The Demon King Returns!

Summary: In which Kim Dokja was gone for a little longer than he expected, and now he has to deal with the aftermath. 

Or, chaos ensues, aka Dokja is a little jelly.

Pairing: Kim Dokja x F! Reader, Slight Yoo Joonghyuk x Reader

Note: Hey Anon, I wrote some similar (and emotional) stories with Kim Dokja x Reader with the whole demon king fiasco, so you can check those out! As such, I wanted to focus more on the comedy aspects since our dear squid was gone for a long time.

Also, this came out longer than I thought it would be.

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for manhwa readers. Possessive Dokja? Also swearing, pardon her french.

★・・・・・・★

Seeing your fist connect with the sunfish’s cheek and sending him into the sunset was not something Kim Dokja expected to see first after returning. 

“You son of a bitch! I’m going to send you back to the ocean if you say that again you sunfish!” Colourful language spewed out your lips as Han Sooyoung added more kindle to the flames, with Lee Jihye trying to hold you back (but failing as she was basically dragged by you across the sand). 

Meanwhile, Lee Hyunsung was trying to convince Yoo Joonghyuk to back down, but we all know that’s not happening. 

Yes, Kim Dokja had been gone for longer than he anticipated. 

The responsibilities and trials of being the Demon King had consumed him, keeping him away from the world and from you, his love and girlfriend. 

What should’ve been a tearful reunion and a mix of excitement and nervousness, turned to him trying to figure out what the heck is going on. 

[Constellation "Secretive Plotter" mentions that Incarnation “Kim Dokja” was literally a Ugly Squid] 

Kim Dokja resisted the urge to flip him off. 

Instead, with a deep breath, he called you out. 

“(Y/N)!” Your rage seemed to instantly evaporate before you had a look of wounded puppy. 

“Party pooper.” Han Sooyoung rolled her eyes, but nudged him towards you.

“Dokjaaaaaa!” Sprinting towards him, Dokja prepared for the impact, until he was completely knocked off his feet, and the two of you crashed on the ground. 

“You were gone for so long! I thought you might never come back," you exclaimed, your voice filled with emotion and buried your face into his shoulder.

Kim Dokja hugged you back, savoring the warmth of your embrace. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be away for so long." 

As they pulled apart after a while and you helped pull Dokja up, he noticed Yoo Joonghyuk standing nearby, watching them with his usual stoic expression. Before Kim Dokja could say anything, you turned to Yoo Joonghyuk and glared.

"And you! I still haven’t forgiven the fact that you punched and stabbed Dokja! Do you have any idea how worried I was?" you snapped, crossing your arms.

Yoo Joonghyuk raised an eyebrow, unfazed by your anger.

"It was necessary."

"It was not necessary!" you retorted, your eyes blazing. "If you ever do that again, I'll punch you myself!"

Kim Dokja chuckled, trying to diffuse the tension. "Let's not fight. We have more important things to discuss."

You huffed but nodded, turning your attention back to Kim Dokja. 

"You're right. We need to catch up."

As they moved to a more comfortable area, and everyone huddled around like little ducks, Dokja learned how much the world changed without him. 

Not only had everyone become leaders of various alliances and managed areas in Korea, you had formed close bonds with them in Kim Dokja's absence, especially with Han Sooyoung. 

“You know, when you ‘died’, she fought with that sunfish every day.” Han Sooyoung whispered as others shared their stories. Dokja shifted his eyes to see her reflecting on the past. 

Dokja could see that, after all, you didn’t want him to die. 

In fact, you were willing to betray the world for him. 

You stood in front of him and raised your sword against the Kim Company, until he was the one that sent you far away. 

And when you came running through the doors like a madwoman with bloodshot eyes, it was when Yoo Joonghyuk stabbed him with his sword. 

To see you so happy and relieved at his return made him feel so guilty, after all, he couldn’t forget the look of a mix of disbelief and betrayal in your eyes back then.

After all, he promised that he wouldn’t sacrifice himself again. 

"So, Demon King, huh?" Sooyoung whispered-teased, a playful glint in her eyes. "Quite the promotion."

Kim Dokja sighed, running a hand through his hair. 

"It's a long story. But I'm here now.”"

“You better. Otherwise, she’s gonna leave you for someone better.” 

“What?” Dokja suddenly said out loud, so loud that everyone looked at him. 

“Dokja?” You looked at him confused, but he returned the same puzzled look. 

Because you had a fist against the protagonist’s cheek, whereas he had a hand around your collar as if this was a normal interaction between cats and dogs. In fact, you two looked a little childish like this. 

“Not again.” Lee Jihye huffed, and indeed everyone seemed like it was the norm since no one took it seriously. 

“By the way, (Y/N) is the dog. If you didn’t know.” Thanks Han Sooyoung. 

[Constellation "Secretive Plotter" is amused by this situation]

“Anyways, did you know that (Y/N)-ssi has a pretty strong constellation?” Yoo Sangah being the one braincell of the group successfully changed the conversion. 

“Yea, you mean a sugar daddy-” Yoo Sangah covered her mouth with a menacing smile. 

Dokja never looked so confused.

You let go of the sunfish and the other did the same with a huff. Your eyes sparkled with mischief. 

"I do. Want to see?" You grinned as you rushed over to his side. 

“You know the constellation that you said that you didn’t know much about? But then follow you around every scenario and keep donating money to you?” 

Dokja blinks and racks his brain a little, which constellation was this? If it was a powerful one, then he should know them right? 

“Say hi~”

A beat of silence. 

“Huh? He’s usually pretty talkative…at least whenever I beat up the sunfish. And he donated a lot to Dokja before.” Said sunfish scoffs before pulling out his sword as if to intimidate someone. 

[Constellation “Abyssal Black Flame Dragon” is snickering and telling the “Sugar Daddy” to come out] 

[Constellation “Prisoner of the Golden Headband” is calling his upstairs neighbour to show up like a man]

[Constellations donated 1000 coins]

Dokja suddenly remembers (he only has 4 loyal followers after all), and suddenly felt a chill go down his spine.

[Constellation “Secretive Plotter” is amused by this situation]

[Constellation “Secretive Plotter” donated 5,000 coins]

“Damn! I told you! He always donates more than double the coins!” Yoo Sangah yeets the writer out. 

When it’s finally just the two of them left, Dokja spilled everything, from his plans and thoughts and reasonings, and finally to how he ended up here.

Somewhat frightened, Dokja didn’t dare to meet your eyes, until you pulled him into a hug. 

“I’m still mad, but next time, please, let me in.” With a nod, he understood he couldn’t leave you hanging like that again. 

“But…Dokja, that aside. Are you cheating on me?” Dokja froze in your hold that suddenly feels a little tight. 

“W-What do you mean?” 

“Are you and that sunfish-” Before you could even continue, he pulled back and stared right into your eyes with absolute seriousness. 

“No. Absolutely not.” 

“You sure? Uriel-” 

“Yes. I am absolutely sure we are not what you are thinking of.” 

“Are you sure?” 

“I would rather die-” Your pointed look frightened him as he quickly corrected himself, “-rather eat tomatoes than be with him.” 

You looked surprised for a moment, and he shivered in disgust at the thought of tomatoes. 

But you still had a look of disbelief in your eyes. At least until he pulled you in for a quick kiss. 

Until one turned to two, then three in quick succession and- 

“Okay! I get it!” You bonked him on the head and he almost whined. But he decides to hold back when he sees your blushing face and cute grumpy face. 

“Fine, I trust you. Just..I need you to trust me just like I trust you.” 

“I promise.” Kim Dokja indulged in your warmth as he hugged you tightly. 

“You’re suffocating me!” 

“Sorry!” He just missed you a little too much, and he knew he had to make up for the lost time.

“What the…didn’t you say that they fought every day?” 

In fact, you and Yoo Joonghyuk were fighting at this moment, where he could feel the waves of impact graze his skin. 

To even think that you were close to the protagonist’s skill and level is crazy.

“Mhmm.” Han Sooyoung scrolled on her phone and although her expression looked relaxed, she had a smirk on her lips.

As the evening progressed, Kim Dokja noticed something peculiar. Every time Yoo Joonghyuk interacted with you, there was a subtle softness in his usually stoic demeanor. It wasn't obvious, but it was there. 

Was he overthinking it? After all, the protagonist fell in love with Lee Seolwa in his previous regressions.

The more he thought of it, the more he felt himself going crazy. Rightfully so, especially when he defeated you in the fight (spar?) and as you spewed curses at him, he pulled you up so easily by one arm. 

If only you had seen Dokja’s expression slowly morph from a suspicious to burning glare, but you couldn’t as you were dusting yourself off and trying to clean your wounds. 

But that look. 

That fucking sunfish.

Before Dokja could run over and smack that sunfish, he dared send Dokja a look as if challenging him.  

“Told you.” Dokja couldn’t even retort back to Sooyoung as he was rushing towards you while calling your name, carefully hiding his annoyed expression. 

“(Y/N), let me help you.” You accepted his hand naturally with a smile and thanks. 

But before you leave the protagonist on his own, you toss him a healing elixir. 

“I’ll defeat you next time.” 

“That won’t be possible.” He said with a smirk, and that effectively pissed you off. 

“You sunfish piece of crap-” 

“(Y/N)!” Dokja had to pull you away (even though he didn’t want to), but before he left, he sent that sunfish a victorious look. 

Even so, Yoo Joonghyuk wasn't fazed, in fact, he simply smirked, the same nasty one when he tossed Dokja into the sea in their first meeting.

Dokja needed to punch him at least once. Just once.

Maybe twice...

Later, when you and Dokja found a quiet moment alone, Kim Dokja couldn't help but ask. 

"So, about Yoo Joonghyuk... Has he always been this, uh, attentive to you?"

You looked puzzled for a moment before realization dawned. 

"Has he? Nah, he’s just an asshole. I’m the only one who dares to fight him everyday, and he’s like your typical cold duke personality man. The one who says ‘Interesting’ at anything.” Kim Dokja chuckled though still feeling a little annoyed. 

“Don't worry. You will always be better than that sunfish. You're the one I love.” You announced confidently, making Dokja feel relieved and pulling you into a hug.

"Good. Because I couldn't handle losing you to him."

Little did you know, those spars you have with Yoo Joonghyuk everyday? Now turned into 2 vs 1, and let's just say, chaos is a new norm.

next chapter brings us a real introduction to sung hyunjae character of all time

[whateverimcurrentlyobsessedwith]

Hi hi hii!! It’s me again!!! I started wondering, how would the characters in Best Teacher Baek be in a beach day. Here’s my opinion: (sorry that this is long, also I’m using the names that appear in the webtoon, so sorry if you get confused on who I’m talking about😭)

[Lifeguards: Su Namgoong, Jun Dokgo]

As the Student Council President, I feel like Jun would rather watch and make sure that nobody is drowning nor fighting.

While on the other hand Su would be most likely watching over Suryong. It’s not because he doesn’t trust him and his ability to keep himself safe and others safe, it’s just because he doesn’t trust his way of doing stuff. But even with 10 people watching over him, he somehow manages to slip away and cause some commotion.

[Sandcastle Competition: Gang Heonwon, Cheon Wiji, Hyeok Yasu]

Cheon was just minding his business and making a sand castle when suddenly someone walked by and saw his sandcastle and they were praising him.

Gang and Hyeok overheard and they were like “we can do that too” and then that started the sandcastle competition. I’ll let you decided on who won

[Tanning: Yeomin, Iran Yu, Soyoung Jaegal]

I imagine Yeomin and Iran to be good friends so I see them both chatting while lying down.

Iran hates how people gave her the title of The Sword Flower merely because of her looks.

Many people stay away from Yeomin due to the rumor that she was the thief behind several instances of theft in the girls dormitory. They’re very different but so similar at the same time that I can’t help but imagine them as friends.

Su has my girl Soyoung OVERWORKED. She needs a good rest🙏

[Walking Around: Geukryeom Mae, Soso Dang]

As the Head Supervisor, it’s Geukryeom’s duty to make sure everything is going well and is totally not giving threatening looks to students of the opposite gender that are getting too close to each other.

As the Vice President of the Student Council, it’s also Soso’s duty to make sure everything is going smoothly and is totally not walking around just to be able to look at Suryong in a bathing suit(I would do the same)

[Grill Duty: ILO Myeong, Sang-Ung Geo]

(ILO is capitalized cus it looks word as Ilo) When I first saw ILO I thought, “he can definitely cook” therefore he’s on grill duty making all the food. (He gets possessive over his grill, nobody is allowed to cook on it except for himself )

Sang-Ung provided the food, and I don’t mean a few cheap ingredients. I’m talking about a massive amount of expensive ingredients.

[Surfing/swimming: Yeonho Ak, Muheun Baek, Suryong Baek]

I’m fully convinced that Muheun can surf like a pro, you can’t tell me otherwise. Just look at him.

Yeonho is mostly swimming, he went to Muheun for some surfing tips but he still hasn’t got the hang of it. But he can swim for a long time

Suryong spent some time with his dad but then disappeared for like a few hours. Nobody knew where he went but he came back unharmed with a faint smell of blood and smoke.

This is my opinion on how the characters would be on a beach day! (Haven’t read the novel so some characters might be ooc😭)

Hello again!! I absolutely love this idea so much!!

For the sand castle competition I'm not sure who would win. I feel like Kang would either be pretty good at it or absolutely suck. So Cheon would be decent it looks nice but it isn't spectacular. Yasu I think wouldn't be very good at it. Very bad at it even.

Let's say Kang won. He'd be boisterous about it so much so that he wouldn't notice Yasu slipping away with a bucket...

He noticed when he got drenched. This ultimately resulted into a full water fight with the other students getting dragged in.

If the water fight happened before Suryong disappearance he would have dragged the teachers into the fight as well.

As for the tanning I feel like it would indeed be those three but not for the entire day Yu would try to tan but joined the boys in their sand building competition later on because 'she got got bored'.

Yeomin would be chilling in the water for some time before finding a parasol to sit under as I feel like she would be the type to burn instead of tan. After some time Yu joins her but she stays in the sun to tan.

As for Jeagal she would tan for most of the time. Getting up to grab some food or water, or to try to find a certain missing blue eyed trouble causing fellow.

Speaking of Suryong he disappeared for those few hours 'because he was helping a friend' When he did come back he did so by tackling Su into the water. So his return was announced with the following dialogue.

"SURYO-"

*SPLASH*

[hymnoire]

In the fashion and posture of a greek goddess, the pages of her magazine are being flipped as Gaya is installed down Mari's ( @goldenheirs ) bed of sheets made of silk, on her side in her dress made of bloody red. Getting ready for the W party together is the highlight of the night for Gaya. For now, she is lounging, while Mari is finishing getting dressed. The W party, one for every socialite, celebrity and figure of the korean wealth and glamor scene to attend. Before facing the cameras, the empty conversations and the spotlights, it is an ideal time for the two to catch up on life and gossips. A week away from each other has been too much to bare already, the two heiresses do live colorful and busy lives. An unexpected friendship one could say, the Perfect one Gaya would certify. No secret, no lies between Gaya and Mari, that's what makes them dangerous to the Yoons and the Kangs, like two evil twins speaking a secret language. "Well well well, look at you It girl, you're once again center paging. Mmmm let's see..." Gaya speaks with amusement, her eyes traveling from Mari back to her pages : reading Dispatch nonsense will always be amusement to her. "While a date for the Royal Wedding is still awaiten by the press, fans have speculated the union of Seoul Dynamics Heiress, Yoon Mari, and KKO group heir, Kang Bellamy, could be taking place in the summer.- Fans? That's their source of informaiton now? Twitter? Come on DIspatch, you can bribe your way into better than that." Gaya comments out loud in her usual desdain before carrying her reading. "The Polls have elected Kang Bellamy's cousin, the Ice Princess of the Law, Kang Gaya, as most likely to be Yoon Mari's maid of honor- Aw. They used pictures of us in Paris from Fashion Week, I really like these." Gaya keeps on going. ".. the second one in the Bridesmaid's race would be Soyoung Lee, often spotted by Yoon Mari's side - Ew-" Her disgust couldn't be more obvious. "See, I lilke the fact the family doesn't own Dispatch so I get to enjoy their sad attempt at journalism but God I would buy the whole thing just so we can stop talking about the Lees, pathetic social climbers. Please tell me she's never going to be bridesmaid, I promised to behave on your big day but I can't prevent myself from stabbing a bitch." Her eyes travel back to Mari again as she watches the other finally in her dress, putting the magazine down. "Oh I love this one on you."

A Shoulder To Cry On REVIEW (9/10)

*idk dude Viki won't let me update my review but i need to post this somewhere 😭💖

First off, I have to say JAEHAN AND YECHAN I AM SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU! Your hard work and the time and care you put into these roles really shows, and I am so happy we all finally get to enjoy you both in this drama! ❤

Second, I'll get my critiques out of the way… I binged the webcomic right after the casting news came out, so I went into this show with a very heavy bias. And while the show stayed very true to the plot, I had to knock off a star in my rating because the script just felt too… simple? The comic was over-exaggerated and exciting and oh it was SO FUNNY!!! But for some reason the drama toned all of that down… Calling the show "boring" would be wrong, but it is much less witty and funny than the comic and that disappointed me. Oh, we could have nixed the forced love triangle/jealousy subplot with Soyoung, because THAT was boring...

ASIDE: Perhaps it was just me, but in the first couple episodes I couldn't stop hearing the cicada noises playing in the background of almost every scene and it started driving me crazy… At least, that was until I reread the comic and saw Chapters 16 and 17 both mention hearing the cicadas chirping. Intentional or not, I admire the subtle nod to the comic. And I really appreciate the writers, directors, and producers of the show for honouring the source material. I was shocked in my reread to see just how many scenes were almost exact recreations of moments in the comic!

Finally…. where do I even begin with my praise for the show!

The OST - Oh I was so happy when news came out that several members of OMEGA X would participate on all 3 songs!

"Come Together" (sung by Jaehan who also participated in writing lyrics) is so catchy and fun and captures that energy from the story so well, and I will never get tired of listening to it. (Also with these lyrics, it definitely sounds like a sweet and happy song for OMEGA X and FOR X~ "You're everything I could ever wish for, love / I'm all for you, I will always be with you").

"너를 다시 (You, Again)" (sung by Taedong, Xen, and Jaehan, lyrics written in part by Jaehan again) perfectly captures all the bittersweet moments in this story. Three beautiful voices and tragic lyrics ("Times are gone / But I'm still waiting for you after all this time")… This is a perfect song to cry your heart out to.

"쉬어가도 돼 (Comfort)" (sung by Hwichan and Jaehan, written/arranged/composed by the INCREDIBLY TALENTED producing team WEHOT (Hangyeom, Jaejun, Juntae, JAYBLE)) is another ballad, but instead of heartbreak and tears, this song is the one who will wrap you up in a hug and comfort you after you've finished crying to "You, Again". ("It's okay to fall / Once in our story / Come here and take my shoulder and take rest").

Overall, this OST perfectly encapsulates the emotions you feel watching or reading A Shoulder To Cry On and I couldn't be happier with it ❤❤❤❤❤

PRAISE TIME: I thought adding the Heimlich maneuver element as the precursor to Dayeol's "I lo- like you" confession was very clever. The storage locker scene was SO well done and having Taehyun whisper those lines to Dayeol... CHILLS! I STILL HAVE CHILLS THINKING ABOUT IT! ❤ All the scenes where Dayeol is taking care of Taehyun after the hospital, giving him the T-Shirt, moving his hair to check on the bandage, taking him to his favourite spot, "It's not your fault", and even telling a bleeding Taehyun to shut up.... The tenderness in all of it, and finally seeing Dayeol open up to Taehyun, oh it's so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

MORE THOUGHTS: I think the way they used Wonkyung's character as an antagonist was interesting, but they didn't ever really explore why he ended up being so angry about Taehyun and Dayeol getting closer. I thought that if anything we would see Wonkyung as the jealous one, harboring a secret crush on Taehyun, but that was never confirmed. In the scene where he threatens Dayeol, it almost felt like they were trying to imply he was mad because he was homophobic..?? I don't know, but they definitely should have used him more.

IN CONCLUSION, as a FOR X and as a lover of the ASTCO webcomic, I am so incredibly satisfied with how this drama turned out. After wondering for months and months and months about the leader and maknae of OMEGA X playing lovers, I can now see why all the drama's production staff praised them and their work ethics. They were AMAZING and I cannot stress enough how proud of them I am!!!!!! I could go on forever about this show, breaking down each and every scene and giving an essay's length response for all of them, but I'll save that for somewhere else. To anyone who read this far, thank you. If you are still deciding whether or not to watch the drama, I hope I convinced you to give it a chance ❤ Maybe you won't like it, or maybe you'll see what I see in Dayeol and Taehyun's story. Pain, anxiety, desperation, anger, fear, and above all... comfort.

Go Younjung, "I expected Moving to be popular, and there are many similarities between me and Huisoo"

Interview by Yang Soyoung from Star Today | 2023.08.28

We met actress Go Younjung (27) who has a charming, easygoing personality, and low-pitched voice.

Go Younjung played the role of Jang Huisoo, a physical education college entrance exam taker, with the power of infinite regeneration in <Moving>. She showed off her warm and courageous charm, thinking of her father Jang Juwon (Ryu Seungryong) more than anyone else, and cheering on her classmate Bongseok (Lee Jungha). In particular, she led episodes 1-7 with Lee Jungha and Kim Dohoon, and receiving a lot of love for bringing out the charm of a fresh and cute youth drama.

When asked if she expected it to be popular, Go Younjung said, "Writer Kang Ful's and director Park Inje's works are famous, right? And since almost all the well-known great senior are in it, I can't help but to expect it. That's why I felt a lot of pressure at first. I thought that I really had to do well (in acting)."

She continued, "Until right before the filming, I had a strong desire to do well and not look particularly bad among my seniors. Once I actually got there, we filmed like I was going to school with my friends. Of course, I prepared a lot, and there were scenes that I was excited and worried about, but we filmed like flowing water. When I closed my eyes and opened them, it felt like vacation was over. That's why I was half worried and half excited. Since we had fun filming, I expected that we would have natural chemistry, but I worried that we had too much fun because it felt like we filmed too comfortably."

Go Younjung, who showed perfect synchronization with the cheerful and charming Huisoo, said that her real-life personality also has many similar aspects.

Go Younjung said, "My family always said that I must have had a hard time when watching other works, but this time, I look like I filmed it comfortably. They said, 'Huisoo's personality and actions are just like you, though.' and I explained, 'I'm weak at impromptu reading when I audition. I have to quickly figure out the situation without knowing the context. In <Moving>, I read the script on site without seeing the original work and said my lines, and the personality was similar and it didn't feel unfamiliar. I read it more smoothly that I thought, so I thought it would work out. I went into the audition with the hope that it would work out.''

Then she said, "I heard from writer Kang Full later that the writer strongly involved in casting the character Huisoo. I was grateful. He said, it was because of my voice. He guess I seemed easygoing and think I was similar to the Huisoo the writer had in mind."

He also confessed, "Actually, when we were filming, I thought we were taking it easy and that we (she and Huisoo) were 99% in sync, but the more I look at it, the more I see the differences.I'm not the type to worry to much, and we're both easygoing and insensitive to pain or hurt, but when I look at the released work, I think Huisoo is much warmer and more affectionate."

Go Younjung immersed herself in her role by attending an actual physical education academy for college entrance exam takers before filming.

She said, "Even though we filmed all night, I was less tired. My stamina improved after the middle part. I usually like running and was good at it. However, I was a student preparing for physical education college and I had to have a proper posture and I also did sergeant jumps and sit-ups in addition to running. I thought about how I could look like a student preparing for physical education college and went to the academy for about 4-5 months."

Regarding the 17 vs 1 fight scene that became a hot topic, she explained, "I was both excited and both worried after seeing the original work and script, so I prepared a lot. In the original work, the setting is that the wound disappears when it is washed away by the rain, but because the spaces is wide, there were many things to consider before calling a water truck, so it was changed to rolling in the mud, and I think it came out well. It was a scene where the synergy of each other was important, but it was not fine mud, because the water are pooling the ground, so the particle became rough. I also got a raw wound because I filmed wearing a skirt and a short-sleeved shirt. Only the part where the wound regenerates was CG."

She also expressed her gratitude towards Ryu Seungryong, who appeared as her father. Go Younjung who said she had "preconceived notions" that it would be difficult to approach him at first, said that she was able to act comfortably as a father and daughter thanks to the affectionate Ryu Seungryong.

She said, "Because he was such an amazing senior, I was very nervous when I went to the first meeting. That was the first time my family got together (with Ryu Seungryong and Kwak Sunyoung). Ryu Seungryong gave a different bouquet of flowers for both me and Kwak Sunyoung. And he asked us to do our best. (At the time) I thought that I had worried for noting. He is very playful and made me feel comfortable. I wondered if there were times when I would get tired and sensitive on set. But I didn't experienced it with him. Everything (on set) was really good. When I had a lot of lines for the next scene, I couldn't ask him to match my lines because I was too afraid to disturbing him. But he always approached me first and suggested that we match our lines for the next scene."

Go Younjung entered the entertainment industry by chance while taking a photoshoot for a college magazine. Starting with the 2019 drama <He is Psychometric>, she also appeared in <Sweet Home>, <Alchemy of Souls>, and the movie <Hunt> and build her filmography step by step.

She said, "When I first debuted, I searched my name on portals a lot. The clother I wore, my hairstyle, and contact lenses were all related search terms. I think they were very interested in my appearance. At the time, everything was new and I was grateful. However, I gradually became more careful with my actions and words. I started not looking at it much because I was nervous about being exposed in real time. I think it would be better to read the script more during the time," and smiled, "But if there's one thing I wish for, it would be that the work I'm working on at the moment would be the related search terms."

"It's been about 4 years now, and although I didn't do well, I really did my best every moment. I have no regrets. I think I've lived well. I'm grateful that people love <Moving> and that it's fun. The second half will be even more fun. The action scale is bigger and the scene is bigger. Huisoo has also grown. Please look forward to it."

SOYOUNG PLEASE LOVE ME 😭�� I DON'T WANT THE GUYS I WANT YOUUU ‼️🤍

[30tdl]

Hello! I just noticed that the 2nd season of tdl is out, and I just wanna ask if you have plaued it yet? And if so, what are your thoughts?

Hi! So I’m still on day 13, but so far I have noticed a few differences that I wasn’t expecting

More game-set circumstances!! For example without spoiling anything, there are some events that depend on the weather and I think the game randomly chooses the weather you get. That plays into who you’re most likely to run into for a date, of course including the options that you choose

Gifts are slightly different too—this time, if you get more than one gift you have to choose one, without knowing who got it for you. It’s same vice versa, so your gift might not get chosen if you pick the wrong thing 😬

I definitely had to spend more coins on hints and stuff this season

Older characters! Last season a lot of the participants where still in college and Euntae was the oldest at 27. Now the median is 26, including our girlie Juwon

More games!! Some games being a lot harder! Let’s just say there are more layers to some of them, and the dialogue options you choose throughout matters…

Juwon is very different from Yeonwoo! She’s more the “chill” type that kind of comes off as cold first impression? At least according to the participants lmfao but she reminds me of Soyoung

More tension with some characters? And I wouldn’t say drama but some game events really left me like 😮

This might be me, but I personally feel like some of the male characters are harder to understand. I’m definitely struggling a lot more to win some hearts than last season!

The female participants are pretty cool, I love their dynamic a lot! There’s definitely more of a friendship/interaction between them which I like. Honestly, they’re like an ideal friend group I’d want irl lmao

Overall, I still have a long way to go but it’s worth playing! It’s slightly more mature in a way…? I’m not sure how to explain it but the vibe definitely has less of that pastel pink and yellow fluffiness. It reflects on the ages of the characters, so it has its own vibe to it!

[shoyoackerman]

I’m playing this game again and gonna try for Jooyul or at least Chunsung BUT this man ain’t slick 💀 “hi soyoung” PLEASE.

I get it bc like it’s Soyoung but still 😭

[obstinaterixatrix]

I guess Just Some Guy energy is also EXTREMELY subjective lol

If you're still doing SClass prompts, I'd love if you continued the one where Yoojin is an overnight convenient store clerk beloved by high-ranking Hunters for his no-fear attitude.

[continuation of this post]

Yoojin really has no idea how Soyoung manages to have this much energy at four in the morning.

“Hey hey, Mr. Yoojin-ssi, what snacks do you recommend?” she chirps, peering intensely at the available selection in the snack aisle.

“Don’t you usually have something in mind already when you come here?” he replies. He rubs his eyes tiredly and winces at the burn in them. He hadn't managed to get much sleep the previous night, and now he’s paying for it.

Soyoung shrugs and pokes at a bag of chips. “Yeah, but I only ever crave food that I’ve had before. I want to try something new!”

“That’s right, Kang Soyoung-nim is from Britain, isn’t she?” Yoojin props his chin up on his hand and hums consideringly. “Are you looking for something more salty or sweet right now?”

“Anything that Mr. Yoojin-ssi would recommend!”

Yoojin sighs. That narrows things down. “Choco pie is popular,” he says, pointing at a red box of the chocolate-covered cakes.

“I’ve had those already,” Soyoung pouts. “I do like them, though.”

“What about custard cakes?”

“Oh, I haven’t tried those yet!” Soyoung grabs a box of the snacks and clutches it to her chest. “Anything else?”

Yoojin stares at her. “Isn’t that enough?” He already knows Soyoung is planning on scarfing down the whole box as soon as she steps out of the convenience store. She might not even wait until she’s out the doors.

“Mr. Yoojin-ssi,” Soyoung chides, “I’m a growing girl! I can never have enough snacks.” Yoojin distinctly remembers Yoohyun using a similar excuse in the past.

“If you want something saltier, you can try honey butter chips,” he says, pointing further down the aisle. Soyoung is actually lucky that she’s in so early for once—the chips sell out pretty quickly.

Soyoung shuffles over to where Yoojin had pointed, but she stares down at the bag dubiously. “I do like honey,” she says hesitantly, like she’s trying to convince herself. “And I like butter…” Maybe they don’t have honey butter flavored chips in Britain.

Yoojin sighs again and gestures for Soyoung to bring the bag of chips to him. “Here,” he says, scanning the bag and swiping his own card. “If you don’t like it, you can just give the rest back to me, okay?”

He flinches when he sees the glistening tears in her eyes. “Mr. Yoojin-ssi is so generous,” she sniffs, dabbing at her eyes delicately. It’s so dramatic that Yoojin has to resist the urge to laugh at the display. “Are you sure? I can just pay for it myself, really.”

“Just eat your chips,” he says, pushing the bag back across the counter at her and trading it for the box of custard cakes that she’s still holding on to. He scans it while she opens the bag and watches with amusement as she attempts to juggle a chip in one hand and get her card out with the other.

Once she finally manages to pay for her snacks, she pops the chip in her mouth and chews cautiously. “Huh,” she says, making a face. “It’s sweet.”

“It’s honey butter flavored,” Yoojin points out.

“Yeah, but I still wasn’t expecting this. I’ve only ever had salty chips before.” She pauses thoughtfully before reaching for another chip. “I guess it’s not that bad.”

Yoojin snorts but pushes the rest of the bag towards her. “Enjoy your catch for today, Kang Soyoung-nim.”

Soyoung frowns at him petulantly even while gathering her spoils for that morning. “C’mon, Mr. Yoojin-ssi, you don’t have to be so formal with me, y’know!”

“You call me ‘Mr. Yoojin-ssi’,” he points out reasonably, though he stumbles over the foreign form of address with his fading memories of his meager English education.

“So I’ll call you oppa, and then you can call me Soyoung-ah!” Yoojin politely refrains from pointing out that snatches of conversation at too-early hours of the morning aren’t really a foundation for building a close relationship. “C’mon, oppa,” she says pleadingly, leaning closer with her overly dramatic puppy eyes. “Even the guild master only calls me Miss Soyoung and he’s probably the person that I’m closest with outside of Evelyn and I just speak English with Evelyn.”

Yoojin’s not quite sure what to make of that word jumble, but he still feels a pang of echoed loneliness at the idea that this bright young girl’s closest friends are two of her guild members and a tired man at a convenience store.

“Fine… Soyoung-ah,” he mutters, and can’t help his smile when Soyoung pumps her fist with an unsubtle ‘yes!’

“Thanks, oppa! I’ll see you next time!” And then she bounds out of the store.

Yoojin keeps his composure for the next ten seconds, just long enough to make sure that no other customers are going to come in right away, before succumbing to exhaustion and laying his head down on his folded arms.

God, kids are so tiring.
