What If Gaus Electronics was a daydream Jang Hanseo made up to deal with the abuse he was going through? Hear me out:
Okay to start off: I don’t actually think the show was made with the intention of well, being an escapism Jang Hanseo made to deal with everything so I won’t call it a theory or anything.
But head canon that maybe, maybe Hanseo made up a world where he was the main character just, living a normal office job. Living a boring, normal ordinary life far away from his current position as puppet CEO.
The structure of Gaus Electronics is similar to a cartoon. When Sangsik gets hurt (e.g. when he lost a tooth in the first episode) he magically regains it later on. It’s all silly and lighthearted and nothing truly devastating happens in the show, the only injuries that stay longer then a few scenes are needed to progress the plot (e.g Narae’s arms being in casts so Sangsik and Aziz have to look after her.)
Sangsik makes a potentially catastrophic mistake in the first episode for the company he works at, but this mistakes ends up helping the company. It means Marketing Team 3 gain a lot more respect than they had before.
He makes a mistake and it doesn’t hurt him or lead to awful consequences, which we know for a fact isn’t the case for Hanseo. Even the smallest mistake leads Hanseok to hurt Hanseo or could be fatal for the company. He has to deal with the weight of always having to please his brother (whose impulsive, erratic and mood can switch drastically at the drop of a pen) while also making sure he doesn’t mess up anything as the fake CEO of babel.
Thats a lot of pressure, constantly on his shoulders.
But in this universe he doesn’t have either of those things.
Why not make a world where he could imagine what it’s like to just make mistakes like every other human being and not get hurt for it? To be allowed to grow from them and learn rather than live in fear of what would happen to him for doing so?
Moreover, it wasn’t even Sangsik who uploaded the video in the first place publicly!! It was Mr. Cho the invisible dude (I think that’s his name) which is a great metaphor of how Hanseo has to take the fall for all of Hanseok’s mistakes publicly.
Things that weren’t even his fault he had to apologise for! To the public! He had to endure the hate and backlash for all of it!
Maybe Hanseo in his head makes up this entire universe. He’s the main character, he works for some random office in this world in the lowest Marketing Team. He was never allowed to suggest ideas to Hanseok, but now its his job! It’s his job to come up with ways to market the company he works at!
Hanseo has lived in riches his whole life and it’s all he knows (e.g. how he reacted to the Jipuragi office) so maybe what Matan thought living a normal life was like is what Hanseo thought it was like.
Maybe Hanseo projected onto Matan, and that’s why Sangsik wanted to become Matan’s older brother so badly.
He wanted to be the older brother to him he never got.
And maybe if he also plays the older brother, he could make sure he wouldn’t be hurt again.
Anyone who “hates” Sangsik in the show comes to love him (Narae) or secretly do love him even if they pretend they don’t (Mr. Baek). He has people who care for him and love him even if he’s “stupid” and messes up. Something Hanseo desperately wanted.
He wanted a family. And that’s exactly what Marketing Team 3 could be for him. Even if they were fake. Even if they were made up.
He could at least imagine what it felt like to be happy if he wasn’t allowed to be so.

okay one big post to get the finale out of my system! it's been lovely reading all of your analyses and reactions, and looking at all your amazing gifs and edits :')
fair warning: this is going to be so stinking long omfg
the things i enjoyed:
vincenzo remaining an anti-hero through and through, especially the fact that he didn't hold back at all when it came to myunghee and hanseok's death. he gave them a taste of their own medicine and then some forreal, their deaths were brutal but oddly satisfying, and i'm saying this as someone who usually hates violence/gore. throughout the show, they've always hinted at what he was Truly Capable Of and boy did we get to see it
vincenzo fumbling in hanseok's house and not being his usual self �� a lot of people thought it was ooc, which i understand! i felt like that was the Point, to show that for once, he's not the invincible mafia consigliere that everyone thinks he is. what he did to the man who killed his mother and the army of security guards was a reaction, but this is the first time he's flustered, caught at a disadvantage, and faced with the very real possibility that he might lose somebody incredibly important to him. idk it made him more human to me
vincenzo literally not hesitating for even 0.1 seconds to fold his entire body around hers when he thought hanseok was going to shoot again – yeah that whole bit made my heart clench i feel like a crazy person i won't get over it
the chayenzo hospital scene... my god it was so tender my heart broke. the laugh they both shared, out of sheer relief that she's okay. the little joke about paying for the private room. the way not much was being said, but everything was being said at once. the way they looked at each other, as if it wouldnt ever be enough :( the quiet acceptance that this is their last night together, and that he's going to have to kill a bunch of people after this, but for now they have this. for however brief.
chayoung being chayoung – her big ass personality at the courtroom at the end after winning ms oh's case. her hopping around in those heels, looking elegant and sleek, mocking the hell out of rich conglomorates. she's in her element again and it made me so, so happy to see. i absolutely adore her, she's everything really. after all that loss and the whole ordeal, i'm glad she's able to return to what she does best: putting capitalists back in their place
mr lee being Very Much Not Dead – idk how i wouldve been able to handle it after witnessing hanseo's death like im glad he got the chance to be a dad
the kiss – my god....
the things i didn't like:
hanseo's death – lmao is it even a surprise... say what you will about his death being foreshadowed, but i really just hated hated it. i hate that hanseok won this one. i hate that hanseo worked so hard to redeem himself, only to lose it all. i hate that he was given a taste of what a real family was like, and then having it taken away so cruelly. even though i said above that i didn't mind that vincenzo was ooc at the mansion, i was still screaming at the screen because there were plenty of opportunities for the situation to be reversed. i don't necessarily blame vincenzo for hanseo's death, but i do wish that they had a funeral scene for him. i wish they acknowledged his sacrifice, and how pivotal he was in turning the tables. if not for hanseo, vincenzo really couldn't have pulled any of this off, from the interpol tipoff to the tracking device in the watch. idc idc hanseo is in malta rn, enjoying the sun and the beach, going to therapy, and teaching the local kids how to play hockey even though there's no ice :(
chayoung being bedridden the whole finale – like... NAH lmao this aint it chief... if things went my way, she wouldve gotten out of the hospital depite her injury and dealt with myunghee before handing her off to vincenzo. i loved their animosity for each other, and i wanted chayoung to be the one at myunghee's apartment waiting for her, rubbing it into her face. i wanted chayoung to verbally finish myunghee with that sharp ass tongue of hers and really dump a load of salt on her wounds. then vincenzo could do whatever the hell he wanted. you could argue that the show is called Vincenzo but i really dont care lmao it started with chayoung avenging her dad and she should've been able to strike the final blow. also what was her big second party? are we really just going to ignore her capacity for evil? after all that moral work done, after that time she spent coming to terms with using evil to combat evil, we're just going to... keep her bedridden? park jaebum u will pay for this
vincenzo losing his family – besides hanseo's death, i think this was what i hated the most from the ending. the start of the show showed us vincenzo's departure from the mafia with the very clear intention of Not Returning. the capo died, his loyalties lie with no one, paolo can suck it. throughout the show, we see him repeat over and over that he wants to get the gold and skip off to malta to enjoy a peaceful life there, while reflecting/repenting for the things he's done. vincenzo was gearing up for a lifetime of solitude. the whole point of the show was for him to find a real family and have a real chance at happiness. park jaebum really said FUCK THAT! we're gonna have him ditch the family that he built from scratch with the love of his life and then make him return to the family that tried to kill him AND make him the capo... pjb said we're gonna separate vincenzo from the family that accepts his past and sees it as a strength and not a weakness. the family that was formed out of solidarity, the family that he fought for and fought alongside with blood, sweat and tears. not to mention the goddaughter of his? sorry i would laugh if it didn't actually rile me up so bad
vincenzo not being able to come back to korea – i've said this in another post of mine, but given that he is The Vincenzo Cassano with all those resources at his disposal (guillotine file, mr ahn/mr cho/the chief etc.), the fact that he isnt even able to stay in korea for 30 fuckin minutes after finishing hanseok was ridiculous. the whole police chase was dumb as hell considering that the show has managed to stop politicians and mf presidential candidates from going after him like ? huh LMAO park jaebum had an on-demand pigeon army in this show and Yet he can't stop like 10 suddenly-righteous policemen. another big ass HUH
chayenzo (here we go...):
NOPE! i've reflected on the ending and decided that i'm going to be petty and salty for a while more before coming to terms with it
i can rationalise and try to be positive and tell myself that their love is enduring can transcend space and time and that in due time, they will find their way back to each other, and i have no doubt that they will because they're one soul in two bodies. it's quite literally canon that they're soulmates.
but let me wallow for a second
here we have two people who have done questionable and terrible things in their past coming together, growing together, grieving together, fighting together... you get the gist of it. you have two people who have found a home in each other. two people who, for all intents and purposes, were about to live in a whole lot of bitterness and solitude if not for each other and the life they built together (chayoung didn't have friends like that, and her family is gone too). to separate them like that at the very end is cruel. i know chayoung and vincenzo are mature and incredible and will be able to function without the other next to them. i know that they will still excel as lawyers and will defeat evil with their underhand methods the way they do so well but my god are they going to feel the absence and miss each other
my point is that they shouldn't have to. from what i could tell, they can't even communicate on a regular basis bc he'll be tracked and whatnot, hence the postcards. a postcard every month is a poor substitute for all those nights they stayed up drinking makgeolli and celebrating their wins. its a shitty replacement for coffee dates and fist bumps and all the moments in between. after everything they've been through, after literally fighting to death for their family, they don't deserve this. they don't deserve to meet up once a year for a couple of hours. they don't deserve pockets of time in malta or korea, their life in a perpetual countdown to when they're going to see each other next
they both deserve love and some semblance of peace (finally finally). they both deserve to have someone to come home to after a hard day of work, because doing what they do cannot be easy. they both deserve a family, deserve to have someone next to them that accepts their past and would embrace their future. they both deserve a hand to hold and a shoulder to lean on. i know they will still be It for each other despite the distance, i just wish the distance didn't even exist in the first place bc its stupid and cruel and their love shouldnt have to be proven or tested with time and space. let them stay together. let them grow together. let them be.
side note: song joongki and jeon yeobeen need another project together idc take it up with god
tl;dr: park jaebum u will be paying for my therapy bills
#vincenzo#tvn vincenzo#this was cathartic#if u made it to the end here's ur kiss#this is more for archival purposes than anything#also this is what happens when my best friends arent caught up yet and i have no outlet

dating hanseo post
bc let’s be honest,, we’ve all been there.. am i making my whole tumblr dedicated to him? yes. but it seemed like so many people liked my previous headcanons that i had to give the people what they deserve! (and also to write all my thoughts out so my head doesn’t explode!)
- first of all, most definitely this man’s love language is acts of service!! this is why, when a somewhat ditzy, very vocal and avid member of your college philosophy class starts bringing you coffee - whether morning or afternoon classes - it’s not hard to sense.. a Vibe. however, soon, he starts stealing assignments from you, taking up your parts in group projects and it’s not until far later - after confronting the poor boy - that you realise it had nothing to do with him wanting to steal your top class scores and place.. but instead, to take away some of your top class student burdens. (his words.) so, after having a top student duel with him for a few months, you ask him out (thoroughly encouraged by your annoyed classmates who can’t stand the tense air of competition you brought to your lighthearted philosophy class, despite hanseo never reciprocating that energy, only just happy to participate to his full extent).
- asking him out was out of pure spite, to be honest. you’ve waited months, and could stand the nagging of your classmates no longer, and, well, you’ve grown to like this dorky classmate. you’ve grown to admire how fast he could go from being completely clownish in big groups, to understanding ridiculously extensive philosophical concepts. the jealousy slowly transformed into adoration, and so, you let go of your pride and asked him to help you with an assignment and go for a coffee. it was obvious he had to contain his excitement, but he still squeaked out a yes within milliseconds, which confirmed the idea that’s been hammered into your head by your stupid classmates (that this weird confrontation has to come to a ceasefire, because it’s obvious you both like each other, and come on it’s pathetic!) he arrives to the date in his silly knitted jumpers and of course, the blue converse, and his round gold-rimmed glasses, a little too giddy for your liking. (or so you pretend.) it’s only when you both get your coffees and get to working when you just get too immersed in him and finally blurt out that you like him.. to which he picks up his head from your notes, looks at you like a lost puppy for well over a minute, and then smiles shyly while saying that, well, he likes you too.
- so, that’s all over with, (finally, say your classmates) and you can finally begin to actually get to know this man who, although says a lot, never quite says what you want to know. he doesn’t take long to open up to you, though. he says little, but you start to realise a lot about him - which you never say to him, just note in your head. you don’t think he’d wanna know that sometimes, he flinches when people make sudden movements, or his smile drops too soon after someone says a joke, or that he makes himself sound too unsure of himself when actually, most of what he says is completely right and makes a lot of sense. so, you connect the dots in your head and begin to accommodate him more and more, to help him get rid of those habits. and over time, you start to warm up to his unique love language (by accepting the four coffees per day just to see his smile, while slowly growing a caffeine addiction..), while realising that hanseo feels loved particularly by words of affirmation and touch. so you make it a habit (though you don’t even really need to try, it all comes naturally) to compliment him.. like a lot. like always saying how much you needed it when he gives you the coffees, and stroking his hair a little, or adjusting his glasses, or his clothes; and always telling him just how good of a job he did with an assignment or group project (which isn’t even particularly because of the whole love language, but also because 100% of the time it’s just true).
- he also has habits that you would never in your life want him to get rid of. he’s just full of love. and at first he’s a little apprehensive in giving it, but it doesn’t take long for him to completely relax into you and feel at ease in your presence. like when he first comes over to your place; he makes sure to look at every single thing, as if he’s in some sort of museum. and then, after sitting on the couch for less than a minute, he asks if your dishes need doing or if he can fold the laundry. if you hadn’t figured him out already, you would’ve thought he was a complete freak.. but it’s just his way of showing love. talking about the future is also his habit. more dorky than intimidating - he doesn’t plan in an overly committed way, but with a tone that immediately tells you that he’s just that open to you. every time you pass a dog he looks at you like a kid in a candy shop. and he keeps buying you kitchenware.. and cleaning products.. you guess it’s kind of like his way of leaving a toothbrush at your place. he wants to give you things that he knows you’ll use domestically, so that you’ll associate it with him. what a freak, you think sometimes, lovingly.
- he calls you one night, completely under the weather. scares you a little, but he just asks if it’s okay to stay on call for a while. you say of course, because, of course, you’ve grown to completely adore this boy in such a short amount of time, there’s no way you would say no to that. you’ve never heard him be that quiet. it’s like he’s not even on the other end of the line, which is so unlike him purely because his presence is always known and felt. you don’t want to pry, but you ask what’s wrong. he takes a while, but he ends up telling you, sheepishly, that he sometimes has nightmares that he can’t shake off. he’s never really told anyone and he doesn’t want to give a bad impression- which you completely interrupt him to tell him there’s no way it would give a bad impression. he apologises for waking you, which again, you interrupt by telling him you’re cramming for an exam anyway. he grows quiet again and you start to feel completely helpless. it’s a side of him you’ve barely ever seen before and you just want to help so bad. after what feels like a terribly long time of complete silence, you quietly say it’s getting late and you should go. to which he replies, in a low voice, that you’re right. you both hang up and you don’t wait even a second to get a few necessities together and get the last bus to his apartment, with two thermoses of instant coffee. you nervously stand in front of his door and knock. it takes hanseo about five minutes to finally open the door, and you almost begin to feel guilty, because he looks as if he’d just woken up from the deepest slumber. but your presence immediately awakens him, and his eyes grow as wide as they can possibly get.. you reach out to him with the thermos which he takes gratefully and immediately invites you in with the few disarrayed words he can get out. he’s in the middle of telling you it’s too late, you didn’t need to come, the place is dirty, when you launch yourself on him, clasping his waist so tight you fear he might grow short of breath. but he doesn’t say anything else and instead just melts into you. he hesitantly puts a hand onto your head and begins to pat your hair slowly, to say “you really shouldn’t have done all this.” to which you look at him and say, “i love you, so i had to.” and you realise that it wasn’t only hanseo’s work ethic that rubbed off on you, but also his affectionate acts of service, which you couldn’t help but adopt in your own ways.
so this isn’t exactly how i wanted to write it but the words flowed so here we are.. this is more of an au thing i guess idk??? i might just write a fanfic because oneshots really arent my thing and evidently i can’t write anything without making it a narrative story thing!! i don’t like this but i wrote too much to not post and hopefully it might actually get me into writing for real again .. we’ll see.. enjoy :)
