Don’t mind me. I’m just thinking about how despite all of the circumstances of One Tree Hill, both in front of and behind the camera, Nathan Scott turned out to be the best man, friend, father, and husband.
He really defied all of the odds that were stacked against him. It’s stunning to watch his evolution over the course of the show.
I’m a firm believer that Nathan and Brooke have the fullest arcs of all the characters. That’s *another* reason why it’s such a shame we didn’t get to see more of their friendship.
Yes, Nathan messed up a lot and he faced a hell of a lot of hardships. But it’s the way he came out of those things. He could have easily fallen back on the laurels his father instilled in him, but at every turn, you could see Nathan pushing back against what he knew.
He pushed back at what he knew for a shot at what he knows to be better.
Listening to Drama Queens makes me realize how much of that is James Lafferty.
It makes me realize that these actors, especially the women, didn’t have a lot of (or any) say in what their characters said, but they did have the control of what they did.
James made Nathan Scott who he is, and that is one of the greatest romantic leads of a teen drama in the last decade, if I do say so myself.
It’s just so pretty. It was iconic. It was so beautiful the way the water was glowing and everything. The fact that Nathan looks at her and says that line. “Don’t say I never gave you anything.” I mean that is the line that fans quote to me…That’s the one that I get all the time…It meant so much to people. And I also clocked…Haley’s still wearing the bracelet at the end of the night. She didn’t take it off. -Bethany, Hilarie, and Sophia
It was a great way for him to redeem himself after that you know awful moment at the table…That was a really vulnerable move for him…It was like a genuine what else could I possibly do? How can I let this girl know how much I like her? And he just went for it….We all cheered…I have such a crush on Nathan and Haley. -Bethany Joy Lenz
Last year, we stood on a beach and I told you how much I loved you. And that I’d always, always protect you. And, that day nobody believed that this would work. But, I don’t think anybody understood the love that I had for you, because, if they did they would have never doubted us. So I wanted to marry you all over again in front of most of our world. Because today, when I look into your eyes my love for you only grows. It’s even stronger now and that love will never waver. This I vow to you today and always, forever.
Pretty sure this is the reason why Seokhyeong told his mom that he’ll be going to the US.
Seokhyeong knows his mom can be quite toxic when it comes to his partners. He already saw what his mom is capable of doing when he got married. And he definitely doesn’t want MinHa to experience that. She’s too precious. uwu
He also knows that his mom doesn’t want him to go. So by pretending to go to the US and then eventually “canceling” his US plans because of his relationship with MinHa, he’s actually making MinHa look good in his mom’s eyes. There’s totally nothing wrong with MinHa. She’s amazing and she just fits Seokhyeong’s personality quite perfectly, but there’s something wrong with Seokhyeong’s mom and that’s why he needs to do this.
I wonder if this will be explained in the finale or if this will all be cleared up next season. Yep. I’m claiming Season 3. It’s just impossible not to have another season. lol
I'm pretty sure Seokhyeong is just setting up the US talk so that his mother will think he's leaving. Then later, he will tell her he decided to stay because of Minha...and so his mom can't hate or complain about Minha thereafter. She'll just want her son by her side.
Seokhyeong sleuthing in the name of love just like Rosa 😅
We are seeing each other now, right? But you’re not asking me to be your girlfriend and won’t tell me how you feel. I’m just wondering if I got the wrong idea. What will you do if I’m not a good person? What if I’m a freak? You’re quite reckless, I must say. If that’s the case… It is what it is. I’ll just blame my fate. But Professor. You know, I’m a good person. I’m actually a better person than you think I am, so you don’t need to worry about me. But we are seeing each other, right? You do have feelings for me, right?
