HONG HAEIN: But… let's say a lot of time passed, and you died. Then I'll become an angel and pick you up. If I show up, it'll be less scary for you.

BAEK HYUNWOO: If you die before I do, I'm going to live one more day and then follow you. How will I ever live without you?

We forgave those we used to resent. We can sometimes stop and appreciate the scenery. Then time will gradually being to flow more quickly. Time will slip away, and we won't be able to do anything about it. That's how we'll spend every day of our lives. We'll enjoy all the happiness that life grants us. One day… when only one of us is left… The other one can come meet them. Then it won't be scary at all. Because we'll be together.

my biggest takeaway from this romcom makjang in disguise is the invincibility of baek hyunwoo

#getting run over and then leaving the hospital with internal injuries #searching for haein in the snow #and then getting shot #and even before that he was framed for murder and had to serve a prison sentence??? #for a month???? #no choice but to stan #queen of tears #kdrama #me talking

LOOK AT THIS WTF twitter com/crrkerii/status/1784227683951628374

hahahahaah you’re fucking kidding me this can’t be real

so the writer PJE copyrighted QOT back in 2010.

no WONDER the plot is so outdated like she must’ve made changes to it over the years but she kept the structure and that’s why we are getting cars of doom and parental secrets and memory loss and every makjang trope possible this is so unserious!!!!!!!!!

Don’t do this to me. Don’t make me want to live.

Don’t pray about dying. I’m terrified it’ll come true.

Hi, Hae-in. I'm Baek Hyun-woo. I'm your husband. You must be confused and scared. Me too. You don't remember anything and a stranger is claiming to be your husband. You must be so confused. But… this is good news. You… You were very sick, but you're better now. You must be curious about what kind of person you used to be. It must be upsetting that you can't remember. But don't worry. Because I… I remember everything. I'll tell you everything… that I know. I shouldn't cry. This will be the first time you see my face. And let me warn you. Even if I'm not your ideal type, I'm sorry, but I can't break up with you. Because we agreed not to part ways just because of a change of mind. Even if you don't like me… No matter what happens… Even if… you forget the promise we made, I promised to be… by your side. Let's welcome the first snow, stick by each other, and spend our everyday lives together. Let's fill up that empty candy jar of yours. We can do it. Because it was fate that brought us together. I love… I love you, Hae-in. I've always loved you… and will continue to do so.

#50 first dates vibes…. #queen of tears #kdrama

i've seen the odd post in defence of watcher and i get that you wanna support your fav indie creators, but. listen. this is a stupid, potentially financially disastrous move by them.

'but they want to be free to make their own content and not be beholden to youtube!'

yes, that's totally fair. what's Not fair is locking future seasons of previously free series behind a paywall, and Any future content at all behind said paywall, all without warning, or even asking the community what they think would work. there are many different ways to go about making exclusive content, and having more control over what you make, and this was probably the worst way to go about it.

'but they're a small group that doesn't make that much money!'

they have a patreon that gets about 100k per month. that is on top of ad revenue, merch sales, ticket sales for live audiences, and sponsorship deals. they're also asking for a subscription that's MORE than what a dropout (another subscription based group that does various shows) subscription costs, while having LESS content and at a lower frequency.

and, ultimately, this was something they hyped up, presented in a weirdly guilt trippy but trying to be inspiring tone, all without warning and in one fell swoop. while also being unclear in their over produced announcement video about whether or not old, existing episodes will still stay up for free, requiring them to clarify after the fact.

it was so, so poorly thought out. there are many other ways they could have handled this- using their patreon or even youtube membership to trial paid for exclusive content for example, or even just. putting up a poll to ask if people would like that kind of thing, and for how much.

they didn't. they just did it and expected everyone to cheer for them. utterly bizarre, deeply disappointing, morbidly hilarious.

The worst thing about the Watcher situation is that. I understand. I get it. They need more money to do bigger and crazy things and don’t want to conform to being “ad friendly”.

But putting ALL future content behind paywalls is not the fucking way to do it. How about bonus content? Extra episodes? BTS features? Hell, even giving access to episodes early could be an amazing incentive (maybe not worth $5.99 a month but STILL). But putting ALL content behind that? Bad. Bullshit.

EDIT: I have been helpfully (/genuine) reminded they will be putting the first episode of each season onto YouTube, which is nice, but I still think that like… it’s still a lot of stuff to be paywalled, imo.

Again, I fully understand the need to construct a new streaming service in order to try and mitigate YT or Advertiser interference with their content. But. Yeah.

#!!!!! #pardon the spam but i'm in my sad girl hours #watcher

[sadiejulius]

We all understand wanting to leave YouTube. The issue here is, instead of just getting their own website and shifting the content, they are going full throttle on making their fans pay for every single aspect- including content they’d already been given for free, over multiple years.

Plenty of content creators have had their own content sites over the years, with free content and then content specifically for their paid tiers. Not unlike Patreon but everything in the same place. So that fans could enjoy their content, especially videos they’re already viewed and enjoyed for free, but they are getting their freedom and their subscriptions.

It’s a strictly business decision and that’s fine. I just hope they’re prepared for how many regular viewers they’re going to lose because people can’t afford this, or straight up just aren’t willing to pay for something they used to get to free.
