#and before yall say the writer couldnt have done any better

[goyurim]

all the hate towards soo hyun is unwarranted. and i'm not saying you're supposed to like her or anything, you can choose to like/dislike any character you want. i'm saying all the hate is being projected to the wrong place. based on all the reasoning for the hate i've seen so far (boring, underdeveloped character, arc revolves around ga on etc.) the hatred should be directed towards the writer.

the writer has done an excellent job with the gender role-reversals i have to admit, with ga on playing the role that’s usually written about women, thawing down the ice in yo han’s heart by acknowledging his anger and pain, teaching him to love, cooking for him etc., and sun ah being practically the female version of yo han, same intellect same ideals same charm; they’re two sides of the same coin. but when you really think about it, sun ah’s character essentially revolves around yo han too, just like soo hyun’s around ga on. soo hyun’s the female version of ga on, law-abiding, morally upright and all. she’s also stubborn with her beliefs. both women are in love with their counterparts. just like sun ah mirrors yo han’s complexity, soo hyun mirrors ga on’s simplicity. 

but it’s not just them, chief justice’s character is also pretty flat, he has pretty much no other role except for being a parental figure for ga on. he’s only relevant when ga on’s in trouble. k’s character does nothing but tag along yo han, he becomes irrelevant as soon as cha kyung hee’s plot ends, in fact he says it himself that he feels futile and the writer makes sure that’s true by disposing of him right after (at least that’s what we know of so far). but there’s so much love for k on here? why is that exactly? we love him so much that we even looked up his name even though it’s not important enough to ever be mentioned on the show?

cha kyung hee’s death probably bothered me the most. also because i think death for shock value is lazy writing in general but that discussion is for another day. i understand that her death was supposed to be poetic justice and all with her never wanting to resort to weakness and running away yet that’s exactly how she ends up but really? after all her character went through? she becomes a throwaway plot piece? yo han’s failed chess move? to break apart yo han and ga on’s rapport? (disclaimer: i’m not saying suicide makes you weak. but that's exactly how the writer played it out)

in fact all the supposedly ‘strong’ women in this drama are reduced to their stereotypes in one way or another. we have the first lady, who i really thought played a bigger role in all of this (speaking of which, i love this theory and i hope the writer delivers and i’m terribly wrong about what i’m about to say) but the ‘big plan’ heo joong se has against cha kyung hee’s threats is the fact that he knows her son does drugs. but he doesn’t reveal this himself, he specifically calls the first lady to play mother (to a son, correct me if i’m wrong, but we haven’t seen or even heard of throughout the drama so far) and patronise cha kyung hee, another mother. (disclaimer again: being a mother is a very valuable role. that doesn’t negate the fact that it’s an overplayed stereotype, reducing a woman’s value in a life if she doesn’t have children/doesn’t raise her children right)

there's is so much internal misogyny in this writing and tbh i don't entirely blame the writer because i can see he tried. he did make an effort to make most of his characters interesting. but we as an audience shouldn’t be playing into this misogyny so easily, it doesn’t matter if it’s so common that we’ve become accustomed to it. you can’t blame a fictional character for living by the rules of their unjust and unchangeable world.

all i’m saying is that if we can learn to appreciate and love and cry over characters like k, we can do the same for soo hyun.

#the devil judge #yoon soo hyun #kim ga on #kang yo han #jung sun ah #cha kyung hee #moon talks #and before yall say the writer couldnt have done any better #the story's too complex #go watch beyond evil to know how to actually write female characters #and make them relevant and important even in death #with two well developed male leads i might add #maybe beyond evil just raised my expectations #and ruined all other shows for me forever #anyway i'm giving soo hyun a backstory myself #since the writer couldnt do it #she loves helping out people in general #always wanted to be a police officer #physically fighting bullies as a teen #to protect kids who couldnt protect themselves #chopped off her hair when a boy told her only long hair looks good on women #also bc it got in the way when she punched him right after he said that #feeding stray dogs in her neighbourhood #picking up a stray dog to care for when his parents died #(ga on) #taking him under his wing #ga on giving her more reason to join the police force #yeah i love soo hyun #haters stay pressed bye

*SPOILERS* for TGD 3x12 “Mutations” aka this is me typing from the dead because this episode gave me more then one heart attack 😭🙏🏼

Also I’m sorry this post got so long I’m just so excited/happy Jesus Christ like wow just wow

So I wasn’t initially going to watch this live because I have work at 5 in the morning 🙃 and because I wouldn’t be able to pause it while my hands try to keep up with my thoughts but it’s been so long since I’ve been able to do it and I missed it despite my hatred of commercials lol so wish me luck!

Also I’m very very excited for the melendaire content we’re getting tonight since they’re working together again and I’m freakin hoping at this prom they throw Melendez either does a double take at how nice Claire looks OOOOR we get him asking her dance 😭 just SOMETHING PLZZZ

I haven’t even started the ep yet and already can’t wait to see some of the moments in hd tomorrow once it comes on Hulu 😂

I can’t believe shaun is really gonna move out like I get where Carly is coming from but shaun is allowed to have female friends and after some theories from the last ep I’m worried shaun only told Carly he loved her so she wouldn’t leave him like “everyone else”

Aww adorable these two are so cute and Claire thinks they’re adorable as well and imma sue abc if one half of that couple dies or even worse BOTH

Melendaire group chat finally popping again 😭 although I don’t text back until break I love y’all tho 💕💕

So secret checkups with glassy and Morgan 👀 when are ppl gonna find out about her arthritis for the drama~~

Oh my god since when does Melendez go in there for MRIs it’s so just to see Claire oh my god Melendez being in love with Claire and her usual compassion

Omg cuties joking about Claire going to therapy and it working well and talking about love and being happy

Like why else have them interact like that omfgggg I can’t not even five minutes in and we were already getting melendaire content 😭 THEYRE SOULMATES

God damn it I knew it something was gonna happen to the girl since the guy is a okay

Well damn that medication Morgan is on for her arthritis is FUCKING her up smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

Aww all she wanted was one prom but we know Claire will make it happen for her

Aww them talking about prom and Melendez wanting Claire’s answer and her talking about her mom so freely and then going to see glassy together THE MELENDAIRE MOMENTS KEEP COMING 🙏🏼

The fact the writers were just like fuck park lmao he doesn’t even need to be in this scene with Melendez & Claire or instead of Claire 😂

I’m surprised Carly didn’t say anything about lea knowing their business again

Lmaoo Andrews calling Morgan out about sucking up and her owning it

Claire you are not sorry for overstepping don’t lie lol

Sharly working together professionally how adorable

Park is so annoying I’m v done with him he has no soul IM TIRED OF IT

I have missed Claire being pushy to help her patients

I’m glad Carly’s smarts and her being badass scenes are being extended past the lab

Oof Melendez being supportive of his boo and unsurprised of Claire wanting to make their patient happy (BECAUSE HE LOVES HER FOR IT AND IS GRATEFUL HE GETS TO WORK WITH HER REMEMBER) and wanting her to find a way around the mom 😭😭

God I love these two

Oof trouble with sharly has risen

Awww Carly and shaun getting each other and their ideas and finishing each other’s sentences l*mlendez could NEVER but melendaire could 😂 sorry cheap shot I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Glassy is gonna out Morgan on her arthritis soon I feel it

Wow a shaire moment when was the last time they shared a fucking scene like they’re supposed to be besties wtf happened writers?!!? Aaaand it’s over in like a minute

😭😭 Claire is such an angel she’s the freakin BEST

Carly using science to explain how she feels to shaun cute

Oh my god no you can’t use an Ed sheeran song with cancer patients 😭😭 that makes it 20x sadder

Melendez and Claire are totally staring at each other in awe omg

Omg Claire Melendez are chaperones park no where to be found y’all know what that MEANS and they’re the only other people there they better fucking dance together omg I can’t he just said Claire looked to be feeling idiotic happiness 😭

AND HOLY FUCKING SHIT I WAS RIGHT I FROZE AND COULDNT BREATHE BUT MELENDEZ REALLY DID ASK CLAIRE TO DANCE AND THEY DID HOLY SHIT I CANNOT BELIEVE WE GOT THAT MELENDAIRE MOMENT I’VE BEEN DYING AND WAITING FOR SINCE I SAW THE BTS SCENE OF CLAIRE IN THAT OUTFIT AND FOUND OUT THIS EP WAS GONNA BE A PROM EP I had to type all that after the moment ended so I could really experience it since I can’t pause OR rewind but I was yelling oh my god so much my sister had to ask if I was okay 😂😭 I had a heart attack when he asked her if she wanted to dance ngl

Claire being inspirational and giving good speeches again I love her so much and am so glad she’s doing better

Carly you better not have changed your MEDICAL opinion because you wanted it to align with Shaun’s 🙄

Wow glassy you really had no other ideas nor could you jump in I hate him

The melendaire exchanging looks scenes are back in action

Wow that Carly and shaun moment was super adorable him calling her idea perfect and brilliant and her being brilliant and almost perfect 😭

Man they really said fuck park this ep huh he isn’t with Claire and Melendez again

But boy shit no she died 😩😩

Wtf why can’t Claire and her patients ever catch a BREAK like leave Claire ALONE and omg does Claire being heartbroken again mean we get another Melendez comforting Claire scene?! Becaus the way he stared after her after she ran off 👀👀 oof is NOT platonic lol

Aww sharly held hands to comfort and support each other

Holy shit I was right suck it katie @pinkobsessedfreak (I’m just kidding I love you 😂💕💕) for bringing the group chat down and shutting my theory down

BECAUSE GUESS WHAT WE SERIOUSLY GOT MELENDEZ GOING AFER CLAIRE WITH ANOTHER STAIRS AND BALCONY SCENE AND HIM COMFORTING HER AND MAKING HER FACE HER FEELINGS AND TELLING HER ITS OKAY TO BE ANGRY AT HER MOM (I was robbed of a hug but it’s okay I got everything else I fucking needed tonight) and now he has an idea for with something that makes him feel better

SLOW BURN BABY WE BACK IN FUCKING BUSINESS

Also in other news shaun lost his v card and it looks like we’ll get some more Morgan angst with her mom possibly dying or some shit like that like man these writers really don’t want any of the residents and doctors to have good parents or alive ones for that matter lmao

Also some breznick moments which will be cute

YALL IM STILL SO EXCITED FROM TONIGHT LIKE OMG THIS SHOW THIS SHIP GETS ME EVERY TIME I CANT WAIT TO GIF IT TOMORROW 😭😭 like I can’t get over it I’m in SHOCK still

We’ve really gotten Melendez comforting Claire not once not twice BUT THREE TIMES this season. This really is our season and people try to say Melendez treats all his residents like he does Claire or that he has done the same for others before YEAH FUCKING RIGHT
