20220714 Dear M. Up to Episode 9  [SPOILERS SORRY]

Dear M. was a highly anticipated drama that fizzled out and was postponed due to scandals and I guess just some bad luck. All that aside, I wanted to talk about the drama itself and the storytelling of what I have watched so far!

I still have three episodes left so we'll see what happens after I watched those but I wanted to write some things down now before I forget anything.

First thing's first, I do want to note that I have been LOVING this drama so far. I love the romance and (most of) the characters and it makes me feel all fuzzy inside and I have been having very tangible reactions to this show. But there are also some things that I really need to talk about for some reason that I don't know. 

The Relations Map is Kinda Crazy

I was trying to map it out for my friend and I started laughing I'll post it maybe. But there are so many love triangles it's funny. 

I Miss The Aesthetic (among other things) of Love Playlist

I think this is tough because I understand the appeal of the aesthetic (lighting, clothes, vibes, etc.) of Dear M., HOWEVER Love Playlist was beloved for a reason, and there's a reason Dear M. was even created after it. Love Playlist was fun, spunky, and went into different relationships in an interesting way. Dear M. though is very cliché and draws heavily from many beloved tropes. And of course, it is a lot more dramatic than I remember Love Playlist. I also miss the playlist part of it! Speaking of, where is this song Maple Latte, and the rest of the OST? Is it because the show was postponed? Lastly in this section, I really really miss Pureum and the more dynamic and character-y characters! I feel like Jimin was a lot more spunky than she turned out to be (I know she is played by a different actress, but the writing is different too?) and her character has become kinda one-dimensional? Some of the best-written characters are the more character-y ones like Mokjin and Young! I wish there was a bit more of that and a bit more of the goofiness and fun of being a college student instead of the melodrama they created. 

Jimin, Haneul, and Rosa's Storyline is too Frustrating

If you are going to pit one woman against another (which I am truly sick of these women against women stories) why can’t you make it more nuanced?? Why can’t you go beyond oh this one guy liked Jimin but Rosa liked him? It’s been too overdone and it’s starting to feel a little sexist… Also Rosa keeps making one manipulative move after another it’s honestly kind of impressive like she is playing CHESS. I loved Hwang Boreumbyeol in the ONF Webdrama, Can I Step In? (although I know that objectively, it is not a good drama HAHA) but I am starting to think I’m going to have a hard time looking at her the same. She is VERY good at glaring and making disgusted faces very impressive. Also I feel like Jimin and Haneul’s relationship should’ve been fleshed out more before they went against an adversary of their love. The last time watchers of Love Playlist saw them they JUST got together after Haneul realized that he does not like Pureum if I am remembering correctly. Again, a reason why Pureum would’ve made a great addition. 

I Really Love Minho and Jooah Though

I am truly a sucker for the childhood best friends to lovers trope. It’s also super super interesting because this feels like a new take on that trope with Minho not really being in the unrequited love the whole time? Usually it’s extended but it seems like they set it up so that his love blossomed from seeing her liking someone else (which again the jealousy thing is kinda overdone but I honestly think that the way they did it is more complicated than that it’s more like he is seeing her in a new light, not feelings being activated by jealousy which I can appreciate). I also like both actors in these parts, I think they were casted really well!! I also think Jaehyun would’ve blown up on the acting circuit if this show had come out as previously planned and if they were able to promote it. I am lowkey terrified of that man and am a little sus of him but I also have come to be a huge simp for him over the years. I was telling my friends that my heart does a weird thing when I hear his voice??? Anyways I hate when people serenade people because it’s so cringe but the way they did it with Jaehyun really had me giggling and kicking my legs while on my lunch break at work. 

Moon Joon’s Character has Thrown Me for a Loop

I honestly cannot believe this man. First, my reaction was very strong for him, and I couldn’t tell if he was the main male lead or not? I’m usually a sucker for second male leads so I just kinda figured it would be Jaehyun at first. Like Joon was perfect but then holy shit him taking credit for Minho’s app and then HOLY SHIT HE HAD A GIRLFRIEND?? That plot twist was too much of a twist like it really came out of nowhere. I understand trying to surprise the viewer but I feel like this is to the point where it doesn’t make sense? So weird, unexpected, and honestly I’m not sure I like how this character turned out even though I REALLY liked him earlier. How could he have a girlfriend I’m so confused there were too many romantic things in a row they KISSED ugh so confusing.

I Appreciate Jooah Figuring Out Her Dream Through Her First Love

I feel like people, ESPECIALLY women are scolded and looked down on for discovering things because of other people but Young was right when she said that all of us are made up of the people that we interact with. I think it is really admirable that Jooah decides to stick with what she discovered she liked and not be knocked down because the reason why she came to like it didn’t work out. 

Alrighty so these are my thoughts on Dear M. for now. I am sure there are a lot more that I am forgetting but I am now tired of typing and I think I’m done for the day haha. If I have more thoughts after finishing the drama up I will post about it but I also might not have any. 

So far: 8/10!! I really like it as long as I separate it from Love Playlist in my mind but I also know that it is pretty trope-y and that’s not for everyone no matter how much I might love it. 

Disclaimer: I honestly did not proof read this I am sorry.

Ahhh, exciting! For your holding hands askgame, would you do "running their thumb over the other's hand", "grabbing hand to show them something or grab their attention", and/or "unconsciously searching out each other's hand while sleeping" for hwanghan? :3

(how many times will i write basically the same thing with them cuddling while sleeping? the limit does not exist!!!!!)

Si Mok never slept until Yeo Jin was home. It’s why he liked picking her up at work. They spent so much time apart that when they were finally together, he was a bit greedy. He didn’t know that was something he could feel, but he learned and he felt it. He missed her when she was gone. 

So it was a surprise that he dozed off reading about the change in evidence handling in the current updates to operations manual. Okay, maybe not a big surprise, the writing was quite dry. 

Yeo Jin’s cold feet startled him awake. 

“You’re working too much,” she said before scooting closer to him, putting her head on his chest and tugging his arm over her so she could hold his hand. “You never fall asleep waiting for me.” 

He thought about arguing with her but already her breathing was evening out and her hand that was holding his slowed. He reached over and touched her cheek before kissing the top of her head and closing his eyes to sleep.

When he woke up, she wasn’t in his arms anymore and for a split second, he wondered if he’d dreamed her. It happened like that sometimes. His broken mind playing tricks on him. But as if she could read his thoughts in her sleep, she rolled over closer to him, reaching for his hand and tucking his head under her chin. She was still asleep, he felt her breath on his hair as he wrapped himself around her. 

Si Mok settled in, drifting back to sleep and trying to forget all the years he slept alone, without someone to hold him.

Still missing Hwanghan :(

So decided to write a fanfic for the first time ever. Starts from the final farewell scene in S2. And bunch of short time jumps. More angst than fluff  - but had a lot of fun writing. It’s my version of their grown-up romance/something more/whatever-you-may-want-to-call-it!

Likes & comments appreciated. Hope you enjoy it!

THERE WAS SILENCE | CGM

From: Stranger [Forest of Secrets] (2017)

This scene speaks a lot of things, and I was simply amazed how a lot of emotions were expressed with just a short script, voice, and facial expression.

She asked about his parents. It was something personal - something he wasn’t yet ready to say, and so there came silence, and… she understood that. Slightly changing the subject, she asked why he didn’t tell her about his surgery as if claiming it was something she had to know - a kind of question you ask to a friend, a close friend particularly. Next, she asked if the pain was already gone, and he replied his common answer to that common question.

It was the usual routine, the usual question he receives from someone who knows his condition - mainly his mother. That was until, she asked him to tell her if the pain comes back. This simply states ‘care’ - extending beyond ‘confirming and checking’. She was willing to help him even though she couldn’t do anything about it - that short crack from her voice, expressing that pain when you want to do something and help someone you care about but can’t.

And, he understood that. He appreciated that. His face speaks as if he just received and heard something for the first time - those warm and honest words entering his heart, because… Finally, someone knows, someone cares. After all those years of keeping his condition from everybody, with just his parents (most probably) in knowledge about it (who had a life of their own presently and not really there around him), and after all those years of isolating himself (he once claimed he would probably be alone forever), there came this completely understanding woman, volunteering to help him. It was truly touching, comforting.

There was silence…

And then, he spoke up to ease her guilt - that it wasn’t her fault, that she hadn’t caused someone’s death. She had comforted him and she deserved comforting words from him, and so he gave her some.

Indeed, it was amazing… to finally meet such person.

Silly Hwang Shi Mok and Han Yeo Jin doodles. Can be taken to be either platonic or romantic (they’re so cute together I’m screaming)

1) Yeo Jin ensuring that Shi Mok doesn’t starve and isn’t alone whilst he eats. 

2) Has thing to discuss with Yeo Jin but she sleep. 

3) Smiling lessons by Detective Han Yeo Jin. 

4) Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok is always the first person Han Yeo Jin shows her doodles to. He is also regularly the subject of her doodles. Shi Mok doesn’t say it but he enjoys the attention.

Guys, go watch Stranger / Secret Forest right now! I love this show so much, these two characters are so cute plus the story is amazing.
