The real 1000th time Oh Baek-ryeon hikes up the mountain, she sees Cheon Sang-hyuk in the flesh

On the 999th time Baek-ryeon hiked up the mountain, she brings a photo of Sang-hyuk with her, to ask the gods to have her end up with him.

Later on, while she’s already off the trail and ready to have a meal in a restaurant, she realizes she left her photo of him on the mountain top.

She hikes up the mountain again (this is her real 1000th time!) and encounters Sang-hyuk in the flesh.

So she is truly destined to be with him…

wherever you are ~ my man is cupid review?!

I first stumbled across "My Man is Cupid" (MMIC) by accident on Amazon Prime and after watching the first few episodes, I was convinced that this show had set itself up for failure because it appeared to bite more than it could chew. However, nearly two months later, I stand corrected and I have to say no other show has kept me at the edge of my seat like MMIC.

The protagonist of MMIC is Cheon Sang Hyuk, a fairy who shoots arrows and sparks an attraction between two individuals. He lives with three other fairies with the same powers including Cheon Dong Pal, Cheon Dong Chil, and Cheon Dong Koo. The quartet of fairies live under the masquerade of twenty and thirty something adult men (with the exception of Dong Chil, who sometimes turns into a dog) as punishment for a mistake Sang Hyuk made 500 years ago. He falls in love with a woman, interferes with fate, and burns his own wings in the process. When Dong attempted to shoot him with an arrow in order to save him, he misses and their wings transformed from light feather to heavy metal. Since the incident, the fairies have been diligently shooting their arrows and setting humans up and going through several phases of metamorphosis in the hope that they can restore their wings.

It is in the months preceding his last metamorphosis that Sang Hyuk comes across Oh Baek Ryeon, a 28 year old veternarian, who has never had the chance to fall in love. Baek Ryeon's love life is beset with misfortunes as every man she has tried to date throughout her live is met with a near fatal injury. In a chance meeting with a tarot reader, Baek Ryeon discovers that she has sinned in her past life and in order to repent for her sins, she must climb to the top of Inwangsan Mountain and pray for 1000 times until she can meet her soulmate, something which she dutifully complies to. Baek Ryeon and Sang Hyuk meet for the first time at a small restaurant when the inebriated Baek Ryeon mistakenly calls him "honey" and the restaurant owner forces Sang Hyuk to settle her bill and take her home. They run into each other several times after the incident and they can't stand each other. However, after Sang Hyuk saves her life from a stalker and is shockingly uninjured, Baek Ryeon (miss delulu) falls instantly for Sang Hyuk, who she affectionately calls "Superman-ssi." This sets into motion the "looks one-sided but is actually mutual romantic relationship" between both characters.

Playing in the background of Baek Ryeon and Sang Hyuk's love story is the kidnapping of Go Eun Seo, a middle aged woman, who goes missing during one of the snowiest nights of the year. Coincidentally, before her disappearance, she was last with Baek Ryeon as both women, who were complete strangers to each other, are urged by the restaurant owner to share makgeolli and jeon. Leading the investigation is homicide detective Seo Jae Hae. What connects him to the main characters is not only the murder case, but also the fact that he becomes the guardian of one of the dogs that Baek Ryeon saves and treats at her clinic. He is also romantically attracted to Baek Ryeon, resulting in a love triangle between the three individuals.

My Man is Cupid is an incredibly complex story with multiple genre threads intricately woven into the storyline. It is romantic comedy, fantasy, mystery, thriller, star crossed lovers, and reincarnation galore. It's surprising how its audacity uplifts the story rather than burdens. Its also a show that isn't scared of being seriously wacky. Characters dream about their past lives and hypnosis is treated as a legitimate way to procure crime scene evidence. The second lead becomes obsessed with unveiling the main lead's identity- even at one point in the show positing a theory that he may be an alien, though he is the lead investigator of a pressing and ongoing murder case that is desperate to be solved. If things weren't crazy enough, the last episode is a cherry on top to the absurd. Everything about this show is an oxymoron, but at the end of the day its chaos and incoherence is what makes it logical, perfect, and entertaining.

Similar to its cousin " Moon In The Day", MMIC hinges on what I call the "obscured flashback", where the flashback is intentionally revealed in bits and pieces to often mislead the viewer. This tactic alongside the hypnosis is what I believe allowed the writers to seamlessly integrate the different genres in the plot and prevented the story from over-exending itself into the serial killer storyline and failing to address the fantasy elements.

MMIC wasn't the show that I was excitedly waiting for every week, but it was the one that pleasantly surprised me when I watched it in five minute stretches during my twelve hour night shifts. Like many of the shows that have come out this winter, MMIC is not a philosophical treatise laden with symbolism on the meaning of life or love. At its best, its jumpscares mixed with how whimsical and silly a person can become when they are in love. Its an optimistic reminder that at the end of the day, we all have that one person, who we are destined to be with even when the circumstances seem impossible. Finally, for all of us "delulus", its a heartfelt tale endorsing our chaotic existence on this planet.

Give My Man is Cupid a try. I don't think you'll regret it.

I just want to drink and forget him, but I want to see him again. So, I pour another bowl. I want to forget him after that drink, but I want to see him again, so I have to pour another bowl. --Baek Dong-soo, episode 29.

Let Me Die in Your Arms  <---linky

shalomdebbie

Summary:

Perfectly canon-compliant, post-canon one-shot in which Dong-soo is drinking and hallucinating Woon in place of his betrothed, Ji-sun. His mourning and trauma help him uncover his true feelings. Warrior Baek Dong-soo did not have a happy ending; I felt compelled to write this one as my fandom wife was researching and summarizing the final episode for her lovely, amusing WBDS: the Episode Guide. TW: eroticized suicide–not sorry–canon went there first.

True tags:

#canon compliant #post canon #blow that last ep up with a cannon and get back to me #angst angst angst #Dong-soo gets drunk #Woon is very dead #let’s figure this one out with Dong-soo #tw: eroticized suicide–not sorry–canon went there first #tw: alcoholism and other bad coping skills #tw: poetic writing

Notes:

Thank you to my fandom wife for beta-work and for holding my hand through all WBDS trauma.

I was recently going over the gobs and gobs of my fic from the past years for this series and realizing how much of it repeats themes, images, and phrases like someone in a stage of obsessive mourning. I’ve always maintained that repetition is relevant, repetition is relevant. Processing grief means seeing it through different perspectives, but the initial horror never quite loses its impact; to lose it would mean amnesia; to lose it would mean to abandon self-growth and to embrace a living death. Dong-soo would not have survived episode 29 without the trauma of his dearest person dying against him being an endless echo in his head, a constantly reverberating experience.

If you are having thought of self-harm or suicide, please call 988 in the United States or call a suicide hotline in your country. Suicide is preventable; people can and do heal.

For the record, in general, I reject romanticization of suicide, especially eroticization of suicide. This story was written as a rejection, albeit one that touches on delicate issues. The ending of WBDS hit me as all kinds of no no no when I first saw it. I realize my viewing will always be informed by my modern Western feminism, my issues as an abuse survivor, a suicide survivor, and as a queer, but much of fandom worldwide relishes the romantic aspects of the WBDS suicide. That’s fine. Everyone’s voice is their own. I’ve always believed, too, that queers should reclaim the Bury Your Gays trope not only by writing happy endings but by writing their own Bury Your Gays stories. FWIW, I love this FMV, Life is a Dream. (TW: it shows the romantic suicide in extra prettiness.) I want to embrace the melancholy prettiness too, you see, while acknowledging the more terrible parts.

And also fwiw, a song from Woon’s POV was playing in my head when I thought of this very sad story. Peculiar, it’s a lovely love song, and I love this arrangement of it by the Petersons.

10 Anxiety Inducing BL Moments

Tagged by @kurosawascrowsfeet AND @ommited-miscellaneously

Min Yudam watching Dong Baek get killed TWICE in the Director Who Buys Me Dinner. I was never expecting to have to watch Dong Baek die TWICE in Yudam arms. I was sweating and freaking out and mad because wtf!

Tin getting shot in Triage. YO WHEN I SAW THE GUN COME OUT AT THAT FUNCTION I WAS LIKE OH MY GAWD! GET OUT OF THERE! AND THEN TIN GOT SHOT AND I HAD TO GO LIE DOWN AFTER THAT.

Fighter's Dad finding out he's gay in Why R U the Series. That whole fight had me on the edge of my seat and pacing. It just got louder and louder and Fighter crying did not help. It was a lot. (this gif isn't from that scene it's from FighterTutor's breakup...which also gave me anxiety)

Pharm possessed by Intouch threatening to shoot himself in UWMA. Not even anxiety, that shit was just triggering.

Uea being tricked into having dinner with his abusers. Anytime Uea went back to his family home I was filled with dread but this time he had to sit there with his selfish and abusive birthgiver, her molesting husband, AND the boss that was harassing him at work. Sick to my stomach. (I knew I was not going to find a gif of that so let's just love our boy a lil extra)

Chisoo finding out Gitae was sent to kill him in Long Time No See. I just wasn't expecting for him to find out in the middle of a fight. I almost couldn't handle the fight or the explanation after it.

Gene and Nubsib coming out to their families in Lovely Writer. Ugh when they started joking about Y-series and novels and thought the whole idea was just ridiculous I already KNEW Gene was about to tell them everything and then tell them to shut the fuck up, because my boy stood on business. Of course shit went left...Gene outed his Daddy for having a male lover and then his daddy put his 26 yr old ass on punishment.

Kim Jun Ho fucking DYING in Kissable Lips. SPOILER ALERT! I just KNEW they was going to figure out a way to keep both Jun Ho and Min Hyun alive, but then Jun Ho literally went fucking BLIND the morning after they had sex. AND THEN HE DROPPED THE RING HE WAS TRYING TO GIVE MIN HYUN TO REMEMBER HIM BY. AND THEN HE FUCKING DIED IN MIN HYUN'S ARMS! AND UNLIKE TDWBMD HE DIDN'T FUCKING COME BACK.

Choco and Milk disappearing and leaving Jung Woo alone again in Choco Milk Shake. We all knew it was coming, Jung Woo too, but I was dreading it. Just knowing that his two favorite people were just going to fucking disappear! (I don't think this gif is from that scene lol)

Bai Lang having a breakdown in the street in the middle of a thunderstorm. All of Bai Lang's trauma gave me anxiety but that scene took the cake. He was just so out of it and it made me so scared for him.

I hope I did this right

Solo-Leveling Regression AU!

Sung Jin-woo, Korea's Strongest S-Rank Hunter, lost his life in the battle with the Monarchs — primordial beings who lived in the depths of the universe and had come to Earth to destroy the humankind. Unfortunately, all was lost. Sung Jin-woo was the only human standing left. . . All of his friends, all of his family, all of those he cared about were gone.

Choi Jong-in, Baek Yoon-ho, Lim Tae-gyu, Ma Dong-wook, Lee Ju-hee, Yoo Jin-ho. . . They all had been perished. The Destruction Monarch burned his comrades in a blink of an eye, along with the hundreds of innocents they were supposed to protect.

Woo Jin-chul had his body slit in half when he was rushing in to Jin-woo's aid. Chairman Go Gunhee, who was murdered by the Frost Monarch before the war had even started. Cha Hae-in. . . The Parasite Monarch had destroyed her into pieces when Jin-woo was about to shout at her to run and take his mother and sister to safety. And then not long after, his family bit the dust as well.

He lost everything. He got nothing to fight for.

He'd be lying if he did not expect the Beast Monarch's claws would thrust through his chest. And that icy blade after the elf had whispered some concluding remarks to him. Sung Jin-woo accepted defeat as well as death, knowing that everyone would be waiting for him in the other side, and he could finally be content at last.

I'm sorry for not being to able protect our world.

. . . But wait.

Why did the atmosphere suddenly feel different?

Instead of his loved ones to greet him, an entity was there instead. Its aura radiated an unfathomable feeling the same way the darkness that surrounded him did. The entity reminded him of the Monarchs who wrecked everything. . . However, Jin-woo did not sense any harm from the entity. Rather it was calm like a serene death.

"The bravest human on Earth. It is an honor to meet you." spoke a very deep voice as if it was an echo. "What happened just now was beyond my expectation. I reckoned you were verily going to win and gain peace, so it was unfortunate to see you fall into their filthy hands." Jin-woo was astounded that he could not utter a single word. The entity continued. "Fear not, hunter. This is not the end. I will give you everything in my power to return you to the past and you must do what should be remembered in history."

Rewrite the future.

Stop the deaths.

Ashborn was the name. He was the Monarch of Death — the only one who had not participated in the war. But here he was, giving the fallen hunter a chance to change the future and live a life without sorrows, and that also meant giving Jin-woo powers that were beyond his current skills as an S-Rank.

After getting briefed with his background, Ashborn laid out his palm and a golden chalice was formed out of misty air. He offered it to Jin-woo. "Drink this. Time will be restored and you can return to your life."

For a moment, Jin-woo stared at it. A key to second chance. Meet and be with the people he had lost. And prevent their lives from slipping from his fingertips. Cha Hae-in. . . Oh, his promise to marry her once the war was over and that they could live somewhere far from the dungeons. He could protect her this time. His mother, Jin-ah, Jin-ho, Ju-hee, and even his father — he could rewrite their fates.

The knowledge of the future was also his hands.

Those bastard Monarchs would pay with their existence.

As the last droplet touched his tongue, a blinding flash of light shone over his sight and his body felt light like a leaf. He braced himself in anticipation.

. . . He woke up in front of a gate.

Lee Ju-hee was the first person he saw, along with Song Chi-yul. They were alive. But what about him? Jin-woo made his way to the nearest parked vehicle to check the side-mirror, and to his shock, his whole face was just like the one he had when he was seventeen — scrawny and fragile. He returned as an E-Rank Hunter.

No matter. He had a new purpose this time. . . To get stronger and more powerful to not make the same mistakes ever again.

Vengeance was in his blood now.

first chap.

[i-bring-crack]

I can understand Cha Hae In suddenly wanting to be close to Jin Woo.

I mean, imagine if your entire life everyone around you smells as though they just came from an anime convention. jk, but in part it is true, some people smelling bad, others smelling at least neutral, the higher up they seem then the stronger the stench smells until it can cause you a headache, dizziness and maybe even vomiting like it almost happen with the Ant King.

And on top of that you had to see them every day on your job, they were everywhere. The stronger they where the harder it was to evade their smell which is probably why she might have never sparred with S ranks, or at least we see that she choose to become the pupil of a C rank instead of other higher ranked swordsman.

So here are some canon divergence I would have liked to do for the story, obviously some of the ideas might be in other fics I will eventually make:

If the author wanted her to have some sort of connection to the E rank, he could have had. Especially since Sung is the literal weakest which probably meant that he wouldnt smell as bad to her as say, you know, every other hunter. She could have befriended more low ranked people because they dont smell as bad, which could have also show her caring nature against those weaker than her.

We can see she cares because she is going out on patrol during her raids when it is time to rest, and it could even help show a bit more interaction between the mining team and the rest of the upper ranked hunters, giving her a subversion of basically what every other S rank has done up until now, which is act like they are in control of everything. (Like the mining team casually dropping hints that "Oh yeah Miss Cha is more calm than all the other S ranks, Mr Ming Byung Gyu too because they treat us like normal human beings despite their power exceeding us by miles. Its almost like tshe doesnt care about numbers for a dungeon but rather people which she can rely on and help.")

Cha Hae In could have even come to "know" Sung Jin Woo through Mr Song, her teacher, and about the constant dangers he was in. Which, unfortunatly due to her constant working she wouldnt have time to meet him but would definetly know of his situation in the dungeons, and maybe tend to help him out by letting Woo Jin Chul or another member of the assosiation keep an eye out on the poor boy. She could also have a sharp sense thatt he might not have done this for fun. And this conversation could have been explored around the prisoners arc. She doesnt need to have known him for a long time, but the gradual idea of acknoledgement even as an E rank could be intriguing to see. How does an s rank think of an E rank? is the lower ranker more brave than the S rank? would she be curious as to how he is constantly be saved? would it be pity or wave it off? We meet the first S rank as Hwang Dong Soo, someone who is ready to kill without any remorse two low ranked hunters, thus establishing a first idea to how even D´s and E´s can be preyed upon by S ranks. But then we would have another point of view, an opposite point by having Hae In tend that code of "Protect the weak no matter how strong you are." thus also explaining as to why the whole world hasnt completely been changed by tyrant S rankers, because there are still others who hold their morals far above than their own powers.

We have the Hunters Assosiation, yes, but what do normal S ranks think? do they value other lives? or is it just money and power they are under? and when we get to the Red gate arc, have the confrontation between Baek and Hwang, it can be shown that yes, people are still naturally good despite the whole awakening and dungeons and new enemies to fight with.

Anyways having Mr Song as her teacher would actually connect Cha Hae In and Sung Jin Woo to something that wasnt just coincidental. She could have learned about the double dungeon and even shown a bit of care towards those who survived it, once again showing that she cares not only low ranked hunters but also her master that was in probably one of the most traumatic events of his life so we wont brush off the PTSD that fast, or at least not turn it in simply a cold act.

And with that level of knowledge it wouldnt come off as weird for Cha Hae In to suddenly drop out of nowhere in Sun Jin Woo's life (it was weird cuz she is suddenly willing to leave everything out for him without even knowing his personality, I get it why (and also the whole feeling safe under him adue to Jeju, which, fair) but at least some hesitance could have fleshed her out more, like she doesnt know who he personality wise and only did a surface level research, there could have been more, SHE COULD HAVE TALKED WITH HER MASTER!!!. But if she knew him before or at least got the sense of who he was, she could have weighted out her options and opted to meet him again, maybe offer him some work at the dungeon so she can be around the boy more and doesnt have to fear for his safety, or if he chooses to become a backpack boy then she could have someone who doesnt smell as bad as the rest of her team, and thus lean closer to him.)

The research part could have also been expanded on like how Woo Jin Chul had done but bc she has more influence as an S rank and is the vice-master, she could have been the first to gather up on jin Woo´s mother, or even, the sudden shift in hospital visits. She could have supplanted a theory to Jin Chul or Jong In or Baek yoon ho (gnashing my teeth bc Yoon Ho seems to be the most apparent to her well being, seeing that he seemed to worry about her nose problems when they were sparring between S ranks. ) about him being a false ranker, which could alarm Jin Chul in order to understand hima little better.

If Cha was someone who deeply cared about others (which she is) then she could have also served to link Jin Woo more closer to his humane side than simply letting him be edgy as fuck. Of courseis not the whole "I can fix him" its rather the "Fix yourself Im just here tomake sure you dont become worse"

Because, he killed, he has the power to kill as many as he can and no one will be there to stop him at some point, he is loosing himself to the powers of the Shadow Monarch, to the Black Heart, he is becoming more and more Apathetic. But for the first time, he gains a friend (or at least a friend which doesnt feel like he is a burden too, with Lee Joo Hee they were close and I also wish they got to explore more of her too but not right now, this is Cha time,) he gains some support in his life and when Cha Hae In goes out to confront Sung Jin Woo about: The smell, the weird reawakening, his sudden jump to powers as he continously grows, and also the message Min Byung Gyu left for her, He COULD FINALLY have someone to talk about the system!

Sorry, but yeah, he can finally talk about all the things that the system has commanded him to do so, and because he has no choice but to answer her (She is an S rank that has been nice to her and she doesnt show off any sign of killing him, so he cant excuse the system for her death or try to threaten her, he has to at least answer. And maybe he can be vague or he can come completely clean, but he can at least get some things off his chest.) and suddenly Jin Woo now has someone which can at least try to him to help sort his problems out.

Though im not making Cha Hae In the therapist here, nor do I want Jin Woo to suddenly have all his problems resolved, but I can see it as the first step for Jin Woo to not be overcomed to take the position of Ashborn. Which, granted, he didnt have much of choice in the matter cuz it was a "Become Shadow Monarch or die" kind of situation, and he did want to grow strong enough to survive and pay his bills, to save his mother, but after Jeju there seems to be a breaking point. there is almost no reason to go on further because he has fufilled all that has mattered to him, but the system still wants him to go on, to keep struggling and becoming stronger so he can protect even bigger threats that NO ONE knows existed.

Cha Hae In, and maybe Baek Yoon Ho too, even Yoo Jin Hoo could start to gain more relevance here because they too have continued to hunt despite obtaining what they needed. Jin Ho still wanted to be with Jin Woo because of his family problems and could have sought out for more of Jin Woo's affection as well as the affection of the other sibling that also cared for his brother every day, Jin Ah. (Could have fleshed out that dynamic because Jin Ah seriously had more backstory with her friend Song Yi than Yoo "legit never met him once and now she is his wife at the last chap" Jin Ho.)

Jin Woo could have learned through Baek Yoon Ho's life just how great Byung Gyu was before and therefore leave an impact of Sung Jin Woo and whenever or not he should be using human soldiers when at some point they were just normal human beings. Iron, who did leave the weakest behind to die, but they were also stuck in an extreme situation with dire circumstances. The mage Park Hee Jin could have also come back and made Jin Woo face that other psychological conundrum about Iron. But instead of getting rid of Iron, cuz, its Jin Woo, he instead starts to think of what it really means for his shadow soldiers to be revived, and that if they are now under the shadow of an S rank hunter, they are hunters of their own who will, by choice, understand and protect humanity, not only because they are ordered to, but because this is a second life which they are allowed to become heroes.

And it dives even deeper into those shadows which, when we see the School dungeon break out, we can see some of the shadows be more impactful towards the situation at hand. Some who are apathethic to it, but other shadows who do feel a bit of remorse towards the situation bc of their link to a human(Jinwoo) is affecting their minds and letting thm have more empathy, making them more human than shadow.

Slowly, maybe even Sung Jin Woo too, could start to think if the fighting against magical beasts is really worth it, and how long will it be until humanity has exterminated all alien life through this.

We could see Sun Jin Woo develop more 🎆detective skills🎆 as he tries to find out about the working behind the gates and the awakened humans. Cha Hae In could also use her nose to detect waves of mana that are different from the rest, just like how she did with Jin Woo, and as they work toguether they truly start becoming friends friends. They get on each others nerves, they play with each other, they would no longer feel socially awkward, they tease and do their best to work well with one another, theyd comfort each other and even debate whenever or not they should try to reach out to see if the international rank hunters are like Jin Woo. Maybe Choi Jong In joins in after seeing his S rank get along too well with the Ahjin guild helps Jin Woo and Jin Ho on how to run a guild, which they are suprised by but Choi relates to Hae In that unlike Baek, he doesnt want to fight another S rank over the authority of the A rank dungeons in those areas, and maybe the Hunters guild can branch out to take more part in other cities of Korea without worring about the big cities, after all the gates are increasing.)

And then comes then Double Dungeon!

Which now feels a little more natural for Jin Woo and Hae In to be called friends, and even more reason for the Hunters, especially Cha He In, to save him from completely loosing himself to the Shadow Monarch and his black heart.

Worst second lead syndrome in KDRAMA?

there's a couple of contenders :'D

mr. sunshine: gu dong mae and kim hui seong

when the female lead has 3 love interests and you like 2 of them way more than the one who was endgame 🤡. dong mae/ae sin reminded me so, so much of a more dark version of one of my eternal OTPs, renji/rukia from bleach: childhood connection, woman from a noble class, guy from a rough background, they separate and reconnect years later. although in mr. sunshine the guy turns to organized crime :'| but the pining. the scene where ae sin's dress goes over dong mae's hands will keep me fed for years!

hui seong on the other hand was just so damn likeable. i have a thing for the Sad Clown character archetype and i think him and ae sin could have really understood each other given some more time, but sadly that doesn't exist for ANY of the couples in this drama.

--

reply 1994: chil bong yi/"seven shut-outs"

lol the second lead syndrome that got me to drop an entire drama :'D i remember their kiss scene at the party and how it cut to him having to run extra laps during baseball practice but he was smiling the whole time and i was like no i cant watch this guy become a punching bag for 10 more eps :'D

--

she was pretty: kim shin hyuk

on the one hand, we got a certified Weirdo who is super into the female lead before her makeover, is supportive of her at work, and looks like the center of one of the biggest kpop groups of all time?

on the other hand, we got a mean boss who used to be a childhood friend, but apparently doesn't recognize her anymore because she's no longer hot

like. this was no contest??

cheese in the trap: baek in ho

now that i've read the webtoon, i actually like the main couple a little more, but in terms of drama!CITT, it should have been baek in ho all the way. the two had way more chemistry, better scenes, and better development. it says something that i was way sadder about their friendship breakup than hong seol's breakup with her actual boyfriend

--

my first first love: seo do hyun

SONG YI LITERALLY SAID HE WAS HER LOVE STORY?! ugh!!!! this one continues to baffle me, because they actually dated in the drama, had great chemistry, and the only reason they drifted apart was because do hyun had family obligations and couldnt just drop everything at any moment the way tae oh could. tae oh + song yi felt shoehorned in together at the end, and their love story fell flat comparatively. tbh i interpret do hyun's present to song yi as a "see you when you're ready for your second husband" beginning and i will not accept other interpretations

--

and last but not least:

chicago typewriter: yoo jin oh/shin yul

this one-sided love story totally wrecked me. he mentored her, he betrayed their organization to save her life, she shot him for it. he comes back as a ghost and still loves her ;; like!!! ahhhhhhh. it didn't help that se ju was a dick for the first half of the drama. the scene with seol's shoelaces coming undone and "someone's missing you" will wreck me until the end of my days

I think a scenario where Seung-soo and Dong-gyu fall in love would be really funny because like:

Baek Seung-soo: oh yeah hes a immature joker who only knows how to handle things with his fists and he is also incredibly arrogant

Person: ....And?

Baek Seung-soo: Oh there isnt an "and". Hes in fact a insufferable person and I kinda appreciate that in some way

while

Lim Dong-gyu: I dont believe that I'm in love with that boring ascetic bitch

#love my babies #hot stove league #talking about a kdrama that nobody talks about it #😭 #wheres the fandom??? #s: are you a gangster or a baseball player?

[poetry-protest-pornography]

Dong Baek: My new boss is the ideal man. But he's crazy.

Yu Dam: Hi, nice to meet you. Date me.

Dong Baek: See what I mean?

Yu Dam: No, really. You'll die.

Dong Baek: Totally bonkers, this guy.

*experiences The Horrors*

Oh no.

... Can I think about it?

Hyungnim, Where Were We? <--linky

shalomdebbie

Omg, I wrote something not homosexual. Or even romantic. And it’s not a fight scene. Maybe it’s Heuk Sa-mo vs Buddhism. I had some questions. I figured Sa-mo would as well.

Summary:

On the anniversary of Kim Gwang-taek’s death, Heuk Sa-mo throws a Confucian jesa for his Buddhist blood-brother, drinks makgeolli, and talks to him about the differences between their generation and the next. Did the blood-brothers fail the young ones? Did Gwang-taek fail the blood-brothers? Can Sa-mo face that possibility?

Thank you as always to thememoryofthatday without whom these stories could not be written. She’s a wonderful editor and inspiration.

Birthday party masterlist

i’m starting a new “challenge” for myself and it’s to post a drabble on the designated member’s birthday.

since life is unpredictable, there might be times when i can’t/forget to post but they’ll still be published later.

not all of them will be birthday themed.

DISCONTINUED (because i realised that this is a crazy idea and i got way to overwhelmed by it to the point that i didn’t want to write anything at all. hehe.)
