About the soul-swap partners:
I love that neither of them decided to stick to their given roles. In either universe, really.
You’ll get what I mean.
Cale, who was Kim Rok Soo, does not keep up the image of trash. He calls himself trash, he is called trash. He does not keep his reputation. Not the alcoholism, and he doesn’t throw bottles at gangsters. No, he takes care of the underworld and other nobles in his own way (ie, recruitment or utter destruction). He does not have his old reputation in this world either. He’s not known as this cold leader who doesn’t care when someone dies, he’s known as a brilliant young man who cares way too much. He’s known as an idiot who would rather pass out from exhaustion a week later than leave things to fester for one minute.
And then there’s Kim Rok Soo, who was Cale Henituse once upon an apocalypse. (First the fuq of all, nobody knew jac squat about him in the first place, and being the son of his mother probably made him something of an automatic anomaly. I assume just being a Thames makes you kinda weird. But anyway!) He lived as trash, an alcoholic who threw too many bottles back and then at the wall. Then he lived through 20 years of a losing war. And he got tired. Tired enough to listen to a voice in his head in his last moments, to switch worlds and bodies with some stranger. And he chose the motto that reflects the sentiments of his soul swap partner to a T: let’s live peacefullly.
And he smiles now, as Kim Rok Soo. He sits back in his office chair, with an easygoing attitude. He’s not the trash that would only shout; he is sly, and he knows how to use his status to properly put punks in their place. He’s the team leader who refuses to be mistreated by anyone. He will not be used, he would rather do his work as he needs to. He isn’t a lowlife with no responsibilities in the wake of a war he would be just about useless in; he has a niece he has to go home to. He drinks casually, not too much. And he smiles in a way that’s too bright for the cold Kim Rok Soo. He’s too happy now to be called cold-blooded. It’s like there’s a fire in his eyes that had been lost ages ago. Something that was rekindled when he had someone to go home to.
Despite changing their own lives so much, they wound up being nearly the same as one another and that drives me a little insane.
And let's not forget the best part. One famous line they have in common in every world:
“Should I flip everything over?”
Another thing: I think Cale's gonna start resembling Kim Rok Soo. As in, he'll start relaxing a bit as the work goes on, he'll learn to rest as he goes (as in actually rest) and delegate work properly. He won't brush past comments like he used to, he will look a person in the eye and go 'I can just leave this world and leave you to your fate' which I would love to see, honestly. I feel like their individual capacity to be petty increases with age, and that's probably one of my favorite things about these characters. So them finding new ways to piss off people who don't like them could just be made into its own series and I would sell my soul for it.

Great to know OC like Lunar and Earth get more attention then the actually canon one. Jack-O-Moon is so side joke, Sun getting less attention and Eclipse been replace with a copy. We could of have a Bloodmoon thing going on with Jack. Sun might die and then what? Moon got replace with a new Moon, But sun is been GONE. Also i don´t like how Ruin who is actually name Eclipse change his name to Ruin. Ruin is not good name.
hahaha ok yea, this is the Sun and Moon show, not the "LOOK AT HOW MANY CELESTIALS OC WE CAN PUT" Show hahaha
like, Eclipse and Lunar? fair fair, when Earth - Ruin -Jack and even just Solar got added felt like too much
dont get me wrong on Solar!or it works perfect with the whole "dimentional versions!" wish they had keep that a more dominant plot line.. we dont need an Earth, nor a Mars or a Jack o Moon ..
specially with how the are treated? no no..and look, as mean as I am to Earth, I can see she WAS a great concept, a great idea, but done wrong.. she was supposed to be something yet now is a whole different thing..
if you wanted to have ocs at lest be sure to make it right and give them their own place at first moment like the show stared it
-just ppl wanting to have fun- theres was no need to push her into a family that was already not stable, and being "the one that glues them together" why? why most woman characters must that way?
why cant she just be her own person who, chooe and slowly is accepted? like Lunar was, also, Lunar having his own place was such a cool idea, have time to be himself, with that had more time to cook..
but, as a whole, this show feels like Steven Universe, have great characters! but IS TOO MUCH, way too much.. and they dont have time to develop anyone in the right ways..
also yea! Ruin? what type of name is that? I dont see why he even stays along, if he's not gonna be the villain then is YET another OC pushed by force.. -sigh-
also yea.. look I love when Moon and Solar share some time, but kinda wish their moments to be less lore center, and more "nerds being nerds" like the dragon ep..
with it was the Sun and Moon show, with burned cheeto and blue man as special guests..
but eh, this is me, personally, I can totally be wrong..
