#though i think overall (and outwardly) i'm a lot more like oh-aew

[shinjaeha]

i was thinking about ep 2 again (and prob should have added this to my original thoughts post but forgot since it was already so long), and i think another reason teh was so mad at oh-aew during the dinner scene was bc he’d just seen that ig story of oh-aew messing around with his friends RIGHT after another failed audition. so here he was at dinner lamenting to his drama club friends about how tough their career path was (all of whom have been working just as hard/even harder than him in order to land roles in something), and then oh-aew comes in to ‘interrupt’ this. to teh, oh-aew already gives up too easily, so to see him just having fun with his friends instead of working hard like he and the rest of his friends are? it’s like the final straw.

the problem with that is, just like any social media post, we’re only seeing a snippet of someone’s life. of course oh-aew is only going to post about him having fun with his friends on ig. we, the audience, know that he’s actually been working hard on his assignment with them as well. however, teh is having such a hard time getting outside of his own head, he doesn’t even try to see things from oh-aew’s perspective (not for the first time). he’s only seeing what he wants to see.

it’s like oh-aew taking that pic of all of them at dinner and posting it to his story too. you generally only show the good/best parts of your day on social media. if anyone else saw that, they would think dinner went well and everything was fine with their relationship. but there’s just so much more to the story than meets the eye bc the post itself is just surface level.

#i promised you the moon #ipytm #text #i know it kind of sounds like i'm just constantly reaming teh out bc of this ep but everything i say is with love #bc i think i've said it before but teh is my fave character on this show #i see so much of myself in his character #though i think overall (and outwardly) i'm a lot more like oh-aew #but that's why whenever he does something disappointing i become that tyra banks 'i was rooting for you we were all rooting for you!!' meme #anyway...ep 3 preview had me going THROUGH things and idk if i'm ready but also i think they really do need a break #there's just so much to sort out
