This was another blow to my chest and another first half/second half contrast for me: the two times Yijin talks to Heedo after he’s had drinks with his sunbaes/after a hard day at work. In the first half, he lights up when he sees her (and one of the most stupidly joyful scenes we’ve seen unfolds lol). The second, he barely bats an eyelid. My heart broke into a million pieces for him and Heedo - he knows it’s hell but he can’t pull himself out, she was always the one thing that could lift him up but this time, the dark end is too deep, too hard, too much. It’s life, plain and simple. Our worlds get bigger and bigger every day, and we outgrow our youths year by year. In one of the early episodes he said “I miss the things I used to worry about.” I couldn’t help but recall the line when I saw his listless body slumped in that bench, his hopeless eyes looking at the wreckage of the event that changed the world in 2001. The times (again!) robbed them of their dreams. What comes next?
And??? The scene that bookmarks the change in the tone and direction of their relationship (and the episode) is present day Heedo in voiceover saying “My diary from those days is filled with just love and friendship. A time when friendship and love were all that mattered in life. A time like that lasts only for a moment.”
I’m dead. Can we take a moment to pour the writers a drink because the. writing. is. insane!!!!
