I really don't understand the hype for this show, I mean, I just don't get it… unless it's because of Enaga/Ayumu's…
"a small, helpless boy who trips over his own feet falls in love with a handsome, tall man—and that's the driving force and the main reason he keeps going and pursues his dreams."
I guess you could see it that way but you're disregarding a lot of the nuances. Teenage Chiaki was inspired by seeing AE walk the runway (I didn't read it as falling in love) to become a fashion designer. He isn't helpless - we see that he is very skilled at design, he works hard at his day-job, and he's a good cook. However, he hasn't ever really dipped his toes into the 'nightlife' and that's where AE steps in.
AE is Chiaki's bias - he loves and idolizes AE as a fan. It's Enaga who he truly falls in love with. Although Enaga is tall, he is not considered handsome (that wig!! lol) and is also clumsy, and not as skilled in sewing as Chiaki. It's the conflict of his feelings between AE, who Chiaki loves as a fan, and Enaga, who he grows to love after working closely on the project together, which makes the plot so interesting to me.
It's fun reading the comments and seeing so many people enjoy this drama. I watched it back when it was released and it felt like people really slept on it.
This is what I refer people to when they say Pond can't act. He was phenomenal in this, but when he's given cliche, boring characters to play he doesn't really have a chance to shine.
I'll stick with this but I'm worried about Yo being such an unlikeable character. I mean, of course he fits the trope of the spoiled rich misunderstood kid and that's fine. But the show isn't giving us any little glimpses that he has other sides to him. I'd like to see more facets to his character. Although I'm sure there will be character growth throughout the series, so I'm looking forward to that! :)
I was hyped for this show and it hasn't disappointed me! Yes it's a bit campy but I think that is inevitable with the 'vampire romance' genre. It feels like the creators understood the assignment, LOL.
Mark knows that Nakan is close enough to hypnotise Meena, but instead of hunting him down, he's out here huddled…
I'm wondering if it is a vampire politics thing. It seems like Nakan is fairly powerful in the vampire world, so maybe Thara and Mark are hesitant to just outright attack him and start a vampire civil war or something. That would be my guess , but they haven't really explained a lot about how the vampire world works so who knows LOL.
I have some thoughts about the breakup scene. I see a lot of confusion and frustration here over how Bahmee expressed her feelings to Tae during that scene. I see how it can be interpreted as Bahmee blaming Tae for the situation, but I don't think that's the case. She begins the conversation by apologizing. He tries to brush it off and tell her that it was his fault for not paying attention to her. She doesn't deny that claim, but merely affirms that she felt like she was putting in a lot of the effort into the relationship. She then cries and apologizes again and he hugs her, and he tells her not to blame herself. This is important to me because it shows that he knows she is still blaming herself. He knows she doesn't blame him for the situation.
They were having a conversation (which they should have had long before IMO) about the dynamics of their relationship. He admitted to not being fully present in the relationship, and she simply agreed that she felt that way too. She didn't say 'that's why I cheated' and clearly still feels full responsibility. And Tae didn't appear to feel that she was blaming him.
I'd like to quickly note that I don't advocate cheating, I think she should have taken some more time to sort out her feelings, but she made a mistake and what's done is done.
Anyways, I feel like people are going to come for me haha. But that's just my interpretation of the scene. Honestly I would have liked there to be a little more dialogue here, it felt like the writing was a tad sloppy. BUT we can't spend the whole show on these two sillies, gotta get back to Ryan and Jane LOL.
Ok I couldn't resist and ending up watching the whole episode... I'm going to regret this when I wake tomorrow…
Wow, incredible theory!! There were points where I was also thinking it must be some kind of parallel universe situation, but I applaud you for attempting to untangle all that!!
I don't think Nan is the second body found by the water because if I remember correctly the second body was also…
I went back to check. They said "Exactly like the previous corpse. Found at the same place. Also an open wound on the head." To me that's purposefully vague...could be a gunshot or a blow to the head. Although the wording "exactly like the previous corpse" seems to imply it was a blow to the head
