"Trashier than trash..." was one of my other fave lines. :)That beer-pouring moment was heart-rending.
I mean the pouring of the beer is kind of where their "relationship" stands right now, kind of symbolically.
Haoren thinks he is almost not human and has to be stoic always, with no weakness so as to not feel anything, and just... survive. He wants to not care when he hurts Chihiro intentionally, he wants to not feel anything when Chihiro cries, and he wants to feel only apathy even for his slimy "vocation". Haoren doesn't want Chihiro clingy, because he refuses to acknowledge he feels possessive of Chihiro. And his actions and thoughts are incredibly understandable given the dehumanizing abuse he went through.
And, Chihiro considers himself unworthy, only trash, to go so far as to consider sleeping with an ex who he knows is lying as a viable option and even being a pet of a man who likes to see him crying, sounds ok to him.
I think just the way Chihiro saw something in Haoren, the night they sort of hooked up and he ended up getting beaten, and then later, the next time he woke up in the garbage and saw Haoren, his assaulter and still entered Haoren's car, the pouring of the beer was symbolic, as a strange form of communication of the true depth of their feelings, that only works for them.
I am not justifying the beer pouring but I wouldn't expect anything else from a broken, beaten man who doesn't even know how to feel and a man so love-starved, overlooked, abandoned, and discarded, who thinks he is worth nothing but trash.
It's the same way afterward when Haoren asks, "Trash or living sex-toy?" and the line itself feels pretty demeaning but to Chihiro (who smiles softly) it's not, because he knows that Haoren is not trying to humiliate or hurt him. It's just their way of working, understanding, and developing this "relationship" they both need and desire so much to embark on.
This series wrecks my heart with every episode and yet I love it so much! It's like watching two different broken pieces with sharp edges, get mended together exactly perfectly!
Also, I can't believe Haoren called the ex eco-friendly🤣🤣🤣
Not a criticism but why do I feel Pond and Phuwin play similar characters and dynamics in almost every series?! Cold know-it-all Pond secretly doting on an oblivious and resistant Phuwin.
7,4? okay, mostly because of the annoying FL, right? lol, this drama deserves way higher rating, you can't be…
What about this deserves a higher rating??
The lousy script? The predictable "plot twist"? The obnoxious chemistry between the MLs and the FL? The incoherent "time jumps"? The banality of the story? The cliches?? The absolutely horrendous pacing? The trash acting? The complete sideling of an interesting character? The absolute nosedive from being a revenge-political drama, to the caricature of an age-old, done and-dusted "love triangle" with zero characters to root for?
