All through the episode, director has made choices that shows that Jamie is very alike JP.
1. He wears v liners 2. He likes racing cars 3. really looks upto JP which .. brings me to the point on yearning for an emotional family connection
what JP doesn't have and Jamie doesn't have. As soon as he comes on screen, we are told that JP and dad , both don't spend enough time with him and it were the maids who engaged him. Dad felt burdened to visit hospital. JP tenses as soon as dad is mentioned
AND JAMIE CRIED in his sleep asking LJ to not leave him like mother. WHY LJ? why not JP, why not hallucinate mom herself
We also know that JP has talked about LJ a LOT with Jamie. Jamie is a sharp child and also can sense mood changes in JP when he talks about LJ. How fondly he does... that's why from get go jamie knows that LJ is special to BJ too. **************************************** At the restuarant, when LJ and JP were kind of arguing.. part of it could be that Jamie ate the sweets knowing fully well what will happen just so he could stop the argument. OR more probable, he was behaving like a kid would do who has seen a lot of parents fighting all his life - tune out, look for sthg to distract... he probably even meant to check at home first if sweets were safe to have.. but he just tuned off then looking for a distraction from the escalating argument...
JP being good at psychology. this series including psychology. I think director has done a good job to keep psychological themes always at play in every situation.
The fear, very much like JP, is that LJ will leave... and HE IS THE ONLY PERSON in both of their lives who is so warm, caring.. truly a mother figure.
*************************** WHICH TAKES ME BACK TO EP 6, bed talk
"What kind of life you imagined with me" "Daily, ordinary life"
and BJ cried
now that hits different because in his society, it is the one thing which is not valued WHILE each one in their society badly yearns for it.... very weird setup of ultra rich society (that's why BJ also actually likes LJ's parents)
just crazy people here associating every opinion with p*rn... when the fact is they might be the one who are 24X7 thinking about it and can't see a scene beyond that
as if not liking sthg is only about not having an intense nc... morons
ok y'all, i have a question that is irrelevant to the series, but the platform and idk where else to ask, so i…
last year... most chinese paltforms did.. and they announced it in their annual gala with sponsors/ show promos event..
it was a big affair
they have also made celebrities sign that their face, voice can be used. so, physically they may not even be required but their face and voice can be used to create a full character in a show
so imagine, a Zhang linghe drama but not with actual zhang linghe
it took multiple watching to understand the creative choices made by the director.
1. 1st off, did anyone else notice BJ was also crying in the last scene? When he was telling LJ he did not forget anything. Look at his eyes - tear are falling down...
and because now i can see the tears the gravitas of his plain straight face behavior has created a certain gravitas
2. This one i give full credit to team because it shows they really really tried to understand the character and stuck to it.
BJ is someone who never emotes, suppresses his emotions well. Something he has been doing forever. We saw it in every big moment - he doesn't shout, even if angry he contains himself.
A few times we have seen his outburst, more so on crying... imagine just how helpless man must have felt (which really is just 2 moments - a) when he asked Jane what kind of life he envisaged b) breakup
(even when accused of murder, even when asked for the final wish.. he was very very in control of his emotions and voice modulation)
WHICH IS WHY in this scene too.. he is not emoting... but he has yearned for it so bad that his TEARS ARE FALLING
(for me, just being able to see that gave this scene another spin)
3. However, i still think this could have been handled better
4. I do think, BJ decided to open up that night because he could see LJ was struggling with his guild. And, i am POSITIVE that BJ was PETRIFIED that LJ would run away again
so this is my take on why last scene feels disjointed
Director explicitly made the choice of BJ noticing how much guilt LJ was feeling regarding Jamie, and causing father son fight. While coming back home, BJ noticed LJ was crying. Just extremely sad and shattered.
I think BJ was really really worried in that moment that LJ would resign and leave.
Give, BJ has been established as a genius, adept at reading people... I THINK, BJ DECIDED to cut some slack.... and in order to make LJ happy... fast tracked reconciliation
Leaving door open Not resisting or putting too much into explaining why he has been distant
Notice, he doesn't hug back LJ when LJ hugs him thanking him for remembering everything.
************ This NC feels disjointed only from BJ perspective and not at all from LJ's perspective.
BJ is actually not there to explain and have an emotional release. He planned the night to make sure he can distract LJ and get him to feel less guilt and less sad.
*************** Now, from the lens the last scene fits and makes you wonder if director is actually this intelligent or are we making up stuff. Ideally, ep 9 opening should give us a few more moments from this scene. ************** given how 1st two NCs were b'fully crafted to convey exact emotions. i think this scene was also crafted on purpose to make audience feel weird/awkward about it
You’re saying the scene was “too simple” and didn’t fit the characters, but you’re looking at it through…
yup...
oh the losers who are going about faking the story and painting the picture of people are here for p*rn and revealing more about themselves than anyone else
at the bare minimum, we know their aptitude doesn't have depth to understand, discuss, dissect and actually appreciate an art for what it is.. an artform is driven by its interpretation
i have a very interesting observation to make

2. He likes racing cars
3. really looks upto JP

Dora the Explorer..
bwaaaahahaha

this idea is taken from HC.. but then that man plays at another level.. 1 statue vs 100000000
it was a big affair

all 3 songs as yet
I hope at the end we do get sthg from BJ's perspective

this time jamie
i wonder who else is going to hospital for LJ to make out the next time
"i love you but can't admit and will make gooey eyes at you"
"While I keep running into you in all your hotness"
LJ's arc is to trust BJ and move beyond believing what others think
BJ's arc is to also learn to trust people... and give up this contract business which is a manifestation of his disdain of humans
and if you don't... then you are the dumb one
infact u watch BL only for softcore..
so yea.. we can't fix your perviness
