I know Namor making that mural was either to memorialize the battle or because he greatly respects and maybe admires Shuri. But this scenario was too funny for me not share:

Namor: *making a giant mural of him and Shuri like a teenager puts names in hearts*

Namor: *patiently waiting for Wakanda to call him*

Namor: *putting on his best outfit for a meeting with Wakanda's council so he'll look good in front of Shuri*

Namor: *dramatically walks out of the water of Wakanda's river*

M'Baku: fish-man! Welcome. I am King M'Baku of Wakanda-

Namor, who's literally counted down the days till he could meet Shuri again: wait what

I just want to thank wakanda forever for reigniting my violent hatred for the spanish empire.

and while we're on the subject of colonization: everyone's always talking about the british but let's not forget the spanish, french, portuguese, dutch, and belgians also fucked up multiple continents, wiped out multiple cultures and languages, and enslaved natives all over the world.

I am somewhat satisfied with the ending (except doil injoo not being the endgame lets talk about that later) but there are few things i wished to see differently.

1. ⁠The villain takedown was not satisfactory. I was left confused about the dynamics between sangah & jaesang. His character was definitely much more than just killing himself at one order of his wife. Especially when did see him overpowering her in the past. Also, I wanted a more painful end for Sangah.

2. ⁠The functioning of Jeongran Society. I was left confused whether the other members were aware of Sangah killing people in the name of the society? We do know that her dad was actively involved in murders but they dealt with it poorly considering they focused so much on it in the beginning. I was confused whether it was an actual foundation to help underprivileged children & then kill them off once they were no longer useful? Like how & why? I was strangely very much interested in the cult so imagine my disappointment that they didn’t clear these things.

3. ⁠Romanticising Hwayoung’s actions: unpopular opinion but hwayoung isn’t the hero the drama made her out to be. she intentionally dragged injoo into this mess by giving her the money. her happiness my foot. she ain’t dumb to not know what she was putting injoo into while living lavishly herself in singapore. She intentionally dragged Injoo in all the mess & gets away with only a sorry? just because she saved her life in Singapore when she was the reason why Injoo landed in danger in first place. I still don’t get her motives. if she indeed cared about injoo then she wouldn’t have given her the money at first place knowing how sangah has been grooming injoo using her. she would’ve sent injoo far away from anything related to sangah. they want us to feel bad for her? she used injoo’s naivety as well for her own benefits just like others. & the fact that she actually hired an innocent person to get killed in her place is so damn fkd up. all this just for a revenge? i am glad doil wasn’t involved in her plans because i had a theory that they were working together to bring down sangah. still mad that injoo forgave her just like that because she saved her life in singapore but not even a thank you to doil when he has protected her at each & every step 😭

4. ⁠Doil’s closure with his family. I know the story wasn’t about him but just a scene with him & his parents wouldn’t have hurt. Especially when his life was directly impacted by the evils of Jeongran Society. I wanted to know how he & his mom survived the accident? What happened to his dad? Argh if only.

5. ⁠Hyorin’s reaction to her parents’ death. No matter how evil they were, jaesang & sangah were still her parents & they should’ve shown atleast one reaction from her. Ah well.

6. ⁠One scene with the Oh sisters together in their new apartment. They should have given us atleast a reunion of them being happy together one last time.

All in all it was a fun watch. The screenplay was engaging with beautiful cinematography & great acting from everyone. I still think they needed 2 more episodes to wrap up things in a more convincing manner. 8/10 for me (deducting one point for the above mentioned reasons & one for no doil-injoo endgame)

there's something about these kind of couples, you know where the show is not really about THEM, but THEY (the couple) make it about THEM. it's like, there's barely any existent romance, but im so here for THE romance, if that makes any sense...

it's like more thrilling and interesting than any other cheesy rom-com, idk what it is but there's something about these kind of ships, you know, they're so mesmerizing, you just can't help but get invested.

this is me talking about IN-JU and IL-DO from little women, btw if you're not watching it you better start because this drama is so freaking good and this ship is so interesting and the cast is doing one hella of a job. also the writing is amazing so far. you'll find yourself in this show, one way or the other.

I keep thinking about Woo Young-woo's mother, Tae Su-mi and the choice she made.

The drama hasn't told us anything from her perspective yet, but there are some indisputable facts and some likely possibilities.

She was in her early 20s, a promising student with a bright career in law ahead. She fell in love and got pregnant and suddenly her whole future looked dark. She was considering abortion, but at the desperate pleas of the man she loved, she agreed to go through with the pregnancy. She stayed at home for 9 months, risked her reputation and her life to give birth in a home where she must have faced constant hostility from her parents, and then gave the child up.

I have nothing but admiration for this woman.

She didn't have to go through the pregnancy. She didn't have to take a long leave from school causing rumours to arise which followed her around for decades. She didn't have to stay stuck at home for so many months, in a likely cold household where she would have faced immense pressures to abort the child.

From Young-woo's perspective, her mother abandoned her and that's a fact too.

But I can't see Tae Su-mi as the villain when she clearly went through an extremely painful period of mourning for giving Young-woo up. It seems clear to me that she only decided to keep the child because she knew she could trust Young-woo's dad to raise her well.

And while I absolutely love Woo Gwang-ho, Dad, I can't see him as a valiant hero.

He gave up his career and made his own life extremely hard. Then he made Young-woo the center of his existence to the point where he thinks he has the right to decide whether or not his Junior can use his daughter to needle her mother.

"You can do it just once! I will permit it once!" he tells the woman, as if hurting Tae Su-mi is a justifiable action and using Young-woo as the weapon is an acceptable price to him.

But Young-woo isn't his possession.

And Tae Su-mi isn't a villain for choosing not to be with this man.

I really do love Dad for how wonderful he is with Young-woo, but he did make that story way too much about himself.
