The architects drawings.....so if you get into Dohoe's space his lie is there in plain view.......he wants to be found out, he *needs* to be found out.....

Sorry, got to say it, those matching PJ's are hideous.......

Nope, not ready......

I said I wanted to work out the point at which Haruto fell....having re watched the first 6 episodes I don't think it was a single moment, he essentially scammed himself.

I think the first courtroom scene was part of his shift. He didn't realise it at the time, but he genuinely did think Ryoma was cool and in control. I think he began to admire him. When they go camping for the first time and he confesses I think he's still playing the game - consciously he is still playing the con, but subconsciously he is already ensnared in a trap of his own making. Being useful to Royma is part of the scam, but I think Haruto actually starts to get a really kick out of being useful to Royma, in helping him to win. He reads the law books, he feeds Royma delicious food and looks after him. By the time he turns up, clean clothes and food to sustain his man, he's down bad.... Because Royma IS clumsy and delicate and a handful, and clever and cool and actual treats Haruto well..... It's a heady combination....

A reminder

This FB post by Rebecca Solnit is the thing keeping me sane this morning,so I’m sharing it here in case it helps you all, too:

“They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving. You may need to grieve or scream or take time off, but you have a role no matter what, and right now good friends and good principles are worth gathering in. Remember what you love. Remember what loves you. Remember in this tide of hate what love is. The pain you feel is because of what you love.

The Wobblies used to say don't mourn, organize, but you can do both at once and you don't have to organize right away in this moment of furious mourning. You can be heartbroken or furious or both at once; you can scream in your car or on a cliff; you can also get up tomorrow and water the flowerpots and call someone who's upset and check your equipment for going onward.

A lot of us are going to come under direct attack, and a lot of us are going to resist by building solidarity and sanctuary. Gather up your resources, the metaphysical ones that are heart and soul and care, as well as the practical ones.

People kept the faith in the dictatorships of South America in the 1970s and 1980s, in the East Bloc countries and the USSR, women are protesting right now in Iran and people there are writing poetry. There is no alternative to persevering, and that does not require you to feel good. You can keep walking whether it's sunny or raining. Take care of yourself and remember that taking care of something else is an important part of taking care of yourself, because you are interwoven with the ten trillion things in this single garment of destiny that has been stained and torn, but is still being woven and mended and washed.”

Re watching the early episodes on Netflix (just because I can) and the actor playing Ryo is amazing. His face is impassive but his body betrays him every time and it's peak comedy. When he slumps against the door when he realises the succulents have betrayed him? - it's everything. So early on some said they couldn't understand why Haruto fell for him? But it's all there clumsy, a handful, cool, sexy.....he IS the complete package.....AND he's ripped!!!!!

I want to pinpoint the moment Haruto falls...

[notafanbut]

Lovely episode with our overly protective Ryo! I missed the succulents but will take Ryo speaking English describing Haruto - wonderful......

Revenge plot - bring it on......

So I started working again today, and me and my coworker had to squeeze lemons which usually is a really un fun job but TODAY. We had the mostly lovely batch of lemons to work with. So we rated how smoothly they cut and how nice the insides of them looked for about an hour. An absolutely marvelous time I gotta say

[notafanbut]

I want them to be together, but two episodes? And the gulf seems too wide. So ambiguous ending is the best I think.... They start a road which is not currently happy every after....

[notafanbut]

I'd vote for this....

You should be able to rot in bed for 2, maybe 3 hours after waking up before it starts affecting what time it is. If I wake up at 8:30 and lie in bed for 2hr it should still be 8:30 when I get up

Ryo's grumpy little face and yet so cute.... You can almost see him thinking 'I'm only doing this because it's you'

Hello to these two and these two only

[notafanbut]

What does HH have on Dohoe? Did HH help Dohoe somehow? Did he help him escape? Or was Dohoe turning up at uni with no right to be there and HH knew and covered for him? I think at this stage we all suspect Dohoe did not graduate university, that it is all a lie, and somehow HH is involved.

So Dohoe has had to keep HH close, but he's not interested, he tolerates because he HAS to, it's just another form of abuse piled on him. He has escaped nothing, he has just entangled himself deeper in his attempts to escape.

---------

Ep5 at the gym - a perfect depiction of PTSD, how what is apparently mundane and ordinary can trigger a massive response. In that scene where he shows up he relives every single moment, you can see him wanting to turn and run...... And Juyeong, despite the abuse that happened there (and it was for a shorter time) does not have the same response. Fear response 'fight or flight' and these two represent each of those positions, but neither is totally viable in the long run.....

8 episodes? HOW can this ONLY have 8 episodes!?

Nailed it ...
