After quite a long drought/slump with regard to shows/dramas, I managed to have a few weeks of bingeing - minus some episodes here and there - fun, and had enjoyed the “Mentalist” and “The Good Detective S1” (both in the police procedural/crime genre) for what they were. Both were good in their own ways, and I especially appreciated “The Mentalist” for wrapping up most of their storylines and character arcs in a nice little package! We even got a beautiful “romance” with an HEA! That is the dream, truly!
However, while watching TGD, I began missing Kang Gil Young again (I always miss her but some periods are more desperate than others).
Making my way through “Through the Darkness” (another KDrama crime procedural) now, the lack - of Kang Gil Young - remains keenly felt. So I rewatched a favourite segment from TG again, and so many feels came rushing back. And reminded me of the reasons I love the show and Kang Gil Young above so many others.
The show was so blunt and straightforward with most of its significant emotional beats that I could not help but fall in love with it (over and over again). The punches KGY threw at YHP (foreshadowed and expected) was such a stunning moment! I still hold my breath every time I rewatched that scene. The catharsis was simply, indisputably gorgeous!
TG is still flawed despite its fabulousness but it will forever be perfect in my heart ❤️‍🔥 (and Kang Gil Young the King and Queen of my heart, always❣️)
