#ds might be the one who always see jw first but jw will keep on looking at him from now on

[woodohwanedandproud]

OP tags: #important jwds first glance at each other moments #no but seriously jw really does make a lot of life-altering decisions the moment he lays eyes on ds #okay fine 1st and last gifs they aren't looking at each other but that's deliberate #it basically 'tells the story' of how jw didn't SEE ds for who he really is at the beginning but now he does #he SEES ds and he loves ds for who he is #he loves ds for all his flaws and pains and sadness #and y'all know how much i love ships that are enemies who see each other and love one another bcs of the flaws and pain and darkness #also ds is always always the one who's looking first (except mb the whole of the fishing scene) except the last gif which is just #jw looking and looking and looking #ds might be the one who always see jw first but jw will keep on looking at him from now on #he sees ds he loves ds he will keep on looking and loving and choosing to love ds #love isn't a fact. it's a hunch at first. and then later it's a series of decisions. a lifetime of decisions. that's love. #i choose you out of billions of people i choose you. we got it down to two people. i choose you. #and in the fishing scene jw sees ds first (from the back) but it was ds who realllllllly SEES jw and his intention when he turns toward jw

🌺 ☺️ 👀?

Ahhhhh a BE ask?? For me??? Thank you! 💗

And sorry for the upcoming ramble lakjdfljksf i go crazy for them

From this lovely ask

☺️ A character you wish was explored more

This is actually a tie between Jae Yi and Yu Yeon for me, it's so hard to choose.

Jae Yi because she's the love of my life light of my life, and her recovery process in the 2nd part of the series I feel was a bit rushed/ambiguous in favor of, well, *gesture vaguely at the rest of the plot*. Especially since the first half of the show established her in such a strong compare/contrast position to Dong Sik's grief. I want to see if my baby actually did return from Busan, if she still longs to leave to find her own life, or has she found what is worth building for back here, in the butcher shop, on her own term in her own words this time. I wish the show addressed that part a bit more.

For Yu Yeon I feel like it's a bit of a missed opportunity to have her and Dong Sik be twins and not go buckwild on the haunting, the presence that stretches and reaches, the severed connection, traces of her that linger through him, how he both tries to remember and not think about her (that flashback about the ring that he gave her! That was so good! I cried, sibling tragedy is my jam! But there's only the one scene!). I'm sort of interpreting the show's message as it is as the Absence, like you feel the pain through What Is Not There, and also as the Uncertainty of her disappearance, the incapacity for DS and everyone else to move on: should they speak about her as if she'll be back soon, or as if she's forever gone for good? That's also nice! But, because the show revolves itself around these missing women, I can't help but wish for more exploration of their personhood, even symbolically through Yu Yeon.

🌺 Where are your favourite character(s) going next?

Ohh, tough quesh! Especially since the talented folks in the fandom have already written hundreds of post-canon getting-together goodness for JWDS. My vision is a slow romance, maybe probably dancing that water between QPR and romantic, but being undeniably a package deal and always loyal & affectionate toward each other. And DS can finally experience the peaceful time in his life, even if the shadows aren't quite gone. And JW can have career fulfillment finding & helping missing people in whichever way he can, that it's a source of satisfaction instead of a constant reminder of his guilt. That's my happily-ever-after for them.

(Might I also throw my ace Joo Won headcanon here? In my head he's a sap and loves hugs and the intense touches that are on-brand for JWDS, but he's also sex-repulsed. I cry happy tears whenever I see him being explicitly written as ace, I can't get enough of it. Mad respect for the horny JWDS content tho, you guys are great - I love watching everyone enjoy it even if i don't engage w it)

For Jae Yi I already said a bit above! But yeah, I hope she can go wherever she wants, try out whatever future she likes - maybe she'll travel a bit, keeping in touch with Manyang all the same. And maybe she will comeback to the butcher shop or not, but if she does, I hope she will finally make the shop her own, adding decorations, experiment w the menus, change around, make a mess, be happy, etc. You go girl! Do what you want!

👀 What would you like to see if they did a season 2?

If i have it my way season 2 would just be a slow romcom (with a basket of angst because that's who I am) with same title, same font, same color palette & poster style and no explanation LOL. You get a closure, you get a closure, everyone gets a closure.

But in a more serious tone, I don't long for a season 2, I think the show as it is is pretty much completed, but if that ever happens hm... I would like to see the theme of "Beyond Evil"/"Monster" explored through different premises, but not necessarily with the same cast. There are some themes that I think were under-explored in the show as it is (ableism, the so-called loopholes in the laws, etc.), so if they move on from the "missing adults" premise and tackle those topics as a central theme this time, that'd be a thoughtful continuation that I'd like to follow. It's hard to say!
