Bearing Weight

T; 2.2k Woo Bin & Ji Hoo

Woo Bin would do anything for his friends - for any of them. If all he can do is be there, and try to pry Ji Hoo out of his own head . . . well, that's what he's there for. Whether Ji Hoo really wants to allow support or not.

Post-canon-ish (post Jun Pyo/Jan Di's wedding), I originally wrote this for a randomly rolled prompt word (image) in . . . April 2015. And then rewrote it (including cutting a second scene that was 1.8k) in September 2023.

I may have half forgotten about it in Whumptober 2023, and then just went well there's no specific timeframe and let it slide sitting around. >.> Oops.

{BOYS OVER FLOWERS}

Warning: Unpopular Opinion

I hear things like:

Ji hoo was better,

jihoo suited jandi,

Ji hoo and jandi had a meaningful bond

blah blah blah

now i want real talk.

Why tf was Ji hoo given more screentime?

You blink, Ji hoo is onscreen.

Jihoo breathe, the romantic bgm starts playing for jihoo-jandi

Jandi is sad Jihoo appears

Jandi is happy, Jihoo appears

Jandi thinks of junpyo, jihoo appears

Jandi exists, ji hoo appears.

all this, and totally not in a cute way. he was given more screentime, better story, better scenes, better romance, better background story, better everything. (except the hairstyle. it was ugly asf). but the question is.. WHY?

Why was the main male character totally sidelined in his OWN show?

Yes. I am questioning the writers and makers of this show.

Jandi-Junpyo barely had romantic scenes, bonding through understanding scenes and every other thing... all of it was given to the second lead. There was no proper introduction to junpyo's childhood and background story like it was for ji hoo.

The FL spends 80% of her time in the show with second lead and people wonder why alot of people can't connect with junpyo-jandi's chemistry.

I still am traumatized with those scenes where The FL again n again breaks ML's heart, betrays him, and treat him as if he isn't important and he is just playing around with her. ML literally spends his time with her family, tries to make her feel special, is thoughtful about her feelings and family issues, gives her the space she needs and even though he was an asshole first but later it was jandi herself who accepted his approach and didn't deny him... then goes to sml.. then again realizes and still doesnt acknowledges ML's feelings and his efforts , he literally puts his efforts to make her happy and to be with her and she says "i guess he is TRYING"

even till the last episode, unnecessarily, sml was still around. after 14-15 episodes, he just became a nuisance cuz if they are not gonna end up together or jandi has fell for junpyo and junpyo being the main character... WHY WAS JIHOO TAKING SO MUCH SCREEN TIME???

Okay now i am just ranting but my point is.. was it the writers plan? was ji hoo the one who was the ml? why tf would the writers do that?

people like ji hoo because his character was given more screentime, depth, meaning, understanding for the viewers.. and still jun pyo overshadowed.

like,, i still can't believe this is a 25 episode drama . maybe it is longer but they later edited it out for 25 episodes? the sidelining of literally the main character is so fucking terrible . i feel so sorry for lee minho.. but so happy that his talent was recognised with this show.

Maybe the jihoo actor was more famous back then? idk what it is about him that made writers/makers do that but all i can say is the whole jihoo plot, his story, bond with jandi and his unnecessarily too much screentine was a nuisance. Totally annoying. i literally had to skip some scenes and watch it after i ended the drama, and still his scenes hold no value. and still kinda confused why junpyo was done dirty like that.

ps: I literally can't hate Gu Jun Pyo after watching this show. No matter how many people say he was toxic and a red flag.. it is jun pyo you will feel bad for cuz it was not ONLY junpyo who was toxic. Jandi, ji hoo were major red flags too.

I've started watching boys over flowers, and I feel both the deepest love and the worst hate for this show. Or not hate. I just get so much second hand embarrassment. And the female lead can be a bit cringe at times. But thats okay, we're all a bit cringe sometimes. Maybe not that much, but still.

I don't find the boys that pretty, but I feel them growing on me. But Ji-hoo's hair? Like what? It's so long, and red. And you can kinda see his facial hair. It feels weird. I think Jun-pyo is handsome overall, but again, that hair. Idk if that was fashionable in the 2000s, but it's a bit odd. I get that you want to keep it similar to the source material, but that hairdo is a bit extreme.

It's very toxic and pick me, but I live for that shit. Those tropes are the thing that get me out of bed every morning. It's wrong, but I don't really care. I love seeing a poor (she's not that poor, (i think?)) interacting with upper society. And Jun-pyo's toxic behaviour. Him having so much hubris. Him just grabbig Jan-di. AHHHHH.

The thing I really wanted to write about was the soundtrack. It's SO GOOD! I know some K-pop, but I've never listened to older stuff. It fits well with the vibe of the show. I've listened to "because I'm stupid" on repeat, and it makes me feel so much. The emotions!?! And the lyrics?!? I really love it!

Ayy its my second save in Stardew, his name is Ji-hoo and he’s a retired office worker who went back to Stardew. He’s also a mage in practice and unexpectedly caught the attention of a certain redhead first slash hehee 👹👹.

(His safe started off as a joke cause I saw people shitting on the yellow car 👹 in starchew and I was like what if I make a safe just for the car and now he became a full fledged character im crying)

[myfavouriteformofblurting]

Yoon Ji Hoo is an autistic introvert who doesn't mind being less social and coming across as odd whereas Gu Jun Pyo is an extroverted autist who gets very easily frustrated that social interactions don't go as planned change my mind

what is it with all of these married DILFs showing up in heavily queer coded roles recently. why did God tell them to do that for me

[citruscloudsandmoon]

So I finally finished watching Healer and I can't believe I slept on it! Because it's actually so good?!! Like WHA!!!!! 😭😍😭

But then again, you can't blame me, considering it was aired in year 2015 👀 and I only started watching k-dramas from last year. So there's that too 🌝

I guess I kinda owe thanks to 'Marry my husband' and 'Welcome to Samdal-ri'. Because when I was looking up for new content to watch I saw Min young and Ji-chang names in the cast and was like 'Hey! I know them! I have seen their dramas recently!' So thank you MMH and WTS 🥹💛

As for Healer, yup you are right; I am going to watch it again 🙈 still not over the feels it give me in each and every episode, ranging from happiness to angst to fluffiness 😍🤩

I won't be lying but I was a bit disappointed with the way they ended the last episode. Too much stuff crammed in it and still some questions were left unanswered.

But oh well, such is life 🥲 you don't get everything ( I would have like them to see them get married)

There's now one more thing to do *cracking my wrists*; time to write fanfics of my new otp 🙈✊

Fault

Written for @whumptober Day 9! (theme: “Learning everything ain't what it seems, that's the thing about these days.” prompt 2: Mistaken Identity prompt 3: “You’re a liar.”)

T; 1.8k Ji Hoo/Jun Pyo, F4, Jun Hee

When Jun Pyo wakes in the hospital, there are two things he wants understood - about the strange girl who insists on being present despite their last conversation having been very clear, and his beloved friend whose fault it is absolutely not that he's here at all.
