Inguk x Jaehyun (characters) // All The Way ('There is No Goodbye Song that Will Suit Me')

[seonghwacore]

let me cook. (an unexpectedly thanksgiving full course)

tagging @ye-xiu and @lavandulacosmos idk if you wanna read my brainrot but pls give it a chance im coping so bad 😭

i've read several theories surrounding k.will's mv, which i don't like the ending at all fck u screenwriter. but i noticed this one so let me, boil it to perfection.

my theory abt the wristwatch in "no sad song for my broken heart" is more simple yet symbolic. it didn't imply time travel or a scifi plot but more of the story's timeline? i assume, the wristwatch in the mv wasn't functioning as an individual's possession but more like a way to tell us when their time stopped. like, how our life stopped in 2019 for some of us?

in the beginning of the mv, the scene showed a broken wristwatch with the year function set to number "12" and the hands pointing to "10:11". the hand was clearly inguk's.

while i know this is please, don't mv release date, as the please don't mv enjoyers, i immediately understood that this was when inguk's time stopped. when jaehyun married dasom in the mv, he knew there'd be no more chance for him to pursue jaehyun or even simply, to tell him his true feelings. he drove away silently back then, not saying a word. this is why his time stopped in 2012.

meanwhile, at the end of the mv, the scene showed that the wristwatch was perfectly fine, no scratch, was brand new, and was encircling jaehyun's wrist instead. the year was "24" and the watch's hands were pointing at 06:20. WHICH WAS, YESTERDAY IN MY TIME OR STILL TODAY IN THE OTHER PART OF THE WORLD.

again, that was a symbol to the mv's release date. BUT WHOSE TIME ALSO ENDED THAT DAY?

HIM.

"then it's just symbolizing inguk's end of time then 🤨" well, whose hand was that wristwatch on? it's on jaehyun's wrist. following the logic from the first scene, then it's most possible that the wristwatch symbolized jaehyun's "time". tragically, jaehyun seemed to understand his feelings towards the other man very much later. he had no time to fully develop and understand his feelings towards inguk and of course, a chance to be with him.

(gahd i planned to stop here but i was seeing everything suddenly)

the row of happy scenes, to me, was more like his delusion and regrets. things he could and would do if only inguk reconnected with him. im not sure tho how he finally realized his feelings but MAYBE, this was the reason of his "mv divorce". maybe, they were still in contact but was obviously limited. in another universe, we'd get the answer, guys.

exhibit #1: he would stay connected with inguk, shown by this exchanging number scene. literally fck u scriptwriters for making grown ass dude crying

maybe they were just, like, linked in acquaintances just sent e/o happy birthday or congratulate each other for promotions asjdalsd

exhibit #2: he'd want to update him that he's already divorced.

LOOK AT BRO'S SMILE??????? in jaehyun's mind, if he announced the news to inguk, he would've gone full smile like that. and he wanted to see that.

exhibit #3: he'd reconcile, have a hearty conversation with inguk over drinks, reliving their fun bachelor nights and obviously, take care of him.

(maybe this was how inguk died???)

now, this is a bit hard but, exhibit #4: he imagined that they'd go into this awkward, pining moments, wondering if inguk would still have a crush on him.

this part was actually confusing because he opened his eyes, as if he knew something. but what did he know? what did he expect from inguk? or did he begin to realize that this was all just his delusion?

NOW. this is going a bit longer than i thought i didn't mean to do a full analysis gosh but this is even crazier to think about. when inguk said his line, about saying things he couldn't say and whether he could hug him just once. this line is weird tbh but eventually makes sense.

we backtrack to these scenes first.

after getting his phone, jaehyun's calling him to make sure it's the correct number. but why inguk seemed... rather worried? again, following my logic with the wristwatch, the phone was just a symbol. jaehyun was holding onto inguk AND his soul. then, how does this relate to inguk's worried face?

we're entering the afterlife realm.

starting from this scene. there's a belief that butterfly in association with death is a messenger from the passing loved ones. in some k-dramas, noticeably "goblin", butterfly represented gods or the supreme being. the butterfly in this scene symbolized that inguk already passed away. it's his time to go.

however, jaehyun "found" him and even asked for his number. so, when the call "connected" it meant jaehyun had yet, once again, clung on his memories and soul. in some cultures, and again there's a k-drama reference that's "sell your haunted house", sometimes the family of the dying person will be asked to let the person go. in the sell your haunted house, hong jia's refusal to let go of her trauma locked her mother's powerful ghost in her house.

guess who's locked in their "house" as well?

and he's wearing white outfit as well, which is often believed to be your afterlife mandatory outfit color. then inguk "called" jaehyun, in a hope, he could wake jaehyun up and let him go. so, the sequence of happiness began.

so, inguk's expression was rather worried when jaehyun called him instead of overjoyed. because he didn't want jaehyun to be stuck in his regrets and delusion.

now, back to this scene.

this was probably inguk's last straw. the scene reminded me of "it's okay it's love" where jo insung gave do kyungsoo's shoes. the act was done to let go of his hallucination from his childhood trauma.

inguk, telling jaehyun how he actually felt and did it through a physical hug, was like an act of letting go. and he hoped that jaehyun's mind would be more at ease now that jaehyun had known his feelings and jaehyun had understood HIS OWN feelings. he hoped that the hug could finally calm jaehyun's storm so jaehyun could be at peace with his own regrets.

then, inguk proceeded to leave because he had to. leave to the afterlife. but after fighting his own struggle, jaehyun called him again. shouted even.

HE RUSHED BACK but jaehyun was stupefied. and the scene later showed that jaehyun was alone in the tunnel.

my big assumption was inguk rushing back to him was also jaehyun's desired response, that inguk would come back to him every time he called. he did, but i think, inguk's death was related to the tunnel or the train. so, when inguk rushed back to him, the train passed by above him with the alarm sound, and jaehyun woke up from his hallucination alone.

a wilder theory is the train was a symbol that it's time for inguk to really go. it served as a "transportation" to the afterlife. that's why inguk wasn't seen anymore after that.

the rest is history.

kidding, we still have this. this time, the scene showed that jaehyun didn't call inguk.

the road, the terrain, elevating to a certain degree, somehow looked like as if he's going to a higher place. and he's not stopping. he kept going, not turning back. so, that's when jaehyun realized, he really needed to let inguk go and rest in peace.

my madness shall end here.

[andaniellight]

"oh it's a different timeline" "this is an alternate universe isn't it" "they're both still alive because he managed to turn back time but they don't become friends in this one in order to keep it that way" all cool, all neat. all theories are neat and cool. personally tho i am mostly, thoroughly devastated by what's shown from ahn jae hyun's perspective. his character is just as destroyed as seo in guk's by his own chosen options. he knew in guk loved him and he did love him too, but he just didn't know what to do about it. there's nothing he could do about it until the watch is no longer on his dearest friend's wrist, but on his, repaired anew yet non-belonging. the memories are with him and him alone now, he is no longer denying nor making peace because, if he does both or just either one, it means he is letting go of the man who could love him more than life itself

Just watched the new K.Will video for No Sad Song For My Broken Heart and had a mini-breakdown to my co-workers who saw my reaction to it 😂🥺🤯😭💔

I was not expecting that! What a video! 🥺🥺🥺

Watch this first:

Part 2 (CC button for English subtitles):

[alldramanosleep]

So in the beginning of the music video the watch is broken and presumably Seo Inguk’s character is wearing it. At the end of the video Ahn Jaehyun’s character is wearing it, but its not broken… have I watched too much Lovely Runner or should we hope for a time travel fix it video?

1116/∞: K.Will - No Sad Song For My Broken Heart

This post series contains all sorts of songs that I would love to share with you. Previous posts you can find here

[goawaywithjae]

K.will's latest music video is a stunner that explores tragic, unrequited love. Seo In-guk and Ahn Jae-hyeon reunite after 12 years for this video, which continues K.will's 2012 video "Please Don't."

[dropthedemiurge]

No Sad Song For My Broken Heart (Please Don't pt.2) // K.Will MV spoilers!!

I can't believe we have been told the twist since the very first seconds. It sucks when you are aware of visual storytelling and you notice broken watch and black suits, then strange feeling creeps in because you don't see photo at funeral, then you notice a random butterfly AND you also know K.Will loves twists and sad songs but you keep lying to yourself till the very end 😭

So from what I gathered in MV, the summary of their continued story: Jaehyun got divorced (him showing empty finger like the reference to Please Don't!), Inguk who kept his distance was happy to get close to him again. They hang out together, enjoying each other's company. But still, he was barely able to hold his feelings in, quietly suffering on his own (the desire to kiss, I wonder why we weren't shown him actually trying to kiss Jaehyun like in the teaser). Jaehyun noticed and realized Inguk's feelings for him but couldn't do anything as Inguk got into accident. And now Jaehyun is the one with unrequited love, as he wears Inguk's watch, misses and thinks about him all the time.

Some more details hinted throughout the video:

"Butterflies represent the soul of a human who died and is on their way to the afterlife. They are a reminder that although your loved one is no longer physically present, they are still always with you and watching over you." Inguk's soul is watching over sad Jaehyun, but he still hides because they cannot interact.

Inguk character's watch was shown broken, because his time has stopped. Jaehyun's is still going – but it's Inguk's watch he wears (did he repair them so he could have a memory about him?).

I do believe the hug has happened, it feels like Inguk couldn't bear unrequited feelings anymore, as he says (not translated in subtitles):

"There is something I couldn't tell you... Can I hug you just once?"

After the desperate hug, he walks away, and Jaehyun shouts after him. Inguk stops, turns and returns back to Jaehyun... the continuation of which we don't see because the shot of teary-eyes Jaehyun from the tunnel cuts off to the same shot of him at Inguk's funeral.

Which makes me think – maybe Jaehyun returns to that tunnel alone because he feels guilty for not shouting, not stopping Inguk that day after the sudden hug? Since that's exactly when the memory/imagination cuts off back to funeral. Because right when Jaehyun realized and should have faced Inguk's feelings for him, if he didn't stop him, Inguk soon died in an accident without any hope.

And the MV ends on the black screen and Jaehyun whispering: "I miss you... (I want to see you...)"

So in the end, Jaehyun is the one alone, suffering from unrequited feelings because the person he realizes he's missing very much and might have feelings for, is now unreachable.

Which makes it a perfect second part of the sad gay story, full of parallels and symbols, and a perfect K.Will's song and another perfect heartbreak for all of us :')

There is indeed no goodbye song/sad song that can suit this type of broken heart...

P.S. I now need the God aka K.Will to put them all into Love for Love's Sake world to give them their happy ending afterlife, we can't end like this!xD
