"Even if my feelings for you make me insignificant and weak, you are my fate that I cannot defy." My Demon (2023 - 2024), dir. Kim Jang Han

[dramashii]

I didn't want it to stop. On the day you first came to me I didn't want you to be the rain that soaks me wet only momentarily. I've prayed so hard. Do you know how I feel? I've dreamt of you every day. -Lyrics from the song Shower sang by Ryu Seon Jae

LOVELY RUNNER (2024) | Ep 2

[dramastream]

He should not have come back. He was in grave danger. He said he didn't get to meet a lot of people. And because of that, he wasn't good at joking or socializing, but it was all from his heart. Everything he said was from his heart. No, that's not exactly right. It was actually… because… he loved me.

Inho once believed love would be burning red but it's gihun golden ✨

what made me fell in love with this scene is how yong-pil surrendered himself to his emotions, how he had always felt about samdal-ri. he just wants to savor that moment while he can.

Faithful Lovers

This scene has become one of my favourite things to exist.

I love this scene for the rawness and openess of conversation. It's both of them telling each other with so much conviction why they need the other to see their perspective. It's vulnerable, it's beautifully done, it's art.

The pain in the hug is so palpable but so is the comfort. It's so hard to see her trying to add distance between them - before Hyunwoo pulls her into his embrace - cause she can.not.be.swayed.by.him. Does Hyunwoo apologise for putting her in a situation like this? For not realising just how much she has to lose? Or for being selfish begging her to say yes to this surgery?

Don’t do this to me. Don’t make me want to live. I won't be able to recognize you. I'll become a stranger.

First things first, thank you Kim Jiwon for that delivery. It killed me emotionally, made me cry and want to hug you even more. Protect this beautiful smoll bean at all costs.

Notice how one of the major things that keeps breaking her resolve is him. His love. His understanding. His physical being. Yet the only thing stopping her from living is also him . His memories. His love. Him.

When he tries to convince her that she will fall in love with him again her little head shake says 'But it won't be the same.' I love how it isn't written off as Oh I know I'll be able to love you. She has doubts. So many of them. I think just the idea that she could wake up and lose her ability to love him is unbearable to her. What if she can't love with the same intensity? Not feel what she feels right this moment? What if she looks into his eyes after the surgery and feels like she would rather forget him than die? Haein knows how much Hyunwoo's put into ensuring she lives yet she rather experience that love than throw it all away on a chance.

But Hyunwoo is defiant. He's not taking no for an answer. He can't anymore. He hates that she won't listen to him. That she's having doubts. Isn't it common sense? He'll be there. They'll figure it all out. She'll be alive. It's such an interesting and logical perspective to have 'as long as there is life anything can happen.' because once she's dead that's it.. it's the end. But if she's alive, the possibility and capacity of love still exists.

Even if you don't fall for me, ignore me or dislike me I'll still be there for you through it all. Why doesn't this kid understand that's exactly why she can't agree to it. She can't bear the possibility of that happening.

I think Hyunwoo shines when he says 'I made a promise. That I'd be by your side even if there's a debt or something more. So don't worry and just stay here please.'

Notice how this is directly in contrast with what she says right at the beginning 'We make promises in good times thinking they'll never end.' But Hyunwoo remembers and he's willing to be there through it all.

Don't pray about dying. I'm terrified it'll come true.

She's praying to die. Let that sink in. For a man who believes enough to pray for her to be saved, when her death is so imminent - almost a fact, this is indeed terrifying. I feel his fear and pain. Good grief, she's praying to die when there's such a big possibility of exactly that. She accepted her fate and he's willing to fight tooth and nail to change it. It's a tesimtiment to how many times he's spent thinking of a life without her. He's convincing her to rid of their memories. I know he's aware of exactly what it means. The chances they're taking but the idea of not seeing her again is so unbearable for him.

I love Haein's strong mindedness. She didn't budge. Her last look for me read 'I get it. I get it all but just no. I can't lose you. Please don't cry and make this harder. Don't make me want to live.' and with that she hardens her heart as she steps away and takes her hand from him.

While this man, ouff this man. Can we take a moment to appreciate the sheer desperation on his face. After she signals no again he's so helpless. 'Please, please see me and live, if only for me. I cannot fathom this earth without you.' Seriously, we all need to take a minute to appreciate his desperation throughout this scene. The woman that he loves, his ideal women won't agree to stay alive because she loves him too deeply. Just writing this hurts me.

It's interesting this scene works because by now we know where they both stand in this episode. For me, the reason this scene shines is the vulnerability - the two of them having this extremely open and confrontational confession. When scenes like this are executed and written well it creates everlasting frames like this.

Also they both suck at praying. If you're praying just pray to keep her alive and keep her memories intact. Why are they picking and choosing? It's not like God has a limit to what he can do. Truly nonsense prayers from both of them. 🙃

It knows how to give the best tropes!

This drama is the BEST bodyguard romance tropes imaginable!!!

PS Indeed!!!!

I honestly have no deep thoughts - my head has been emptied to make room for all the cliche tastiness.

[seodongjae]

does it taste good? you fired me and refused to pay me, and now you're drinking here? i shared the burden of hardship, but you benefitted from it. these days, bad guys live well and sleep easy. what kind of shit is that? don't you think? ahjussi?

May I just express my absolute love and adoration for the way Ahn Pan Seok directs his shows?

How he creates sets that are very lived in and just sets his actors loose to just BE in them? So there's no real blocking to speak of and actions take time? Like that scene in One Spring Night where a character is waiting for extras to exit the elevator, but it closes on her as she pushes the cart in and her coworker has to push the door open button. Or the moment in The Midnight Romance in Hagwon when a character is fumbling her way through her house at night to turn on a light. Or that moment in One Spring Night where characters are talking while eating and one of them grabs tissues to wipe his mouth as he keeps up the conversation. Those aren't scripted moments, they're just actors being told to treat the set like real life. AND THEY DO. And then he does not edit those moments away in post! It creates a very atmospheric, lived in style.

And how he insists on getting scenes done in single takes with multiple cameras rolling rather than recording all character A's lines, then all of character B's lines? It just makes it feel very organic and real because the actors can really play off each other, build tension, and develop tangible chemistry that's not reliant on camera tricks. It's why they're all very explosive onscreen, regardless of the subject matter. I mean, Secret Love Affair had me rooting for adultery and sympathizing with a criminal. Because they felt real.

People bandy around the phrase "slice of life" to describe genre conventions, but Ahn Pan Seok has mastered the art of making dramas feel like actual slices of actual lives.

in the rain

bang chan x g/n reader

notes: uh, i wrote this maybe two years ago and i’m cringing bad TT

@iovemeorleaveme 🖤 @iovemeorleaveme

Y/N curled up on the couch, watching their phone, a k-drama playing in the background. "Y/N- pay attention, the good part's coming up!" Han nudged Y/N. They looked up at the screen as the two actors leaned in-

"HAN JISUNG!" Y/N yelled, slapping him on the head.

"It’s just like you and chan-hyung!" Han said, holding his head in his hands. Y/N rolled their eyes.

"It does no-"

"IT DOES!" Hyunjin crowed as he walked into the room. Y/N groaned. "Oh yeah, Y/N, it's raining- chan asked if someone could go down and pick him up with an um-" Y/N grabbed their umbrella, whizzing out of the dorm. The other stray kids members looked at each other, a knowing glint in their eyes. "How are they so obsessed."

Chan waited in his car. Of course he forgot his umbrella. Catching sight of a familiar figure, he pulled open the door, running through the rain.

"Y/N~ Y/N!" he shouted. They smiled at him, holding out their umbrella before frowning.

"Did you just run through the rain?" They asked in disbelief, brushing a strand of wet hair from his face.

"Did you just come down here without a jacket?" He answered, rubbing their arms.

"I'm wearing long sleeves." Y/N argued. He could feel them shivering.

"Which are thin." Chan argued back. Y/N rolled their eyes.

"You're the one who asked for an umbrella and then ran through the rain." Y/N said back. Chan sighed.

"Y/N- baby, why are you holding the umbrella?" Y/N looked at him, confused.

"You asked for an umbrella?" They said. Chan rolled his eyes.

"No- i'm meant to be the one with the umbrella."

"Chan, you're not making any sense. You literally asked for the um- HEY!" Y/N squeaked as Chan pulled the umbrella from their grasp. Y/N reached for the umbrella, pouting when Chan put it out of their reach. He leaned down, pressing his lips to theirs before pulling back, raising an eyebrow.

"Payment for the umbrella." He explained. Y/N reached up, pressing another kiss to his lips. The umbrella fell to the floor, the sudden kiss had surprised Chan. Y/N pulled back, picking up the umbrella and Chan pouted.

"Chan- you're soaking!" Y/N said. "And all you care about are kisses?" Chan shrugged.

"I mean- they keep me warm?" Y/N hit him on the arm.

"Ok! OK! I'm going-"

Chan pushed open the door, dripping wet as all the members quickly hid something behind their backs.

"Guys~" Chan began.

"TOLD YOU IT WAS LIKE THE K-DRAMA Y/N!" Han yelled, shoving his phone into their face. Y/N’s face drained of colour.

“Show me?” Chan asked. Han showed Chan the blurry video and Chan's face turned red.

"HAN JISUNG!"

@iovemeorleaveme 🖤 @iovemeorleaveme

a/n: the reason why chan said he should be holding the umbrella is bc in kdramas its usually the guy coming to the rescue with an umbrella ykwim??
