I’ll admit I’m not as familiar with your work as the other admins, still being a relative newbie in this space myself, but it’s been a delight to see your sets in the tags and give them a closer look for this post! Your consistency is frankly inspiring (so quick to capture iconic moments O.o) and I adore your blended sets and graphics in particular.

When The Phone Rings

Baek Saeon went from

1. She is not supplementary pages. Hee Joo is a brand new language.

2. Underestimating yourself is a bad habit, I’d like to help you break that bad habit. (GIF credit @liveasbutterflies )

3. I’m scared to death right now.

4. I won’t go anywhere.

5. I like it. I like feeling your heartbeat.

6. I feel regretful I haven’t done enough as a husband.

To:

7. Tell me how to not love you.

8. The only Baek Seon I want to leave behind in this world is the one that belongs to Hong Hee Joo. (Gif credit @liveasbutterflies)

Upon careful reconsideration (staring at his arms for TEN minutes unblinkingly), I think I can ALMOST understand Hong Hee-joo running into a warzone for him. Like, imagine getting to cuddle with him for a few days and having to go without for the rest of your life... yeah, almost.

before & after color challenge; tagged by the lovely @ryoun , thank you. - i think i was tagged for this before a year or so ago by somebody else and forgot to do it, so to whoever that was thank you to.

i love this challenge as i get to see how my coloring shifted over the time. my coloring as of late is very simple and basic as i try to enhance the coloring and make it more vibrant. as usual i start and end with levels, and in between a first curves to brighten, and one near the end to add more contrast, sometimes i use one more to correct the coloring of the base. a coloring balance to brighten the lighter areas by adding more blues, one selective color layer and that's usually it more or less.

Let’s give props to the writers who teased us all episode 15 long for those beautiful 10 minutes at the end.

Like we all thought we’d get this right of the bat …

But first we got this

Then we got the glorious bed hair 😏

Then came the adorableness of Jang Shinyu waiting for his wifey with the biggest smile and flowers.

I mean this was literally one flower waiting to give another flower flowers ….

This math maths for me

We even got him humming happily too 🤌🏼🤌🏼

Then came all the glorious closet smut …

I mean this might be the scene of the series 👌🏼👌🏼

And if that weren’t enough we got sweet morning after cuddles

We were literally teased all episode for this right here

And. It. Did. Not. Disappoint.

But honestly it’s Eun wol that we should be thanking here

I mean … excuse me??? It’s a daughter.

A daughter. A conception dream.

And our man here did not even bat an eye. He straight up went, “okay, a daughter it is.”

And then …. Because the writers know how to mess with us what better way to end this episode then to have our girl being kidnapped 👌🏼👌🏼

Now who are the clowns? 🤡

25-21

@chaeyoojung 1

The transition from yellow to blue to show how his one quality he adored also became something that hurt him

My Demon

@dingyuxi 1

My salvation!!!! And his determination and selflessness to save her

Vigilante

@chaeyoojung 1

I already told you and will tell you again and again that I adore this set. His entire character arc. How he chooses to be vigilante is seen sooo well here.

Castaway Diva

@khaoray 1

This is beautiful!!! Their dreams are fulfilled. This is such a happy edit AAAH my heart

See You In My 19th Life

@dingyuxi 1

Something about her selflessness to die for him. Something about how he fiercely remembers and protects her memory. I love how that is shown so well in this set.

@liveasbutterflies 1

I cried in the scene. I cried after seeing this set. She was loved so loved by her mom.

Daily Dose Of Sunshine

@moonlightsdream 1

I adore how your chose their beach and bustop for this dialogue set.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo

@kdramaladies 1

Everytime I hear this dialogue and see this set I cry. The color combination of b/w and golden is so beautiful.

@sjoongki 1

This is one of those edits that will forever affect me. Their shilloutes! Amazing job love ittt.

Alchemy of Souls

@kdramaladies 1

This was the set that made me watch the show. It's beauty, yes. Also it manged to make me feel curious about her.

@kalena-henden 1

The journey! The symbolism! Beautiful set.

@seawherethesunsets 1

The gif of him gently kissing her eyes! Beautiful!!

@liveasbutterflies 1

I love how this set has shown naksus journey.

Little Women

@deokmis 1

A show edit. A show based on a book. And the said books quotes are combined with tv show adaption characters. My nerdy heart is swinging. And beautiful quotes are choose with characters.

Flower of Evil

@deokmis 1

Will I reach a drama where this quote doesn't wreck me? No. The gif with "makes my demons go away" Insaneeeeeee

The Eighth Sense

@dramaism 1

The journey!!! I am a Sucker for these edits. And seeing them get together at the beach casually without any grand declarations was soooo them. And of course the consequences later. That's when the grand declarations come in. Something about how things are simple when it's just the without the involvement of the world.

The Glory

@deokmis 1 2 3

1) Take me to church + them?? The way he knew she intended to use him and he let her!!! Perfect choice for them and perfect selection of scenes!

2) The fact that Jae joon died not knowing who his killer is because he is color blind. But we know!! We know how he killed him so that ye seol will be safe. Uff. Isolating the red to bring out the detail? Amazing

3) Death is my hand + the tattoo gif!! No thoughts. Head empty.

@smittenskitten 1

Isolating the green color!! The talent. They way it celebrates an important arc of the show

Beyond Evil

@khaotunqs 1

The yellow with blank and white!! Beautiful. I didn't like to be touched because I craved it too much!!

@magicaldreamfox1 1

The scene he arrests him, always makes me cry. And the words being "how often will you repent" uffff

@l-tyrell 1

He did everything because of his love, his guilt, his regret. It's gorgeous set. Also gotta listen every hozier song now because I believe it goes perfectly with the tone of this show

@ladyverdance 1

Lee dongsik was a ghost after all the deaths he survived. He was only kept alive by his grief, guilt and love for people he lost. His purpose to avenge them. Beautiful set

Summer Strike

@chinzillas 1

The words+ scene you have chosen so well about how she felt trapped in the daily drudgery of life. And how he chooses to break free. Beautiful!!

The Devil Judge

@gusucloud 1

The motif of fallen angel. Something something devil was an angel before he fell. Love the coloring with golden hues

@natahjikio 1

Was she evil? Yes. Was she a surviour and a badass? Yes. Adore how you did justice to all sides of her in this set

@yilinglaozu 1 2 3

1) he knows gaon is righteous and idealistic. Having him in his life will only hurt them both. He knows Yohan is too hurt and disillusioned to believe in a fair world. He knows they will only hurt each other. Yet they simultaneously hurt and heal each other

2) shut up. Yohan was all alone until he had gaon. Good lord no words.

3) gaon getting to see the real Yohan. Beneath the confident indifferent Yohan. Him willing to change himself and his world views because what is world without Yohan? Beautifully bought out in this set

@spicyvampire 1

The he loves you too words with them saying goodbye!! Tan give me a break

Things to note

These include edits that I found in 2023.

These include edits that gave me the feels.

Thank you for your art. They make the experience of watching the show all the more fun. It helps in appreciating the characters. It helps me see them in new light.

Looking forward to see more of art from amazing artists on here.

To, people I didn't tag - tumblr tagging limit sucks. Your art is beautiful simply because it's made. You made it with a feeling and that in itself is beautiful.

Also, the tag is #becauseigtf in case yall wanna tag me in future :)

Chae Soo Bin as Hong Hee Joo

Never getting over how Chae Soo Bin emoted in this scene. Hong Hee Joo was all teary eyed , overwhelmed seeing how her love has always had eyes only for her. The feeling of being loved was so alien to her entire life and now it’s overflowing from Baek Saeon. I will never stop saying how tender and soft their moments of realising each other’s love have been in this drama.

Well done to her, the writer and director 👏🏼

[impala124]

Number 3 of hee joo matching his freak he's done nothing but protect her without caring for anything and she said syke I'm gonna protect you with my life actually. It honestly would've felt so underwhelming if she didn't prove time and again in the last 2 episodes that she loves him just as madly as he loves her because his absolute devotion to her without that kind of reciprocation would just fall flat. It's so much more satisfying when they're both utterly gone for each other and yes please we need more leads like her in 2025

I agree with you wholeheartedly, anon. I was waiting eagerly to see how she would prove that she's willing to risk it all for him, because we've seen him do it at multiple instances for her atp. I gotta be honest, I might've shed a tear or two when she pleaded with her husband on the phone to let her protect him for once. Doing it so that she can takedown the guy who's hell bent on killing her husband with her is just ASDGFGHJF

gif credit: @liveasbutterflies

The fact that she took the kidnapper's side at one point against her husband has been eating at her. This wasn't an impulsive decision on her behalf, it has always been on the back of her mind and she did it after verbally confessing her feelings to him.❤️ Wait. Was it the first time she said those words out loud to him? I believe so.

Starting a prayer circle in hopes that we get to see more female leads like Hong Hee-joo in the upcoming year. Feel free to join!!

[psalm40speakstome]

Hi hi

@liveasbutterflies @dramaism I saw someone on instagram make a parallel of the fact that this quote “Was it my memory that I lost? or was it you?” Now applies to Sun Jae in the current timeline!

I got emotional and wondered if anyone would be willing to make a similar gif set to the ones of Sol but featuring SunJae this time?

And since you have both already done excellent gif work with the quote I tagged you. 💛

Please forgive me if I’m being annoying and completely understand if that’s not something you want to make.

But it seems like the last episodes and the new one on Monday(since it looks like he may remember) might have some quality content for this idea.

Again thanks for letting me bother and sorry for the tagging and I only added the links to specific gif sets to clarify what I was talking about.
