#nlmg neungdiao

[goldenmorningglory]

I've been watching and rewatching never let me go ever since i watched it in April and god. a show hasn't had a chokehold on me like this since bad buddy. like.

one of the main reasons as to why never let me go is so well done, outside of all the action, is how they show the development of intimacy between palmneung.

neung is complicated. there were moments in my first watch where I was confused because neung was sending palm such obvious signals of interest but would later talk as if he hadn't. and rewatching made me realise that he operates like that. to neung, he was bold and he was pro active but never really hopeful. he would take action but would never feel confident that it would come to fruition. how could he? everytime he tried to trust and hope it was dashed, but somehow he knew that he had to take it slow when it came to palm.

their disbelief of each other's existence shows in their interactions. they realise that attraction, want to know each other, care and concern exists between them. but in different ways they've both been hurt, abandoned, made to think they aren't meant for love.

in palm's case it present like an empty canvas. he chooses to be painted in neung's colours because really no one was interested in knowing him enough to paint before. in neung's case it presents as a vase, cracks and fissures that leak his tiny yet still present hope of finding love one day. and as neung paints palm, palm fills the cracks in neung's vase, fans the dying embers of neung's hope into fire.

their surprise and disbelief at each other's existence shows in their intimacy. so very light- like touching a butterfly wing. you're scared of hurting and making it fly away but the colours. oh the colours are gorgeous.

they fall into each other stumbling, with detours, and u turns but once those colours stain their fingers, they'll find their way back to each other. the kiss on the rooftop (second one that hooked me) gave palm a reprive from his constant want that he repressed and gave neung a taste that he would never be able to forget.

idk where I'm going with this but god, the physical touch depicted in this show is so much to my taste because to me, intimacy comes in those casual touches, especially their forehead touches, palm just holding neung, the easy way in which palm take hold of neung's hand and neung is just happy to let him lead because he'd go anywhere with palm by his side.

bye this is so incoherent I just acted to rant about palmneung and their intimacy

[themiracleofteddybearmanifestos]

This is wild that this is like a 2 year difference, bro looked 13 in that first one

Anyways, FUTS Phuwin vs NLMG Phuwin is crazy

Like Pi is supposed to be older than Neung and that's really funny

never let me go | ep 5

[purple-out-of-red-and-blue]

neungdiao and chopper are truly of the same blood they have so much cheesiness in them

[bl-inded]

Can I just rant about Ben for a second?

First of all, Chopper obviously is trying to do the best with whatever situation he's been dealt right. Imagine being 16-17 years old. You are essentially still a child. You are dependent on your parent(s), like it or not for Chopper it happens to be a murderous, power hungry asshole.

He clearly doesn't like what his father does. He tries to speak out against it. He even pleads with his father not to do things like this. You could argue he could do more, but anything he does to reach out to Neung or Palm will only put them in more danger.

Now the audacity of Ben to come and tell Chopper that he is not a good person for trying to survive??? While he can't even stand up to his own father and gladly points the blame at someone else who he claimed to like!? I'm just supposed to take it?? And thennnn he proceeds to give him an ultimatum?? Really. Sir, your dad is a lot less threatening and a lot less powerful than Choppers. I need someone to think about his safety too.

And god the promo of the next episode the way Neung also doesn't trust him 🥲. Can I just wrap this boy in a blanket and keep him away from the rest of the world?? He deserves so much better.

[zenjiiejiie]

You know what I really want? I want neung and choppers relationship to be like Tian and Yangs from 'to sir, with love' the two are constantly put against each other for their parent's own grudges and personal gain.

Despite this yang and tian don't and never will hate each other because they Both know the other has nothing to do with what their mothers are doing. They protect each other in any way they need to and have both proven multiple times that if they had to- they'd die for each other they'd put themselves in harms way just so the other wouldn't have to.

I understand that chopper and neung will probably never be as close as yang and Tian are (considering they're cousins who grew up in different homes rather than half brothers who grew up in the same house) but I want them to have a similar relationship because they deserve it

[captainshorter]

What i love about Never let me go is when Neung said "what do you want i can give you anything" Palm glanced at Neung's lips. It's so subtle but damn

[randomjreader]

While I agree to a certain extent with the comments about how Chopper's dad was kind of a one dimensional villain (his motivations were never really explored deeply, they mostly just rooted it to him being greedy and briefly mentioned him having resentment towards his brother when they were younger), one thing I think they did well with him was his relationship with his son.

From my pov, I think that he knows he's a bad person, he's self aware of that at least, but he doesn't think/want to be a bad FATHER. Yes, he had selfish reasons for wanting the business, but I do think a part of him really believes that he's also doing it for Chopper, so that he doesn't have to struggle as much to find success and wealth. In his own twisted way, I do think he loves his son. It's especially shown in the finale, when Chopper literally shoots him, but he still commands his men to not point a gun at his son. And the way he looked so hurt and betrayed when Chopper ultimately did not choose him over neungdiao, shows that he cares.

While we're at it, let's also talk about Chopper's feelings towards his dad. He's truly one of the most misunderstood characters in the series, never really having someone on his side because poor guy is always caught in the middle; his friends don't trust him because of his dad, and he morally would never side with his dad. I think his struggle to choose between what's right and his family is so real, because on one hand all the shit his father is doing is terrible, but especially in an Asian society and community where filial piety has been drilled into our heads since young, betraying his dad could not have been easy for him. He may hate everyth that his father is and stands for, but at the end of the day that's still his blood. I love how they show this especially in the finale, where even after he pulled the trigger on him, his first instinct when someone ELSE shoots his dad was to run to his side to try and help him.

Their relationship is complex in that way, and while I think they could have definitely fleshed it out even more, I think what they offered was sufficient to give the characters some form of depth and make them interesting.

“Nueng” Nuengdiao Kiattrakulmethee from Never Let Me Go (2022) is gay (mlm/nblm only)! (Canon)

[distant-screaming]

Watching the trailer because I want to binge watch NLMG and like...... Neungdiao's Batman backstory cool cool

[purple-out-of-red-and-blue]

the way kondiao in his ost is used to mean only you but now neungdiao is weeping to his mom about how he's kondiao, or alone

[littlesuekzn]

Can someone write a fanfic crossover of NLMG and Kinnporsche, where Palm was taken by uncle Kit and to get him back Neungdiao decided to make a deal with the second family and their head Porsche ( he would probably consider Kinn too dangerous to deal with). So basically mafia should take care of Kit and his man and retrieve Palm.

Just imagine how many possibilities we can get from this... 🤗

[zenjiiejiie]

People are constantly saying that chopper's jealously is what might break his and neung relationship and I fully agree it could happen at some point but with the characteristics we've seen from both neungdiao and chopper so far it might be /neung's/ jealously that breaks them.

He has already shown what he's like when he is jealous of a girl just wait till he finds out that palm likes guys too(?) (Maybe he just likes guys we don't know rn I think he likes both tho) he's already said he trusts chopper but can that trust beat out his possessiveness? We've already seen him be jealous over how casually palm talks with chopper and as of right now he has no reason to believe that chopper likes someone else (ben)

I really hope they (the writers) don't ruin their relationship but I think that chopper deserves to go batshit for a bit so I have mixed feelings
