Ryu Ryu No Mi, Mythical Type: Model: Mokele-Mbembe

The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Mokele-Mbeme is an Mythical-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into a Mokele-Mbeme hybrid and a full Mokele-Mbeme at will.

The major strength of this fruit is that it allows the user to turn into a Mokele-Mbeme, a very large and heavy-bodied sauropod dinosaur from the Congo Legends, granting them an immense boost to their size and bulk. Their size is comparable to that of beast form, as a fully-transformed is to shown extremely tall at over 12 meters.

I know a lot of people will villainize Mi-Suk and Hye-Suk but I just can't. These two women show us what different stages of motherhood can look like. We have Mi-Suk who is a family woman but not by choice. Her life would look much different if she had the ability to live as she wanted. Still, in the show we see she actually has more in her life than Hye-Suk does. She has two kids and a husband that adore her, they sit at the table and, even angry, eat. They apologize and make-up even when they still don't agree. She may have self esteem issues but it never stopped her from being able to love and support her family. To bring happiness to her kids and bonus son when they needed it. But that doesn't mean Mi-Suk is without fault. Her pride and embarrassment shoved a bridge between her and her daughter. So much so that said daughter had cancer and didn't tell anyone. Then much like many families, she let her son laze around and do basically nothing while chastising her daughter for it. She is exhausted and works everyday so she can't comprehend why Seok-Ryu needs a break. She has never gotten one. In fact, in her life, she has taken on more than taking on less.

Hye-Suk is a character that I can't bring my heart to dislike because I see so much of women in my own family in her. While it is no one else's fault that she and her husband got pregnant but their own, it doesn't make parenting easier. She deserved a career just as much as her husband and it wasn't fair that she was expected to stop while he kept going up the medical ladder. Then, when she ultimately chose herself, she was ostracized for it. Her marriage fell apart and her son turned away from her; both secretly praying one day she would choose them. But instead of seeing that, due to her own guilt, she saw it as their dislike of her because the truth was; she could have took some time off. She didn't have to take every job. But she did, and yes how she treated Choi Seung was wrong. But I just think if society was kinder to women, she wouldn't have had to choose.

Logically, if she did choose to stay, would that have been better? We know she was restless just sitting at home, she couldn't be, "Just Choi Seung's Mom", and that statement is so important. Mother's should be able to be people outside of being mom's. But so often they jump head first into parenting that they forget they are more than that.

Society tells us men can have it all in family and career but we as women have historically been told otherwise. When a child cries we call their mothers, when kids misbehave we call their mothers, when kids are born and someone needs to stay home, we look to mothers. All in all, these two women aren't just toxic mothers. They didn't wake up one day and decide to drive their kids crazy. They are people with issues and that is okay and it's okay for their kids to forgive them. It doesn't always have to be so black and white. You can love someone and support them, while also admitting they are flawed and need to do better.

It is interesting to note how Nam-soon and Ryu Shi-oh's journeys are twisted parallels of each other; both of them were ripped away from their homeland at young ages but grew up under different circumstances which influenced not only their personalities but also the decisions they would go on to make.

It appears that Shi-oh's obsession with strength stems from the belief that it's only the strong that survive while the weak are doomed, which had been drilled into him by the mafia. Deep down, he craves strength to overcome his vulnerability, which he deems a weakness and keeps concealed with the sole objective of safeguarding himself. Such is his desperation that he is willing to make do with an illusion of strength, even if it kills him in the process.

It's ironic when one considers that, in the first episode, Nam-soon had remarked that she would like a man she could protect.

Because of her experiences, after arriving in Korea, Nam-soon learned the world is more jaded than she could realise. This allowed her to provide a more balanced yet honest answer to Shi-oh's question because even though she is committed to her assigned duty, she hasn't condemned him entirely in her mind........ yet.

I do not entertain any hopes for this relationship's future in the coming episodes but I'll stick to the stand that it was a wasted opportunity to not have her develop a romantic interest in him and explore their conflicted equation in-depth. It wouldn't have mattered if they didn't end up together and have a happily ever after.

On a related note, the chemistry between the two of them is immaculate.

As my research deepens, the greater the expansion of my new Roman Empire: Byeon Woo-seok as Ryu Shi-oh.

JTBCDrama literally confirmed via IG account that Ryu Shi-oh FELL IN LOVE with Tsetseg.

Much is said that he only wanted her by force, but Tsetseg was not Gang Nam-soon. He also didn't know about the power of women. So why would Shi-oh look at Tsetseg with anything other than coveting his power other than with affection? Why wouldn't he fall in love?

Tsetseg and Gang Nam-soon were not the same person. Tsetseg challenged him, she was bold and seemed not to feel uncomfortable around him. She listened to him and showed compassion for his sad life story.

And, I still make room to comment on Ryu Shi-oh's stance. When he was around anyone else, he always walked around with his hands in his pockets (which can be considered a disrespectful gesture in Korea). Even when he hit the Delivery Man, he had his hand in his pocket.

Beside Tsetseg, he always had his hands exposed. He treated her as an equal and even as a superior (he sleeps in her presence, proving that he had trust in her to guard him in such a vulnerable state).

I'm not trying to justify the character's actions, but it's unfair to treat everything as black/white. Ryu Shi-oh was a character that had several layers. He was a Psychopath (although I don't agree with the definition in JTBCDrama itself) and could fall in love with Tsetseg.

*inhales deeply*

There's spoilers ahead so, yeah, be careful.

This weekend episodes have actually broken my soul.

He didn't even need his feelings to be reciprocate, HE JUST WANTED TO BE WITH HER.

Dear writers, some things to ask, why so much screen time to second male lead? Why create such chemistry? Such backstory? (Spoiler alert: that will make us sympathize with the supposed villain) To just fuck*ing rip his heart out and pulverize it like Grandma with the cow bones, yes, just like that.

Let me get this straight, after having been raised in an environment of violence, pain and God knows what else for God knows how long, he falls in love. He experiences ✨feelings✨ ,he puts all his trust in her like never before, he shares his past and then he gets betrayed.

I swear I never seen someone cry so with so much meaning, feeling, with so much back there.

We made progress for the last (at least) five episodes TO JUST END IT IN A SINGLE ONE.

This could have been handled a lot better in a lot of ways and about a lot of topics that I could actually write an essay.

Let's begin the the main leads.

So, in order to have some sort of feeling about ML and FL loving eachother you need to put screen time ON them. Yeah, they support eachother, they have known far before Si Oh, they are funny and a lot of things more. They even kissed and very passionately, wow.

Just one thing, Why didn't I even blink during that scene but found myself hitting the pillow and blushing when Si Oh did such mundane things as taking her home, opening doors for her, fixing her purse, hair, looking at her with those "I love you" eyes,👏feeling👏guilty👏about👏making👏her👏uncomfortable👏 with👏his👏feelings👏for👏her HELLO??, WAVING HER BACK WHILE HE WATCHED HER GO, SMILE EVERY DAMN TIME HE SAW HER?

I´ll tell you why. Because I know, thanks to you, that Si Oh was experiencing for the very first time what it's like to have human interaction that doesn't involve violence or having to be wary of everything and everyone all the time.

Even after having lived a life of shit, even after still living a life of absolute shit he still wanted to be connect, to be happy, to make her happy, to love and be loved. Moreover, I couldn't help just to feel happy for him, sad, angry, fucking rageous (not more than him, obviously).

Meanwhile, I barely know Hee Sik aka the male lead.

I remember seeing his mother once and I think that's what I understood about his private life. Sorry, I forgot about his deceased brother, that could have been a good topic to develop if it wasn't just mentioned once somewhere in the sixth chapter and left there to rot. Other than that, I know he is a cop, loves his cops friends and loves Nam Soon, also he is really loyal and good person.

Nice👍, very nice. But that's not personality or backstory, that's a job and some general traits everyone should have to live in a society and have a job where you usually do the teamwork thingy.

So, what else??

Or does the man just exist for his job and girlfriend?

It is just I simply don't understand it, you create a seriously complex character that has all kinds of potential and you want us to root for...Yeah, no. He literally could be an extra with how little and simple information we receive about him.

Even Shi Oh had some time to box being a drug dealer and full time whipped for her.

I'm just saying that you want me to suddenly dislike someone you took a considerable amount of time explaining but I have to like this good guy because you just pointed at him 👉🧍, and said, "here's the good guy, please love him"

Sorry, I cant do that.

If you haven't noticed, you just made a character I fell obliged to sympathize.

If you wanted to make him evil and hot you should have just made him evil and hot.

It worked just as well with Jang Han Seok from Vincenzo.

Not have him have "REDEMPTION" written all over him just to go with "Actually, no. He has no chance. 😃". It is for lack of a better term, frustrating. (Pointless)

Instead, maybe you should have dedicated that screen time for the construction of the main leads relationship.

Oh, yes. Another thing since we are talking about the matter.

ML and FL relationship progress got weaker and weaker since she had started to spy on Si Oh. And then one episode it was like "Oh, yeah, forgot to tell you, they are actually dating by now" Bom, a kiss. If I need a kiss to know they are in love, there's something going on back there. If a great amount of people are rooting for a couple that is not the main one, something is going on there.

Something lacking.

Scenes of them in love: well acted, nice, cute, cool, okay. But it is like picking a random romance book and start reading it ten chapters ahead, they are in love, but how did this happen??? Last time I check, they were in a friends-catching-fealings-zone.

Where's their development?

I know where is it. In the fake relationship, that it was being used just to turn Si Oh into a complete monster with probably not chance of going back.

"You have suffered a lot, yeah, I see. Anyway here's more pain. Suffer more and go cause some trouble because if not, there's, apparently, no plot"

Nice job.

I have been saying this and I will say it again, kdrama writers/directors are not ready for traumatized villains. They are afraid of them.

Y'all the Instagram kdrama fans are so insane and so are some of you on here cuz like wdym Namsoon is worse than Ryu Si-o. I GET IT YALL LOVE A HOT VILLAIN YOU THINK HE HAD A SAD PAST YOU THINK HE SHOULDVE BEEN WITH NAM SOON. But be so fr. He's hurt her brother, her mother, her friends and lots of people both directly or indirectly. Innocent people. He does this with pleasure. Why would she like him no matter how well he treats her? That's literally everything she goes against as a person. What do you mean Namsoon now deserves to die or lose cuz she's a bad person😭😭😭. She knew he was bad and that he needed to be stopped. That's all there is to it. The actor plays this character well if he's likable to you but yall have zero character analysis skills or anything beyond a one dimensional surface level understanding of what a person should be if your justification for the big bad guy to win is "He's hot and he had genuine feelings for her." How will a tumblr person ever eat the rich and powerful when the tumblr person folds the second the rich and powerful are attractive😭😭😭. Keep your "I can fix him" a little more wrapped up babe cuz some of you are a little too serious about it.

Don't even get me started on how yall treat the actor playing the male lead. You don't have to like him, or the main couple but Jesus the way some of you treat him😭😭😭. Also like "Ryu Si-O should date Namsoon instead of Gang Hee-Sik" LET THE GIRLY DECIDE HER TYPE THAT BOY WITH THE SOFT SMILE AND ACTUALLY GOOD HEART IS HER TYPE.

Ryu Shi Oh: Unforgettable from Start to Finish

Ryu Shi Oh. Good, bad, should he have ended up with Nam Soon, was their chemistry better? Did everyone love him just because Byun Woo Seok played(read slayed) the character? Let's leave that debate for a while. He was the most well written character of the series from start to finish. For me what's memorable is his equation with Nam Soon.

Even after she betrayed him, he probably loathed himself for trusting her than actually hating her. But what I can't forget is that he shot himself while maintaining eye contact with her from start till the end.

It was like, "I'm keeping my end of the bargain for you by surrendering. But I will go down on my own terms."

From his P. O.V,it was just these two.

peak romance is saying "be on my side"

"All I wanted, was for you to be on my side. I would've done anything for that to happen." – kang yohan | the devil judge

"Hit me all you want, but be on my side; because even when you hit me, it's for my sake." – nam shin | are you human too?

"I thought you were on my side." – ryu shi oh | strong girl namsoon bonus: "no matter what, you must stay by my side." – ryu shi oh | strong girl nam soon

[kruzbr]

hey yall i blacked out somewhere in the middle of watching this show but i think this is the gist of it: sio told nam soon his plan and nam soon, ignored whatever the hell she was told to do, instead said "hey man, pretty fucked up plan u have there, i think youre better than this" and sio had a long hard think about it and decided that yea having love and care for another human being made him a stronger and happier person than droogs did i hope this helps
