The Dan household’s eldest daughter-in-law whose inner thoughts cannot be known. A four-dimensional character [...] was an opportunity given for me to transform as an actress: from feminine & cutesy image to a tsundere with unconventional material and futuristic style.

i love how jang semi has been chasing her MIL since episode 1 like a laser guided missile, every time doyi is in the same room as her she basically goes "AWOOGA 🥵 WOOF WOOF 🥵😍😍 mommy 😍 BARK 🥵💦 WOOF 😍" and people go "hmm i have a sneaking suspicion that maybe this woman is a bit fruity?"

the bit fruity woman in question

[michyeosseo]

So based on the interview going around twitter, the whole semi plot was phoebe's idea of a common MIL fantasy of your DIL loving and craving your approval? But the actual execution... yikes. it seems more like something Ted Bundy would dream. Like it was just the wish-fullfillment that the person who has been indifferent to you for years, hurting your feelings, is actually deeply obsessively in love with you! Then you get to be the cold and indifferent one to hurt them back.

*pinches my nose bridge* not you, anon. who deigned that psycho interview-worthy? get help asap

do click on that db write-up i linked, before you proceed please and thank you

flinched as soon as i saw @suika28 tweet that about 30 (?) minutes before the finale aired. that's me who admittedly has known her WILD history. the nerve to admit queerbaiting:

“they don’t have mutual liking of each other but rather, the mother-in-law hates the daughter-in-law’s affections. […] the homosexual story didn’t develop, don’t worry.”

i guess that's the one consistency im sunghan has. she does not care.

after all, when the production was still <durian fairy>, streets were saying it's a romance between the two and she put out a statement definitely disavowing that. the third teaser came out and, well, the seas parted; the sun was rising in the west! in a stilted ensemble, jang semi was the only one consistently getting to show development... and by that, i meant baek doyi was considering her confession every waking moment.

despite south korea being its usual meninist self, ~the couple with the epic love story~ from my perspective was thriving. such unconventional yet ardent affection resonating with its found audience. garnering international attention & support for the actresses who are both generous with the fanservice. fun times.

then, the nightmare aka the second half came out to be.

you already said it, doyi's tragedy / comphet heel turn 'twas all to hurt [semi] back. to insult decades of feeling unlovable. i'll walk it off, eventually, but that nasty backhand might as well be directed at me.

to be clear: i do not blame the characters, they were used as mouthpiece - puppets to im sunghan's innate, did-not-even-have-to-think-about-twice hatred of not just lesbians but women in general. nor do i blame the leads, they've evidently shown more enthusiasm to go beyond for semidoyi; how could they have foreseen the first half was just a sick dare?

makjangs are Not the place to go to if one wants some moralizing from a kdrama but who thinks funding sweeping harmful generalizations is all okay???????
