I finished My Name two weeks ago and I'm still obsessed with it!? I've tried other dramas but I can't find anything as intense and complex as the relationship between Moo Jin and Ji Woo and it sucks! So I also wanted to thank you for your fanfiction Up In Smoke because it helped to fiil the void that I feel in my heart.

I think that's the thing a lot of people enjoyed the show for the most. It's complex and yet so many things are vague they leave you feeling empty, you can't define them but they feel a little too precious and valuable. The only other show that ever felt this complex and this heavy to me was My Mister. It was the same exact dilemma because people didn't know how to define their connection but it felt so special you knew there was something so deep there between them even they would be too scared to explore because of how potent and how overwhelmingly good but chaotic it can turn out to be! I'm really glad to hear that Up In Smoke can fill in some of that void because in a way I feel like I write it for that same reason. It helps me live out that emptiness and find some comfort and joy in such a potential that was never explored. In a way I think we're all wishing for at least a second season where he lives and maybe things are left open for us to hope that maybe just maybe things do get better at some point but I'm not sure how that would downplay the heaviness they intended for each of their characters because they weren't meant to be shown as good people (not with drugs and murder involved) or without sins so the intention of things getting better was never there in the story. Still, maybe showing how that could crumble down and people can choose a more simplistic path would be worth it, just like how that monk from the temple chose to let go of many things. Maybe the price would be too high and maybe the pain would linger but maybe we'd take that open ending of there being a possibility of things getting better over the ending of Mujin dying and Jiwoo living like that.
