I won't wish you well. Because then you will forget me and everything we went through here / Jeongnyeon-yah, forget all about me and live your life. I'll remember everything for us. I promise I'll live my whole life feeling guilty.I promise to always suffer every time I think of you.

Dear Jeongnyeon,

Did you know, to me, you were my dream, my longing and my one and only prince. I've reached where I originally was but I can never return to the time I hadn't met you. Thank you. Now, you'll be everyone's prince. I'll always be rooting for you,

Your Jooran.

Jeongnyeon x Jooran: Goodbye my one and only Prince

The ending of Jeongnyeon break my heart so much 💔 and this is my take on deleted kiss scenes between Jeongnyeon and Jooran from unedited script

Jooran (in a trembling voice):

"Goodbye, Jeongnyeon. My one and only prince. "

Jeongnyeon's heart feels like it will stop, and the sight before her eyes is dizzying.

Jooran looks at Jeongnyeon with trembling eyes and kisses her.

The first and last, infinitely trembling and heartbreaking kiss.

-- Jeongnyeon uncensored script collection, Volume 2, Episode 11

“The tragedy of the two is that only at the moment of kissing does Jeongnyeon realize that she also loves Jooran. Ah... it wasn’t friendship.”

-- writer Choi Hyobi, in the commentary book of Jeongnyeon’s script collection.

I think this is also worth sharing. Another interview with Woo Davi, our lovely Jooran. And I'm going to bold my favorite in this interview and input comments enclosed with '<>'🤭

Woo Davi on Jeongnyeon: "Subtle emotional scenes with Kim Taeri... I actually fell for her" [IS Interview]

"I felt a surge of emotions when the 'Twin Towers' stage ended."

Actress Woo Davi gained recognition through the tvN drama Jeongnyeon. She portrayed Jooran, a friend of the protagonist Jeongnyeon, bringing depth and dimension to the character while also charming audiences with her role as Guseulagi on the women’s national theater stage.

In a recent interview with Ilgan Sports, Woo Davi shared, "I felt sad after the final scene featuring the 'Twin Towers' stage in the last episode of Jeongnyeon. It felt like a farewell I wasn’t ready for, as though I was parting with Jeongnyeon. I’d never experienced such emotions in my life before. Everyone gave their all, and for me, it was a series of challenges." <same, davi, same.>

Jeongnyeon, based on a webtoon of the same name, is set in the post-Korean War 1950s and tells the story of Jeongnyeon (played by Kim Taeri), a girl with an extraordinary singing talent, and her journey in a women's national theater troupe. The drama premiered on October 12 with a 4.8% nationwide viewer rating (according to Nielsen Korea) and concluded on November 17 with a remarkable 16.5% rating.

Woo Davi played Hong Jooran, a trainee in the Maeran Theater Troupe who stood out as the only character to warmly support Jeongnyeon when others were envious of her genius. While the original webtoon depicted Jooran as simply Jeongnyeon’s friend, the drama expanded her role to significantly influence Jeongnyeon’s transformation. Woo Davi delivered a multi-faceted performance, portraying innocence in their friendship, the confusion of a young girl feeling subtle emotions for Jeongnyeon, and the eventual struggles of a woman swept up by the times. Her nuanced portrayal contributed to the drama being praised as a well-crafted piece. <thank you for recognizing 🥰>

During the interview, Woo Davi, who showed a personality more assertive than her character Jooran, expressed deep affection for her role. “Jooran is steadfast and kindhearted, always approaching others with an open mind. She boldly shares her thoughts, even with the genius Jeongnyeon and the distant Yeong-seo (played by Shin Ye-eun). Despite being 18 in the story, her ability to stay grounded in challenging circumstances was admirable,” she said. However, she added with a laugh, “In real life, I tend to say what’s on my mind right away because I don’t want to have regrets. Watching Jooran hesitate to admit her mistakes to Jeongnyeon made me think, ‘You should just say it!’” <i wonder if davi would've confessed to jeongnyeon aside from admitting her mistake trying to run away/refusing to admit her true feelings 🤭 because the way i interpreted jooran's action was it's because of her confused feelings for jeongnyeon and it scares her because maybe she couldn't understand it at first as to why she's having such feelings for her. so if davi happens to be in the same situation i wonder if she'd say to jeongnyeon right away: "i'm scared to be your partner because you make me feel things i've never felt before. my heart went crazy when we practiced and it got me confused idk if it's just acting or not anymore.">

Jeongnyeon centered on Jeongnyeon’s coming-of-age story, but the drama also focused on the dynamics between its characters, showcasing significant changes in their relationships. Woo Davi explained, “Jooran has many sides to her. She’s angelic at times and cold at others. I worked hard to portray these contrasts while maintaining her core identity.” Regarding the pivotal scene where Jooran witnesses Jeongnyeon losing her voice, Woo Davi shared, “I wanted to capture the subtle nuances in that moment.” In that scene, Jooran develops emotions that seem to transcend friendship while rehearsing the role of Gomigeol in Jamyeonggo opposite Jeongnyeon, played by Kim Taeri.

“There’s no doubt that Jooran felt something deeper than friendship for Jeongnyeon. Since both characters love the stage, it made sense for their emotions to intertwine with their Jamyeonggo roles. I read comments on that scene, and one said, ‘Who wouldn’t fall for Kim Taeri if she looks at you like that?’ and I completely agreed. (Laughs) Taeri’s gaze has a way of drawing you in. I actually fell for her in real life during that scene. The atmosphere on set was so intense that you could hear every breath, but Tae-ri unnie led the scene so naturally that acting in it wasn't so difficult. Unnie is so full of passion that I just had to follow her energy in every scene. I feel lucky and honored to have worked with her." <when davi said "i actually fell for her in real life" seems like taeri and davi have become the real versions of jeongnyeon and jooran 🤭 because it's that same scene where jooran's (dormant) feelings for jeongnyeon awakened, and that same scene also made davi fell in love with taeri. but without going beyond, davi's transparent admiration for taeri is so cute, and perhaps this already answers my question if davi happens to be jooran she had already confessed to jeongnyeon with how davi boldly declares that she fell in love with taeri during the same scene. and the last sentence really warms my heart "i feel lucky and honored to have worked with her". i'm so happy for woo davi for getting that role, giving her a chance of once in a lifetime to work with the actress she admires and really winning for she got to also be the love interest of kim taeri~~>

Woo Davi also captivated viewers with her role as Guseulagi in Jamyeonggo. Her princess-like appearance and aura immediately drew attention. The interplay between Jooran and Jeongnyeon, both portraying Guseulagi, added an extra layer of fun. Reflecting on her performance, Woo Davi said, “I was nervous watching the scene, but I was relieved to see nothing seemed off. Later, when I read viewers’ comments, they were so overwhelmingly positive that I joked about the company hiring people to write them. It was an honor to be associated with such kind words and to receive so much praise.” <you deserve all the praises because you did a splendid job, davi 🥰 both you and taeri. also, thank you for your hardwork and for bravely auditioning for jeongnyeon: the star is born despite it having a subtle gay theme (as a rookie actor it's really brave. but same with kim taeri, when she's also just starting, she bravely starred in the handmaiden which is more explicit). and i hope that you'll be more confident in your craft. but i understand the nervousness especially that scene screams *gay* because sadly s.korea isn't still so open. so for it to receive such positive comments is really a surprise and must be very rewarding. but it's great that they dared to air a drama with same-sex intimacy for general audiences even though the director had been cautious and have deleted some scenes (*the needed kissing scenes**gay fights*) that can really confirm jooran and jeongnyeon's feelings for each other.>

Like her fellow cast members, Woo Davi trained in women’s national theater techniques for a year before filming. She admitted, “At first, it felt so foreign and challenging that I was often discouraged, wondering if I’d ever improve. The process was also about accepting my own shortcomings and growing through them.”

Since her debut in the 2019 web drama Triple Some 2, Woo Davi has steadily built her career through supporting roles in various projects. Jeongnyeon marked a turning point in her career, firmly establishing her presence among viewers. “Even though the drama has ended, I’m still thinking about how I can showcase more diverse aspects of myself,” she shared. To her fans, she said, “Thank you for all the love you’ve shown. I promise to repay your support with even better performances.” <i'm looking forward. and if i'm going to be honest, i want more of davi and taeri gl series. and also, i don't think i'm ready yet to see davi be partnered up with a guy. though i know she already starred in a drama wherein, obviously, she's partnered up with a guy. i know i'm being petty. but it's the same with taeri. after watching the handmaiden, i found that it's hard for me to watch taeri being intimate and locking lips with a guy. *i think i have a heterophobic percentage lmao*)>

davi ur so gay...

how genderbending the warriors (2024) is done not for the sole sake of "bad-assery"

okay here we go feminist ramble time for our newest chick on the block: warriors. now i'll be honest, prior to listening to the album, when i first heard that the warriors main girls were originally dudes in the movie and the novel, i thought that the decision for the genderbending, in lmm's perspective, were from the following: 1.) girl power move in like a very basic meaning of the word "bad-ass" 2.) simply a twist on a cult movie about big gang bros loved by the film bros, and 3.) a way to have the schuyler sisters back together gjfkdfldf

but when i read more about warriors and its development and how lmm took inspiration from the gamergate controversies of 2014-2015 aka among the peak of gamerbro misogyny campaigns, that's when i realized that Oh Shit Is Serious - because adapting a story about a group being framed and targeted and harassed for something they are accused of doing without any substantial proof other than a man screaming "THE WARRIORS SHOT CYYYYRUUS" with 21st century misogyny campaigns in mind makes the theme of fighting back a lot more complicated and a lot more resonant, going beyond just marketing a cast you can call "badass"

take the hurricanes' quiet girls, for example. the hurricanes (concept album version) is the only gang that lets the warriors off the hook and with a stern warning: quiet girls don't make it home. here, the hurricanes berate the warriors for not saying shit or attempting to defend themselves from accusations they know well aren't true. THIS MESSAGE IN PARTICULAR is what stays and influences ajax, fox, and swan til the very end of their stories.

literally one song after this does ajax show how easily she resonated with the hurricanes' lesson by finally sticking with her gut and actually choosing to fight back against both the baseball furies AND against the sleazy undercover cop. the latter encounter is one of the instances that really solidifies the recontextualization of the story because in the OG movie, ajax (a dude) WAS the sleazy fuck up harassing a woman in a park - and now with the literal character switch, ajax goes from being just a rebellious gangbro dude bro into someone whose want to fight is warranted. such a want to fight is seen in fox seeing as fox is the first to comment on the quiet girls scene and that, in the concept album, she is the one that instigates the rumble against the police in union square - saying that she is sick of being afraid of them and their 'fuckin powder blue' colors (also notice how she is the only warrior that really does say fuck the cops i think that's cool BUT I'LL TALK ABOUT FOX MORE NEXT TIME)

to a less obvious extent, swan also gets the receiving end of this recurring theme - by the album's finale, the usually violence-averse caution-first interim leader becomes a lot fiercer in protecting her crew. but perhaps among what i consider to be the biggest recontextualized change in the feminist sense is MERCY and her motivations to join the warriors in the first place. according to the wiki, her attraction to swan and the warriors and um seeing the orphans as wimps is what led her to switch sides BUT IN THE CONCEPT ALBUM, mercy's motivation to become a warrior is deepened, rooted in admiration rather than attraction - wanting to be like those women who hold their head up high. and again, we see this in Sick of Runnin' when she takes part in the rumble, finding her bravery within their ranks as they fight back. here, mercy becomes less of a swan tagalong and more of someone that wants what the warriors have: pride.

of course now that i type this out i realize that warriors is not based solely on the feminist rhetoric as with their theme of hope amidst adversity, the story is more intersectional and rooted in community struggle and wanting for more than that. but nonetheless, i genuinely believe that the twt filmbros arguments on why the genders should not have been changed in the first place just for "woke" points is kinda like,,,very shortsighted because not only does the narrative of women narrowly escaping unwarranted accusations actually fucking fit, but the act of learning to fight back amidst all odds - be it that of disbelieving, predatory men or the power of oppressive pigs - stays resonant for women yesterday, today, and the days to come.

ultimately, warriors (2024) is not solely a tale of female badassery - rather, it is a tale of the need for such "female badassery" in the face of past and present realities, which is why it somehow fucking worked.

Uh oh, looks like someone snuck into my notes. Let’s hope he doesn’t shoot anyone.

Inspired by @beeperpie’s beautiful Luther design! (Well, as beautiful as this scumbag can get)

I love how you incorporated elements of his movie appearance and Kim Dracula’s appearance in your design! It’s exactly how I envisioned him, but 1000x cooler. Thank you for your service 🫡

Do you have any jonesmith headcanons (or just lil thoughts)?

I accidentally ended up doing a Mike character analysis instead of cute headcanons oops

My general headcanon is Mike gay Davy bi (I’m not strict about these types of headcanons tho). I think Mike realized he was gay before even moving to L.A. and joining the Monkees, and maybe that’s partly why he wanted to get out of his small hick town. I think growing up in a small conservative hick town would have a major effect on his acceptance of his sexuality. Plus the time period and being raised religious he would have insane guilt and self disgust and shove all of it into a tiny box and lock it away in the back of his brain. Once he moved to L.A. he would get way better about it, especially during the era of hippies bc even tho it’s still not legal people are way more chill and open about it and seeing that would allow him to reflect on it and accept it, BUT I think he would still have a lot of personal internalized homophobia to work through. I actually think he’d probably still be dealing with it even after he and Davy get together, but I don’t have any actual deep thoughts on the topic (bc I tend to only think about them in a fluffy/happy way,,, BUT if you happen to have thoughts on this I would love to hear them).

Davy hmm, I’ve read fics where he knew he was into guys when he lived in England and it’s just never come up bc getting with girls is easier, but I kinda like the idea of him not knowing until he falls for Mike. Actually I was just thinking earlier about him having a starry eyes + butterflies moment upon meeting Mike and not realizing he has feelings for him bc he’s never had feelings for a guy before so he just assumes it’s admiration bc Mike is so cool and mature and handsome and wonderful.

When they first get together Davy wants so badly to impress/woo Mike, which is silly bc they’ve been living together for years so Mike has seen him at his best and worst moments (grumpy, pissed off, upset, sick, he’s seen it all) and is still in love with him. Mike sees this happening and just goes along with it bc Davy is so cute trying to be all charming and gentlemanly, and while it doesn’t make him swoon in the same way it does all the girls Davy used to date it does give Mike a bubbly I’m in love with a huge dork feeling.

I know I’ve said that Mike def uses cute nicknames for Davy but I actually think verbal intimacy could be difficult for him, at least in terms of actually saying the words I love you (maybe he uses cute nicknames bc its an easier way to express his feelings than saying i love you 🤔)  I think this is an interesting dynamic for them since Davy’s thing is “hi my name is Davy Jones and I love you”. Davy might try to hold off saying it in fear that it will frighten Mike away or he could also drop it pretty early but not expect Mike to say it back right away. I kinda wrote that dynamic into my last fic (the trans mike fic) with Davy saying “I love you, I love you” to Mike and Mike responding not verbally but by pulling him into a passionate kiss that Davy understood was a mirroring of his feelings.

Mike would also have some insecurities, self-worth, and jealousy problems. I think even though Davy is obviously happy and loves him a lot Mike would get really in his head and be like Davy’s going to find someone better, he misses being with girls, stuff like that. And it might manifest as jealousy because he doesn’t want to lose Davy but thinks that it’s very possible it could happen. I can definitely see Mike lashing out/starting a fight over this in a moment of fear and self-loathing, and Davy would hate being told how he feels (he knows he’s happy with Mike and wants to be with him forever and hates being accused of feeling otherwise) but as long as they’re able to talk it out in the end everything would be fine. And besides they have a great support system in Micky and Peter so if they need to talk to them about problems or get advice I think they would be really helpful. (Though, again, Mike seems like the type to bottle up his problems so Micky would probably have to chip away at him, without trying to seem nosy, to get Mike to talk about what’s wrong).

Had a weird dream about a mystery/heist movie where all the characters have to break into this giant local ~aesthetic~ decor/flower market for various reasons. Except the place gets labeled as a bomb threat for some reason and they can't get in until the very last moment where all the characters have epiphanies about their lives and the importance of teamwork. So they all go in together in their separately developed little groups to face off the big bad, which was of magical nature all along but can be defeated with the power of friendship and this gun they find.

What actually makes the dream weird is the cast, which includes:

Benoit Blanc but French and struggling with his partner's death caused by him somehow.

Scientist Andrew Garfield whose entire career hinges on proving whatever is inside the building is real and he's very bad at lying.

Millie Bobby Brown who is a store owner and has somehow left her dog behind when they were forcefully evacuated.

Woo Do-hwan, professional theif and conman extraordinate, hired to break in and steal jewelry being displayed inside. His life hinges on it.

An unsauve version of Henry Cavill who is a street rat and uses his pathetic boy charm to pickpocket and steal and be a general criminal.

Kangana Ranaut, Generally being very suspicious and literally climbing the walls to get in and calling people out on their shit.

The Pacifier (2005) Vin Diesel who just exists there?? For some reason??

And for some inconceivable reason, Zuko, specifically the version of Zuko that just went back to Fire Nation and is finding out about his grandparents.

The final bad guy looks like Matt Damon dancing in Morbius. The evil government person that was in charge of keeping them out was Viola Davis and that's the only part of this dream that made sense somehow.

I know it would take years before South Korea makes a GL, but I see Jeongnyeon:The Star is Born as a start. It takes guts just to adapt a sapphic webtoon but it happened. Gayness might just be implied in the drama but I believe it’s a great beginning of the birth of GL in Kdramas since it always has a great rating.

Also, I love the fact that Thai GLs comes out every month, but nothing really beats Kdrama’s production, story telling, cinematography and acting, so I really hope I’d get to see a legitimate mainstream GL Kdrama in this lifetime.
