ep13-you-And-Us-Both
You and us both, mister. You and us both.

ep13-teddy-Bear-Satan
This is the type of show where you get distracted by random huge teddy bears sitting on hotel benches. What’s it doing there? Is it going to get up and attach Sae-yan? Will this be the serial killer we’ve all be hoping for (SPOILER: No, he’s coming later and with a mwahahaha-twist)? Or is it that they needed to cover up something on set and so the prop master was like, “Fuck it. Let’s just put a stuffed animal there.” Yeah, that gets my vote.

ep14-kidnapped-Oblivion
It’s also the type of show that has you think thoughts like, “Wait? After that super-creepy father-daughter DATE (gah-ew-gahh!!!), does she know she’s been kidnapped? And why does her father kidnapper let her have a knife? And, yes, actually, shouldn’t the show apologize for being fracking insane just like this guy???

Bad Memory Eraser, episodes 13-14.

    Y’all. These three shots were within like THREE MINUTES of one another. Lee Jong-won deserves a medal for the number of times he must have obeyed the director’s command, “Look MORE wistful, man! You can do it!”

      Wearing that cape like a dollar store Batman 🤣🤣🤣 Flapping wistfully in the wind 🙃 Lol

        You’re probably wondering, even if only in the back of your mind, why Shin’s dressed like that, aren’t you?

        I can’t really explain.

        …and let me be clear. It’s not that I don’t want to explain. I literally cannot.

          HAHAHA 😆 That’s hilarious. I legitimately assumed there had been a reason, even mentioned in passing (“ah, it’s cold,” *cape time*) for that wardrobe choice that occurs OVER A SPAN OF TIME, judging from the day-to-night progression… but wardrobe was just like *meh who cares* 🤣🙈

            We are left to infer that he found those clothes in the tent that he bought–with cash–from a couple who were leaving the campsite he’d wandered onto with no explanation of how he got there. Does that help?

            He’d lost his own coat because he tried to save this one kid from some bullies, but it turned out that the kid he saved WAS the bully, so he had to give the “nice” kid his coat…that had all his money and his ID in it PLOT POINT.

            See? No help.

            Also, I’m still laughing about “Dollar Store Batman.” Thanks for that.

            Lol @attiton you are correct; that explanation somehow makes things worse 😆 There’s almost a logical absurdity to things, in that the things most divorced from reality are the reasons WHY and the means HOW. It’s like if aliens tried to write a Kdrama script and everything is just a leeeetle bit off…

            Is he wearing a Little Black Dress under it? Or is that a person-sized potholder?

            I decided it was his “sleep cape” over his “sleep poncho.” I actually have a whole scene–invented in my mind–about how he decided to wear them, why, and in what order.

            He’s reviving the tea-cozies-for-people trend from Crash Course in Romance and Kokdu.

          Surely, it is a meta commentary on the unhoused and the struggle with mental health. You know because the show is so intellectual…

      Ngl, I anxiously clicked on comments hoping to find his gifs!! So thank you.
      I hope cape blanket quilt is not the new fashion.
      Those hands will look pretty holding a beer glass than that pan. Just saying. #BrewingLoveComePalliPalli

        Thank the director. I’m just the reporter 🤣

        It dawns on me that the last pair of episodes will almost certainly see Shin come to Gun’s rescue, because that would be the most tedious thing they could think of. You can get ready for stern-faced Shin and “I love you, hyung!!” Shin next week.

      I haven’t seen episode 14 yet, so I haven’t been able to experience the full, mind blowing incoherence of this week, but did she actually sleep with him in that tent? If not, why did she stay the night?
      There’s so much to say, but I’ll just leave these words here, translated from the OST:

      “the silent streets are filled with countless thoughts, and the wounds inside them”

        There is no such thing as day-night continuity in this drama.

      Why does he look so sad when he’s wearing a blanket like it’s a cape? Like, does he expect to be taken seriously right now? 😂

        If you are asking such questions, this show may be for you!!! Shin is like a Commedia dell’arte character…a desperate, love-sad clown. It’s impressive, if you allow it.

        You can also totally not allow it.

    This shot is so dumb. It’s so dumb. GAH!!!! I need to share it with others so my pain is lessened. 왜why왜왜왜왜왜? It’s supposed to be funny, but it’s really not. In context, it’s even less funny. What the kids say next…isn’t FUNNY.

    And you thought that having three of these loving shots of LJW’s face in the comment above meant I was done. Nope. Please let this be the last one of these, show. Please. Jebal. Let’s have the series end with a smile.

    That’s it. That’s all. Look at that hostess’s face. That’s how I feel. Why did he hand me this balloon? Why are they leaving? What’s my line? HELP.

    TWO…MORE…HOURS, people.

      Alright, now that I’ve seen episode 14, we have the “science” rearing its ugly head. Its too bad Korea is not an advanced country, with actual medical and scientific protocols, and is ruled by evil “doctors” who do Frankenstein like operations without their patient’s approval.

        When Gun just ran in, unaccompanied, into that operating theater staffed by a lone doctor clearly there to perform (surprise!!!) surgery on him, I about lost my shit. Why, though? Why did I expect anything else?

        What if, in the end, the ML kills the FL in a fit of re-un-lobotomized rage? Would that not be the most satisfying ending?

        I think this show has now also stolen my human dignity.

          Remember the good old days? When we were all complaining about all the weird poop/sexual kinks the writer loaded into the story? It feels like a decade ago.

            Aaaaactually, now that you mention it, did either of you (@hacja too) think that the writers actually missed an amazing opportunity for a long, long diarrhea gag after the lead couple go to that super cheap-and-dirty $6/plate buffet restaurant??

            It’s like they’ve even lost their way on the potty humor. C’mon guys! The audience can’t do ALL the work here 🤓🚽

            @attiton The buffet was the inspiration for this comment. Great minds.
