RIGHT IN THE FEELS- rewatching this doesn't make it any easier

Gigi

I don’t know how many times I have watched this series, but every time feels like the first

Alissa

Dohoe and Juyeong are some of my favourite protagonists because they're so incredibly flawed but you also understand why they are the way they are..but you're also like. we need to get you guys help omg....this show is so so good

Alissa

also this was the first time I ever cried to a sex scene LOL the way it contrasts between the love and innocence and butterflies of their first time versus the tension and coldness in the present....this show man

Becca Grace

GOD every time i watch the contrasting scenes of their first time and when they sleep together as adults... it is so heartbreaking!!! The cold, quiet, tenseness of the present with the dim and blue lighting vs. them giggling and smiling and playing around in the warm lighting of the past... hwang daseul is a genius.

Becca Grace

Also I will always defend Dohoe against haters because I think he really is a perfect representation of what happens to trauma when you don't confront it for soooooo many years. I love the shots of them as kids when you get to see Dohoe truly happy in those rare moments and then the present Dohoe who worked so hard to ignore everything about the past, even the moments when he was truly happy. It's honestly so crazy how believable these two actors are as both their kid selves and future selves. They are able to show that innocence as kids and that loss of innocence SO well. ACTORS.

I think i have no media literacy skills because the flow of this show is so hard to keep up with. But it's so beautiful 😭

Alissa

I had the same issue 1st watch lol but imo things get clearer later on and if you ever decide to rewatch it :)

kadee

I truly relate to this series so much as someone with a super abusive father who also felt relieved when he died. It's wild how well this series shows that the shitty stuff isn't over just bc the shitty parent is gone and you try to pretend everything is now magically better.

😦 I am realizing I did not finish this drama. The number of times I have been gagged in the first 25 minutes is staggering.

@34:40 I will get random texts from my mother telling me where important files are, if they extended this policy, or added that policy….ma’am it is 11am on a Tuesday.

Thank god I can hide behind the screen … Dohoe and Juhyeong meeting again after a long time made me so uncomfortable 😭

I think it goes beyond the theme of building up walls. The architectural plan of ‘The Dais House’ is both reflective of the main characters’ perspectives and motivations, and also a mise en abyme of the overarching plot itself. Like Mrs. Gwangmo’s Mom says, you have to go through a garden to get to the living room. It’s not just that the entry to the living space forces you to go through some extra areas. Between the entry garden and the living space there are three isolated bedrooms that all open onto a central vertex point in that hallway. Those divas need to address the reality of that day before they can move forward. A fun literary device to summarize a story’s overarching narrative particularly in those which span large periods of time with a lot of factors hidden from the audience until the end. If you enjoy stories like this where broken first loves reconnect and struggle with the responsibilities and mistakes of their time apart, I’d highly recommend the Japanese film “His”. It’s more LGBTQ+ genre than BL. If you’re looking for another BL with this setup, “Tokyo in April” is less intense than Let Free the Curse, but still focuses on the ways the past trauma impacts the main characters (certainly one more than the other). “Our Dating Sim” is a lighthearted one and even that one takes the time to address feelings of abandonment.

I’m so happy you two are watching this with me cuz damn these episodes are uncomfortable 😭😭

Justin N

God get the drinks ready for these next episodes fr yall bout to be gagged

Hwang Da Seul universe: I'm pretty sure, the old man character (who was in the real estate office) is the village chief in To My Star 2

I like that Dohoe isn’t easy to like. I hate it when writers use trauma as a way to make people more intresting or quirky or sympathetic, because in real life that is rarely the case. Dohoe is prickly and contradictory and difficult and just plain unlikable and not in that “oh he’s hurt let me fix him” but in a “dude get yourself together” way. It’s really interesting and refreshing. A perfect example of how just trying to avoid anything painful will not work. Because you can’t run from yourself.

helloadriene

they would make a really hot throuple

I actually like Dohoe. The way he acts makes sense in light of what he's been through. He's just trying to cope. I get why he does the things he does so I don't hold it against him when he's being prickly and distant. I think this show does a lot to show his soft side. Especially with Gwangmo we see him willing to risk himself to help someone else. Of course, I feel for my Juyeong being treated like that sometimes, but Juyeong's cheeriness and positivity is itself coping mechanism for his own trauma that can be, as Dohoe points out, exhausting and frustrating for others as well.

Clara V.P

I'm sorry but every time Juyeong speaks I only hear Kim Gyuvin, even the facial expressions are similar this is the zb1 brainrot I fear

Jasmine

Rewatching is really a must for HDS's dramas. Not only for the plot but the way you pick up on details she purposely left for us to uncover.

Jasmine

I understand Adam. I tear up every time at that sex scene with the flashbacks. HDS was sick for that. Also I'm glad you're trying to understand Dohoe as a character (though I didn't doubt you guys). When this show was airing I was actually shocked at how harsh some people were on him. I felt like I was watching an entirely different drama because how could you not even understand what he's going through and why he can't move on knowing his past trauma? I get it's frustrating but that's the point of his character.

bri

i want to put dohoe in a jar and shake him until he gets his act together but i also want to keep him in my pocket forever and ever to protect from the evil, nasty world

While watching I realized I missed them a lot, they are holding sm pain yet sm beauty within their relationship

the constant conflict of dohoe avoiding the past and juyeong refusing to let it go is so fascinating. even though dohoe’s dad physically abused both of them and literally caused their lives to fall apart, juyeong takes care of him for 12 years and becomes a “son” to him. but it’s not about guilt towards dohoe’s dad, it’s about clinging to any sliver of his past with dohoe. juyeong isn’t passionate about having his own gym, he wants to hold onto one of the places he most associates with dohoe and their teenage love. conversely, dohoe pathologically refuses to acknowledge the past at all. he bulldozes forward, trying to erase every little piece of the past (even down to juyeong’s threadbare wallet). he wants to pretend that their future has nothing to do with their past because he can’t stand to look back on his own mistakes and the ways he believes he failed juyeong. but no matter how many times dohoe redirects their conversations or lashes out when juyeong brings up the past, his sheer willpower is not enough to deter juyeong from fixating on the past. it’s really an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, which we see during their breakup at the end of ep 6.

as someone with an abusive alcoholic of a deadbeat dad whom I disowned, I can very much relate to Dohae. if I had a girlfriend who knows what an awful person my father is and she still continued to have a pseudo-daughterly relationship with him behind my back, I would also see it as a complete betrayal and probably wouldn't be able to forgive her. it takes so much strength to let go of this kind of baggage and cut off your own parent who wronged you, I'm sure it would be even harder in such a traditional family-centered confucianist society. and to have your first love, the person you loved the most who was the only one you could trust and rely on disrespect that must feel horrible. at the same time I can understand Juyeong who is like an abandoned kicked puppy loyal to an abusive man because he was the only one who at least took him in and fed him. it's just the polar opposite trauma response. I don't think people like Dohae's father deserve any kind of coddling or forgiveness though, especially if they don't even try to change or do the bare minimum of apologizing. like my own father, it's like the piece of his brain where empathy should reside is missing. there's only a selfish ego which can do no wrong. no victim should be guilt-tripped into 'forgiving' their abuser. however, for our own sake we do need to learn to let go of the anger and resentment because that will just fester in your heart and turn you into a bitter hollow person too. Dohae's father dying and him finally being confronted with the amount of trauma he'd been carrying thanks to Juyeong enabled him to face all those unresolved feelings and at last start the process of healing from it.

I'm as glad as I am very sad that others can also relate to this series. my abusive father is very much alive but my even more abusive violent alcoholic & adulterer of a grandfather who used to beat up my grandmother and father and left them when he was just 10 very recently passed away. all I felt was relief. granted I had only met him twice and one of those times I was three.. yet he never showed any remorse and at the end of his life he tried to seek contact with me out of this pre-mortem guilt I'm sure when he had never had any interest in who I was my entire life. since I don't even talk to my father anymore I profusely refused to meet him. why would I give the most horrible man I know who caused my family insurmountable generational trauma a get-out-of-jail-free-card to clear his conscious without so much as an apology. I'm as much of an atheist as one can be so I don't have any hope for some fair post-life judgement. at least he knew what I thought of him and still he didn't get half the karmic earthly justice he deserved..

@35:00 be so thankful your mom has everything planned and your sister is the executor. I lost my parents when I was 22 and 30 years old (both were 59) and neither had anything planned. We went while my dad was sick with my grandmother and his sister and two of my siblings so they could plan his funeral and pay for it ahead of time. I entertained dad in the office because I was already watching him slowly die every day and really didn’t want to plan his funeral already. I planned most of mom’s funeral in a notebook while she was sleeping one day and dad was at work. I’m the youngest of six kids and took care of both of my parents. And all the mess that followed afterward with outstanding bills, transferring over names, getting left with a whole big house of their stuff (which I now live in alone). Losing your parents sucks at any age, but the red tape from the government makes it even harder.

something new in BL, academic fraud
