i’ll be so dissapointed that if two of the characters will became official couple and other character got wasted on(especially mitsu since i’m pretty fond of him) it’s either that three of them mess with eachother equally or no messing together at all. this kind of love triangle is rare so i’d like if it’s kept chaotic and messy rather than focusing to became fluff of actual couple
damn how fcking old is jae to have 33 years connection with someone
yeah i just looked up and first season was going on 2019, since it’s almost been 3 years passed by he is supposed to be 44 if he is born in 1978. but they really hyped him pretty much for a child i though he must be at least in his late teens or earlier twenties and would be in his late 50s currently
they say hatred eventually turn into obsession. i get the same vibe from compton. there are ppl saying he is interesting in garam but it came out to me that he is just curious about how come he get to be this special to jae. maybe even internally resentful about how he didn’t got to became that person, professor’s garam. he don’t hate prof but maybe just frustared about why those eyes never softened on him?
i get that love can be intense too and too much passion don’t ruin jae and garam’s care for eachother but still seeing gentle, comforting love of these two made my heart flutter i’m ngl maybe it’s because will is finding comfort in garam because of his own presence but jae himself is putting him into place of beloved one he lost long ago. i love garam sm and he genuinely deserves to be loved for who he is not who he is resembles to
He’s loved bc he resembles the manager and that has never been the case… he shares maybe personality traits but that doesn’t mean the prof loved him because of that.
He has been loving Garams journey, it’s his jewel, his boy, his friend, his mentor (daddy), lover… something he never experienced with the manager so..nope
well even if it’s not said outrightly, there are pretty much hints. like how he shared his music piece with manager first but declaring it as, as if he shared with garam first. this might be something he doesn't want to correct since he already considers Garam as the manager. and even the moments when he starts to look at Garam that way begin with people pointing out how much he resembles the manager and even he himself said it himself “i’m not losing you again,” while being intimate with garam. i’m not questioning jae’s love, he is down for garam but that love is toxic until he learned to let go his past. it’s undertsandable that someone stoic as him learning to be vulnerable with that person first so it’s hard to forget him and wants to see him in someone else but that means he’ll get irritated when garam don’t act like manager. and we see this moments pretty much as well. like how he don’t like when garam don’t act cute or cheerful as usual.
Everyone has a different opinion. I read and kind of understand what you mean but I don’t see it that way.
“I’m not losing you again” could have been not for the manager but what they shared, the intimacy, the complicity…
The faceless manager is the peaking anxiety of the professor. Therefore, because he has experienced losing someone who was warm and kind, he is afraid of losing that with someone he has truly learned to love. That’s why he is conscious of Garam’s expression, the way he reacts, taking picture so he doesn’t become a memory of what could have been but rather something that has been. That he is real, what they are having is real. Maybe at the very beginning it reminded him of the manager, but for sure he is not anymore.
He wants to find his face so he can let go that idea of someone kind that he treated miserably by maybe looking at the face of the person he hurt he finds some sort of acceptance or that he deserves to be loved by Garam. I think that’s why he thinks of the manager bc he know he has been an asshole with everyone…
Good discussion tho :)
Yeah that’s why I don’t get that feeling.
He’s not a replica, I think that’s why (as you mentioned) he “stopped” being cute and makes sense Garam is growing professionally, mentally, and socially. He has been evolving and by other comments it will continue… so that’s why for me he cannot and doesn’t resemble a past memory








why do they keeps saying that he is straight when he has a bf helloo, do bisexuals with women preference not exists in bls?? i kinda can let go off this one since it’s released way back than but this is still pretty big mindset issue in bl genre. it’s either that you are miserable and self aware gay or “i’m straight but just gay for you,” closeted partner. being bi is illegal or smthg
