Nabi is not Weak (27 Apr 22)

Yoo Nabi is not a weak character thread :


To start this, lemme remind you that Nabi knew what she was doing.

She's aware from the start what she was getting into.


Knowing what you do is not for self-blaming when things go wrong.

"It's my fault for believing ..."

Please change this perspective.


But to remind you that you are smart enough to know what you want and to enjoy the journey, even when you do know how is the ending


She did it cause she liked him. Is it wrong for wanting to be with someone you like? No!!! Not at all. Go with whoever you want And Nabi decided to end things because she knew she didn't get what she wanted. A label she's so smart to run away from him when she felt like didn't like it.


Unlike her past relationship with her toxic ex, Nabi had full control on this relationship with Jae Eon. What Nabi wants Nabi gets.


"She got swayed a lot by PJE"


Give my girl some slack 🥺

She was dealing with trauma and learnt to know what she really wanted, and she was just being cautious about it.


She's not weak for going back with someone she likes, even when she has many questions in her head.


I didn't read the webtoon version, but I heard Nabi was still dealing with her trauma even though she ended up with DH.

She felt anxiety whenever DH talked to someone. It's understandable since dealing with trauma is not easy.

You will start doubting everyone and everything.


Honestly I was expecting an open ending. Nabi choosing 'herself' and end up with no one


But I didn't expect that she could overcome things quickly. She let go of her past, and started to trust someone.

She knows what she wants, she chooses what makes her happy.

Therefore Nabi is brave.


I was so sad when people cut this clip where Sohee was asked what would she say to Nabi, and she said

"Nabi, come to your senses".


People made fun of it and said Sohee hated Nabi for being with PJE. But it's actually the opposite.



"It's okay to fall deeply in love with someone and get your heart broken, if it's just once in your lifetime"


Sohee wanted Nabi to love someone she loves, and stop running away from her feelings.

Nabi’s Sculptures and Growth (20 January 22)

Image
I found myself going back to Ep 2 and 3 -- episodes so pregnant with subtext, I'm itching to write about them. This scene in particular spoke about the gap between JE and Nabi at this time, the sculpture representing Nabi's internal struggle that comes between them.  Between them was the sculpture of a woman, bare and vulnerable, rough and seemingly unfinished. Its body facing towards Nabi's direction, like a symbol that Nabi needed to face her biggest nemesis -- her own self -- before she can finally close the gap between them. Nevertheless, towards the end, Nabi was able to conquer herself and bridge the gap between her and JE, the sculpture no longer between them but behind them, its wings spread wide open as if about to fly.  The room no longer blanketed with the shadows of doubt and hesitancy but rather illuminated by certainty. Because at last, they were able to realize that what keeps on leading them back to each other has always been what they have kept denying them...

Sex and Agency I (23 December 21)

Image
Not only did this show that it was ok for a girl to have a sex dream, it was good because she was so clearly pleasured. Coming from a relationship where she had to pleasure someone else at the risk of her own enjoyment and safety, this is what NB longs for. But more than that, what she longs for becomes reality. And lying in his arms after, she finds herself thinking, it was good. Her wonder causes you to think that perhaps it was never really that good before. And then you realise that while  JE barges in and corners her for a kiss in her dream, in reality he was about consent, about waiting for the go ahead, about stopping to check if he could continue. Ep 2 is good in its own, but even better in light of Ep 3. doramaticbites

Not Love at First: Learning Love (06 November 21)

Image
When JE was in the gallery, he was drawn to NB, but I don't think he realised that it was love at first sight. I think it was after Ep 6, when he spoke to KH and his mum, that he was fully able to evaluate and acknowledge his feelings. While he didn't involve himself with other girls (remember, there was nothing on with Seol-A) after his kiss with NB, I believe it was during the time in Ep 6 that he realises what he felt at the beginning when he first saw her. Fully committing, Ep 7 onwards we see him try over and over again to convey those feelings. Then in Ep 8, he saw how paralysed NB was at the gallery, but he also knew there was a painting there she wanted to see. So he gently encourages her to move forward. And when he does, NB is able to focus on her project, not her past. In the cafe again he tries to convey his true feelings, acknowledging that it was to the extent that he fell for her at first sight. Though he's weaker at verbal expression, he goes all in. JE ne...
