Natsume Soseki’s Line as Foreshadowing (12 October 21)

 "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" is a translation for "I love you" coined by Natsume Sōseki.

As we follow NB's journey, we share her skepticism of JE's intentions and feelings for her.

Ep.1 is a great depiction of just how strange and nerve-wracking meeting someone new can be. It depicts the nervousness, sweaty palms and stolen glances that come with the unknowns of your heart racing for someone new. JE has his intentions with NB, but neither of them can truly being to understand or fathom the extent to which their feelings may grow, and how complicated and messy their path towards discovering them will be. Neither of them can ever imagine that this will be love. 

This sort of foreshadowing makes so much sense with Sōseki's translation because of how difficult it is for these two to be honest about their feelings, both with themselves or the other, but those feelings are still there, nevertheless.

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

Sex and Agency II (23 December 21)

Image
Exactly. In my draft analysis of Nabi’s dialogue, I had the same notes about Nabi’s line post coitus “But it was so good.” For the audience to have been given this bit of information is an implication that the sex must not have been good with her ex. Something that makes absolute sense because Nabi's ex couldn’t be bothered about her happiness both in and out of the bedroom.  In this scene, he did not give her the liberty to choose whether or not she wanted the condom -- he manipulated her into not using one. Nabi actually and finally enjoying sex (with JE) to the point of looking forward to it the day after the first (fixing her hair, buying beer, thinking about sex and feeling dejected when JE said he came to study) was a major step towards reclaiming her agency. "Let's just sleep." "Already?" "Yes." "Already?" "Yes. I'm sleepy." Two layers of meaning/subtext of "Already?" being asked twice: Nabi wanting to be in...
