Why I Don’t Hate Jaeeon (20 August 21)

Why I don't hate Park Jaeeon 🦋

Misunderstood. The scene with his mom revealed the reason for hi𝘴 fear of rejection and abandonment, twisted views on commitment and love. It explained why he preferred casual relationships, drawing the lines when confronted by uncomfortable truths.


Generosity and love. For someone who doesn’t express himself well with words (unless he was flirting), acts of generosity (things and time) was a special language. He showed NB this countless times (and those around him).


"Because I'm sick of myself". NB saw JE’s vulnerability through some “unfortunate events” that led her to end things with him. When he had nobody to rely on, he kept NB close but not close enough to hurt her. He needed her.


Purple. JE wore it a lot in the drama and webtoon. It's a clever way to explain his character - generous, creative, mysterious and independent. I have had faith since the beginning.


Another love confession. After all NB’s constant rejection, he tried again. after their museum date, he said “I saw someone so beautiful here that I fell in love at first sight”. NB assumed it was somebody else. He tried. 


Hurt people hurt people. Ep 9. I saw the pain of the unexpressed love, unresolved conflicts, misunderstood intentions and all the fears came rushing in that rainy night. Only a sincere guy will go that far.

All Love Languages (22 February 22)

That love languages edit would fit Jaeeon and Nabi so well, because:  1) Words of affirmation 2) Quality time 3) Physical Touch (Probably will be the longest I mean, this is *their* love language) 4) Gift Giving 5) Acts of Service doramaticbites Even the gifts Park Jaeeon gives to Yoo Nabi shows his intention. -MIU MIU dress: he's with her on her special day -Butterfly suncatcher: he wants to be her home  -Jewellery set: what's broken, let's make it fixed -Butterfly bracelet: situation change, still cherish her eliswija

Bittersweet - Nevertheless Review (21 October 22)

Image
  A not so mainstream drama with a bittersweet storyline. A story that is more aligned to what happens in real life. It was interesting to watch how characters succumbed to their desires even though they knew it might be wrong. I have read so many negative reviews for this one but I actually don't understand why people find it not interesting. The main leads are beautiful together; their chemistry and the sexual tension throughout keeps you on edge. Even the side characters have a good story. Song Kang as Park Jae Eon played a bad boy which is not so common. We need to understand that not everything is white or black. People exist even in the grey belt. He never once disrespected or harmed Nabi. He never promised any commitment to her. It's all expectations. Maybe if they showed more of his past; we would've understood why he was afraid of commitment. He never received love; his mom left when he was 10. The lack of his past made him seem more toxic. He was wounded and could...

Jaeeon Learning to Open Up (11 October 21)

Image
Looking back, I wonder how it felt to be JE here. JE was not lying when he said she knew him so well, because his heart was so locked, the only ounce that he showed was to her. But NB didn't know that. Opening up about the rawest parts of ourselves takes time. That little pause and then smile is very characteristic of him. The way he answers when it's difficult to answer. And I do believe his only answer to her disappointment was to communicate and offer more of himself through touch. It’s easy to see how this show was promoted and think that it was about gratuitous sexuality. However when you watch it, intimacy where portrayed, was used to progress the story, give insight to characters. He couldn’t rely on touch forever, and part of his growth was to learn to use words, however inadequately. And for her, it was to be brave to ask the right questions and meet him halfway. Change that took time and still takes time, but that both endeavour to. doramaticbites
