Not long ago Dongbaek stood hesitant at Sunmi's door, not even sure whether to go in. Now he just crosses in, like it's his own. Not long ago, he stood observing her home, her couch, now he's sitting on it, waiting in the dark thinking about when she'd come back. #memorist (1/10)

So first they have Baek say worried husband things to Sunmi, then they give us this shot alluding to the act of undressing. But also the "layers" between them will be peeled off soon. If not physically, then emotionally. (2/10)

Foreplay - #baekmi have bantered enough times in previous episodes for us to know that as harsh as some of it sounds, there's fondness there. Look at the way she's lowkey fishing for compliments. (3/10)

I thought about why this seemed so familiar and then I realised...CLOY. It's very similar to what Dan did with Seungjun right before they kissed. Only #baekmi is snarkier. But you know there's still fondness because her small smile at the end. (4/10)

Him sitting down on the edge of the couch is like him relaxing a bit. The shots here are very tight. Just like when he was about to read Sunmi's mind. Incidentally, this time, in this private space, he's about to reveal HIS past to her. (5/10) #memorist

So when the others arrive, it's 100% like they are intruding on their privacy. They even get Kyungtan to apologise for Baek exhausting her. I must admit I read it in many ways. One, he sounds like a parents apologising to his daughter-in-law, and then the other is...well. (6/10)

In any case they do look like a couple where the husband is in trouble. As people already pointed out...hehe. (7/10)

Maybe this scene looks intimate because DB essentially undressed, his jacket is thrown on her couch, he's closer to her (as compared to the previous couch scene), he's comfortable and leaning TOWARDS her. They're closer now, physically, emotionally. #memorist (8/10)

Not to mention he thought about his first love as he was sitting on the couch. Her couch. Is there more of a link between that girl and Sunmi? Who knows? (9/10)

The kind of significant glances, the domestic feeling...It just carries on throughout whatever happens in Ep 11 and 12. His protectiveness of her, her worry over him, the trust and understanding that has grown between them. It's a subtle buildup - I like it. #memorist (10/10)
