mr heart having a conflict that makes narrative sense let’s fucking gooooooooo

this is also super efficient storytelling given the time constraint and how well flashback is used not to slow down the present’s progression but to speed it up

the super soft “you made me spill it” during the milk scene goodBYE

wait i wasn’t expecting the convo that ensued kind of want to hit jinwon for that being his only reaction to sangha telling him about his childhood but sangha was so happy who am i to judge

“the mood gets either sad or erotic whenever you talk” LMAO

jinwon expecting sangha to stop delivering milk even after he knows sangha does the route to pay off his mother’s debts....he’s an ass lol i feel like the characterization of being obtusely focused on sports could be way more charming if jinwon’s actor was a bit better but alas

wait is the implication that jinwon already had the money lined up for sangha and that’s why he was pushing him so much...perhaps i will forgive him just this once...

love typical kdrama trope of a woman having to teach an emotionally constipated man how to process basic human feelings in a productive way (that was sarcasm but i genuinely prefer that it does this instead of following the bl trope of token woman being a threat to main pairing)

sangha not wanting to pollute the way he’s associated a love of running with a love for jinwon by using pacemaker earnings for his mother’s debts but then the loan sharks using that exact goodness against him to still get what they want. kind of makes me want to cry lol

w-was the punch necessary...is my mr heart hot take going to be my love sick hot take...once sangha and jinwon break up he realizes jinwon was a jerk and goes on to live his best gay life with a guy who is not emotionally constipated and stupid

JINWON DOING HIS HAIR FOR THE DATE I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I JUST SAID

(his line about being rivals and wanting sangha to be his own person was also good and earned and i respect him for that but he has to tone down the punching and dial up the expressing basic human emotions bit for me to think he’s worthy of sangha!!!!)

my stomach is hurting in the best way thank you mr heart for making /me/ feel basic human emotions

wish jinwon had a personality but im happy sangha was given this much characterization in such a small time frame :”) i love that he was impulsive but disciplined, prideful but playful, earnestly honest but guarded, loving and unafraid to ask to be loved back. /I/ love him so <3
