"Even Though I Acted Normal In Front Of Everyone, But I Was So Lonely When You Were Away."

Lee Wan & Shin Ki Tae happy boyfriends era.

Hwang Daseul, the queen that you are.

The amount of storytelling she achieved in the juxtaposition of Dohoe and Juyeong’s two nights together cannot be overstated. It so clearly shows how different their relationship is. The first scene is sweet and awkward and so full of longing. Most of all at the end they’re cuddled close together.

But in the present it feels so different. It’s more erotic because they’re older and perhaps have more experience. It also that the emotions portrayed are different. Sex is what you can use to get closer; it’s like Dohoe is trying to use this as a shortcut to avoid all the talking and revealing. In the end, they’re no closer and perhaps have driven new wedges between themselves.

They both look to each other, but not at the same time, like gears out of sync. She really uses this moment to show that while they both want and long for each other, they’re not sure how to bridge that 12 year gap. Whatever Dohoe thinks, this isn’t about just unpausing a moment in time.
