Chillin' Like A Villain

“to be honest, i didn’t really feel pressured (to shoot the scene) but i’m sure joohyuk-ie must have been pressured. the director approached it very carefully. there’s a certain of level of expression (required), right? he approached it very carefully. in fact, heedo had nothing to worry about. heedo’s emotional state was the same because she was still in her teens and she was in the process of becoming an adult, but joohyuk-ie and the director had a lot to consider and they had to approach it carefully.” 

Episode 5

WAIT A MINUTE okay?

You are telling me Baek Yijin didn't have to worry about the nature of their relationship because he ALREADY knew he was falling in love with her?

Heedo gets this really beautiful closure scene at the end of the episode, but it's one sided. Also we, as the audience, get no closure.

I've spent eight weeks getting to know these characters, coming to care for them, and frankly, falling in love with them. And yet I don't get to know where they ended up. All I know is that 2022 Heedo spends 95% of her time feeling nostalgic and melancholic. She has a shop named after a failed relationship. She's married to a nobody ( as far as we are allowed to know) man who is for some reason abroad.... for what seems like an extended period of time, even though the lack of time spent together was one of Heedo's reason to break up with Yijin.

But also WHAT ABOUT YIJIN?? Did he ever find anyone else? Is he still single and dreaming about his first love? Did he develop healthy coping mechanisms? Does he have friends outside of work? Does he have a support system outside of his immediate family and work colleagues? Are he and Seungwan still friends because she's with his brother?

Is Seungwan still with his brother? Did she learn to love her job? Or even better, find a job that that is worthy of her and somewhere she's appreciated? Are her and Ji Woong still friends?

Are Ji Woong and Yurim still married? How is his website going? Why had him Seungwan not seen each other for so long before the funeral? Do he and Yurim have kids?

How is Yurim's academy going? Are her and Heedo still best friends? Was Heedo her Maid of Honor? Is she still friends with Yijin?

WHY DID HEEDO HAVE YIJIN'S PHOTO??

There are so many unanswered questions that I, as someone who cares for and loves these characters, believe I deserve to know.

twenty five twenty one; ep 5

do you know what else is so crazy and beautiful about this very scene and the camera directing here? it is the fact that yijin knew he could cross the line because he now realized how much heedo really meant to him, that, even by just her existence, it already gives him every comfort he's pursuing in life. that, she is his safe place.

and also the fact that yijin now realized he's brave enough to get up once again to face the reality and strive for what he always been wanting. so he decided to take her hand, be by her side, while running towards their dream together. all for his sake, and for heedo's.

"i'm going to your world." -na heedo

still, i think the audience gave us a lot of love because na heedo and baek yijin were so pretty. during pre-promotion, we called it "the story of everyone's first love" but it was much more beautiful than that. the relationship between the two was so special and beautiful that i wonder who has ever had such a first love. heedo was really lovely and baek yijin was a really warm person.

i think that's why people who support the two naturally wanted the story to end in marriage. if i were part of the audience, i would have too. i'm sorry to everyone who gave us so much love. i'm sad too."
