#it's about how dansoo anticipates her desires #and then makes them real #without her even having to first tell him what they are #she walked into the ob-gyn office and saw women with their partners there in support #and though she never states it aloud her reaction telegraphs her longing for the same #and then dansoo walks into the office #she wanted someone there with her and without even asking he's there #this is a running theme with them #when she was upset #dansoo knew to bring her to a place where she could shout out her grievances without her having to tell him that's what she needed #when she missed him he showed up in front of her #like magic #the romantic fantasy here is one in which desire is enough #in which gonghee doesn't have to brave the risks of articulated or acted upon desires in order for hers to be fulfilled #and the type of romantic hero dansoo is #is one where his desire is to fulfill her desires #this dynamic between them manifests in their characterizations #gonghee very rarely tells anyone what she wants or needs #dansoo's one of the few people she ever confides in #one of her most well-known traits is how accommodating she is #meanwhile dansoo is very loud honest and determined about what he wants #his fearlessness in the face of desire plays off of gonghee's hesitance and ambivalence #and because his desire is to fulfill her desires #he prioritizes her when everyone else in her life either overlooks her or is grateful for her tendency to put others before herself #the best thing about dansoo's fearlessness? #the reason he's that way is because it's gonghee #she makes him fearless #what he feels for her—what she makes him feel—makes him fearless
