Yooo, your reviews are *chef kiss*.
You put so many things into perspective, so many things that I missed. I can’t wait for the last episode (or can I..?? I’m literally still shaking 🥴) and your thoughts. I’ll admit I feel a little better about the ending. I didn’t expect for things to come to a head the way they did in episode 4. I still think episode 5 will leave me just as devastated (maybe more since it’s the end.. who knows what they’ll have in store) but maybe in a good way...🥺🤕
thank you so much!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ i’m always like ‘is this making sense????’ like is what i’m thinking in my head actually translating properly when i write it out?? there are just so many intense feelings that this series gives me, and it’s easy to feel those emotions, but it can be hard to match those feelings to words sometimes.
it’s honestly SO easy to miss things on this show (and i’m sure i’ve missed a bunch more too when i was skating through my thoughts on the ep) bc of how well placed and thought out everything is. how so many scenes have multiple meanings and interpretations. but it’s one of the things i love most about it. it’s just so rich in symbolism and detail. nadao has given us a goldmine with this one, and i’m so incredibly grateful bc i can’t remember the last time i felt this invested in a show (prob never tbh).
yes, exactly!! i was expecting angst in ep 4, but the way everything exploded at the end there was intense. i know i might just being super hopeful about the ending (and i wouldn’t put it past them to end things on a sad note too), but if i’m thinking of it from a narrative perspective, it makes most sense for everything to come full circle. teh’s character growth is key to the story, so he needs to come to terms with himself for the full story to feel complete. i think the climax being in ep 4 makes me feel better about the whole thing bc there’s some breathing room in ep 5 for them to piece things back together again. and i like the idea of them starting off as friends and ending as friends (or hopefully more), but wiser from all the lessons learnt. who knows if this will be what happens though...
either way, i’m def with you on ep 5 leaving us all devastated ;;; i will never be prepared for it, and i both can’t wait and am dreading the last ep bc it makes me SO sad even just thinking about how we won’t have this wonderful series anymore after it :(
