THE DEVIL JUDGE REWATCH Episode 1 ▹ A Monster Emerges in Turbulent Times

When Gaon finds an annoyed Yohan after they've rescued Elijah from Juk Chang's thugs, he tries to convince him that Yohan is a human being and needs to "rely" on someone to live.

The subtitles on Viki use "lean" instead.

And Yo Han does realise that he desperately wants to "rely" or "lean" on Ga On when the going gets tough in his plan. It's made dramatically clear when he very deliberately hangs on to Ga On in the break up scene.

Yohan is gripping Ga On by his shoulder but also trying to keep him in one place. In this case, with him. At his side. In his house. In his life.

As the scene progresses, he takes his hand away for a moment but is quick to lean on Ga On once more. He just can't bear to lose touch.

My gosh...there are literally no words to describe this apart from Yo Han being CLINGY here. Literally. He's only just found his "someone" whom he wants to "rely" or "lean" on. Ga On is his Someone. He makes Yo Han feel like a human being. He makes Yo Han want Someone for himself. He's Yohan's.

Alas, like the crisis point in any great love story we get this instead.

Yo Han loses his Someone. His Someone to rely on. His Someone to lean on. His Someone who makes him feel like a human being. His Anchor. His Ga On.

This show honestly. They literally showed us that words give rise to feelings that influence actions. Similarly, actions can give way to words and affect what a person ends up feeling.
