This is just Kang Seo Joon with Han Ji Woo!! Haha

First of all production wise... immaculate. The scenes that went back and forth between Seo Joon’s life with Ji Woo and his actual life without him were just done splendidly and I can’t wait to reblog all the gifsets that are on this webside. The comedy? Brilliant. Seo Joon threating to jump off the tiny window of the car with his whole grown-ass body? Can’t be compared to anything.

Now plot wise: I am glad to see that the characters are, for now, the same characters we were left with when the first season ended. Their aspirations, insecurities, personalities are still lingering clearly from season one and I don’t have words to express how much I appreciate that (and kudos to the actors because god, truly, the acting is top tier). 

I am very curious to see where the story is leading because I already have some thoughts about the whole ‘I left a note and disappeared’. I am not a fan of and I pray to god they won’t go with the jealousy trope (but seeing how fast they got us figured with the whole ‘dad’ thing, and also because I trust Hwang Da Seol with my life, I’m doubting it).

Now, Kang Seo Joon is one of my all time favorite characters and all I can say is that I aspire to be him someday. Unapologetic, confident, annoying. He’s an icon. He can’t do anything wrong ever. BUT

Ji Woo is such an interesting character and I am not mad at all that they went the whole disappearing route for him because, yeah, I would see that. Ji Woo showed signs since the first season that he is not yet ready to embrace the world fully. Him, having an existential crisis and running one day in the mountains of South Korea because that’s where his parents used to live and because he can live there unperturbed? 

Life there is simple. People there don’t know him, don’t truly know him (like Seo Joon does, because Seo Joon is capable of multiple things but most importantly he reads people like books, Ji Woo especially), so he can life there, surrounded by people he only has to be civil and keep an appearance with. It’s safe, when you still don’t know what you want in life, who you are, what’s your doing.

No, that doesn’t give him the right to hurt Seo Joon like that and I loved the way Seo Joon knows this, knows he deserves better, and I agree that you can end a relationship for whatever reason you want to but you should at least give your partner, if they treated you well, an explanation.

I can’t wait to see how they plan this out and judging by the title, it will be about Ji Woo’s life before he met Seo Joon because he sure had an interesting one. And all I can hope and I know this is how it’s going to be because it just can’t be any other way, is for them to find each other again with open hearts. 

How I see it, now, is that Ji Woo is still of his path to Seo Joon, he just tool a rest, but his path will always lead him there, he just needs to keep walking.
