i'm going to bloom

Now, you’re accusing people of something they didn’t do and trying to hurt them. Is that it? Are you trying to kick someone out again? Is that what you want?

This time I won’t let you go like that. Look, Oh Dusik, I really like you. I really do. I like you so much.

Dad, you know what? When I said I'd quite ssireum, nobody stopped me. To be honest, at first, I thought I'd fake it for few days and then go back if someone tried to stop me. A part of me thought I'd do that. But... no one stopped me. Then, after a couple of days passed by, I felt like I couldn't go back, even if they wanted me to. I realized, to them, that's all I was worth. I'm sorry, Dad.

JANG DONG-YOON as KIM BAEK-DU LIKE FLOWERS IN SAND (2023-2024)

Did you smack me on the forehead yesterday? You did, right? That's why! There was a handprint on my forehead!

they mixed the storylines so well too and made them all come together so well, and the flashback scenes were also written so nicely. and I loved that she didn’t make it to the final match because while baek du did find his sort of strength again because of her, him winning the championship because she was there would have been a disservice to his character. and it was so poetic she finally caught the bad guy and he finally won at the same time completing their individual arcs together which is why there was so over dramatic confrontation later. they’re grown ups and they understood each other and like what’s important.
