Am i the only one who doesn't get what Wen sees in uncle Jim š Don't get me wrong i love the show, and i LOVE Heart and Liming, and i quite like Wen's character too, but Jim is just so cold and grumpy and never smiles and i just don't get why Wen is so obsessed with him, like sure the story with his ex is sad but like Heart has a way more traumatic backstory but he's not an ass to people, or Liming whose parents literally left him with an uncle that only fights with him is not half as bitter... I just wish they would have made Jim a bit more likable, or at least relatable like Alan. Sorry for ranting, just needed to get that off my chest š
iām so sorry if my posts making fun of jim made you feel like this blog was a safe space for jim haters but itās not š SHDKSKDJD like iām sorry but i just donāt agree with you, i genuinely adore jim and his character
like for one youāre just wrong. on multiple accounts. for one, jim DOES smile. evidence:
isnāt it beautiful? but i get what you mean, itās not often we get a jim smile. but the man also has a shitton on his plate! he can barely pay his bills, has the diner (which is his LIVELIHOOD) threatening to be shut down, and he has a kid he has to take care of on top of all that. a kid thatās not even his own, mind you.
and when you say heās an ass to people, you mean when he chose not to pay his car insurance and instead bought leng a gold necklace to use for praewās dowry? you mean when he refused to use gaipaās feelings for him to his advantage and returned the title deed because of it, despite the fact he COULD have gotten a loan out of it and saved his business? you mean when he didnāt hesitate to let wen stay with him after he moved out of alanās despite the fact that jim had made it clear from the beginning he didnāt want complicated and yet wen continued to be persistent in fitting himself into jimās life while KNOWING he was still living with his possessive ex? no, youāre right. heās so cold and uncaring and doesnāt give a fuck about the people around him. clearly.
as for li ming and jim, iāve already made a post about this, but everything jim does in terms of li ming is his attempts at protecting him. iām not saying heās going about everything in the right way, lord knows heās not, but NO character in this show does. like i said, wen continued to pursue jim despite the fact that he hadnāt completely cut things off with alan. alan chose to confront them both at the worst possible time because he was fueled by jealousy and anger, he pushed wen and tried to go for jim, too. li ming continues to go behind jimās back and put himself at risk of pissing off people much more powerful than him. leng and praew are starting a family they didnāt originally plan for without a lot of money. the only characters you can argue havenāt donāt anything wrong are heart and gaipa!
the point is. this show is great because the characters are real people. theyāre messy, they do the wrong thing, they hurt the people they love. but at the end of the day, they love each other and are there for each other. thatās the whole point! and jim isnāt any different just because you donāt find him likable enough.
