There’s so much potential, it’d be a gold mine for side stories even if she doesn’t make it part of the main story!
I’m also really curious about how (or if?) she will handle same-sex dating in homophobic Korea, especially since Joowon is a major celebrity. Will they be in the closet? Seems like Haesoo was already outed, or presumed to be gay with all of the rumors and speculation with T and his notorious flings with his models. Authors really skirt around this subject, especially as it relates to characters with a high profile.
This would be a wonderful side story, especially the week in Spain. There is so much material for the author to keep going. I think they will stay in the closet, it would be too difficult to be open about their relationship because of their high profile. I was even thinking about the possibility of a collaboration with Taku in a shoot to promote their later work, maybe it's too soon jejejeje but I hope they can all be at peace and happy.
I want the first time they were apart and then when they reunited though! I want to see a glimpse of all of that before this ends. These little flashes were not enough.
Yes, their time in Spain as well would be nice, but I'm so curious about the other part because how did they go from platonic to being like they were again. How did they find each other? I keep writing FF secretly because it's driving me insane about that time period. lol
something i really really want to see: flashback of when joowon hit his career low and felt like giving it all up, but haesoo was there for him and helped him through it. we got like 2 panels of this... but that's simply not enough T A T
also!! in joowon's scene when he's photographed by taku and is told to "feel loss", there's this single panel of him back hugging haesoo, and theyre wearing the SAME OUTFITS as the one regarding his career low moment. i seriously want to get the full story on this huhuhu-- especially because we never presently see haesoo supporting or caring for joowon emotionally in the story?? especially after the breakup, jw is shown to consistently protect haesoo and show him a lot of care... but it's lost in the writing with haesoo doing the same thing, at least until around the end. it makes their r/s look more one sided than it actually is according to this story.
Yes, it would mean a lot to get this perspective of their relationship! I feel like we got just little bits and inferences of all the times Haesoo was there and taking care of Joowon. I especially wanted to see the events surrounding Joowon’s descent and Haesoo pulling him back together. Like when Haesoo was entranced by Joowon’s billboard, remarking that he hadn’t seen J wear that (vulnerable, wistful) expression in a long time. I think author really wanted to emphasize how Haesoo was struggling, and feeling resentful in the beginning of the story. In her way of peeling back the layers and showing alternating perspectives and revelations (of which still make sense), I hope we get this side shown to us. Maybe via Haesoo’s bestselling book or Joowon playing out the adapted screenplay, of their “simple love story”. I love seeing them be tender with each other!
As much as I want to see Haesoo’s present for Joowon, and of course the long-anticipated reappearance of the ring, I really hope the story doesn’t just end there.
I want to see so much more of them during the 3-year time skip, “the frightfully busy days, dreadful longing and steadfast love”. Haesoo’s life and work in Spain, juxtaposed with Joowon’s time in Korea to catch up on hobbies, learn a new language for acting career.
It’d be so great to explore the “ordinary love story” side to their relationship that we haven’t seen before through Haesoo’s book as he’s drafting it. He’d be sipping espresso (I just know he’d get hooked) at some charming cafe, making a few new friends, blushing to refer to his book alluding to Joowon, finding new inspiration from new sights and sounds.
Phone sex? Yeah, love it please give it to me!
Joowon said he wasn’t doing much during the hiatus, just enjoying a break during that interview. With his healthy build and sun- kissed skin, I pictured him learning how to surf, getting really good at it cause he’s so strong and good at sports. Maybe some tennis or joined a basketball team with a new celebrity circle like the padding squad(?) stuff. I also want to see some filming in Helsinki!
Also, Joohae’s week in Spain, the date night(s) at the octopuse restaurant, strolling around taking in the sights in the evening, holding hands.
Did I mention joohae phone sex, come on it’s only logical!
