The other aspect of kdramas that I love but is completely divorced from reality is how MLs are photographed and filmed to gratify the female gaze. See Junho's arms and butt for the latest example. You will not go to Seoul and see streets full of Kang Tae Oh's.

. His performance is one of the reasons this drama is in all time classic.
I'm rewatching
#MyMister
#MyAhjussi
and decided to create a thread of visual storytelling moments I missed the 1st time, like this gorgeous sequence from ep. 1. The tower represents Dong-hoon: seemingly solid but with visible cracks and immeasurable damage beneath the surface.

🧵As promised, here’s my dive into the
#F4ThailandEp9
funeral sequence. It’s the biggest departure so far from the manga & previous adaptations & doesn’t exist in any other version. It’s also hugely important to
#F4Thailand
’s story & themes.
This is so important!! I don't see many people tweeting about the funeral even though it takes up about 20 minutes of the episode, isn't present in any other version, and is hugely important - so stay tuned, gonna dive into that scene when I have a minute

Kavin was so interesting in this episode. The smooth facade came off at the end when he pulls the car over and leans in to kiss Kaning. It was kind of scary and we see that in his own way he's as dangerous as Thyme can be.

adaptation, yes better than Japan's. I said what I said.

213
🧵A big theme of
#F4ThailandEP12
was thwarted desire (sexual & a desire for love). Ex.
#1
is Gorya & Thyme's electric moment in the garden that begins when she cuts her finger & is interrupted when she remembers Lita. (Blood is a fairytale motif & can represent sexual awakening)

🧵People are upset because we haven't gotten a kiss yet in
#F4Thailand
so I researched when we get the first kiss in other versions. First is
#MeteorGarden2018
: Episode 7 of 49, in Ah Si’s bedroom after he saves her from a false red card and bullies at school.
#HanaYoriDango

My initial reaction is that there's a cultural context for My Mister that I think you guys missed. In a lot of ways it's a very culturally Korean drama, more than a lot of other Kdramas. That context informs a lot of the aspects of the story you found frustrating. +
2
53
200
When Ren and Gorya have an almost kiss that she ultimately rejects, they are bathed in sunshine. When she accepts a bloodied and bruised Thyme as her partner, it's at night in the decrepit stadium. This is not a candy colored, sweet love affair. This story is dark.

I got chills when Roselyn's minion says "Mr. Thyme has returned" esp because he's in the animal print he wears when he's closer to his mother & his monstrous side. But he's not wearing a chain around his neck. This is important. This is not the same Thyme.

I realized that every single time Gorya and Thyme have a conversation where they draw closer, it's at night and they are in the dark. In many ways this is not a sweet romance. But I suspect that as the story evolves they will start to come into the light.

Next Kavin teaches Kaning and Gorya a lesson about business. It doesn’t stop because it’s a funeral. This is a huge opportunity/risk for them as well and they had better understand that if they are going to enter this world even as flower sellers

To talk about this a bit more: the writers probably knew that scene in

Of course the moment when Thyme says they aren't in love...is when Lita falls in love with him 💔😭 And the reason why is because Thyme has learned compassion and responsibility through his love for Gorya. A love that's slipping away god my heart

Thyme isn't fighting his responsibility here. He's just turned 18. He's a man. He is representing his family. He understands what needs he needs to do. But Gorya still doesn't fully understand.

This is also a funeral for the childhood of the F4. They are now men. But what kind of men? Men who stand with their families or men who stand for their families? It's sad in many ways but also holds potential for a more humane future
