The only good thing about THE TRAUMA THAT ENDING GAVE ME LIKE ARE MY FEELINGS A JOKE TO YOU- *ahem* the only good thing is the fact that at least now I'm personally sure this story won't end in tragedy. Yes, something did happen to Jihyun, but this won't be a repetition of Jaewon's trauma, of Jaewon's powerlessness, because this is a story about healing and I believe it with my whole heart.
Jihyun is not here to make Jaewon sink deeper into the darkness, he's here to bring him light. He's here to help him forgive himself for failing to protect his brother, the one person that meant the world to him, by succeeding in protecting Jihyun, the one person that means the world to him now. Jihyun is here to close the wound in Jaewon's heart that is still bleeding after all this time, after all these years, and help him let go of all that grief, all that sorrow. Jihyun is here to set him free, and that's why he's gonna live. Jihyun is gonna live, and Jaewon will also finally start to.

Very much inspired by Holly Warburton’s illustrations, which I absolutely adore.
Hyung, you are not acting like yourself. Hey, what’s acting like myself? That’s up to you.
THE EIGHTH SENSE (2023) dir. Inu Baek & Werner du Plessis
The Untamed + Mo Dao Zu Shi + my own interpretation character redisgns - I’ve always disliked one thing or another about each adaptation’s design choices so I made my own as an amalgation of them all + my own flair. I love designing characters so much and I wanted to make them moredistinct from each other~
*you could do a combination of these or none of these regularly, I’m just asking what your favorite is!
This bitch really skipped the first wetsuit cause it could be easily zipped from the front and he wanted to homoerotically help Jihyun wear it instead... JAEWON STAND UP!!!
Hii!!!
Your thoughts on the eighth sense, ji hyun represented with lighter colors and jae won with darker colors are sooooo valid!!!
the utter joy of finding this out in one of my favorite shots,,,,,,, the color of the seats on ji hyun and jae won's side!!!! I'm flying!!! this is ecstatic!!!!!!
You're amazing🥰
@how-to-be-a-tree,
I merely observed that their clothing showed their balance of light and dark (the nature of Yin and Yang)
And others have picked up on the use of light to showcase Ji Hyun bringing light to Jae Won's dark world
Like in the dark library scene
Where Ji Hyun is the light source down the hall
Others have noted that queer stories tend to be told in the darkness because that is a safe space away from the harshness of light
But I think this show is trying to tell us that Jae Won, who has hidden so much of himself that he is constantly living in the dark, must step out into the light and be open, and Ji Hyun is the light that encourages Jae Won to live his truth.
So you showing me that the seats are color-coded, when the reflections showed them as having no color even though Ji Hyun's backpack and stickers on his briefcase remained colored
Is truly a delightful revelation, not only because the seat coloring was intentional, but also the green light to indicate which side the doors will open lights up on Ji Hyun's side AROUND HIM!
Ji Hyun is the color in Jae Won's black and white world. Ji Hyun is light in Jae Won's darkness. Ji Hyun is Jae Won's exit to a fresh start. Everything Jae Won wants is within reach; he just has to move.
