random thoughts about run on, episode seven

(please do note that this post contains spoilers so read at your own risk.)

one thing’s for sure in this episode: the scenery is beautiful, especially bang bae jeong’s house

talking about bang bae jeong, i’m so happy they showed more of her throughout the years. it was interesting to see how she influenced ki seon gyeom.

the greatest example is a flashback of bae jeong beating up a colleague (seon gyeom’s coach) because he kept making advances at her. she wasn’t afraid of using violence to protect herself, even if that meant no longer being a coach

like mi joo pointed out, she didn’t quit on her own accord, she was forced out (because of the incident mentioned in previous point) so maybe she’ll come back to teach the kids? i don’t know but i’m curious to see how this will evolve in the future

guys. my otp is yeong hwa x seon gyeom 💗 they’re so cute and funny together. i’m glad they’re getting scenes together

“you sweet man. now i want to take advantage of you.” yeong hwa is an idiot, but he’s my idiot

park may is also one of my favorite characters. she’s the best middleman/hypewoman (don’t ask me what i meant by that, i understand myself and that’s what matters the most lol)

i really like that we get to see a lot of seon gyeom’s family in this show because we can understand as time goes by how complicated it is to grow up in such an environment. you see ki jeong do (father) using his wife and daughter’s achievements for his own fame & reputation. but with seon gyeom, nothing... radio silence. that’s why he resents his son even more. because he can’t create the perfect father & son picture with him

going back to the beginning of the episode when mi joo called seon gyeom a baby, and talking to bang bae jeong about how naive he is. and then, mi joo compares seon gyeom to translating (which earns bonus points from me because i like a show that puts translation at its core). he is harder to understand than a 2 hour foreign movie. and that says a lot about their relationship. mi joo is trying her hardest to understand such an odd character (aka seon gyeom) but sometimes, no matter how much effort she puts in, it’s almost impossible to understand him. giving the scenarist (is that what they’re called?) lots of 💓 for that

this post is a mess i’m sorry for whoever might read this 💔

some of my favorite scenes are the ones between seon gyeom and his father. now that he (seon gyeom) has finally made the decision on his own, you can see how he has evolved because now he’s honest with his father. he tells him the truth straight to his face.

“the problem is you” (seon gyeom to his father) / “it’s my life father” / “do you think this entire family is some kind of tool you can use to your own advantage?” / “stop using me as the means to fulfill your dream” some statements that can only be the truth

seon gyeom running then adjusting his pace so he can walk in rhythm with mi joo 💖

seon gyeom coaching the kids was so cute. you can see he’s still fairly new to it and is a little bit “nervous” (i want to use another word but can’t find it) and then you see bang bae jeong coming in and saving the day :)

that shot of dan ah and yeong hwa being still while everything around them moves quickly was beautiful 💕

yook ji woo’s face when she sees her husband coming out of nowhere was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 i feel you madam

mi joo standing up to ki jeong do and choosing to take seon gyeom with her was such a cool moment. i want more of it!

#a lot of character backstories in this episode and i can't be more grateful #i can now understand some characters a bit more #i still wish there were more moments where mi joo talks about her job #because these last few episodes you can only see her translate and not share her thoughts about it #i'm a little bit disappointed by that :(#i want to know even more about bang bae jeong #i think her story is worth sharing #kdrama #run on #random(al) thoughts
