*(i'll just say the technical things that i loved in my facebook dump account, and say something personal here cuz... DAMN)

and i can say: i deeply regret but still thankful at the same time.

i deeply regret how i was even audacious to pause viewing this series. in the first place, i was always intrigued by how viral it went for the korean netizens, and how realistic it was—workplace sexism to korean drinking culture. i deeply regret how i wasn't crying that much when i first watched it.

however, i'm thankful with how this fragment that i left gave me the opportunity years later to look back at it. i realized how i relate too much with the yearning for belongingness that jang geurae felt towards the whole series. this hits so hard as a person living in a transactional world where everyone have to inevitably trade something for the sake of attaining that said belongingness.

i see myself in jang geurae's journey in general. i'm thankful for watching this kdrama at this time of the year where i kinda miss being an ABM student. i was so set with being an accountant in my home country. i took 2 years of my senior high school getting used to business jargons, conferences, and projects like how geurae began playing go (바둑) at around 7 years old. ruthless teachers (ahemm!!) and scores (0/25 in that one summative test, and an average of 14/50 in every exams) in the freaking FABM subject made me prepared for the difficulties that i would have to take in my future accountancy scores. those frequent and tiresome imbalances that made me wish that the 'land' account can be depreciated. i was all set.

unbeknownst to me, me being an international student was already planned when i was still crawling in our house floor. and now, i got into a university that did not let me in as a business/commerce student due to how insufficient the math subjects that i took are. now, i'm in social sciences, and eyeing on that psychology program. and all of these happening while i was in a foreign country, feeling like an outsider. it was just like how geurae was pushed into a whole different when he became a trading man.

i just hope that i will get to have geurae's succesful metamorphosis...

i watched this during the first months when the pandemic was "over" and schools are opening up. then i paused, and forgot about continuing it. 3 years later, i FINALLY rewatched everything and finished this series. it has also been about 6 years since i sincerely finished a kdrama, because i was so into thai bl series then kpop then back to bl and gl series as a whole.

and i can say: i deeply regret but still thankful at the same time.

the kim dokja we could've had

The characters are great, the first few episodes are great and very touching, but for some reason I lost interest in this kdrama.
Maybe I'll give it a second chance in the future.
