just some thoughts that occurred as s1 has wrapped up (satisfactorily, imo):
- it's interesting how secx is used as a theme to explore the characters' attitudes.
nanjo & mok dynamic (moths to a flame)
- it reminds me of the fubu-catching-feelings trope w the caveat of opposites attract. nanjo agreeing to the (arguably) nonsensical contract w mok catalysizes this; nanjo being a businessman (?; atleast a person in authority) should know that mok's contract is absolute bs, exploiting his stubborn morals-- he agrees anyway. for whatever rationalization he says out loud, he was of sound mind to refuse but he doesn't. i wanna be a nosy bi*** & say he was atleast attracted to mok (i want to think it was mok's boldness/forwardness that is diff from seonhwa, he is still experimenting so i understand wanting to see what allat) which is why their dynamic grew. the flame, in question, the eventual romantic relationship. there's a whole song and dance unique to them and their chemistry is electric. i like that they do reinvigorate an aspect of their respective characters (chapter 25 - 27), mok experiences genuine emotion for another while nanjo being of genuine interest by someone (other than his money). we do get only mok's perspective, these are simply my inferences.
can't wait for the next seasoonnn now that seonhwa will be out of the picture (thank you authornim)
