Moments from Soul Mate I've been rotating in my mind all weekend, with no sign of stopping any time soon:
"From the moment I saw him, I knew I wanted him to live" "I wanted my last sight before I die to include him" "If you're here, I want to live longer" lines of dialogue that make ME wanna die actually
Johan opening his phone and seeing both his sister and Ryu desperately reaching out and asking if he was okay, and him choosing to call Ryu back first
The only real physically intimate moments of the show being Ryu hugging Johan and Sumiko when they're upset to comfort them and how he clearly has a go to of letting them bury their heads in his shoulder
(because Ryu is a loving person and I love him and I think his character is being slept on and that makes me sad)
The concept of a surprise drop in visit to Japan BRUHHHH
Johan's nervous back and forth glancing when Ryu is looking at his sketch
"Is that too long or too short?" "Too long" & Johan's happy face after
(I just lowkey love a lot of the cinematography of this show)
"You're the one person I didn't want to see me like this"
Entire mud conversation, really
All the times Ryu was doing something else and when Johan called he immediately abandoned it
"Next time, give me a heads up" "Next time?" "Yeah, next time"
Johan's face when he turned around for one last look and saw Ryu standing there watching him leave (and Ryu holding back tears but Johan couldn't see it)
and Ryu not waving back because the entire scene he's unable to say goodbye, even til the end
Ryu and Johan's excitement both times Johan hit the baseball id bet my life that that was real reactions from Ok Taecyeon and Hayato Isomura
Ryu teasing Johan and Johan's affectionate annoyance
Ryu, Johan, and Sumiko all going to the daycare and Ryu and Johan saying they also want to be Kanau's guardians like shoot me dead that's some of the sweetest shit I've ever seen
Johan watching Ryu and Ryu's dad fish with heart eyes
Ryu watching Arata jump while Sumiko is watching the video is obvi devastating but an insanely good shot
That moment where Johan is getting discharged and walking down the mountain alone, and Ryu is walking up a mountain and it looks like he's surprising Johan, i fell for that fakeout hook line and sinker
Ryu laughing at Johan turning away to drink when they're with Ryu's parents after their previous conversation
Johan taking Ryu along when he claimed his freedom, and Ryu tackling the Shithead before he could hit Johan, and Johan's face, and Ryu grabbing Johan by the hand and them running out together
This show so clearly showing Johan's absence in Ryu's life. Also the chair had "fruit chair" on it which made me laugh
Ryu hanging the sketch Johan did of him in their apartment WDYMMMMMMMM (Sumiko clocking that was so funny)
All the layers of Johan calling his meeting Ryu a miracle, not just bc of how unlikely it was to happen but because of how lifsaving it was for the both of them
"You have a kid?" "Yeah I do"
Ryu finding Johan's notebook when I tell you I cried at just the shot of it being there---
"Next time it's your turn to visit me in Korea" "That's true" and then Ryu having already purchased his flight when they're talking after Johan's discharged
Ryu having effectively the rest of his life planned out and then finding out Johan was sick and immediately abandoning every single thing to go be with him
Johan constantly drawing Ryu and scolding him for moving during it
THE LAST LINES OF DIALOGUE OF THE ENTIRE SHOW BEING THEM SAYING I LOVE YOU TO EACH OTHER IN EACH OTHER'S LANGUAGE I AM GOING TO CHEW GLASS
