My prince is the best.

Honor has never made me happy. All it's ever brought me is misery. All it's ever given me is a burden. I just want to be free. I just want to be with the man I love.

Gonna start a collection of worshippers 👍🏼

This scene is the turning point for Tanrak.

He's ready to end the relationship and choose the "path of God” then they meet in front of the saint to whom Tanrak's mother was devoted, the saint that gave her the gift of his parents love, Tanrak himself, a love so strong they named him after it

Barth tries to argue for his love beyond religion; his love is strong enough to overcome everything, and he wants Tanrak to say that his is too. In a final appeal, he affirms that God created us to love, therefore, their love cannot be wrong, and it's at this moment that I think Tanrak makes his decision.

How could he fear a God who always forgives and who made creatures to love their next? In fact, I have a theory that he feared the priest's reaction more than anything else (beyond religious guilt) but that’s another take

Frame of the week: 5/6

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Corinthians 3, 13-15

From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other. Even if you die in front of me, I won't save you. — Than.

Question: Why are they not fucking?

I mean . . .

They should have done been fucking.

Chet is my favorite character because he is truly the only one willing to let this hospital and family name die if it means his revenge is successful. He truly doesn't give a shit. And I respect the hell out of that.

And then Chet being the one to step in and make sure Park doesn't get shot? Being the one to save his bodyguard the exact way Pheem failed to save Than (and even shot him!)? I love them so much.

Chet has plenty of his own issues but they are his own and they are not the same as Pheem's.

KILL YOUR SHITTY FATHER

(on accident)

This bitch better be dead.

[phobteeapologist]

if i were pheem i'd take the blame like THEY'LL ALL THINK YOU KILLED YOUR ABUSIVE NARCISSISTIC FATHER???? you should be fucking proud

[heretherebedork]

He's covered in blood and all that matters is making sure there's no more. (Pheem shot Than to protect him but Chet ripped the gun out of the bodyguard's hands to make sure Park wasn't shot and they both have cradled their loves in their arms but one caused the bullet and the other has only ever protected him.)

[thisautistic]

[romemok]

[phobteeapologist]

slapping, humiliating and yelling at your grieving child.

One thing I really like about the Wicked Game is the narrative is not shying away from the fact that Pheem was not brought up to be a good person. None of the adults in his life taught him to be good or to be kind, it's all been about revenge and one-upping his siblings and proving that he's strong enough. So I love that his sense of right and wrong is so skewed and they're not shying away from that.

On the flip side Than's sense of right and wrong is extremely rigid. And it's interesting to see them clash.

[phobteeapologist]

coming back here just to say i NEED than and pheem to absolutely despise each other.

I WONT ACCEPT A HAPPY ENDING.
