When your boyfriend is down bad.

episode 9 

[shapeofsympathy]

A 30 year old man receives a hug

its interesting to see how much physical affection that isn’t sex impacts lee. 

I had seen many discussions around not wanting to see the two of them having sex because it felt like an invasion of privacy and things along those lines. I can understand that, but I think sex, especially for Lee, is a big part of the narrative. He had been used to a certain type of sex-one without feelings and basically whatever he could get considering his position as a gay man in a conservative country. This depiction is pretty accurate for a lot of gay men. I think having physical affection such as getting hugs is such a big deal for him because it is a level of intimacy he isn’t used to; Yuri cares for him and hugs him because he wants him to feel better. Therefore, I think the author shows them having affection AND sex to show how Lee is being impacted by love and affection in areas he isn’t used to getting them in.

I don't think there is any doubt now about what Yuri has become to lee. Lee is just as startled as Yuri to find themselves caring for each other and depending on one another.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he isn’t past jung ho yet i fear ( or what jung ho represents) , evident by how he’s afraid of his touch. yuri on the other hand was able to accept his nonas touch. hopefully jiri will reach that point *perhaps after visiting ‘A’*

[shapeofsympathy]

also he’s an awful liar 💀💀 “ oh it’s cause ur hand is sweaty”

[shapeofsympathy]

the hesitation tells me he probably remembers yuri’s words about coming to him instead of drinking… and he found himself back to yuri

[shapeofsympathy]

the next episode will be sweet or absolutely devastating i can feel it 🫣

[shapeofsympathy]

new art drop fellas 

im taking jiri’s annoyed look as a sign of love idc 

[shapeofsympathy]

they r texting now ! jiri is modernizing 

[shapeofsympathy]

... his little nervous sweat whenever Yuri hits on him <3

[shapeofsympathy]

I LOVE THIS MAN. I need to be him.

hes so nonchalant telling his friends that he be dating their old teacher, that he likes an older person, and that person is a man. 

[shapeofsympathy]

SO IT CONTINUES !!! 

I sort of wanted to this continuation to fast forward into their future together but this series likes to really dive into how someone ( jiri ) overcomes a difficult situation. 

I’m loving that Yuri is recognizing what we all have been for a while now - HE LOVES JIRI ! 🖤

Im really curious about how their relationship will continue in the future considering that 

- jiri doesn't have a job

- they are living together 

-yuri told his friends about jiri 

-jiri is still in contact with his old/still? crush 

- Yuri will perhaps have to go the military next year :/

apparently next week is the last episode ? ….. 😢
