Hello again, this is from anon who asked your top fav moments from killer and healer.
First of all, thanks to you I started killer and healer, and I loved it. Thank you so much for your blog. When I found your blog, I already fed up with k-drama rom-com (and het romance drama in general).
Are all your favorite drama in your pinned post are bromance (with shippable characters dynamics)?
If you don't mind me asking again, what do you think are Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi’s greatest personality strengths and weaknesses? Why? What do you love about their dynamic? Sorry if you've answered these questions before.....
You started Killer and Healer because of me?
(Don't mind me, I'm a puddle of happy goo)
Anyways, you're so welcome! I'm glad my blog could bring you joy!
As for my pinned post, yes, they are all bromances with shippable character dynamics (there are three kdramas as well, The Devil Judge, Beyond Evil, and Chimera but I just don't write fics/headcanons for them anymore).
And I don't mind you asking at all! I love talking about Killer and Healer and Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi and all of them. I love this drama a completely normal amount (lying) so if you have questions about it, fucking send them my way.
As for your question about strengths and weaknesses...
Jiang Yuelou has a lot of strengths. He has a very strong sense of justice, a very strong sense of right and wrong (which again could be a sense of justice), and he has a big fucking heart. He cares and loves so fiercely and he also feels everything. Like, that's why I love him because this man is not afraid to show emotions. Most drama leads are stotic or cool or whatever but nah bitch. This man? This man ugly cries. This man experiences rage and lets it show. When he's in love? Oh, it's in his face, in his words, in his expressions, in his actions, in his body language, it's in everything. He is an expressive man and I love that about him.
As for Chen Yuzhi, his strengths is that he's kind. He's so kind and so good and he tries to see the best in everybody. He wants to help everybody; doesn't matter if they're a gangster or an innocent child. He's a doctor so if he can help, he's going to help. And he wears his heart on his sleeve. This man has a bleeding heart and it's honestly kind of beautiful. If goodness was a person, it'd be Chen Yuzhi, honestly.
For Jiang Yuelou, his temper is a bitch. He's a firecracker and it doesn't take much to set him off. And his strong sense of justice can be a double edge sword; sometimes he's so focused on doing the right thing that he doesn't really care about consequences or about who gets hurt in the process and people get hurt in the process. Also, even though he's an emotional person...good fucking luck trying to get this bitch to speak his mind or talk about how he's really feeling. This man has been hurt, badly. His mom abandoned him when he was 11, his dad fucking did opium and abused not only him but his mom as well as pimped her out to others for more opium and then when he fucking died, left Jiang Yuelou alone to have to fucking deal with the loan sharks. This man has been hurt and traumatized and when you've been hurt that badly...it's hard to open up to people. It's hard to let people close (which is why when he lets Chen Yuzhi in and lets him know his past...it's powerful. Because no one else knows about Jiang Yuelou's past, except for Bai Jinbo and Jiang Yuelou himself. So for Chen Yuzhi to know everything about him...it says a lot about Chen Yuzhi as a person and how much faith and trust Jiang Yuelou has in him).
As for Chen Yuzhi, his strengths are also his weaknesses. He tries to see the good in people and sometimes that trust can lead him to trusting people who end up betraying him (Liu Li). And because he's so good and so kind, people tend to take advantage of that kindness and goodness. And since he also wears his heart on his sleeve, he's more open to get hurt easier.
Honestly, the best quote that I think bests describes these two is: "All that pain and misery and loneliness and it just made him kind". Because at the end of the day, they are kind people. They're kind people who care for each other and care for others. And these two went through some shit. And yet they still came out kind.
As for what I love about their dynamic is that...they're two halves of a whole. Two sides of the same coin. Yin and yang (and we ain't just talking about wardrobe color pallets). They understand each other on a different level and like...to watch their relationship grow from how it started back in that warehouse to where they are at the end of the drama...my fucking god, it brings me to tears just thinking about it. They are each other's other half. They are each other's heart. Powerful apart but even stronger together. They melt around each other. You can just see it in their eyes how much they care for and love each other. It's just...
Look at them and tell me I'm supposed to be normal about them. Look me in the fucking eyes and tell me I'm supposed to be normal. I can't. I won't. I won't ever be normal about these two. Ever
