I rarely ever get second couple syndrome. In fact, I’ve watched dozens of kdramas and BLs at this point, and KimChay are the *only* second couple (or you might even call them third couple?) that I prefer. And it’s not just prefer, I straight up don’t like either of the other couples in KPTS.
Over a year since I first watched KPTS, and I’m still stuck on KimChay. I’m even now writing fiction about them! Literally so few couples have stayed with me this way. And if you asked my preference in general, I would say happy ending is an absolute necessity. But their bittersweet ending somehow captivated me in a way that usually doesn’t.
It’s really mostly Kim, I just see him as such a special character. It’s an incredible shame that all the shit went down to make it unlikely we will get a KPTS2, because I would *love* to see Kim’s character growth.
I am thankful that BOC at least gave us closure with the skit of then reuniting, so at least I can be secure in the knowledge that Kim and Chay got their happy ending.
But really, the fact that we AREN’T getting more of their story is probably a large reason why folks are still churning out KimChay fics, there’s just so much potential.
Anyway, this is just a totally random post to say, “I love you, Kimhant Theerapanyakul!”
