Close ups of hands in their first kiss and the desperate way they handle each other in this moment.

Bonus: the softening of their lips as they both realize that, yes, this is okay and it's real and it's happening and it's not guilt or pain or rejection but wind and a windmill and energy created and energy shared.

loved the visual of Sailom spinning his pencil in the foreground of this shot - reminds me of a windmill (Kanghan) spinning in the wind (Sailom) and also as a visual representation of the gears turning in Kang's head as he flashbacks to the conversation with his grandmother and also reflects on how different Sailom's life is from his (struggling to make ends meet and risking physical harm if he doesn't succeed, vs. unboxing a VR headset).

YALL IVE JUST THOUGHT

kang was wearing sailom’s shirt for going out with sailom’s friends

but then look at the shirt sailom’s wearing to go out with kang’s friends

sailom doesn’t own ANYTHING anywhere NEAR as nice as that shirt

id bet my future firstborn child that sailom decided to get “revenge” and take one of kang’s shirts

that means i'm officially your boyfriend now? that's not enough to consider it official yet? hey, thank you so much. stop feeling bad about it, my good boy.

we’re all aware kanghan has a sudden and morals shifting realization when he witnesses sailom be beaten for his failure to return money his family has borrowed and owes as burdensome debt. but no more of a realization of sailom’s situation is kang’s of his own, with both rooted in fear.

kang has a gun in his hands, a gun he had brought to hold to sailom’s head, to make this boy fear him as a means to, in his words, train a disobedient dog. but when that gun is instead brought to those heads of sailom’s abusers, when this is a matter of life and death rather than some bullies' mind games, his hands shake. shake under a weight of a trigger he hasn’t before released, a gun he barely knows to shoot. kang is afraid, truly afraid, for what may be a first in the 16(?) years he’s been born. but this is what sailom’s feels on a daily basis. this is what sailom fears, a real genuine fear for his life and wellbeing, not of money-ladled bullies like kanghan. no, this is a fear far greater than what kang ingrains in his fellow students when making two boys kiss or kneel in front of his feet, or yes, bruising and bartering those same boys' bodies.

this is when kanghan realizes two things, one a mere beat after the other. first, this is why sailom refuses to abide by his demands, why he seems so unafraid to question him: he’s dealing with far worse than him outside of those old gym walls. and sure, this abuse is quite different from that of kanghan’s, maybe more gruesome, more abominable, but in many ways this is no different at all. and this is the realization that follows. kanghan is no better than these men who would burn a boy’s skin for missing a debtors deadline. no, burning one’s idol meet and greet stub is different, sure, but not miles better. and a boy on the ground groaning in agony and begging for your generosity is a familiar sight for kang. indeed this beating is a mirror being held to him and his brutal habits, a basis for needed self moral judgement. he’s been those same men, not as old in age and maybe not as ruthless in his fists, but undeniable to himself as well, similar all the same. in many ways he is those men, going to sailom’s house set on intimidating him as a means of submission, on ensuring he’s taught his lesson. what’s different is that to kanghan this all a game, a wealthy boy’s fantasy. all but a game until he realizes that this is sailmon’s life. that sure, maybe money is able to buy him anything he so desires. sure, money means getting his dad’s gun out of his bottom drawer and feigning as if he’s going to shoot so some boy gets down on his knees and begs for his life, sure. but no money, a withholding of that same wealth, means fear, means debts and loaded threats and indeed, just as loaded guns. and those are the kinds of dangerous real world games sailom has been made to engage in.

Fave GL scene award goes to:

Okay before my dangerous romance review. I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS SCENE OR IM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND. This scene is the most real sapphic thing I’ve seen in a bl.

Having your partner doll you up for a photo you are going to keep FOREVER is just GAHHHH BRINGS BACK MEMORIES AND GOOD FEELS. Makes me want to find another gf because it just makes you feel so loved and wanted… It’s the little things that really make my heart flutter. View and June really had me kicking my feet screaming because it was so teeth rooting cute. The way they looked at each-other man. Just so sweet innocent affection and hope for your crush to like you. If we were rating just based on one scene I’d say 10/10. Whoever put this scene needs hug and to work on a GL. I hate how late almost out of place this scene feels in dangerous romance but damn. It’s going to live in my heart. Wow.

I want to do a post on my views on Name and the assumptions made on him but:

That would be me considering the novel too much because we know how GMMTV sometimes completely disregards the novel (sometimes with good changes, sometimes... *looks at Por and Thiu in MSP*)

Name appeared two times only until now and we have no idea where it might go. It might be an actual good arc (I doubt it)
