They're just so happy.
Ram is stern and all Lukchup wants is to be good for him, to never make him angry or worry ever again... so he'll be eager for his punishment for smiling and letting other people touch him because all he wants it to be good.
Ram and Lukchup are just the softest, most gentle souls that found each other and stuck together. Watching Ram introduce Lukchup as his boyfriend for the entire fashion show? Absolute beauty. Watching Lukchup slip his fingers into Ram's hand and take a deep breath after seeing NamNing? Art. Watching Lukchup call Ram just to take a walk outside together? Perfection. Watching Lukchup's brother bribe him to eat with a visit to Ram in the hospital? Delightful. Watching Lukchup determined to stay at Ram's side just to be with him? My heart is overwhelmed.
This show is just so sweet and so soft and so darling and I love these two boys so much.
Ram is determined to take care of Chup. Absolutely determined to take care of him and it's darling. He makes sure he studies, he takes him to dinner, he compliments his food, he plans on having him meet his family, he looks out for him, he loves him. And he does it all by quietly taking charge of situations and insuring that Chup makes choices and takes care of himself. I'm pretty sure Ram wins awards for being the single Most Caring Dom Ever in a BL.
The way Ram loves Lukchup is just beautiful. He's so careful to take care of him and reassure him and make sure that Lukchup knows that he wants to be public and he wants their relationship to be known and he wants to meet his family and he wants to be there for him. There's no hesitation in the way Ram loves Lukchup. There's nothing but love and care and protective instincts bursting at the seams.
Ram calls Lukchup his Good Boy and he means it. He promises to care for him and he promises to protect him and he talks to his grandmother and he can't wait to meet his mother and all he wants is a chance to be serious and to love him and to be there for him.
Honestly, this show is everything I want from a BL relationship. Ram is sweet and supportive, Lukchup is just as in love and just as willing to show it, they're both in this together and relying on each other for support and love. Lukchup wants to make Ram happy and Ram wants to make Lukchup happy and they do that together.
That's why I'm not worried about next episode despite seeing Lukchin asking Ram to give up Lukchup. Because this show has shown me, so far, that it won't fall for those tricks.
The way Lukchup shrinks just the tiniest but when Namning brings Ram food and he lowers his head a little and he shuts down entirely the more she speaks ill of his food and the way Ram looks at him and doesn't say anything but still chooses Lukchup's food over hers and then lets Lukchup into his car specifically to show his favor in a quiet way.
Lukchup and Ram staying up all night to talk and share and just... be together on the phone is the most relatable thing about a young crush I've yet seen. And then still being shy the next day, still nervous about facing him and then the way Ram smiles at seeing him.
What's your favorite thing about Lukchup and Ram's relationship? Related, how did you feel about the semi claiming scene in ep 5 and the ep 6 promo in which Ram says Lukchup will have to do everything he says for a day?
Sidenote, I can't wait to see how much Lukchup falls all over himself in agreement when Ram says that.
Oh, so many things.
I think my favorite part is that Lukchup has been in love for ages and Ram is just slowly, slowly, inching to a realization that everyone else has already figured out about him. I love watching Ram try to figure out what everyone around him already knows about him because Ram is just oblivious to himself.
My second favorite bit is Lukchup literally rushing to promise Ram anything, that he'd do anything, to make him happy. Lukchup wants nothing more than to be a Good Boy for Ram and he's wanted to make him happy since the exact moment Ram first smiled at him and offered him a ride.
I think Ram still has a bit to grow. He needs to figure out what he wants and Lukchup falling over himself to be punished is going to help. Because this is what they both want. Lukchup wants to be with someone who can be his emotional strength in a world that he seems to struggle to handle and he wants someone who loves his food and loves him. And Ram loves Lukchup's food, wants to protect him, wants to see him happy and safe and can handle the world without an issue.
I mean, the punishment is that Lukchup has to listen to him for an entire day? That's not a punishment to Lukchup, that's a reward!
I can't wait. They're so darling. Lukchup is so soft and so desperate to please and Ram is so gentle and wants to reward Lukchup for being so sweet. It's perfect!
