HIP Talk: Hope for the lost ones

I will just state as it is, from my perspective.

Sung-Mo knows Ahn’s psychometry gets “better” when he is feeling desperate, as if it was his last resort, so that’s what he did. He put Ahn in a desperate situation, that he knew Ahn would be able to get out of it on his own if his ability is well enough. Sung-Mo gave all the clues, all the hints, and training needed for this moment, where Ahn can use his psychometry to help him.

Sung-Mo is being cold towards Ahn’s abilities on purpose. the colder Sung-Mo treats Ahn right now, the better for Ahn’s abilities, that is the ONLY thing that can actually solve this, because it’s about Ahn seeing the ACTUAL facts. 

This is Sung-Mo’s way of helping everyone he can right now.

At the end, I believe he will accept go to jail, and even stop being a prosecutor, but do not mistake Sung-Mo as the bad guy. He’s smart, and everything has a purpose. He noticed that he could follow his ‘plan’ of finding his father when Ahn did his first Psychometry on him. 

Sung-Mo already know how to fix all the sides at once, while letting Ahn try to solve once per time. 

Anyways, I’m happy with all of this, Honestly, I’m smiling [thought the pain]  the one thing that is making me mad was the whole “He has alexithymia” when hE DIDN’T! 

I also appreciate the beautiful moment Sung-Mo and Jisoo shared, and I’m glad they cleared once again, that Sung-Mo loves her.

Anyways, send your thoughts my little ones! Let’s talk about this episode!!

PS: Am I the only one who can see hope? Am I being naïve? Because this episode, was painful, but also set a lot of things straight.

HIP Talk: Lies. Lies. LIES!

A/N: THIS IS FILLED WITH SPOILERS, TEARS, ANGST, RAGE, AND A LOT OF CONFUSION AND SPECULATION. AND NO. NOT A THEORY.

Okay first things first, Jisoo. To my beautiful and strong Jisoo I am SO sorry it took you too long to see the love in front of you. I’m sorry it took too long for Sung-Mo to act on it. I’m sorry it had to be this way. You will forever be the most badass character in this series. 

My baby Sung-Mo, who I believe was the one who started the fire [I don’t think Sung-Mo would kill at the age of 18], I understand why you did it, and I now see that you never wanted things to be this way, but at the time it seemed like it could be a solution.

There’s so many secrets we STILL don’t know, and constant lies around the main characters... It’s driving me insane.

My thoughts for this episode: I’m freaking DEVASTADED that Jisoo died, Ahn being fooled by Geun-taek is driving me insane, Sung-Mo getting revenge is making me feel too many emotions and him visiting Jisoo’s tomb WHAT WAS THE NEED OF THAT? LIKE WHY? WHY? I honestly think we will only get their back story on the last freaking episode and I’m sad, and honestly, I need sunshine boy Dae-Bong to come and just sit there and smile at the camera for 40 minutes. 

Please send love, cause I will go back to crying now.

Guys, I’m not ready to watch tonight’s episode. I feel like I will cry too much.

Sung-Mo, a Diamond in the Rough

A/N: I believe this might be the last long post related to my beloved Sung-Mo, I will ever write. This is NOT a theory, this are just some pointers of things I’ve come to realize over the course of these 12 episodes. This by NO means portraits what are the actual intentions of the writers of the show. ALSO, I have to say I love the support I get on my little theories and that I always check the tags of those who reblog it and sometimes it’s filled with compliments and I cry a bit in silence.

♥-♥-♥-♥-♥-♥-♥-♥-♥-♥-♥-♥-♥-♥-♥

Sung-Mo is one of the deepest and, in my humble opinion, the most well written character in the whole show. Even though he is not the main character, his story and actions just makes him a character that draws you in.

Of all things and emotions that drives his characters, guilt, plays a big big role. He obviously loves Ahn, and cares deeply for him. Ahn is with no doubt the closest person to Sung-Mo. But Sung-Mo feels this responsibility towards the main characters of the series mostly because he feels guilty.

“I was never alone back then”

In rough words, that is what Sung-Mo tells the Priest, when he is debating what he should do next. And for me this is one of the saddest things Sung-Mo has ever said. Because he acknowledges that there were people willing to help him, but maybe out of fear, he didn’t reach out.

He recalls not Jae-In or Ahn, but their parents. He remembers how they were willing to help him, even though they don’t know him very well. Sung-Mo grew up feeding that guilt. Blaming himself, thinking that if he had talked to any of the two men that offered help to him in moments of need, then the kids wouldn’t have such harsh futures.

Sung-Mo jumped out of that window holding Ahn tight to his body, because he knew that if he had talked with his father, a police-officer, then maybe the building wouldn’t be on flames, and Ahn parents wouldn’t have died. Sung-Mo risked his life because he already must have felt that he had responsibility over Ahn’s life.

When he and Ahn had the news of Jae-In’s father being arrested Sung-Mo already knew that the police were wrong and he already knew the police was not doing its job properly since he had already warned Jisoo’s father about the ‘suspicious man’.

Sung-Mo feels responsible for everyone around him because he believes that if he had asked for help then the fire would have never happened, his father would have probably been arrested, his mother would have been besides him, and they could have lived an easier life.

Out of everything Sung-Mo ‘learned’ to feel, guilt is probably one of the first things he must have started feeling. Guilt for never asking for help, guilt for not being able to help capture the culprit, guilt for leaving Ahn alone at the orphanage, guilt for hiding from Jisoo all the things he knew about her father.

But I also believe that if it wasn’t for that guilt, Sung-Mo wouldn’t open up to any of these characters. Ahn brings out brotherly love out in Sung-Mo making him playful and truly himself, Jae-In makes him laugh for silly things, Jisoo brings out a romantic love, something that he must be terrified of. I will address his situation with Jisoo later on.

Guilt had to be the first feeling Sung-Mo was able to feel towards these characters, and all the other feelings were being developed over time, because he also must have felt trust. I believe that even though guilt is an awful thing to carry, it made him believe that he wasn’t like his father.

Because of guilt Sung-Mo was able to build trust, he was able to open up. He was able to also understand anger, and that the consequences of nurturing this feeling could bring pain.

Which brings me to point out a few things about Sung-Mo’s relationship with the characters. Firstly, with Ahn he is carefree. He laughs when Ahn sings to songs, he worries for his safety, he opens up about his past wounds, he is so ready to let everything about him to pour out and share everything with Ahn. With Jae-In and her aunt, he also worries, he let’s his guard down and makes jokes, he laughs out loud.

Now with Jisoo, he is careful. Maybe because he also fears the feelings he has for her. Not knowing if he will come out as obsessive, or loving. Sung-Mo obviously knows how a regular relationship is supposed to look like, but he also has this deep scar about always being compared to his father, and not really knowing what would be the tipping point for him.

Imagine a teen Sung-Mo starting to have this strange feeling about this girl that speaks her mind with no care in the world, and being so terrified of being compared to his father, he decides to shut her down completely. Unaware of the pain he might be causing her. 

Sung-Mo actually might end up feeling too much, but all these feelings must be accompanied with fear, and he doesn’t know how to properly express them, and maybe that’s why when he starts to feel more than he considers “the usual” he decides to shut people down. Afraid of what he can do, what he can become.

In my opinion Sung-Mo alone could never discover everything about himself, he needs all these characters around him to help him see that he can indeed, feel, and feel good things.

As we are walking towards the end of the show I wanted to write that I love Sung-Mo. I believe that he must be one of the most relatable characters in the show, for he is always so conflicted with what is right, what is expected from him and what he wants. So to my dear Sung-Mo, I hope you get your girl, I hope you get the happy ending you deserve.

♥ That’s all. I hope this made sense, because it’s all over the place. Please share your favorite Sung-Mo moments until now. Mine is when he and Ahn were mistaken by a couple, when he laughed at Ahn singing in the car, and the shower scenes, obviously.

HIP Talk: Sung-Mo, the Little Prince

A/N: This is just my intepretation of what is happening, and there’s also a trigger warning about abuse and violence.

For the past episodes it has been a big deal the whole “Does Sung-Mo has romantic feelings towards Jae-In?” and that question has been driving a lot of the characters on the show to judge Sung-Mo’s actions. 

After today’s episode, I believe that no. He does not have romantic feelings for Jae-In. And why does that matter? The misconception of him having such feelings for her, ended up in a chain reaction of terrible things happening in the series. After hearing Jae-In’s explanation towards why she was targeted we have this perception that not only Sung-Mo is not used to displaying his feelings, he might have been characterizing them, or portraying them ‘wrongfully’. And the that leads characters like Ahn and Jisoo to have a misconception about what he actually feels. I will get back on that, in a second.

“You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed”

At the end of the 10th episode and through out the 11th episode, references for the book Little Prince appear. On the 11th episode Kang Geun-taek, Sung-Mo’s father, talks about the Mom as his flower [referencing the flower Little Prince grows on his star], and he believes he’s got Sung-Mo’s flower. Jae-In after hearing his speech realizes Geun-taek’s misconception about her relationship with Sung-Mo, as she states herself. We will go back to the flower reference later on.

Going back to Sung-Mo characterizing/portraying his emotions. When Ahn does the reading of the maps Sung-Mo left for him, he has this ‘strange’ feeling in his chest, that leads Ahn to believe that Sung-Mo has romantic feelings for Jae-In, when in reality it could be that Sung-Mo, not being used to such a diverse range of emotions, might have ‘named’ his feelings towards Jae-In wrongfuly. Jisoo’s misconception comes simply after the statement that people cherished by Sung-Mo will be hurt and she doesn’t see herself as someone in danger.

What he truly feels for Lee Ahn and Yoon Jae-In, is lead by his guilt. He feels responsable for them, and that has been clear since the beginning. What he feels for Jisoo is indeed some sort of romantic feelings that she can’t believe it’s real, after being rejected by him before. But that’s when Geun-taek’s own feelings come into play.

It was previously shown that Geun-taek’s first option of target to hurt Sung-Mo was Jisoo, because he was driven by his rage of having his “flower” taken from him. Sung-Mo’s father was obsessed with the mother, and thought that the way of even things out would be hurting a woman loved by Sung-Mo. And in his perception, given the fact Sung-Mo was trying to approach Jae-In after her request of meeting him, Jae-In was that woman.

Sung-Mo being more affectionate than usual with Jae-In caused characters to believe he has romantic feelings for her, when he does not have such feelings. 

Now, coming back to the flower reference. Geun-Taek uses the flower in Little Prince to refer to Sung-Mo’s mother. Later on the episode we discover that the mother and Sung-Mo were held captive for 9 years in a basement.

“The Little Prince grew a flower on his star”

 Without having the information if they were previously married or not, it came to me that it could be a possibility of the mother being kidnapped before she was pregnant, which leads me to believe that she might have been abused while being helpd captive. The one thing I can state is that Geun-taek wanted to keep them for himself, in his own ‘glass dome’. 

For final thoughts, the book ends with the Little Prince allowing the snake to bite his ankle, to get him back to his star. The Little Prince allows himself to get ‘killed’ as a way of freeing himself.

It might be me over analyzing but the fact that it ends with the Little Prince getting bitten on his ankle, and Sung-Mo having a scar on his ankle, I can only wonder if he will do the sacrifice of being taken back with his father, or killed in order to keep those around him safe. 

We see Jisoo, Jae-In and Ahn trying to get to the killer before Sung-Mo does, but I cannot speculate on what will happen. Deep in my heart, I wish for Sung-Mo to not die, nor those cherished by him, And hopefully Geun-Taek has an actual ending, where he won’t be able to hurt anyone else.

So, what are your thoughts? I hope this made sense to everyone. Sung-Mo is my favorite character and I’m on the SUNG-MO DESERVES BETTER squad.

[edit] I by no mean, speculate that Sung-Mo doesn’t love or care Ahn. Ahn is probably the character he loves the most in this series, both going through thick and thin for each other. I just believe that in Geun-take’s eyes, to even things out, the victim should be a woman.
