Forgot to post
Im rewatching s1 ep1 rn (in dub bc i dont have the capacity to keep up with sub rn) and i just wanna yap about rlgl when Sangwoo says in that sweet, soft, tender voice to Gihun;
“Hey, Gihun, don’t look back, just listen.”
AND THAT SHIT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY BC HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE HAD TO TALK TO GIHUN LIKE THAT FOR HIM TO JUST NATURALLY BE THAT CALMING TO HIM???????
HAS HE COACHED GIHUN THAT CALMLY THROUGH OTHER THINGS BEFORE??? PANIC ATTACKS?????? FIRST AID????? HOMEWORK????????
HOW OFTEN DID GIHUN USED TO PANIC FOR SANGWOO TO JUST NATURALLY KNOW HOW TO GET HIM CALM????????
“Dont look back, just listen” is going to ring in my ears like a fucking sickness for the rest of my LIFE now
Have Some Happy Seong Gi-hun Because I Don't Think The Writers Will Let Us See Him Again
Did Sang-woo ever have his glasses again after he returns to the games in S1? If not, does that mean he wore contacts for games 2-6, or that he flat-out couldn't see for shit for games 2-6?
Either way, I feel like more Sang-woo analysis of his behavior in the games should take into account that either: a) this man was partially blind for the remainder of S1 after he returns to the games, or b) this man thought he'd be 'smart' by wearing contacts instead of his glasses when he returned to the games, only to then spend multiple days either burning his eyes out wearing the same contacts for 5 days straight, or was partially blind for the remainder of S1 after he took them out the first night and realized he still had four games left that he now had to play while only partially able to see.
And you know what, I might be ready to kill people, too, after a few days of living with a decision that seemed so smart in the moment had turned out to in fact be that bad of A Mistake.
Chat, what did we think was going on in Gihun’s head in s2e1 when he got back to his hotel and found the recruiter/the salesman waiting for him?
As soon as he comes in and sees him looking at the calendar, his expression is tense and scared. A second later it relaxes and he goes about his business, toweling himself off from the rain like he isn’t at all concerned about the gun in the other’s mind.
Did he expect the Frontman to have stepped out of his nightmares? Does he see the recruiter/the salesman drinking his lil yogurt with a straw and decide he isn’t a threat?
I think something else is happening; something I think about a lot with Gihun. I think he thinks the recruiter/the salesman cannot kill him.
I think one of the manifestations of his trauma, one of the adaptive delusions he’s embraced to keep himself afloat through all the grief and guilt and misery, is that the games can’t kill him. Not until he’s done with them.
I think he thinks he’s destined to end the games and ignores any fear or common sense of his own mortality.
Because if he cannot end the games, it means the hundreds of deaths, including those of Saebyeok and Sangwoo, are meaningless.
I think he physically cannot accept that nor his own powerlessness, and that he’s been driven to a point where fear of death cannot reach him past his dedication to his mission.
I think we see this delusion really calcify in the scene where he plays roulette with the recruiter/the salesman, and I love that that’s how the season presents Gihun’s current mindset.
