Answer Me 1997 - I have a new ship

If Shi Won/Yoon Jae isn't going to happen, I am Joon Hee/Yoon Jae all the way - this scene killed me:

Yeah, I reaaaaaally liked big bro/dead sis which, unless it's going to turn into a zombie drama, is not happening.

Ah sweet Joon Hee. His affection is never going to be returned, so it's heartbreak city all the way and you could see it was pretty much love at first sight going by the flashback to the time he and Yoon Jae 1st met. These kids.....

[dangermousie]

Poor kid. I do hope he finds someone else.

Honestly, I have never wanted an OT3 so badly before. Why can't they all be together and adorable and in love!?!?! Because they're all three the most precious and I love them to itty-bitty bits and I want them all to be happy so very badly it makes my heart hurt.

[dangermousie]

You know there is no way it will every work out for all three to get what they want so :(

[penny_lane_42]

I know, that's what's so heartbreaking about it! No matter what happens, I'll end up sad for someone.

Joon Hee breaks my heart. and Not even just because he loves his friend and his friend doesnt or cant love him back. I think its not even just the issue that Yoon Jae prefers girls, but that he already likes someone else and doesnt see Joon Hee in that way. Straight people CAN fall in love with someone of the same sex since sexuality is fluid and can change or expand over time. (tho tbf this happens alot more with girls than guys but still it happens!) and in fact for all we know Joon Hee was straight or thought he was until he fell for Yoon Jae. but yeah thats def where this drama is going. esp since this is a kdrama -_-. What really hurts me tho is knowing that Joon Hee is gonna live his life in the closet and having to hide his sexuality from people his whole life because the country he lives in is super hostile to gay people. Esp since outside of say gay clubs, Joon Hee will never know if someone is gay or not or at least not disgusted by the idea before confessing to them. thus there is always a chance that person will 1. be so

Regardless of whether one believes in fluid sexuality (I do not - Kinsey scale, sure, but not fluid sexuality. But that is a discussion for another time), I agree that JH is pretty doomed - his friend is unlikely to suddenly think 'hmmm, maybe I like boys too' in 1990s Korea and after being in love with Shi Won.

I will be a Yoonjae x Joonhee shipper although it is doom unless the writer gives me a miracle .. I just love this drama compelling storytelling, its SLICE OF LIFE .. that I wish for it to happen.

Although deep down I don't think the writer will go there to have Yoonjae and Joonhee end up together but my heart so go out to Joonhee ... he is just so earnest in his love ... (love Hoya acting)

And omg episode 10 just kills me .... can we at least get an Infinite member to be Joonhee lover in their reunion if he doesn't get Yoonjae??? please!!!

[dangermousie]

I do hope jH finds someone as it's clear YJ will never reciprocate :(
