Hi, it's my first time here too ~ just wanted to give a shoutout to everyone on this oh-so lovely thread. Refreshing this every 30 min has made the long wait for the finale bearable. I can't believe I started out trying to repress my feelings for Deok Sun x Taek because I didn't want to board a sinking ship. My heart can only taek so much! But of course, something about that smile kept reigning me back in, and now i'm freakin' ECSTATIC that our ship morphed into a combat vessel.

My two cents in response to @melissala's post on Taek's appa.

Taek as a character appealed to me right off the bat because of how multi-layered his personality is (hehe always a soft spot for dem onions). I love the idea that nobody, even those deemed closest to him, truly understands him. He even declared this sentiment aloud to Deok Sun. In a way, Taek's notebook that is kept carefully locked up, evading the eyes of even his father, represents how Taek chooses to guard his innermost thoughts and emotions. Hence Papa Choi's perplexed statement about he wishes for Taek to live a normal life...for him to be angry, to be like "the other kids."

I honestly think that Deok Sun is the only one capable of making his father's dream realized. Just look at Taek's emotional development throughout the course of this drama! What has spurred it? Deok Sun! Who was the one that taught him to curse and use slang, just like the "other kids" do? Who was the one he saw a movie with him in the theaters? Now contrast this with Taek's spree of failed blind dates. Those girls incorrectly dismissed his personality as cold, quiet, boring. Deok Sun is the only girl who will truly understand (and accept!!) why Taek is the way Taek is, and she's the only girl that would stick around to see Taek grow and become (!!!!) the sassy man we see before us in 2015.
