we do not talk enough about Whitaker snapping back "day's only half over" when Santos says "at least I haven't killed anyone"
he may be an innocent, wet kitten farm boy half the time but this boy has SASS and ATTITUDE from being tortured by three older siblings as a kid and I love to see it. I cannot wait to see the Whitaker/Santos relationship develop into them being ride-or-dies who insult and bitch at each other all day long
the poll has ended
now you have to live with your decision. a decision that you can't undo.
santos and whitaker scenes i want to see in season two:
sharing a tupperware of lumpia for lunch.
whenever one of them finds out about gossip, the first thing they do is try to find the other one.
santos, while trying to get a reluctant whitaker to do something for her: c'mon huckleberry! den, denny- c'mon.
silent communication using the eyes, even better if it's blatantly in front of other people.
santos turning to whitaker, about to ask him to fetch her something, and the camera pans to whitaker with said thing already in his hand.
just one mention of a shared spotify playlist between them. please.
both of them sitting in santos' car and silently decompressing after the shift.
i can’t stop thinking about sang-woo’s suicide attempt. more specifically, little details surrounding that.
on the floor, we see a pile of cigarettes and ash, an empty bottle of soju, a trash bag filled with wrappers of what i’m going to assume are some kind of food or beverage… and shaving cream. which means it is more likely than not that sang-woo shaved himself before his suicide attempt. (he also does look cleanly shaved as well)
further more, when calling his mother, he’s not wearing the jacket of his suit. we see him put it back on. it wasn’t a spur of the moment decision; he willingly got in the bathtub with his suit on, assuming he was going to die.
so sang-woo made sure that even in death, he looked presentable and clean. he doesn’t want to be found a mess, because he’s meant to be better than a mess, and he wants people to think highly of him, even if he’s dead.
oh, the sheer irony of his actual death being messy.
look how far we’ve come.

also, it still breaks my heart that sang-woo was never able to tell his mother he loves her. while yes, he did get interrupted by the customer, i feel he also held back because of the things that had happened.
he’d basically jeopardized his mother because of his own wrongdoings, and he hadn’t really been the son she thought he was for the past couple years. that alone feels like a betrayal on its own.
and he’s basically drowning himself in shame and guilt that maybe he’s tricked his psyche into thinking “well, if you really loved your mother, none of that shit would have happened.”
watched the pitt. god, they fucking got me. they got me with a platonic pairing. this always happens. dennis and trinity i love you.
Rip to this part of my current Sangihun wip. I didn't take it out fully but I had to change part of it to fit with the flow of the whole thing
