Sex Doesn’t Make Us Whole.

our dining table episode 7

PRECIOUS 💚❤

hearing pran's teacher report as "a serious, hardworking child, though he doesn't have many friends" in the same ep as "you raised me like this, and that's why i'm not like other kids" has actually torn my heart from my chest and showed it to me still bleeding

"oh! i've got him confused about his feelings to me"

this line! this line is just so important in seeing pat this whole episode. boy really thinks pran is confused about his feelings because of the kiss. he really is so clueless. maybe he thought pran is avoiding him because it's awkward or something. like looking at his persistence through this lens and how he literally crossed all those lines, pran's mom and group of friends, with no clue as to them being two of the biggest obstacles holding pran down? what would he have done if he knew the truth?

pat was just putting himself out there for pran to be within his reach. for pran to not feel awkward. for pran to know that he is still next to him. i honestly can't even find enough words or the right words to describe him.

episode 1 // episode 12

Sehyoon mocking YG while wearing the hot pants that YG also happened to criticize, they don’t call him Wow for nothing 👀

You know what I really love about it? I love that nobody explained Pat's feelings to him, nobody told him 'you're acting like this or that you must be into him'. He felt what he felt, and yes he got a nudge from Paa's 4 signs, but he went on this journey of discovery on his own, he really sat with himself and worked it out, and thought it through. He went all the way back through their history and questioned what he felt and did even then. His realisation came from within, it wasn't something anybody pushed him to, not even Pran. It came straight from his own heart.

There's a line in Pran's perspective from the novel that I really love that sparked for me here: There were times when I looked at Pat's face while treating his wounds and wondered what he meant to me. Here, Pat is the one who is going on that journey of trying to figure out what Pran means to him, and he's doing it not because anybody pointed something out to him, but because he felt something within himself and chose to explore it rather than ignore it like he would have done before. And he doesn't really discuss it with anybody, not Paa, not Korn, not Ink. Even when they try to draw him out about what he's thinking he demurs. He doesn't want anybody else's voice in his head about this. There's going to be enough of that if what he discovers within himself is love, enough voices saying this and that. And because it's Pran, something in him knows that he has to be absolutely sure if this is the path he's going to take. He can't go into this on a whim or anything less than 100% certainty. Because once he makes that move there will be absolutely no turning back.

I can’t believe we get a drama where

The main character is queer

He’s neurodivergent-coded

And/or an introvert

BUT sticks up for himself, instead of being a pushover

❤️ A.C.E OST ❤️

Is released at the end of pride month 🌈

The other characters consist of a sweet himbo, a gentle himbo, and a mean-but-will-probably-soften boi
