yes! even their improvised scenes, they are improvising as their CHARACTERS, they are not themselves the actors, it just means that they know their characters well enough that they can improvise certain scenes and be it be in character and acted well!

this is one of my pet peeves in fandom because it happens all the time with actors lmao when the director (or whoever) says 'oh this scene is partly improvised!' people are like 'oh they are the actors here then' and it's like noooooo it irks me hahaha

To me great improvisation is a mark of exceptional acting talent. It means you are so into character you don't need script to tell you what the character would do or say or what they're thinking in a particular situation. I'm thinking especially of something like Ohm in the bus stop scene in episode 3, and how he told Aof he was just wrong about how Pat subconsciously felt about Pran in that moment, and Ohm was right. You can only get to that level if you are IN your character. And two-person improv is even harder, because you both have to be in your characters, the chemistry has to be there, and you have to trust your scene partner that they're not going to go left and kill everything.

I think to get people to understand improv is hard...it's riffing, it's vibing, in music we'd call it 'jamming'. It's not 'we're just gonna be ourselves' it's 'we're just gonna be these characters in this situation and see where it takes us'. To do it well is a BIG acting skill. There are lots of phenomenal actors who simply can't do it well. It's one of the cornerstones of comedy and comedy is HARD. Yeah I think people don't appreciate the skill level it takes at all.

shinwoo x taekyung +  the five love languages (insp.)

i know we already hate him but i really want to emphasise how much pat's dad fucks him up with this. all his validation is strongly controlled by whether or not pat adheres to his ideas and codes of acceptable behaviour.

he kept insisting pat uphold his image and reputation when he's in class with the engineering professors, forced him to think of pran as a rival even for the freshy contest, and is now trying to guilt him into quitting the play. the second pat puts one toe out of line, he's there, ready to talk about how he's been a 'good' and 'non-interfering' parent and that it's poor of pat to not respect him and his wishes.

and you can see how much it distresses pat too, to have to hear that. sure he's favoured over pa (and i have my qualms with that) but by no means does pat have it easy bc his father always sets conditions for his love and validation. he's unused to disappointing his father bc so far he's always been trying to match up to his expectations.

this is genuinely some of the shittiest parenting a kid can be subjected to.

me, actually: constantly thinking about jaechan having to stand on tippie toes to kiss seoham in semantic error (2022) episode 8

Pat, you’ve got to stop doing this to me. We are not a thing, we are not even friends. That’s right. How can we be friends when our parents despire one another. How can we be friends if we live next door to each other yet can’t even talk? How can we be friends if we have to compete against one another in everything? You know what? When you were away, I was so damn happy. I didn’t have to compete against you. I wasn’t being paranoid. I didn’t need to know what your GPA was. I didn’t need to know which sports you were involved in. But guess what?It was so depressingly loney for me. What we have now, what should we call it? If we’re not enemies, do you think we can be friends? Why? Do you want us to be friends? No. BAD BUDDY THE SERIES (2021)
