Soren Diagle
A Quiet Place
This review may contain spoilers
AS IT WAS
"In the heart of Seoul’s electric hum,
Where towers scrape the sky, and dreams collide,
I found you, a fleeting ghost in the throng,
A silhouette dancing in the neon glow. "
I'M CRYING WHILE WRITING THIS
Dear Fam,
I am crying while writing this. I decided to rewatch LOVE IN THE BIG CITY to test my psychological capability. This reassessment may have come a bit too late but I want you'all to at least lend me your opinions if you can.
In a nutshell Go Young was the cheesy playful guy who ditched our serious ballad loving Photographer from his first model Gig, definitely 70% contributed to his death by a car accident and I'm sure those who watched know how he must have been guilty all this time.
That guilt made him try so hard even with scumbags like Youngsoo, that Senior researcher who was writing a publication on the evils of homosexuality while screwing his a**. Pause [What is wrong with most MEN?] replay.
Go Young definitely felt like trying hard since he must have never recovered from the trauma of that ballad guy but its like the Universe was unfair that every other choice thereafter had to confirm his self imposed fallacy that a GAY MAN COULD NEVER DREAM OF HAVING A HAPPY ENDING.
Wow he got aids, his military service was cut short not if it was something to be proud of but see he only needed one person to at least feel that after all he had been through perhaps made him understand or even try to understand what love is or is close to but I guess the bitter fact that was rubbed in our face was that he already had a chance, even if not the best, it was good enough, it could have perhaps led him to the best outcome, its just that he realised it too late and because it was too late the Universe punished his every attempt to make up for it and made it futile instead.
We were left with a withering dying man, all alone, with aids, his friends well ahead of him, and all those years of self discovery a wasted achievement of nothing.
He temporarily forgot that no moment lasts forever, everyone moves on, the world evolves and changes along with people and we can never be in full control. However, rather than facing it all alone it's better with someone by your side, the only problem is that for Go Young that person was already gone and he might have as well never been lucky in life again to ever find another one.
I dunno if this series speaks volumes to you like it has to me, I might reevaluate myself and call it the best BL of 2024 and probably ever, perhaps not because it is mainly a BL novel but rather because it is the Tragic testament of the Life of a Gay Man whose every yield in life was bitter🥺
