BOF 24: the writer is still insane!
Writer, you are INSANE!
We are at the end of episode 24 out of a 25 episode series and what is the shippiness we get? Yes, that's right, Jandi coming to guilt-ridden Ji Hoo who sits in the dark, telling him she didn't want him to punch Jun Pyo (for insulting Jandi!) not to protect JP but because Ji Hoo would hurt more (if he hit his friend). And then she holds his hand and goes "OMG they are so cold how long did you wait outside?" and starts warming them up with her own. And then she tells him that she can stay strong because of him, because his being here gives her strength.
WTF WTF WTF WTF???? It is no secret that by now Ji Hoo is my favorite character in BOF, and if the story could end with Ji Hoo/Jandi, I'd write thank you letters to TPTB. But it won't! So WTF is the writer doing? In case she forgot, the OTP is supposed to be Jun Pyo/Jandi. She has succeeded in making me like the canon OTP as much as I like skin rashes (by now, the only rationale I see for Jandi sticking to JP is the Russian saying which translated means "love is cruel, so you can even fall in love with a goat" i.e. under crazy influence of love you can fall for someone utterly ill-suited to you and unappealing in general) and I think Ji Hoo is both better for Jandi and with her, but that is precisely the point - JH/Jandi are not the canon OTP and it's bad writing to make me, the ultimate canon nazi to think that! And whatever my opinion of her suitors' respective merits, by now there should not be alternaship scenes of utter shippiness - the JH/Jandi scene is the kind of scene only given to OTPs in kdramas! Not to mention that having Jandi be this way and do this after he proposed and she rejected him so she is in no doubt of Ji Hoo's feelings makes her seem pointlessly cruel and fond of games.
Anyway, writer, you are INSANE.
