I like how the dynamics change in subtle ways but that their inherent... belligerence doesn't go away.
Episode five is such a game changer in so many different ways. I didn't realise until watching it again. You get a real sense that Sebumi just shut down after the shooting, and it takes the threat of another aspect of his life being taken away that he finally opens up to her. And I think it's so effecting because she simply says "yes" instead of ribbing him or making it trivial. The belligerance is important (it's still a jdrama/OTP of awesome after all) but you can see they obviously worked hard at making two very broken people still appear hopeful and real.
...god, I'm reading so much into it. BUT I CAN'T HELP IT.
My new goal for 2011 is to write SPEC baby fic. That's a sign it's a real, active fandom if there's baby fic, right?!
Watch the original! I'd love to hear your thoughts, as they're similar but completely different at the same time. The main two are wonderful.
