Not Saying The Music In The Scene From Ep. 5 Of Chief Gwi And Weol-ju Chasing The Evil Spirit Sounds

Not saying the music in the scene from ep. 5 of Chief Gwi and Weol-ju chasing the evil spirit sounds like the club music from The Divine Fury, but that's exactly what I'm saying

Here is Seon Ho, utterly losing his mind and self-control, fighting like a feral animal, when he sees Hwi surrounded and about to be killed.

And here is Seon Ho begging his father to spare Hwi (daddy didn’t need to say a word for Seon Ho to understand what he meant to do)

And here is Seon Ho when he thinks Hwi is dead, trying to crawl while bound to Hwi’s body, only being stopped by being knocked out.

Then there was his face when he learned Hwi was alive…

Or the fact that he went to warn Hwi his father’s assassins were after him even as they shot him! And stood there with Hwi to protect him and his sister (doing the whole I am so tough I am gonna pull an arrow out of me by myself and throwing a sword to Hwi when he needed it, in perfect sync.)

Sure! 100% platonic bros there, nothing to see here, move along…

Y'all, episode 5 had me SOBBING

When he realized that it was his wife who died?

When they were talking and he said he was scared of forgetting and she said she would remind him when he joined her?

When he said the dumplings tasted familiar, but he couldn't remember why?

Kang-bae on the subway: PROTECT HIM

No one told me this was going to make me cry so much

I'm only on the second episode but

This plot is just genius

I'm guessing we only see each customer for one or two episodes each

But even in that short time we see their stories, relate to them, feel for them

Kang-bae and Weol-ju too

The feeling of failure, the feeling of loneliness, these are things we relate to all too well

These feelings hurt, they're scary, but seeing these characters find hope and healing is why we watch these types of dramas

They might be fictional, but for real people, they're comforting

So for anyone out there who's hurting right now, I hope your 쌍갑포차 is on its way to a street corner near you, and that your own Kang-bae, Weol-ju, and Gwi come to lift you up

I hope you find your own hope and healing just like them

every few business days, i think about hwi and seon ho and cry
