#it's also weird that they've gone through a lot of trouble to establish that Lee Yeon's devoted bff/nanny is great with kids

[winepresswrath]

last night's episodes of totnt mostly irritated me with very bad pacing, which is a shame, because I was so charmed by the lead up. there have been too many redundant meetings and also too many people stopping to monologue about how sad it will be if Lee Yeon dies. >:( I was ready to have brainworms for at least two weeks, show. Also, going into the final episodes there has still been no actual explanation for why the main character abandoned his kid brother on a burning mountain with a dead puppy aside from "he was very sad." im beginning to question whether he was locked in a hell dimension at all.

#on the bright side Lee Rang was annoying again like you don't understand people who have not watched this show #this man is SO annoying #did Lee Yeon think the kid was dead after their house burned down? #because surely! surely!!! #when your forest your little brother lives in burns to the ground you try to check up on him #unless you've been locked in a hell dimension which is what I had been assuming happened #it's also weird that they've gone through a lot of trouble to establish that Lee Yeon's devoted bff/nanny is great with kids #and yet! #we never see him with kid Lee Rang in the flashbacks and they don't come across as having been particularly close #like why #if you personally cannot deal with your sadness for long enough to pick your kid up #would you not at least send your bro who is great with kids? #i do like that the dude seems to have learned from his experiences with this family #Lee Rang rocks up sans child and he's just like WHERE IS THE CHILD DID YOU LEAVE THE CHILD ALONE #press says totnt #oooh ok I think I've figured it out #Lee Rang knows where he went #he just never heard from him again after he left #and Lee Yeon did said he tried to come back for him #so sequence of events seems to be #Lee Yeon told Lee Rang he was leaving #for samdocheon #possibly even why he was quitting being a mountain god #he thought Lee Rang would be fine on the mountain by himself with his puppy which #fine ok it seems like he was on his own with the puppy a lot anyway #he was depressed and uninvolved after that point but did not intend to ditch the kid entirely #when he found out the mountain had burned he #went back to look for him but Lee Rang had already booked it #the next he heard of him was when his face popped up on the most wanted list #and he'd either thought he was dead or had been looking for him up to that point
