so, with 3 episodes to go, i have to say i don't really know what to feel.
since there's still tomorrow's episode – and then next week's – i'm not entirely willing to form opinions yet. but on the other hand, some of these thoughts have been lingering in the back of my head for the past week or so and i need to put them into words.
thing is, i don't mind angst. it would be foolish of me not to expect it considering the way the story has unfolded and the themes of this drama and the fact that we're getting close to the end. so yeah, i don't mind angst – as long as it's done well. but you see, this is where my fear comes in.
bc i don't just want a happy ending, i want a good one. i want an ending that makes sense. i want an ending that does right by its story and its characters. i've seen how other dramas i've enjoyed (even loved) start to crash and burn within the last 2-4 episodes and it fucking hurts to spend all that time getting invested in a story only for it to fall apart right at the end. while i don't think castaway diva has been perfect so far by any means, i have considered it one of the best dramas of 2023 (that i've seen) and i would hate for that to change just bc of the ending. week after week i've sat on my couch, almost giddy with excitement, knowing there's a new episode waiting for me. and although i'd say i'm pretty easy to please, that doesn't actually happen all that often.
it's not just the happy ending that's important to me; it's how we get there as well. if it's only angst for angst's sake and everything that that entails – characters making choices that go against their previous actions and words or the story going around in the same old tired circles – then i don't want it.

lived my whole life in guilt bc i thought i was responsible for people's feelings. newly realizing that other people are responsible for their feelings and reactions, even if they make it seem like i'm the problem. a lot of the time it really has to do w them and their own emotional regulation. i can't keep thinking i'm not allowed to have space bc of other people's insecurities. like i literally refuse to dim myself. other people are responsible for their feelings just as i'm responsible for mine.

In which life ditched Jerry
(full version)
Bonus:
I thought it would be funny if Chara had some past grudge regarding Jerry, hence the mildly hostile narration in their encounter.
