whatever you do, do not think of inho saying something like this to gihun in season 3
guys... what if inho decides to keep youngil alive and reunites with gihun as youngil, even if it's the last time because he cannot handle gihun hating the real him... guys...
the way inho broke character to giggle a little when gihun mentioned how they had to sacrifice some of the players for the greater good.. he was witnessing the "morally superior" man who dedicated his life to make himself a hero, bend and give in to the dangerous circumstances of the game to the point he was willing to let innocent people die. oh i know it got his pussy wet
Yes, but also, what if he was disappointed? What if this was the “of course this would happen” smile?
Cause so far, Gi-hun is not like the rest. Gi-hun went back to stop the games, he’s “good at heart”. He was going against the Front Man since the beginning, he told him that he was going to show him that the world doesn’t always go the way he wants it to.
Lee Byung-hun said that maybe In-ho is secretly rooting for him. Because maybe deep down he wants to believe that he got it all wrong. Just like Il-nam did, when moments before he died he lost to game, he was proven wrong.
In that very moment, when Gi-hun was planning to sacrifice a few innocent people for the greater good, he was going against his morals. He showed In-ho that maybe he’s not that different after all. I like to believe that this was an “of course you would” kind of smile, that In-ho realised that the man he thought so different and so special, the man that intrigued him, was indeed just like the rest. That he ended up being corrupted as well.
Which makes the scene where Gi-hun gave In-ho his ammo even more intense. Because for once more, he was proven wrong. And their game was still up.
yeah, i definitely agree that he was a little disappointed there as well because he grew to have faith in him. and yet later on gihun proved himself to be naive enough to trust youngil with his last ammo which probably made inho rethink everything, like "you idiot, you could never be as corrupted as I am no matter how much I think I want you to.' because that's the thing, inho thought he wanted to break gihun's stupid worldview about how people are actually good and all that but the truth is, he wants him to be just as he really is; kind, stubborn and stupidly brave.
not to be that person but there're moments in this scene, during their car ride in season 2 where in-ho comes pick gi-hun up, that feel so intimate to me?
in-ho personally dressing up and traveling from the island just to come pick gi-hun up himself even if he doesn't have to at all
in-ho deliberately choosing the same limo he used to drop gi-hun off that day to pick up gi-hun again (meaning he remembers which car he rode with gi-hun 3 years ago after gi-hun won his first game)
in-ho asking if gi-hun's plan was to 'kidnap' him (ooh kinky)
in-ho asking if gi-hun has seen the matrix (classic question to ask while on a date: 'have you seen this movie?')
also I don’t think in-ho was being sarcastic when he told gi-hun he genuinely “wanted gi-hun to have a good life and be happy” and in order for gi-hun to be happy, he wanted gi-hun to “forget everything” in other words, he wanted gi-hun to forget him (romantic or not, he cares and wants gi-hun to have a good life and be happy, and if being happy means gi-hun forgets about the front man then so be it)
bonus:
why the fuck do they talk like an old married couple where gi-hun’s the wife who always wins every argument and in-ho’s the husband who lets his wife win all their arguments just to keep her happy????😭
PLUS THE "your ways with words have improved" ok gay ass
