Long Time No See, Chisoo/Gitae Gitae POV Spoilers if you haven’t watched LTNS!
Preview: Gitae has had a lot of identities in his life. Previously a diligent son now a doting and sweet younger brother, the guy next door helping at the restaurant, the cute web novel lover, the Mad Dog, Black Leopard’s best kept secret, his ace in the hole, murderer.
He has juggled them all, switches between them with the kind of fluidity seen only in actors and dancers. Seamless, transitionless, were it not for the change in his eyes, you could never tell them all apart.
But here and now, Gitae wishes he could strip them all away, just be Gitae, and lay himself bare before Chisoo.
@weilongfu Okay, I love this piece the most. You know in the movie, they gave snippets of Gi Tae’s guilt and confusion over falling in love with Chi Soo? I just feel that it isn’t explored as much as it could have been. So to see this depiction through his eyes is just the best and it’s so in character. Like legit, I could imagine this being part of a scene in the movie.
It was over and done with. Black Rose (“Abeoji,” Chisoo thinks. He doesn’t think he can ever not call him abeoji.) has been silenced. And for the last few months, Chisoo finally feels like the water runs clear when he washes his hands.
So it’s a surprise, although some part of Chisoo should have known it was coming, to see Uncle Black Leopard walk into the restaurant, boisterous, loud, and casual, flanked by two or three men as guards. They easily order several dishes as well as drinks from Gitae. Chisoo sees rather than hears the words, “Mad Dog.”
@andwebegin LOOK I WROTE LTNS FIC BECAUSE I LOVE THESE MURDER BABIES. NO REGRETS.
You’re right, it was intentional! I approached you at first to kill you. Because that’s my job. But that’s not how it is now. What I feel now is different.
Fighting, assault, blood, bullying due to homophobia (severe, really gross stuff), minor/ side character death
Summary-
Flying Dagger is a renowned assassin, working for Black Rose. Wild Dog is a fan of the stories Flying dagger writes and sets up a time to meet. They fall for each other, hard and fast, but will their secrets get in the way?
Bloggers opinion-
I was really not expecting that many kisses from a Korean series but I’m not complaining. The real MVP in this series is the sister, who I don’t think has a name, but god damn she was lovely. I really like how Wild Dog’s family aspect of this being positive, even though the rest of it was quite dark. It does a good job of letting you make conclusions, and I enjoyed the side characters.
There is some severe bullying that was necessary to put the whole story into motion but god, I wish I hadn’t seen some of that. Its not a bad series by any means, I just would have liked a warning. I think the side characters do a good job of trying to twist things to their advantage and I enjoyed the overall vibe. There wasn’t a lot of filler, it got to the point quite quickly.
Overall rating-
This is probably one of my favourite short series that I’ve watched because while the characters aren’t good people, they’re well written and developed. The only real problems for me is one of the fight scenes lacking continuity and how quickly they fell for each other but other than that, it was highly enjoyable for me, minus the recruitment scene for Flying Dagger because oh my god. Ew. That being said it was quite brief and easily skippable. it appears in a memory as well, but still skippable.
I really did enjoy this and give it about an 8.9/ 10
