Early Access: Scripting Your Destiny E4 (Patreon)

E4. Show manages to pack quite a bit of enjoyment into each of its compact episodes. I literally look forward to watching episodes of this show with anticipation, and that's saying a lot, for a little show like this.

I like how Show casually builds on its internal mythology, by casually sprinkling bits of information here and there. I feel like I'm piecing together a mythology that's already there, rather than watching Show build its mythology on the fly, which is an important difference.

This episode, we learn that if two conflicting related destinies are written, then the one that was written first, overwrites the newer one, and comes true. Ha. What is Ho Yoon going to do, now that he realizes that Ba Reum's going to be sent back to the US, thanks to the destiny that Myung wrote for his cousin the Station Director?

Also, I am quite tickled by the SKY Castle spoof that Che Kyung's starting to work on, titled SKY Cash. Hahaha. It sounds like an intense revenge makjang, and I kinda love the idea that Che Kyung's specializing in makjang dramas. I mean, her shirtless marriage makjang looks like fabulous fun. 😆

I'm also quite amused by how Ba Reum assumes that his first love is Che Kyung's mom, since Che Kyung's using her mom's name as her pen name, and wrote the series that helped him get through his hospitalization. How he got from "realizing" Che Kyung's mom wrote that series, to asking Che Kyung to date him, is kind of questionable, since it's not the automatic response of most people, to want to date their idol's offspring. However, I'll let this pass since Ba Reum's already shown a steady amount of interest in Che Kyung even before this reveal.

I'm curious to know why Che Kyung changed her name in college. It sounds like she didn't have a choice in the matter. I wonder what that's about?

I am very amused by how our actual events play with and get around the actual destiny that's written by the gods. For example, even though Ba Reum technically can't ask Che Kyung to start dating him that very day because that fate was erased by coffee, he simply asks her to start dating him the day after tomorrow. Pfft. I guess love finds a way..? 😆

How ironic, that Ba Reum, whom Ho Yoon regards as his masterpiece, is being rude and belligerent towards him. After all the care that Ho Yoon's put into writing Ba Reum's destiny, I imagine that it must feel like Ho Yoon's own masterpiece has turned around and slapped him in the face. Will this change Ho Yoon's mind about making Ba Reum his masterpiece?

Also, what is this about the ending of the literary story, which also becomes the ending of the love story that Ho Yoon is writing for Ba Reum? He loses her to an accident? If this is his way of punishing Ba Reum for being an ungrateful subject, that's really unfair to Che Kyung? Is she going to die as collateral damage? Or perhaps we could have more strategic coffee spillage, to fix this?
