Hey do you know what opening scene in a kdrama still fucking SLAPS? #MCTNA #MyCountryTheNewAge

The MUSIC. The lighting. The DRAMATIC TENSION. JANG HYUK'S FAAAAAACE. HWI ON A HORSE. Ahhhhhhhh.

#guolduart #mycountrythenewage #mctna #illustration

painting by guoldu of two korean men in joseon era dress, one behind the other holding a knife to their throat. the colors are mainly yellow green and mauve, creating a ghostly glow. both of them have the demon markings from the kpop demon hunters movie.

sketch painting by guoldu of Seo Hwi and Nam Seon-ho sitting in a grassy field against a glowing pink and orange sunset behind them, NSH relaxing in SH arms

a day of peace (warmup turned long sketch)

NOT THE PINK ROBES GETTING COVERED IN BLOOD SPATTER 🫦 WHATEVER WILL I DO 🥵🪭 #mctna

sketch by guoldu of Nam Seon-Ho getting dressed by mostly formless sketches of kisaeng women in women's hanbok while looking off to the left

pov you're seo hwi in episode 1 but the kisaeng have decided it's seon-ho they need to disguise in women's attire and you're realizing something about yourself

s/o to @skstarlight.bsky.social for having the Taste of All Time always

OH SEONHWI

TRUE THO #MCTNA #SeonHwi

No-one:
Me: Seo Hwi loved Nam Seonho so much that he walked away from avenging his father’s wrongful death - the thing that has not only defined him for his entire life but a thing that he is duty-bound to rectify as a good son and that is how important Seonho is to him #MCTNA

Seo Hwi circa episode 1 looking right with a sullen expression

Seo Hwi wearing his best jeogori with his slutty slutty pretty hair, kneeling and looking at Yi Seonggye off camera

You know, there's glowups and then there's WHATEVER THE FUCK THIS WAS #MCTNA #YangSejong #SeoHwi

Personally grateful to this boy for growing out his hair so he could look like a plucky Disney Princess

2. Gays can never be normal ever ever ever #MCTNA

Yang Sejong as Seo Hwi unconscious and beautiful showing off his spectacular rack

Love a whump magnet simply drowning in melanin and showing spectacular cleavage #seohwi #mctna

Hahahahahahaha SURE FUCKING IS

#banghwi #godlevelshit #mctna

Every time they go to Yeojudaek's house in #TheMatchmakers I have to clutch my chest and wail about how NOBODY EVER LOVED THEIR SISTER MORE THAN SEO HWI LOVES HIS YEON-AH 😭 GOOD LORD THE TRAUMA OF THAT FUCKING HOUSE #MCTNA #MyCountryTheNewAge

Do you think King Taejong goes to sleep every night for the rest of his life staring at THAT SWORD and remembering how He looked when he smiled and how He smelled and trying to pretend there isn't a hungry ghost standing over him whispering, "You did well today, Daegun, so well." #MCTNA #BangHwi

A still image of horses and blue light from episode one of MCTNA

Seonho and Hwi bathed in sunlight from episode one of MCTNA
