Seo Kang-jun's Marriage Proposal: The Conflict Leading to 'Let's Get Married, Mido'

A new video highlighting scenes from the KBS drama 'Not You, But Other Romance' captures a tense conversation between the characters Nam-gung and Mido as they grapple with the uncertain direction of their relationship. The video's title emphasizes the emotional weight of the scene, focusing on Seo Kang-jun's character wanting a future with Ahn Eun-jin's character and his ultimate proposal: "Let's get married, Mido." Transcribed dialogue reveals a deep conflict between the two, as they argue over whether their relationship is truly over or if they can still make an effort to save it.

The dialogue begins with a sharp sense of finality, as one party states, "It has nothing to do with you anymore," attempting to distance themselves. However, the other responds that while they wish they could act that way, it is not as easy as it sounds. The tension escalates as the words "We are finished" clash with pleas to "Let's make an effort," highlighting the widening gap between their positions. One side draws a firm line, declaring the relationship dead, while the other desperately clings to the hope that a little effort could change everything.

The conversation also touches upon a longing for the past. In a poignant metaphor found in the transcript, there is a mention of wanting to run a microwave for just "one minute and thirty seconds," followed by a wish to return to "those times when everything was fine as long as I had you." This yearning for simpler times is immediately met by the harsh reality that they cannot return to the past, leaving the distance between the two characters unbridgeable.

The dialogue explores the terrifying prospect of a future together. As they discuss what lies ahead, the characters voice fears that the relationship will become a burden: "You will find me heavy, and I will find you suffocating." They contemplate the possibility that even if they strive for each other for three, five, or perhaps ten years, they might ultimately end up hating one another. The fear of being hated, or of becoming someone who hates their partner, is presented as a primary reason for wanting to stop the relationship altogether.

In contrast, the other person's greatest fear is the separation itself. The video poses the question of whether such a future is more frightening than breaking up. While the prospect of the relationship's decline is daunting, the character admits that the idea of the partner disappearing from their life entirely is even more terrifying. They express a willingness to move forward together, even if the end result is a messy or difficult conclusion.

Ultimately, the conflict leads to a decisive proposal of marriage. The transcribed conversation concludes with the desperate plea: "Let's get married. Let's get married, Mido." This moment serves as the climax of the scene, where the pessimism regarding their future meets an irrepressible refusal to let go. The video title reinforces this central emotional pivot, centering the entire dialogue on the phrase, "Let's get married, Mido."
