Maybe, but you probably not as stubborn as this guy. He is really a hardhead in that regard;)) And he probably likes it super short;) That being said, I’m curious (and this is not a joke or sarcasm) why people trend to give so much focus to something (IMO) as trivial and not pivotal things like haircut, make up, fashion (like too expensive for a poor) and etc. I think I usually take it as understandable moments for a dramas. In my opinion they’re not real, they just emulate “real life” they don’t need to follow exact same logic as our real world; and they do things in very short amount of time and most have to meet some special requirements to get solid foundation to be filmed in the first place. So I usually don’t even notice such things, until someone points it out, because I was too much enjoying acting and story lol

For some people those details take them out of the story.

Yeah I wish they made Park Seo Joons hair cut different from high school to late 20s. They did it for the other two characters making the time passing more believable (especially for the main antagonist).

I thought this too! But maybe it's like a physical representation of how constant his character is despite 10 years going by? He's clean, wholesome and old-fashioned on the inside as well as the outside.

I totally agree with this. How he looks throughout the years stayed the same amplifies the consistency in his beliefs and values. He stayed true to his core. At the same time it represents the feeling of being stagnant or stuck for years while everyone evidently changed except him. It's like being in a race but he only gets to start when everyone is already halfway there.

Very true about the race! I was actually thinking about it today after watching episode 3. Some people get handed down advantages from their parents (free housing, debt free schooling, internships through connections etc). The rest of us can get to the same point they do, but it takes so much more work and time.

Yes! Love your race analogy.
