Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt. 0: SAVE ME (or just SAVE ME) is an official Korean webtoon or manhwa created by BigHit Entertainment and LICO (creator of Refund Highschool) that works as a linear retelling of the BTS Universe, the story from the music videos, short films and Notes of Korean group BTS.SAVE ME is the story of seven boys, the BTS members' Author Avatars from the BU universe. In a school ripe with Sadist Teachers, and with each having to deal with their own share of Abusive Parents and traumas while surrounded by useless adults and poverty, the boys' times together were their only moments of happiness.The story, however, starts with Seokjin waking up on April 11 after returning to Korea from the US - 2 years after the group's separation. A month later he finds, to his horror and regret, that his six friends' lives have taken tragic turns note much like in the "I NEED U (Original ver.)" music video.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Then Seokjin wakes up in his room, on April 11. And then he wakes up again. And again. Will he be able to save his friends from their fates, or is it too late?SAVE ME was officially announced in January 2019 by the Twitter account Smeraldo_Books and published weekly for free in LINE Webtoons, starting in January 16th and ending in April 11th of the same year, which also happens to be one day before the release of BTS' album MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA. You can read it in its official English translation here.During the run of SAVE ME, BigHit also released The Most Beautiful Moment In Life: The Notes, a novel showing the backstory of the characters and the story after the events of this webcomic in the form of diary-like entries for each character. While the novel is optional to understand SAVE ME, both works are complimentary to each other and required reading to follow the plot of the BTS Universe.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Has no relation to the film of the same name.WARNING: Like the BU, SAVE ME deals with heavy themes, including suicide and abuse. It also manages to be more graphic than its parent series. Proceed with caution. | |

Heroic BSoD: Jin's reaction to Jungkook's death in front of him in Episode 2, which follows into the next rewind. Jungkook's reaction to Yoongi's death in Episode 5. After Jimin dies while Jin is driving him away from the hospital in Episode 13, Jin temporarily gives up, staying in his room for more than one full day/cycle. It takes Taehyung going to his door to break him out of it. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: Downplayed. While there were also heavy themes in the BU, the comic shows more graphically what was only implied or partially shown in the videos, though how graphic is limited by the art style. For example, the comic shows a character's bloodied dead body with eyes wide open after falling off a building, while the videos would only show them standing on a rooftop and looking at the distance. | |

The teacher manages to slap Jungkook so hard the boy falls off the table. Yoongi gets expelled after interfering to defend Jungkook. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: In Episode 6, Jin's car collides with the side of a truck, with Namjoon's side getting the worst of the impact. When we jump to the aftermath, we only see Namjoon from behind and then from the front, in which his face is obscured (as he's facing downwards), but with bloodstains on his clothes clearly coming from there. | |

Wham Shot: In Episode 1, there's Taehyung's expression after Jin calls out to him while Taehyung is being arrested for killing his father. In Episode 2, there's the pan over Jin's car from above, revealing Jungkook's dead body on the car's hood. Episode 4 has Jin grabbing Jungkook, avoiding his fall. The end of Episode 4 has Jungkook receiving a call from a familiar ID, followed by Yoongi calling Jungkook unsuccessfully, alone in a motel room playing with a lighter - implied to be the same motel room he burns in the Prologue. Episode 5 has the pan to Yoongi being treated in an emergency room, covered in burns. Less tragically, there's the reveal of Taehyung now standing along with Namjoon and Jungkook, having just come out of the police station, but also Jungkook's revelatory expression when learning about the arsonist. In Episode 12, there's Jin going up the stairs only to find Namjoon, Hoseok, Taehyung and Jimin staring at him. Then a bit later, there's Jimin's mother standing in the way of the exit. Episode 15 has the reveal that Taehyung has fatally stabbed Jin by accident. | |

Dissonant Serenity: Yoongi appears completely expressionless as he stands in the middle of a room on fire in the Prologue. In Episode 6, he smiles. Jungkook's neutral yet melancholic expression throughout the Prologue and the first 2 chapters remains almost entirely the same, even as he's falling down a building to his death. It only changes after he's rescued. | |

Hidden Eyes | |
SAVE ME (Webcomic) / int_6adf60d1 | comment |
Hidden Eyes: Everyone in this world who isn't one of the main seven seems to lack eyeballs. Exceptions being a child in the hospital, and Jimin's mother. The art style also tends to obscure the eyes of the characters in wider shots (even when they realistically still should be seen), or to convey certain emotions. For example, Jungkook gets this in Episode 5, first after being asked about home, and then when he's asked about Yoongi. | |

SAVE ME (Webcomic) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: In the original timeline, Jungkook throws himself off a building rooftop, and (like in "I NEED U") Yoongi sets his room on fire with himself still inside. While is not completely clear whether the former was actively looking to kill himself (though he didn't exactly mind dying, either), the latter definitely was. In Episode 12, Jimin tries to drown himself in a bathtub, though, like Jungkook, it's not clear how intentional it is. | |

Stepford Smiler: Both Jungkook and Taehyung are shown to hide their problems behind a smile. Jungkook almost immediately starts smiling, talking about the view and dodging questions after being saved from falling to his death in Episode 4 and 5. Having just gotten out of police custody in Episode 5, Taehyung just laughs it off, and cryptically says he's seen Yoongi in his dreams (implied to be Yoongi in the room on fire) while still smiling. Hoseok has a naturally bright and cheerful personality, but he also seems to dodge questions about his condition by laughing it off or smiling anxiously. | |

SAVE ME (Webcomic) / int_8d23f3a7 | comment |
Timey-Wimey Ball: Key events vary in time and/or location between loops. Some events vary greatly simply due to the sheer amount of variables present. Due to Yoongi getting drunk beforehand, the hotel he ends up staying at in the night of April 11th randomly changes between each rewind. If Jin changes things too much or too early, circumstances for later events are also altered, making them harder to control. In Episode 6, getting Jungkook, Namjoon and Taehyung on his car early in the morning of April 11th ends up with the three dead on a car crash. From then onwards, Jin starts planning things to help each one of the boys at just the right moment to be able to save the next. | |

Dream Intro | |
SAVE ME (Webcomic) / int_a4ffefce | comment |
Dream Intro: Episode 08 begins with Taehyung's nightmare, where (in a very similar way to Seokjin's dream in the first chapter), he watches Jimin get dragged down to the bottom of the sea by Jimin himself. | |

Died in Your Arms Tonight: In the last chapter, Jin is stabbed by accident by Taehyung, and dies in Tae's arms as the latter weeps. Fortunately (?), it doesn't last. | |

Dreaming of Things to Come | |
SAVE ME (Webcomic) / int_af7d483f | comment |
Dreaming of Things to Come: In Episode 1, Seokjin has a nightmare about all of his friends sinking into the bottom of the ocean, with him being unable to reach them. Some weeks later, he learns about what happened to them - and it isn't pretty. Interestingly, all of them in the dream are dressed exactly as in the "I NEED U" music video. As revealed in Episode 6, Taehyung has dreams about events we've seen in previous timelines. He seems to perceive his dreams as these, but it's unclear if they're dreams about the future, the events of a past time loop, or both. As of Episode 8, he has had dreams of Yoongi dying in a fire and Jimin drowning in the sea, the latter of which is very similar to Jin's nightmare in Episode 1. In Episode 13, his dreams lead him to Jin's apartment during Jin's Heroic BSoD, implying that his dreams show him the previous loop(s). In the final chapter, a distraught Taehyung reveals that he has dreams about all of the other boys' fates (minus Seokjin) every night. He also dreams about himself, but doesn't remember what happens to him after he wakes up. | |

Abusive Parents | |
SAVE ME (Webcomic) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Taehyung's father was physically abusive towards both of his children. Jungkook's family is implied to simply not care about him. Hoseok's mother abandoned him when he was a child. Jimin's mother is emotionally abusive, treating him as a burden and forcing him to stay in a hospital for 2 years. | |

SAVE ME (Webcomic) / int_b7b1aa73 | comment |
And Then What?: Non-villanous example. In Episode 9, being confronted by Yoongi has led Seokjin to ponder this. Even if he saves his friends from immediate danger, what happens next? Will they ever be happy? Will they even remain truly safe afterwards, given that the issues that led them to their original fates are still there? | |

Unwanted Rescue: In Episode 7, Jin manages to rescue Yoongi from the fire; however, Yoongi really did want to die there, so he doesn't take the rescue well and is still suicidal and depressed afterwards. | |

Hope Spot: In Episode 5, Jungkook is saved, but while he, Jin and Namjoon are talking, he receives a phone call from a hospital. They rush there to find Yoongi, who is being resuscitated and dies shortly after while they watch hopelessly. Episode 14 shows the boys finally happy and reunited. Then Taehyung kills his father anyway. | |

Anger Born of Worry: Deconstructed. Jin displays this after stopping Jungkook from falling in Episode 04, but it reminds Jungkook of his abusive mother saying the same words to him, whose anger is not exactly implied to come out of worry. | |

R-Rated Opening | |
SAVE ME (Webcomic) / int_f9ab4501 | comment |
R-Rated Opening: In case you weren't familiar with the tone and content of the BTS Universe, the Prologue chapter starts right off the bat by showing the "bad outcomes" (several from "I NEED U (Original ver.)", itself the R-Rated Opening of the BU), which include a character with blood-covered hands, another one in jail, one standing very close to edge of a rooftop, and one character calmly standing in the middle of a room going down in flames. And at least one of them is still a minor. Any doubts about the tone of the series are completely squashed by Episode 2, where a character kills himself in front of the protagonist. Twice. | |
