So, FL did what people here were dreaming she does (spoiler below).
She goes in the countryside alone, no "men of her life" around. 👍 In a quiet place where she can quielty heal. 👍 Wait.......... she's even more sick than before now. 😂😂😂
Starts with a flashback of the real Hyeri as a teenager, scolded by EunHo.
01:18 - Interesting bus journey to the forest. A little tip: Hyeri's face was shown at the very beginning, but it was hard to see that she was on the bus. So the previous flashback is Hyeri remembering her sister. The girls gossiping about her: she's never spoken to them in 4 years. Hyeri is asocial.
02:10 - Continuation of journey, forest reception centre. Night time. The students celebrate. Hyeri is left alone. Sees firefly lights... Follows them... ... to the entrance of the forest... She enters. Arrives in a strange field, with a kind of sun. Superb cinematography.
04:40 - Her smartphone rings. Left at the refuge. Then her strange semi-oniric journey continues through the forest. She has passed the light (a kind of sun) which is now at her back, rather than in front of her. And now the field is empty, she's lost. We can write on her grave: Dead missing, for having preferred to socialise with fireflies rather than with humans. lol!
06:25 - Transition to a forest painting. At EunHo's apparently. Her smartphone rings at 5:21, HyunO. No one answers.
07:02 - Title: Your name. ‘Joo Eun Ho Ri Hye Joo’ Hyeri's name in reverse. A sort of mirror effect in the words.
07:15 - Voice-over radio news: It's now summer. How long has it been since the last episode? Lots of mail dropped off in front of EunHo's house. In a way, EunHo has disappeared, as has Hyeri.
07:58 - Lunchtime news. Ji-On and a girl other than EunHo. JinA ?
08:56 - Ji-On + HyunO. He complains that his partner is hitting on him. HyunO hasn't heard anything from EunHo.
After Shin Joon gives HyunO a show... 12:00 - HyunO says that EunHo is absent but hasn't resigned. She's just taken all her days off. She's been away for a month.
12:56 - Parking. WHAT??! Hyeri hasn't come to work at the car park either?!!! EunHo has 100% disappeared!
14:00 - JuHyeon at home. Military film. Checks his smartphone about EunHo. Replaces the military film with EunHo's show by the sea. Nice that this scene didn't get lost in the shuffle. A strong meaning here, it's as if it replaces his previous goal in life (the army). Everything indicates that JuHyeon wants to be interested in EunHo as much as Hyeri... He also tries to phone her, to no avail.
15:20 - Media. Ji-On + ChooRong. (the girl HyeonO was supposed to marry, but it fell through) She says she has feelings for HyunO too. GAG! He comes in and hears this. ^^ Heol.
17:00 - ChooRong and HyeonO in the garden. He tells her he has no feelings for her. 18:07 - The director does a special shot.
19:35 - At the grandmothers' house. I have a hunch that the grandmother with cancer will die before the end of the drama. A guy arrives / Flashback. The husband who'd left after a stroke. The guy reminds me of a family version of Clown Jae. Drama filled without much exciting stuff at this point.
23:30 - JuHyeon at his boss's house. Asks if he knows HyeonO. Then wanders around the car park...
25:35 - JuHyeon at home. Motivated to box.
26:20 - Yeah, he's looking to meet HyeonO. They chat... Finally an exciting scene. JuHyeon tells him that she has a dissociative disorder. Woo! HyeonO is shocked. JuHyeon determined to meet EunHo and not just Hyeri. A strong clue: - EunHo broke up with HyeonO. - But Hyeri didn't break up with JuHyeon. Which puts JuHyeon at the top of the list! All it takes now is for him to start socializing with EunHo too. Plus, he's really worried about EunHo's health, and attacks HyeonO about how he doesn't seem to be. Ouch! That's heavy stuff!
35:30 - HyeonO remembers... Details about EunHo being ill.
36:10 - So he goes to see the therapist. Confidentiality clause, can't answer about EunHo. But since he paid for a session: She's on his case. LOL. The often cold actor is very expressive. Bravo. 39:28, In this shot, the director does a double image of HyeonO in a window, both images shot in the same direction. HyeonO is now worried that EunHo's condition is his fault. But the therapist reassures him. Says that EunHo needs someone to take care of her, that this will help her heal.
42:15 - Night. HyeonO knocks on EunHo's door. But she's not there, of course. He sees the mail piling up. Is this the first time he's been to her house instead of phoning?
43:00 - Media. Clown Jae. Going to be a pain with HyeonO. But he finds out where Hyeri works. lol The last shot is amusing. ‘oh, you're gone’.
44:40 - Night. HyeonO in the car park. 47:30, asks Min Young if Hyeri looked happy. CUT. No answer now. But surely she answers ‘YES’.
47:45 - Back to the grandmothers. Tsssss.... This episode is dragging on. I have a feeling we won't see EunHo until the cliffhanger. Tss..tss..tss...
48:15 - HyeonO in his room. Remembers the voice-overs about EunHo. How sick she is. How blind he was. Blames himself, cries... DRAMA SONG. A poor broken man. T T Booh ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh. Grandma comes like a zombie behind him. He calls to his mother, crying. Wait... Is he crying for his mother or EunHo? Confused!
51:20 - After lunch TV news. Ji-On and Jin Hwa. Subplot... tss tss. She asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend (my foot). She's afraid of the rumours about her and Chief Seo. She convinces him by saying she saw EunHo ! 53:15, flashback where she saw EunHo. She is hit by a car. Harsh! Creepy hairstyle. Like Hyeri. She takes off running.
55:00 - HyeonO at the office. Not answering phone. Hm. Clown Jae arrives. He really should answer the phone. Um... 57:40, HyeonO breaks down. If he answered the phone, this wouldn't be happening. AH FINALLY, he answers!!! Of course, it's about EunHo. CUT, we don't know what.
59:40 - JuHyeon inquires about EunHo's life. Disappearance of her sister, etc. Really, he had plenty of time to do that before, lol!
01:00:25 - Giyi seaside village. Shouldn't be far from the Giyidong forest? HyeonO arrives here. Thanks to the information he got. The policeman tells him that she lives in an abandoned hut. He has to sign a document to go with her but-- SURPRISE !!!!!! It's Hyeri ! The REAL one??!!!! It's hard to see her face. Hard to tell if it's EunHo or not. And... Cliffhanger on that. One last scene after that: It seems to be Hyeri-EunHo.
I feel like the last two episodes could have been done in one. Or at least, the last three episodes done in two. A bit disappointing.
I'm in episode 8. So far this drama is good. It adds to the classic "cop undercover" some spicy and original situations. Kind of situations making you to squeeze your ass, but in a different way. 😅
Ji Chang Wook acting is perfect. Rock solid. He stands the role and the whole drama. Wi Ha Joon takes more time to convince, and I feel the actor light for this kind of role. Special mention to BIBI, as a pretty poisoned beauty. Special mention to Lee Shin-Ki, jumping out of screen as knife-expert cold killer.
I'm not sure of that, but thank to someone to confirm: I saw a comment on X, someone who could check shots on smartphone dates and: It seems the whole EunHo depression situation in episode 8 was during a whole month.
I hate myself how can I wait not only hot ep 9 but for 4 episodes!?!?! how??!
It's so late, the only outcome of this drama is probably the heroine's suicide. Many of the audience will be happy: she doesn't end with one of the guys. 😅
If Eun Ho ended up with Ju Yeon that would make 0 sense since the story has never been about them + main trailer…
It's something I didn't like about episode 8. I feel like the writer had a schedule about episode content. And of course should have. But couldn't make it the best.
When I think about logic, consequences. How is it possible that Ju-Yeon didn't learn how Eun-Ho spirals? He should be curious about her. And more, her failure on TV news became something big, anyone know in the media. But for facility, the writer put that under the carpet. Like if people at Media L aren't curious to what happen to their concurrent. And anyway, Ju-Yeon should be curious about EunHo, even if he doesn't like her and like only Hyeri.
You see what I mean? The writer needed EunHo to be alone during few days, to do the depression/falldown arc, with nothing to interfere with, could be Ju-Yeon or HyeonO.
It is so frustrating that she is still hang up on her ex. It's been 4 years already and it's not like they broke…
Anything in any drama is frustrating. It's because the writer cause frustration that you are mad at watching what comes next, supposed to dissipate your frustration. Just, some writers add more frustration until the end. Some are even able to give you a good drama, but leaving you frustrated after the end. loooooooooooooooooooool!
I'm on the start of ep2, but why on earth have they made her so silly, it's uncomfortable to watch lol she lost…
It's normal. Trust the writer. Continue watching and think. (yeah this drama is a bit painful and requires the audience to think more than usual, lol!)
Yooo, just watched ep8.What is the meaning of Hyeon-Oh's last scene?He came to Eun-Ho's place, stoped then staring…
No, it's just he comes too late. Hyeri bike is gone, because.... ahah, obviously... Hyeri took it and is gone with. Later we see EunHo is gone, not at her job, not at home. We just see the diary where it's said "now I take life in hand" by Hyeri.
I'm curious to know if Hyeri will go to EunHo job?!
Ah yeah, it's true we have the feeling she quit. But nothing about a letter of resignation. Then, she will have problem to pay for her life. Hyeri job makes no money! 🤨
The main grandmother has cancer. HyeonO, Ji-On and the sister want to take Grandma to hospital. She doesn't want to, instead she wants HyeonO to get married.
05:00 - A girl called ‘Cho Rong’ has offered to marry HyeonO. I don't remember her. The dialogue does a bit of exposition to tell us who she is. She's been working for the grandmas for 7 years. Her older sister used to look after the grandmas. LOL, that's expo by the ladleful! The main point: she's ready to take care of the grandmas. She just wants to be part of the family. Arranged marriage. He's not giving his answer now, but...
09:30 - Media hall, day. Probably the Ep7 cliffhanger. He seems to have said ‘yes’, given the reaction of a colleague. So EunHo hears the news. Endless eye contact. Poor EunHo, it's completely incomprehensible to her. - He doesn't want to marry her for 8 years. - Suddenly he's marrying a stranger a few days after she rejects him.
11:20 - EunHo walks out into the hall. Can't believe it. This won't help her mental disorder. Ayaaa.
12:00 - Midday news. Her mind is absent. The sound of the other presenters fades to give the idea of her mental isolation. AND... it's malpractice!!!
13:39 - Scolding in the boss's office (Chin Guk) She doesn't care, she's totally disconnected from reality.
14:34 - At her desk. She remains absent-minded. 14:55 - A subjective shot of the director. Her back, with a blur around it and a strange sound. It reminds me of Frodo when he puts the ring on his finger in The Lord of the Rings. lol Shin's advice: try to humiliate yourself as much as possible. Ahahaha... anything to crush her. 15:50, she types an apology letter. I'm curious about the content...
16:05 - Media people are watching the show. She's become famous for her mistake. She walks through the room like a zombie. ‘It's impossible’. Comedy effect. She recites her letter of apology in voice-over. Which makes a good segue into...
16:55 - In front of the media, daytime. Rainy but sunny. She asks HyeonO for an explanation. He's ready to explain but she's too angry. Good scene. Acting feast. AGAIN!! She leaves without him being able to speak. AAgghhrargharhg. The writer breaks our nerves. Voice-over apology continues. ‘It's just me he didn't want to marry’.
20:10 - Flashback with colleague. Wondering why he broke up with her. ‘Dear viewers, this is how I became a fool’.
21:10 - Title: Dear viewers. ‘I hate myself’
21:25 - Car park, Day. Ju-Yeon arrives. Hyeri absent. He remembers, coffee scene.
22:26 - At his desk. He too is absent-minded. He invites HyeHyeon to eat some Udon. She can't believe it.
25:07 - Restaurant, night. Ju-Yeon+HyeHyeon, eating udon. He regains his confidence and thinks that Hyeri will come back. He is ready to be nice to EunHo. So she let Hyeri be. He states "I've only one heart to give" (to only one)
27:35 - EunHo in the metro. Day. Flashback EUnHo+HyeonO, day. Back to the metro. Flashback next, night. He has lost his pendant and is looking for it in a courtyard. He cries because he can't find it. Surprising. Back to the metro. Flashback continues. 33:50, back on the metro. Close-up on EunHo's absent eyes. Another flashback, at home. 35:20, back on the metro. Will she miss her station? Her smartphone rings, she doesn't notice.
35:40 - Office, day. EunHo types another apology letter. Because she was late. LOL, she did miss her station.
36:42 - Scolding in the boss's office. Ayaaa. The episode does everything it can to destroy her. He wants her to resign from everything. Plus, heavily insults her ‘you're ugly’. ‘Why did HyeonO quit 9pm for a loser like you?’
37:35 - In front of EunHo's residence, night. HyeonO is waiting in his car. He opens the compartment with the pendant. Would be willing to take it out? And take a step towards EunHo? He closes it again. No more details as the next scene takes place in the grandmother's house.
38:40 - He tells the grandmother that he doesn't want to get married. But she says not to worry, that she sees him as a member of the family now, rather than a guy with the chore of looking after her. Could this change his mind about EunHo? It's a pity she didn't tell him sooner.
40:45 - Ju-Yeon arrives. Hyeri still absent. HyeHyeon shamelessly admits that she sleeps with one of her colleagues from time to time (the guy at the hotel). Hardly believable to do that in workplace, and bad point for her, as she put a co-worker in embarassement. This point leads so she can say "we can have a place in heart for someone else". That's also quite crap, as it's mostly sex-affairs she's talking about BUT: The point is used for Ju-Yeon. So the meaning I give to it is: maybe he could consider to meet EunHo too, not just Hyeri.
42:28 - HyeonO+EunHo on TV set. Then she is fired from all the shows.
45:00 - Relaxation room. Eun-Ho+Ji-On.
47:50 - Eun-Ho at home. Reads Hyeri's letters. And the letters she sends to Hyeri. Then she writes ‘I hate myself’. Then writes something else, we don't see.
51:30 - Car park, daytime. Ju-Yeon arrives. Hyeri is not there.
53:30 - Break-up staircase, night. HyeonO remembers the break-up. 54:41, shot of the director, using a similar technique to the shot of the sun in the forest. Here, a street lamp splits its light into two rainbows. HyeonO is halfway up the stairs.
54:50 - He goes to EunHo's house. A shot of Hyeri's bike. ... which disappears in a blur.
56:05 - At EunHo's work. A parcel for her, but she's away...
57:26 - Hyeri/Eunho's diary on the desk. The wind is turning the pages backwards. Actually no, it's turning the pages forwards. The last thing she wrote: Actually it's from Hyeri. But it might be the end of the previous scene, after writing ‘I hate myself’. Hyeri writes: ‘you've failed to be happy, I'm taking over’.
The episode is rather disappointing. Angst, people thinking while looking sadly in the void, not a lot happens. The destruction of EunHo's morale is well handled, but there's a lot of slowness around it. Ju-Yeon doesn't put into practice what he says, meeting EunHo. HyeonO had the opportunity to finish his explanation in another scene, but it doesn't happen. This keeps us waiting for the cliffhanger. Presaging Hyeri return. Just a thing, I know it's a bit down to earth, but: If EunHo is fired from her job, I don't see how her and Hyeri will continue.
In a quiet place where she can quielty heal. 👍
Wait.......... she's even more sick than before now. 😂😂😂
01:18 - Interesting bus journey to the forest.
A little tip: Hyeri's face was shown at the very beginning, but it was hard to see that she was on the bus. So the previous flashback is Hyeri remembering her sister.
The girls gossiping about her: she's never spoken to them in 4 years. Hyeri is asocial.
02:10 - Continuation of journey, forest reception centre. Night time.
The students celebrate. Hyeri is left alone.
Sees firefly lights... Follows them...
... to the entrance of the forest... She enters.
Arrives in a strange field, with a kind of sun.
Superb cinematography.
04:40 - Her smartphone rings. Left at the refuge.
Then her strange semi-oniric journey continues through the forest.
She has passed the light (a kind of sun) which is now at her back, rather than in front of her.
And now the field is empty, she's lost.
We can write on her grave:
Dead missing, for having preferred to socialise with fireflies rather than with humans. lol!
06:25 - Transition to a forest painting.
At EunHo's apparently. Her smartphone rings at 5:21, HyunO. No one answers.
07:02 - Title: Your name.
‘Joo Eun Ho Ri Hye Joo’
Hyeri's name in reverse.
A sort of mirror effect in the words.
07:15 - Voice-over radio news: It's now summer.
How long has it been since the last episode?
Lots of mail dropped off in front of EunHo's house.
In a way, EunHo has disappeared, as has Hyeri.
07:58 - Lunchtime news.
Ji-On and a girl other than EunHo. JinA ?
08:56 - Ji-On + HyunO.
He complains that his partner is hitting on him.
HyunO hasn't heard anything from EunHo.
After Shin Joon gives HyunO a show...
12:00 - HyunO says that EunHo is absent but hasn't resigned.
She's just taken all her days off.
She's been away for a month.
12:56 - Parking.
WHAT??! Hyeri hasn't come to work at the car park either?!!!
EunHo has 100% disappeared!
14:00 - JuHyeon at home. Military film.
Checks his smartphone about EunHo.
Replaces the military film with EunHo's show by the sea. Nice that this scene didn't get lost in the shuffle.
A strong meaning here, it's as if it replaces his previous goal in life (the army).
Everything indicates that JuHyeon wants to be interested in EunHo as much as Hyeri...
He also tries to phone her, to no avail.
15:20 - Media. Ji-On + ChooRong.
(the girl HyeonO was supposed to marry, but it fell through)
She says she has feelings for HyunO too.
GAG! He comes in and hears this. ^^
Heol.
17:00 - ChooRong and HyeonO in the garden.
He tells her he has no feelings for her.
18:07 - The director does a special shot.
19:35 - At the grandmothers' house.
I have a hunch that the grandmother with cancer will die before the end of the drama.
A guy arrives / Flashback.
The husband who'd left after a stroke.
The guy reminds me of a family version of Clown Jae.
Drama filled without much exciting stuff at this point.
23:30 - JuHyeon at his boss's house.
Asks if he knows HyeonO.
Then wanders around the car park...
25:35 - JuHyeon at home. Motivated to box.
26:20 - Yeah, he's looking to meet HyeonO.
They chat... Finally an exciting scene.
JuHyeon tells him that she has a dissociative disorder.
Woo! HyeonO is shocked.
JuHyeon determined to meet EunHo and not just Hyeri.
A strong clue:
- EunHo broke up with HyeonO.
- But Hyeri didn't break up with JuHyeon.
Which puts JuHyeon at the top of the list!
All it takes now is for him to start socializing with EunHo too.
Plus, he's really worried about EunHo's health, and attacks HyeonO about how he doesn't seem to be.
Ouch! That's heavy stuff!
35:30 - HyeonO remembers...
Details about EunHo being ill.
36:10 - So he goes to see the therapist.
Confidentiality clause, can't answer about EunHo.
But since he paid for a session:
She's on his case. LOL.
The often cold actor is very expressive. Bravo.
39:28, In this shot, the director does a double image of HyeonO in a window, both images shot in the same direction.
HyeonO is now worried that EunHo's condition is his fault. But the therapist reassures him.
Says that EunHo needs someone to take care of her, that this will help her heal.
42:15 - Night. HyeonO knocks on EunHo's door.
But she's not there, of course.
He sees the mail piling up.
Is this the first time he's been to her house instead of phoning?
43:00 - Media. Clown Jae.
Going to be a pain with HyeonO.
But he finds out where Hyeri works. lol
The last shot is amusing.
‘oh, you're gone’.
44:40 - Night. HyeonO in the car park.
47:30, asks Min Young if Hyeri looked happy. CUT.
No answer now.
But surely she answers ‘YES’.
47:45 - Back to the grandmothers.
Tsssss.... This episode is dragging on.
I have a feeling we won't see EunHo until the cliffhanger. Tss..tss..tss...
48:15 - HyeonO in his room.
Remembers the voice-overs about EunHo.
How sick she is.
How blind he was.
Blames himself, cries... DRAMA SONG.
A poor broken man. T T
Booh ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh.
Grandma comes like a zombie behind him.
He calls to his mother, crying.
Wait... Is he crying for his mother or EunHo?
Confused!
51:20 - After lunch TV news.
Ji-On and Jin Hwa.
Subplot... tss tss.
She asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend (my foot).
She's afraid of the rumours about her and Chief Seo.
She convinces him by saying she saw EunHo !
53:15, flashback where she saw EunHo.
She is hit by a car. Harsh!
Creepy hairstyle. Like Hyeri.
She takes off running.
55:00 - HyeonO at the office.
Not answering phone. Hm.
Clown Jae arrives.
He really should answer the phone. Um...
57:40, HyeonO breaks down.
If he answered the phone, this wouldn't be happening.
AH FINALLY, he answers!!!
Of course, it's about EunHo.
CUT, we don't know what.
59:40 - JuHyeon inquires about EunHo's life. Disappearance of her sister, etc.
Really, he had plenty of time to do that before, lol!
01:00:25 - Giyi seaside village.
Shouldn't be far from the Giyidong forest?
HyeonO arrives here. Thanks to the information he got.
The policeman tells him that she lives in an abandoned hut.
He has to sign a document to go with her but--
SURPRISE !!!!!!
It's Hyeri ! The REAL one??!!!!
It's hard to see her face.
Hard to tell if it's EunHo or not.
And... Cliffhanger on that.
One last scene after that:
It seems to be Hyeri-EunHo.
I feel like the last two episodes could have been done in one.
Or at least, the last three episodes done in two.
A bit disappointing.
It adds to the classic "cop undercover" some spicy and original situations.
Kind of situations making you to squeeze your ass, but in a different way. 😅
Ji Chang Wook acting is perfect. Rock solid. He stands the role and the whole drama.
Wi Ha Joon takes more time to convince, and I feel the actor light for this kind of role.
Special mention to BIBI, as a pretty poisoned beauty.
Special mention to Lee Shin-Ki, jumping out of screen as knife-expert cold killer.
I saw a comment on X, someone who could check shots on smartphone dates and:
It seems the whole EunHo depression situation in episode 8 was during a whole month.
Many of the audience will be happy: she doesn't end with one of the guys. 😅
When I think about logic, consequences. How is it possible that Ju-Yeon didn't learn how Eun-Ho spirals? He should be curious about her.

(yeah this drama is a bit painful and requires the audience to think more than usual, lol!)
She will still have the newest samsung smartphone.
Since, I'm enjoying a lot the drama. Not an easy one.
Hyeri bike is gone, because.... ahah, obviously... Hyeri took it and is gone with.
Later we see EunHo is gone, not at her job, not at home.
We just see the diary where it's said "now I take life in hand" by Hyeri.
But nothing about a letter of resignation.
Then, she will have problem to pay for her life.
Hyeri job makes no money! 🤨
HyeonO, Ji-On and the sister want to take Grandma to hospital.
She doesn't want to, instead she wants HyeonO to get married.
05:00 - A girl called ‘Cho Rong’ has offered to marry HyeonO. I don't remember her.
The dialogue does a bit of exposition to tell us who she is. She's been working for the grandmas for 7 years. Her older sister used to look after the grandmas. LOL, that's expo by the ladleful!
The main point: she's ready to take care of the grandmas. She just wants to be part of the family. Arranged marriage.
He's not giving his answer now, but...
09:30 - Media hall, day.
Probably the Ep7 cliffhanger.
He seems to have said ‘yes’, given the reaction of a colleague.
So EunHo hears the news.
Endless eye contact.
Poor EunHo, it's completely incomprehensible to her.
- He doesn't want to marry her for 8 years.
- Suddenly he's marrying a stranger a few days after she rejects him.
11:20 - EunHo walks out into the hall.
Can't believe it. This won't help her mental disorder. Ayaaa.
12:00 - Midday news.
Her mind is absent.
The sound of the other presenters fades to give the idea of her mental isolation.
AND... it's malpractice!!!
13:39 - Scolding in the boss's office (Chin Guk)
She doesn't care, she's totally disconnected from reality.
14:34 - At her desk. She remains absent-minded.
14:55 - A subjective shot of the director.
Her back, with a blur around it and a strange sound.
It reminds me of Frodo when he puts the ring on his finger in The Lord of the Rings. lol
Shin's advice: try to humiliate yourself as much as possible.
Ahahaha... anything to crush her.
15:50, she types an apology letter.
I'm curious about the content...
16:05 - Media people are watching the show.
She's become famous for her mistake.
She walks through the room like a zombie. ‘It's impossible’.
Comedy effect.
She recites her letter of apology in voice-over.
Which makes a good segue into...
16:55 - In front of the media, daytime. Rainy but sunny.
She asks HyeonO for an explanation.
He's ready to explain but she's too angry.
Good scene. Acting feast.
AGAIN!! She leaves without him being able to speak.
AAgghhrargharhg. The writer breaks our nerves.
Voice-over apology continues.
‘It's just me he didn't want to marry’.
20:10 - Flashback with colleague.
Wondering why he broke up with her.
‘Dear viewers, this is how I became a fool’.
21:10 - Title: Dear viewers.
‘I hate myself’
21:25 - Car park, Day. Ju-Yeon arrives.
Hyeri absent. He remembers, coffee scene.
22:26 - At his desk. He too is absent-minded.
He invites HyeHyeon to eat some Udon. She can't believe it.
25:07 - Restaurant, night.
Ju-Yeon+HyeHyeon, eating udon.
He regains his confidence and thinks that Hyeri will come back.
He is ready to be nice to EunHo. So she let Hyeri be.
He states "I've only one heart to give" (to only one)
27:35 - EunHo in the metro. Day.
Flashback EUnHo+HyeonO, day.
Back to the metro. Flashback next, night.
He has lost his pendant and is looking for it in a courtyard.
He cries because he can't find it. Surprising.
Back to the metro. Flashback continues.
33:50, back on the metro.
Close-up on EunHo's absent eyes.
Another flashback, at home.
35:20, back on the metro.
Will she miss her station?
Her smartphone rings, she doesn't notice.
35:40 - Office, day.
EunHo types another apology letter.
Because she was late.
LOL, she did miss her station.
36:42 - Scolding in the boss's office.
Ayaaa. The episode does everything it can to destroy her.
He wants her to resign from everything.
Plus, heavily insults her ‘you're ugly’.
‘Why did HyeonO quit 9pm for a loser like you?’
37:35 - In front of EunHo's residence, night.
HyeonO is waiting in his car.
He opens the compartment with the pendant.
Would be willing to take it out? And take a step towards EunHo?
He closes it again.
No more details as the next scene takes place in the grandmother's house.
38:40 - He tells the grandmother that he doesn't want to get married.
But she says not to worry, that she sees him as a member of the family now, rather than a guy with the chore of looking after her. Could this change his mind about EunHo? It's a pity she didn't tell him sooner.
40:45 - Ju-Yeon arrives. Hyeri still absent.
HyeHyeon shamelessly admits that she sleeps with one of her colleagues from time to time (the guy at the hotel). Hardly believable to do that in workplace, and bad point for her, as she put a co-worker in embarassement.
This point leads so she can say "we can have a place in heart for someone else".
That's also quite crap, as it's mostly sex-affairs she's talking about BUT:
The point is used for Ju-Yeon.
So the meaning I give to it is: maybe he could consider to meet EunHo too, not just Hyeri.
42:28 - HyeonO+EunHo on TV set.
Then she is fired from all the shows.
45:00 - Relaxation room. Eun-Ho+Ji-On.
47:50 - Eun-Ho at home.
Reads Hyeri's letters.
And the letters she sends to Hyeri.
Then she writes ‘I hate myself’.
Then writes something else, we don't see.
51:30 - Car park, daytime.
Ju-Yeon arrives. Hyeri is not there.
53:30 - Break-up staircase, night.
HyeonO remembers the break-up.
54:41, shot of the director, using a similar technique to the shot of the sun in the forest. Here, a street lamp splits its light into two rainbows.
HyeonO is halfway up the stairs.
54:50 - He goes to EunHo's house.
A shot of Hyeri's bike.
... which disappears in a blur.
56:05 - At EunHo's work.
A parcel for her, but she's away...
57:26 - Hyeri/Eunho's diary on the desk.
The wind is turning the pages backwards.
Actually no, it's turning the pages forwards.
The last thing she wrote:
Actually it's from Hyeri. But it might be the end of the previous scene, after writing ‘I hate myself’.
Hyeri writes: ‘you've failed to be happy, I'm taking over’.
The episode is rather disappointing.
Angst, people thinking while looking sadly in the void, not a lot happens.
The destruction of EunHo's morale is well handled, but there's a lot of slowness around it.
Ju-Yeon doesn't put into practice what he says, meeting EunHo.
HyeonO had the opportunity to finish his explanation in another scene, but it doesn't happen.
This keeps us waiting for the cliffhanger.
Presaging Hyeri return.
Just a thing, I know it's a bit down to earth, but:
If EunHo is fired from her job, I don't see how her and Hyeri will continue.
