no he isn't sick. i wonder why some people here get into that conclusion? it is more impossible than grandma's…
Thank you so much for this. Your comments are always insightful. This makes much more sense now and I hope Ung being sick is just another theory overthinking fans like me had come up with 😅
I have rewatched episode 12 (six times to be precise) to look for crumbs and I don't like what I'm getting at! It scares me to see some subtle hints of Ung's mental health deterioration or health in general. Yeonsu's Grandma also pointed it out to Sol-i about how Ung always looks sickly and Sol-i raises concern about the condition of Ung's mind. In the late night exhibition scene, Ung says that he wants to 'spend all his time loving Yeonsu'. In the preview, Ung says he wants to 'keep living in this world'. I also have a feeling that something unpleasant might happen to Yeonsu's Grandma. There was a scene when she held her stomach and another scene where she tells Sol-i she ''doesn't have much time left''. Oh my goodness, I hope I am overthinking all these!!
This is soo true and well written! I really liked your point that since Ung had soo many people around him, maybe…
Yes, ‘talking it out’ is easier said than done. One can only communicate true feelings when one acknowledges them in the first place. I am glad you understood my perspective on this. People are expecting too much out of it but I love the way it is going, portraying the complex and realistic emotions as you had mentioned.
The baggage from the past, carried by both Yeonsu and Ung are unfolding and one cannot help but notice the amount of courage it takes them to keep it going. They have grieved their relationship in their own ways but the thing about grief is, it never really goes away. Grief is the price we pay for love. Yeonsu hid her pain behind the sound of the running water while pretending to be strong, Ung made no such attempts and suffered in his own way, most days finding it hard to get out of bed or even function properly. The difference is Ung had people looking out for him and he did not try to diminish the effects of the pain of separation by playing pretence while Yeonsu thought she had to be strong because of her grandma, not acknowledging her own suffering. This does not imply that one suffered less than the other. Ung does not want to go through this ordeal, he knows that he would never recover again. Yeonsu knows she has caused so much pain while she suffered silently too.
These are two very different experiences but the pain feels real. Being abandoned and abandoning someone are not the same but both takes a lot of courage, when you are still in love with the other.
What a ride the latest episode has been! I went from learning to accept the changes to hyperventilating real quick. Go Geon has gone through a paradigm shift in character, and boy, is it for the worse. While I will applaud the impeccable performances by Na In Woo (On Dal) and Lee Ji Hoon (Go Geon), the time lapse was oddly dissatisfying. I am no longer going to board a ship that is bound to sink but I will tell you, the chemistry of Na In Woo and Kim So Hyun is undeniable.
