I would love it to be 9.3 or more. Maybe once all our 10 ratings get logged it'll bump up! And remember a lot of people are going to watch this now that it's over and binge, or once it's available in their country.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME THE DAMN DEER AGAIN. "SHUT UP YOU STUPID DEER" Moon Young has been rubbing off on Kang Tae. :) Omg table kissing. Daaaaaaaang. Yes. Yes. YESSSSS.
Aw Sang Tae telling Jae Su about quitting to be an illustrator but he just burned him JS: I wanted to be really cool when I let you go. ST: It's hard for you to be cool. Let's be honest. JS: Sometimes, it's not too bad to lie. ST: No, I need to be honest. JS: You're way too honest.
MY: Why did you hang my photo on your mom's tree? KT: I thought she might want to see you. MY: Who did you tell her I was? KT: That you're Sang Tae's best friend which is something she always longed for. And that you're also the woman I love. I told her the three of us are a family now and that she shouldn't worry. MY: I feel like she might really hate me. KT: Let's be honest. You're not exactly likable. MY: Are you kidding me? KT: Why do you want to be liked by others? Just be good to me. MY: I'm sleepy. I'm sleepy. I said I'm sleepy. Omg her insistance that she is SLEEPY aka let's go to BED. :) Their little hand holding couch cuddle ugh this is so precious.
Sang Tae is going to sleep at the rooftop apartment so he KNOWS what's about to go down. Hehehehe. Smart man. And telling Jae Su to get sinus surgery because he snores. But Jae Su just wants to be a little brother to Sang Tae. C'mon Sang Tae, let him in the family, too!
O M G THE CLOTHES ALL OVER THE FLOOOOOOR. I AM SHRIEKING. NAKED BED TIMES. YEEEEEEEEES. My happy babies. Your happiness allotment in life is here. And she comes up to him and back hugs him while he's chopping.
KT: Careful. I'm holding a knife. I realized that I forgot to tell you something. MY: What's that? KT: I'm jobless now. MY: You quit your job? KT: Yes. MY: Why? KT: I want to try new things. MY: Don't tell me you're really thinking of going to school. KT: I'll study for the national college entrance exam-- MY: No. If you must, get your degree online. KT: I don't need your permission. MY: Why would you study when you've worked hard all your life? Don't bother. Don't bother doing anything. Just stay right by my side like a parasite. KT: I told you I'm holding a knife. MY: I take that back. I didn't meant to say "parasite." KT: What's your plan? You told me you're not going to write anymore. MY: There's nothing I want to write about. KT: Then what about that story where those three people go on a trip in a camping car? I've been looking forward to that. MY: Do you want to read it? KT: I want to show it off. You and Sang Tae worked on it. So I want to show it off to people. MY: Follow me.
Her showing Kang Tae the drawing Sang Tae did of him. :) "You must really like her seeing that you confessed your feelings for her in your dream." And Kang Tae can't even really recognize it because he's just never seen himself happy. Omg he's so happy now. He's smiling as he looks at it. And she's going to publish that book! Yay!
The person I like most is myself. !!!!! Yes. "Darn, that sly fox." That is the best thing. You can love other people but only if you love yourself first. What a great message.
Aw Dr. Oh giving Pil Wong the shoes to walk out of the facility. "It's my last prescription for you as your doctor. Put them on and walk out of here. Don't shut your eyes and pretend like you can't find the exit. Leave with those shoes on, and don't return until you find the door." And they fit perfectly. Then looking at his sleeping son in the break room area haha. But he pulls him out by his ear and the didn't know he was their son? Fire him. I was going to quit anyway! "I thought he'd grow up if I made him work for me, but he's hopeless." Omg savage Daddy Oh. "I'm going to take him with me when I retire. So keep that in mind, and have a good day." Hahaha.
Omggggg Sang Tae saying his phrase and Moon Young said "Don't worry, Sang Tae. We not only kissed, but we also French kissed." And Kang Tae kicks her under the table. Hehehehe. And Sang Tae is like what and she's all "Yes, but that wasn't enough, so we even..." Kang Tae kicking her and she calls him out on it hahahaha. Kang Tae getting the topic back on the book and not between the sheets hehehe. "You did such an excellent job on your homework, so I decided to give you a reward by publishing the book." :) I still want to the camping car, though. For adventures. "You guys really are best friends." :)
And Sang Tae giving her the egg when she was being frustrated with her chopsticks. "Don't be stubborn when things don't work. You need to learn to try other methods." "You need to stop nagging." Heeee and all the while Kang Tae is just smiling.
Sang In saying "My reputation has hit rock bottom. What are you going to do now?" "Pick it back up." She's giving him the manuscript to make up for all the bribery money he had dole out in her stead hahaha. And then he manuscript of her last book but he has to choose! "I'm not going to publish a book that was written by someone who gave you so much pain just so I can make a fortune." Yay! And she asks if he'll regret it but he said he likes her books more! Although leaving the manuscript there with coffee spilled on it...I hope it just gets thrown away!
Hee Sang In wants to stay even though he does have to go back to Seoul. Hint hint, Joo Ri. Omg no Sang In was gonna be "a darn peddler" but Seung Jae missed out on collecting it and I really hope it's in the trash now. Omg she's visiting psycho mommy in prison? And she'll do her spiel about being strong and psycho like her but no. She's relieved she didn't turn into a demon like her mother. "The fact that you don't even know that you're pitiful makes me pity you even more. You only have an appetite. But you know nothing about warmth. You won't ever know. And you're not even interested. That's why we're different. Unlike you, I've learned how warm and nice it feels." And she'll do her best to erase her from her memory. Yes she will, because she is in her happiness allotment in life, ok? No more pain.
MY: You erased the butterfly. ST: No...No, I didn't erase it. I just...I just painted over it. You can't tell, right? Now I just need to draw a new butterfly. MY: You're right. If you can't erase it, you just need to cover it with something better.
"Butterfly. You told me that the word "psycho" comes from the word psyche. But to us, it's a symbol of cure. A cure that heals our soul. You should remember that. " YESSSSSS. CURE!!!! Healing! Something better! And Sang Tae is finally happy and painting a butterfly!
Jae Su offering to go to school with Kang Tae and he's like do you really want to do that. JS: No, not at all. KT: Exactly. Don't try to follow what I do. Do what you really want to do, and go where you want to go. JS: What does that mean? Are you telling me to get lost because you don't need me anymore?Are you saying I'm worthless and nuggety? KT: It's "nugatory". You just pronounced it like chicken nuggets. JS: Exactly. I'm so angry and upset at you that I feel like a useless piece of chicken nugget. KT: Hey, big brother. My big brother, Jae Su. JS: What's the matter with you? KT: I'll treat you like an older brother now. You're a year older than me. JS: I thought you didn't want a big brother. What's with the sudden change? KT: Now that I think about it it's better to have a lot of big brothers. I was able to hang in there because you were always there by my side. You made me laugh, helped me breathe, and made me feel less lonely. Thank you, Jae Su. JS: You punk. Then you'd better be good to me, okay? KT: Okay, I'll be good. JS: Call me "big brother." KT: My big brother. JS: One more time. KT: My big brother, Jae Su. JS: One more time. KT: That's enough. Heee the slip ups. Kang Tae is so smart for having not going to school. And he's saying Jae Su is his hyung. Aw.
Hahaha Moon Young and Sang Tae going over illustrations. And she wants the eyes half the size of the face. And Kang Tae bringing fruit but Moon Young pushes him I'm "I'm not an outsider." "Yes, you're an outsider. That's why you should stay outside." Omg he was trying to get all flirty but she touches his cheek then turns and slams the door in his face heeeeee.
Omg Sang In and Seung Jae actually going to trash for the manuscript. I mean I don't want them to find it, it is important for trust and well being to have it stay in the trash! And she quit in front of his face. Joo Ri meeting with Sang In telling her to be nice to Seung Jae, the poor kid. And he's like she's at least six years older than you. Ha! Ah, so she did get it. I don't know how I feel about that, though. I don't want Moon Young to be hurt but she made a vow to paint over the bad with good. So let Sang In and Seung Jae make money off it, Moon Young will be happy with her books and her new life with Kang Tae and Sang Tae.
Awww Kang Tae sneaking into the work room. Finding the Real Face. That's totally inspired by Kang Tae finding his real face, his real happiness. And for Sang Tae and Moon Young, too.
Aw we finally have a small time skip in the sense it takes a small amount of time for books to get published. Maybe less than a year with children's books with mostly illustrations. Sang Tae so happy for his works to be published! Sang In thinks it won't do well because the book is so different from her others but it's good to grow and change, Sang In!
They went to the mom tree to show her the book. Omg I WANNA READ THE BOOOOOOOOK.
"Once upon a time in a castle in the deep forest, there lived three people who had their real faces stolen by the Shadow Witch. The boy wore a mask with an awkward smile. Then there was the princess who was loud but all empty inside, and there was also a man who was trapped inside a box. They couldn't make any facial expressions because their faces were stolen from them. They had no way of understanding each other's feelings, so they always misunderstood one another and fought." Omg everyone's crying happy tears and it is so beautiful omg. I'm crying, too.
Omg no one's coming because they're branded as liars. But Seung Jae is like I'm the one reporter who will report it, it'll be fine! Bwahahaha.
Omg the finished mural! "I thought you were a total quack, but you are a competent doctor after all. You helped Sang Tae spread his wings and fly like those butterflies." "Gosh, I didn't do anything. He did it all on his own."
Aw the patient that lost her daughter came back! And she's going well, that's good. And Jeong Tae is looking for A Reum, too. AHHHH They get their happy ending, too. And Jae Jae moment! Ki Do is doing better, too! And he said "But where's my handsome Kang Tae and that fiery writer?" Heee.
Omg Moon Young and Sang Tae bickering over who will narrate the book. "Are you an attention seeker?" "What? What's that? A seeker? Do they look for things? What is that? " Kang Tae is like forget it I'll narrate it! That's be nice, though. his voice is good. Or they all can narrate it.
"The Box Man spoke 'If we want to stop fighting and find happiness, we must retrieve our stolen faces.'"
"So they hopped in their camping car and began their journey to find their faces. Then one day, they ran into a mother fox who was bawling, curled up on the snow."
"The Masked Boy asked the mother fox, 'Ma'am, why do you keep crying?'"
"'Oh, I came out here to find some food but dropped my baby whom I was carrying on my back somewhere in the snow.'"
"The mother fox's tears had run dry. She wailed while beating her chest. When the Masked Boy saw that, warm tears started gushing from his eyes."
"Then the snow began to melt quickly, and the baby fox, who was frozen under the snow, soon appeared."
"The three of them resumed their journey. Soon, they ran into a clown who was dancing naked in a field of thorny flowers. The Emotionless Princess asked, 'Why are you dancing with all your might, knowing you'll be pricked by thorns?' 'I feel that this is the only way to make people look at me. But it hurts and no one's looking at me.' He answered. Then the Emotionless Princess walked into the field of thorny flowers and started dancing with the clown. 'I'm an empty can, so I won't be hurt even if I get pricked by the thorns.' When she began hopping and dancing, loud clanking noises echoed from her empty torso. And upon hearing those sounds, people began to flock to where they were. The crowd watched their dance and applauded them.
Omg they start bickering in the middle of the narration. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ And it's all a big kerfuffle. I WANNA HEAR THE WHOLE STORY!!!!
"Don't be too harsh on them. They argue like that because they still have a lot of growing up to do." Joo Ri's mom is right, even though Kang Tae still needs to grow up some more, too. he's still level headed in that regard more so than Moon Young and Sang Tae.
'Dear my fake, real mom. Thank you for all the delicious meals. I want to eat the food that you make every day. I really like you, Ms. Kang. Here's a heart for you. Six hearts." Aw. :) And Kang Tae hugs Ms. Kang. So sweet.
Omg they blew up online because Seung Jae posted it and Sang In is just like sigh. Hahahaha. Ohhhh dang Sang In said he's starting fresh but not in Seoul! He's going to stay in Seongjin City for Joo Ri? Rent is expensive in Seoul, plus you're here. Finally he says something smooth. Aw the little pinky touch.
Ahhhhh Dr Oh called them the troublemaker trio. Omg I love them all so much.
KT: Sir, I know you got this in return for the mural, but it's too much. Just the gesture is enough. Doc: But I want to give you this. All three of you went through a lot because of what happened. I hired someone I should've never hired. I owe you an apology for that as well, so just accept it and let's call it even. That will make me feel better. KT: But accepting this doesn't feel right. Doc: Then just keep your word and hang out with me when you have some free time. KT: Will do. Doc: You should go on a long trip in that camping car. There are many things you can learn on the road. But I must say, it'll be exhausting to look after those two. KT: Right, but I think it'll be fun. YESSSSSSS THE CAMPING CAR WHICH I SAW IN THE WRAP UP PICTURE!!!!
Now Kang Tae has to convince Sang Tae that the camping car is for going on a trip not running away. ST: What's the difference? I don't want to go. KT: Well, when you run away, you go to a faraway place to never return. But a trip is going somewhere far with the intention of returning eventually. ST: Why leave if you're going to return eventually? I don't want to go. KT: Then why eat if you're going to poop it all out anyway?
Heeeee. And him going to watch her get ready in front of the mirror with his head on his crossed forearms, so cute.
KT: You said you've run out of stories that you want to write about. We should go on a trip so that you can find some inspiration. I heard writers often get ideas for their next books while traveling. MY: We'll eat, sleep, and drive. On repeat. Do you really think doing that over and over in that small camping car will help me find inspiration out of thin air? KT: You don't know that until we actually begin our trip. You can try to find some inspiration while I nurture my mind and study. And Sang Tae will work on his drawings. Great plan, right? MY: I'm not sure. KT: Hey. You said you wanted to go on a long trip with me. MY: Maybe not a long trip. If you really want to go, let's do a day trip. KT: "A day trip?" Are you kidding me? I just want to hit the road with no destination in mind and keep on driving freely without worrying about the future. Whether it takes a month or half a year, we'll keep on driving until we want to stop-- MY: Calm down. Don't get so worked up. Try counting to three when you can't control yourself. It'll help you calm down. HAAAAAA. No but really.
And in the next scene Kang Tae all drunk complaining to Jae Su and Sang In. "How could they do this to me? I've been suppressing myself all these years and just enduring it all. They obviously know that, so how could they do this to me?" Aw poor boo feels ostracized during the publication process and now he's just venting after never being able to. So cute. It's not like he wants to go to Serengeti, he doesn't have a passport. Or outer space. WINK. "I just wanted the three of us to go on a trip in that camping car. Just driving through the mountains and fields, you know? I said, 'Let's just go with the flow and see where it takes us.' And they can't even do that for me?" Awwwww he's dead-drunk.
He come home and they're there waiting for him on the stairs with suitcases!!!! They're gonna go on a long trip! They were surprising him! A FAMILY T SHIRT OMG. Overwhelmed, happy, drunk Kang Tae glomping hugging Moon Young and Sang Tae. OMG GUYS I AM SO HAPPY. Mang Tae on the rear view mirror!!!!! KANG TAE SO HUNGOVER HAHAHAHAHA. "Whatever. You always say that you're okay. You're obviously not okay now." Omg the little bickering and she said bullshit and he's never heard that word before? "Did you swear at me just now?" Hahahaha. Omfg Kang Tae vomiting in the field while they eat. Hehehe. "Are you getting a reality check?" And Moon Young saying Sang Tae needs to learn slang but he says Moon Young needs to learn more manners. ㅎㅎㅎ
Omg the camping car montage with the song. Omg this is the best. THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!! So much good footage for videos and arts!!! (My mind goes there a lot, I used to toodle in graphic design for shows for fun but it's been so long.)
MY: You're not going to bed? KT: I can't fall asleep. MY: I'm sorry. KT: For what? MY: For hurting you twice physically. I really hope you'll never be hurt again. And...thanks. For bringing me on this trip. KT: What's gotten into you? This is so unlike you. MY: I love you, Moon Kang Tae. I'm not pretending. I love you for real. I really mean it. Sweet babies in love. :)
Omg Sang Tae wants to work and draw instead of having more fun in the camping car. BUT THAT MEANS MOON YOUNG AND KANG TAE CAN KEEP PLAYING. P L A Y I N G. Yes.
KT: Will you be okay without me? Won't you need me? ST; Moon Kang Tae belongs to Moon Kang Tae. You belong to yourself, and I belong to myself. Omg how beautiful. Yes. I'm so happy. This is one of the best freaking happy endings ever omg. And the hugging and the thanking each other. I am an emotional wreck. AND THE SHOT OF BABY SANG TAE DURING THE HUG!!!! And he still says 'A kiss is better than a fight, okay?' Ahem. Now that you're out of that camping car there will be lots of kissing, and French kissing and even MORE!
"They began a new journey to find their stolen faces, and the evil Shadow Witch appeared in front of them once again. She kidnapped the Masked Boy, who shed tears on behalf of the mother fox, as well as the Emotionless Princess who danced with the clown." "'The two of you will never be able to find your happy faces.' After putting such a curse on them, she locked them in a deep, dark mole tunnel. The Box Man found the mole tunnel a few days later, but the entrance was so narrow that he couldn't go in." "'What do I do? I need to take this box off my head in order to go into the tunnel.'" "That moment, the Masked Boy's voice reached him from inside the tunnel." "'Mister, don't worry about us. Just run far away. The Shadow Witch will return soon.'" "However, the Box Man mustered up the courage to take the box off his head. Then he went inside the tunnel and saved the Masked Boy and the Emotionless Princess. Upon getting out of the dark tunnel, the two of them saw the man's face covered with dirt and grime instead of the box and burst out laughing. They laughed and giggled. While laughing uncontrollably, the Masked Boy's mask suddenly fell off." "The can surrounding the Emotionless Princess' torso also fell off and made a clanking noise. The Box Man, now out of his box, said this when he saw the two of them finding their true faces while laughing." "Happy. He's happy. I'm happy." "What the Shadow Witch had stolen from them was not their true faces but their courage to find happiness."
Omg some bloopers! Yes! I want them all! So fun!
O H M Y GOD I AM SO HAPPY. THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD ENDING. I A M SO H A P P Y!!!!!!!! Y'ALL!!! I AM GOING TO MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!!!
Clicked for Sung Hoon. I love him. And I knew he was a swimmer. You can tell because he is RIPPED. Well he's likely not always not but in My Secret Romance in the pool scenes? Oh yes.
I haven't seen any of these because I'm still so new to watching kdramas. But I'm adding them to my list! I think there a few I'd say I liked more than maybe the general consensus/I rated it higher than the average it got? Because This Is My First Life, The Beauty Inside, Clean With Passion For Now, 365: Repeat the Year. Currently airing? Into the Ring has been a delight and I want to say Flower of Evil but it's 4 episodes in don't want to say it won't screw the pooch just yet but it's really good so far. Also Train has been very underrated!
SHE DRUGGED SANG TAE AW MAN MY POOR SWEET TRUSTING BOY. He's just worried about about Moon Young and Kang Tae making up. :(
She wanted to see which one he's choose. Omg the one thing that drives me nuts about this show is about "choosing" people. She says he "ruined" Moon Young omg are you kidding me. And he's like "is your daughter artwork to you?" And yeah she goes on and on about how she created her and "she's my work of art". But Kang Tae said THE phrase. "Moon Young doesn't belong to you. She's a person, not a piece of art. She's a human being!" She wants him to go and run away he straight up talks informally to her during all this 아니. "No. I'll never do that." And her other option is kill me and get your revenge? Ok preach it Kang Tae "Give it up. That messed up ending you're dreaming of will never come. Because I will never give up on Moon Young."
Little Moon Young "A bird with a broken wing can't fly anyway. I should kill it, right?" :( Poor broken baby bird herself, Moon Young. All Ms. Moon did was try to help Moon Young and because she went to Moon Young's mom who liked her broken little bird SHE broke she decides to kill Ms. Moon this is just too much...I mean MY GOD. Omg the shot of little baby Sang Tae and Kang Tae facing her ughhh I love those shots of seeing them with their child selves. Because that's what he feels like in that moment. I know he's not going to keep choking her because Moon Young's voice in his head said "She's still my mom."
Ahhhh she stuck him with something aksjdhlakj he's not a coward, he's just not insane like you! He was strong for letting go! MOON YOUNG SHOWS UP YAYYYYY!!!! Tell her Moon Young! "No. I'm not a monster like you!" And she goes to stab her and we get Kang Tae stopping her omg parallels to the first time this happened! "You promised me that you wouldn't do this." And she's going on about her hair ugh please psycho mommy. SANG TAE WAKING UP FOR THE WIN!!!!! "Don't hurt my brother and sister." Yesssss. THE SHOT OF ALL OF THEM IN THEIR KID SELVES UGHHHHHH SO GOOOOOOOD. And the book he did it with was a fairy tale book.
Omg is it this easy? She's arrested and omg Dr. Oh dabbing her blood lip "It looks like someone smacked you hard on the head." ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Lady I don't know what you're smoking but your plan didn't work? They WILL be together because like he says "People stick together because they're weak. We lean on each other like this. That's what makes us human." And also a triangle is a very strong shape! Well I hope she truly exited stage left and STAYS LEFT.
Awww so sweet sitting there by his bed waiting for him to wake up. And Dr. Oh telling Sang Tae he was so proud of him for taking care of Moon Young and Kang Tae and taught her a lesson. It was so good that Sang Tae took her down, for his own healing, too. I love it. Ugh Moon Young apologizing to Kang Tae because he always gets hurt because of her "every single time" That's part of love, though! No if you stay with her life will not be miserable, Moon Young! Stop thinking that! She still thinks she doesn't deserve it but I hope Kang Tae talks some sense into her.
Awww Sang In got caught speeding and when Seung Jae and Joo Ri walked in he just calls Joo Ri's name. Cute. And him thinking of Moon Young and Kang Tae. SI: I think for some people, it's just really heard to live a normal life. It feels like some mean gods sent all kinds of misfortune their way. I feel so bad for them, and it makes me upset and furious." JR: The law of the total number of misfortunes. I heard we all have a set amount of happiness and misfortune assigned to us. If their lives have been filled with misfortune up till now, it means only happiness awaits them. SI: I really hope that's the case. ME, TOO. What a good exchange!
Teehee Sang Tae recounting the story so many times to Jae Su that "he has it memorized". But this is something so good for Sang Tae. He's got pride in himself! And then he says "Is he Sleeping Beauty or what? When the heck will he wake up?" Haha. And Sang Tae says "Only a kiss can wake Sleeping Beauty." Omg yes, if only.
Aw Kang Tae falling out of the bed upon awakening. And finding Moon Young and she is saying we need to talk. If only the talking was Kang Tae's talking with the lips and tongue. Girl you are not saying
MY: Please leave. Leave this place. Like you said, I'm not an empty can. I have feelings too, so I will never forget the terrible things you and Sang Tae had to experience here because of me. They'll stay with me forever. And you'll probably suffer emotionally every time you see me. KT: We won't forget any of it. We'll overcome it. You said that's the only way we can become real adults whose souls can grow. We should just...Let's just think of it as a nightmare. I can do it. MY: Stop pretending. Stop pretending like it doesn't hurt. Stop pretending like you're okay. Pretending to be okay...You're going to do it in front of me. Not just Sang Tae. And seeing that masked face will make me walk on eggshells around you. It'll suffocate me. I'll be tormented. I don't want to live like that. That's why I'm asking you to leave. Move out tomorrow with Sang Tae. KT: Moon Young. Do you really mean it? MY: Yes. I just want to live alone. Like I used to. Don't believe her lies! She shouldn't be staying in that house alone, either! Don't give up on her, Kang Tae!!!!
I love how their breakfast conversation is over Moon Young and Kang Tae. And Jae Su countering Sang In's response about Moon Young being fussy but that Kang Tae wins someone over like a nine-tailed fox. And then Joo Ri's mom says "It sounds like the two of them are meant to be." :) Please be happy.
Kang Tae going to wake up Sang Tae and he immediately asks Kang Tae if he's okay and did he sleep well. And about it hand. And he just thanks him and hugs him. :) And Kang Tae has to explain that she was a terrible person pretending to be nice who hated seeing other people happy. And he talks about reading the book. Only up to page 63 because it was boring, ha! And the metaphor of not throwing away something just because someone bad gave it to you. Moon Young's mom gave the world Moon Young. But just because Moon Young's mom is bad doesn't mean we need to throw away Moon Young. Please! Have him just not leave and be like you're not getting rid of me that easy!
KT: If Moon Young wants us to move out, what will you do? ST: We're a family, so we should live together. KT: But what if she tells us to move out? ST: We can move out. We should take Moon Young with us though. KT: Why? ST: Because she'll be left alone if the two of us move out. If she's left all alone, she'll be bored. She always says that she's bored and asks me to play with her. KT: But what if she says that only the two of us should move out? ST: Over my dead body. We'll just say, "Over my dead body." That will make us the winner. Over my dead body! We're going to win. KT: *starts laughing* ST: Over my dead body. We're not moving out. Over my dead body. We're not going anywhere.
YESSSSSSSS. OVER MY DEAD BODY ARE WE LEAVING SO STICK TO HER LIKE A STICKER PUT ON THE GLASS OF A PICTURE FRAME AT THE STORE THAT WILL NEVER COME OFF.
Doc: Why? Are you running away again to a different hospital? KT: No. I want to take it easy now. Doc: I guess we were thinking the same thing. I'm going to quit so I can spend my time doing what I want. Shall we hang out together? KT: I already have someone to hang out with. Doc: Can you at least act like you're torn? And him asking for a session, I think he's really going to delve deep and become resolute in staying with Moon Young and how it will be best for them to heal together because leaving just leaves people lonely and this show is all about togetherness and the power of family.
Sang Tae asking Moon Young if she's ok and saying look here's all the food Kang Tae made for us. Moon Young saying they won't do the book? No! Y'all need to work together and be a family, both! And she said move out by the end of the say and OVER MY DEAD BODY. I DON'T CARE. Haha TELL her Sang Tae. The Moon brothers are not going to give up on you that easily!
KT: To be honest, I'm not sure if I can't handle it. Do Hui Jae. The things that woman said to me, her face, and the things that she did...Whenever I think about those things, my mom, who was killed unjustly, and my brother, who saw that while hiding...I just can't get any of it out of my head, and I can't breathe. Despite that, I lied to Moon Young. I said that I could overcome all of it. But...Moon Young won't buy it. Doc: Being together torments you. But if you break up, it'll be equally painful. If both options feel like death, wouldn't it be better to suffer together? Be honest with me. I bet you wanted to kill Do Hui Jae when you were alone with her. KT: Yes. Doc: Then why didn't you kill her? KT: Because I thought of Moon Young. Doc: Right, exactly. The one that torments you can also be the one to save you. You were about to explode, but she prevented you from blowing up. LIKE A SAFETY PIN IN A BOMB!!!! THEY ARE EACH OTHER'S SAFETY PIN.
Aw Moon Young wanting to retire. Noooo. You have to write and you have to make one with a happy ending! I like that you're selling the house, though, Moon Young. But Sang In denying it, he can't imagine wok without Moon Young! "Hey, do you think I'm being like this to sell books and make money? Writing fairy tales is the only way Moon Young can communicate with the world. It's the only way she can talk and breathe. If she doesn't want to do that anymore, it means she's just going to die!" See??? It's her outlet and she NEEDS it!
Aw Kang Tae saying he'll visit and come to plant a tree, but not a gingko one, those stink. Haha!
KT: You seemed to be having a nightmare. MY: Pack up and leave. I want you to leave today. I just need Mang Tae. I don't need Kang Tae anymore. Oh, right. You already told me you don't want anyone to rely on you. So that's good. Now, hurry up and leave. KT: Are you really going to live alone? MY: I've been living alone all my life. People like me aren't able to live among others. It's better to be secluded. KT: Why? MY: Because that's how I was born. KT: Moon Young. You can't live by yourself anymore. MY: Why not? KT: Because now, you know how it feels to feel warm at heart and to have a full stomach. So just admit it. MY: Admit what? KT: That you're just a little kid who wants to be loved. MY: Cut the nonsense and just move out. KT: Do you want me to tell you a story? MY: No. KT: A long time ago... MY: Shut up. KT: There lived two poor brothers who cared for each other very much. One day, it was the harvest season, so they both harvested rice. The older brother was worried his little brother might run out of rice, so he secretly carried a sack of rice at night and left it in front of his little brother's house. The same day, the little brother also carried a sack of rice and put it in front of his older brother's house thinking that his older brother might need more due to his big family. When they woke up the next day, they both noticed that they still had the same amount of rice as before. The two brothers thought it was strange. So they did the same thing that night and left a sack of rice in front of each other's house. And that continued for days. Do you know what the moral of this story is? "Siblings who care a lot about each other should live together so they won't end up doing pointless work." It's funny, isn't it? MY: What a joke. What kind of moral is that? KT: My brother came up with it. Do you not like me and my brother? I know you do. Right? Let's not do anything that will waste our time. I don't care where we live. I just want us to live together. Okay? Moon Young. Answer me. Can we talk? Will you stop being so stubborn? MY :Did you just yell at me? KT: No. I think my voice tends to sound louder in this room. I'll leave you to get some rest if you're tired. Awwwwwww. He is saying I'm not giving up on you! Ahaha him recounting to Sang Tae and him being like I mean some people make stories sounds boring that's what you did. "Let's be honest. BLACKPINK is the most popular." ㅎㅎㅎ
Kang Tae made dinner and all Moon Young keeps telling him to leave and he uses that same lie he used earlier about the water pipe being broken........it'll take days to fix. Hahahaha. He's gonna barnacle is way back in. But wait Joo Ri is calling Moon Young about her mom being sick? And if Moon Young goes there and sees that the water is working...ohoho I can't wait for the next scene.
Omg her mom is just sitting there eating popcorn hahahahahaha. "Are you really sick? You seem to have more energy than I do." Awww they're all caring for her and they just want her to eat! See, Moon Young, you have a whole network of people helping you. Kang Tae got Sang In, Joo Ri, and Joo Ri's mom all in on helping her! Just to eat a meal! Omg and we have Seung Jae being aeygo with Jae Su over the phone? What part of the plan is that? Just that he likes her? YES. JAE JAE!
Aw her saying shit it's so hot. Classic Moon Young but her asking "Why is everyone so nice to me? I'm not your family." And Joo Ri's mom just says you're pretty and eat well and "it's nice how you like Kang Tae for who he is even though he has nothing to offer." Well he does. He offers to love her! That's pretty big.
Awwww Kang Tae planting to tree to honor his mom and putting the portrait with him, Moon Young and Sang Tae on it. :) "Whenever we miss her, we just need to come here." And Sang Tae STILL going on about Moon Young being prettier with the longer hair hehehe. And them growing up well and now the tree needs to grow big, too. And he says he'll take care of Sang Tae and Sang Tae says she didn't have you to take care of me. "Older brothers are supposed to take care of younger brothers." And he did! "Yes, but you're all grown up now, so it's time you take care of yourself. I'm busy now. " Hahahaha how precious!
JS: I sometimes think he might be a psychopath. He's way too cold-hearted and indifferent. MY: I agree. I really hate it how he sometimes puts on a fake expression. JS: I know, right? My gosh. On top of that, he's also out of his mind. Do you know what he said to me last time at my restaurant? Serengeti. Do you even know where that is? At first, I thought he was talking about spaghetti. Serengeti is a place in Africa. It's all the way in Africa. he wanted to go there when he doesn't even have a passport. He's crazy. MY: Why is that crazy? JS: What? MY: Why is it crazy that he wants to go to Serengeti? Why? Seeeee Moon Young, he is constantly thinking about you. Also Jae Su's constant word slip-ups I need a whole gifset or something of them, someone!
Awwwwww Sang Tae waiting on the stairs for Moon Young! And her saying to him what will Kang Tae use as his next excuse to stay. And he just says 'over my dead body' again. And he still did his homework even though she had said forget it. But Sang Tae wants to be an illustrator! So check his work, Moon Young! "If you don't write, I'll publish a book with someone else." And he drew a happy Kang Tae in his sleep and she's seeing it. :) "It's not fake. He's really happy. I drew him because I saw it for the first time." Her tears!!!! "It's a happy expression. Why are you crying?" "Because it's beautiful." And she wants it and Sang Tae lets her have it but he really wants to publish a fairy tale book!
Moon Young going to the tree and saying I'm sorry and Kang Tae coming up in a suit. :) KT: I followed you. Your hobby is to kidnap people. My hobby is to tail people. MY: Do you think that's funny? KT: I might not be funny. But I do want to impress you. I'll keep trying. I'll do everything I can to overcome what happened and cope with it. So please stop pushing me away. Let me stay by your side. Please? MY: *starts to walk away but he blocks her and holds out his hand* KT: Then what about this? How will you compensate for this? MY: I'm sorry I made you get hurt. *walks away again but he runs after her again* KT: I love you! I love you, Moon Young. MY *keeps walking away * KT: I love you! I said, I love you! I love you so much! I said I love you! Why are you leaving? Hey! I love you. Moon Young. *takes off jacket* Moon Young, I love you. I love you. Will you please stop?
OMG THE PARALLELS HE SAID WHAT SHE SAID IN THE BEGINNING EXCEPT HE MEANS IT HERE AND OMGGGGG the patients standing there "shouldn't he get admitted?" And Jeong Tae saying "love changes people." :)
KT: I love you. Is that not it? Is it something else? Will you please say something? MY: If you tell me you love me one more time, I might just... KT: You might just what? * kisses her* Do this? *lifts her up and sets her down and goes in for a smoooooth kiss* Omggggggggggg the fire pouring and dripping out of the screen in this moment omggggggg. Why did it have to stop there!!!!!!!
Omg the preview!!!!! It looks like we're going to get either a bittersweet or full on happy ending. I MIGHT DIE IF WE DO NOT OKAY Y'ALL?!
I am loving the twists every episode and we're only on episode 4. I really think everything we thought we knew about Do Hyun Soo/Baek Hee Sung is going to be turned on its head. He's certainly had plenty of opportunities for murder and when you think about it he's not actually been confirmed with what's shown on camera to actually kill anyone. Though I laughed so hard at episode 3 when he said 'of course murder isn't easy, how much do you weigh? to Reporter Kim. I think he's been through a lot in his life from outside trauma forced on him what with his father being a murderer and the "exorcisms?!" and he thinks he's more messed up than he is. Like he almost wanted to stop genuinely feeling any and all emotions so he suppresses them when in reality he does feel them but what he presents and what he really feels he felt weren't aligned, maybe because he felt he didn't deserve the love he'd gotten from Ji Won? Especially with the weight of his past being on him and all the mess with the fake parents. Still need more info on that and why he's their son on paper but what exactly happened to the real Hee Sung that he's in a vegetative state? But in episode 4 he saved Ji Won from being crushed by all those tools and got hurt himself so that shows he cares about her! And when he talked to Eun Ha on the phone in the facetime call I think he was keeping himself more calm because he's about to meet that actual confirmed murderer taxi driver guy but he was trying to say don't cry I'll be there soon to her. I don't know, we'll see. I'm excited for next week's episodes!
I've only just caught up this past week but I am loving this one. It's funny but has some politics AND there's a great romcom element in it. Not to mention Se Ra And Gong Myung have amazing chemistry and skinship. Like people are sleeping on this and we had like 3 episodes of kisses in a row and more skinship in the most recent ep. I love Se Ra's brazenness and Gong Myung just adores her and lets her wear the pants in the relationship. I love their teaming up to take down the corruption in Mawon-gu. Never seen Nana in anything before but she is KILLING it as Goo Se Ra. I love her character so much. Just iconic to me, already.
Thank you for reading and commenting ^^ That's a brilliant analogy! It's true something can be popular or hyped…
Thanks for the gif list! There are a number of dramas I think I'll really love by reading the plot and having seen clips in fanmade vids or listicle vids on YouTube but I'm...saving them if that makes sense? Right now I'm watching a fair amount of on air dramas so I want to "save them". Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is one of them. I know I'll like it, haha, I just know it. But I still haven't watched it. Same for a lot of other ones. I'm sure that sounds weird but it makes sense to me.
I really am enjoying this drama a lot. I'm always up for either time travel or world hopping between alternate dimension/worlds/whatever you wanna call it. This one is intense and kind of avalanches throughout the run. It starts out well and just keeps building every episode with more interactions and connections between worlds and characters regarding the murder mystery. You can see how one choice can change lives for either better or worse. And for once I'm watching a show with no real romance subplot and that's fine because that's just not what this show is. Maybe that's why people are sleeping on it. I suppose most (not all) of the time dramas with a romance subplot do well in terms of popularity?
Hype is really a synonym for being popular to me. And obviously things that are popular aren't ALWAYS good and I definitely think something can be enjoyable without being the best. Kind of like how popcorn is tasty but a meal it does not make. Some shows are "underhyped" but are really up my alley and good while maybe not going to get any awards but it's fine because it was still enjoyable. I wasn't looking for a 5 start meal, I just wanted to snack on some popcorn. And others are overhyped and while good, just aren't, to me, as omg-worthy as it is to other people. And that's the way the world is with anything so as long as I give something a go at least I know I tried. More often than not I'm satisfied. I usually go in not knowing too much and if it's better than I thought I'm happy and if it's just okay I went into it expecting that so I'm not disappointed too often...yet, anyway.
I so agree the community aspect is about the best part. I've gotten so friendly with a lot of people in the comment section of IOTNBO lately and I've not had too much interaction with other people on other comment sections.
PS, I would love someone to breakdown the shows some of these gifs are from! I only recognize the TKEM one.
For some reason the nurse being Moon Young's mom does not sit right with me. I hope the writer doesn't leave a…
That's what I keep thinking! The pool of blood that came out of her head was MASSIVE. And she was dumped in the lake?! I mean I'm calling Nurse Park her mom until we're told otherwise but I do hope there's a twist and she's someone else. Like a sister or another psycho.
Random thought but i really wanna see a genuine real confession of our moonmoon couple. Lol not that iconic "i…
Same. I mean we know he does love her in the way he's stayed with her and TOLD her he wasn't going to leave because Moon Young is just Moon Young to him and when he's with her he basically forgets the world and we've made it 14 episodes without a true time skip breakup. I don't think they've ever even really broken up because when he said those mean words to her like a breakup but then he literally goes running to her by the next ep and glomps her in that hug and said thank goodness you're okay. Like boy bye you're straight up in love with her at this point. And for Moon Young, the sheer fact that he DOES stay and he was there for her when she was wrapping head around her mother being his mother's killer and her running in the road barefoot to him because he was there at the castle, she loves him because anyone who loves someone doesn't want the other to be in pain or hurt and the thought of him being hurt by her mother terrified her...enough to where she was running barefoot in the road. So yeah. I really do want to see the true '사랑해' exchanges! (사랑해 = I love you).
What I like about this show is obviously the main trio but so many of the side characters and their stories, the writing with the deep metaphors, the MUSIC, the directing, cinematography...just the whole feel of the show on every level works for me. It really has me thinking all week long until the next episode with the next fairy tale backdrop.
05days 20hours 04mins 25sec- longest wait ever!!!! i really want to know what will happen and how the show will…
We've all gotten to know a lot of new people thanks to this show! I think even when this is over, and we'll never have another show like this probably, we can likely all one day talk on another show page. I comment on other shows here and there but never like what I do here.
He said 'let's talk' and I know he meant talk. And Moon Young said "I'm not running away. So stop following me. I need some time to think on my own. Let's talk later." At least they both mentioned talking but knew they needed time.
Oh my sad sweet baby Moon Young. And Kang Tae immediately calling Sang In to check up on Moon Young as a favor.
Kang Tae trying to get Sang Tae calm by telling him it's a different butterfly. And how he promised he wouldn't run away and he's really trying to overcome it, yay! And he's able to calm him down and leave within minutes. When he freaked out in earlier episodes it was days before he got responsive. Talk about growth!
And the patients wanting to remove that ugly not done by Sang Tae butterfly. So sweet!
Ms. Park on the video feed and Kang Tae putting together all her creepy moments.
Moon Young, what is she looking for? Does she have the brooch? And
The crazy is coming out. "I had such a fun time." ?! Her taunting him on his deathbed is chilling. She let him live to have him die miserably yikes! "They become extremely obedient when you take away what ms them the most happy." And for Moon Young that was Kang Tae. So she killed his mom just because that would make the Moon brothers flee?
Now Moon Young is acting all fine but it's plain as day even to Sang In she's not ok and "I have a bad feeling about this." I love that Kang Tae is COMMUNICATING and they are helping each other. And Sang Tae coming with the allowance. I still love that! But Kang Tae says keep it. And Sang Tae asks did he and Moon Young fight again when Kang Tae tells him to stay at the rooftop apartment for a bit.
ST: Did you guys fight? You...You fought with Moon Young again, didn't you? KT: Yes. I made a mistake. So she's really angry. I need to ask her to forgive me. ST: I...I told you guys not to fight. Did I or did I not tell you that it's better to kiss than to fight? KT: I'll call you after we make up. Let's go. ST: Just...just say you're sorry. Be...be polite. You need to be polite. If you're polite, you won't get scolded as much.
Sang Tae wanting them to make up is so sweet and Kang Tae wants to ask Moon Young for forgiveness. I guess because she realized he knew but didn't tell her. See? Nothing good comes from not sharing information!
The other hospital workers hoping Nurse Park never comes back. So they all secretly don't like her haha.
Why does Dr. Oh think he'll be jobless soon? Because of Nurse Park? I mean it's not his fault she's a psycho killer qu'est-ce que c'est.
SI: I can't believe this. How could there be such an ill-fated relationship? KT: Do you think we are ill-fated? SI: Then what else would you call this? Don't tell me you're going to stay with Moon Young even after you found out what happened. KT: I am. Moon Young is...she's just Moon Young to me. Not Do Hui Jae's daughter. YAAAAAS. Kang Tae being strong and knowing Moon Young is just herself and not her mother and will stay with her even when people say they're ill fated. He made up his mind, y'all.
Sang In telling Kang Tae even after ten years he didn't know much about her. :(
MY: Did my mom...really kill...your mother? The butterfly that tormented your brother all his life and made your life miserable...Was that really my mom? It's not true, right? I'm mistaken, right? That can't be true. Since when did you know? KT: I only recently found out. Moon Young. Listen carefully. You're not like your mom. No matter what happens, I won't leave you. To me, you're just Go Moon Young, the girl I liked ever since I was a boy. MY: Hypocrite. I am so glad he's saying no matter what he won't leave, but I don't know why she wants to call him a hypocrite. He loves you anyway, Moon Young! Why must you make it so painful for yourself!!! Just be happy together instead. Choose happiness!
Omg Jae Su telling Sang Tae that he's certain Kang Tae sent him off so they "could spend time doing intimate and romantic stuff" while he was gone. But Sang Tae noticed Moon Young had a sad expression! So he knew that what Kang Tae said was true! He doesn't know WHY but he learned the face for sad!
Dr. Oh waffling on whether to stay at the hospital or go because of all this is sad. You did your best and she's telling him no you're wrong.
KSD: Adults can't always be right. We make mistakes until the day we die. You can't always save people just because you're a doctor. You're not Jesus Christ. "It's okay to not be okay." It says it right there. The show title!
I love how everyone just follows Moon Young and Kang Tae's relationship drama like their own personal drama. Wanting to deliver the rice balls because they'll skip meals. Sang In getting all teary eyed eating the rice ball and Joo Ri handed him the water and asked to talk! Sang In thinks she's worried about Kang Tae when it's really Moon Young, that's nice! I'm glad she cares now and isn't in the indifferent or hate category. "I can't stop worrying about her." And Sang In blurts out "I really like you." And she didn't exactly reciprocate it but I think she does like him but she's being a friend to Moon Young first. I like that.
KT: I was devastated just like you are now. I kept denying it because I just didn't want to believe it. "Why is it that things like this only happen to me?" I deeply resented it. But none of that matters. When I see you smile at me, I forget everything else. The butterfly and even my mom. I forget everything else except for the two of us. You see, Moon Young, you didn't do anything wrong. That goes for all of us. We did nothing wrong.
Omg them sitting on opposite sides of the door on the floor while he said all those things AND IT WAS SO ROMANTIC. When I see you I forget the world and it's just us?! Omg. Heart fluttering.
Omg that gossip guy is Dr. Oh's son?! No wonder he wasn't fired, he's a parachute! And they're gonna go drink after being a bit estranged? That's nice. And the dad apologizes for putting work before family.
Ughhhh my sweet babies. He's not leaving her and staying there just waiting for her to respond. I love this sad song playing over the moments he remembers.
Sang Tae being annoyed at Jae Su's snoring is so cute and he's worried because Kang Tae hasn't called and he wants them to make up already. Caring! Growing!
I don't even mind the PPL here with the ordering app because it feels like apart from the Subway there really hasn't been much of it aggressive or in your face, to me, in this show. Or if it was I'm just not as observant as I thought?
Aw the patient with the abusive father wanting to treat Kang Tae a meal for helping her. And she seems better.
KT: Go Moon Young. Let me in. Some strange things have happened around your father. That's how I found out about it. The fact that your mother is alive. MY: Park Ok-ran. Is that patient my mom? Is that why you came to me that night? KT: No. It's the head nurse from the hospital. MY: What? KT: Park Haeng Ja. Yesterday, she drew the butterfly on Sang Tae's mural and disappeared. MY: That can't be. That woman is my mom? I know that almost two decades have passed, but evn if she'd had plastic surgery all over her face, I would've recognized her. KT: Both your father and Director Oh have known her for so long but had no idea. MY: No way. The butterfly brooch in the basement is gone too. I'm sure it was there. That means mom was here. She's been watching Dad as well as us, right by our side. She's been watching everything. Leave! Get out of this house immediately. Get out! Now! KT: Go Moon Young. I will never leave you when you're here all alone. I promised I'd protect you. MY: No, you can't protect me. So go protect your brother. Please! Leave! Please! Get out! KT: *pulls her into a tight hug in defiance* MY: Please run...how is this possible...please, I beg you, please. Finally some segue and they've talked but he keeps making it clear he won't leave her even if she tells him to leave!
Aw Sang Tae calling to check on Moon Young.
ST: Is she still really mad at you? You guys haven't made up yet? KT: Moon Young is not feeling well. ST: She's not feeling well? What's wrong with her? Is she feeling sick? When you're in physical pain, you cry. But if your heart is aching, you whimper like a dog when you sleep. Is...is she whimpering like that? KT: Yes. I hear those whimpers. ST: Oh, no. What do we do? She's not been let off the leash? You can...you can just cut it off for her. KT: Sang Tae. ST: Yes? KT: Sang Tae. ST: Hey. Are you...are you crying? KT: No. I'm okay. She'll be fine so don't worry. Boy now we know that you can't be sniffling and say no I'm not crying to your hyung. Sang Tae wants to make porridge for Moon Young because to him she's ill and needs it! Omg how sweet.
Aw Jeong Tae sharing pics of Ah Reum in the US and saying he wants to be discharged soon so he can see her. All the patients really do love Kang Tae. And the other nurse was like yeah even Joo Ri liked him and she about spit takes her coffee. Haha!
KT: Why did you bring Sang Tae? He'll get all worried. JS: I always act like I believe your lies, but not this time. I can't let you get away with this. Jae Su calling him out!
And Sang Tae comes with the porridge for Moon Young with the quail eggs she likes! Why are you apologizing?! Sorry? It's your fault? GIRL NO. At least Sang Tae says "If you want to apologize for something, you have to look at the person and say it. It's rude to just say sorry without even looking at the person." And she asks for forgiveness and he said "I'll forgive you if you eat this." And "my arm is getting tired." Omg seriously Sang Tae feeding her is HUGE. Not just because he's autistic, but for Moon Young, if the Moon brothers can be there for her despite all this then we know they can have a future together. And Sang Tae says "Don't fight with Kang Tae. You two should make up. A kiss is better than a fight. Okay?" Sang Tae: #1 Moon Moon shipper. :)
Kang Tae confirming what Jae Su racked his brain all night for, finally letting him in on things he would always push to the side before.
JS: Kang Tae. KT: Yes? JS: Just accept it. Then you'll feel much more at ease. KT: Accept what? JS: The fact that you're weak. You're not strong at all. You're a total weakling. Both you are that woman, Go Moon Young. It's always those who are weak that act all tough. I can't stand it. Sine you're so weak, you can't just walk away from weak people. You want to lean on them, and vice versa. That's why weaklings are attracted to each other like magnets. So you'd better stick together. You weaklings should join forces and stick together. Then you guys will become invincible. I'm sure you've heard of the saying, "United we stand, divided we are dead meat." President Kim Dae Jung said that. KT: President Rhee Syng Man. Not President Kim Sae Jung. JS: Oh, is that right? I guess I was wrong again. I mean it sounds harsh but his message was stick together. I love that. And the way Kang Tae corrected him AGAIN, haha classic.
Sang Tae so proud he got her to eat five spoons of porridge. And Sang Tae asking Kang Tae did she do something bad? "She kept crying, asking me to forgive her. I said to her that I'd forgive her if she at the porridge and she did. So I forgave her."
ST: So I forgave her. KT: Really? ST: Yes. I gave her my forgiveness. KT: You did? ST: By the way, are you feeling sick too? KT: Sang Tae. Give me a hug. And pat me on the back. ST: Okay. KT: Sang Tae. ST: Yes. KT: I'm scared. ST: What? You're scared? That's because you're the younger one. The little brother. KT: Will you protect us? ST: I'm older than you guys, so I'll protect you both. I'm your guardian. KT: I'm relieved. Thank goodness I have a big brother like you.
Sooooo sweeeet! And then Kang Tae finds the envelope...with a book The Hand, The Monkfish. What's this story about!
"Once upon a time, a beautiful baby girl was born into a wealthy family. She was as beautiful and flawless as magnolias. Her mother loved her so much that she pledged she'd do anything for her baby. She said she would even present to her the sun and the moon. When the baby started eating solid foods, her mother was thrilled. 'My sweet child, I will feed you everything you want to eat. Open your mouth wide. Like this.' When the baby started walking, her mother ran hurriedly to where she was. 'My sweet child. I will carry you. Come on. Hop on my back.' After raising the baby by always providing her with everything she needed, the mother said this. 'My beloved child. I need some rest now. Can you get me some food?' Then the child spoke. 'Mom, I have no hands. I never used them, so they've vanished.' 'Then my sweet child, can you carry me on your back? My legs hurt.' Then the child said this. 'Mom, I have no feet. You always carried me on your back, so I've never even stepped on the ground. But instead, I have a huge mouth.' And she opened her humongous mouth. Then the mother shouted in anger. 'You weren't my perfect baby after all. You're like a useless monkfish. All you can do is eat what I feed you. You can't do anything on your own. You're an utter failure.' Then the mother threw the baby into the faraway sea. Ever since that day, it's been said that fisherman can hear a baby's cry on spooky, windy days out on the sea. 'Mom. Mom. What did I do wrong? Please come and get me. Please come back and get me."
Wow that's a scary one. And she wrote in it "This book was your only failure, but it's my favorite on out of everything you've written. Since you're a writer too, I'm sure you're well aware of this. All failures must be discarded." Yeah because you're a crazy person who deems value on people for not having the unrealistic perception of perfection at all times. The moral of this story to me is you can't control your children and not let them grow up and learn to do things themselves or else they will never even be able to live up to be someone a parent can be proud of. And if you call them a failure when really it was your own failure as a parent then that is all on you. How dare the mother in the story kill her child because of he own inability to let the child learn to be self sufficient.
Who is 'Suicide Bomber' in her contacts? "It's been a while. I know I owe you one. I'd really like to repay you. I'll give you something to write about. It's been too long." She's going to publish her mom's book? Is it to drawn her mom out? Omg Moon Young with dark nails and that extravagant dress. She's going to stand up to her mom. She's done being sad and feeling sorry for herself for something she shouldn't feel sorry for? Good!
OH SHIT CRAZY MOM GOING TO SANG TAE O M G NO.
MY: I know exactly what to do to provoke my mom and have her come to me. SI: Moon Young, please. MY: Kang Tae can't catch the butterfly because he is a coward. I have to do it. SI: Yes, you're right. Do Hui Jae contacted me. She told me to bring the manuscript. MY: To where? SI: I'll meet her alone. You just stay here-- MY: No, she's after me. Where are you meeting her? SI: Moon Young. MY: I asked you where you're meeting her. So they're going somewhere to meet her?!
Omg she has Sang Tae and she's answering the phone.
KT: If you hurt him, I will not forgive you. HJ: Only those who did something wrong seek forgiveness. KT: Where can I meet you? HJ: The cursed castle. What Sang In and Moon Young left the house but now Kang Tae is meeting cocoa puffs there?! When Moon Young thinks she's being the brave one and calling him a coward?
Oooooooooooh Sang In lied!!!!! Because Kang Tae wants Moon Young far away from her mom so HE can face her instead! Omg he's absolutely the brave one, not a coward! And when Moon Young catches the drift she goes berserk wanting him to stop the car. Ugh they are both trying to be the strong one, but remember what Jae Su said? "So you'd better stick together. You weaklings should join forces and stick together. Then you guys will become invincible."
Omg her running barefoot in the road to get to the house!!!!! And the face to face with her crazy laugh ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
O M G THE PROMO. I'm going to delve into my optimistic depths and hope that despite the painful aspects I KNOW we will get some kind of bittersweet ending, if not a happy ending. WE HAVE TO Y'ALL.
I've noticed you write these notes for each episode and now I always look forward to reading them - please continue…
Aw thanks. I wish I could go back and find all of them. I mean, I can but that's a lot of scrolling through 14,500+ comments! I know I've done them for every ep. The first ep or two was pretty short reviews but after that I really started making note of all my favorite scenes and quotes. :)
I know, same! I look forward to the weekend because of this show, for the few hours of joy it gives me. I will be so distraught when it's over. Hopefully happy with the ending but sad that the show isn't on anymore.
Aw Sang Tae telling Jae Su about quitting to be an illustrator but he just burned him
JS: I wanted to be really cool when I let you go.
ST: It's hard for you to be cool. Let's be honest.
JS: Sometimes, it's not too bad to lie.
ST: No, I need to be honest.
JS: You're way too honest.
MY: Why did you hang my photo on your mom's tree?
KT: I thought she might want to see you.
MY: Who did you tell her I was?
KT: That you're Sang Tae's best friend which is something she always longed for. And that you're also the woman I love. I told her the three of us are a family now and that she shouldn't worry.
MY: I feel like she might really hate me.
KT: Let's be honest. You're not exactly likable.
MY: Are you kidding me?
KT: Why do you want to be liked by others? Just be good to me.
MY: I'm sleepy. I'm sleepy. I said I'm sleepy.
Omg her insistance that she is SLEEPY aka let's go to BED. :) Their little hand holding couch cuddle ugh this is so precious.
Sang Tae is going to sleep at the rooftop apartment so he KNOWS what's about to go down. Hehehehe. Smart man. And telling Jae Su to get sinus surgery because he snores. But Jae Su just wants to be a little brother to Sang Tae. C'mon Sang Tae, let him in the family, too!
O M G THE CLOTHES ALL OVER THE FLOOOOOOR. I AM SHRIEKING. NAKED BED TIMES. YEEEEEEEEES. My happy babies. Your happiness allotment in life is here. And she comes up to him and back hugs him while he's chopping.
KT: Careful. I'm holding a knife. I realized that I forgot to tell you something.
MY: What's that?
KT: I'm jobless now.
MY: You quit your job?
KT: Yes.
MY: Why?
KT: I want to try new things.
MY: Don't tell me you're really thinking of going to school.
KT: I'll study for the national college entrance exam--
MY: No. If you must, get your degree online.
KT: I don't need your permission.
MY: Why would you study when you've worked hard all your life? Don't bother. Don't bother doing anything. Just stay right by my side like a parasite.
KT: I told you I'm holding a knife.
MY: I take that back. I didn't meant to say "parasite."
KT: What's your plan? You told me you're not going to write anymore.
MY: There's nothing I want to write about.
KT: Then what about that story where those three people go on a trip in a camping car? I've been looking forward to that.
MY: Do you want to read it?
KT: I want to show it off. You and Sang Tae worked on it. So I want to show it off to people.
MY: Follow me.
Her showing Kang Tae the drawing Sang Tae did of him. :) "You must really like her seeing that you confessed your feelings for her in your dream." And Kang Tae can't even really recognize it because he's just never seen himself happy. Omg he's so happy now. He's smiling as he looks at it. And she's going to publish that book! Yay!
The person I like most is myself. !!!!! Yes. "Darn, that sly fox." That is the best thing. You can love other people but only if you love yourself first. What a great message.
Aw Dr. Oh giving Pil Wong the shoes to walk out of the facility. "It's my last prescription for you as your doctor. Put them on and walk out of here. Don't shut your eyes and pretend like you can't find the exit. Leave with those shoes on, and don't return until you find the door." And they fit perfectly. Then looking at his sleeping son in the break room area haha. But he pulls him out by his ear and the didn't know he was their son? Fire him. I was going to quit anyway! "I thought he'd grow up if I made him work for me, but he's hopeless." Omg savage Daddy Oh. "I'm going to take him with me when I retire. So keep that in mind, and have a good day." Hahaha.
Omggggg Sang Tae saying his phrase and Moon Young said "Don't worry, Sang Tae. We not only kissed, but we also French kissed." And Kang Tae kicks her under the table. Hehehehe. And Sang Tae is like what and she's all "Yes, but that wasn't enough, so we even..." Kang Tae kicking her and she calls him out on it hahahaha. Kang Tae getting the topic back on the book and not between the sheets hehehe. "You did such an excellent job on your homework, so I decided to give you a reward by publishing the book." :) I still want to the camping car, though. For adventures. "You guys really are best friends." :)
And Sang Tae giving her the egg when she was being frustrated with her chopsticks. "Don't be stubborn when things don't work. You need to learn to try other methods." "You need to stop nagging." Heeee and all the while Kang Tae is just smiling.
Sang In saying "My reputation has hit rock bottom. What are you going to do now?" "Pick it back up." She's giving him the manuscript to make up for all the bribery money he had dole out in her stead hahaha. And then he manuscript of her last book but he has to choose! "I'm not going to publish a book that was written by someone who gave you so much pain just so I can make a fortune." Yay! And she asks if he'll regret it but he said he likes her books more! Although leaving the manuscript there with coffee spilled on it...I hope it just gets thrown away!
Hee Sang In wants to stay even though he does have to go back to Seoul. Hint hint, Joo Ri. Omg no Sang In was gonna be "a darn peddler" but Seung Jae missed out on collecting it and I really hope it's in the trash now. Omg she's visiting psycho mommy in prison? And she'll do her spiel about being strong and psycho like her but no. She's relieved she didn't turn into a demon like her mother. "The fact that you don't even know that you're pitiful makes me pity you even more. You only have an appetite. But you know nothing about warmth. You won't ever know. And you're not even interested. That's why we're different. Unlike you, I've learned how warm and nice it feels." And she'll do her best to erase her from her memory. Yes she will, because she is in her happiness allotment in life, ok? No more pain.
MY: You erased the butterfly.
ST: No...No, I didn't erase it. I just...I just painted over it. You can't tell, right? Now I just need to draw a new butterfly.
MY: You're right. If you can't erase it, you just need to cover it with something better.
"Butterfly. You told me that the word "psycho" comes from the word psyche. But to us, it's a symbol of cure. A cure that heals our soul. You should remember that. "
YESSSSSS. CURE!!!! Healing! Something better! And Sang Tae is finally happy and painting a butterfly!
Jae Su offering to go to school with Kang Tae and he's like do you really want to do that.
JS: No, not at all.
KT: Exactly. Don't try to follow what I do. Do what you really want to do, and go where you want to go.
JS: What does that mean? Are you telling me to get lost because you don't need me anymore?Are you saying I'm worthless and nuggety?
KT: It's "nugatory". You just pronounced it like chicken nuggets.
JS: Exactly. I'm so angry and upset at you that I feel like a useless piece of chicken nugget.
KT: Hey, big brother. My big brother, Jae Su.
JS: What's the matter with you?
KT: I'll treat you like an older brother now. You're a year older than me.
JS: I thought you didn't want a big brother. What's with the sudden change?
KT: Now that I think about it it's better to have a lot of big brothers. I was able to hang in there because you were always there by my side. You made me laugh, helped me breathe, and made me feel less lonely. Thank you, Jae Su.
JS: You punk. Then you'd better be good to me, okay?
KT: Okay, I'll be good.
JS: Call me "big brother."
KT: My big brother.
JS: One more time.
KT: My big brother, Jae Su.
JS: One more time.
KT: That's enough.
Heee the slip ups. Kang Tae is so smart for having not going to school. And he's saying Jae Su is his hyung. Aw.
Hahaha Moon Young and Sang Tae going over illustrations. And she wants the eyes half the size of the face. And Kang Tae bringing fruit but Moon Young pushes him I'm "I'm not an outsider." "Yes, you're an outsider. That's why you should stay outside." Omg he was trying to get all flirty but she touches his cheek then turns and slams the door in his face heeeeee.
Omg Sang In and Seung Jae actually going to trash for the manuscript. I mean I don't want them to find it, it is important for trust and well being to have it stay in the trash! And she quit in front of his face. Joo Ri meeting with Sang In telling her to be nice to Seung Jae, the poor kid. And he's like she's at least six years older than you. Ha! Ah, so she did get it. I don't know how I feel about that, though. I don't want Moon Young to be hurt but she made a vow to paint over the bad with good. So let Sang In and Seung Jae make money off it, Moon Young will be happy with her books and her new life with Kang Tae and Sang Tae.
Awww Kang Tae sneaking into the work room. Finding the Real Face. That's totally inspired by Kang Tae finding his real face, his real happiness. And for Sang Tae and Moon Young, too.
Aw we finally have a small time skip in the sense it takes a small amount of time for books to get published. Maybe less than a year with children's books with mostly illustrations. Sang Tae so happy for his works to be published! Sang In thinks it won't do well because the book is so different from her others but it's good to grow and change, Sang In!
They went to the mom tree to show her the book. Omg I WANNA READ THE BOOOOOOOOK.
"Once upon a time in a castle in the deep forest, there lived three people who had their real faces stolen by the Shadow Witch. The boy wore a mask with an awkward smile. Then there was the princess who was loud but all empty inside, and there was also a man who was trapped inside a box. They couldn't make any facial expressions because their faces were stolen from them. They had no way of understanding each other's feelings, so they always misunderstood one another and fought."
Omg everyone's crying happy tears and it is so beautiful omg. I'm crying, too.
Omg no one's coming because they're branded as liars. But Seung Jae is like I'm the one reporter who will report it, it'll be fine! Bwahahaha.
Omg the finished mural!
"I thought you were a total quack, but you are a competent doctor after all. You helped Sang Tae spread his wings and fly like those butterflies." "Gosh, I didn't do anything. He did it all on his own."
Aw the patient that lost her daughter came back! And she's going well, that's good. And Jeong Tae is looking for A Reum, too. AHHHH They get their happy ending, too. And Jae Jae moment! Ki Do is doing better, too! And he said "But where's my handsome Kang Tae and that fiery writer?" Heee.
Omg Moon Young and Sang Tae bickering over who will narrate the book. "Are you an attention seeker?" "What? What's that? A seeker? Do they look for things? What is that? " Kang Tae is like forget it I'll narrate it! That's be nice, though. his voice is good. Or they all can narrate it.
"The Box Man spoke 'If we want to stop fighting and find happiness, we must retrieve our stolen faces.'"
"So they hopped in their camping car and began their journey to find their faces. Then one day, they ran into a mother fox who was bawling, curled up on the snow."
"The Masked Boy asked the mother fox, 'Ma'am, why do you keep crying?'"
"'Oh, I came out here to find some food but dropped my baby whom I was carrying on my back somewhere in the snow.'"
"The mother fox's tears had run dry. She wailed while beating her chest. When the Masked Boy saw that, warm tears started gushing from his eyes."
"Then the snow began to melt quickly, and the baby fox, who was frozen under the snow, soon appeared."
"The three of them resumed their journey. Soon, they ran into a clown who was dancing naked in a field of thorny flowers. The Emotionless Princess asked, 'Why are you dancing with all your might, knowing you'll be pricked by thorns?' 'I feel that this is the only way to make people look at me. But it hurts and no one's looking at me.' He answered. Then the Emotionless Princess walked into the field of thorny flowers and started dancing with the clown. 'I'm an empty can, so I won't be hurt even if I get pricked by the thorns.' When she began hopping and dancing, loud clanking noises echoed from her empty torso. And upon hearing those sounds, people began to flock to where they were. The crowd watched their dance and applauded them.
Omg they start bickering in the middle of the narration. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ And it's all a big kerfuffle. I WANNA HEAR THE WHOLE STORY!!!!
"Don't be too harsh on them. They argue like that because they still have a lot of growing up to do." Joo Ri's mom is right, even though Kang Tae still needs to grow up some more, too. he's still level headed in that regard more so than Moon Young and Sang Tae.
'Dear my fake, real mom. Thank you for all the delicious meals. I want to eat the food that you make every day. I really like you, Ms. Kang. Here's a heart for you. Six hearts." Aw. :) And Kang Tae hugs Ms. Kang. So sweet.
Omg they blew up online because Seung Jae posted it and Sang In is just like sigh. Hahahaha. Ohhhh dang Sang In said he's starting fresh but not in Seoul! He's going to stay in Seongjin City for Joo Ri? Rent is expensive in Seoul, plus you're here. Finally he says something smooth. Aw the little pinky touch.
Ahhhhh Dr Oh called them the troublemaker trio. Omg I love them all so much.
KT: Sir, I know you got this in return for the mural, but it's too much. Just the gesture is enough.
Doc: But I want to give you this. All three of you went through a lot because of what happened. I hired someone I should've never hired. I owe you an apology for that as well, so just accept it and let's call it even. That will make me feel better.
KT: But accepting this doesn't feel right.
Doc: Then just keep your word and hang out with me when you have some free time.
KT: Will do.
Doc: You should go on a long trip in that camping car. There are many things you can learn on the road. But I must say, it'll be exhausting to look after those two.
KT: Right, but I think it'll be fun.
YESSSSSSS THE CAMPING CAR WHICH I SAW IN THE WRAP UP PICTURE!!!!
Now Kang Tae has to convince Sang Tae that the camping car is for going on a trip not running away.
ST: What's the difference? I don't want to go.
KT: Well, when you run away, you go to a faraway place to never return. But a trip is going somewhere far with the intention of returning eventually.
ST: Why leave if you're going to return eventually? I don't want to go.
KT: Then why eat if you're going to poop it all out anyway?
Heeeee. And him going to watch her get ready in front of the mirror with his head on his crossed forearms, so cute.
KT: You said you've run out of stories that you want to write about. We should go on a trip so that you can find some inspiration. I heard writers often get ideas for their next books while traveling.
MY: We'll eat, sleep, and drive. On repeat. Do you really think doing that over and over in that small camping car will help me find inspiration out of thin air?
KT: You don't know that until we actually begin our trip. You can try to find some inspiration while I nurture my mind and study. And Sang Tae will work on his drawings. Great plan, right?
MY: I'm not sure.
KT: Hey. You said you wanted to go on a long trip with me.
MY: Maybe not a long trip. If you really want to go, let's do a day trip.
KT: "A day trip?" Are you kidding me? I just want to hit the road with no destination in mind and keep on driving freely without worrying about the future. Whether it takes a month or half a year, we'll keep on driving until we want to stop--
MY: Calm down. Don't get so worked up. Try counting to three when you can't control yourself. It'll help you calm down.
HAAAAAA. No but really.
And in the next scene Kang Tae all drunk complaining to Jae Su and Sang In. "How could they do this to me? I've been suppressing myself all these years and just enduring it all. They obviously know that, so how could they do this to me?" Aw poor boo feels ostracized during the publication process and now he's just venting after never being able to. So cute. It's not like he wants to go to Serengeti, he doesn't have a passport. Or outer space. WINK. "I just wanted the three of us to go on a trip in that camping car. Just driving through the mountains and fields, you know? I said, 'Let's just go with the flow and see where it takes us.' And they can't even do that for me?" Awwwww he's dead-drunk.
He come home and they're there waiting for him on the stairs with suitcases!!!! They're gonna go on a long trip! They were surprising him! A FAMILY T SHIRT OMG. Overwhelmed, happy, drunk Kang Tae glomping hugging Moon Young and Sang Tae. OMG GUYS I AM SO HAPPY. Mang Tae on the rear view mirror!!!!! KANG TAE SO HUNGOVER HAHAHAHAHA. "Whatever. You always say that you're okay. You're obviously not okay now." Omg the little bickering and she said bullshit and he's never heard that word before? "Did you swear at me just now?" Hahahaha. Omfg Kang Tae vomiting in the field while they eat. Hehehe. "Are you getting a reality check?" And Moon Young saying Sang Tae needs to learn slang but he says Moon Young needs to learn more manners. ㅎㅎㅎ
Omg the camping car montage with the song. Omg this is the best. THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!! So much good footage for videos and arts!!! (My mind goes there a lot, I used to toodle in graphic design for shows for fun but it's been so long.)
MY: You're not going to bed?
KT: I can't fall asleep.
MY: I'm sorry.
KT: For what?
MY: For hurting you twice physically. I really hope you'll never be hurt again. And...thanks. For bringing me on this trip.
KT: What's gotten into you? This is so unlike you.
MY: I love you, Moon Kang Tae. I'm not pretending. I love you for real. I really mean it.
Sweet babies in love. :)
Omg Sang Tae wants to work and draw instead of having more fun in the camping car. BUT THAT MEANS MOON YOUNG AND KANG TAE CAN KEEP PLAYING. P L A Y I N G. Yes.
KT: Will you be okay without me? Won't you need me?
ST; Moon Kang Tae belongs to Moon Kang Tae. You belong to yourself, and I belong to myself.
Omg how beautiful. Yes. I'm so happy. This is one of the best freaking happy endings ever omg. And the hugging and the thanking each other. I am an emotional wreck. AND THE SHOT OF BABY SANG TAE DURING THE HUG!!!! And he still says 'A kiss is better than a fight, okay?' Ahem. Now that you're out of that camping car there will be lots of kissing, and French kissing and even MORE!
"They began a new journey to find their stolen faces, and the evil Shadow Witch appeared in front of them once again. She kidnapped the Masked Boy, who shed tears on behalf of the mother fox, as well as the Emotionless Princess who danced with the clown." "'The two of you will never be able to find your happy faces.' After putting such a curse on them, she locked them in a deep, dark mole tunnel. The Box Man found the mole tunnel a few days later, but the entrance was so narrow that he couldn't go in." "'What do I do? I need to take this box off my head in order to go into the tunnel.'" "That moment, the Masked Boy's voice reached him from inside the tunnel." "'Mister, don't worry about us. Just run far away. The Shadow Witch will return soon.'" "However, the Box Man mustered up the courage to take the box off his head. Then he went inside the tunnel and saved the Masked Boy and the Emotionless Princess. Upon getting out of the dark tunnel, the two of them saw the man's face covered with dirt and grime instead of the box and burst out laughing. They laughed and giggled. While laughing uncontrollably, the Masked Boy's mask suddenly fell off." "The can surrounding the Emotionless Princess' torso also fell off and made a clanking noise. The Box Man, now out of his box, said this when he saw the two of them finding their true faces while laughing." "Happy. He's happy. I'm happy." "What the Shadow Witch had stolen from them was not their true faces but their courage to find happiness."
Omg some bloopers! Yes! I want them all! So fun!
O H M Y GOD I AM SO HAPPY. THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD ENDING. I A M SO H A P P Y!!!!!!!! Y'ALL!!! I AM GOING TO MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!!!
Currently airing? Into the Ring has been a delight and I want to say Flower of Evil but it's 4 episodes in don't want to say it won't screw the pooch just yet but it's really good so far. Also Train has been very underrated!
She wanted to see which one he's choose. Omg the one thing that drives me nuts about this show is about "choosing" people. She says he "ruined" Moon Young omg are you kidding me. And he's like "is your daughter artwork to you?" And yeah she goes on and on about how she created her and "she's my work of art". But Kang Tae said THE phrase. "Moon Young doesn't belong to you. She's a person, not a piece of art. She's a human being!" She wants him to go and run away he straight up talks informally to her during all this 아니. "No. I'll never do that." And her other option is kill me and get your revenge? Ok preach it Kang Tae "Give it up. That messed up ending you're dreaming of will never come. Because I will never give up on Moon Young."
Little Moon Young "A bird with a broken wing can't fly anyway. I should kill it, right?" :( Poor broken baby bird herself, Moon Young. All Ms. Moon did was try to help Moon Young and because she went to Moon Young's mom who liked her broken little bird SHE broke she decides to kill Ms. Moon this is just too much...I mean MY GOD. Omg the shot of little baby Sang Tae and Kang Tae facing her ughhh I love those shots of seeing them with their child selves. Because that's what he feels like in that moment. I know he's not going to keep choking her because Moon Young's voice in his head said "She's still my mom."
Ahhhh she stuck him with something aksjdhlakj he's not a coward, he's just not insane like you! He was strong for letting go! MOON YOUNG SHOWS UP YAYYYYY!!!! Tell her Moon Young! "No. I'm not a monster like you!" And she goes to stab her and we get Kang Tae stopping her omg parallels to the first time this happened! "You promised me that you wouldn't do this." And she's going on about her hair ugh please psycho mommy. SANG TAE WAKING UP FOR THE WIN!!!!! "Don't hurt my brother and sister." Yesssss. THE SHOT OF ALL OF THEM IN THEIR KID SELVES UGHHHHHH SO GOOOOOOOD. And the book he did it with was a fairy tale book.
Omg is it this easy? She's arrested and omg Dr. Oh dabbing her blood lip "It looks like someone smacked you hard on the head." ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Lady I don't know what you're smoking but your plan didn't work? They WILL be together because like he says "People stick together because they're weak. We lean on each other like this. That's what makes us human." And also a triangle is a very strong shape! Well I hope she truly exited stage left and STAYS LEFT.
Awww so sweet sitting there by his bed waiting for him to wake up. And Dr. Oh telling Sang Tae he was so proud of him for taking care of Moon Young and Kang Tae and taught her a lesson. It was so good that Sang Tae took her down, for his own healing, too. I love it. Ugh Moon Young apologizing to Kang Tae because he always gets hurt because of her "every single time" That's part of love, though! No if you stay with her life will not be miserable, Moon Young! Stop thinking that! She still thinks she doesn't deserve it but I hope Kang Tae talks some sense into her.
Awww Sang In got caught speeding and when Seung Jae and Joo Ri walked in he just calls Joo Ri's name. Cute. And him thinking of Moon Young and Kang Tae.
SI: I think for some people, it's just really heard to live a normal life. It feels like some mean gods sent all kinds of misfortune their way. I feel so bad for them, and it makes me upset and furious."
JR: The law of the total number of misfortunes. I heard we all have a set amount of happiness and misfortune assigned to us. If their lives have been filled with misfortune up till now, it means only happiness awaits them.
SI: I really hope that's the case.
ME, TOO. What a good exchange!
Teehee Sang Tae recounting the story so many times to Jae Su that "he has it memorized". But this is something so good for Sang Tae. He's got pride in himself! And then he says "Is he Sleeping Beauty or what? When the heck will he wake up?" Haha. And Sang Tae says "Only a kiss can wake Sleeping Beauty." Omg yes, if only.
Aw Kang Tae falling out of the bed upon awakening. And finding Moon Young and she is saying we need to talk. If only the talking was Kang Tae's talking with the lips and tongue. Girl you are not saying
MY: Please leave. Leave this place. Like you said, I'm not an empty can. I have feelings too, so I will never forget the terrible things you and Sang Tae had to experience here because of me. They'll stay with me forever. And you'll probably suffer emotionally every time you see me.
KT: We won't forget any of it. We'll overcome it. You said that's the only way we can become real adults whose souls can grow. We should just...Let's just think of it as a nightmare. I can do it.
MY: Stop pretending. Stop pretending like it doesn't hurt. Stop pretending like you're okay. Pretending to be okay...You're going to do it in front of me. Not just Sang Tae. And seeing that masked face will make me walk on eggshells around you. It'll suffocate me. I'll be tormented. I don't want to live like that. That's why I'm asking you to leave. Move out tomorrow with Sang Tae.
KT: Moon Young. Do you really mean it?
MY: Yes. I just want to live alone. Like I used to.
Don't believe her lies! She shouldn't be staying in that house alone, either! Don't give up on her, Kang Tae!!!!
I love how their breakfast conversation is over Moon Young and Kang Tae. And Jae Su countering Sang In's response about Moon Young being fussy but that Kang Tae wins someone over like a nine-tailed fox. And then Joo Ri's mom says "It sounds like the two of them are meant to be." :) Please be happy.
Kang Tae going to wake up Sang Tae and he immediately asks Kang Tae if he's okay and did he sleep well. And about it hand. And he just thanks him and hugs him. :) And Kang Tae has to explain that she was a terrible person pretending to be nice who hated seeing other people happy. And he talks about reading the book. Only up to page 63 because it was boring, ha! And the metaphor of not throwing away something just because someone bad gave it to you. Moon Young's mom gave the world Moon Young. But just because Moon Young's mom is bad doesn't mean we need to throw away Moon Young. Please! Have him just not leave and be like you're not getting rid of me that easy!
KT: If Moon Young wants us to move out, what will you do?
ST: We're a family, so we should live together.
KT: But what if she tells us to move out?
ST: We can move out. We should take Moon Young with us though.
KT: Why?
ST: Because she'll be left alone if the two of us move out. If she's left all alone, she'll be bored. She always says that she's bored and asks me to play with her.
KT: But what if she says that only the two of us should move out?
ST: Over my dead body. We'll just say, "Over my dead body." That will make us the winner. Over my dead body! We're going to win.
KT: *starts laughing*
ST: Over my dead body. We're not moving out. Over my dead body. We're not going anywhere.
YESSSSSSSS. OVER MY DEAD BODY ARE WE LEAVING SO STICK TO HER LIKE A STICKER PUT ON THE GLASS OF A PICTURE FRAME AT THE STORE THAT WILL NEVER COME OFF.
Doc: Why? Are you running away again to a different hospital?
KT: No. I want to take it easy now.
Doc: I guess we were thinking the same thing. I'm going to quit so I can spend my time doing what I want. Shall we hang out together?
KT: I already have someone to hang out with.
Doc: Can you at least act like you're torn?
And him asking for a session, I think he's really going to delve deep and become resolute in staying with Moon Young and how it will be best for them to heal together because leaving just leaves people lonely and this show is all about togetherness and the power of family.
Sang Tae asking Moon Young if she's ok and saying look here's all the food Kang Tae made for us. Moon Young saying they won't do the book? No! Y'all need to work together and be a family, both! And she said move out by the end of the say and OVER MY DEAD BODY. I DON'T CARE. Haha TELL her Sang Tae. The Moon brothers are not going to give up on you that easily!
KT: To be honest, I'm not sure if I can't handle it. Do Hui Jae. The things that woman said to me, her face, and the things that she did...Whenever I think about those things, my mom, who was killed unjustly, and my brother, who saw that while hiding...I just can't get any of it out of my head, and I can't breathe. Despite that, I lied to Moon Young. I said that I could overcome all of it. But...Moon Young won't buy it.
Doc: Being together torments you. But if you break up, it'll be equally painful. If both options feel like death, wouldn't it be better to suffer together? Be honest with me. I bet you wanted to kill Do Hui Jae when you were alone with her.
KT: Yes.
Doc: Then why didn't you kill her?
KT: Because I thought of Moon Young.
Doc: Right, exactly. The one that torments you can also be the one to save you. You were about to explode, but she prevented you from blowing up.
LIKE A SAFETY PIN IN A BOMB!!!! THEY ARE EACH OTHER'S SAFETY PIN.
Aw Moon Young wanting to retire. Noooo. You have to write and you have to make one with a happy ending! I like that you're selling the house, though, Moon Young. But Sang In denying it, he can't imagine wok without Moon Young! "Hey, do you think I'm being like this to sell books and make money? Writing fairy tales is the only way Moon Young can communicate with the world. It's the only way she can talk and breathe. If she doesn't want to do that anymore, it means she's just going to die!" See??? It's her outlet and she NEEDS it!
Aw Kang Tae saying he'll visit and come to plant a tree, but not a gingko one, those stink. Haha!
KT: You seemed to be having a nightmare.
MY: Pack up and leave. I want you to leave today. I just need Mang Tae. I don't need Kang Tae anymore. Oh, right. You already told me you don't want anyone to rely on you. So that's good. Now, hurry up and leave.
KT: Are you really going to live alone?
MY: I've been living alone all my life. People like me aren't able to live among others. It's better to be secluded.
KT: Why?
MY: Because that's how I was born.
KT: Moon Young. You can't live by yourself anymore.
MY: Why not?
KT: Because now, you know how it feels to feel warm at heart and to have a full stomach. So just admit it.
MY: Admit what?
KT: That you're just a little kid who wants to be loved.
MY: Cut the nonsense and just move out.
KT: Do you want me to tell you a story?
MY: No.
KT: A long time ago...
MY: Shut up.
KT: There lived two poor brothers who cared for each other very much. One day, it was the harvest season, so they both harvested rice. The older brother was worried his little brother might run out of rice, so he secretly carried a sack of rice at night and left it in front of his little brother's house. The same day, the little brother also carried a sack of rice and put it in front of his older brother's house thinking that his older brother might need more due to his big family. When they woke up the next day, they both noticed that they still had the same amount of rice as before. The two brothers thought it was strange. So they did the same thing that night and left a sack of rice in front of each other's house. And that continued for days. Do you know what the moral of this story is? "Siblings who care a lot about each other should live together so they won't end up doing pointless work." It's funny, isn't it?
MY: What a joke. What kind of moral is that?
KT: My brother came up with it. Do you not like me and my brother? I know you do. Right? Let's not do anything that will waste our time. I don't care where we live. I just want us to live together. Okay? Moon Young. Answer me. Can we talk? Will you stop being so stubborn?
MY :Did you just yell at me?
KT: No. I think my voice tends to sound louder in this room. I'll leave you to get some rest if you're tired.
Awwwwwww. He is saying I'm not giving up on you! Ahaha him recounting to Sang Tae and him being like I mean some people make stories sounds boring that's what you did. "Let's be honest. BLACKPINK is the most popular." ㅎㅎㅎ
Kang Tae made dinner and all Moon Young keeps telling him to leave and he uses that same lie he used earlier about the water pipe being broken........it'll take days to fix. Hahahaha. He's gonna barnacle is way back in. But wait Joo Ri is calling Moon Young about her mom being sick? And if Moon Young goes there and sees that the water is working...ohoho I can't wait for the next scene.
Omg her mom is just sitting there eating popcorn hahahahahaha. "Are you really sick? You seem to have more energy than I do." Awww they're all caring for her and they just want her to eat! See, Moon Young, you have a whole network of people helping you. Kang Tae got Sang In, Joo Ri, and Joo Ri's mom all in on helping her! Just to eat a meal! Omg and we have Seung Jae being aeygo with Jae Su over the phone? What part of the plan is that? Just that he likes her? YES. JAE JAE!
Aw her saying shit it's so hot. Classic Moon Young but her asking "Why is everyone so nice to me? I'm not your family." And Joo Ri's mom just says you're pretty and eat well and "it's nice how you like Kang Tae for who he is even though he has nothing to offer."
Well he does. He offers to love her! That's pretty big.
Awwww Kang Tae planting to tree to honor his mom and putting the portrait with him, Moon Young and Sang Tae on it. :) "Whenever we miss her, we just need to come here." And Sang Tae STILL going on about Moon Young being prettier with the longer hair hehehe. And them growing up well and now the tree needs to grow big, too. And he says he'll take care of Sang Tae and Sang Tae says she didn't have you to take care of me. "Older brothers are supposed to take care of younger brothers." And he did! "Yes, but you're all grown up now, so it's time you take care of yourself. I'm busy now. " Hahahaha how precious!
JS: I sometimes think he might be a psychopath. He's way too cold-hearted and indifferent.
MY: I agree. I really hate it how he sometimes puts on a fake expression.
JS: I know, right? My gosh. On top of that, he's also out of his mind. Do you know what he said to me last time at my restaurant? Serengeti. Do you even know where that is? At first, I thought he was talking about spaghetti. Serengeti is a place in Africa. It's all the way in Africa. he wanted to go there when he doesn't even have a passport. He's crazy.
MY: Why is that crazy?
JS: What?
MY: Why is it crazy that he wants to go to Serengeti? Why?
Seeeee Moon Young, he is constantly thinking about you. Also Jae Su's constant word slip-ups I need a whole gifset or something of them, someone!
Awwwwww Sang Tae waiting on the stairs for Moon Young! And her saying to him what will Kang Tae use as his next excuse to stay. And he just says 'over my dead body' again. And he still did his homework even though she had said forget it. But Sang Tae wants to be an illustrator! So check his work, Moon Young! "If you don't write, I'll publish a book with someone else." And he drew a happy Kang Tae in his sleep and she's seeing it. :) "It's not fake. He's really happy. I drew him because I saw it for the first time." Her tears!!!! "It's a happy expression. Why are you crying?" "Because it's beautiful." And she wants it and Sang Tae lets her have it but he really wants to publish a fairy tale book!
Moon Young going to the tree and saying I'm sorry and Kang Tae coming up in a suit. :)
KT: I followed you. Your hobby is to kidnap people. My hobby is to tail people.
MY: Do you think that's funny?
KT: I might not be funny. But I do want to impress you. I'll keep trying. I'll do everything I can to overcome what happened and cope with it. So please stop pushing me away. Let me stay by your side. Please?
MY: *starts to walk away but he blocks her and holds out his hand*
KT: Then what about this? How will you compensate for this?
MY: I'm sorry I made you get hurt. *walks away again but he runs after her again*
KT: I love you! I love you, Moon Young.
MY *keeps walking away *
KT: I love you! I said, I love you! I love you so much! I said I love you! Why are you leaving? Hey! I love you. Moon Young. *takes off jacket* Moon Young, I love you. I love you. Will you please stop?
OMG THE PARALLELS HE SAID WHAT SHE SAID IN THE BEGINNING EXCEPT HE MEANS IT HERE AND OMGGGGG the patients standing there "shouldn't he get admitted?" And Jeong Tae saying "love changes people." :)
KT: I love you. Is that not it? Is it something else? Will you please say something?
MY: If you tell me you love me one more time, I might just...
KT: You might just what? * kisses her* Do this? *lifts her up and sets her down and goes in for a smoooooth kiss* Omggggggggggg the fire pouring and dripping out of the screen in this moment omggggggg. Why did it have to stop there!!!!!!!
Omg the preview!!!!! It looks like we're going to get either a bittersweet or full on happy ending. I MIGHT DIE IF WE DO NOT OKAY Y'ALL?!
I think he's been through a lot in his life from outside trauma forced on him what with his father being a murderer and the "exorcisms?!" and he thinks he's more messed up than he is. Like he almost wanted to stop genuinely feeling any and all emotions so he suppresses them when in reality he does feel them but what he presents and what he really feels he felt weren't aligned, maybe because he felt he didn't deserve the love he'd gotten from Ji Won? Especially with the weight of his past being on him and all the mess with the fake parents. Still need more info on that and why he's their son on paper but what exactly happened to the real Hee Sung that he's in a vegetative state?
But in episode 4 he saved Ji Won from being crushed by all those tools and got hurt himself so that shows he cares about her! And when he talked to Eun Ha on the phone in the facetime call I think he was keeping himself more calm because he's about to meet that actual confirmed murderer taxi driver guy but he was trying to say don't cry I'll be there soon to her. I don't know, we'll see. I'm excited for next week's episodes!
I so agree the community aspect is about the best part. I've gotten so friendly with a lot of people in the comment section of IOTNBO lately and I've not had too much interaction with other people on other comment sections.
PS, I would love someone to breakdown the shows some of these gifs are from! I only recognize the TKEM one.
And for Moon Young, the sheer fact that he DOES stay and he was there for her when she was wrapping head around her mother being his mother's killer and her running in the road barefoot to him because he was there at the castle, she loves him because anyone who loves someone doesn't want the other to be in pain or hurt and the thought of him being hurt by her mother terrified her...enough to where she was running barefoot in the road. So yeah. I really do want to see the true '사랑해' exchanges! (사랑해 = I love you).
Oh my sad sweet baby Moon Young. And Kang Tae immediately calling Sang In to check up on Moon Young as a favor.
Kang Tae trying to get Sang Tae calm by telling him it's a different butterfly. And how he promised he wouldn't run away and he's really trying to overcome it, yay! And he's able to calm him down and leave within minutes. When he freaked out in earlier episodes it was days before he got responsive. Talk about growth!
And the patients wanting to remove that ugly not done by Sang Tae butterfly. So sweet!
Ms. Park on the video feed and Kang Tae putting together all her creepy moments.
Moon Young, what is she looking for? Does she have the brooch? And
The crazy is coming out. "I had such a fun time." ?! Her taunting him on his deathbed is chilling. She let him live to have him die miserably yikes! "They become extremely obedient when you take away what ms them the most happy." And for Moon Young that was Kang Tae. So she killed his mom just because that would make the Moon brothers flee?
Now Moon Young is acting all fine but it's plain as day even to Sang In she's not ok and "I have a bad feeling about this." I love that Kang Tae is COMMUNICATING and they are helping each other. And Sang Tae coming with the allowance. I still love that! But Kang Tae says keep it. And Sang Tae asks did he and Moon Young fight again when Kang Tae tells him to stay at the rooftop apartment for a bit.
ST: Did you guys fight? You...You fought with Moon Young again, didn't you?
KT: Yes. I made a mistake. So she's really angry. I need to ask her to forgive me.
ST: I...I told you guys not to fight. Did I or did I not tell you that it's better to kiss than to fight?
KT: I'll call you after we make up. Let's go.
ST: Just...just say you're sorry. Be...be polite. You need to be polite. If you're polite, you won't get scolded as much.
Sang Tae wanting them to make up is so sweet and Kang Tae wants to ask Moon Young for forgiveness. I guess because she realized he knew but didn't tell her. See? Nothing good comes from not sharing information!
The other hospital workers hoping Nurse Park never comes back. So they all secretly don't like her haha.
Why does Dr. Oh think he'll be jobless soon? Because of Nurse Park? I mean it's not his fault she's a psycho killer qu'est-ce que c'est.
SI: I can't believe this. How could there be such an ill-fated relationship?
KT: Do you think we are ill-fated?
SI: Then what else would you call this? Don't tell me you're going to stay with Moon Young even after you found out what happened.
KT: I am. Moon Young is...she's just Moon Young to me. Not Do Hui Jae's daughter.
YAAAAAS. Kang Tae being strong and knowing Moon Young is just herself and not her mother and will stay with her even when people say they're ill fated. He made up his mind, y'all.
Sang In telling Kang Tae even after ten years he didn't know much about her. :(
MY: Did my mom...really kill...your mother? The butterfly that tormented your brother all his life and made your life miserable...Was that really my mom? It's not true, right? I'm mistaken, right? That can't be true. Since when did you know?
KT: I only recently found out. Moon Young. Listen carefully. You're not like your mom. No matter what happens, I won't leave you. To me, you're just Go Moon Young, the girl I liked ever since I was a boy.
MY: Hypocrite.
I am so glad he's saying no matter what he won't leave, but I don't know why she wants to call him a hypocrite. He loves you anyway, Moon Young! Why must you make it so painful for yourself!!! Just be happy together instead. Choose happiness!
Omg Jae Su telling Sang Tae that he's certain Kang Tae sent him off so they "could spend time doing intimate and romantic stuff" while he was gone. But Sang Tae noticed Moon Young had a sad expression! So he knew that what Kang Tae said was true! He doesn't know WHY but he learned the face for sad!
Dr. Oh waffling on whether to stay at the hospital or go because of all this is sad. You did your best and she's telling him no you're wrong.
KSD: Adults can't always be right. We make mistakes until the day we die. You can't always save people just because you're a doctor. You're not Jesus Christ. "It's okay to not be okay." It says it right there.
The show title!
I love how everyone just follows Moon Young and Kang Tae's relationship drama like their own personal drama. Wanting to deliver the rice balls because they'll skip meals. Sang In getting all teary eyed eating the rice ball and Joo Ri handed him the water and asked to talk! Sang In thinks she's worried about Kang Tae when it's really Moon Young, that's nice! I'm glad she cares now and isn't in the indifferent or hate category. "I can't stop worrying about her." And Sang In blurts out "I really like you." And she didn't exactly reciprocate it but I think she does like him but she's being a friend to Moon Young first. I like that.
KT: I was devastated just like you are now. I kept denying it because I just didn't want to believe it. "Why is it that things like this only happen to me?" I deeply resented it. But none of that matters. When I see you smile at me, I forget everything else. The butterfly and even my mom. I forget everything else except for the two of us. You see, Moon Young, you didn't do anything wrong. That goes for all of us. We did nothing wrong.
Omg them sitting on opposite sides of the door on the floor while he said all those things AND IT WAS SO ROMANTIC. When I see you I forget the world and it's just us?! Omg. Heart fluttering.
Omg that gossip guy is Dr. Oh's son?! No wonder he wasn't fired, he's a parachute! And they're gonna go drink after being a bit estranged? That's nice. And the dad apologizes for putting work before family.
Ughhhh my sweet babies. He's not leaving her and staying there just waiting for her to respond. I love this sad song playing over the moments he remembers.
Sang Tae being annoyed at Jae Su's snoring is so cute and he's worried because Kang Tae hasn't called and he wants them to make up already. Caring! Growing!
I don't even mind the PPL here with the ordering app because it feels like apart from the Subway there really hasn't been much of it aggressive or in your face, to me, in this show. Or if it was I'm just not as observant as I thought?
Aw the patient with the abusive father wanting to treat Kang Tae a meal for helping her. And she seems better.
KT: Go Moon Young. Let me in. Some strange things have happened around your father. That's how I found out about it. The fact that your mother is alive.
MY: Park Ok-ran. Is that patient my mom? Is that why you came to me that night?
KT: No. It's the head nurse from the hospital.
MY: What?
KT: Park Haeng Ja. Yesterday, she drew the butterfly on Sang Tae's mural and disappeared.
MY: That can't be. That woman is my mom? I know that almost two decades have passed, but evn if she'd had plastic surgery all over her face, I would've recognized her.
KT: Both your father and Director Oh have known her for so long but had no idea.
MY: No way. The butterfly brooch in the basement is gone too. I'm sure it was there. That means mom was here. She's been watching Dad as well as us, right by our side. She's been watching everything. Leave! Get out of this house immediately. Get out! Now!
KT: Go Moon Young. I will never leave you when you're here all alone. I promised I'd protect you.
MY: No, you can't protect me. So go protect your brother. Please! Leave! Please! Get out!
KT: *pulls her into a tight hug in defiance*
MY: Please run...how is this possible...please, I beg you, please.
Finally some segue and they've talked but he keeps making it clear he won't leave her even if she tells him to leave!
Aw Sang Tae calling to check on Moon Young.
ST: Is she still really mad at you? You guys haven't made up yet?
KT: Moon Young is not feeling well.
ST: She's not feeling well? What's wrong with her? Is she feeling sick? When you're in physical pain, you cry. But if your heart is aching, you whimper like a dog when you sleep. Is...is she whimpering like that?
KT: Yes. I hear those whimpers.
ST: Oh, no. What do we do? She's not been let off the leash? You can...you can just cut it off for her.
KT: Sang Tae.
ST: Yes?
KT: Sang Tae.
ST: Hey. Are you...are you crying?
KT: No. I'm okay. She'll be fine so don't worry.
Boy now we know that you can't be sniffling and say no I'm not crying to your hyung. Sang Tae wants to make porridge for Moon Young because to him she's ill and needs it! Omg how sweet.
Aw Jeong Tae sharing pics of Ah Reum in the US and saying he wants to be discharged soon so he can see her. All the patients really do love Kang Tae. And the other nurse was like yeah even Joo Ri liked him and she about spit takes her coffee. Haha!
KT: Why did you bring Sang Tae? He'll get all worried.
JS: I always act like I believe your lies, but not this time. I can't let you get away with this.
Jae Su calling him out!
And Sang Tae comes with the porridge for Moon Young with the quail eggs she likes! Why are you apologizing?! Sorry? It's your fault? GIRL NO. At least Sang Tae says "If you want to apologize for something, you have to look at the person and say it. It's rude to just say sorry without even looking at the person." And she asks for forgiveness and he said "I'll forgive you if you eat this." And "my arm is getting tired." Omg seriously Sang Tae feeding her is HUGE. Not just because he's autistic, but for Moon Young, if the Moon brothers can be there for her despite all this then we know they can have a future together. And Sang Tae says "Don't fight with Kang Tae. You two should make up. A kiss is better than a fight. Okay?"
Sang Tae: #1 Moon Moon shipper. :)
Kang Tae confirming what Jae Su racked his brain all night for, finally letting him in on things he would always push to the side before.
JS: Kang Tae.
KT: Yes?
JS: Just accept it. Then you'll feel much more at ease.
KT: Accept what?
JS: The fact that you're weak. You're not strong at all. You're a total weakling. Both you are that woman, Go Moon Young. It's always those who are weak that act all tough. I can't stand it. Sine you're so weak, you can't just walk away from weak people. You want to lean on them, and vice versa. That's why weaklings are attracted to each other like magnets. So you'd better stick together. You weaklings should join forces and stick together. Then you guys will become invincible. I'm sure you've heard of the saying, "United we stand, divided we are dead meat." President Kim Dae Jung said that.
KT: President Rhee Syng Man. Not President Kim Sae Jung.
JS: Oh, is that right? I guess I was wrong again.
I mean it sounds harsh but his message was stick together. I love that. And the way Kang Tae corrected him AGAIN, haha classic.
Sang Tae so proud he got her to eat five spoons of porridge. And Sang Tae asking Kang Tae did she do something bad? "She kept crying, asking me to forgive her. I said to her that I'd forgive her if she at the porridge and she did. So I forgave her."
ST: So I forgave her.
KT: Really?
ST: Yes. I gave her my forgiveness.
KT: You did?
ST: By the way, are you feeling sick too?
KT: Sang Tae. Give me a hug. And pat me on the back.
ST: Okay.
KT: Sang Tae.
ST: Yes.
KT: I'm scared.
ST: What? You're scared? That's because you're the younger one. The little brother.
KT: Will you protect us?
ST: I'm older than you guys, so I'll protect you both. I'm your guardian.
KT: I'm relieved. Thank goodness I have a big brother like you.
Sooooo sweeeet! And then Kang Tae finds the envelope...with a book The Hand, The Monkfish. What's this story about!
"Once upon a time, a beautiful baby girl was born into a wealthy family. She was as beautiful and flawless as magnolias. Her mother loved her so much that she pledged she'd do anything for her baby. She said she would even present to her the sun and the moon. When the baby started eating solid foods, her mother was thrilled. 'My sweet child, I will feed you everything you want to eat. Open your mouth wide. Like this.' When the baby started walking, her mother ran hurriedly to where she was. 'My sweet child. I will carry you. Come on. Hop on my back.' After raising the baby by always providing her with everything she needed, the mother said this. 'My beloved child. I need some rest now. Can you get me some food?' Then the child spoke. 'Mom, I have no hands. I never used them, so they've vanished.' 'Then my sweet child, can you carry me on your back? My legs hurt.' Then the child said this. 'Mom, I have no feet. You always carried me on your back, so I've never even stepped on the ground. But instead, I have a huge mouth.' And she opened her humongous mouth. Then the mother shouted in anger. 'You weren't my perfect baby after all. You're like a useless monkfish. All you can do is eat what I feed you. You can't do anything on your own. You're an utter failure.' Then the mother threw the baby into the faraway sea. Ever since that day, it's been said that fisherman can hear a baby's cry on spooky, windy days out on the sea. 'Mom. Mom. What did I do wrong? Please come and get me. Please come back and get me."
Wow that's a scary one. And she wrote in it "This book was your only failure, but it's my favorite on out of everything you've written. Since you're a writer too, I'm sure you're well aware of this. All failures must be discarded." Yeah because you're a crazy person who deems value on people for not having the unrealistic perception of perfection at all times. The moral of this story to me is you can't control your children and not let them grow up and learn to do things themselves or else they will never even be able to live up to be someone a parent can be proud of. And if you call them a failure when really it was your own failure as a parent then that is all on you. How dare the mother in the story kill her child because of he own inability to let the child learn to be self sufficient.
Who is 'Suicide Bomber' in her contacts? "It's been a while. I know I owe you one. I'd really like to repay you. I'll give you something to write about. It's been too long."
She's going to publish her mom's book? Is it to drawn her mom out? Omg Moon Young with dark nails and that extravagant dress. She's going to stand up to her mom. She's done being sad and feeling sorry for herself for something she shouldn't feel sorry for? Good!
OH SHIT CRAZY MOM GOING TO SANG TAE O M G NO.
MY: I know exactly what to do to provoke my mom and have her come to me.
SI: Moon Young, please.
MY: Kang Tae can't catch the butterfly because he is a coward. I have to do it.
SI: Yes, you're right. Do Hui Jae contacted me. She told me to bring the manuscript.
MY: To where?
SI: I'll meet her alone. You just stay here--
MY: No, she's after me. Where are you meeting her?
SI: Moon Young.
MY: I asked you where you're meeting her.
So they're going somewhere to meet her?!
Omg she has Sang Tae and she's answering the phone.
KT: If you hurt him, I will not forgive you.
HJ: Only those who did something wrong seek forgiveness.
KT: Where can I meet you?
HJ: The cursed castle.
What Sang In and Moon Young left the house but now Kang Tae is meeting cocoa puffs there?! When Moon Young thinks she's being the brave one and calling him a coward?
Oooooooooooh Sang In lied!!!!! Because Kang Tae wants Moon Young far away from her mom so HE can face her instead! Omg he's absolutely the brave one, not a coward! And when Moon Young catches the drift she goes berserk wanting him to stop the car. Ugh they are both trying to be the strong one, but remember what Jae Su said? "So you'd better stick together. You weaklings should join forces and stick together. Then you guys will become invincible."
Omg her running barefoot in the road to get to the house!!!!! And the face to face with her crazy laugh ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
O M G THE PROMO. I'm going to delve into my optimistic depths and hope that despite the painful aspects I KNOW we will get some kind of bittersweet ending, if not a happy ending. WE HAVE TO Y'ALL.
