I loved what the CEO said about emotions, how 'even the same colour can take different names depending on its…
Yes! I knew that a lot of characters had said that. Sang Tae, Kang Tae, then Moon Young. Then right before Sang In said that I was like WHAT WHY DOES EVERYONE ASSUME THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE PERSON WHO LIKES YOU "MORE" and then he said that and I was praising him. You can't number people and you can love people in different ways. Friend love, romantic love, familial love, they are all different!
Good god his crying is the best. THIS IS IS SO FREAKING HEARTBREAKING. Moon Young realizing what she did, so much guilt because now Kang Tae is in pain and it's her fault. Her just following silently ughhhh my babies. Omg she threw her shoe at him. She just doesn't know yet how to help him but she's trying. Noooo don't tell her to stop following. She wants to hold his hand and now he's gonna push her away.
MY: You did nothing wrong. Your brother just got unlucky and fell into the river that day. You were a coward but you weren't malicious. You ran away, but in the end you came back and saved your brother. You're innocent. KT: I ran away because I really wanted him to die. Sang Tae knows that. And so did you. There's no way I'm innocent. MY: So are you going to sacrifice your entire life for your brother so you can atone for your sin? KT: Why did you save me from the river that day? You should've just left me to die. If I had died that day, I wouldn't have had to live this way.
BUT YOU CAME BACK KANG TAE. If you really and truly wanted to commit to Sang Tae being dead you would have let him die. And now you sacrifice the rest of your life to make up for that one childhood mistake? Baby boy you are so wrong on yourself. No one is saying the way you're living had to be the only way! Omg now all the patients are saying his smile was creepy. Y'all gossiping facks. Jeong Tae better set 'em straight. YEAH BOY. What a sweetie. Omg though with the fire extinguisher. Really.
Now Park Ok Ran and this nurse with sense! (I believe there was a misunderstanding between the two.) talking. Hmmm. "Why do you think Othello killed his wife? Because of a misunderstanding." Ok lady but that's Shakespeare. Don't stir the pot, woman!
Jae Su worried about Kang Tae. And trashing Mr. Lee. "Sang In means merchant! You're all about money!" "Then I guess according to your name, you're always out of luck." Jae Su saying none of this would have happened if Moon Young and Kang Tae didn't go together and Mr. Lee says "It takes two to tango. He went with her because he wanted to." Ha! Seung Jae "I really think you guys should shut up." She's so smart because ahjumma is about to SNAP. Yes everyone listen to her. She's feeding y'alls trifling little butts. Worried about everyone not skipping meals.
"That horrible jerk." And staring at her flowers. :( It's like of course we got a cute moment before all this crap. I knew it was coming but damn this hurts.
Joo Ri said something good when the other caregiver asked why Kang Tae was just sitting outside Sang Tae's room and not going in. "When someone has autism, it means they shut the doo to the world. Kang Tae is waiting for Sang Tae to open that door first."
Doctor saying to Sang Tae that Kang Tae is like a trapped ghost then musing to Sang Tae about how stubborn they are. Yes, indeedy! The three legged race reference, ah.
KT: Do you think we're both holding each other back? Doc: No. You're both relying on each other. As long as one person stays strong when the other person falls down, you guys will never fall down together. Try your best to stay strong. Who knows. Sang Tae might be the one to help you one day. KT: I thought Sang Tae had forgotten about everything. He never once mentioned that day. So I thought he had erased it from his mind. Doc: That's what you wanted to believe. But most people with autism have really good memory. They either just try to avoid their emotions or express their emotions a little differently compared to us. KT: "Avoid?" Doc: You shouldn't avoid it. Just face it head-on.
Ok but he HAS been strong, Doc. He's wounded from a lifetime of mustering strength from nowhere at the expense of his own happiness for the sake of Sang Tae! But he's getting his job back because Doc knows he needs the work to help him heal. Straight up savage though about that dude's slip about gossiping of Moon Young and him. "I should've stitched up your mouth, not your hand." YEAH BOY SAY IT.
Aw Jae Su "So this is how it feels to love someone unrequitedly. When you ignored my calls I was so worried that I got extremely angry. But now that I see you, it's hard to be angry at you. I warned you, didn't I? I told you to stay away from Go Moon Young. I told you to constantly remind yourself with that scar she gave you. " His brotherly love for Kang Tae. :) Awwwww Kang Tae saying "I woke up from my dream." Because his life is like a nightmare? :(
KT: I should've focused on my brother. But I dared to dream an impossible dream. I should've known my place. I dreamed the impossible dream.
Nooooooo it's not impossible. Moon Young is hurt in this, too. She finally got Kang Tae to accept his feelings and be forward with her and kiss her and she's had that ripped away, too. And Jae Su tempting Sang Tae with the pizza haha. Nooo Kang Tae don't ignore her. She's going to go back to being fiery and SHE BROUGHT HIM UNDERWEAR. Hehehe. I love how underwear is a thing with their culture. Now WHO put that book under the door for Sang Tae. WHAT DA FACK. Park Ok Ran you are soooo suspicious.
MY: I thought about it and I think this is for the best. It's time for you to stop playing hostage. KT: "Hostage?" MY: I don't want you to spend your entire life taking care of your brother. I know you want to live with me. You want me in your arms, and you want to have fun with me. KT: No. MY: Your mouth can tell lies. But those eyes cannot. KT: I woke up from my dream. MY: What? KT: It's my fault. I should've focused on my brother. He should've been my all. But I was distracted by you. I never should've stopped you that day we met again. I should've avoided you when you started talking about destiny. What we have is an ill-fated relationship. MY: Stop putting on an act. You told me I make you smile. So there's no way we're ill-fated. KT: Please do me a favor. Stay out of my life. MY: You promised not to leave me. Was that-- KT: Yes. It was all bullshit. It was my first time having fun, so I got too excited and just said whatever. My brother is already a handful. I'm already having a hard time bearing with him, so please...please...Please stop stirring up my miserable life. And get lost. MY: You're lying. Remember what you told me last time? When I told you to get lost, you told me it sounded like I was asking you not to leave. What you just said sounded like you want me to hold onto you. *takes his hand* Don't go. KT: *releases hand* No. You were like a firecracker to me. A one-time event. I had my fun, so it's time for you to get out of my life. *walks away* MY: *starts to cry* I'm not a firecracker! I'm a bomb! I don't disappear once I explode! I blow up and kill everyone!
NOOOOOOOOOOO. I mean he really is doing what he said. So much pain. The love is there but he's doing the whole pushing her away thing and now they are both in HEARTBREAK MODE. UGH THIS SUCKS. But let's just hope their reunion in a few eps will make up for this pain, yeah?
Aw Seung Jae sitting there like a stone statue waiting for Moon Young. Mr. Lee and Joo Ri haha. Classic car. Piece of junk, more like. Hahaha wanted some one on one time~ Awwww Sang Tae getting a new brachiosaurus. Oooh interesting speculation with the dinosaur stepmom.
Nurse: So, she was a good mom even though she was a fake mom. ST: That's right. Anything fake is bad, but all moms are good. Nurse: Was your mom also a good person? ST: She was a good mom to me, but a bad one to Kang Tae.
So Sang Tae KNOWS his mom was a bad mom to Kang Tae. Tell me more, tell me more.
Joo Ri's mom saying "They say you must be kind to the people you hate. I wholeheartedly agree with that saying. I hate you. That's why I cooked up this feast for you. You rejected my daughter, and you're now head over heels for another girl. How could I not hate you?" Then not wanting to kick them out, though, even if she doesn't like him. Awwww now he's crying "I don't want to be born again." Baby baby boy. I want to hug you so badly. He's such a good crier. Eating while crying.
Joo Ri saying "If you want to make the people around you happy, you must find your own happiness first." Well, Joo Ri. Kang Tae is not going to find happiness with the back into suppression mode and only living his life for Sang Tae. Just saying. "Being selfish isn't always a bad thing. Try to think about your happiness when things are too stressful. It's okay to do that."
Oh is his selfish favor to get his things from the house so he doesn't have to see Moon Young, who is trying her aeygo on Kang Tae? Ugh y'all know the longer you go avoiding each other the more awkward it gets to get things back into equilibrium. And Kang Tae apologizing "for everything". "Don't abandon me." Ughhh so sweet but so sad because I want them to be able to be brothers but not so dang co-dependent like they've been. Nothing will change, that way.
Look at that the girls drinking the wine together, there we go. Joo Ri's drunk and finally got to slap Moon Young. Now they can heal. Omg though Moon Young gets so abused in this show! She's been choked and slapped twice.
Ugh then their chat in bed and Sang Tae goes to talking to to his little dinosaur. And then later Kang Tae looking and reminiscing at the pictures he took with Moon Young. BOY YOU BETTER NOT DELETE THEM. You look at them and wonder why your heart hurts when you could figure out a way to be with both.
What is this constant who do you like more phrase?! People can like people equally in different manners of love and affection!!!!! THANK YOU MR. LEE FOR SAYING THAT. "When you're talking about people, you should never number them like that. You can cherish and care about people in different ways." THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT! "Think about the different kinds of yellow, such as vivid yellow, mustard yellow, and dull yellow. Even the same color can take different names depending on its chroma. The same goes for human emotions, such as affection. Fondness, hatred, love, friendship, and lust. They are like a rainbow." And Moon Young, classic Moon Young, saying "But when they're mixed together, they turn jet black."
You miss him. And he misses her. Y'ALL FOOLS. MY HEART.
Hmmm I really hope that Joo Ri and Kang Tae can settle being casual friends. I mean she gets him to talk casually to her like she wanted. He's tired from being up all night lonely thinking about Moon Young, yeah? Are you seriously going to keep ignoring her calls? She's a bomb that's going to explode!
Park Ok Ran stirring stuff UP. She's Moon Young's mom right? "Your daughter is not a monster." Yessss. Even the denying his love he can't help but defend her to her dad. And it's Moon Young's birthday? Awwww. And the necklace Mr. Lee got her. And here she goes. I like that she goes to Sang Tae and gives Mang Tae back and is going to at least try. But he rejects her as a bestie.
MY: You know the story, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, right? The shepherd boy lied all the time. The boy repeatedly lied to the villagers that a real wolf showed up. Do you know why the boy tricked the villagers like that? ST: He was bored, obviously. MY: No. Because he was lonely. He did that because he was so lonely, all by himself in the mountains. The shepherd boy lied because he was so lonely. But when a wolf actually appeared, no one came to help him. Had even just one person believe him and came to help him, the boy wouldn't have died.
Ohhh snap. Kang Tae realizing it's her birthday and Park Ok Ran might be her mom and that her mom is to be feared. It's not going to be a cry wolf, though? He's running to her. Right? OH MY GOD. So despite the pain and knowing and trying to push her away he CANNOT leave her be omggggggg. Please. The next preview is so much happier. The real healing begins. Sang Tae will learn to let more people in, and maybe Kang Tae and Moon Young can be happy? Omg pleaaaaaase. I feel better now that I've seen the preview.
I think part of their relationship growth is to settle everything first. KT and ST's problem for now. And yes,…
I really hope we get more clarification on the memories. Because clearly memories can be misremembered and our perception of events is different even when two people are both sharing the same moment of time in their head. And Moon Young is a third party who was there and as we saw in Kang Tae's memory of what happened he hesitates in saving Sang Tae but in the end saves him and he falls through the ice while Sang Tae walks off leaving Kang Tae in the water. So what does Sang Tae remember it as? Hmmm. And also, can't Sang Tae think about how if Kang Tae really wanted him dead would he sacrifice so much of his life and keep being there for him for so long. It's so sweet but also heartbreaking because no one should live such a selfless life. We're entitled to have moments of selfishness, as Moon Young has begun to open the door to Kang Tae craving that. I hope there's a happy medium they can all come to.
Am I the only one who LOVED their first kiss? like I know that they are definitely attracted to each other and…
Yeah, I loved it. I mean it's his first kiss. And HE initiated it. Yeah it was really more of a peck BUT it's like making up for the innocent first kiss they never got when they were younger. Hopefully next time we get a heartbreaking kiss initiated by Moon Young where there's adult passion and pain and love and loss all wrapped up in one. Much different kind of kiss than the first one. Anyway I'll take anything they give me. We waited 9 eps for this and I LOVED IT. Because of the meaning it had with the flowers. "Don't trample on them this time." And she just smiled at him. Perfect.
Moon Young talking like ABROAD. Africa. Girl. MY: 'What in the world have I done?' Is that what you're thinking right now? KT: No, not at all. MY: You'd better not be thinking that. You impressed me by punching that guy and even asked me to take you on a trip. Don't tell me you're starting to regret it. KT: No, of course not. I'm not regretting it. *nervous laugh* MY: Then let's go to Serengeti. KT: I don't have a passport. MY: Are you from outer space? (Ha, good reference to My Love From the Star.) Who doesn't have a passport these days? KT: Me, I don't. (Same, Kang Tae. I've never left my country, either. I want to though!)
Omg the speeding the car demanding about do you want to go for a day or spend the night with me? Do you want to spend the night with me or die with me? Omg Moon Young you are just too much sometimes.
MY: Who says I'm joking around? KT: Please. At least count to three before you do anything impulsive. MY: Did you count to three before you punched that guy?
OMG NO DON'T SEPARATE. Ok I know they don't because the preview showed them together more. Aw Jae Su saying "You're so strange these days." Psycho virus hehehe. But then he just tells him "I want to have fun." AND SAYS SERENGETI. D'AW.
O M G doctor saying. "It's just like when you fart. If you hold it in 99 times and finally let it out, it could kill people." And Joo Ri's mom being like yeah I rejected him three times. 시러! 시러! 시러!
Awww A Reum leaving and Jeong-Tae being so upset.
Awww Jae Su saying sure before Kang Tae even finishes his sentence asking for a favor. I nominate Jae Su "Best Best Friend" in a kdrama. And Moon Young trying to convince Sang Tae she and him are best friends. Aw and Kang Tae actually grabbing HER this time "Can we talk?" Yes, please!
KT: Are we not going anywhere tomorrow? MY: Did you overreact like that earlier to have fun for just one day? KT: One day is more than enough for me. I dreamt of that day my entire life. MY: You're so annoying. KT: So are we going tomorrow? MY: Sometimes, you're a like a tamer, not a caregiver. KT: "A tamer"? MY: I feel like you're taming me. KT: I think it's the opposite. I keep doing things I wouldn't normally do because of you. Earlier, I couldn't hear or see anything. I must have been out of my mind. I really couldn't hold my anger. MY: No, you weren't out of your mind. You were stunning.
OMG HE WENT IN FOR THE KISSSSSSSSSS. Damn deer. You're ruining things!
Seung Jae telling Joo Ri "I would never do something so dumb. It's such a waste of time." (to be in a one-sided love) I love her. I mean he has plenty to offer, though. A GOOD HEART AND KIND SOUL?! What else do you need in a man? I mean wow. Seung Jae saying Joo Ri needs to be with an older, laid back, broad-minded businessman. Hmmmm. Haha. Who could THAT be? *camera pans to Mr Lee ㅎㅎㅎ*
Kang Tae really keeps thinking he's crazy. NO BABY LIKE BEYONCÉ SAID IT'S JUST CRAZY IN LOVE. Omg they both can't sleep. " He shouldn't have held back his desire either."
Looks it's THE song the show is named after. We need a remix of this or something. Like straight up.
Sang Tae being so worked up over Moon Young claiming to be his bestie. REALLY hope this doesn't turn things sour.
"Everyone got fooled by that woman. She had the face of an angel. But there lives a demon inside." Ok dude but that's your wife not your daughter. Don't go around choking Moon Young or we're gonna have PROBLEMS. Is Park Ok Ran the mom? Hmmmmm.
MOON YOUNG YOU ARE TOO MUCH, I LOVE YOU.
KT: Are you doing a circus show? MY: Are you running away? KT: I mean...can't you wear something comfortable. MY: I feel comfortable naked. KT: Don't you have anything normal? MY: I don't want to look normal. KT: Why not? MY: Because it's normal.
Cracking me up her just chucking his provisions. "Are we evacuating?" He's a thoughtful and prepared man. WATCH THEM NEED A BANDAGE LATER AND SHE THREW IT OUT. I will never be over how she gets all up in his personal space. And the doctor already done been known about the ~date with Ms. Go~. Smart man. And the breakdown of wearing clothes as protection. The clothes are Moon Young's armor. "So you should do a good job of protecting her."
Omg Moon Young grilling Sang Tae. I gave you Mang Tae. You can't have Gang Tae. ㅠㅠ
MY: Do you know the story called King Donkey Ears? ST: Yes, the guy goes into the bamboo forest and shouts, 'The king has donkey ears!' MY: Yes, that's right. If you keep a secret to yourself, you end up getting frustrated. You need to tell someone in order to relieve your stress.
"But just in case I wanted to ask you to protect Ms. Go and be there for her." Checkity check, not a problem.
Seriously though, Sang Tae just laying it out. "What kind of part timer wants to hang out with his boss at his place?" I'm laughing. Jae Su is so crushed.
MY: Is this the deviation you've been dreaming of? Are we going to tie a rope around our ankle and jump or something? KT: Shall we? Let's go. MY: No. KT: Why not? MY: I'm scared. KT: *laughs big beautiful smile* MY: Why are you laughing? KT: Well...hearing you say the word, "scared"-- MY: You think it's funny? Do you think it'll be fun to cross this stupid bridge? KT: I just wanted to come up high and enjoy and open view. I can't come here with Sang Tae.
Moon Young trying to scam a piggyback ride out of him and failing. Aw why won't he just hold her hand in the very least?! C'mon boy. Aw, the picture taking. 'I told you to smile, not cry.' Awwww A Reum and Jeong Tae meeting up for a love rendezvous. Just let them have their night, Kang Tae! Oh she was holding his hand, you can't see it behind the bushes much. "Your rationality can never win against your desires". Literally preaching from a mountain, O Wise Moon Young.
She's trying to get him to say the night. "I've been suspended from work so I refuse to work." Quit wiggling out of it, Kang Tae! But then his little sigh. What will they doooooo.
Seung Jae is one smart cookie but also making it awkward for everyone. ㅎㅎㅎ Mr. Lee reaally likes Joo Ri, huh. She's just so blinded by her useless one sided love for Kang Tae. And Mr. Lee saying he's stuck to Moon Young because he doesn't want her to be lonely. Good guy. "There can be countless reasons as to why we fall for someone. For example, you might fall for how pretty they look when they cry. Or you might fall for them when they get drunk and swear at you. Or it might be when they unexpectedly slap you in the face. Mr. Moon must've also found some kind of reason to fall for Moon Young." Mr. Lee basically confessing right there to Joo Ri.
Oh boy the call telling Sang Tae he won't be back tonight. Call me if you get bored. Oh he can't be bored.
MY: Oh, I've seen that face on TV dramas. KT: What do you mean? MY: The face of a man who is cheating on his wife. I don't want to be a mistress. I want to be a faithful wife. KT: But those two can't be best friends, can they? Sang Tae was happy about being best friends with you. MY: Well, I'm also fond of your brother. He's cute. KT: There was something my mom wished for her whole life. Seeing Sang Tae with a friend. A real friend who truly understands him. Just one. MY: I had a friend like that a long time ago as well. A friend who understands me.
Look are Joo Ri trying. Why did people pick on her? Moon Young and her were friends as kids? And all because Moon Young just couldn't share? She wanted Joo Ri all to herself? Hmm. But Moon Young saying I have you now. OMG IT'S BOOZE. But good thing Jeong Tae spit it out. But Kang Tae is going to be tipsy. AND THINGS WILL GET BAD AHEM I MEAN GOOD. YEAH.
MY: I see that you smile a lot like an idiot when you're drunk. KT: I have fun when I'm with you. I keep on smiling. MY: This won't do. KT: What do you mean? MY: *attempts to glomp* KT: *attempts to abscond*
Omg ok I mean I don't want their first kiss to be when he's drunk but this is so cute. And A Reum and Jeong Tae sitting there. AR: Who's more in love? JT: The one who's more patient. AR: Why? JT: Because love is all about patience. So sweet. And KANG TAE PINNING HER TO THE GROUND ON TOP OF HER OH MY. And she keeps trying to kiss him and he's just desperately hugging her and saying just sleep so she won't awwww.
MY: I heard you can fall asleep easily when someone caresses your hair. And then he caresses her hair. Omg though the flaming desire underneath. "I told you that I can no longer hold myself back." THEN DON'T. "I guess I can't run away anymore." NOPE.
MY: Where were you? KT: Well...to get what I couldn't give you last time. MY: What? KT: Don't trample on them this time. MY: They're beautiful. KT: So are you.
O M G AND HE PICKED THE LITTLE FLOWERSSSS LIKE WHEN THEY WERE KIDS!!!! OMG I'M DYING. THEY FINALLY KISSSSSSSSSED OMG. IT WAS SUCH A LITTLE PRECIOUS PECK, THOUGH. I HOPE THEY GET HOT AND HEAVY NEXT TIME. And the way it flashes to little Moon Young holding the flowers and their hand holding back.
Aw, Jeong Tae is the patient love. "Running away like this will turn our love into nothing but a petty and cowardly act." He wants to be well from his alcoholism to care for her happiness. It's so sad but I really hope they get through it and can reunite.
MY: Is he a fool? Why let her go if he loves her? KT: Because he loves her a lot. Sometimes, that's why you must let someone go. MY: So they broke up because they love each other? That's complete bullshit. I will never let you go. KT: Don't be so sure of it. You never know what could happen.
Please don't be foreshadowing Moon Young and Kang Tae, though. I mean who are we kidding this is a kdrama. BUT REALLY. Omg. We going to die ten times over from whatever upcoming obstacles they face end up being. Well Moon Young turned off his phone I think, and now Kang Tae is lying to Sang Tae BUT. BUT. It will be ok. We'll get through this, y'all.
Omg dude. They've literally only been on one date stop creating a scandalous rumor!!! OH FACK SANG TAE HEARD. I mean that question of who do you like more. You can't compare brotherly love with romantic love. He loves them both the most. And Sang Tae fixating on the "I wish you were dead" thing he did as kids. That's him letting the secret out. It's his King Donkey Ears moment. Kant Tae was a child! Of course he didn't mean it. OH FECKING FACK. I wish we'd seen Moon Young go to him. Why does it end there?!?!?! I'm so glad we have tomorrow's ep tomorrow.
Happy Okay Day my Okayays! I've been distracting myself all week by being at work, or with life errands in general or watching other dramas to pass time. I found myself watching clips back on Youtube or fanvideos, though, of course. T-minus 7 hours 25 minutes now! I'll be at work when it airs but here asap tomorrow afternoon to flail about episode 9!
3 new OST songs released guys!!! In Silence is here. :))https://open.spotify.com/album/3dUnWJ6LwEcnXXCTvYPzyf?si=I4G2VxFFQD-1NpFNYvt-JA
Thank you! Seriously this is the #1 OST for any show I've watched. Usually there's one or two songs in other shows that are memorable. But this one is one where I've loved almost every single song. I think it helps a lot of very instrumentally unique. Truly instantly recognizable within the first few seconds.
Fellow comment campers, has any of you started learning Korean or Chinese due to your addiction to dramas?
네, 맞아요. But I know watching dramas helps (for me) with understanding speech patterns, intonation and catching a few words here and there and is not really going to help me be fluent. Not anytime soon, anyway, but I've only been watching kdramas since February. I have bought some workbooks and a verb guide and am following Talk To Me In Korean's website/Youtube and a few other YT channels. If the 'rona wasn't going on I'd probably look into enrolling in some type of local class if it was available but I'm just making do with the free internet resources for now.
Aside from MY, ST and GT , who is your favorite supporting character if you can only choose one?
Jae Su, he's such a good friend to stay with Kang Tae and Sang Tae through all their moves. You don't need 100 mediocre friends if you have just one good true friend like him.
*throws water on Dae Oh's face* I said I'd only talk until that glass was emptied. SAVAGE.
For now I still am rubbed the wrong way by his character. He seems so petty and only goes down a route if it suits him. Maybe he'll change. But regardless of who the father is I still like Yeon Woo the most in regards to romantic prospects.
I work in a store that sells food and necessary household items so we're "essential". Not like we have opportunities for jobs with the current world order. So I'm basically stuck there for the foreseeable future. It's ok as long as I stay healthy and I am lucky that I'm not someone who has been laid off work or has to struggle trying to get unemployment.
I just got my work schedule for next week and I'm actually upset I work Saturday morning. I won't be able to be here first thing when the episode comes out. It'll be around 3 or 4pm (my time) instead of 10 or 11am, when I usually finish watching and post my reactions. I will be here asap that day, my fellow Okayays! In my head I've been calling us Okayays because we're so yay for the Okay Day. :)
Have you guys seen the change of MY's nail polish/nail paint(sorry idk much about that) from black to white ??I…
And her wardrobe, too! I read or maybe it was mentioned here by someone else earlier that her clothes started very extravagant and striking with bold prints and and accessories (think of that fascinator, that's a very ornate hair accessory) and they've grown more muted and neutral over the course of the episodes so far. Paired with her haircut, and it's just a huge change!
I didn't mention it last time how sweet it was. Simply sweet. Haircuts can be a very personal thing and it was so intimate how he did it. And she let him. That's a really beautiful thing. I didn't even mention, either, the tear that came from her eye when she asked how she looked and he said pretty. She's pretty as herself, not the self her mother had instilled her to be presented with, the long hair. And she's free. I love how much they're smiling. I mean dang we've seen Kang Tae smile more in the past 2 eps that we have in the previous 6! Omg so precious, defending her haircut. I love it. Kicking Sang Tae under the table, hee.
She gave him her car keys hee. "Come and spend time with me." Really the shorter hair makes her much more innocent and inviting. Only he can cut her hair. "I don't like it when other people touch me. But you're an exception. Only you can touch me."
"She's dead. But she's here." Is he hallucinating, is the mom really there, is he seeing Moon Young as Moon Young's mom.
Haha, I am still tickled about the later comment being "sometime before you die."
I love how she asks Mr. Lee does he like Joo Ri. Well he must. But also he's not an ugly man. I mean yes I personally like Kang Tae's face more but Mr. Lee isn't ugly.
Omg he's reminiscing about her prettiness. Uh oh. Boy you in trouble. "I must be crazy." Nope, just falling in love!
What do you want. He wants Moon Young's classes back? He is doing something for her. The minute she hears Kang Tae's name she's like ok I'm coming!
Kang Tae's emotional eating of the jjamppong. OMG I'm dying. He's sad but then laughing because Sang Tae legit just said it makes your butthole hurt the next day. I love it when you cry laugh. OMG THE PARALLEL OF THE UMBRELLA MOMENT FOR MOON YOUNG AND BABY KANG TAE. I really wanted Kang Tae to turn around then. But at least she linked arms with him and he didn't make her stop immediately? I think she grabs his wrist or hand, too. And he let her? (!)
Ok how hot was it when Kang Tae's stare went intense when that guy in the coffee shop walked up to Moon Young. I love it. AND HE WAS ACTUALLY MAD SHE DIDN'T TELL THAT GUY HE WAS HER BOYFRIEND I THINK. Omg he's so possessive, I love it. I'm sorry, usually I don't like it but for Kang Tae I do because he needs to learn to be selfish for once. I knew she did that just to get that calligraphy pen. I love it, I LOVE IT. But also she did kind of set the stage to get Kang Tae riled a bit.
Haaaaaa, getting Mr. Lee to live in the Joo Ri's place. That's one way to get her to not be a bitch, as he said. And give up on Kang Tae. It's better for her character, in my opinion.
Uh oh. Is Sang Tae that upset about Moon Young and Kang Tae's budding relationship? Is is jealous because he likes Moon Young or LIKES her?
I LOVE HOW MAD KANG TAE IS. He wouldn't be this mad if he wasn't seriously falling for Moon Young. He got so flustered and hot he took off his second shirt. I need to fan MYSELF over that.
Aw how sweet is it about the two patients trying to secretly date. At least he asks to kiss her. But then the other guy takes a nap. (Do people fall asleep that fast? I could never, wow I'm jealous.) And Kang Tae catching them sneaking out. Love is not a sin, aw. That's sad.
Aw, uh oh. Sang Tae's jealous about Mang Tae. "I never gave him up for adoption." Oh nooooo now you've ripped him! Omg her nose is bleeding, though! All the feathers, though. And now Kang Tae has to figure out how to appease them both.
KT: You know that Mang Tae can't catch the butterflies anyway. ST: Mang Tae can't catch the butterflies. KT: What did you say? I can't really hear you. ST: *opens doors* He's of no use if he can't catch the butterflies. KT: Exactly. You shoved it into the drawer and forgot about it, so I gave it to Ms. Go. I'm sorry I didn't ask for your permission first. But when you don't need something, it's nice to offer it to someone who needs it. ST: "Offer?" KT: Yes, that's right. ST: But...if I give all my stuff to people who need them, what about me? What will I have left? KT: You will always have me. Forget Mang Tae. You have Kang Tae. St: Ms Go. is alone, so she needs Mang Tae. KT: Then will you let her have Mang Tae? ST: Yes, she can have it. She can have Mang Tae, not Kang Tae. She can have Mang Tae, not Kang Tae. KT: Yes. She can have Mang Tae, not Kang Tae. ST: Yes, she can take him.
UH OH. I already know it. He's not going to be able to handle Kang Tae and Moon Young growing closer. This is going to get so emotional and messy before it gets better.
MY: I can't sleep because I'm fuming mad. What did I do wrong? KT: Sang Tae said you could have him. Mang Tae. Mang Tae is all yours now. MY: Whatever. It was mine to begin with. KT: Try to stay calm even when Sang Tae gets worked up. MY: Don't give me orders, KT: It's not an order. I'm asking you for a favor. MY: But how can I suppress my anger and stay calm? Tell me. You're an expert at it. I saw you do it when I cut your hand with a knife. Even when that man grabbed your brother by the hair at the bookstore and when your brother beat the crap out of you on the floor. You just kept it all inside and let him beat you up. How do you do that? KT: If I just suck it up, nothing will happen. If I let my emotions get the better of me without thinking about the consequences, Sang Tae and I wouldn't have this kind of relationship. Keeping it all inside an enduring it is the only way I can protect Sang Tae. MY: I think that's why we're meant to be. You're patient and I'm volatile. Like a bomb and its safety pin. We go hand in hand. We're meant to be together. KT: How many guys do you think you're meant to be with? MY: What do you mean? KT: Why don't you go ask your "handsome" fan? MY: "Handsome"? Ah, you mean, this pen? What do you think? Isn't it so handsome? Just look at this shape. It's perfect. But you know, you're much more handsome than this pen. *blows his ear* KT: *flustered* Gosh, what are you doing? MY: So don't be jealous. *LAYS HEAD DOWN IN KANG TAE'S LAP* KT: *lies* What? I'm not jealous. MY: I'm sleepy. KT: Go upstairs and sleep. MY: I don't want to. Mang Tae is here. Relax, will you?
Omggggggggg this whole scene. Yesssssssssss. And he fixed the little Mang Tae and covers her up. My heart. And he sits there and takes her hand briefly while she sleeps. Boy has never gotten to know love and he's like a little baby bird learning to fly, learning to love, flapping his little love wings.
Jae Su shaving Mr. Lee's mustaches and their spat is too funny. Cracking up that Joo Ri said he looked better with the mustache. And I'm sensing a love line between Jae Su and Seung Jae? I like Joo Ri's mom pushing Mr. Lee for her. She doesn't need to be continuously latched to Kang Tae who will never love her.
I love Sang Tae and Moon Young pestering Kang Tae at the same time. Sang Tae about Moon Young's hair and Moon Young about Joo Ri. Hehehe.
KT: Stop talking nonsense. MY: Then why did you unlink my arm? KT: Why should I link arms with you? MY: Because we go hand in hand. KT: Let go. MY: The bomb needs its safety pin.
And Sang Tae in-between. He's nooooot going to like their continual growing closeness. I sense this blowing up more.
The doctor telling Moon Young that Kang Tae threatened that he wouldn't do anything the doc told him until Moon Young's classes were reinstated. Heeee. "He glared at me and gave me an ultimatum." " I guess he wants to see you even when he's working."
I like that Kang Tae didn't tell on the two lovebird patients...yet, anyway. And I hope it doesn't backlash. I feel like we're due for a couple of really gut wrenching scenes. More so than any we've had before. The patient saying that he'll try to follow the rules and be with the girl he likes after they're discharged...
"But to be honest, it's hard. Unlike you, I'm not that patient. It'd be better if I never saw her. I see her every day, and it's really driving me crazy. I tell myself to just never look at her. But I keep thinking about her even when I close my eyes. Then when I see her, I want to touch her. Whenever I see her smile with another guy, I get so pissed off. My head keeps saying I shouldn't, but I can't stop looking at her. And my heart can only follow my eyes. It's really driving me crazy. "
KANG TAE THINKING ABOUT MOON YOUNG AS HE SAYS THIS. Boy realizing he's in deep now.
MY: Beauty and the Beast is a story about Stockholm Syndrome. The Beast lives alone in the castle because of a curse. He holds a lady named Belle hostage in the castle and grooms this victim of his. That's what the story is about. PW: Isn't it about a kindhearted lady being locked in a castle instead of her father and helping the Beast remove the curse on him because she falls in love with him? MY: The Beast is usually selfish and harsh on Belle. So doing something nice once in a blue moon and gazing at her with a faint smile on his face was enough to move the naive lady, Belle. 'Ah. The Beast is lonely. I should embrace him with my love. Only I can change him.'" PW: But Belle was being delusional. MY: Correct." AR: No! Beauty and the Beast isn't some crude story about the Beast grooming his victim. MY: Then what is it? AR: The Beast turns into a prince because of the power of Belle's true love. Belle's love calmed the Beast's violet nature. That love embraced his wounded soul. The greatest thing anyone can do as a human being. It's...pure love.
Moon Young is the Beast and Kang Tae is Belle!
Moon Young throwing that can at his face "OH MY, I THOUGH YOU WERE THE TRASH CAN." S A V A G E. Omg and he hits her and and Kang Tae comes up and full on punches the dude in retaliation. And he was going to do more. He really got held up in the moment all from seeing Moon Young get hit, though. Wow. And he helps Moon Young up. My heart flutters. She had a rock in her hand, though. But she didn't need to use it because he stepped in first. And he's taking the punishment for the action. And he's never really had to do that. His coworker being dumbfounded about it, too.
"It wasn't a mistake." Yeah because he truly wanted to hit that dude who hit Moon Young. It's simple math, y'all. Who lets a woman get hit?! AND HE WAS SMILING. HEE. He's not even mad tho. AND RUNNING OVER TO THE CAR FULL ON SMILING TO MOON YOUNG. LIKE A LITTLE HAPPY BOY IN LOVE. FLAP YOUR LITTLE LOVE WINGS. FLY, BOY, FLY!
"You said before you'll run away with me whenever I want. I want to go on a trip with you. Right now. Let's go." HAND HOLDINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! SMILES!!!!!!!!!
wow! thank you for this post! appreciate the effort. loved reading it!
Thanks, it's fun! My okay day ritual is start the ep and make these notes as I watch. I have to pause a fair amount especially when I'm transcribing the bits I like. But it's worth it. Especially for anyone who wants to read it back again over and over, like I do.
https://open.spotify.com/track/1f91isclGlcRYGEfP1HuLd?si=Y-GxS-zlTZ6Ra3_of_JHaQ
MY: You did nothing wrong. Your brother just got unlucky and fell into the river that day. You were a coward but you weren't malicious. You ran away, but in the end you came back and saved your brother. You're innocent.
KT: I ran away because I really wanted him to die. Sang Tae knows that. And so did you. There's no way I'm innocent.
MY: So are you going to sacrifice your entire life for your brother so you can atone for your sin?
KT: Why did you save me from the river that day? You should've just left me to die. If I had died that day, I wouldn't have had to live this way.
BUT YOU CAME BACK KANG TAE. If you really and truly wanted to commit to Sang Tae being dead you would have let him die. And now you sacrifice the rest of your life to make up for that one childhood mistake? Baby boy you are so wrong on yourself. No one is saying the way you're living had to be the only way! Omg now all the patients are saying his smile was creepy. Y'all gossiping facks. Jeong Tae better set 'em straight. YEAH BOY. What a sweetie. Omg though with the fire extinguisher. Really.
Now Park Ok Ran and this nurse with sense! (I believe there was a misunderstanding between the two.) talking. Hmmm. "Why do you think Othello killed his wife? Because of a misunderstanding." Ok lady but that's Shakespeare. Don't stir the pot, woman!
Jae Su worried about Kang Tae. And trashing Mr. Lee. "Sang In means merchant! You're all about money!" "Then I guess according to your name, you're always out of luck." Jae Su saying none of this would have happened if Moon Young and Kang Tae didn't go together and Mr. Lee says "It takes two to tango. He went with her because he wanted to." Ha! Seung Jae "I really think you guys should shut up." She's so smart because ahjumma is about to SNAP. Yes everyone listen to her. She's feeding y'alls trifling little butts. Worried about everyone not skipping meals.
"That horrible jerk." And staring at her flowers. :( It's like of course we got a cute moment before all this crap. I knew it was coming but damn this hurts.
Joo Ri said something good when the other caregiver asked why Kang Tae was just sitting outside Sang Tae's room and not going in. "When someone has autism, it means they shut the doo to the world. Kang Tae is waiting for Sang Tae to open that door first."
Doctor saying to Sang Tae that Kang Tae is like a trapped ghost then musing to Sang Tae about how stubborn they are. Yes, indeedy! The three legged race reference, ah.
KT: Do you think we're both holding each other back?
Doc: No. You're both relying on each other. As long as one person stays strong when the other person falls down, you guys will never fall down together. Try your best to stay strong. Who knows. Sang Tae might be the one to help you one day.
KT: I thought Sang Tae had forgotten about everything. He never once mentioned that day. So I thought he had erased it from his mind.
Doc: That's what you wanted to believe. But most people with autism have really good memory. They either just try to avoid their emotions or express their emotions a little differently compared to us.
KT: "Avoid?"
Doc: You shouldn't avoid it. Just face it head-on.
Ok but he HAS been strong, Doc. He's wounded from a lifetime of mustering strength from nowhere at the expense of his own happiness for the sake of Sang Tae! But he's getting his job back because Doc knows he needs the work to help him heal. Straight up savage though about that dude's slip about gossiping of Moon Young and him. "I should've stitched up your mouth, not your hand." YEAH BOY SAY IT.
Aw Jae Su "So this is how it feels to love someone unrequitedly. When you ignored my calls I was so worried that I got extremely angry. But now that I see you, it's hard to be angry at you. I warned you, didn't I? I told you to stay away from Go Moon Young. I told you to constantly remind yourself with that scar she gave you. " His brotherly love for Kang Tae. :) Awwwww Kang Tae saying "I woke up from my dream." Because his life is like a nightmare? :(
KT: I should've focused on my brother. But I dared to dream an impossible dream. I should've known my place. I dreamed the impossible dream.
Nooooooo it's not impossible. Moon Young is hurt in this, too. She finally got Kang Tae to accept his feelings and be forward with her and kiss her and she's had that ripped away, too. And Jae Su tempting Sang Tae with the pizza haha. Nooo Kang Tae don't ignore her. She's going to go back to being fiery and SHE BROUGHT HIM UNDERWEAR. Hehehe. I love how underwear is a thing with their culture. Now WHO put that book under the door for Sang Tae. WHAT DA FACK. Park Ok Ran you are soooo suspicious.
MY: I thought about it and I think this is for the best. It's time for you to stop playing hostage.
KT: "Hostage?"
MY: I don't want you to spend your entire life taking care of your brother. I know you want to live with me. You want me in your arms, and you want to have fun with me.
KT: No.
MY: Your mouth can tell lies. But those eyes cannot.
KT: I woke up from my dream.
MY: What?
KT: It's my fault. I should've focused on my brother. He should've been my all. But I was distracted by you. I never should've stopped you that day we met again. I should've avoided you when you started talking about destiny. What we have is an ill-fated relationship.
MY: Stop putting on an act. You told me I make you smile. So there's no way we're ill-fated.
KT: Please do me a favor. Stay out of my life.
MY: You promised not to leave me. Was that--
KT: Yes. It was all bullshit. It was my first time having fun, so I got too excited and just said whatever. My brother is already a handful. I'm already having a hard time bearing with him, so please...please...Please stop stirring up my miserable life. And get lost.
MY: You're lying. Remember what you told me last time? When I told you to get lost, you told me it sounded like I was asking you not to leave. What you just said sounded like you want me to hold onto you. *takes his hand* Don't go.
KT: *releases hand* No. You were like a firecracker to me. A one-time event. I had my fun, so it's time for you to get out of my life. *walks away*
MY: *starts to cry* I'm not a firecracker! I'm a bomb! I don't disappear once I explode! I blow up and kill everyone!
NOOOOOOOOOOO. I mean he really is doing what he said. So much pain. The love is there but he's doing the whole pushing her away thing and now they are both in HEARTBREAK MODE. UGH THIS SUCKS. But let's just hope their reunion in a few eps will make up for this pain, yeah?
Aw Seung Jae sitting there like a stone statue waiting for Moon Young. Mr. Lee and Joo Ri haha. Classic car. Piece of junk, more like. Hahaha wanted some one on one time~ Awwww Sang Tae getting a new brachiosaurus. Oooh interesting speculation with the dinosaur stepmom.
Nurse: So, she was a good mom even though she was a fake mom.
ST: That's right. Anything fake is bad, but all moms are good.
Nurse: Was your mom also a good person?
ST: She was a good mom to me, but a bad one to Kang Tae.
So Sang Tae KNOWS his mom was a bad mom to Kang Tae. Tell me more, tell me more.
Joo Ri's mom saying "They say you must be kind to the people you hate. I wholeheartedly agree with that saying. I hate you. That's why I cooked up this feast for you. You rejected my daughter, and you're now head over heels for another girl. How could I not hate you?" Then not wanting to kick them out, though, even if she doesn't like him. Awwww now he's crying "I don't want to be born again." Baby baby boy. I want to hug you so badly. He's such a good crier. Eating while crying.
Joo Ri saying "If you want to make the people around you happy, you must find your own happiness first." Well, Joo Ri. Kang Tae is not going to find happiness with the back into suppression mode and only living his life for Sang Tae. Just saying. "Being selfish isn't always a bad thing. Try to think about your happiness when things are too stressful. It's okay to do that."
Oh is his selfish favor to get his things from the house so he doesn't have to see Moon Young, who is trying her aeygo on Kang Tae? Ugh y'all know the longer you go avoiding each other the more awkward it gets to get things back into equilibrium. And Kang Tae apologizing "for everything". "Don't abandon me." Ughhh so sweet but so sad because I want them to be able to be brothers but not so dang co-dependent like they've been. Nothing will change, that way.
Look at that the girls drinking the wine together, there we go. Joo Ri's drunk and finally got to slap Moon Young. Now they can heal. Omg though Moon Young gets so abused in this show! She's been choked and slapped twice.
Ugh then their chat in bed and Sang Tae goes to talking to to his little dinosaur. And then later Kang Tae looking and reminiscing at the pictures he took with Moon Young. BOY YOU BETTER NOT DELETE THEM. You look at them and wonder why your heart hurts when you could figure out a way to be with both.
What is this constant who do you like more phrase?! People can like people equally in different manners of love and affection!!!!! THANK YOU MR. LEE FOR SAYING THAT. "When you're talking about people, you should never number them like that. You can cherish and care about people in different ways." THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT! "Think about the different kinds of yellow, such as vivid yellow, mustard yellow, and dull yellow. Even the same color can take different names depending on its chroma. The same goes for human emotions, such as affection. Fondness, hatred, love, friendship, and lust. They are like a rainbow." And Moon Young, classic Moon Young, saying "But when they're mixed together, they turn jet black."
You miss him. And he misses her. Y'ALL FOOLS. MY HEART.
Hmmm I really hope that Joo Ri and Kang Tae can settle being casual friends. I mean she gets him to talk casually to her like she wanted. He's tired from being up all night lonely thinking about Moon Young, yeah? Are you seriously going to keep ignoring her calls? She's a bomb that's going to explode!
Park Ok Ran stirring stuff UP. She's Moon Young's mom right? "Your daughter is not a monster." Yessss. Even the denying his love he can't help but defend her to her dad. And it's Moon Young's birthday? Awwww. And the necklace Mr. Lee got her. And here she goes. I like that she goes to Sang Tae and gives Mang Tae back and is going to at least try. But he rejects her as a bestie.
MY: You know the story, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, right? The shepherd boy lied all the time. The boy repeatedly lied to the villagers that a real wolf showed up. Do you know why the boy tricked the villagers like that?
ST: He was bored, obviously.
MY: No. Because he was lonely. He did that because he was so lonely, all by himself in the mountains. The shepherd boy lied because he was so lonely. But when a wolf actually appeared, no one came to help him. Had even just one person believe him and came to help him, the boy wouldn't have died.
Ohhh snap. Kang Tae realizing it's her birthday and Park Ok Ran might be her mom and that her mom is to be feared. It's not going to be a cry wolf, though? He's running to her. Right? OH MY GOD. So despite the pain and knowing and trying to push her away he CANNOT leave her be omggggggg. Please. The next preview is so much happier. The real healing begins. Sang Tae will learn to let more people in, and maybe Kang Tae and Moon Young can be happy? Omg pleaaaaaase. I feel better now that I've seen the preview.
MY: 'What in the world have I done?' Is that what you're thinking right now?
KT: No, not at all.
MY: You'd better not be thinking that. You impressed me by punching that guy and even asked me to take you on a trip. Don't tell me you're starting to regret it.
KT: No, of course not. I'm not regretting it. *nervous laugh*
MY: Then let's go to Serengeti.
KT: I don't have a passport.
MY: Are you from outer space? (Ha, good reference to My Love From the Star.) Who doesn't have a passport these days?
KT: Me, I don't. (Same, Kang Tae. I've never left my country, either. I want to though!)
Omg the speeding the car demanding about do you want to go for a day or spend the night with me? Do you want to spend the night with me or die with me? Omg Moon Young you are just too much sometimes.
MY: Who says I'm joking around?
KT: Please. At least count to three before you do anything impulsive.
MY: Did you count to three before you punched that guy?
OMG NO DON'T SEPARATE. Ok I know they don't because the preview showed them together more. Aw Jae Su saying "You're so strange these days." Psycho virus hehehe. But then he just tells him "I want to have fun." AND SAYS SERENGETI. D'AW.
O M G doctor saying. "It's just like when you fart. If you hold it in 99 times and finally let it out, it could kill people."
And Joo Ri's mom being like yeah I rejected him three times. 시러! 시러! 시러!
Awww A Reum leaving and Jeong-Tae being so upset.
Awww Jae Su saying sure before Kang Tae even finishes his sentence asking for a favor. I nominate Jae Su "Best Best Friend" in a kdrama. And Moon Young trying to convince Sang Tae she and him are best friends. Aw and Kang Tae actually grabbing HER this time "Can we talk?" Yes, please!
KT: Are we not going anywhere tomorrow?
MY: Did you overreact like that earlier to have fun for just one day?
KT: One day is more than enough for me. I dreamt of that day my entire life.
MY: You're so annoying.
KT: So are we going tomorrow?
MY: Sometimes, you're a like a tamer, not a caregiver.
KT: "A tamer"?
MY: I feel like you're taming me.
KT: I think it's the opposite. I keep doing things I wouldn't normally do because of you. Earlier, I couldn't hear or see anything. I must have been out of my mind. I really couldn't hold my anger.
MY: No, you weren't out of your mind. You were stunning.
OMG HE WENT IN FOR THE KISSSSSSSSSS. Damn deer. You're ruining things!
Seung Jae telling Joo Ri "I would never do something so dumb. It's such a waste of time." (to be in a one-sided love) I love her. I mean he has plenty to offer, though. A GOOD HEART AND KIND SOUL?! What else do you need in a man? I mean wow. Seung Jae saying Joo Ri needs to be with an older, laid back, broad-minded businessman. Hmmmm. Haha. Who could THAT be? *camera pans to Mr Lee ㅎㅎㅎ*
Kang Tae really keeps thinking he's crazy. NO BABY LIKE BEYONCÉ SAID IT'S JUST CRAZY IN LOVE. Omg they both can't sleep. " He shouldn't have held back his desire either."
Looks it's THE song the show is named after. We need a remix of this or something. Like straight up.
Sang Tae being so worked up over Moon Young claiming to be his bestie. REALLY hope this doesn't turn things sour.
"Everyone got fooled by that woman. She had the face of an angel. But there lives a demon inside." Ok dude but that's your wife not your daughter. Don't go around choking Moon Young or we're gonna have PROBLEMS. Is Park Ok Ran the mom? Hmmmmm.
MOON YOUNG YOU ARE TOO MUCH, I LOVE YOU.
KT: Are you doing a circus show?
MY: Are you running away?
KT: I mean...can't you wear something comfortable.
MY: I feel comfortable naked.
KT: Don't you have anything normal?
MY: I don't want to look normal.
KT: Why not?
MY: Because it's normal.
Cracking me up her just chucking his provisions. "Are we evacuating?" He's a thoughtful and prepared man. WATCH THEM NEED A BANDAGE LATER AND SHE THREW IT OUT. I will never be over how she gets all up in his personal space. And the doctor already done been known about the ~date with Ms. Go~. Smart man. And the breakdown of wearing clothes as protection. The clothes are Moon Young's armor. "So you should do a good job of protecting her."
Omg Moon Young grilling Sang Tae. I gave you Mang Tae. You can't have Gang Tae. ㅠㅠ
MY: Do you know the story called King Donkey Ears?
ST: Yes, the guy goes into the bamboo forest and shouts, 'The king has donkey ears!'
MY: Yes, that's right. If you keep a secret to yourself, you end up getting frustrated. You need to tell someone in order to relieve your stress.
"But just in case I wanted to ask you to protect Ms. Go and be there for her." Checkity check, not a problem.
Seriously though, Sang Tae just laying it out. "What kind of part timer wants to hang out with his boss at his place?" I'm laughing. Jae Su is so crushed.
MY: Is this the deviation you've been dreaming of? Are we going to tie a rope around our ankle and jump or something?
KT: Shall we? Let's go.
MY: No.
KT: Why not?
MY: I'm scared.
KT: *laughs big beautiful smile*
MY: Why are you laughing?
KT: Well...hearing you say the word, "scared"--
MY: You think it's funny? Do you think it'll be fun to cross this stupid bridge?
KT: I just wanted to come up high and enjoy and open view. I can't come here with Sang Tae.
Moon Young trying to scam a piggyback ride out of him and failing. Aw why won't he just hold her hand in the very least?! C'mon boy. Aw, the picture taking. 'I told you to smile, not cry.' Awwww A Reum and Jeong Tae meeting up for a love rendezvous. Just let them have their night, Kang Tae! Oh she was holding his hand, you can't see it behind the bushes much.
"Your rationality can never win against your desires". Literally preaching from a mountain, O Wise Moon Young.
She's trying to get him to say the night. "I've been suspended from work so I refuse to work." Quit wiggling out of it, Kang Tae! But then his little sigh. What will they doooooo.
Seung Jae is one smart cookie but also making it awkward for everyone. ㅎㅎㅎ Mr. Lee reaally likes Joo Ri, huh. She's just so blinded by her useless one sided love for Kang Tae. And Mr. Lee saying he's stuck to Moon Young because he doesn't want her to be lonely. Good guy. "There can be countless reasons as to why we fall for someone. For example, you might fall for how pretty they look when they cry. Or you might fall for them when they get drunk and swear at you. Or it might be when they unexpectedly slap you in the face. Mr. Moon must've also found some kind of reason to fall for Moon Young." Mr. Lee basically confessing right there to Joo Ri.
Oh boy the call telling Sang Tae he won't be back tonight. Call me if you get bored. Oh he can't be bored.
MY: Oh, I've seen that face on TV dramas.
KT: What do you mean?
MY: The face of a man who is cheating on his wife. I don't want to be a mistress. I want to be a faithful wife.
KT: But those two can't be best friends, can they? Sang Tae was happy about being best friends with you.
MY: Well, I'm also fond of your brother. He's cute.
KT: There was something my mom wished for her whole life. Seeing Sang Tae with a friend. A real friend who truly understands him. Just one.
MY: I had a friend like that a long time ago as well. A friend who understands me.
Look are Joo Ri trying. Why did people pick on her? Moon Young and her were friends as kids? And all because Moon Young just couldn't share? She wanted Joo Ri all to herself? Hmm. But Moon Young saying I have you now. OMG IT'S BOOZE. But good thing Jeong Tae spit it out. But Kang Tae is going to be tipsy. AND THINGS WILL GET BAD AHEM I MEAN GOOD. YEAH.
MY: I see that you smile a lot like an idiot when you're drunk.
KT: I have fun when I'm with you. I keep on smiling.
MY: This won't do.
KT: What do you mean?
MY: *attempts to glomp*
KT: *attempts to abscond*
Omg ok I mean I don't want their first kiss to be when he's drunk but this is so cute. And A Reum and Jeong Tae sitting there.
AR: Who's more in love?
JT: The one who's more patient.
AR: Why?
JT: Because love is all about patience.
So sweet. And KANG TAE PINNING HER TO THE GROUND ON TOP OF HER OH MY. And she keeps trying to kiss him and he's just desperately hugging her and saying just sleep so she won't awwww.
MY: I heard you can fall asleep easily when someone caresses your hair.
And then he caresses her hair. Omg though the flaming desire underneath. "I told you that I can no longer hold myself back." THEN DON'T. "I guess I can't run away anymore." NOPE.
MY: Where were you?
KT: Well...to get what I couldn't give you last time.
MY: What?
KT: Don't trample on them this time.
MY: They're beautiful.
KT: So are you.
O M G AND HE PICKED THE LITTLE FLOWERSSSS LIKE WHEN THEY WERE KIDS!!!! OMG I'M DYING. THEY FINALLY KISSSSSSSSSED OMG. IT WAS SUCH A LITTLE PRECIOUS PECK, THOUGH. I HOPE THEY GET HOT AND HEAVY NEXT TIME. And the way it flashes to little Moon Young holding the flowers and their hand holding back.
Aw, Jeong Tae is the patient love. "Running away like this will turn our love into nothing but a petty and cowardly act." He wants to be well from his alcoholism to care for her happiness. It's so sad but I really hope they get through it and can reunite.
MY: Is he a fool? Why let her go if he loves her?
KT: Because he loves her a lot. Sometimes, that's why you must let someone go.
MY: So they broke up because they love each other? That's complete bullshit. I will never let you go.
KT: Don't be so sure of it. You never know what could happen.
Please don't be foreshadowing Moon Young and Kang Tae, though. I mean who are we kidding this is a kdrama. BUT REALLY. Omg. We going to die ten times over from whatever upcoming obstacles they face end up being. Well Moon Young turned off his phone I think, and now Kang Tae is lying to Sang Tae BUT. BUT. It will be ok. We'll get through this, y'all.
Omg dude. They've literally only been on one date stop creating a scandalous rumor!!! OH FACK SANG TAE HEARD. I mean that question of who do you like more. You can't compare brotherly love with romantic love. He loves them both the most. And Sang Tae fixating on the "I wish you were dead" thing he did as kids. That's him letting the secret out. It's his King Donkey Ears moment. Kant Tae was a child! Of course he didn't mean it. OH FECKING FACK. I wish we'd seen Moon Young go to him. Why does it end there?!?!?! I'm so glad we have tomorrow's ep tomorrow.
For now I still am rubbed the wrong way by his character. He seems so petty and only goes down a route if it suits him. Maybe he'll change. But regardless of who the father is I still like Yeon Woo the most in regards to romantic prospects.
She gave him her car keys hee. "Come and spend time with me." Really the shorter hair makes her much more innocent and inviting. Only he can cut her hair. "I don't like it when other people touch me. But you're an exception. Only you can touch me."
"She's dead. But she's here." Is he hallucinating, is the mom really there, is he seeing Moon Young as Moon Young's mom.
Haha, I am still tickled about the later comment being "sometime before you die."
I love how she asks Mr. Lee does he like Joo Ri. Well he must. But also he's not an ugly man. I mean yes I personally like Kang Tae's face more but Mr. Lee isn't ugly.
Omg he's reminiscing about her prettiness. Uh oh. Boy you in trouble. "I must be crazy." Nope, just falling in love!
What do you want. He wants Moon Young's classes back? He is doing something for her. The minute she hears Kang Tae's name she's like ok I'm coming!
Kang Tae's emotional eating of the jjamppong. OMG I'm dying. He's sad but then laughing because Sang Tae legit just said it makes your butthole hurt the next day. I love it when you cry laugh. OMG THE PARALLEL OF THE UMBRELLA MOMENT FOR MOON YOUNG AND BABY KANG TAE. I really wanted Kang Tae to turn around then. But at least she linked arms with him and he didn't make her stop immediately? I think she grabs his wrist or hand, too. And he let her? (!)
Ok how hot was it when Kang Tae's stare went intense when that guy in the coffee shop walked up to Moon Young. I love it. AND HE WAS ACTUALLY MAD SHE DIDN'T TELL THAT GUY HE WAS HER BOYFRIEND I THINK. Omg he's so possessive, I love it. I'm sorry, usually I don't like it but for Kang Tae I do because he needs to learn to be selfish for once. I knew she did that just to get that calligraphy pen. I love it, I LOVE IT. But also she did kind of set the stage to get Kang Tae riled a bit.
Haaaaaa, getting Mr. Lee to live in the Joo Ri's place. That's one way to get her to not be a bitch, as he said. And give up on Kang Tae. It's better for her character, in my opinion.
Uh oh. Is Sang Tae that upset about Moon Young and Kang Tae's budding relationship? Is is jealous because he likes Moon Young or LIKES her?
I LOVE HOW MAD KANG TAE IS. He wouldn't be this mad if he wasn't seriously falling for Moon Young. He got so flustered and hot he took off his second shirt. I need to fan MYSELF over that.
Aw how sweet is it about the two patients trying to secretly date. At least he asks to kiss her. But then the other guy takes a nap. (Do people fall asleep that fast? I could never, wow I'm jealous.) And Kang Tae catching them sneaking out. Love is not a sin, aw. That's sad.
Aw, uh oh. Sang Tae's jealous about Mang Tae. "I never gave him up for adoption." Oh nooooo now you've ripped him! Omg her nose is bleeding, though! All the feathers, though. And now Kang Tae has to figure out how to appease them both.
KT: You know that Mang Tae can't catch the butterflies anyway.
ST: Mang Tae can't catch the butterflies.
KT: What did you say? I can't really hear you.
ST: *opens doors* He's of no use if he can't catch the butterflies.
KT: Exactly. You shoved it into the drawer and forgot about it, so I gave it to Ms. Go. I'm sorry I didn't ask for your permission first. But when you don't need something, it's nice to offer it to someone who needs it.
ST: "Offer?"
KT: Yes, that's right.
ST: But...if I give all my stuff to people who need them, what about me? What will I have left?
KT: You will always have me. Forget Mang Tae. You have Kang Tae.
St: Ms Go. is alone, so she needs Mang Tae.
KT: Then will you let her have Mang Tae?
ST: Yes, she can have it. She can have Mang Tae, not Kang Tae. She can have Mang Tae, not Kang Tae.
KT: Yes. She can have Mang Tae, not Kang Tae.
ST: Yes, she can take him.
UH OH. I already know it. He's not going to be able to handle Kang Tae and Moon Young growing closer. This is going to get so emotional and messy before it gets better.
MY: I can't sleep because I'm fuming mad. What did I do wrong?
KT: Sang Tae said you could have him. Mang Tae. Mang Tae is all yours now.
MY: Whatever. It was mine to begin with.
KT: Try to stay calm even when Sang Tae gets worked up.
MY: Don't give me orders,
KT: It's not an order. I'm asking you for a favor.
MY: But how can I suppress my anger and stay calm? Tell me. You're an expert at it. I saw you do it when I cut your hand with a knife. Even when that man grabbed your brother by the hair at the bookstore and when your brother beat the crap out of you on the floor. You just kept it all inside and let him beat you up. How do you do that?
KT: If I just suck it up, nothing will happen. If I let my emotions get the better of me without thinking about the consequences, Sang Tae and I wouldn't have this kind of relationship. Keeping it all inside an enduring it is the only way I can protect Sang Tae.
MY: I think that's why we're meant to be. You're patient and I'm volatile. Like a bomb and its safety pin. We go hand in hand. We're meant to be together.
KT: How many guys do you think you're meant to be with?
MY: What do you mean?
KT: Why don't you go ask your "handsome" fan?
MY: "Handsome"? Ah, you mean, this pen? What do you think? Isn't it so handsome? Just look at this shape. It's perfect. But you know, you're much more handsome than this pen. *blows his ear*
KT: *flustered* Gosh, what are you doing?
MY: So don't be jealous. *LAYS HEAD DOWN IN KANG TAE'S LAP*
KT: *lies* What? I'm not jealous.
MY: I'm sleepy.
KT: Go upstairs and sleep.
MY: I don't want to. Mang Tae is here. Relax, will you?
Omggggggggg this whole scene. Yesssssssssss. And he fixed the little Mang Tae and covers her up. My heart. And he sits there and takes her hand briefly while she sleeps. Boy has never gotten to know love and he's like a little baby bird learning to fly, learning to love, flapping his little love wings.
Jae Su shaving Mr. Lee's mustaches and their spat is too funny. Cracking up that Joo Ri said he looked better with the mustache. And I'm sensing a love line between Jae Su and Seung Jae? I like Joo Ri's mom pushing Mr. Lee for her. She doesn't need to be continuously latched to Kang Tae who will never love her.
I love Sang Tae and Moon Young pestering Kang Tae at the same time. Sang Tae about Moon Young's hair and Moon Young about Joo Ri. Hehehe.
KT: Stop talking nonsense.
MY: Then why did you unlink my arm?
KT: Why should I link arms with you?
MY: Because we go hand in hand.
KT: Let go.
MY: The bomb needs its safety pin.
And Sang Tae in-between. He's nooooot going to like their continual growing closeness. I sense this blowing up more.
The doctor telling Moon Young that Kang Tae threatened that he wouldn't do anything the doc told him until Moon Young's classes were reinstated. Heeee. "He glared at me and gave me an ultimatum." " I guess he wants to see you even when he's working."
I like that Kang Tae didn't tell on the two lovebird patients...yet, anyway. And I hope it doesn't backlash. I feel like we're due for a couple of really gut wrenching scenes. More so than any we've had before. The patient saying that he'll try to follow the rules and be with the girl he likes after they're discharged...
"But to be honest, it's hard. Unlike you, I'm not that patient. It'd be better if I never saw her. I see her every day, and it's really driving me crazy. I tell myself to just never look at her. But I keep thinking about her even when I close my eyes. Then when I see her, I want to touch her. Whenever I see her smile with another guy, I get so pissed off. My head keeps saying I shouldn't, but I can't stop looking at her. And my heart can only follow my eyes. It's really driving me crazy. "
KANG TAE THINKING ABOUT MOON YOUNG AS HE SAYS THIS. Boy realizing he's in deep now.
MY: Beauty and the Beast is a story about Stockholm Syndrome. The Beast lives alone in the castle because of a curse. He holds a lady named Belle hostage in the castle and grooms this victim of his. That's what the story is about.
PW: Isn't it about a kindhearted lady being locked in a castle instead of her father and helping the Beast remove the curse on him because she falls in love with him?
MY: The Beast is usually selfish and harsh on Belle. So doing something nice once in a blue moon and gazing at her with a faint smile on his face was enough to move the naive lady, Belle. 'Ah. The Beast is lonely. I should embrace him with my love. Only I can change him.'"
PW: But Belle was being delusional.
MY: Correct."
AR: No! Beauty and the Beast isn't some crude story about the Beast grooming his victim.
MY: Then what is it?
AR: The Beast turns into a prince because of the power of Belle's true love. Belle's love calmed the Beast's violet nature. That love embraced his wounded soul. The greatest thing anyone can do as a human being. It's...pure love.
Moon Young is the Beast and Kang Tae is Belle!
Moon Young throwing that can at his face "OH MY, I THOUGH YOU WERE THE TRASH CAN." S A V A G E. Omg and he hits her and and Kang Tae comes up and full on punches the dude in retaliation. And he was going to do more. He really got held up in the moment all from seeing Moon Young get hit, though. Wow. And he helps Moon Young up. My heart flutters. She had a rock in her hand, though. But she didn't need to use it because he stepped in first. And he's taking the punishment for the action. And he's never really had to do that. His coworker being dumbfounded about it, too.
"It wasn't a mistake." Yeah because he truly wanted to hit that dude who hit Moon Young. It's simple math, y'all. Who lets a woman get hit?! AND HE WAS SMILING. HEE. He's not even mad tho. AND RUNNING OVER TO THE CAR FULL ON SMILING TO MOON YOUNG. LIKE A LITTLE HAPPY BOY IN LOVE. FLAP YOUR LITTLE LOVE WINGS. FLY, BOY, FLY!
"You said before you'll run away with me whenever I want. I want to go on a trip with you. Right now. Let's go." HAND HOLDINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! SMILES!!!!!!!!!
