Personally, someone annoys me, i block them. I have enough annoying social interactions at work, I'm here to chill and not get bothered. But it's also not that easy to truly annoy me so π
cunning nature that steals all hearts with playful schemes.
When faced with the horrific reality of gruesome war
She had to quickly mature and save people she cared for.
Mysterious identity, playful demeanor and great rizz
Whole package of charms that can make any lady his
A man who would stop the war for the love of his life.
Desperately trying to survive and make her his wife.
Proper education, proper attitude and proper relations.
Constantly driven by indoctrinated patriotic foundations.
Always in need to prove his worth and loyalty
Leaving his people behind to save the royalty.
Raised to be good natured , perceptive, caring and kind
She sees other people's value, rumors don't make her blind.
Victim of the unjust social norms and the expectations of purity
Seeking in Gil Chae sisterhood, support and security.
Look at me being a poet π€‘π€‘π
As for the messages and trying to find out if she is fine - that I disagree with to some extend,. Trying to get any info about her or get her message could get her in danger. Jang Hyun has a lot of enemies and people who want to use him, so risking them finding out about Gil Chae and how dear to his heart he is, not smart move...
As for what Rayng Eum did - whenever Gil Chae and Jang Hyun stay together is THEIR choice to make. Gil Chae talking into consideration her family while making choice about HER RELATIONBSHIP, is not the same as Ryang Eum making choice FOR Jang Hyun and Gil Chae, about THEIR relationship. Ryang Eum had NOT PLACE to make any decisions. At best he could give Jang Hyun his point of view and let Jang Hyun make that choice.
2. NOT ONCE did we see him with another woman, although he has a reputation. < in episode 2 we see how he behaved before he met her and how he tried to have casual relationship with noble ladies. Just because he changed after meeting FL, does not change the fact he was a playboy when she first met him and he kept that teasing, flirting playboy persona when interact with her for a long time.
3. It's not like he made it easy for people to get to know him. The only person who saw through his masks is Eun Ae, but only because she is overall extremely perceptive, way above average.
4. If ML wanted to stay with her, he could have stayed with her instead of making her make the choice for him (especially after he lectured Yeon Jun on how he makes the women around him make choice for him). He was sure she loves him, he was just annoyed he still had some lingering feelings for Yeon Jun. Like damn, he himself said leaving was mistake and now he faces the consequences of it.
The point is, both Gil Chae and Jang Hyun fucked up. The blame is on both sides. Every time she tried to be serious with him, he turned the situation into teasing and flirting. He said he did that because he was afraid if he gives in she would not be interested in him, which shows he completely does not understand Gil Chae as a person. On the other hand Gil Chae was really ignorant about her own feelings and did not try to understand herself at all. She was blind to her growing feelings for Jang Hyun because of her obsession over the idealistic vision of the future with Yeon Jun that she created years ago. The fact they did not end up together is the result of both of their actions and personally, trying to put blame on one side more than the other I find a bit funny.
I also think this episode rightfully focused on Gil Chae's love and care for her family, especially her father. Because at the end of the day, it was the reason she did not leave was her family. What she saw in the officer is someone who can take care and protect her family and after everything they all went thought, that was her priority. All the little things just added up. Her seeing him bring her father back home safe, her father telling him "I am relieved. I am truly relieved now that you are here".
I read some comments saying how can Gil Chae pick a man who lied to her about saving her and used her father to bring her back - well, bitch does not know that, does she? π€‘ Jang Hyun himself denied saving her on the island so she has exactly zero reasons not to believe the officer when he says he did. And she did not know he used her father to get her. The father already left the house once and they had to look for him.
"When I smile man think I will become a sweet wife. When they see that I am caring, they think I would make a good daughter-in-law. Even if they see my brazen side, they believe I will change once I become a married woman. But I will not change. Many man like my smile, but none of them likes my cantankerous side. But you see, that is also a part of me. I cannot only take some things and leave to others behind." This. I love Gil Chae so much! I somehow also think it's yet another hint on why she stayed. She just cannot give up her friends and family for her own good. The same way she did not leave Eun Ae and her pregnant maid, even though escaping without them or leaving them behind would make her survival chances higher, the same way now she cannot abandon her family to escape with Jang Hyun. She was selfish and egocentric during the good times, but she is selfless and caring during the difficult times.
I would have so much more sympathy for Ryang Eum if he was not a dick about Gil Chae and Jang Hyun from the start. But he was selfish about it from start to finish and I'm so done with this child lol Or maybe if his characters was more than a gay puppy in love with the man who saved him, but he truly does not exist in this show outside of his relationship with Jang Hyun. Maybe it will change in part two I hope π I get him being pissed when she heard Gil Chae is about to marry other guy, I get him hating her in that moment for not waiting for Jang Hyun, since Ryang Eum knows how much Jang Hyun suffered for her. But you could see poison in his eyes from the fucking moment he met her π€‘
To be honestly, Jang Hyun kind of annoyed me in the first half of this episode. Leaving for around 1-2 years (looking at the age of the kid) and now so sure she was waiting for him and be so glad the one and only Jang Hyun is back. I don't know, I'm reminded how he lectured Yeon Jun about leaving the king and staying to protect Eun Ae, and then he himself leaves Gil Chae for two years because she could not just stop caring for Yeon Jun exact moment he asked her to. If he was so sure of her feelings for him that he is confident she waited and will welcome him with open arms, why the fuck he left?
I think one of the reason I love the show so much and I was not angry with how part 1 ended is the fact I love and I appreciate both Jang Hyun and Gil Chae as individual characters outside of their romance. Some of their best scenes had nothing to do with each other or the romance. A lot of the complaints about the show and the ending is just "romance did not work out" and I find if sad... the fact all the other amazing aspects of the show are reduced for some viewers to the filler background noise.
Jang Hyun imagining his meeting with Gil Chae again kind of shows he failed to see the change in her that the war caused. Damn in that imagination she seems exactly as she was in episode one - naive, bubbly, a bit dumb π
Jang Hyun thinks he did well telling her it was him who saved her on the island, but it's so not. It's just proves to her how she can never be sure if what he says is true or not, how his words are not reliable. Honestly, I would laugh through tears if I was Gil Chae in that moment and the fact he lied in the past would make me resent him just a little bit.
Damn both of their timing sucks. She was too late giving up Yeon Jun, and he was too late being sincere with her about his feelings. and now they are in this shit. Also... maybe it's a translation issue, but I'm not sure how I feel about him saying he needs to "claim her" π€‘
Jang Hyun's issue here is the fact he COMPLETELY ignores and does not address the fact she has a family and she is basically the head of it now. Him addressing it and maybe trying to come up with a plan how to make their lives good would do wonders in this situation. For Jang Hyun it's just him and Gil Chae that are involved, while for Gil Chae it's her, him and her family that will face the consequences of her actions.
Okay so a lot of people are pissed about how "cruel" her letter for him was, but I think she basically did it for him. Was it dumb, yes. But around half way through the episode he told her that if she does not have feelings for him, if she honestly think she can be happy with another man, if she honestly want to be with other man than him, he will leave her and would not yearn for her not have regrets. And that's why I think she was so cruel, because she wanted him to let her go, forget and not have any regrets.
