So, how was this episode for you? Those of you who are still on board this slow train.
This episode was a wow for me. Just… WOW. The dinner party from hell. The slow burn. Fury of Thwarted Grand Passion expressed through musical performance, which should have been cheesy but really wasn’t; rather, it was something unspeakable that stabbed me in the heart.
Again, nothing much actually happened. Nothing was particularly surprising. But I was just gripped and on the edge of my seat.
This will all end in tears. Surely. I don’t see how else it can otherwise stay true to its escalating sense of doom.
What I’m dying to know is ~what~ Sun Jae was just about to say to Hye Won (the cliff-hanger at the end of ep 14) He seems to have arrived at some emphatic conclusion or other – but what is it??
I’ve been thinking about this episode (as one does, with good tv), and how Da Mi whom we all expected to be the crazy ex-girlfriend who would tear Hye Won’s hair out, has become the voice of reason in such an amazingly realistic way. She’s still the same girl; we don’t feel there’s been a character switch. She’s just behaving in a way we didn’t expect, but not in a way that doesn’t make sense.
When she says that Hye Won is not a good person, you know what, she’s absolutely right. Any other tv character doing what Hye Won does (stealing money from janitors, selling her soul to mammon, fiddling money – very VERY bad things) would earn hate as the villain. Yet no viewer is wanting Hye Won to be destroyed. Because we have glimpsed her vulnerability and learned to love her as Sun Jae does. Which is how life is: The worst criminal can also be the best lover and friend. People are very complex. It’s really pretty amazing that this little drama can capture such insight and complexity.
Dami was a gangster but with SJ’s kind and love nature changed her life so does HW. I hated episode 14, it was expected , I wish SJ could handle better the situation . The acting was so great broke my heart in million pieces and made me feel depressed last week! Lol
