What he doesn’t realize is how much he admires her for that, and how much he nomu nomu nomu nomu wants to be able to do that himself. At the memorial, when she started doing the shots, and gathering steam, he anticipated her blow up with glee. I’m really looking forward to learning more about these characters and their motivations, especially for the side characters like YeoReum and HyunHee. Except for HoonDong and his mother, the characters all seem to have a lot of depths left to plumb. I was wondering why dramabeans doesn’t do the recap, but finally you do. Viki occasionally tells me that a video isn’t available in my area too, but after a refresh or two, it works .<\/p>\n
Jang-mi\u2019s mother waits for her surgery, and she\u2019s the only patient in the room who is alone. She sighs at all the other ladies who have husbands, boyfriends, and sons to support them, but pretends disinterest when her own husband shows up. She texts him to leave but he says he can\u2019t read it, because he smashed his cell phone in anger and he wants to talk to her face-to-face. Spending time alone is healthy, even when you’re married. However, if you find yourself avoiding spending time with your partner or even making up excuses not to be with them, there are likely deeper reasons you feel this way.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no answer when she knocks, so Jang-mi lets herself in and creeeeps through the apartment, Ki-tae\u2019s admonishment of her boundary-crossing echoing in her head. She calls out that she\u2019s sorry, but she was worried because she once almost died alone at home when she was five, which explains her fear of being alone. Ki-tae spends 48 hours locked in the bathroom, reading, exercising, and fighting boredom. He weakens and hallucinates his friends and family saying how tired they are of him, knowing none of them will come and rescue him. For a moment he perks up thinking of Jang-mi, but remembers their fight and loses hope. He lies on the floor and passes out, just as we saw him at the top of the episode.<\/p>\n
It’s not a story of a woman fixing a tortured man, or a man rescuing a helpless girl, but a situation in which two people heal each other and learn about genuine companionship in the process. I completely agree with you, I just couldn’t quite put it into words so I didn’t write anything. But, yes I totally think that the actor’s smiling all the time actually suits what this character is supposed to be. He’s certainly very mysterious, and always seems to flicker between seeming genuine and fake. I actually think Yeo-Reum’s weird smiling is exactly that, weird. His character should be this flower boy\/ knight shining in armor 2nd lead we’re used to except he’s a bit shady and the oddness of him always smiling make one unnerve so I rather think it’s on purpose.<\/p>\n
I want her and Jang-mi to be best friends at the end of this show. For me, a drama is made or broken by its characters, and the characters are what this show does to perfection. All of them, from leads to secondary players, have many facets and layers that I think we\u2019re just starting to see in tiny glimpses. It\u2019s interesting to see how Ki-tae and Jang-mi are two sides of the same extreme coin \u2013 one mistaking solitude for happiness, and the other so afraid of solitude that she will be with anyone to avoid it.<\/p>\n
I think she has finally come to terms that she can’t coerce Ki-tae away from Jang-mi but that doesn’t mean that she’s back to being a supportive friend. That \u00abyou can’t see me\u00bb thing was a reference to John Cena, and I just love it when K-dramas make references to things I know and love here in the U.S. As for her mom, frankly, I don’t think she cares where Jang mi spends the night.<\/p>\n
