This week is all about parental drama and outdated wounds that proceed to inflict ache on everybody. However these concerned have had sufficient of a sure father disregarding his son’s – and everybody else’s – emotions in favor of drowning in his personal grief. For the sake of the subsequent era, it’s time to maneuver on and cease residing previously.
EPISODES 13-14
Sang-tae continues to make the youthful era endure for no good purpose, leaving Yong-pil and Sam-dal heartbroken once more when he berates Sam-dal for returning as if he owns all the city. Yong-pil is distraught over studying that his father compelled The Breakup eight years in the past, however at the least everybody is aware of the reality now. Sam-dal has been in love with him this entire time too – it’s solely his dad’s anger that has ever stood in the way in which.
It’s ridiculous how Sang-tae is so egocentric as to decide on his unjustified anger over his son whereas appearing just like the sufferer. (Who’s the kid right here?) Fortunate for him, he has a sort son who nonetheless cares about profitable him over and refuses to surrender on him.
Mi-ja is over letting the children endure for his or her grudges and absolutely helps Sam-dal and Yong-pil’s relationship. She confronts Sang-tae, asking him to direct all his anger at her and let Yong-pil and Sam-dal be glad. Then, she lastly begins asserting herself. She makes herself at dwelling in his kitchen to cook dinner him and Yong-pil breakfast, declares that Yong-pil is her son too, and yells that she is going to now not act like a felony and damage their youngsters. What would Bu Mi-ja consider this? It’s so satisfying to observe Sang-tae get flustered nobody is catering to his nonsense anymore.
Even Sam-dal’s dad will get concerned, letting out his anger at how Sang-tae has selfishly ignored everybody else’s, even his son’s, struggling for years. Sadly, the boys resort to bodily combating relatively than speaking like grownups. On the plus aspect, at the least nobody is holding their emotions in anymore.
At first, Sam-dal is able to name it quits once more with Yong-pil over his father’s ire. However after realizing that Yong-pil steadfastly attended her exhibitions all through the years, Sam-dal caves and is able to be with him no matter what his father thinks. So they comply with be collectively and determine it out, irrespective of who opposes. Now that the whole lot is out within the open, they’re lastly speaking about their emotions and relationship actually, which is good.
Though it’s apparent to everybody that Yong-pil and Sam-dal are in love and certain collectively, Sang-do nonetheless can’t carry himself to admit or hand over. He roughly explains his state of affairs to Sam-dal – leaving out, in fact, that she’s the woman he likes – and she or he encourages him to surrender. From her private expertise, it’s higher to not take the painful route of affection from afar. And now, he lastly appears able to let go, realizing that he has no likelihood of coming between her and Yong-pil.
Sam-dal’s sisters are thrilled after they study Sam-dal and Yong-pil are again collectively. I really like the siblings and the way supportive they’re of one another – their relationship is without doubt one of the finest components of the drama. Talking of sisters, Hae-dal and Ji-chan develop nearer via Ha-yul’s new fascination with dolphins. Hae-dal shares that she was on her approach to changing into knowledgeable swimmer earlier than she obtained pregnant. However she’s not resentful or upset about it – she simply modified her dream to motherhood. Though she might be immature as a mother, it’s good to see how a lot she loves Ha-yul and actually enjoys spending time along with her.
In the meantime, Jin-dal finds herself on the outs along with her mother over the theme park, particularly after she fraudulently votes “sure” on Mi-ja’s behalf to resolve if the city will enable the park to be constructed. Mi-ja is furious and stands her floor even when Jin-dal says it’s all to cease her from diving. It’s little Ha-yul who will get via and offers Mi-ja pause when she says she’s afraid the ocean goes to take her prefer it took the opposite Mi-ja.
Regardless of all that drama, the theme park may not even occur. Dae-young’s father discovered what’s he’s as much as and minimize him off. So now, Dae-young has to go persuade his father that the park being in Samdal-ri is an effective enterprise resolution. Given his observe report together with his household, that may require a miracle. It’s Ji-chan who affords a possible backup plan if Mi-ja insists on diving and so they can’t cease her: what if Hae-dal, the ex-athlete swimmer, have been to go diving along with her mother to maintain her protected? Hae-dal has by no means thought-about changing into a haenyeo, however you’ll be able to see her wheels turning.
In different information, Sam-dal’s assistants make a shock go to to Jeju after she talked about her exhibition. As luck would have it, they present up proper when Sam-dal and Yong-pil are headed for a romantic tenting journey to take photographs. Yong-pil is grumpy concerning the intrusion, however he can inform how a lot these loyal assistants imply to Sam-dal.
After they return, Yong-pil realizes his father went to remain on the temple that serves as his spouse’s resting place. Yong-pil is disillusioned and damage that his father as soon as once more is prioritizing his deceased spouse over him, so Sam-dal takes motion. She visits the temple to speak to Sang-tae, sharing her personal emotions. His change from somebody who cared drastically for her to somebody who resented her broke her coronary heart, however she’s by no means resented him. She’ll watch for him by Yong-pil’s aspect.
Sam-dal unwittingly echoes Sang-tae’s personal phrases to Mi-ja after they have been younger, vowing that she’ll love Yong-pil perpetually till the day she dies. And miracle of miracles, she will get via to him. Yong-pil arrives as Sang-tae says with a smile (the person can smile!) that they’ve his blessing. Thank goodness! I used to be frightened we’d drag this on into the finale week, and I’m unsure how far more of that I may take.
However worry not, we’ve obtained one other irritating villain stuffed with inexplicable quantities of hate to fill the void. In an epilogue, backstabbing Eun-joo cooks up extra bother as a result of she’s bitter and hates anybody extra proficient than her. She sees Sam-dal is doing the Jeju exhibition and calls a reporter, doubtless making an attempt to fire up the controversy once more.
I actually thought we is likely to be performed along with her, however alas, the villainess returns. There’s sufficient left to wrap up with out all this added last-minute drama: we’ve obtained the sister’s tales, Mi-ja’s diving state of affairs, Sam-dal’s profession, and our couple who has barely had a second to themselves since getting again collectively. I suppose that each one isn’t thrilling sufficient, so now we’ll must cope with the virtually cartoonishly evil Eun-joo as soon as once more. Sam-dal and Yong-pil actually can not catch a break.
