by Dramaddictally
Contentment and confessions await our hero this week however he additionally has to face the ache of the previous when his old flame comes calling. Chock stuffed with charming scenes between our leads, the drama slows the tempo much more so we are able to savor all of the serenity, and grapple with some stunning life classes on loss.
EPISODES 9-10
Final week, Mo-eun’s dad and mom met Jin-woo for the primary time and we noticed that that they had a response, however we had been saved from the dialog that adopted. This week, we’re stuffed in on the aftermath between Mo-eun and her dad and mom, the place Mother (Kim Mi-kyung) is anxious for her future and Dad (Kang Shin-il) has a glance of outright disgust.
However when it comes proper all the way down to it — and Mo-eun explains she simply needs to stay her life with out regrets — her dad and mom are supportive (I’m so comfortable we skipped the same old parental drama right here). They might not agree along with her path however they gained’t go in opposition to it. Mo-eun is afraid of disappointing them but in addition courageous in her actions to do what she needs. And we get a great signal a lot afterward when Mother asks if she ought to pack Jin-woo some kimchi — so, I believe she’s coming round already.
To choose up on final week’s bullying thread, Jin-woo will get a brand new scholar in his artwork class, and it’s the boy who was being bullied, AHN TAE-HO (Han Hyun-joon). Tae-ho can hear advantageous, and doesn’t know any signal language, however needs to hitch Jin-woo’s class as a result of he feels impressed by his life story.
We be taught that Tae-ho dropped his pockets throughout the combat final week and when Mo-eun despatched it again to him, she included an interview with Jin-woo about his life and profession. Tae-ho examine how Jin-woo went to a daily college and was the one one who couldn’t hear, and so, now Tae-ho would be the just one who can hear within the artwork class. It’s an fascinating dynamic once we see the scholars work together as a result of the tables are turned. The listening to scholar seems like a nuisance to the remaining, slowing them down once they must translate from signal language to writing.
When Jin-woo asks Mo-eun how Tae-ho ended up with the interview in his palms, she says she hates it when individuals misunderstand Jin-woo, in order that’s why she despatched it. They’ve certainly one of their candy moments, on a park bench, holding the yellow scarf that first led them to satisfy one another that day on the seaside in Jeju.
At his studio, they’ve one other quiet and wonderful second when Mo-eun tells Jin-woo that Website positioning-kyung is thinking about his work and he ought to use that curiosity to have his personal exhibition. He sits her down and says he has one thing to inform her. Then he lets out the reality that he and Website positioning-kyung “had been in a relationship for fairly some time.” Mo-eun admits she already knew (she pieced it collectively when she came across some previous letters), however she was ready for him to say one thing to her. There’s no drama right here, simply two individuals being trustworthy. And their ardour is captured so nicely with Jin-woo turning up all his allure.
Afterward, he tells her about his fears. He’s hated having emotions for anybody as a result of he fears he can’t assist them. He gained’t have the ability to shield Mo-eun when she’s at risk. Mo-eun responds that he doesn’t have to guard her, she simply needs to be with him. After which she says she loves him. He will get misty-eyed, as he typically does along with her, and so they hug to seal their emotions for one another.
In the meantime, Website positioning-kyung will get affirmation that Jin-woo is the mural artist she’s been in search of and we see extra flashbacks of their time collectively as a pair. I can’t recover from how lovable and in love they had been, making their breakup all of the extra mysterious. We nonetheless solely have bits and items to grasp what actually occurred between them. However we all know that Website positioning-kyung left to stay overseas in some unspecified time in the future afterward, and this week we be taught that Jin-woo disappeared for seven years following the trauma of all of it.
Jin-woo tells Mo-eun that he has no work previous to 2013 as a result of he was residing in an deserted delivery container earlier than that. All he did was draw, sleep, and draw some extra for seven years. Then in the future, the container flooded and he misplaced all his work. However, he says, considering that he misplaced every thing really made him really feel comfortable. “Even the work I made weren’t mine. I spotted that there was nothing I might hold endlessly.” It consoled him.
Earlier than that, he felt that his household, his listening to, and the individuals he cherished had been taken from him. He was unhappy for a very long time. However when he accepted that they weren’t his to maintain within the first place, he might get again up. I simply love this dialog and his philosophy on loss. Jin-woo has gone via lots in his life, already realized a lot, and now we see him sharing these issues with Mo-eun and pushing forward into new and scary territory.
Finally, Jin-woo will get up the braveness to have a solo exhibition due to Mo-eun’s variety phrases. It’s thrilling, however it additionally implies that Jin-woo and Website positioning-kyung are working extra intently collectively and Mo-eun turns into a bit insecure about it. I get the sensation that Mo-eun appears to be like as much as Website positioning-kyung in a method — since she’s highly effective however good-hearted — and Mo-eun additionally needs Jin-woo to succeed, however she’s intimidated by the deep bond he as soon as shared with Website positioning-kyung.
When Website positioning-kyung learns that Jin-woo disappeared for seven years after she left, we are able to see how unhealthy she feels about it. The 2 run into one another on the artwork gallery after hours and Website positioning-kyung apologizes for leaving him alone like she did. She needs she might say she’s sorry to the Jin-woo she knew again then, however she realizes he may not exist anymore. It’s a very painful scene and the actors’ faces say all of it. However we’ll have to attend till subsequent week to see how Jin-woo responds.
These episodes felt slower to me than the earlier weeks, however the moments between Jin-woo and Mo-eun hit so nicely that I imagine each second of their story. They appear like actual individuals, attending to know one another naturally, in a method that is sensible. And the identical goes for Jin-woo and Website positioning-kyung. There’s no evil right here. They’re simply individuals, utilizing their finest defenses to outlive robust occasions. And it hurts as a result of the ache remains to be so current. Even when it seems like nothing a lot is occurring, this drama has me hooked to see what’s subsequent.
We nonetheless have some mysteries to unravel concerning the fireplace and the ultimate moments between Jin-woo and Website positioning-kyung, however the extra fascinating half is how they’ll resolve their emotions. I get why Mo-eun is insecure about their relationship and seeing them work collectively. However we all know Jin-woo has already grown a lot. Seeing Website positioning-kyung now could be a approach to get full closure on the previous, so he and Mo-eun can transfer on with their calm, quiet, and love-filled life.
