It’s Okay, It’s Love Episode 12

Hae-soo just blinks at Jae-yeol’s sudden marriage proposal, and she finally just starts misinterpreting his question in the hopes that she heard wrong. But nope, he meant what he said: “Let’s get married.”

She tries to pass the situation off lightly, and scoffs that he’d have a hard time if he found a woman who would say yes to a proposal like his. Obviously, she’s not that woman.

After Tae-yong breaks down into tears when Sunbae Jo tells him that Jae-yeol will need treatment, we find our couple at a bar where Yoon-chul and his schizophrenic wife work.

As usual, Jae-yeol is keenly interested in how Hye-jin has a successful relationship and career with her condition, which Hae-soo claims is perfectly healthy.

“Let’s get married,” Jae-yeol mentions again suddenly. Hae-soo asks him how he can ask it so lightly, to which he asks in return whether she’d like him to get a ring and turn the proposal into a production. That’s not what she wants, as she explains how she couldn’t handle being married right now, what with her family’s debt and her career.

Jae-yeol accepts her explanation at face value, and says it’s fine—they just won’t get married. Then Hae-soo gets upset that he dropped the matter so easily, but it’s clear that she’s deliberately antagonizing him because she seems to find it fun. Or something.

“I’m just wondering… How long do you think we’ll be happy like this?” she asks. “What would be the reason if we were to break up?” She brings up how it always happens in makjang dramas with the disapproving parents, and wonders whether she’ll receive an envelope of money from his mother in order for her to disappear.

He just chuckles that his mother doesn’t have the money, and even if she did, he’d want Hae-soo to bring the money to him so they could run away together. Ha. But in the absence of parental rejection, he claims the only reason they’d have to break up is because of their tempers, which has Hae-soo spitting up her drink.

Serious now (for real you guys), Hae-soo asks if he really has plans to marry her. She can’t seem to believe that she’s the first woman he’s ever asked, and that he’s dead serious. She wonders why he’d want to marry her when she’s iffy on the kids issue, terrible at housework, and prefers studying above all else. So why would he insist on marrying her?

Jae-yeol would rather call it a night, but Hae-soo demands that he tell her his reasons now. He’d rather give her a gift he got her—a new wallet, complete with a picture of them and money inside. (Does this practice exist across all cultures? I also grew up being told that you never give someone an empty wallet or purse. Bad luck or some such.)

But Hae-soo won’t let him leave without telling her why he wants to marry her, and makes it easier for him by closing her eyes to hear his answer.

My Secret Hotel Episode 4

Detective Kim tells Hae-young his wallet was found under Hwang’s body, making him Suspect No.1. Hae-young is unimpressed with the conclusion — Hwang could have picked up his lost wallet anywhere. Detective Kim agrees but then asks him to explain a photo we don’t see. Hae-young is visibly shaken.

In her office, Sang-hyo’s team comments on the white chrysanthemum she put on Hwang’s desk. Both Kyung-hee and Young-mi look uncomfortable.

Detective Kim lays out a scenario he thinks is the best explanation: Hae-young had a whirlwind romance with Sang-hyo either during the wedding arrangement process, or even back when he was in the US. Hwang found out and threatened to expose it, so Hae-young did away with him. He reveals the photo from his wallet, and it’s of Sang-hyo.

Outside the office, Shi-chan is trying to listen in, and when a co-worker asks about the detective, he goes overboard in defending Hae-young, “He has an alibi! I’m his alibi!” It’s adorable and so unhelpful.

Hae-young agrees to cooperate with the investigation, but on the condition that he keep secret his past relationship with Sang-hyo, “Because of me, I don’t want Nam Sang-hyo to be hurt.” Detective Kim agrees.

Hae-young tells the story of their quick marriage that lasted only three months; it was never registered, so legally it didn’t count. He confirms that Hwang threatened him about it and they had a fight, but he didn’t kill him.

In a flashback, we see the rest of that scene: in the tussle with the ice pick, when Hae-young has Hwang backed up against the wall, he drops the pick and instead asks him to back off from Sang-hyo. When Detective Kim asks if he met Sang-hyo that night, he says he saw her talking to someone else in the garden, so he turned back.

Detective Kim now admits he knows Hae-young isn’t the killer. Since he reported his wallet lost at 8pm — at which time multiple witnesses put Hwang alive and kicking in the employee canteen — it’s unlikely that Hae-young would have reported it lost and then left his wallet to be found under the body.

Hae-young is put out by the detective’s tactics, and the latter tells him he was just curious to know why he had that picture. He keeps the wallet as evidence but returns the photo to Hae-young, along with the advice that as a man about to be married, he really shouldn’t be carrying around his ex’s picture. With a trademark wink, he gets up.

Shi-chan spills inside, clamoring with his alibi. Detective Kim, however, says he won’t be needing one, and leaves. Shi-chan completely misunderstands him; he takes his place in Hae-young’s chair, promising to visit lots in prison, and bring him snacks. you dummy. So loyal and so misguided.

In the hotel, Sang-hyo worries about the replaced skylight, but Gi-chul assures her it’ll be fine even if you jump on it. Then, she receives a call that Soo-ah wants to meet her to sign her cancellation papers. Afraid of being slapped again, she has a plan and ropes Eun-joo into helping.

She asks Eun-joo (who’s all too happy to oblige, ha) to slap her, but she doesn’t want to be hit for real — instead, she wants to choreograph her defense moves so if Soo-ah tries to hit her again, she’ll grab her wrist, spin her around and generally appear badass: “Slapping me once is enough.”

To Sang-hyo’s dismay, Soo-ah apologizes for slapping her — given the circumstances, Soo-ah says, her behavior was excusable. She delivers dig after dig about how even people who plan other people’s weddings probably have pride, and although Sang-hyo smiles, she can’t help making a fist at her

It’s Okay, It’s Love Episode 11

Nettled by Hae-soo calling herself a woman he’ll eventually break up with, Jae-yeol warns her against using that remark again in the future. They agree to hit the pause button on this argument since it’s nearly showtime.

Tae-yong sends his friend a text to confirm whether Kang-woo’s number Jae-yeol sent is correct. Jae-yeol says it is, even though Tae-yong knows the number doesn’t exist.

It’s certainly troubling, but Tae-yong tamps down his worries when Sang-sook, Jae-yeol’s first love and fellow former schoolmate, drops by to chat. He asks about that guy in her previous letter, the one who looked like Jae-yeol throwing pebbles at her window.

It turns out that Jae-yeol’s request was for Hae-soo to be a guest on his nightly radio program. Asking why she’d choose a movie about a married couple over another in the series (depicting love prior to marriage), he comments that she appears unmarried. She confirms it, then jots something down that also gives us a meta-moment: “You’re pretty good at acting. You should become an actor.”

That’s only the beginning, as Hae-soo replies that she particularly likes the ending. Jae-yeol describes the scene for his listeners: the married couple lies in bed in their underwear, hurling insults at each other like sworn enemies. In other words, the entire scene is a mess, Hae-soo summarizes, and Jae-yeol scribbles down his answer: “Just like us right now?” Hae-soo crosses that out.

What she finds moving is the kind of relationship where two people are in love because they chose to be with that person despite their inadequacies. Though Jae-yeol himself might not know what that’s like, she adds.

He asks if she’s implying if he’s some kind of player who has no interest in long-term relationships or marriage, to which she agrees to readily. The immediate response from the listeners must be positive, since they’re encouraged to keep going, and Jae-yeol tosses back that he didn’t think she’d think of him like that, given that she’s a shrink and all.

But Hae-soo argues that humans are habitual creatures, so Jae-yeol gives her an example that those who are used to breakups must think nothing of it. She says that’s typically the case, but Jae-yeol counters that it could be the complete opposite—could that person be looking for something more substantial and meaningful after so many breakups?

He counts himself among those looking for a meaningful relationship, and she jots down that his sincerity just now nearly had her fooled. It’s hard to tell whether Hae-soo’s smile implies that she’s enjoying this or doesn’t believe him (again), but then they take a music break.

Jae-yeol swings their chairs around to resume their previous argument. Is she mad that he didn’t tell people that they were dating? He doesn’t like dishing about his love life and she said at the airport that he spends too much money, so he acted out of consideration for her.

But Hae-soo scoffs at that—he sounds like someone who’s thinking about marrying her. He points out that she’s the weird one for not thinking about it. It’s natural to harbor serious thoughts like marriage at their age, isn’t it?

Hae-soo shushes him, joking that he’s well on his way to propose to her at this rate. I don’t exactly see what she finds so funny about this conversation, and neither does Jae-yeol. It’s because she’s flattered by the idea that he’d think of marrying her, which just confuses him (and myself) even further.

Fated To Love You Episode 18

Grandma Wang is beside herself as she sees the headlines declaring Gun’s genetic illness while the media prepares for a press conference. Mi-young has to field a mob of reporters outside the Lee Manor door as she desperately hails down a taxi to get to the conference, and Gun.

She makes it there only after Gun admits to the press that the rumors about him having the disease are all true, so as a result, he will be respectfully resigning as CEO of Jangin Chemicals. Whaaaat.

“Lee Gun!” Mi-young calls from the doorway. The press recognize her and surround her, but she doesn’t seem to notice when her eyes are solely on Gun: “I found out about everything. The reason why you lied to me, and why you pushed me away so viciously.”

Gun looks stricken, though he desperately tries to hide it as he addresses her as “Ellie Kim” and asks what she thinks she’s doing. “Look me in the eyes when you lie to me,” she continues, regardless of their every action being recorded. “Tell me that you didn’t miss me at all for the past three years, and that I meant nothing to you. Tell me.”

Instead of fessing up, Gun reacts angrily as he orders Manager Tak to take her away—but Mi-young won’t back down on this one. “Tell me. If you’re confident that you can live without me, I really will let you go.”

A moment of silence passes before Gun, who looks like he’s in physical pain from the emotional restraint he’s using, finally admits that he lied before giving his reasoning: “If you’re having a hard time or if you’re in pain, I’ll be in pain too. That’s why I lied.”

Mi-young asks if he’s a fool, which definitely startles him. Then she steps up onto the stage with him to confront him face to face as she asks why he’s worrying in advance about the hard times she might face for a disease that hasn’t yet taken hold of him.

“Why do we have to be sad, in despair, and crying in advance? We can cry when it actually happens,” Mi-young says with tears in her eyes. I still wish Gun would’ve realized this on his own though.

Gun tells her that nothing has changed now that she knows everything, especially his disease. A tear falls down his cheek as he adds, almost in a whisper, “I don’t have the right to love you.”

Joseon Gunman Episode 20

Soo-in makes her tearful departure with Yoon-kang, to enter service at the palace.

There are multiple reasons that becoming a court lady is seen by Soo-in’s loved ones as a terrible thing. Her mother doesn’t want to lose another family member to the terrible vicissitudes of court life, certainly, but more importantly, a court lady is giving her loyalty to the king. She may be chosen to be the king’s consort and can marry him, but not anyone else; outside relationships were forbidden and punishable by law. (Granted, there were exceptions and court ladies could sometimes retire from service, but that required the king’s permission.) Thus Soo-in is giving up much more than temporary freedom; she could find herself bound for life.

It also makes this feel much more like betrayal when Yoon-kang charges straight to Teacher Kim Ok-kyun and confirms that he’d pressed Soo-in to make the decision. Yoon-kang reminds him that he’d told him Soo-in was more dear to him than his own life, and asks bleakly, “How could you do this? Why did you steal Soo-in from me? Why did you take away my last hope?!”

Kim Ok-kyun says that it was Soo-in’s choice, and that she did it for Yoon-kang’s sake—she sacrificed herself in the hopes that Yoon-kang’s name could be cleared and stop living as a fugitive. Yoon-kang is furious and hears these as excuses, but Kim Ok-kyun tells him there’s one way to get Soo-in back: “You must succeed in this task.”

Poor Yoon-kang, who rages futilely. Here’s a case where the ends seem justified, but the means? Well, they’re just as manipulative as the bad guys. Does that make it just as bad, or does the noble goal mitigate how they’re using Yoon-kang for their ends?

The young slave boy from the mines (who stole food from Yoon-kang’s house) approaches Yoon-kang, having heard that he rushed him to the doctor last time after he was knocked out by the horse. He’s been hiding here in this abandoned house because he’s a runaway, and has already guessed that Yoon-kang is the (in)famous Black Gunman of the Full Moon. He asks if Yoon-kang is also here because he has nowhere to go, and Yoon-kang sighs that it’s true.

The boy encourages him to be strong, because he’s the Black Gunman: “There are lots of people like me—you have to save them, like you saved me.”

Soo-in enters the palace, and Ho-kyung watches her with sad eyes.

Meanwhile, Jung-hoon has decided to become a palace guard after all, following Officer Moon into service. He declines the offer to join the corps being trained with guns, because he doesn’t like them—swords are way cooler. I’m pretty sure Officer Moon wants to smack him. Jung-hoon assumes that guard life will be easy and that they’re not facing any uprisings, but when Officer Moon says that it’s their duty to face those sudden threats, he tries to back out, only to be told there are no take-backs on palace service.

That’s when Jung-hoon also sees Soo-in among the court lady ranks. There’s no time to talk, though, and he is left utterly confused.
