by starrygazer

There may be much less romance this week and extra private development for our hero and heroine — which for me is a disgrace — however their goofy but heartfelt connection is what retains me . Total, the dynamics are altering in plenty of relationships which leaves me questioning how issues will finish subsequent week.

 
EPISODES 13-14

Hong-do and Yoon-bok are tasked by Camille with discovering someplace for the primary stage for the style present. They go for a stroll round, and as Hong-do’s assistants are being lower than useful, Yoon-bok decides to take the reins. Yoon-bok takes Hong-do to see some stunning surroundings that he has at all times needed to share together with her. Candy. He reminisces about seeing these locations together with his late father and Hong-do appears touched that he’s sharing this together with her.

Yoon-bok takes Hong-do and her assistants for a meal after their day strolling across the village. And the 2 assistants are very inquisitive about (learn: crushing on) Yoon-bok, bombarding him with questions — “Do you’ve got a girlfriend?” being probably the most pointed one. He declares Hong-do his girlfriend and the assistants appear a tad shocked haha.

The comedian aid this week comes within the type of Yoon-bok being the face of the style present. Camille is nudging Hong-do and Yoon-bok to spend time collectively as a result of they so clearly like one another. She asks Hong-do to coach Yoon-bok daily till the present on the way to stroll down the catwalk. Watching him strolling all disjointed and placing poses was so towards his character it was virtually droll.

Hong-do has just a little slip making an attempt to indicate Yoon-bok the way to pose and twists her ankle. Yoon-bok, being the gentleman he’s, insists on giving her a piggyback trip and tending to her earlier than they proceed. A gaggle of ladies from the village determine to assist, however as an alternative bombard the pair with questions on marriage and having offspring. The phrase offspring has our couple trying horrified haha.

Hong-do is clearly troubled by the encounter and decides to speak to Yoon-bok about what is going to occur to their relationship sooner or later (i.e., if she goes to Paris and he inherits Seongsan Village), asking him his plans for the subsequent 12 months or two. Yoon-bok, at all times steadfast in his convictions, assures her he will likely be by her facet even when they’re on the opposite facet of the world. “The second I gave you my coronary heart I gave you my time too.” This gave me all of the feels, however Yoon-bok is so inflexible to his beliefs it leaves us the viewers and Hong-do questioning if he’ll blindly observe them on the expense of his personal happiness?

Our thriller subplot is beginning to take an sudden flip this week, and we see a really totally different facet of Joon-oh after he’s arrested within the storeroom (after Yoon-bok had corned him in there on the finish of the final episode). First, a flashback reveals us how Yoon-bok got here to know Joon-oh can be there. Yoon-bok occurred to see Nobleman Lee accepting a bag of money from Joon-oh, and after seeing this Yoon-bok had met with Grandad Shin, Camille, and Hong-do to debate a manner ahead.

Yoon-bok’s plan was to have Camille seemingly flip her again on Grandad Shin and comfy as much as Nobleman Lee, giving him cash so she will be able to nonetheless maintain the style present within the village. Yoon-bok additionally suggested Grandad Shin to step down to ensure that Nobleman Lee to have a false sense of safety, pondering he had received. After placing just a few puzzle items collectively, Yoon-bok realized that Joon-oh can be again and that is how he involves confront him within the storage room.

The witness that Yoon-bok hid in Seongsan Village a while in the past is outed as Hong-do’s absentee father, KIM CHIL-BOK (Kim Byung-choon.) After lastly working into him on the village after just a few close to misses, Hong-do has a really chilly change with him. This surprises Yoon-bok, who has by no means seen her act like this earlier than. Yoon-bok follows him out and Dad explains that Hong-do had each cause to behave that manner. Dad briefly explains how he fell aside after their mum died, and after a collection of dangerous judgement calls and errors he couldn’t face his kids. He pleads with Yoon-bok to go in and luxury Hong-do.

Hong-do places on a courageous face for Yoon-bok as he asks earnestly if she is okay. Hong-do tries to get him to go away saying she’s advantageous, however he simply sits and waits for her. Opening up, Hong-do goes into just a little element about her dad’s suicide try (which she witnessed after their mum handed), and the way he misplaced their house after which disappeared, leaving her and Hong-hak to fend for themselves. Taking her hand, Yoon-bok comforts her as she breaks down. It’s a beautiful second between the 2, albeit heart-wrenching for Hong-do, and it permits for just a little extra depth and understanding of their relationship.

Within the aftermath of Joon-oh’s arrest, YEOJOO-DAEK (Lee Se-rang) — Joon-oh’s mum who’s a servant to Yoon-bok’s family within the village — is distraught. Yeojoo-daek goes to see Grandad Shin to inform him she goes to go away the village as a result of she feels too ashamed. Overhearing this, Yoon-bok agrees with Grandad Shin’s sentiment that she ought to keep. He efficiently convinces her to, reminding Yeojoo-daek that she is sort of a mum to him and he would hate for her to battle exterior of the village like his mum did when she was pressured to go away. Yoon-bok’s sincerity makes you actually love his character.

As Joon-oh had Yoon-bok’s father’s key in his possession, Yoon-bok visits him within the holding cell and asks him outright if he was concerned in his father’s dying. Judging by Joon-oh’s response it appears not possible he had something to do with it. Yoon-bok reassures him he’ll take care of Yeojoo-daek till he will get out of jail. It makes a pleasant change to see Joon-oh just a little extra conflicted over what he has executed on the point out of his mom.

After being informed he’s going to be moved to a detention middle, Joon-oh is being walked out by an officer and crosses paths with a “supply man” brandishing a hid weapon. Very daring to try an assassination in a police station! To my aid it’s a failed try, and Joon-oh’s demeanor has rapidly modified from smug to contrite to downright scared.

On a lighter word, there may be some joviality between Camille and Grandad Shin this week. Grandad Shin is wildly misunderstanding Camille’s relationship with Frankie, exhibiting hilarious bouts of jealousy. He occurs to overhear Frankie whispering candy nothings over the cellphone to somebody and jumps to the conclusion that Frankie and Camille are having an affair. When Grandad Shin confronts Camille, her laughter is so raucous and infectious. I beloved it. She explains to Grandad Shin he must replace his mindset (good level): Frankie is her enterprise companion and finest pal. The great-humored teasing between these two is popping into certainly one of my favourite issues concerning the present.

Talking of Grandad Shin updating his mindset, Yoon-bok has an concept he isn’t certain Grandad will likely be on board with. He needs to open Seongsan Cultural Academy, giving the youngsters of the village an opportunity to be taught expertise from the surface world. After witnessing a toddler being chided for drawing the identical manner he was when he was younger, Yoon-bok involves the conclusion that not a lot has modified in twenty years. And he needs to do one thing about that.

Grandad Shin initially says their traditions will disappear in the event that they open up the village, however Yoon-bok disagrees. Having a really comparable viewpoint to his late father, he factors out that if custom can’t sustain with the instances it can disappear anyway. The similarities between father and son aren’t misplaced on Grandad Shin, and he grants him a trial interval.

Yoon-bok and Hong-do determine to ask Hong-hak to show webtoon drawing, which could I add he’s sensible at. Hyang-ki teaches espresso making. (I like that she has now been accepted into the group.) Yoon-ah teaches self-defense with Hong-hak as her opponent, and it’s nice to see these two interacting once more this week. As for Yoon-bok, he teaches manners/etiquette, and with everybody’s assist it’s a roaring success. (I’m unsure why Hong-hak and Yoon-ah are dressed as birds and dancing round lol but it surely was cute and the youngsters appreciated it, so I’ll simply go together with it.) The success of the academy leaves Hong-do pondering that Yoon-bok is required right here within the village. He’s making an actual distinction. What occurs to them now?

The ultimate scene of this week did take me unexpectedly. Joon-oh has been declining all guests, however he does meet his mum to warn her to not come again once more, and to watch out she isn’t being adopted. Slowly turning into a jittery mess, he asks Yeojoo-daek to move on a message to Yoon-bok: He’ll meet him simply as soon as.

Nevertheless, on his stroll to the customer’s room to fulfill Yoon-bok, Joon-oh is brutally attacked and consequently rushed to the hospital. Joon-oh has not been a favourite character of mine, however I’ve seen him in a unique mild this week. It might have been good to see a correct redemption arc for his character, if solely the drama has labored this plot level in higher. With one week left to go, I’m unsure there will likely be one.
