Miss Evening and Day: Episodes 9-10

by Unit

Given how the present ended its first half, I anticipated extra progress within the romance division this week. Alas, Present appears to produce other plans for our prosecutor and his love curiosity. And it kicks off its second half with each variations of our heroine on the heart of various misunderstandings.

 
EPISODES 9-10

The drama continues its custom of misdirection, because it seems that Mi-jin and Ji-woong didn’t truly kiss final week! Our heroine learns the laborious manner that the draw back to drunkenly headbutting her crush on her first day in his home is that his instincts will kick within the subsequent time she brings her face near his. Sadly, what Ji-woong blocks this time is a kiss, not a headbutt. Lol.

Ji-woong immediately regrets it when he realizes what occurred, however it’s too late. An embarrassed Mi-jin makes her manner again to Ga-yeong’s residence — the place she finds no solace due to all of the instances and locations for her bestie to fangirl over kiss scenes, it needed to be proper in entrance of our kiss-denied heroine. Hehe. Mi-jin finally ends up deciphering Ji-woong’s blocking of the kiss as rejection, and Ji-woong’s energy of articulation goes out of the window. Now she thinks he doesn’t like her that manner, and he thinks… I don’t even know what he’s pondering at this level. However no matter it’s, he must voice it out.

With the air of bewilderment blowing round this drama’s universe, it’s no shock that Myung-duk will get caught up in it as properly. After recognizing Gained — on multiple event — performing overly pleasant with Quickly, Myung-duk turns into satisfied that Gained has a crush on Quickly. And whereas he’s completely proper, what makes this misunderstanding hilarious is that to the remainder of the world, Quickly is an ahjumma.

Myung-duk can’t get previous the age distinction, and watching him have a meltdown on witnessing the Quickly × Gained interactions jogs my memory of fangirls’ reactions to their idol’s courting “scandals.” Gained is likely to be the idol right here, however Myung-duk is a Quickly fan. And it’s candy, albeit humorous, that he’s frightened that Gained has mischievous intentions in the direction of his hardworking colleague who “sorts actually quick and likes pink.” Lol.

Myung-duk and Ji-woong run into Mi-jin and Ga-yeong at a restaurant, and over small speak, Myung-duk learns that Ga-yeong is a Gained fan. To check Ga-yeong’s “all ladies like Gained” declare, Myung-duk asks Mi-jin what she would do if Gained requested her out, and Ji-woong may be very offended by the hypothetical query. Pfft. All that jealousy and for what? He nonetheless doesn’t make a transfer even when Mi-jin implies that she gained’t date Gained as a result of she’s acquired her eyes on another person. *Cough* the person she tried to kiss the opposite day *cough*

Shifting on to our resident villain, Ji-woong learns from post-mortem studies that fentanyl was present in Cheol-gyu’s spouse’s blood. Similar fentanyl discovered within the 20-year-old dismemberment case, and the present raincoat killer case. Talking of the present case, a physique surfaces within the native reservoir, and it seems to be the AWOL intern — who’s lacking a limb. The exact same limb discovered on the crime scene of the raincoat homicide.

Waitaminute, we noticed the raincoat killer chase a lady that evening. We noticed him assault her together with his axe. Then we noticed a severed limb. Naturally, I assumed the limb belonged to the girl. However now you’re telling me it was AWOL intern’s all alongside? Whoa! This present actually loves its misdirections.

Don’t even get me began on the present main us to consider — through Ji-woong’s flashbacks — that the physique the police took out of that residence was his mother’s. Just for us to be taught this week that his mother has been lacking — in all probability because the time she was carted away whereas ready for the detective to come back get her witness assertion.

Talking of witnesses, though Ji-woong purchased our heroine all these self-defense weapons to guard herself as a witness within the raincoat killer case, I’m unsure she realized how a lot hazard she’s in till she discovers that Cheol-gyu and the raincoat killer drive the identical automobile. And the data that she has been in proximity with the suspected killer all this whereas is sufficient to terrify her and ship her spiraling.

Ji-woong’s software for a search and seizure warrant for Hwadong Medical Middle will get rejected, however he’s not one to let a bit factor like paperwork get in the way in which of his investigation. Quickly fakes a abdomen cramp, and like the nice colleagues they’re, Ji-woong and Myung-duk deliver her to Hwadong for remedy. The trio go their separate investigative methods as soon as within the hospital, however Quickly is flagged by one of many medical doctors and the data reaches Cheol-gyu.

Cheol-gyu instructs the physician to carry Quickly till his arrival, however Quickly escapes the ward to finish her investigation, and she or he results in Cheol-gyu’s workplace. Now I’m barely confused as a result of I used to be working beneath the idea that Cheol-gyu had already retired from his director place. He did discuss his directorship in previous tense. However apparently, he’s nonetheless the medical director — who takes day off hospital duties to mop flooring as a senior citizen intern within the prosecution workplace. His dedication to monitoring our heroine up shut must be studied.

For now, it will appear that Cheol-gyu is extra concerned with Quickly than in Mi-jin. And his curiosity in Quickly appears to be primarily based on no matter historical past he had with the actual Im Quickly. He confirms from our Quickly’s blood check that she’s O+, however as compared with the outcomes of an outdated check from 1998, the actual Quickly is A+. The discrepancy in blood sort is one factor, however with Quickly snooping round to seek out filth on him, Cheol-gyu takes a number of days off work on the prosecution workplace. “Has the time come for us now to place this to an finish?” he asks himself whereas watching CCTV footage of Quickly sneaking into his workplace, and I don’t even need to know what he needs to place to an finish.

Whereas Quickly may not have discovered any helpful proof in Cheol-gyu’s workplace, not less than she overhears the blood check dialog and now she’s conscious that he may need some connection together with her lacking aunt. However, Ji-woong discovered some suspicious wanting vials within the basement storage at Hwadong, and he sneaked one out. When the crew ultimately finds the situation the place the fentanyl distribution membership stashed their medicine, they’ve the medicine examined and in comparison with the content material of the vial, and it’s the identical factor. Nice! Now they will get a warrant for the medical heart.

Again to our romance crumbs, the drama heightens Ji-woong’s jealousy to the purpose the place he’s tempted to make use of the situation tracker for private causes. He stops himself earlier than he crosses the road and decides to name Mi-jin as an alternative. However it’s Gained who picks up the cellphone — as a result of he’s out with Mi-jin on the lookout for the mysterious cat — and petty Gained is so blissful to rub his friendship with Mi-jin in Ji-woong’s face. Tsk. One man installs a secret tracker on her cellphone and the opposite picks up her calls — and doesn’t inform her about it till the next day. The issues these males do behind Mi-jin’s again!

Gained is likely to be crossing our heroine’s boundaries a bit extra excessively than Ji-woong — particularly since he is aware of about her secret. However his data turns out to be useful when he shreds an nameless letter that is available in for the deputy chief stating that there’s a senior intern who lied about their id. When a second letter is available in, Gained heads over to Mi-jin’s home. However moderately than inform her concerning the letters, he asks her to stop. Out of the blue. “In case you want it, I’ll pay your wage,” he says, and that’s only a horrible selection of phrases to say to an individual who landed a job after a number of years. Or to anybody else, for that matter.

At this level, Mi-jin has had it with the boys in her life. One is giving combined alerts and the opposite is bragging about his cash. “Am I a charity case? Why are you doing this?” Mi-jin asks Gained, and he replies that he doesn’t know. It’s his first time liking somebody and he’s frightened that one thing may occur to this somebody. “I’ve by no means felt this manner earlier than,” Gained says. “About who?” Mi-jin asks. “You,” Gained replies. And there now we have it, people, a confession! To additional thicken the plot, Ji-woong watches every thing go down from a number of paces away. However I gained’t be stunned if this finally ends up being a misdirection and Ji-woong didn’t truly hear the confession.

It’s been a extremely lengthy week with our OTP misinterpreting one another’s intentions and swimming in misunderstanding and miscommunication. So many miss-es, it’s nearly like we’re in a magnificence pageant. Mi-jin and Ji-woong are actually in a sluggish burn. They’re sluggish, and we’re those who’ll burn with impatience as we watch for them to get collectively. At this level, they each have to throw their telephones into the reservoir and speak to one another nose to nose — no slicing into one another’s sentences and no leaping into conclusions when nothing has been concluded — and possibly Present may also throw the raincoat killer plot into the reservoir whereas at it.
