by starrygazer
Although the boys and their tales have been the primary focus of our present to date, it’s good to see our feminine protagonist coming into her personal after the time leap. Will our three musketeers be capable to construct bridges and reconcile? Unsure about you, however I’m sitting right here with my cuppa wrapped in a blanket prepared to search out out.
EPISODES 9-10
After by chance letting their departure out of the bag final week, our boys have very telling exit storylines. To start with San-ha’s departure focuses on Joo-won. Managing to upset her, San-ha tells Joo-won he has “tasks” — that’s why he’s leaving — main her to surmise that she isn’t one in every of them. Whoops. Joo-won is avoiding the boys as a lot as she will be able to after this dialog; she’s actually harm that they’re leaving. And when San-ha finally catches as much as her, she is scarfing 4 muffins at her favourite bakery. Haha – woman after my very own coronary heart. *Pausing to go seize some cake*
A really honest and emotional San-ha guarantees Joo-won that when he returns after school that he won’t ever depart once more. It’s a touching scene and Joo-won believes him. Not solely is Joo-won taking this difficult, however each of our dads are too, consuming and bickering with one another just like the previous married couple they need to be haha. It broke my coronary heart slightly when San-ha defined to his dad (Dad Kim), that he’s leaving as a result of his mom retains attempting to commit suicide. Dad Kim understands San-ha’s level, however he’s frightened about San-ha shouldering all of that accountability alone.
Hae-joon’s exit storyline brings him along with Dal. Lastly! Dal has favored Hae-joon for some time now however he’s too naive to note. In a cute “saving Dal from a soccer to the face” second, Dal appears to fallen much more for Hae-joon (and simply earlier than he leaves for America). Hae-joon is so candy when seeing her off, I really feel unhealthy for her wailing on the aspect of the street. (But it surely was a teeny bit humorous.)
In fact Dad Yoon and Hae-joon make me cry once more (a number of occasions) — each week these actors carry their “A” sport and I simply can’t deal with it. It seems that Hae-joon performs basketball due to Dad Yoon encouraging him when he was younger. He’s such a candy child, and this simply highlights the bond between them. Dad Yoon tries to get by to Hae-joon earlier than he leaves, telling him he simply needs Hae-joon to be comfortable and he can come residence at any time. However Hae-joon needs to come back again profitable; will he hearken to Dad Yoon?
The time leap may be very properly proven by Joo-won’s eager for the return of her “brothers.” Joo-won has come to just accept that each boys would return after school. And we see her slowly lose her spark with each passing birthday, and a dwindling contact between the three of them because the years roll on. Now within the current day, Joo-won avoids her birthday altogether and concentrates on operating her bakery. (Facet be aware: it’s cutely known as Daldal.) And speak about turning a ardour right into a job — good for you Joo-won. *Excessive fives the air*
Dal lets Joo-won know that somebody warned her that there was a weirdo lurking across the bakery. Joo-won, as fearless as ever, doesn’t appear too bothered till she goes into her retailer and the lurker is inside. After a comical altercation between Joo-won and mentioned weirdo, they find yourself within the police station. Our weirdo seems to be Hae-joon – haha! And Joo-won, not like our two dads, will not be happy to see him. Then San-ha rocks as much as the police station after visiting the bakery and seeing the mess to search out everybody there.
One of the best factor in regards to the household gathered on the police station was the detective attempting to make sense of who was associated to whom – in the meantime Joo-won is adamant the boys are strangers. It appears that evidently Hae-joon had been doing his army service after dropping out of school and giving up basketball. Wow, I’m intrigued to know extra about what occurred to Hae-joon – however he might have picked a greater option to say howdy. Haha.
Sitting down for a tense meal, the dads are thrilled and our three musketeers will not be fairly positive the place to start out. Joo-won is indignant and harm even after ten years (!) have handed and the boys have relayed little or no about their time away from residence. The boys say they’re again for good, and Joo-won confides in Dal that she thought she could be comfortable about this however it’s simply awkward. She intends to keep away from them.
Good luck with that Joo-won, as a result of are you able to imagine who now lives subsequent door to the women (who share an house)? That’s proper — it’s San-ha, who’s now in medical faculty, and a seemingly down-on-his-luck and half- bare Hae-joon. (Dal’s squeal and half-hiding her eyes at Hae-joon’s lack of garments made me snicker.) Joo-won offers Hae-joon her card to purchase some sneakers (as a result of he seems to be like a hobo haha), and whereas he’s out and about he’s additionally purchasing for property to purchase Dad Yoon a much bigger restaurant. Simply what did occur with Hae-joon?
We get slightly little bit of a solution to that query at Joo-won’s birthday meal with the household. After placing Hae-joon on the spot about not contacting them for 5 years, San-ha tells the household that Hae-joon received severely harm and had to surrender basketball. Hae-joon had known as San-ha as a result of he thought he would by no means stroll once more and he nonetheless must be cautious. The 2 dads and Joo-won are understandably upset, and never being knowledgeable about this provides gasoline to Joo-won’s emotions of being not noted.
Get the tissues prepared as a result of Dad Yoon and Hae-joon are at it once more. Ugly crying will begin once you see Dad Yoon take Hae-joon’s hand and inform him that he ought to have come residence. Dad Yoon continues that he instructed him to not overdo it, and simply do what he wished to do and revel in it. “You labored exhausting. My son has grown a lot.” My heartstrings can’t take these two each week; it’s healthful but unhappy on the similar time.
Hae-joon’s story finishes this week with Joo-won’s birthday meal at her store together with her associates. There are acquainted faces from highschool, some welcome and one undoubtedly not haha. After loads of booze, Hae-joon evacuates everybody from the bakery — he clearly senses Joo-won’s disappointment at San-ha being held up at work. And there’s a little flirting between Hae-joon and Dal over some hangover soup the subsequent day. Please get collectively you two!!
For the second, we don’t know an terrible lot about what has occurred to San-ha over the past ten years both. San-ha’s mum is in a wheelchair at present and So-hee is in highschool. It appears mum continues to be attempting to stress San-ha at each flip, so I doubt we’ve heard the final of her. San-ha is working on the native hospital with the boy that enjoyed Joo-won in highschool (who he pumps for data on Joo-won) and Hae-joon’s ex from highschool who was a little bit of a imply woman in earlier episodes. I believe she’s simply there to stir issues up, to be trustworthy.
But it surely’s very clear that San-ha has come again for Joo-won, taking each alternative he can to see her and purchase her issues. Joo-won isn’t very acceptant of those gestures, however she doesn’t perceive the intention behind them. But. Over the last scene, San-ha learns Joo-won is happening a date and he’s in a rush to cease her. My jaw was practically on the ground when he simply blurted out he likes her, and has for ten years. That was (form of) surprising. I believed San-ha would hen out! It will likely be a shock to Joo-won’s system — I’m wondering how she’s going to take it?
There may be nonetheless a shroud of thriller with regards to what occurred to our boys within the decade they had been away. Hae-joon’s Actual Dad hasn’t been talked about but, so the place is he? Teenage So-hee appears to be on San-ha’s aspect with regards to his mum’s manipulative conduct, however how unhealthy has it been? Will San-ha have the willpower not to return to his mum? There are loads of gaps from the boys’ pasts to be crammed, and loads of scope for the budding romances to flourish.
Joo-won nonetheless has her sparkle, however she is marred by her harm. If she will be able to let go of that and settle for her previous household for who they’re now, issues might get very attention-grabbing. It appears like the highschool a part of the drama was setting the scene for the meaty storylines to come back, and I’m undoubtedly right here for it.
