DNA Lover: Episodes 9-10
by Dramaddictally
Our leads are falling in love this week. Since their first kiss, they’ve moved on to handholding, journeys to the ocean, and attempting to alter one another (on the DNA degree). Whereas our overprotective firefighter backs off to let love breathe, our interloping relationship columnist is attempting to drum up drama.
EPISODES 9-10
Following their kiss within the hospital mattress final week, So-jin and Yeon-woo are instantly shut as may be, joking round, making future plans, and even exchanging items. When So-jin receives a pair of fancy heels, she tells Yeon-woo to not fear about her operating away (as a result of she’s sure he’s her fated lover). However when she whips out a pair merchandise (matching DNA-strand bracelets), he’s not as psyched as she is to partake in sporting them. Though, he concedes.
Since they’re formally relationship now, the majority of those episodes has our new couple discovering methods to point out they care. So-jin thinks of Yeon-woo continuous, by no means eager to get off the telephone, and he or she’s already obtained her coronary heart set on a contented ending. On the similar time, Yeon-woo is shocking himself (and everybody else) by eager to get nearer to her, quite than hold his cool and protected distance. In a stunning one-liner, he tells us: “Love is a recreation the place the one who retains their distance wins. However this girl makes me need to lose the sport.” (Awww. That’s really candy, in a player-ish means.)
However whereas Yeon-woo is attempting to decrease his cool, So-jin is attempting to achieve some nonchalance. Jealousy is weighing on her at each flip — the place any girl that Yeon-woo is involved with is a doable risk. And whereas most of those women are nothing to fret about, there’s a particular girl that’s approaching robust: our polyamorous protagonist, who instantly has her eyes on just one man.
Mi-eun visits So-jin’s workplace, sporting the identical model of footwear that Yeon-woo gifted So-jin, and makes it look like they obtained their footwear from the identical individual. Then she blathers on about how they dated for 3 years and have a deep connection — leaving So-jin anxious and fuming, however unwilling to point out her upset. So-jin believes that Yeon-woo is her future, however Mi-eun says she doesn’t imagine in future (a.ok.a., she’s able to combat for him).
With nervousness rampant and nowhere to direct it, So-jin decides to attempt to alter Yeon-woo’s DNA. She’s desires to show off his cheater gene and activate the unexpressed monogamy gene (which is evidently recessive?) after which she will be able to lastly sleep at evening. To do that, she bottles up a gene-suppressing spritz and tells him to make use of it each day. He agrees, however provided that, in return, she’ll go on a visit with him overseas (which our homebody heroine is reluctant to do).
Issues get even worse for So-jin when she admits to Yeon-woo that she loves him. (She loves him quite a bit! In her phrases.) And Yeon-woo doesn’t say something again. Really, he will get awkward, modifications the topic, after which high-tails it out of there. However, as we study, our male lead has deep-seated trauma on account of his father’s infidelity and his mom’s obsession with holding onto the wedding despite it. The reality is, Yeon-woo doesn’t need to burden anybody by connecting to them. He gained’t say “I like you” until he’s certain he can imply it perpetually (which is a reasonably tall order).
And whereas So-jin is infuriated that he didn’t say it again, we see Yeon-woo spritzing himself with the playboy-suppressant mist on the each day. So, he’s attempting! He additionally tries to covertly point out to So-jin that not everyone has the identical abilities in relation to love. What’s straightforward for some folks to say straight is admittedly tough for others — but it surely doesn’t imply they don’t really feel it.
To point out her how he feels about her, he suggests a visit to the seaside. En route, he reaches over to carry her hand within the automobile. Ohhhh! That is the primary time this drama gave me legit feels. And as soon as they’re on the sand, it’s strolling, speaking, and handholding central. They’re cute. And our man is admittedly coming round.
However if you’re on Episode 10 and this a lot closeness happens, there’s just one path for our elation to go — and that’s down. Simply as our leads are beginning to assume they’re discovering their groove collectively, they get in a combat. So-jin is optimistic, assuming their relationship might (or will) final perpetually, however Yeon-woo is extra sensible and isn’t sure how issues will go. He understands that it might finish sooner or later — not that he desires it to — however that it might. Nevertheless, So-jin desires to listen to him categorical his love and decide to fortunately ever after.
To shut our week, we lastly get affirmation that the basketball jersey that So-jin swiped for DNA functions (again in Episode 3) does certainly belong to Kang-hoon. After all, we had this suspicion since then, however what I didn’t perceive till now could be that Yeon-woo has identified the entire time. So, what does this imply? First, Kang-hoon is So-jin’s DNA Lover. And second, Yeon-woo continues to be a liar! Is he preserving it from So-jin so she’ll fall for him anyway? (This man. Simply after I was beginning to like him.)
Anyway, Yeon-woo tells Mi-eun concerning the DNA mix-up, and he or she then tells Kang-hoon. It appears So-jin is the one one out of the loop. Besides, simply because the episode ends, So-jin is standing within the doorway wanting shocked, simply after Mi-eun has revealed the information to Kang-hoon. So, plainly So-jin is aware of.
I simply must say, it could make me soooooo glad if Kang-hoon will get the lady. Am I going to undergo the worst case of second lead syndrome in my historical past of bouts with the sickness? Maybe. However I’m actually excited for subsequent week to see how this pans out. Kang-hoon had simply began to again off and cease being so protecting of So-jin now that she and Yeon-woo are relationship. He’s nonetheless fearful (and advising her to not fall in love so quick), however he was attempting to not get entangled and to let her have what she desires. However with our heroine’s unalterable perception in DNA lovers, will this have an effect on what she desires?
And concerning the different two, I’m torn. I like Yeon-woo and Mi-eun as folks, however I’m unsure they’re an ideal match both. I’ve a sneaking suspicion that if Mi-eun obtained Yeon-woo all to herself, she won’t need him anymore (ya know, the entire thrill of the chase). And Yeon-woo, little by little, is definitely altering his methods and opening up. So, I’d say we’ve two viable choices for our main girl at this level. And regardless that I’m staff white t-shirt and biceps firefighter, if Yeon-woo can get his lies of omission below management, I’d let him win me over.
