by Unit
It’s cohabitation o’clock, and it’s time for hijinks! As our enemies-who-aren’t-lovers-yet spend time beneath the identical roof, they unearth and unlock fond reminiscences. However it’s as much as them to face these reminiscences, as a result of prepared or not, the results of their guess is out!
EPISODES 5-6
Regardless of Yoon-ji’s objections, Seok-ji strikes into the college residence alongside Moon-soo. I’m barely disenchanted that we didn’t get a scene of those three musketeers plus grandpa sporting the matching tracksuits, however the present does entertain us with Seok-ji and Moon-soo’s petty makes an attempt to be the best housemate/grandson-in-law. Cooking, cleansing, laundry… earlier than you title it, Seok-ji and Moon-soo have carried out it. I used to be a little bit shocked Seok-ji didn’t destroy something whereas on his Mr. Repair-it spree, however then I remembered he’s obtained a background in building. Background in cooking, not a lot. I can’t imagine this man dumped a ladle of sugar in his stew. *Facepalm*
After all Grandpa Yoon enjoys each little bit of the housemate drama, and Soo-ah jokingly asks to maneuver in so she will be able to witness the drama for herself. However, Yoon-ji and Ji-hye do NOT benefit from the present state of issues for his or her particular person apparent causes. Ji-hye overhears our Ji-wons bickering in school over the housemate scenario, and he or she sees Seok-ji smiling to himself afterwards like a loon. “They’re at it once more with their antics,” she mutters to herself, and I’m wondering what evil lies she’s going to concoct to separate them this time.
Grandpa Yoon’s try to rally the townspeople to oppose Daddy Seok’s proposed golf course fails resulting from their assumption that the land costs will go up after the golf course is constructed. A contented Daddy Seok gathers the folks for premium beef and beer, and Grandpa Yoon storms the restaurant. To his credit score, he reins in his anger — till a drunk Seok berates Yoon-ji for ending up as a trainer after appearing all excessive and mighty in her youthful days. Grandpa Yoon responds with a “hold my granddaughter’s title out of your mouth” slap, and the boys get right into a brawl. Aigoo.
After separating their feuding fatherly figures, Seok-ji and Yoon-ji decide up from the place the fathers left off. Accusations fly, arguments comply with, and hurtful phrases are hurled forwards and backwards. Truthfully, I need to put these two in a timeout as a result of it’s like they’re each speaking to a wall. They’re battling with the ache that every particular person thinks the opposite inflicted on them, however reasonably than talk that damage, they’re simply going round in circles and masking the ache within the unkind phrases they spew at one another. How does Ji-hye sleep at night time figuring out that her one act of jealousy has brought on this a lot harm?
Unsurprisingly, Ji-hye sleeps simply positive as one would anticipate from an individual whose skincare routine is jealousy and wickedness. Actually, it’s with nice delight that she receives the information that Seok-ji and Yoon-ji have been concerned in one more argument. Ji-hye tries to reap the benefits of the bitter relationship to pit Yoon-ji towards Seok-ji, but it surely doesn’t work. Regardless of how “petty, silly, egocentric and impolite” Yoon-ji finds Seok-ji, she is aware of he’s not a liar as Ji-hye would have her imagine. Ji-hye then adjustments techniques and invitations herself to the college residence. However nothing says “I’m visiting to drink with Yoon-ji” higher than sneaking into Seok-ji’s empty room to feed her delulu imaginations. Tsk. Having unrequited emotions suck, however she doesn’t should be so pathetic about it.
Hours later, Ji-hye wakes up from a drunken nap and will get set to go house. However on strolling into the lounge, Ji-hye and Yoon-ji get the fright of their lives after they see a pair of legs hanging out of the ceiling. However it’s simply Seok-ji and his curiosity that led him to the attic — the place he finds Yoon-ji’s field of reminiscences containing their footage from highschool amongst different issues. Aww. Seok-ji climbs again down with the field, and Yoon-ji’s head alarms go off. She rushes to seize the field, however she journeys and grabs his pants as an alternative… and London Bridge comes crashing down. Pfft! I’ll by no means be bored with this falling gag.
After ending up along with his pants down in entrance of the entire home, Seok-ji’s woe-meter climbs when the thermostat in his room stops working. He will get a nasty chilly which develops right into a fever, and Yoon-ji has to nurse him at night time. In his delirium, Seok-ji kisses Yoon-ji, however he wakes up the subsequent morning with out the fever — and the reminiscences of the previous night time. Ha! How dare he? Yoon-ji is a little bit awkward round Seok-ji now, and he notices. However as anticipated, she denies it as a result of she will be able to’t presumably inform him that she’s all flustered and bothered and disenchanted and aggravated as a result of he kissed her and forgot all about it. Heh.
Talking of which, Ji-hye tells Seok-ji to neglect about her confession and that they need to return to being simply buddies. However regardless of her try to hitch a solo experience to Seoul — for a academics’ convention — together with her “good friend,” Mr. Pal insists on giving Yoon-ji and Moon-soo a experience. Seok-ji additionally gives to drive his housemates again house after the convention, however when he calls Yoon-ji to see in the event that they’re carried out, Ji-hye rejects the decision, turns off the telephone and shoves it into her purse — all with out Yoon-ji’s information. Sigh. Some issues by no means change.
Yoon-ji finally ends up hanging out with Moon-soo after Ji-hye excuses herself, and we get a cameo of 10CM busking to his OST within the background as Moon-soo confesses to Yoon-ji. It’s been a number of years since their hospital rooftop incident, and Moon-soo says it’s not like he has been occupied with Yoon-ji all of the whereas. However the second he noticed her once more, he realized that he’d missed her for a very long time. These phrases hit Yoon-ji, and he or she realizes that she feels the identical method… about Seok-ji.
On their return to city, Yoon-ji tries to expel her ideas and emotions by operating laps across the faculty area, whereas Seok-ji dwells on Yoon-ji’s non-responses to his name — which painfully reminds him of her unreachable line 18 years in the past. Oh, Ji-hye, you’ll crumble for this! The week ends with our Ji-wons stepping into one other spherical of bickering, and Yoon-ji asks why Seok-ji needs to this point her by way of their guess. “So I can dump you,” he replies, and he’s speaking about payback for the Ji-hye-induced misunderstanding.
However so far as Yoon-ji is worried, neither relationship nor dumping will occur as a result of the lilacs gained’t bl… — oh expensive! The phrases are barely out of her mouth after they come nose to nose with the thing of their guess — which now stands majestic in full bloom! Yoon-ji is shocked, and Seok-ji is doubly shocked as a result of lilacs apart, his reminiscence of their kiss has additionally returned. Ohlala!
We’re making progress, guys! Our youthful Ji-wons barely had display time this week, and whereas I miss them, that is good for plot improvement. I used to be getting bored with grownup Ji-wons’ incessant bickering, and it’s good to have their relationship period to look ahead to subsequent week. I imply, they should abide by the guess, proper?
In different information, there’s this dude within the plot, JI KYUNG-HOON (Lee Seung-joon), and he’s like an administrative employees at Dokmok or one thing. Anyway, on the floor he’s very loyal to Grandpa Yoon — to the purpose of addressing him as “father” — however I’m not shopping for it. Kyung-hoon is suspicious, and I gained’t be shocked if he had one thing to do with Yoon-ji’s dad and mom’ accident and the embezzlement case that her dad was accused of.
There’s additionally the well being trainer/faculty nurse, HONG TAE-OH (Kim Jae-chul), and his suspicious relationship with a feminine scholar. My intestine says that she’s his child or niece or one thing, and possibly he’s cautious of romantic relationships as a result of he doesn’t need to burden anybody with stepmom duties. The woman must be household, proper? As a result of the opposite risk is so misplaced in a present like this. Anyway, the present appears to be organising one thing between him and Soo-ah, so, we will see.
