dangermousieI was going to wait with IRIS to watch the last 4 eps in a binge. But I cannot - I have never been able to resist.
So I started episode 17.
You know, no matter how much I love everything and everyone else about this, for me it's all about Hyun Joon. I see him here and all I can think of is "what a beautiful, strong-willed but completely damaged mess." He is in another universe from the adorable, sweet, flirty adrenaline junkie of the beginning. It's like he's been taken apart into his component parts and never properly put back together.
Even if by some improbable luck, both he and Seung Hee survive all this and are together by the end, I think he is not fixable, not ever. What he'd really need is about a decade of therapy to even get him to function normally.
And speaking of the OTP, their reunion in ep 17 is just...oh God, there are no words for how hard I ship them.
In the middle of gun battle with terrorists, he is about to be shot and there is nothing he can do:
And then...
Yes. Seung Hee managed to get there, in the middle of gun battle, and save her man. Oh God. and then in the middle of it all, they exchange looks:
I love how bleak it is when they win:
Being interrogated and asked about Sa Woo:
Provided the writers do not fuck it up in the last 2 eps, these two are my favorite kdrama OTP ever. And if they kill her, I...I...I don't know what I will do. If/when he achieves his revenge, I think she is the only thing standing between him and a complete nervous breakdown. And to lose her twice! And what if they don't kill Seung Hee but kill Hyun Joon? If they kill him, I won't say anything. Because I'd be too busy planning how to hunt down whoever is responsible. NO.
Oh, there are no words for how much I love this drama! It's in my top 5 kdramas of all time. You know, I've seen comments that what's the point of making/watching this - shouldn't you watch Alias/24/etc instead. That strikes me as absurd - it's like asking what is the point of watching a romantic kdrama - don't they have the newest Kate Hudson flick on tv? I watch this for the same reason I watch anything else from anywhere else - I love the characters and the angst and the clever plot and the writing.
ETA: Also - am I going insane or was Baeksan implying that Hyun Joon was framed, discarded, and put through all those levels of hell because he dared to date Seung Hee? WTF is going on!!!!!

GOD! They have to be happy in the end, no one deserves it like they do! But I just don't see how Hyun Joon will ever be himself again.
