dangermousieAs I said, I am obsessed.
I find Cinderella Unni a tremendously moving experience overall - it's a drama that taps directly into my emotions in a very unusual, almost irrational. way - very few dramas do that (the last to do that was IRIS and the last before that Worlds Within. The 3 dramas have nothing in common except that ability to drown me in feeling).
But what is the moment that moved you most of all in the past 4 eps?
For me, despite all the amazing scenes everyone raves about and which I love too (the hair scene, the letter, the not-hug) the scene which moved me most is a very small, quite one.
It's merely a four-word exchange that occurs between Ki Hoon and Eun Jo when he is treating the cuts on her legs from the beating she received from her stepfather:
Ki Hoon: Does it hurt?
Eun Jo: Yes.
I felt so moved I wanted to cry. It's such a quick, quiet little exchange but it's so huge - emotionally. Eun Jo is a girl who never lets down her barriers and shows her weakness. Ever. She is the girl who walked without limping when she cut her knee as long as anyone was there to see her. She sat without moving or crying out when it was stitched. She did not emit any signs of weakness in what we saw in her former dysfunctional life. She stood unmoving as stepfather beat her legs into pulp, rather than apologize or even flinch.
This is the first (and only) time we have seen her admit weakness and pain to another person. The mask slips and the barriers come down for Ki Hoon. "Yes" is such a little word but so huge emotionally, here.
You?
