dangermousieOh fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, Undaddy has found out Nana and YS' living arrangements. And is in Nana's house. And he saw the bullet necklace. Quick, quick, where is garlic and holy water? Oh God, every second I see him sitting in the house, I am more and more terrified. She made him tea! Is he going to finish it over her remains or something?
Oh my God, and when he smiles that dead smile when YS comes running in, freaked out of his mind - unclean unclean get thee behind me satan!
"Because of you, that girl could die." Aww, Undaddy, you are all heart, threatening your son's OTP and all to blackmail him into becoming a good automaton assassin. Sweetness and light you are. Go fucking die. (I kinda love how he's almost relieved to find out about Nana because it makes more sense in his psycho world-view that YS would interfere with murder of even the guilty and certainly deaths of innocents out of a 'selfish' reason and not because of right-and-wrong - but Undaddy is so wrong - even if he didn't love Nana, he'd do exactly what he had done).
YS found her earring - poor guy, that's all of hers he can allow himself. Honestly, he wants so little, it's heartbreaking he can't have it (when he types in 'bring me coffee' and deletes it before sending it. My heart.) When Ahjusshi later comments that living with Nana was the first time YS started laughing for real - stop breaking my heart, drama!
YS doesn't think Nana has figured out he's the City Hunter. Oh my very-very-very dense darling! Ha. Well, actually she was only suspicious until she saw you asleep on her couch (I loved that the common-sense thing to do would be not to say good-bye in person but he simply can't do that) and covered half your face like during the incident and recognized for sure. I love her gasp of acknowledgement. How I love that this drama doesn't drag things.
Oh, it must be killing him to say all those awful things to her about how he just kissed her because she was easy and this is boring blahblahblah and it might have worked to push her away except she figured out the truth so she knows he saved her life twice, once even after she shot him, despite his rescues interfering with his targets etc. Good luck, YS, in convincing her she doesn't matter to you.
"I can't love. That's my fate." No, YS, it's not fate, it's your psycho Undaddy. Seriously, a targeted grenade, anyone?
Damn, Undaddy, you are the biggest monster in this story. Don't you realize killing two innocent cops who were only doing their duty makes you no different from the men you want revenge on. Worse - they at least had geopolitical peace in mind, you are doing it for vengeance that will bring nobody back.

Urgh, and YS and Mommy issues :|

When YS does find out about this, he's going to be completely heartbroken that Undaddy let it get THIS far and still wouldn't tell him the truth.
Like if YS wasn't such a good human being, he might have never have known and could potentially have walked away from his mother.
It might be the breaking point of the Dad-Son relationship though.
That's actually what I've been wondering. He DID get that operation but if he's comatose, it could happen whenever. I have a feeling they are holding back on that for plot purposes. Hopefully when there's a happy break in all this angst?
Sorry for the long post!

Date: 2011-06-27 12:31 pm (UTC)You know what struck me as so heartbreaking?insofar as this revenge is personal to YS, it is because (as he told Undaddy), if it wasn't for his father being murdered, he'd be able to have a normal life and childhood as opposed to being trained into kid assassin who is not allowed to love anyone. BUT. That is not true. The reason he can't have normalcy and happiness is not because of the Council of Five, it's because of Undaddy. If it wasn't for him kidnapping YS, it's pretty clear his Mom would have brought him up with loads of love and warmth. It's Undaddy he should want rvenge on, not the five politicians.
I bet YS is going to feel so guilty about how he acted towards his Mom and what he thought, once he finds out the truth. Poor guy.

I actually watched Ep 1 yesterday which I'd skipped the first time and it struck me as odd that UnDaddy chose NOT to kill the now-Pres. when he had the chance. I know he wouldn't have gotten the names of the other 4 then but he would have found out eventually and could have finished the job himself. It would have given YS and his mom a free pass.
Why take on this much investment to mold a little boy into a killing machine instead of doing it yourself?
