Translation for Ep. 12 Written Preview

With Nana getting hit by a bullet, YoonSung in a state of urgency takes NaNa to SaeHee's but SaeHee does not have blood which makes her think of having Nana moved to a hospital but as that is not possible in the present situation YoonSung yells that he will give his own blood.
On the other hand, with KyungHee (YS's mother) gone and JinPyo knowing this, JinPyo must find her before YoonSung knows this...

OK, I am using Russian swearwords now, out of sheer insane overload of everything. YS is going to give his blood to Nana? This drama is truly written by my id. Also, it's reminding me of the infamous scene in Fushigi Yuugi with Tamahome and Hotohori dripping their blood from their veins literally into Miaka. Ahhh, good old time memories :)

Video preview (thanks Anon!):

Translation of dialogue, also from soompi:

Shik Jong Ahjussi: How can she be that pretty! My heart is going to burst!

Seems to be Kim Jong Shik's secretary's voice: There is someone who want to donate for the scholarship anonymously.

Kyung Hee: My name is Kyung Hee and I don't want my name to be known.

Jin Pyo: I'll take care of Kim Nana. We need to get rid (of her).

Yoon Sung: Save Nana!

Young Ju: It's not to late. Confess please.

Kim Jong Shik: I do not want to.

Young Ju: What if I bring to you the law's stance?

Yoon Sung: Why did you do that?

Jin Pyo: because it is our fate.

Yoon Sung: You ruined my life like this...I will never forgive you even if I die.

1. Undaddy, now you want to kill Nana? I want you to fucking die. You do realize YS will end you if you do that, right?

2. No, YS' Mom is donating to shady guy's college. Poor desperate ahjumma.

3. It looks like YS has learned the truth about his Mom (that's what I am extrapolating from the conversation, I don't think it's about Nana). Oh God. Oh God. Oh God.

HE'S GIVING HER BLOOD!!! I...I can't even express how into that I am. Seriously drama, there's making me obsessed with you and then there's making me crazy. DON'T EVER LEAVE MY LIFE, DRAMA.

I really hope YS finds out about his mom in ep 12 because I really just want him to get out from his father's control.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am also into it to an unhealthy degree. Please please let them show it.

I am not sure what I will do once this drama is over. I have not been this obsessed since Secret Garden or, more accurately, SKKS.

I really want YS to find out everything - I want him to fully realize what a monster Undaddy is and go against him, no holds barred.

[seven-trees.livejournal.com]

Oh please show, I NEED TO SEE THAT SCENE WITH MY EYES. PLEASE. That would be my new screensaver.

I was pretty obsessed with SKKS, but this is a whole other level of obsession for me. I was maybe this obsessed with Coffee Prince, but I think I'm into City Hunter a lot more. Probably because CP didn't have the heroine shooting the hero and then a few episodes later saving his dumbass and taking a bullet for him.

is it weird that today's episode + preview made it hard for me to breathe?

this drama hurts, but hurts so good.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am not sure how it is possible for a drama, instead of hitting middrama slump, to get better and better with each ep?

And Nana. So my heroine of the year. She is like Secret Garden's Gil Raim only tougher.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

honestly, if this was any other drama i would be worried, how is it possible that it gets better and better by each episode? HOW?! this actually scares me, makes me afraid about the last episodes, i feel like they'll ruin it.

she really is! my love for her only increased! she was such a ninja monkey woman made of ‘badassness’ and heart!

i feel like kissing the writers.

[junmaolove.livejournal.com]

NEVER HAD A DRAMA BEEN THIS GOOD!!!!! Making my heart swell with happiness then break it into tiny little pieces yet I'm coming back for more.....

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It is the most perfect thing I've seen in years.

[junmaolove.livejournal.com]

SKKS was the last one I was addicted to. YS reminded me of MJS who pwned my heart. <3 As much as I spazz about it, I was never this crazy as I do watching CH.

[sanaenam.livejournal.com]

I'm disappointed that they made Undaddy such a flat character. There has to be a more interesting way to show how revenge can thoroughly warp a person's perspective and thereby the person. Him being just evil... It's such a waste of Kim Sang Joong's talent!! Meh.

Just when Nana's character is finally what I imagined it ought to be.

That said, did anyone else think today's episode would entail a farewell to Shikjoong Ajussi? Jomjomajomajoma... Whew!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am so glad Shikjoong is OK. He better survive the drama!

I actually like that Undaddy is a bigger monster than the men they hunt. That's about the only revenge kdrama I've seen take that tack and I find this corruption of the soul more realistic than weary but noble avengers kdramas are so fond of.

Plus, it sets up an interesting conflict for YS - sure, Undaddy is evil, but the targets are evil too.

[sanaenam.livejournal.com]

I too like Undaddy losing his humanity as a result of his desire for revenge (and the challenges it poses for YS).

But I no longer see the motivation. I don't feel the corruption of the soul itself. The metaphor of the train/car with broken brakes carries only so far. The show is telling rather than showing me that the train/car's brakes have gone awry. Something's missing to make his bloodlust meaningful. A logic that has internal coherence, but so thoroughly and obviously warped the moment one looks at it from the outside.

I'm trying to think of past kdrama villains who were so thoroughly rich - a bit of President, a bit of Giant, definitely Story of Man - or even non-kdrama villains. I've definitely come across such characters somewhere, but I'm too tired to recall any easily.

All in all, given the talent portraying Jinpyo, I feel that this could have been another rich vein that the drama could have tapped to make the show and YS's travails even more meaningful.

[amandioka.livejournal.com]

At this point, I just want undaddy to be killed by YS. WTH is wrong with him!???

I'm so happy because there's no way YS can ignore Nana after this, even if it's to protect her.

This wins best drama of the year award for me, period.
I just wish I'd waited until it finished airing so I could watch it all in one go... I gulped down the first 6 episodes in one day. Now I can't help but watch it raw when it's available... damn those cliffhangers. I'm almost afraid of how episode 12 will end... how will I survive one week of waiting??

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Undaddy gave away all of his humanity - he's completely lost sight of what revenge is for - does he think his dead friend would be remotely OK with what he is doing?

A part of me wishes I had the entirety to binge on but the other part likes the agony of anticipation.

[amandioka.livejournal.com]

Didn't YS tell him at some point that he's not taking revenge for his father anymore, but for himself? I think watching his friends die in front of him knocked something loose inside his head... not that it's any excuse. Either he's going to see the wrong of his ways and die protecting YS, or YS will kill him to protect Nana... My predictions are so cliche, I'm willing to bet this drama will surprise us with this resolution too.

BTW, I don't think there is any woman out there watching this episode that didn't love the scene where Nana came to the rescue. She kicked some serious ass!!

I know! Sometimes it's just as much fun to watch it along with everyone, even if it means agony.

[iheartkleenex.livejournal.com]

I feel like I am being pulled into 50 different directions right now. I can't take this. There's Nana, and evil undaddy (it rubbed off on my so I am calling him that) and YS and his mom, and then just YS alone.

I don't know but I feel pretty positive about the ending of the drama. It wouldn't make sense to kill either one of them after what they have been though. Although, that is the exact same thing I said about IRIS and look how well that ended.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I was hopeful about IRIS too and look at it. People who say 49 Days burned them clearly weren't around for the Hong Gil Dong and IRIS days :)

[birdofpray09.livejournal.com]

On one hand I don't TRULY believe that Nana will be killed off, but like lots of people have mentioned, this is one drama in which the death of the heroine halfway through could actually be narratively justified. Which- I mean, whatever. I don't care about narrative flow at this point, I just want Nana and Yoon (and Ahjussi!) alive, healthy, and together at the end of the drama. If the writer has to pull out some deus ex machina to make it happen, I would not even care. THAT'S how emotionally invested I've become in these characters- Jin Pyo could swallow a magic bean, abandon his revenge plan and move to the Bahamas, AND I WOULD NOT CARE as long as Yoon Sung and Nana were happy.

So although I really don't think Nana will be offed, the drama is well-executed enough to make me nervous about it, which just shows how excellent this drama is. But I just cannot WAIT until Yoon Sung finds out that daddy dearest is making attempts on Nana's life. I'm imagining what he did to Kim Jong Shik's man times a hundred.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I really do want to see how YS will react to end of ep 12 - because he still somehow views the man as a father but whatever shreds remained after finding out about Mom have to be done by the end of ep 12.

[momosan.livejournal.com]

AGGGHHH!!! Holy cow, this show is gonna be the death of me.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

My fixation is getting a bit unhealthy.

[smothered-pith.livejournal.com]

WOW. 42 Comments. This drama is insane and making the rest of us even more insane.

I can't watch the new episode for another 8 hours at least. I don't know HOW I'm supposed to study like this!

Spoiler pictures are looking absolutely delicious though!!

Like you said Nana's my number 1 heroine of they ear. Possible EVER!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ep 12 was sooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

[spunspider.livejournal.com]

HOLY. EVERLOVING. SHIT.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]
