City Hunter - liveblogging ep 17

dangermousieYes, still addicting.
Awww, YS and President are bonding - you can see the exact moment YS thinks 'this is a good person.' And the thing is, President is the only one of the five who feels remorse but still, even without the added 'and he is your father' angle, YS is going to feel horrible when he learns he has to bring the man down, because he likes and respects him. I wonder if this was part of Undaddy's plan all along - to make them like each other, before bringing the hammer down. For extra fun. His snarl that he is going to get the 'cruelest revenge in the world' back in ep 1 now makes so much more sense. And the little connection hits me - YS got brains from his Dad. (Also, the irony of Pres wanting to show of pics of his son to YS!) Also, LOL at Pres needing help to upload pics to a blog. I am sure we all had that convo with our parents.
Pres refers to Da Hye being egged and you can just see YS thinking of Nana.
It strikes me (and I am sure it struck me before, but it does so again) how fundamentally kind a person YS is. And that is after basically having spent his whole life with Undaddy trying to turn him into an unfeeling killer. The fact that he has any humanity left in him after his life being one long streak of brutality, is pretty impressive, but the fact that he's still kind...It just kills me, how happy and adjusted he could have been if Undaddy was man enough to do his own revenge and left him with his mother.
Awww, Kyung Hee made Nana an embroidered handkerchief. And is gently nagging about her not coming to the hospital (which Nana is doing per YS' wishes). See, YS, you cannot cut your personal and your mission entirely separate. Especially not from Nana, she's entwined in your life - you let her in and that means she's never really coming out.
It's fun to see Undaddy and Target 4 try to outmaneuvre each other. If we were lucky, the two monsters would off each other, but sadly, I am sure that is not to be.
Da Hye and YS interactions really crack me up now that we know they are most likely sibs. They totally do read like a spoiled younger sis and exasperated but cool older bro. Awww.
Man. Pres' security is kinda worthless if they let Undaddy take his swordstick through.
Aaaaahhhhh! Someone shoots paint at the Pres (freaking everyone out as they don't realize it's paint right away - I bet it's Undaddy) and Nana jumps to shield him without even thinking and gets it all over her chest and I am struck by the same thought YS apparently is - if it was a bullet, she'd be dead. Her job is more dangerous than YS' is, in some ways.
The handkerchief! Nana gives him one KH made for her, to wipe himself, and he totally recognizes the stitching!!!
Oh God, YS thinks Undaddy did this to get Nana (and tells him they have nothing to do with each other any more). I just want to hug the boy because he has no idea...
Oh please, don't let Nana think YS did that little 'prank.'
Omo! Pres has exactly the same handkerchief Nana has. If there was any doubt, not that there was, that YS is his son, it's gone now. Also, if he kept a handkerchief she made all these years, he must have been really stuck on her, hmmm.
Nana tells KH that Pres asked her about who made it and whether she can tell him (I love our Nana, she always thinks!) and KH says no and comes up with a bs excuse but you can see Nana's gears start turning. Just as she was the one who discovered YS was KH's son, I really hope she will figure out Ys is Pres and KH's son and lets him know before it's too late. I'd love for her to defeat Undaddy's machinations.
Eeeek! So KH was a bar girl (which we knew) and she and Pres had an affair (I guess he was married at the time) and Target 4 showed up with cash and was all "he wants to throw away his family and his future for you, disappear and abort the baby!" and threatened her life (why do I feel as if we suddenly got transferred onto the set of Giant?) and it turned out Pres never knew about the baby, eeee. Interesting. Whether KH was married to MY when she slept with Pres and got pregnant or (much more likely), MY married her afterwards to protect her and her unborn baby, Pres knowingly gave the order to have the husband of the woman he loved killed, even if for reasons utterly unconnected with the marriage. Twisted!
Undaddy is officially nuts. He's all "BFF, you saved KH who was preggers and saved YS and said you'll raise him well even if he isn't your own. Can you understand me?" How about no???? You fucking psycho who wrecked both KH and YS' lives. And then Undaddy is all "if you can't understand, I am still continuing." Well, hooray for self-awareness that you are a giant psycho freak, too bad you are not doing anything about it.
Oooh, and now KH made the same handkerchief for YS (clearly she knows only one pattern :P) i smell a future plot point!
YS keeps flashing back to Nana getting shot. Maybe this will get through to him that he doesn't have to worry about her mourning him because she might die too? Not the cheeriest reason to get back together, but at this point I'll take what I can get.
Awww, he bolts with some excuse just so he can see her walk by (she doesn't see him) just to reassure himself she's OK even though he objectively knows she is OK.
Drug dealer, you have some nerve to talk about rot!
Pres knows he could end this if he just exposed the 1983 incident but while he's a nice person, he's weak and he hasn't and he won't (now because he has Undaddy's stated 'don't you dare' but honestly because he's a coward - he could nip the impending tragedy in the bud if only he spoke up).
Blablabla Prosecutor, you are boring me. Also, we are 29 minutes in and there has been zero Nana/YS interaction. I demand a refund!
I seriously dig YS and Da Hye's interactions so much - they crack me up (and he asks about Nana, aww).
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I think Da Hye's crush now got transferred to the Prosecutor. LOLOLOLOLOL. As YS' reaction indicates,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
meganbmoore is totally right that YS would be an overprotective oppa :P
Awww, I really loved the scene btw YJ and Nana. When he's not on his City Hunter monomania kick, he's quite a lovely person. But am I bad for wanting YS to see them together and angst?
YS now has his own memento box, with the bullet necklace and the ring. Oh, you are so far gone, boy!
THANK YOU, SAE HEE!!!! She calls YS over because Nana drank too much and, to nobody's shock, Mr. "We should stay away from each other forevah!!!" pretty much shows as fast as he can get there. And then he carries her all the way home (I bet so that he could have an excuse to be with her longer and to have an excuse to have her in his arms) and puts her to bed and tucks her in (be awake and sober, Nana! So I can have an epic make-out I am yearning for!)
"What made you drink alcohol? Because of me? I am pretty dumb, aren't I? I told you to let me go but I can't stand it." YESSSSS! Be selfish, YS, pleaaaaase! But then we knew just as much as he did that he is the one who really can't stay away, that is why he asked Nana to be in charge of the stay-away business.
"I can't send you to another man but I can't keep you by my side either." ARGH!!! Your freaking nobility fit will be the death of me, YS. I DEMAND A MAKE-OUT!!!!
"Kim Nana, don't be in pain." And he touches her hair and leaves. And she opens her eyes! Was she awake the whole time???
Hmmm, Pres has a reason for delaying the reveal of the sweep? It's going to come back to bite you, dude.
Every time Pres and YS bond, it's so lovely but it's killing me! Also, YS' comment that Pres is a good father is so bitterly ironic and is going to come back to haunt them later. And Pres' reply that YS' father must be even better - oooof. Yeah, well, he kidnapped him, trained him as a weapon, mistreated him (seriously, what he did to him is child abuse by any definition), took away his future and happiness and now plans to have him kill his birth father. Pass the "Dad of the Year" award please.
Noooo, don't save Undaddy and expose your cover, YS! Though when he flipped YS over, that was the most satisfaction I felt in the last couple of eps. In your face, jerk!
Great, now the head of security suspects him.
It's pretty fun to watch Undaddy fight thugs sent to kill him. If he was younger and not limping or train himself instead of making YS do his dirty work he'd do better though. I have no idea if we are supposed to feel sorry to see him get beaten but all I can work up is "ehhhh" with a side of joy.
And then YS shows up to save him, standing back to back (and proving once again Lee Min Ho is freakishly tall :P) and all I can think of is "argh, Four's flunkie now knows who you are!!!!"
Tbh, while I liked this ep, this was not my favorite of all the eps - it didn't have enough angsty Yoong Sung, fighting, ahjusshi, and YS/Nana, which are my favorite things about the drama.
