dangermousieOh God.
I had to pause Green Rose because I couldn't stop crying.
Frell.
You poor darlings.
That scene with Jung-Hyun and Soo-Ah where she comes to visit him in prison, after his mother killed herself (the scene with Soo-Ah finding the body and crying the way a child does is heartbreaking). And he still has the bandage from when he recieved news of his mother's death and he just methodically started hitting his head against the stone floor.
And Soo-Ah is crying and telling him the burial will be done properly and she shows him the rings for the two of them Mom made from her own wedding ring.
And OMG.
He finally looks up, with this set look on his face, and tells her everything is her fault. His mom's death, his being in jail. And as she looks at him, uncomprehending, he tells her, steadily, stonily: "I did it." And he tells her he killed the groundskeeper and tried to kill her father, and set the place on fire. And she is falling apart, she can't take it in, and she is asking him 'you are saying this for my sake, to free me' (which of course he is) but he doesn't even respond to that, but he looks at her (and he looks so scary, I want to take a step back) and starts talking in detail and then just repeating 'I did it.'
And then the visit is over and she literally stumbles out. And then...
OMG...
OMG...
OMG...
He is led away by the guards, and he is in the prison hallway, and his knees buckle, and he literally faints, because he cannot deal.
And it intercuts between him and Soo-Ah, stumbling like the legs aren't her own, and then just collapsing in a heap by a car, as she looks around blindly.
And he is just lying, catatonic, in his cell.
OMG.
And she is going to believe him.
OMG.
And he has no will to live now, because he just cut off the last thing in his life. Earlier he told his Mom he was going insane, thinking that he was innocent and that if only he could get out, he'd prove it. Well, he is much worse off now. Poor darling.
OMG.
This is goooooooooooooooooood.
ETA: OMG, they let him out for his mother's funeral (with guards) and the relatives are hitting him and then he sees his mother's body and he collapses on his knees and he is making this noise which is...whimpering. Like an animal or a very small child in pain, and I sort of curl my hands into the pillows.
OMG.
ETA: And now I hyperventilate.
And Soo-Ah is at the wake and she begs him to tell her it's untrue, to tell him he is just trying to save her, again, but he is all shut off and he tells her 'the truth' which is he knew she was the Chairman's daughter and that is why he risked his life to save her in the mountains, and he wanted her because she was beautiful and rich, and her dad insulted him and he is sorry etc. And there is enough truth mixed with the lies, there, to make it plausible. And OMG, you can see the exact moment she believes him. Lee Da Hae is amazing as Soo-Ah.
And then Jung-Hyun is scattering the ashes, and he is shaking and his hands clench and OMG, Go Soo is soooo good as this man way over the edge.
And then he begs the cops to let him go, to prove his innocence because his mother died to give him the chance, but they won't so there is a struggle and he escapes and OMG OMG OMG...
I love this show with crazy love. It's going into my Top 10, for sure.
