Awesomeness happens, that's what.
"And now I am going to do...this."

Episode 8 of Prosecutor Princess was pure perfection. We had (1) kissing (2) piggybacks (3) grocery shopping (4) cooking and eating together (5) nightmare-soothing. Plus a heck of a lot plot and character development.
Kissing. I think I totally died. He so loses control around her - the only time it happens is around her.








The piggy-backing scene was beyond adorable - her heel breaks and he gives her his shoes and walks barefoot (he tells her it's either that or being piggybacked) but then he cuts his foot so she gives him his shoes back and he carries her (even though she doesn't know it till later but his foot is badly cut. AWWWWW).

He tells her she should get dinner but there is nothing in her fridge except salad (seriously - she is a few steps away from an eating disorder) so he takes her shopping and in addition to food buys all sort of kitchen and other household implements. Awwww. I also love she notices he is limping and secretly buys him medicine. I love his face when she gives it to him!

She cooks him ramen (the whole process is hilarious - he is so picky) and sits there eating her lettuce + tomato but I love how he very unobtrusively gets her to eat real food (i.e. ramen) for once. I love that he gets her to eat like a human being - makes her comfortable enough to eat normally, and this isn't the first time (I think he is literally the only character we've seen her interact with who hasn't tried to control/joke/comment about her needing to watch her weight/reference her past as an obese girl).

And then he falls asleep on her couch and has a horrible nightmare about an accident victim (I bet it was his Mom!) and she soothes his nightmares. SQUEE.





This ep is a huge turning point because Ma Hyeri finally realizes that there is something really weird about all the 'coincidences' that keep throwing her in In Woo's path and that there is something truly off going on. And of course all the delicious angst on In Woo's part because he has so fallen in love with Hyeri but she is basically the one woman he cannot have. My hypothethis is currently that Hyeri's Dad ran over In Woo's Mother in a car accident back when In Woo was in 6th grade (that is why he was having a freak-out recreating the car accident Hyeri was investigating and then had that nightmare) but because he was powerful/rich, he got off with no trouble. And In Woo and Hyeri knew each other as kids (maybe they were even neighbors?) His father took In Woo to America where he met and became good friends with Jenny. And now he is back to wreck vengeance on Hyeri's father using the fact that Hyeri's father builds those not-up-to-code buildings and has a shady relationship with some official. And he wants to use Hyeri in this scheme because she is a prosecutor (because he thinks he can get close to her and manipulate her and because it would be the best revenge to have the guy brought down by his own daughter). But he feels bad for Hyeri because it's not her fault so a huge reason he's nice to her isn't for manipulativeness but because he feels this is a sort of a compensation for what will happen later. And then he falls for her. Ooops. Anyway, that is my hypothethis. I still have no idea how the soju-stand owner lady fits into all this.
ETA: Also caught up on eps 9-10 of Oh My Lady. Liked 10 even if 9 had me a bit antsy but ohhh, my fluff-fest is turning angsty - do not approve. I need my fluffy drama!
