It Started with a Kiss killed me.
Sep. 24th, 2006 11:33 amAAAAAAHHHHHH! AHHHHH! I've been packing most of the night so decided to reward self by watching a certain rain scene I knew was in Episode 19 of It Started with a Kiss. I have no idea how it got to that point as I am only on Ep. 13 but
OH. MY. GOD.
I was literally screaming at the yet-unpacked TV.
But he ran looking for her everywhere in the rain and he was totally freaking out she'd say yes to Ah Jin's marriage proposal. And I felt so horrible for her standing in the rain with her umbrella thinking that she likes ZS and is an idiot and horrible.
And then he found her and he ran to her and OMG OMG, the look on his face. And he told her, very gently 'I am not your imagination' and she asked 'aren't you?' and he continued, still gently 'An apparition won't talk to you.'
And then he basically had this whole 'Are you going to marry Ah Jun' series of questions and he was so jealous and desperate and freaked out (btw, he is engaged to someone, whaaaaaa?) and she told him her answer has nothing to do with him. And she was telling him about her plans for future life and OMG the look on his face, he is so emotional and jealous he can't control himself and he is falling apart and sort of his own fault he lost her and yeah. He is having a huge meltdown. Also when he said she can't want someone like Ah Jun she said that Ah Jun liked her since Year 1 (of High school). To which he replied that can't be a reason to marry someone and then she said 'At least it's better than me who for five years liked someone who'd never like me back.'
And then OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG she starts to walk away and he grabs her 'You like me. You can't marry Ah Jun. You can only like me' and she looks up at him and tells him with a little sob in her voice 'Always so confident. Yes, I like you. But what can I do? You don't like me.'
And OMG OMG OMG. He just swoops her into this gorgeous, thorough, rain-soaked kiss. And her expression of disbelief ('can this amazing person really like me?') just kills me. And he tells her 'You can't like anybody else.'
And then he just holds her and they are both soaked to the bone (because in the preceeding fight he sort of pulled away her umbrella) and she says, with wonder in her voice 'This is the second time you kissed me' and he goes 'It is actually the third.' Heeeeeee (hospital kiss OMG!) And then he smiles and holds her tighter and tells her to stop counting. Well, soon she'll be in double digits so it's OK I suppose :P
And he is seven billion feet taller than she is and they both go to the house soaked and he asks her father's permission to marry her really seriously and says he wants to spend the rest of his life only with XQ and he is holding her really tight this whole time and he keeps saying 'I know' when her father is 'You know she can't cook blah blah' (listing all her faults) and he is holding her tighter and tighter and then the father says how despite all that XQ has an optimisting and caring character and he says 'I know' (eeee!) and then he turns to XQ after getting her Dad's permission and asks her 'XQ, are you willing to marry me?' and she nods. He is looking at her so possessively and it's SO FREAKING HOT and now I need to pack.
Snarky ZS is hot and all, but angsty determined possessive ZS is supernova :P
And OMG. He tells her he didn't realize how he felt until today. He didn't realize why he'd always lose control around her. And a lightbulb goes on in my head. So he didn't know he loved her. That explains so much.
OH. MY. GOD.

Now that you mention it, this is definitely true! Another reason I like it :)
I like that as soon as he realized what he felt he spoke up. And hey, his Mom was right, jealousy really is the best plan :P

I remember that lovely little scene where he is reading her love-letter to him and he is looking at her whilst she is asleep and thinking "How does it feel to like a person?". It is like XQ is not only a first serious feeling for him but his first feeling altogether. I love that scene!!!
And hey, his Mom was right, jealousy really is the best plan His mom is awesome. She is the best thing for me after the love-story itself.
His mom is truly awesome.

So true. It's like he's been robotic and frozen up until that time. And that's why he doesn't understand what he feels and how. It's all foreign language to him.

How many episodes do you have? 20? The version I am downloading at the moment has 30, but the episodes are slightly shorter the the ones I have downloaded from doramas.

Date: 2006-09-24 11:27 pm (UTC)The actual proposal scene... I was too busy watching the mother having an apopletic fit in the background and cracking up to pay much attention... Aww, but I love the scene afterwards, when she couldn't believe that he'd actually said what he'd said and he'd better feel bad about all the damage he's done to her self-esteem... Dude. (Keep watching, ep. 14 has one of my favorite moments)
Taking a cue from you, as I've been reliving ISWAK glee through your posts, I've been interspersing Silence eps. with favorite ISWAK moments. The fluff helps to make the heart-crushing-sadness much more bearable.

Date: 2006-09-25 02:33 am (UTC)Re: ISWAK. Agreed with every word. That scene in the rain is the first time we really see him lose composure and control like that. And afterwards when she is so unsure (in bed) I love the look on his face. It's as if he is 'OMG, what did Iput her through' as he is only now realizing how harsh he's been...

Date: 2006-10-03 10:43 am (UTC)i can never take the picture of zs saying aj's name when he asked xq if she'd already met him.
the way his jaw moved, the way his eyes expressed what he later admitted in eps20 as fear, the way even his nose twitched and his eyebrows stiffened....waaah... as you said "but angsty determined possessive ZS is supernova :P" i totally agree with you!
hahahaha!
i love every episode of iswak but nothing beats 12, 19, and 20!!!
waaaaaaaaah!
