dangermousie | Still CH 10

I think Undaddy and Prosecutor should both go jump off a bridge. Yoon Sung has his dying mother admitted to the hospital and is going to get tested to see if he's a compatible donor to save her and Undaddy is all "weak bastard, stop him from donation any means necessary." Sure, force the guy into letting his mother die. The same woman who was your best friend's wife and whose kid you kindapped. Die. Die. DIE! And Prosecutor is no better - all he wants is to get his mitts on the blood test, and be damned the fact that if they steal it, there will be nothing to test for a dying person's cure (best case scenario, it will take more time and time is crucial). Undaddy and Prosecutor should team up, both are soulless monsters who ignore humanity in their insane pursuit (and Prosecutor, is your itty bitty ego hurt? Shouldn't you be catching child rapists, murderers, terrorists, etc?)

Also, Mom can't die because that would be beyond cruel - not only did YS never got a childhood, but he'd never have a future with her then either? God, it killed me how her first worry was whether her illness was hereditary - for YS. Oh, Undaddy, you better tremble in your patent leather shoes. The moment YS finds out the truth about how you got your mitts on him, you are toast. He realizes the man's inhumanity and the true mess of his real reason for revenge (and pits himself against it, even as Undaddy threatens his life) but he doesn't know the true depths of Undaddy's monstrosity. How could he, he's sane.

I do love how sane Nana is - she always was the voice of normalcy for him, but is 1000x more so now that she has all the facts. The way she gets past his barriers about his mother to what really matters and the way she doesn't beat around the bush or allow their messed-up romantic dynamic to interfere, is amazing. And she uses her brain - from realizing he is not a murderer, to figuring out who his mother is, to knowing why he is pushing her away and getting past it. She is beyond amazing. And I love that what she sees as fitting revenge (on man who killed her parents) is what he sees as fitting revenge too - they both crave justice and truth, not really revenge. And yeah, he cannot stay away from her, even if he claims it's for work, or for training or even to force her to dislike him. Poor goner. Especially when she's so fearless and open with her love and warmth and he has had so little of it in his life. And she prevented that guy from following him. And saved him from Prosecutor at the end (no way can it now not be in the open that he's the City Hunter and she knows it. Next week, come sooner!)

On a random note, I love that wounds stick in CH. He got shot in ep 7 and as of ep 10 he's still hurt (I love when Nana freaked out when a random dude lightly touched his wounded arm. That should give you a clue, genius, that she's on to you). I also love that they keep mannerisms consistent - after finding out about his mother being ill (his facade is so thin, he yearns for her so), there he is. picking his fingers and nails again, like a kid.
