A Gentleman's Dignity episode 16 - a few favorite scenes

[dangermousie]

This episode made me beyond happy...



First, let's get all the non-Yi Soo/Do Jin stuff out of the way. Tae San and Sera finally make up! Awwwww! I confess when he told her "come into my arms," I melted like butter. I know a lot of people don't care for them, but I love them. In part because I am more like Sera than I am like any of the other ladies in this.




















A little Jang Rok/Min Suk cuteness...






And now, on to the main course! I loved the picnic scene with unholy love. I wrote about it earlier, so all I am going to say is I love how she is fearless emotionally now and how she addresses every one of his insecurities, and OMFG his face throughout this whole scene. A woman could die happy if she had someone look at her with that look in his eyes...
















































Such a lovely, aching mirror of an earlier scene. Love her silent crying and his pain at it. Also love that she is so take-charge now, such a role reversal.














!!!!!! Speaking of parallels, now she is deliberately recreating his earlier proposal - the shoes, the kneeling, even the speech. OMFG!!!! It's perfect, just as it was perfect when he did it to her, because it combines unwavering love with conveying lack of pressure and utter certainty of patience.






































It's interesting to me, how theirs is such a relationship of equals - they both got to be the chaser and the chased, the guilty party and the angry party, the passive and the leader. I think it's actually good the whole Colin thing had happened because prior to that, it wasn't fully equal - it would always be 'how lucky is Seo Yi Soo, at 35, she landed a good-looking, well-off, eligible guy' and now they are fully equals (and let's face it, I adore Do Jin, but a little of his own arrogance could stand to be taken off and now it has).
