dangermousie | Faith episode 3 thoughts and caps

I continue more and more obsessed. This is pretty much my perfect drama in every way.

First of all, I posted on an early awesome scene here. Now, let's continue.

Eun Soo and sexy doctor bonding over medicine. Is it me, or is he starting to get attracted to her? Not that I blame him, Kim Hee Sun is gorgeous and how likely is it that he's ever met a woman more skilled in medicine than he is?

CY barely staying on his horse. Throughout the whole scene, I kept yelling for one of those royals to give space in the freaking palanquin to the guy who almost died taking care of you! I love that it doesn't even occur to them.

Queen and Eun Soo bonding. I could totally love this sismance. I also love the way the Queen keeps sneaking peeks at herself in the mirror - this is the first time she's truly seen herself.

The King and retinue coming to the court entirely empty of courtiers...I love how the King's reaction to all of it - his powerlessness, slap to his status, yet the feeling of homecoming - is all there without his needing to say a word. Kdramas love to beat you over the head and I love that this one doesn't.

Yesssss! The awesome blacksmith lady from Legend is in this! I love her!

She tries to check him for fever and he pushes her away, but almost collapses outside. There is self-sufficiency, and there is suicidal tendencies, and it's clearly the latter. Get over your guilt and let her treat you!

And he's burning up and literally producing energy. Ummm, maybe Eun Soo could charge her cellphone off him before he dies of septicemia?

They are very pretty together. I love that Philip Lee tries so very hard without any medical stuff we consider normal. I also love that this drama showcases how limited a modern surgeon would be without modern medicines and tools.

Awww, the flashback explains so much. Both why the King hates the Yuan (and by extension his wife) so much and also awwwww, he thought she was a fellow Korean hostage and liked her and offered to rescue her and asked her to marry him so she could hold him when he was scared. OMG. Not sure if he realizes his wife is the same person (in which case, I can see why he feels betrayed) or not (in which case yeah - it could be interesting). I can see why the Queen likes him - it must feel awful to know that if she wasn't Yuan, he could really fall for her. Only I did notice him staring so maybe he does like her? Hmmmm...

He watches her! I love the look in his eyes and the way he is totally flustered and averts his face when he sees her ankles and the way he watches her eating and the way asks the servant to protect her and seriously - most adorable thing ever.

Treating his own wound. That's real smart! Also, going by past pattern of LMH dramas, the closest we will get to a shirtless scene, so enjoy!

He resigns and shows the King the order from the past King which allowed CY to return to civilian life after he completed his last duty - delivering the new King to Goryo. In some ways, this is the most significant scene in the episode to me, because the fact that he wants to leave, to have a normal life is both heartbreaking and hopeful, hopeful that he hasn't given up on himself yet - after all, seeing that he became Woodalchi at such a young age and was in Korean take on ninjas for years before that, he probably never had a normal adult, or even adolescent life. And the King refuses, saying that if he completes one task for him (solving the ministers' murders), he'll consider it. What a pointless promise - 'consider it' means absolutely nothing. I can't particularly deny the logic of the King for abusing CY's honor and loyalty (especially since it's not the first time he's done so) and for using the best instrument he has, as he is in such dire straits, but I don't have to like him for it either. Also, dude just got stabbed in the abdomen a couple of days ago. While you are ordering him about and jerking his chain, are you even at all concerned/interested whether the guy is dying or not? King makes it pretty hard for me to like him.

Firstly, am not happy that CY's eyesight is blurring from how sick he is, - he's pretty much functioning on will-power and sheer stubborness by now. Get treatment, idiot, before you die! Secondarily, I love all the games between him and Ki Young - they are awesome to watch. And thirdly, it's official - I want Lee Min Ho to make out with everyone in the cast, Ki Young included.

Bwahahahaha, Eun Soo turned her pants into shorts because they tore, and everyone is mesmerized/freaked out by seeing legs!

Including our sexy on-the-brink-of-the-grave-but-maybe-not-quite-if-he's-ogling general. (Later he totally tells her to cover her legs. Heeeeee. Someone is freaking out and jealous :))

A gorgeous underdressed woman storms in past all the guards, demands you take off your shirt and demands your hand. Some men would consider it the ultimate fantasy. Poor CY just looks cornered. :P Joking aside, the following scene is my favorite in the episode, because he won't let her treat him and she cries that it's his fault she is not home and she just wants to be in her apartment and take a shower but she can't (and the guilty look on his face - it's clear why he doesn't want/feel he deserves treatment) and that since this isn't a dream, it means she stabbed someone and so she needs to make him better. And everyone leaves to give them privacy, and he tells her she should have left him to die, and she keeps worrying (and she does manage to get his pulse and temperature - to nobody's surprise, he's burning up) and he tells her if she'll keep talking about all the dire things that can happen to him, he'll close her lips properly (mmmm, please!) and there is pushing against the pillar and their chemistry is seriously insane and I love how fearless she is. But what really gets him is when she half-whispers 'don't die.' He really is the most connection/most familiar thing for her in this place. And I think it gets him because when is the last time someone cared so unguardedly, especially if that someone is a beautiful woman whom he wronged. Oh, and once she leaves, he collapses in pain, completing this ultimate h/c scene.
