Loveholic: eps 4 and 5

dangermousieIs anyone actually reading these? If so, I am impressed!
Umm. Loveholic? How come you just keep getting better.
It took me a little time to get adjusted to time jump but now I have and the squeeing? You would not believe.
If you don’t trust this vague description of its awesomeness, then how about this: remember the scene in Veronica Mars where Veronica is crying in the shower post Logan break-up? Not replace Veronica with a very pretty Asian boy. YEAH.
So, when we first left off our unlucky lovers, Kang Wook was being taken away to prison, and Yool Joo was sitting on the park bench, repeating his magic spell over and over, as if to wake up from the nightmare of it all.
If you think that is them at their angstiest, just you wait (I do love that all the angst doesn’t seem too over the top because it all stems from one act: that kid’s death, and the set-up has been thoroughly established).
Fast forward five years, as we get reintroduced to our characters. The Prosecutor (whom I seriously adore. I know KW/YJ are the otp but I hope he finds a nice woman to love and marry and have kids with) is out catching crooks, being all detectivy and alpha. Ja Kyung is a radio announcer, successful and strong and well-off (she is likewise awesome. This has to be the first drama I liked all four people in a love quadrangle).
And what about our poor woobies? Yool Joo is not teaching any more. She is a manager in an upscale, swanky restaurant. She is still seeing the Prosecutor, and has even gotten engaged to him, a year ago. She is sadder, wiser, somehow muted, incomplete. Fragile. But proficient at her job and all around neat. And today is the day Kang Wook is getting released out of jail.
Whoa, Mama. No one should look that good. With his cargo pants and black shirt and beanie and cheekbones of death? I really hope Korean prisons are different from American ones, otherwise he would have had a really really hard time and not because of missing his lurve.
And there is a car pulling up, as he is striding along, enjoying being outside. And in the car? IT IS NOT YOOL JOO!!! ‘Wtf’ went I? Doesn’t his love seem to care he got out? Didn’t she say she wouldn’t get tired? Wtf is he unsurprised she isn’t there? Huh? But the drama, being a good little thing, explains it later.
Ja Kyung picks him up, there is cool friendly banter and she takes him home to grandma and it’s all awesome and fun and he is grinning about finding a wife as they stuff him with food etc etc etc.
But not all is rosy in Kang Wook’s world. In fact, his world is basically now Korea-wide version of the treatment he used to receive from the evil teacher: he is viewed with suspicion, as worthless, unemployable (he gets a job and then they find out about his record and fire him), scum. There is a sad little scene where he sees a purse-snatcher take off with someone’s purse and chases after him but the purse snatcher manages to secrete the money from the purse before it all, and the lady drags Kang Wook into the police station, accusing him of working with the snatcher and finding out he has a record goes ‘of course’ and starts shrilly insisting they strip search him (only if I get to watch, old hag!)
And then of course, there is the matter of Yool Joo. I really like that the narrative isn’t fully linear at that point, because watching their interactions during the relapsed five years would have been incredibly wearying. In a good way, but still. We get what happened between them, and why she didn’t pick him up and why he didn’t expect her to, through little fragments of memory of the two of them.
He really meant it when he wanted her to forget him, so we find out that she’s been requesting visiting and he’s been denying it for almost a year but finally she manages to break through to him (by being awesomely unreasonable). I have to say this for YJ: it must have taken enormous guts to keep coming and coming even though you knew you would most likely be rejected again. So they have their meeting, with plexiglas between them, and it’s all so poignant and great and my favorite moment is when she does that little gesture of touching her heart (something he did earlier) and you see him clench his hands on his shirt to prevent himself from doing the same.
And from then on, she keeps visiting and of course you know he wants to see her so badly, his resolve isn’t really working for him. At least until, her father shows up. Shows up to beg Kang Wook to break up with his daughter (and I can’t say I blame him). And shortly after father dies. Somehow, through kdrama rules, Kang Wook actually gets day parole (with a cop there of course) to observe the funeral and he sees YJ and her mother just weep horribly, utterly broken, and then some gang people show up because father apparently owed them money or something so they won’t let the burial go forward without payment or similar. And KW just instinctively starts down the hill and the cop has to bodily restrain him and go ‘are you crazy? You’ll get 10 more years blah blah’ so KW is helpless and he sees the Prosecutor bf and a bunch of other people arrive and kick out the gangsters. And I think that is the moment it truly sinks in, irretrievably, that he is helpless to take care of her, and the Prosecutor isn’t and for Kang Wook it has always been about YJ.
So…OMG. OMG. OMG.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alexandral, you know how you said you love the thing where the guy pushes the girl away to protect her even though it kills him? YES. Indeed. Because she comes for her next visit and he tells her that her father came and he hated it and it made him want to strangle him blah blah and of course she is horrified because her father just died so she tells him that fact and OMG. OMG. OMG. Kang Wook looks straight at her and says “Well, then I suppose he didn’t make it to heaven.”
Fuck.
He really does know where to hit.
And she just freezes and tells him she won’t overlook this, even if it’s him and then he tells her to never come again, and this totally horrible scene follows where he basically shouts at her to never ever come back and just starts hitting his head against the glass blah blah.
Awfulness all around. And then, in a very A Love to Kill way, we see YJ balancing on a ledge, shoeless, seriously contemplating whether to jump off. But (and that is why I love her), she doesn’t. Instead she requests one final meeting with KW and very quietly and composedly tells him that she’s just come to say good-bye and she won’t come any more etc etc the end. And all he says is ‘Thank you.’
Meeeeep.
Btw, in case we are in doubt this is killing him, we get this bit with him sitting in the cell singing that lullaby she sang to him at the top of his lungs. Cheerfulness all around.
But you know what I really love about both Kang Wook and Yool Joo? They might be willing to sacrifice a great deal for love, but they aren’t useless dishrags without it. Yool Joo goes on to work, have a career, try to rebuild her life with the Prosecutor. She is not slashing her wrists in the bathroom however empty she is. And Kang Wook? He is also capable of smiling, of enjoying being with Ja Kyung and his Grandma, of pursuing his new goal of becoming a Chef (apparently he took classes in prison. I wonder if this is related to his happiest memory being of him and YJ being in Seoul and the pure peace of her cooking for him?)
So yeah. They function. But they are empty. So, when will they finally meet? We get one brief, beloved of kdrama moments when they pass by each other on the street, not seeing. But when they finally meet (which will climax into my favorite scene in the drama so far), it’s because KW goes to see the Prosecutor-fiancé because Prosecutor wants to ask him for some info about some past cellmate of his. And as KW walks out, YJ is coming up, to see Prosecutor (did I mention the brief scene when KW’s eyes go to the Prosecutor’s desk where YJ’s photos are? Aaaangst).
And so, they see each other. And they stand, frozen. EEEEE!
And then the Prosecutor comes out and next thing we know, the three of them are having dinner from hell at some swanky place. Ohhh poor woobies. They clearly believe the other has forgotten them/doesn’t want them any more. The conversation is completely stilted. YJ asking him about his Grandmother (twice!) or telling him about being engaged is about as chatty as it gets. Throughout it all, he just keeps devouring her with his eyes (OMG, this drama is really big on UST and angsty emo stares of hotness) and she looks everywhere but at him. Then, the Prosecutor has to leave and the conversation breaks down completely. KW rises shortly after and tells YJ that he wanted to see her once, so he is glad, and walks out. With more of those patented stares. Into the pouring pouring rain storm the likes of which would get Bollywood to bring out their most romantic dance number (this is kdrama, so we aren’t going to be so lucky). And as he turns to look at her still sitting there, she is staring at him, and they are separated by the window and it’s just…guuuuh. Did I mention the bit where she sees he is still wearing the watch she bought him and he notices and pulls his shirtsleeve down as if to futily hide it?
And then we get this huge montage of angst, as she is driving in the rain, spacing out (much as I do every time Kang Ta wears a beanie hat in this one, though I don’t think she is doing it because she is contemplating international kidnapping of a Korean pop star for immoral purposes). And we get him wandering like a zombie in the rain, no umbrella, getting soaked to the skin and not noticing.
And then, we see YJ make a u-turn and go to where he lives. YES!
Meanwhile, KW has sort of stumbled to his grandmother’s place to meet…Ja Kyung, with an umbrella (this show loves umbrella scenes). And he just stands there, with this look on his face and she asks him what’s wrong and he whispers “I want to go back to jail” and oh oh oh oh oh *something is in my eye. Yes, that must be it*
And she just throws her arms around him, in this total hug (I love JK, I really do! Even more than earlier when she picked him up somewhere, late, and he was all ‘what is grandma going to think?’ and she was grinning ‘I told her I was sleeping with you’ heeeeee. Or when she was angrily talking to KW in jail post break-up that is this the way he loves? She won’t love like this blah blah. I really love her).
But yeah, back to the hug. She is hugging him. And he just stands there, like a statue and then and then and then…
OMG OMG OMG. YJ drives up to see this.
Hell.
Hell hell hell.
We get a flashback to KW getting out of jail, and what do you know? YJ did come to see it. But she is hiding behind a pillar. And she sees Ja Kyung there and the banter.
And she reverses the car and drives away and I want to yell at her “Stupid woman, are you BLIND?!?!?! His arms are completely at his sides and he isn’t hugging her back and is doing nothing more than resembling a pillar! Idiot! Go back!”
In fact, I do yell it but she can’t hear me all the way in Korea.
And then we get the above mentioned crying in the shower scene. Loveholic > everything because they combine:
a. the fact that they know who their eye candy is and the shower scene is all about that (though who showers in their underwear? Ahem) and having the hot guy be nekkid and wet.
b. that they know that hurt-comfort and emoness of said eye candy is also catnip to people like me.
Combining a and b? Genius. But yeah, he starts crying in the shower and ends up on the floor of it, sort of curled into a little ball, trying to stuff his fists into his mouth to stop the crying.
Oh, the beauty of manpain! ;D
And this would have been the end of the story if this wasn’t a kdrama but, let’s say, a French movie. Where we’d get a meditation on the futility of love and some sort of an Umbrellas of Cherbourg final scene.
But luckily for us, us being those who crave more emo, a more romantic ending, some pretty scenes in the snow/rain/other inclement element of choice, and most importantly, more gratuitous shower shots of Kang Ta, this is a kdrama and there is much much much more to come.
Because? Yes. There is an emergency in the restaurant YJ manages and on the recommendation of the head cook (this drama was good and established him and KW knowing each other), KW gets hired. The first meeting is totally awkward and angsty and I love that he offers to leave so as not to create problems for her (though we’ve established that it’s hard for him to get a job and this is basically his dream job here). But the owner won’t let him blah blah, so he ends up working there, at some swanky party for the Prosecutor’s office (did I mention that the restaurant YJ works at is owned by Prosecutor’s Mom?)
There is more angsty hot staring. The prosecutor is naturally taken aback by this, and unfortunately puts his foot in his mouth when he mentions that KW was YJ’s student as YJ and KW pretended they didn’t know each other. Questions all around. YJ faints and I love that KW catches her (he watches her like a hawk) but the Prosecutor takes her out of his arms and carries her to bed and tucks her in.
She is sleeping in the back. And OMG, KW comes in and just looks at her. So tenderly. *melts* And then he hears her whisper in her sleep. And she is whispering those nonsense syllables he taught her as the magic spell against falling asleep, over and over and over. And OMG, the look on his face! I think he is realizing she didn’t forget him completely. And he reaches in to tuck her in, pull the blankets around her and it’s such a little, caring gesture and I just die.
Meanwhile the Prosecutor ran into the guy who prosecuted KW’s case and the guy offhandedly mentions that KW’s case was his first and there were weird things there that didn’t add up, but of course it stopped mattering once KW confessed. Which give the Prosecutor, nobody’s fool, some pause.
And I think this pause turns into a light bulb moment when he comes in to check on YJ and sees the intimacy and the intensity with which KW is tucking her in, and the way he looks at her, when he is unobserved. (Of course he knew about the relationship before, but this is when he realizes the truth of the murder).
And he calls KW out for a conversation and they have this talk about the murder and some veiled references (KW goes all still when it looks like Prosecutor figured it out and of course the older man notices) and then OMG, Yool Joo is having a nightmare about that night and she screams Kang-Wook’s name and I love how it’s such instinct for KW to go to her and he rises out of the chair, and is just…and then the Prosecutor says it’s OK, he (the Prosecutor) will go to her and reality sinks in for KW again.
And then I had to stop for the night.
Oh my God. This write-up is tres huge.

Date: 2007-01-26 09:07 pm (UTC)Seriously, this is so beautiful and everything I ever loved in a drama. And it's so emotionally right. You really buy that they love each other this much and they are caught in this web of longing and regret and hope and guuuuh.
I wish I was watching this right now.
