dangermousieILY, Writer!
If the writers of MSOAN were on some awful drugs, you are on some amazing ones!
There is something totally happy-making and unbearably cute about JW reverting to his 21-yr-old self, adorably bratty, and not remembering who Ra Im is (LOL, shouldn't she be hideously old to his 21 yr old self? But clearly not. This makes it even more delish - this is one noona romance I can solidly get behind :P) but still being obsessed with her and chasing after her and being his oddball wackadoodle self and Ra Im being amused and in love and going along with the lunacy and teasing him and telling he can do whatever because he's alive and reminding him of all their dating stuff and just so happy.
And he's a brat but such a sweet one.
And RI telling his Mom to back the hell away and asking "give me Joo Won, I'll take good care of him." LOLOLOL it's like what a guy would say to a girl's parent when asking for her hand in marriage. I love the gender reversals in this drama (side note - Momster, do it! Your son has got the mental health of a depressed hamster on LSD - Ra Im is the one thing that makes him emotionally whole).
I really like that this sort of situation happened - for one because it brings out all of RI's assertiveness and in a way she's the agressor now (but not too much, because memory loss and reversion or not, JW is still madly and monomanaically obsessed with her even when she has no idea who she is). Plus, JW is such a cute goofball as his 21-yr-old self.
Who is desperate to get handsy with this girl he doesn't consciously know :)
On a more serious note, first half of ep 18 did make me bawl and bawl, at least until magic daddy fixed stuff. You know, it all came full circle - Daddy might have saved JW but JW saved Daddy's daughter, and how. Perfect.
Also, Oska, you made me cry today with the way you were around Joo Won, and Ra Im-as-Joo Won and Joo Won-as-Ra Im. You are officially the best kdrama big brother ever. (You know, I realized it sort of spills over into stuff with Sun - Oska is a great big brother to bratty, abrasive, brilliant Joo Won, so he sort of assumes that role, almost unconsciously, to bratty, abrasive, brilliant Sun. That's probably why none of Sun's cracks really bug him - it's a dynamic he's comfortable in. Of course, JW doesn't want into his hyung's pants and Sun would loooooove to peel Oska's clothes off like an onion, but it's not like that's registering to our rather dim darling).
