dangermousieHow is it possible for anyone to look so amazing all strung out and hurt?
I love how Target 4 is gloaty that City Hunter is too late to rescue the log of the mission 28 yrs ago, but no, YS saw it, he just chose to save a life instead, even if it's a life of someone he dislikes. And that is why he is worthy of a happy ending.
Bwahahaha Undaddy got another copy. Can we have a monster-off between him and Target 4? Also, am I the only one who thought, once he gave the guy who got him the book a car key and told him cash was in the trunk, that it was rigged to explode? Heh.
Undaddy's desire to wreck any chance YS have for a normal life is almost psychotic - how he tries to convince YS that risking his life every day he has no chance for love or protecting this love. It's a wonder YS is functional (if barely) with a father like that. It's deeply personal for Undaddy somehow, to destroy YS emotionally, to see him with as little worth in living as he is. Why? It's as if YS' misery is a validation of Undaddy's - because that makes it inevitable not a choice that Undaddy ended up the lonely monster he is. (When Undaddy says a normal/happy life is impossible for either of them - wtf - Undaddy at least chose it, YS had no choice due to Undaddy's insanity and kidnapping. But it's worrying me, those little possible hints of unhappy ending. Worrying me madly). And YS' answer that he has to survive to protect those who are his is so different from Undaddy who survives only for revenge. But the way Undaddy tries to push guilt and despair on YS makes me want to reach through my screen and strangle him. If Nana is YS' good angel, his link to sanity, Undaddy is his bad one, his guide to a dark dark place. Really, they are both fighting for YS' future.
Ah yes, YS is pushing Nana away from helping in Target 4's case because the man is dangerous and she sort of lets it slide, conversationally, but you see how unhappy she is with the walls. YS, you idiot, you keep it up and you are going to lose her.
Bwhahahahahaha YS is so bad with kids. If he and Nana have any of their own, it will be interesting.
I love how he keeps staring at his Mom, as if trying to make up for all the years of not seeing her.
YS' Mom gave him the ring his Dad gave to her, to give to Nana. I love how she also has a point about YS' future and hopes.
GIVE IT TO HER, YOU IDIOT, DON'T HIDE IT!!! And of course, to hide the longing he has to give her the ring, he has to snark at her. Seriously, YS, she is going to ditch soon.
She tells him she won't get involved in his cases any more and I love how he stares (he's torn so much between walls and letting her in, between protecting her and wanting her with him all the time). She tells him to take care of himself instead and ask her for help when he needs it. And I can't help but wonder whether it's her not wanting to worry him or detaching because she thinks she can't get anywhere. Because I think ultimately Nana could move on - it's YS that wouldn't be able to.
Hand-holding!
I love that Prosecutor figured out it was Target 4 who tried to kill him and not City Hunter but love even more that it looks like all of this is pushing Lady Vet and him closer and making reexamine his priorities. YESSS.
You know, it strikes me that a lot of this ep so far is a fight for what path YS should take for his future - I love ahjussi's point that revenge seems kind of pointless and why don't they go hiding from Undaddy and live elsewhere with Nana and Mom (oh, Nana's quick intense look when she hears that - the matter-of-fact inclusion, the possibility of letting go) and then the fall as YS quickly dismisses it saying he won't be able to live a normal life if he doesn't complete it (why? worried about undone things? Undaddy tracking him? Targets?)
OMG, the scene where he's sitting by himself, looking at the ring saying "after I am done, if I am still alive, then..." Oh, the fact that he has to precondition it this way - oh God. If he dies, I am going to go Undaddy on your ass, drama!
I love his face when she matter-of-factly says she likes him. It's so easy for her, with her warmth and normalcy and so close-to-impossible for him to say it (though just once, I want him to say it, dammit!) And his eyes. I think he needs her even more than he loves her.
OK, I take it back, he was sweet with that kid. Perhaps there is hope for YS the Daddy.
OK, YS, I want to frelling smack you - he is telling Nana that the pic of the two of them she brought should be trashed and she should leave and in general is being an idiot. Yeah, I know Undaddy's comments about him not being able to protect those he loves due to his life being always on the line, are eating at him - he's losing any confidence in having a future, but still! I loved when she finally blew up and walked out. Even a loving, understanding woman can take so much.
(Side note - that picture frame broke and splinters went down between YS and Nana. Bad omen, baaaad!)
Awww, I love that he actually apologized. Awwww. And gets transfixed by Nana making a pretend ring (dude, just propose!!!!) Why does he hate having pictures of himself taken anyway?
Prosecutor's obsession with nailing CH is driving me nuts!!!
Aww, I love that YS could stay with his Mom overnight and that Nana arranged it. Nana is pretty much amazing - good looks and rescuing ability notwithstanding, YS is a difficult difficult person and she just deals with it.
Also, I am beginning to think again YS' Daddy is his Mom's husband.
YS and Nana in the hospital - heee. But not as much hee as at the lovers' spat btw ahjusshi and YS.
Awww, he has a fever and cuddles all over her. He's seriously five yrs old, more physical than verbal.
WTF LEE YOON SUNG DO I HAVE TO SMACK YOU???? He tells her he can't ever tell her he likes her so not to wait for it. WHAT WHAT WHAT WHYYYYYYYYY? Is it because he's too messed up to be able to vocalize it? Because he thinks it's unfair since he might die any day? Whatttttt? I WANT TO END YOU MYSELF, YOON SUNG!!!
Yup, big shock, after all this stuff, she's 100% sure he doesn't love her back (sees her as a help, yes, romantic, no). Clearly, she plans to be there for him and help him with his quest and then just exit his life and move on. YOU ARE THE WORLD'S BIGGEST IDIOT, YOON SUNG, AND I HOPE YOU HAVE TO CHASE AFTER HER AND WIN HER BACK.
Yup, I was right, it's because he thinks he has no sort of life to offer anyone and may keel over at any second. Let her pick, genius! I honestly don't blame him but I want him to get smacked for it anyway.
Oh great, he got poisoned!!!!!!!!! The scene with him and Nana's voice on the phone and him just sitting there for hours trying to get the strength to move.
FUCK YOU PROSECUTOR, IS THAT HOW YOU REPAY SOMEONE SAVING YOUR LIFE? BY GOING AFTER THEM WHEN THEY ARE SICK???? Don't you have real criminals to catch, psycho?
So yes, wonderful, and as always no idea where it's going to go from here.
It's odd, flist is v.v. quiet over this ep. Whyyyyy?
