Wearinga blank face, he says that he thought she was abroad all these years, offering false concern over her mental instability. He tells his brother this must all be very shocking for him, then directs the investigators to talk to his lawyers.
Song-yi puts his bluff to the test and lies down, patting the space next to her and snuggling up right away. She asks him to turn out the lights, saying that dating an alien has its perks, and Min-joon looks at the light intending to comply.
Hwi-kyung heads to the river to brood, and in a flashback we meet his eldest brother (cameo by Yeon Woo-jin). Hyung gives his Hwi-kyung a pen-recorder as a graduation gift, encouraging him to use it as a diary like he does, and congratulates him with an affectionate hand- (and butt-)shake.
Yoon-jae tries to make sense of this, just as Min-joon summons a bottle of water to his hand. As he tries to process the sight, Song-yi comes out to see Min-joon drunk and starts to drag him by the arm, grumbling at him for being out of touch all day.
The recording starts out with hyung relating his day, from buying Hwi-kyung a graduation gift to agreeing to go on a drive with Jae-kyung later. Then Hwi-kyung drops by with some juice, sent by Jae-kyung, and by the time Jae-kyung enters the room, hyung is gasping and woozy.
Yes, that dangshin and this dangshin are the same word. This word is interesting, that (as many other Korean words) it can be interpreted in different ways. For instance, the way in which Wan uses it, he means it in the loving sense, like dear or honey. But in the way Hwi-kyung uses it, it is many levels colder and unfamiliar than the warm, familial or respectful "hyung". Dangshin is often used between strangers and sometimes enemies.
on your 3rd question...i think its the way MJs heart beats when intimately closed with SY...remember their first long kiss, that SY challenge when he broke into fever and SY tried to lean closer to see if he's really sick, his heart beat almost sent his heart bursting :-)
And thank you for your answer. I think that you and I both got the answer to my question wrong. I do remember the scene with the kiss (15 sec. kiss), but I didn't remember that when she got really close to him (when he was on the bed), his heart beat rose. I will have to pay attention to that when I rewatch the show. Based on what JB explained, it seems as if MJ said "this is a situation that is not so dire," referring to the fact that he COULD actually sleep in the other room (with a supposedly weaker boiler), and that them sleeping apart was not an impossible goal to achieve. Thing is, that was not what SY wanted, so she kept rejecting MJ's solutions (which were viable solutions, by the way).
I think that because I saw how nervous and how awkward MJ was in the bedroom, I assumed that MJ was actually encouraging himself (not to be nervous to be in bed with beautiful SY). Because, if you remember (and look closely), you will see that even when they were in bed, MJ still acted awkward and not fully comfortable. It must have been that he was that affected by SY' s close presence (that he couldn't fully relax). That I think, would be keeping in character for MJ.
1. SY calling MJ "oppa" or "Min Joon-ah" - we all know how MJ gets too grumpy regarding the use of banmal [informal language] when talking to him since he's like 400 years old already. I think this has been clear already to Song Yi as there were previous episodes in which MJ always stressed that he is older than her. But, it wouldn't be too bad that one day SY will call MJ "oppa". I would love to hear that! hahaha
2. Hmm, HK seeing JK wife's passport - yeah I've watched that scene as well. Hmm, maybe it will be revealed in the next episode??hehehe or it's like disregarded already since in this episode a stronger evidence [the recording pen] is found to put JK in jail..hehehe
3. As we all know, since MJ started having feelings towards SY he is also having a hard time controlling himself. I guess he said this just to put down SY in the scenario and to let her think that he isn't that much affected in them being together in one bedroom. But hey, the great amount of control in MJ is very clear even in the previous episodes.. *wink*
4. Hahaha, oh noes legal matters! Here I am not pretty sure if it's legal or not but I will go with it's NOT! Firstly, Pros. Seok was already off the case and keeping JK's wife in his house which is very much used in continuing the investigation is a NO-NO. Also, in legal matters if I am not mistaken, such what we call "state witness" is always kept in a safe house provided by the institution and not the prosecutor himself [in his own house]. or maybe it could be diff on Korea's law
5. Yes, Pros. Seok is really off the case but just like in the previous episode when the detective got worried of his action of continuing the investigation, Seok wants to finish his case till the end coz of his hunch that there's more to the case than a mere "suicide" or "homicide". I guess Pros. Seok's boss didn't know yet that he's still in the case and his subordinates are completely siding with him in this part..hehe
6. Hmm, MJ is a smart alien so I think he knew what SY is trying to bring up. And also, I think Yoon Jae "YOUR WEDDING!" stunt is alrady a give away to this one. He's just feigning ignorance which, you know, he kind of mastered already since SY is a gullible woman.. hehehe
7. Hahaha that would be hilarious if she really did something about the boiler! I had to laugh hard during the epilogue of episode 17 when I found out she wrote that script she had MJ to practice with her.. What can I say, she's a smart sly fox..hahaha
1- LOL I think it would be kind of weird if SY was to call MJ
"oppa" just because to every other person who doesn't know he's actually 400 years old, they would probably assume he's younger (since he looks younger). SY has occasionally dropped the "ssi' when calling his name (which I think is less formal way?)
2- The studying aboard thing is a lie (obviously) but since no body knows or has proof that JK has his ex's passport they can't exactly accuse him of lying. Though everything he says just sounds like utter BS to me... Multiple phone calls from his ex who he supposedly thinks is on the other side of the world and he assumes they were prank calls? yeah right
3- He says that because he knows that SY is making the situation sound more dire than it is (I suspect he knows she just wants to sleep with him)
6- SY wasn't trying to bring up marriage exactly, she was insinuating that they should live together (not necessarily marriage) but since he's all old fashioned and SY's family all wants them to get married... I think MJ really didn't know what SY was talking about... He's not exactly the type to play dumb, he's just so old fashioned he just doesn't get it when people speak in riddles XD He probably really did think she needed money since she's in a little bit of a money crisis and he definitely has more than enough money.
8- I'm assuming you're talking about the very beginning? He pushed her back because of the vision he saw of him disapearing, it probably shocked him (like all his other visions surprised him) more so because this vision actually involves HIS death and not SY's.
A very neat thing happened to me last Saturday: Anais had explained to me the ways parents are referred to in Korea, and how her sisters called her. I have a very young roommate I introduced Kdramas to, a month ago. She is from Germany, and she didn't know anything about them. She now loves YFAS, and she loves KSH and Taecyeon (whom she discovered through Dream High, which she watched, while waiting for the new episodes of YFAS).
Well, while having lunch together last Saturday, somehow the conversation became about Kdramas (she has now been watching Cinderella's Sister because of Taecyeon), and she was asking me about the use of "unni" and about how parents are called. I explained that to her, and while doing so, I silently thanked anais for taking the time to mention that to me in one of the posts she wrote, in answer to my many questions last week.
I was not arrogant when I was talking to my roommate about that. It is just that you never know how what we learn here can become useful later. Also, explaining what "unni" meant, and how it can be used, made me realize that I had actually understood what anais had so kindly explained to me (best way to know if one knows, is to explain to someone else, right?)
Now that roommate (who loves me more since I gave her the link of the Human Condition with TY, LOL) has been learning Hangul (she knows the letters) that she teaches to herself, and she has been teaching herself how to write in Hangul as well. We have talked about going to a Korean restaurant, and who knows what else we will do...
I might have created another addict, but as I told her, "you could be addicted to something worse." (she is in her late teens. She will turn twenty this year). She is originally from Turkey, and I told her that Korea has a special affection for Turkey, which I learned while reading "ask a Korean" (it's a blog), and which was hinted at in one of the episodes of the drama "The King 2 Hearts." My roommate is trying to figure out what it is. I told her that I would let her know once she finds the right info. (I would confirm that info, if it is accurate).
I just love it when I can apply and use what I am learning in my daily life. And to get someone else excited about Kdramas and Korean culture? That's the icing on the cake (and I am not even Korean :-) ). My roommate didn't know the 1st thing about Asian culture when I 1st met her (her own words) 8 months ago, and she had no interest in it. Now, she can write in Hangul (and I can't even do that yet). See what having an open and inquisitive mind (and attitude) can do? :-)
Hum... owl,
I think I might have shared my roommate's story with you yesterday or on Monday. Sorry (said the SY's way :-) ) I think that was why you gave me the link to the Human Condition with TY.
