I love getting to see Kim Soohyun do full comedy. He's unfortunately so good looking that it's really damn rare that they let him out of the box and he's so committed like let the man be a clown.
my favorite scene in today’s episode has to be when hyunwoo was going to return the new engagement ring but haein had to reveal she was trying it on, then made an excuse that it’s only to “analyze trends” so he mustn’t misunderstand her intentions. yes, it’s funny and cute. but we see that hyunwoo is getting better at reading haein beyond what she tells him, an improvement from always being an oblivious fool taking every word she says at face value. he understood the subtle i rejected your proposal not because i don’t love you and don’t wanna be with you. and the teasing at the end that he’s not gonna return it so she can always analyze trends whenever she wants? oh im proud of my parents
Finally, someone trashed the old and overused annoying "I realized I still love you." (Park Ji-eun-nim thank you very much!)
Hyun-woo is metaphoring how he feels for her to their lock in Germany.
All along, Hyun-woo thought he fell out of love. That somewhere along the way in their marriage, that spark they had got lost, like how they couldn't find the lock at first. But now that he was here, he understood that it was still there. He just had to take a step back and dig a little deeper. And he found it. A little worn out, but it was there, still holding on. Just buried underneath many other emotions.
So now I wonder what was running through Hae-In's mind during that time. She was probably infuriated, wanting to yell, scream, hit him... but then here he was, admitting that even after all he'd thought, said, and done, he found that she was still there. In his heart. And she knows it's the truth.
She wasn't angry. She was upset. She was disappointed he even thought of doing that. So she gave up. That's why it angered him. He broke her and made her cry. When all he wants now is to stay by her side forever.
Love can wear out the same things do. But after all, aren’t the worn-out things the most beautiful?
haein was so obviously scared of hearing her diagnosis at the hospital so she asks her husband to go with her even though they're not getting along at the moment.. this stoic woman who doesn't want anyone to know about her weaknesses tells her husband about her illness and... he welcomes her impending death with open arms.
i get that hyunwoo feels suffocated in their marriage, esp his in-laws, but he doesn't even know that despite everything, haein is still defending him against her own family. despite everything he's still the one she thinks to depend on. haein still stays up to wait for him to get home. haein still cares enough to vase his flowers. haein still cancels everything on her schedule to make time for him. but he doesn't even care about her anymore.
