There's something so selfless about the way in which Ji Hyuk is in love with Jiwon. It feels closer to devotion and worship than the usual romantic love. For me, its all in the eyes. The way he looks at her. My God. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I know you. I want to know you more. I am drawn to you. I cannot stop. I am so sorry I let you slip away the first time. Never again. Nothing matters more to me than you. My nightmares are made of being separated from you but your happiness matters more to me than my fear. But. If you say I am your happiness. Then I am yours. Let me save you. Oh? You want to save yourself? Then, at least, let me be the solid land you stand on. I love you so much I am content just looking at you. Even if my eyes give me away. I am content just being around you. Everything I do and everything I am, yours.
I think that is the purest, almost unattainable form of love. Maybe that is why it took two lifetimes to get it right. To want someone so much that you would do something so counterintuitive and difficult so as to hold yourself back. She is his whole world. And yet, he was willing to let her go.
I am in love with you. It goes on and on and on and it never goes away.
Let’s talk about Marry My Husband for a second and obviously, there will be spoilers.
I KNEW IT!!!! I knew that Jung Soo-min would end up being the more dangerous one of the pair. I remember saying in my initial review that while I didn’t condone DV as punishment (and still don’t), Soo-min and Min-hwan are both equally evil. It’s almost not DV at this point but rather two awful people being awful to each other rather than an innocent victim. The reason why Soo-min wouldn’t fall victim in the same way Ji-won was isn’t because she’s stronger but because she’s evil and doesn’t know when to stop. Soo-min will go to lengths for her own gain that Ji-won wouldn’t even dream of. So honestly, I absolutely called it when I said that it wouldn’t surprise me if Min-hwan ended up being the one to meet his maker because of a coffee table.
But even in half predicting it ahead of time, I still didn’t expect that scene to go the way it did. Those two are truly awful! It’s almost a shame that Soo-min offed Min-hwan because they’re honestly soulmates. Where else would she find someone as evil as her?
And damn did karma hit Min-hwan HARD! I honestly prefer it this way. Soo-min is awful but she deserves to live a LONG HARD life whereas Min-hwan was a coward. He deserved to have exactly what was inflicted by him happen to him. And the fact that despite all his misogyny, he was offed by a woman? Man that is poetic justice.
I’m so excited for the finale. I can’t wait to see what Soo-min will do next!
But I’m also loving the new Ji-won. Too often in these stories, the protagonist stays a doormat. And while Ji-won had her moments, she’s learned her lesson. She’s manipulative and crafty. Exactly what we need from the protagonist of a revenge drama.
So I was rereading the side stories and when I got back to the part when Kim min ah and other coworker I already forgot, talked about Kim rok soo being so rich I stopped and thought about why he was so rich.
Like yes he would be rich because he is team leader and they will get payed significantly more than just normal workers, and that he was saving money for a farm. But then I thought about the whole massacre incident thing. Kim rok soo was said to be the only survivor and that the team had no remaining family other than each other...
Kim rok soo probably inherited the entire teams money with some of it maybe taken by the company, but he probably was the only one left among the people they were all close with. Maybe he lives on the outskirts, not spending any money on being closer the company, because he doesn’t feel like its his money its still the team’s.
To him he can’t use all their money because its not his, he doesn’t deserve that money.
