You’re Beautiful: Episode 10

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

EPISODE 10 RECAP

Heyi accuses Mi-nam of liking Tae-kyung, and notes that she doesn’t deny it. Mi-nyeo is in such shock that she’s speechless, and when Heyi announces her intention to tell Tae-kyung, Mi-nyeo drops to her knees and shakes her head frantically as the guys start to approach. Reading her panic, Heyi says, “You don’t want me to? Then shut up when I do things my way.”

Heyi turns to the guys and says with fake worry that Mi-nam is ill. They recall that she had the beginnings of a cold and don’t question her, not seeing that Heyi mouths to Mi-nyeo, “Talk and you die.”

Sung-chan is sympathetic and sends Mi-nyeo home, saying she can make up the shoot later. He gives Heyi a ride back as well and answers her questions cheerfully, not aware of how Heyi is pointedly directing the comments at Mi-nyeo. For instance, she drives home that Mi-nam’s facing an important role in the band: “If a problem arises with Mi-nam, President Ahn, you and A.N.JELL will both be in a lot of trouble.”

Sung-chan agrees with her assessment, so Heyi turns to Mi-nyeo: “You heard, right? You’ll have to do a good job so things aren’t ruined for Tae-kyung oppa. And you can’t tell anyone the secret conversation we had. If you tell, I can’t keep my end of the secret either. Understand?”

In the safety of her own room (since Mi-ja is out at the moment), Mi-nyeo cries over her dilemma. She feels the burden of responsibility for A.N.JELL’s continued success in the wake of Heyi’s blackmailing.

She looks at the childhood photo of her with her brother and says, “Oppa, I’m so scared. What if he’s hurt because of me?” To clear up any ambiguity over who she’s talking about, she looks over at a photo of Tae-kyung. “He’s someone who shouldn’t be liked by a thing like me. I can’t ruin him.”

As the shoot wraps, Tae-kyung wonders how Mi-nyeo’s doing and asks to take some limes home with him. He doesn’t see Shin-woo asking the prop guy for some limes, too, nor Jeremy. When the guys arrive home, they find that she’s in bed and feverish. Tae-kyung starts to speak in concern, but stops himself and instead says gruffly, “If you were sick, you should have said so. Because of you, today’s shoot was ruined.”

Mi-nyeo apologizes and promises not to ruin anything in the future, but her weak response has him dissatisfied. He wonders if she’s gotten used to his (brusque) way of speaking, or whether she’s just out of energy. He turns his glare to Pig-Rabbit to scold, “If you droop like that, it takes the fun out of picking on her.” He grabs the ears to perk them upright, then wonders how to feed Mi-nyeo the limes.

All three guys have thought of the nutrition value of limes with the intent of giving them to Mi-nam, so Tae-kyung has to hide his surprise to find Shin-woo and Jeremy in the kitchen with theirs. In keeping with their previously shown preferences, Shin-woo suggests making hot tea with his limes, but Jeremy would rather make juice.

Tae-kyung feels stupid now, so he has to play off his intent, saying he liked eating the limes so much he brought them home for his own enjoyment. He takes a bite nonchalantly, pretending it’s tasty. (I apologize for the crudeness of the gif; I’ve never made one before so I had to figure out how to do it, but the moment was just begging for an animated gif.)

 

Tae-kyung shoots a glare at Pig-Rabbit, then figures, “Since everyone else is taking care of Mi-nam, I guess I don’t need to step in.”

Shin-woo brings her tea, but since she’s asleep he sets it aside, although it’ll be cold when she wakes. (The point being: his timing is bad.) Seeing Mi-nyeo shivering in her sleep, he says, “Don’t be sick, Mi-nam, because then I can’t stand by and not do something.”

Later that night, Tae-kyung heads to the kitchen because he can’t sleep. (He blames it on eating so many limes, rather than entertaining the possibility that it could be any other reason.) As he closes the fridge door, he starts at the sight of a haggard Mi-nyeo standing there looking like death. She groans, “I need… water…” (Symbolism! After all, Shin-woo = tea, Jeremy = juice, Tae-kyung = water.)

She collapses against him, and he rushes her to the hospital. As he drives, he berates himself for letting her illness get this bad. They should have called for help earlier.

He pulls up to the emergency room, but Mi-nyeo resists when he tries to usher her inside. Knowing that entering the hospital will put an end to her masquerade as Mi-nam, she refuses and staggers away.

His concern making him angry, Tae-kyung grabs her — her fever is too high and being discovered is the lesser of her worries (in his eyes). But Mi-nyeo bursts out, “I won’t go! Aren’t you afraid? What happens if I’m found out? If a thing like me — I’m so afraid you’ll be hurt because of a thing like me.”

Tae-kyung: “It’s not time for you to be worried about me. And I’ve been prepared for it ever since I promised to accept you. I’ll handle it, so let’s go to the hospital.”
Mi-nyeo: “I also made a promise not to be discovered. So I cannot go to the hospital.”

In frustration, Tae-kyung has to let her have her way. In the car, he covers her with his jacket and tells her more gently, “It’s okay if you cry or throw up, so you don’t have to clench your teeth and hold back.”

At home, Tae-kyung prepares supplies and tells Shin-woo that Mi-nam is really sick. This time, however, it’s Tae-kyung’s turn to hold Shin-woo back. He says, “I’ll look after her. You don’t have to worry about it.” Shin-woo clenches his fist, but stands by as Tae-kyung takes his tray to Mi-nyeo.

Throughout the night, Tae-kyung applies a cold compress and monitors Mi-nyeo’s progress as her fever runs its course. Finally, at 5am, she wakes up, still weak but better now. He anticipates her comments, guessing that she’s about to thank him and apologize before she actually says the words.

Tae-kyung: “Seeing how you worried about me even though you were that sick, you seem to have some loyalty. Seeing you enduring through it, you’ve also got some spirit. I haven’t wanted to accept you and wanted to reject you, but because of this, I’m accepting you. I’m on the same team as you now, so I feel a duty to look after you, and I’ll take responsibility for your affairs, too.”
Mi-nyeo: “I’m truly sorry. I’ll think carefully about what to do from now. And thank you for saying that.”
Tae-kyung: “In the future, don’t do things to be sorry for. Just think and live with a grateful spirit.”

Now that she’s better, he heads off to get some sleep. Mi-nyeo decides, “I can’t let things go any further. To make sure I’m not caught, and that he’s not hurt, Go Mi-nam has to disappear.”

From the hallway, Shin-woo watches Tae-kyung leave Mi-nam’s room, figuring that she must be better now. I suppose this means he was there all night, and he decides, “I’ll stay just a while longer” until she’s better.

Meanwhile, Hoon-yi has been busy creating Mi-nam pogs and hadn’t even known Mi-nam was sick until the stylist tells him. He enthuses about Mi-nam’s success and thinks of an appropriate “legend” to add to the A.N.JELL history.

First, he thinks of making Mi-nam a descendant of Bruce Lee, but the stylist shoots him down. Then what if he pairs her with a princess? Since Jeremy has England covered, they could pair Mi-nam with an Indian princess.

The stylist shoots down that idea, too (there are no Indian princesses anymore), so Hoon-yi settles on Old Faithful: a birth secret. They could paint Mi-nam’s mother as a mysterious, grand woman. In Hoon-yi’s fantasy, she is the tough woman who stands up to an invading Japanese samurai and dies for her beliefs. Of course, the stylist vetoes this as well, calling Hoon-yi childish.

Next, we have a few more Mi-nam fantasies, but this time they come from Tae-kyung’s mind. He goes shopping for women’s clothing — something to make Mi-nyeo look “definitely like a girl” in order to “disguise” her.

He rejects the sexy black and the flirty pink lace because they’re not his style. But a classic Jackie O outfit catches his eye, and he thinks, “Yeah, I’d like her to dress like that.”

Then he catches himself: “What do I care about liking it? This is just for an emergency escape. Any women’s clothes will do.”

The shopgirl is excited at his purchase, assuming they’re for Heyi. (Heyi had declined their offer to “sponsor” her with clothes — i.e., she would wear their brand to heighten their profile — but now she would since Tae-kyung is buying them for her.)

Another brand happy to “sponsor” the celebrities is the couple ring purveyor, who had supplied the rings in the MV worn by Heyi and Tae-kyung. Since they’re a real couple, they offer the rings for the idol stars to keep, and Heyi guesses, “If I ask him to wear it for real, he wouldn’t, would he? But I’d like to.” She pouts, “He bought a hairclip for a thing like Go Mi-nam. I really hate her!”

Jeremy and Shin-woo are eager to take care of Mi-nyeo, offering her some lime juice and a blanket. When Heyi drops by, I love how the guys look dismayed to have Heyi ruin the party. She explains that she’s here to drop by on the sick Mi-nam and see Tae-kyung, who isn’t home yet.

However, she has another agenda, and starts out by getting rid of the guys first. She asks Shin-woo to retrieve fruit from the car, then asks Jeremy for a drink. Both leave reluctantly, uncertain about leaving Mi-nam with Heyi.

They head to Mi-nam’s room for a word in private, and Heyi says, “I thought you’d get scared and run away, but surprisingly you’re hanging in there.” Mi-nyeo answers, “I won’t run away like this.”

Heyi enjoys seeing Mi-nyeo squirm, so she says that Shin-woo and Jeremy, who are so good to her, are bound to change if they knew the truth. She threatens to tell them: “You should be begging me.”

But Mi-nyeo startles her by answering seriously, “I will tell them. I’ll tell Shin-woo hyung and Jeremy. They probably won’t forgive me, but I will tell them the truth and leave.” Heyi adds, “Then can you tell them that you like Hwang Tae-kyung, too?”

Mi-nyeo’s face falls at that: “Do I have to say that too?” Sensing weakness, Heyi asserts, “Of course. That’s why you got caught by me, because you didn’t know your place and fell for him.”

Mi-nyeo gathers her nerves, then says, “Then I will say that, too.”

Heyi doesn’t like this, because it removes her power. All along, she’s been trying to be the puppetmaster and constantly finds herself thwarted, so by now she’s tired of being outsmarted. She says spitefully, “Fine, tell them everything! When oppa gets home, gather them together and tell them all! I’ll see with my eyes what becomes of you.”

In a bratty tantrum, Heyi knocks the glass out of Mi-nyeo’s hand, sending it crashing to the ground.

At the noise, Shin-woo walks in with concern. Immediately, Heyi switches on the act and says in a wounded tone, “Mi-nam, why are you doing this? It’s really mean of you to act like this just because I touched your things.”

She’s been outplayed, so Mi-nyeo just apologizes and crouches to pick up the pieces. When Shin-woo helps, Mi-nyeo asks him to get the vacuum. Heyi follows Shin-woo out and says with false concern, “Mi-nam is acting strange. I think he’s hiding something. Does he have something I’m not supposed to see?” She insinuates that Mi-nam’s overreaction suggests that he’s hiding something from Shin-woo.

Shin-woo doesn’t know the extent of her fakeness but he’s sharp enough to know Heyi’s no saint, so he doesn’t take her bait. He’s not interested in digging into people’s secrets. When Heyi asks if such a secret would make him feel bad, Shin-woo replies, “I’m sure there’s a reason for it. If it’s a reason I can understand, then no, I don’t feel bad.” Confused and frustrated, Heyi next tests Jeremy:

Heyi: “If Mi-nam does something wrong, do you just put up with it?”
Jeremy: “But he doesn’t do anything wrong.”
Heyi: “There could be a big thing that you don’t know about. What would you do then?”
Jeremy: “I’d put up with it. I really like Go Mi-nam, so everything is fine with me.”

Heyi has heard from one of her staffers that Tae-kyung bought clothes, ostensibly for her, and sees the shopping bag when he arrives home. When he walks past her, she deduces that the clothes aren’t for her — which mean they must be for Mi-nam.

Heyi has something to give him “because I need proof you’re mine,” then holds up her hand with the two couple rings on it. Tae-kyung takes the man’s ring and comments, “It’s pretty.” Then he puts it back on her hand, “Looks good on you. Wear them both.” He adds, “I’m saying this in case you get confused, but let’s make this clear. I’m not yours.”

Mi-nam requests a meeting with all the A.N.JELL guys, ready to tell them something. They all wait for her to speak, as she works up the nerve to tell them the whole truth.

Meanwhile, Heyi worries, “What happens if Go Mi-nam reveals everything and Shin-woo and Jeremy are still okay with it?” Then, a worse thought strikes her: “What happens when Tae-kyung finds out Mi-nam likes him? I can’t let her tell him!”

Therefore, Heyi races back inside the house, determined to put a stop to Mi-nam’s confession, arriving just as Mi-nyeo says, “What I want to tell you… Actually, I…”

Heyi makes a grunting noise to get the others’ attention. As the guys turn toward her, she says, “Tae-kyung oppa, I have something to say to you” — and gags again.

The implication is clear (she’s pregnant!) and everyone gapes in surprise, most of all Tae-kyung, since he knows this is clearly not possible. Jeremy connects the dots: “If she gags, does that mean… that thing that happens often in the dramas…?”

Heyi manages to say, “Oppa I’m sorr—” just as she gags again and rushes for the bathroom.

I LOVE JEREMY — even if I didn’t love him already, I’d love him for his next line as he says hesitantly, “Then do we have to have a congratulations party?”

Shin-woo prods Tae-kyung to take care of his girl. Tae-kyung knows Heyi’s playing around but denying it won’t get the others to believe him. He gripes, “She’s so dead!”

Heyi is pleased with her performance — she stopped Mi-nam from talking AND gave Tae-kyung a shock. Two birds, one stone. From the bathroom, Heyi calls Mi-nyeo to instruct, “Don’t tell them now. Revealing the truth won’t help Tae-kyung at all. Reveal it and take responsibility somewhere else, when there are a lot of people gathered. You don’t want those people [A.N.JELL] dragged in and hurt too, do you?”

Heyi brings up Mi-nam’s press preview for her music video: “End it there.”

Tae-kyung confronts Heyi about her stunt, but she airily tells him to be cool and refuses to tell the others it was faked. Understanding how her mind works, Tae-kyung follows her out and indicates the rings she’s wearing: “You were mad about that?” She answers, “You should have listened. Don’t piss me off.”

Taking her phone, Tae-kyung sees that he’s not #1 in her speed dial. (Her father is #1.) She’s flattered and asks, “Why, do you want to be #1?”

He asks, “Is your father scary?” Thinking to give Tae-kyung a good warning, Heyi says that her father is so scary that if he were to piss him off, he’d rip out all Tae-kyung’s hair.

This setup recalls the shoe scene at the lake, so we know to expect something as Tae-kyung punches in a few keys, and says, “Good thing you’re afraid of him.” He shows her the message he has typed: “Dad I’m pregnant.”

Heyi panics and tries to wrest the phone away from him, warning him not to do it — but he pushes SEND and off it goes. He asks, “What’ll you do? Looks like you’re getting a haircut today.” (Immediately, her phone rings. Tae-kyung leaves Heyi assuring Daddy that it’s not true.)

Tae-kyung explains to his bandmates that Heyi was merely feeling ill and warns them, “Don’t imagine anything more.” Now they recall that Mi-nam had something to tell them, but now that she’s been blackmailed by Heyi, she can’t come clean. Mi-nyeo apologizes for causing so much trouble, and they respond true to form: Shin-woo understands, Jeremy says it’s okay, and Tae-kyung says it’s hardly the first time.

Mi-nyeo is touched at their response, and prays, “Mother Superior, I have received such good care that I don’t deserve. Please give me courage to do what I have to so they are not hurt.”

Smelling pay dirt, Aunt Mi-ja had told Hwa-ran that she doesn’t know where the twins are. They may have even been adopted. Since she’s the sole blood relation to songwriter Go Jae-hyun, Hwa-ran can just hand over the money (for the remake) to Mi-ja…

She then toasts her impending riches with some friends, bragging about her encounter with Hwa-ran and gossipping about a hunch — she’s certain that Hwa-ran had something going on with her brother. She wonders if Hwa-ran knows who the twins’ mother is, but a friend wonders if Hwa-ran herself is the mother. Mi-ja pooh-poohs that suggestion, because an unmarried and pregnant Hwa-ran would have caused a lot of rumors. But then, she remembers that Hwa-ran had briefly retired, some twenty years ago.

Hearing that the twins are out of reach comes as a blow to Hwa-ran, who drowns her sorrows listening to the song. She asks, “You wrote this song asking me to come back to you, didn’t you? You made it for me. You only loved me.”

Tae-kyung also listens to the song and thinks, “Did you beg for him to return and abandon me?” He asks Pig-Rabbit, “She wants to remake a song like this — can you understand that woman?” He sighs that when he’s feeling down like this, he’d prefer Mi-nam to the Pig-Rabbit, since “the real Go Mi-nam has some use.”

So, next he finds Mi-nyeo outside, gazing at the sky. She can’t make out the stars, though, because the lights are too bright. Tae-kyung advises that she turn off the light, so they stand in the dark for a while.

Tae-kyung asks if she’s worried about her press conference tomorrow. She’ll have to go alone, because Sung-chan thinks it’s better to focus attention on Mi-nam rather than the other A.N.JELL guys.

Mi-nyeo says, “Later, when I think of this place, I’ll feel like it was a dream. You, Shin-woo hyung, and Jeremy are far-away people like those stars in the sky, and I will have been among you. Because the stars can be seen from anywhere, I’ll always be able to see you even if I’m not here.”

Tae-kyung squints to look at Mi-nyeo’s face — blurry in the dark — and reminds her, “I can’t see you very well. Not being able to see you is frustrating. So don’t be somewhere I can’t see you.”

Mi-nyeo points out, “You can’t see me very well even though I am here.” She waves a hand in front of his face, but he grabs it.

Tae-kyung: “I can see. I can see you enough to know you’re there.”
Mi-nyeo: “Do you really see me?”
Tae-kyung: “Yes. I can see you. So when it’s dark, stay at this distance so I can see you.”
Mi-nyeo: “I understand. But I have a request. When I quit being Go Mi-nam and return to being a girl, even if you see me well, please act like you don’t see me. I’ll pretend not to see you, too.”
Tae-kyung: “You want us to act like we don’t know each other?”
Mi-nyeo: “Yes. Please promise me that you won’t act like you know me as a girl.”

Tae-kyung is surprised at her request, and he looks at her in confusion, but bravado forces him to say, “Of course, that’s how it should be. I’ll promise. Let’s not act like we know each other.”

She thanks him with tears in her eyes and heads back to her room. Tae-kyung remains in the dark — both literally and figuratively — as he frowns over her words.

In her room, Mi-nyeo finds the clothes he’d bought. He texts her the message: “Those are clothes for you to wear when you have to leave quickly. Keep it out of sight. When you’re dressed in these like a girl, I won’t act like I know you at all.”

The next day, Mi-nyeo prepares for her preview event and is wished well by the guys as she heads off with Hoon-yi.

However, at some point she slips away, meaning that by the time she is supposed to take the stage, she’s nowhere to be found. Hoon-yi races around looking for her, and Sung-chan nervously barks at him to find Mi-nam asap. Heyi anticipates the show to come and calls Mi-nyeo to make sure she’s ready.

The A.N.JELL guys hear about Mi-nam’s disappearance, and Tae-kyung suggests that they go to the preview. If Mi-nam doesn’t show up, at least they’ll be able to manage the press.

When Tae-kyung changes his clothes, his eyes land on Pig-Rabbit sitting in his chair, like normal — but missing its hair clip. This is odd, so he heads into Mi-nam’s room, where he finds the shopping bag empty.

He thinks of her words last night. Now they have an ominous reading, and he guesses what she’s about to do. He leaves her a voicemail: “Go Mi-nam, run away instead. If you show up in that outfit, you’ll be in big trouble! I’ll take responsibility and handle this, so you can’t come here.”

All the while, Mi-nam heads toward the event, having gone elsewhere to change into her female garb. Mustering her courage, she tells herself, “I have to take responsibility. I can’t push it off to other people.”

The three guys cause a stir, but their worries are focused on Mi-nam, who is still missing by the time they arrive at the screening hall. In an effort to buy time, Sung-chan orders the video to begin, causing the lights to flick off — meaning, Tae-kyung can’t see.

Tersely, he tells Shin-woo and Jeremy, “I can’t see a thing, so I can’t look for him. Find Go Mi-nam.” They have to find Mi-nam before anyone else does, and knowing that time is ticking, he gives them one last, key bit of info: “Look for a girl.”

Shocker! Shin-woo is not surprised, but Jeremy is stunned. Baffled, he protests, “But you said to search for Go Mi-nam.”

Tae-kyung tells him quietly, “Go Mi-nam is that girl.” He has no time to explain, so he tells them to find her quickly and take her away. He heads back outside to the lit lobby to continue the search, almost missing Mi-nyeo as she walks right by the fans, unnoticed, and heads into the theater.

Tae-kyung chases as Mi-nyeo makes her way slowly down the aisle, walking toward the front. Tae-kyung is standing behind her, but everything appears blurry.

Fighting his desperation, he tries to make out her form in the dark as he mutters, “I can’t see anything. I can’t see Go Mi-nam.”

Frustrated, Tae-kyung yells out into the quiet room, “I told you not to be where I can’t see you!”

That causes a stir, as everyone looks around for the source of the outburst. Mi-nyeo stops in her tracks, recognizing Tae-kyung’s voice, and turns back around to face him. Knowing he can’t see her, she thinks, “Please don’t see me here. It’s no good if you see me.”

Just then, the lights turn on.

Girls squeal as they recognize Tae-kyung, but his eyes land on Mi-nyeo and focus sharply on her, just as the music kicks in — rather perfectly — “I shouldn’t have done that, I should’ve acted like I didn’t know, like I didn’t see you, like I couldn’t see you…

The crowd is starting to stir, sensing a big moment, but they haven’t recognized Mi-nyeo yet…

…and at just that moment, Shin-woo whirls her around — to hide her face — and holds her to him.

Shin-woo trades looks with Tae-kyung, then Jeremy, before he turns to the reporters to announce, “She’s my girlfriend. She’s the girlfriend I couldn’t reveal before.”

 
COMMENTS

Finally, Shin-woo’s timing works out! Earlier when she was sick, he had told Mi-nyeo that she should be well, otherwise he’d feel forced to act. I’m sure he recognizes that Mi-nyeo doesn’t feel the same way about him as he does for her, and I think that’s why he’s taking a voluntary backseat. He’s too much a gentleman to play the part of the stereotypical overbearing Kdrama Second Lead who forces his affections on a woman who doesn’t reciprocate. So the only thing that would actually force him to step up and assert himself is if she actually needed him to — ergo, the ending scene.

I’ll admit that the last shot, of Shin-woo holding Mi-nam to hide her face, didn’t have the same punch for that it probably was supposed to have because a similar moment was so fantastic in Last Scandal of My Life, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it anyway. I’m often iffy about secondary romances swooping in to impede the main romance at this point in the story, but this is a case where it’s done right.

This moment of Shin-woo stepping in and pushing Tae-kyung aside (metaphorically) isn’t just a contrived plot twist; it works because it’s a confluence of factors that have been built up and layered in over the course of the whole series. The song is layered over Tae-kyung’s blindness — and subsequent sight — which is layered over the star-moon conversation, layered over Shin-woo’s desire to help but only when he must, layered over Heyi’s manipulations, et cetera… It’s a great build-up to an important moment and therefore I digs it. Furthermore, this happens just as Tae-kyung is getting to the point where I think he’s ready to admit his feelings for Mi-nyeo, having gotten past most of the initial denial, only to have that snatched away from him. Angst!

I’ve raved about the Hong sisters plenty, both regarding this drama and in the past, but I’m not blind to their faults and I’m still going to point out when something is dissatisfying. Therefore I have to say that I find Heyi as the big evil pretty funny for the first stretch, but thought it started feeling like “Give me a break” stuff by this episode. The Heyi thing definitely starts to feel like too much, but thankfully, with this episode she’s been totally de-fanged and stripped of her venom. Hopefully this means that the remaining conflict is more about the people at the core of the relationship, rather than a spiteful third party messing things up for our main characters.

(The Hong sisters have definitely improved on their plotting and angst development over the years, because I know a big complaint about Delightful Girl Chun-hyang was the overclingy second leads. That improved in My Girl but there was still a little bit of contrived “Get over it already” obstacles keeping our couple apart. Hong Gil Dong was lucky (in one sense) to have the politics acting as another conflict, to take the burden off the romantic conflict from carrying the story through its latter stages. So I think that with You’re Beautiful, they’re continuing to improve.)

This is the killer episode. I was dead on the spot with TK's " I told you not to be where I can't see you" and the heartbreaking exchange of gaze between TK and MN. Watched that scene ten times and I teared up ten times, no less. I hope this is TK's moment of realisation.

Unfortunately, due to the Soompi's discussion a few days ago, SW's proclamation didn't come as a surprise. And I agree with JB that it sort of pales in comparison to the brilliant similar scene in Last Scandal.

It will be another week of torturous wait before the next episode comes along.

@ 129 Samira - Glad you love City Hall, which together with You Are Beautiful, are the best two dramas for me this year.

yeah about My Girl the angst was cute but at the same time it was like okay grandfather just accept it and move on. okay children confess and be happy together.

and for Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang.. i watched the whole thing and at the end I WAS SO SAD FOR DADDY LONG LEGS. they made it too complicated in a way where i wanted her to get together with daddy long legs =x and also i felt the chemistry between the two leads wasn't really there so it wasn't that fun to watch

Fantasy Couple -i didn't like the male lead- but the female lead was hilarious enough to make up for anything =]

for You're Beautiful i almost like jeremy and mi nam better than her with shin woo. this is sadly because shin woo is like kim hyun joong haha. what stoic features they both portray. and kind of bad acting that makes their lines corny. but ofc htk and mi nam are forever!!
the low ratings upset me as i really feel they shouldn't be this low and the campaigning for this drama wasn't done effectively. when i saw the plot for it i scoffed because it sounded corny but had to watch since it was the hong sisters.. sucks because i'd prefer 20 episodes to 16 and that won't happen with these ratings =[. YAB fighting!

I've read some comments saying that Shinwoo's character is well developed, but I don't see it. To me, he's the least developed and least interesting character since he's such a cliche. I enjoy him as nothing more than a plot device to keep up the drama between the two leads.

I'll admit to having fast-forwarded through some of his parts since I find both him and his actor boring, so I'm wondering if I've missed something that would make him something other than the typical secondary male lead?

thank you for recap!!
i really love your every recap!!!

anyway...

“I’ll stay just a while longer” until she’s better.

i think that line isn't that.
TK had said that MN is ok. then SW said “then this time, I’ll stay just a while longer until myself ok." something like that.

sorry for my poor english.

These A.N.jell idols are sooooo adorable. If only real kpop idols were this sweet in real life.

I don't know City Hall got into this thread, but I totally loved that drama too. CSW is another guy that doesn't come off as that appealing in the beginning, but you just start to fall in love with his character. And Jang Geun Seok is doing the same thing with his portrayal of HTK. Talk about those intense eyes!

I absolutely loved this episode: the nicely crafted conversations between TK and MN, the well-planned build ups, and yes including the angst. The only thing I hate was UEE, I had to pause the video and poke at UEE's big fat face to make myself feel better!

I have one question: where on earth is Go Mi Nam, the real one? I hope he comes back soon to clear up all the mess! Come on, we only have 6 episodes left! I hope Tae Kyung and Min Nyue will quickly admit to each other their feelings and have some sweet moment together!!!!!!

Argh, love how the story unfolds, like how the conflict develops. Hong Sisters, you are really awesome!

Oh and I hope tae kyung will use back his old hairstyle! You know the freaking hot one in ep 7 and 8, when he let down his fringe!!!

Ehermmmm....I'm glad I'm not the only one screaming like crazy watching this drama. Can't even concentrate on work these days :)
Gosh, I love all YB stands for especially all the word play they used. My hat's off to the Hong sisters....I have admired their work since I was introduced through their 'My Girl" drama but this tops it all. Loved the water, Tea and Juice one >>>what's next? I wonder? As to comparison...No offense but comparing this one to BOF, for me is a crime.....Story, acting-wise, casting, chemistry etc...etc..It doesn't come close. This drama has revived my addiction to K-drama thats been in slumber since "Coffee Prince". Considering there are only 6 episode left, I wonder if the Hong sisters have any plans at all to show Min Nye altered-self in guise of his brother >>> "the reel Min Nam"...I want to see PSH acting as his brother in the show and how would the story play out from there....Goodness, This remind me another week to wait for my next dose of YB-Cocaine :)

thank you JB!! ...

I think it was getting a little too ridiculous with the Go Mi Nam trying to come clean ( because of Heyi's demand ) at a press conference when Go Mi Nam's main goal was not to hurt the guys. It's so frustrating when the story drives the main character to play oblivious to what is clearly obvious. How could Go Mi Nam possibly think that is the best way to come clean?!

anyways I still enjoyed it. and can't wait till the next episode!!!
I totally agree with you on that music timing so right on..and perfect..

I thought Park Shin-hye is just excellent in this episode. We all know she's got the cuteness down pat. She's adorable and very much likable. But she really looks sick and emotionally drained in this episode. And we've all seen the whole female lead getting sick and male lead taking care of her in dramas. But I think they were able to take it beyond that in this drama. That scene isn't about making it look romantic. It isn't about fan service. I mean, yeah, it is sweet he's taking care of her but it's not something to giggle about here. Things are serious and this incident really adds to the story.
You know, I love Jeremy's exaggerated expressions and the look of horror you often see on him, like in the first photo. It's very funny because it's supposed to be funny. But then in the last scene where Shin-woo's hugging Mi-nam, Jeremy has the same look of surprise on his face but he manages to make it look sad and shocking without making it seem funny at all. My heart just went out to him at that moment. I don't know how he does it but I thought it was really cool.

here we go on hoon-yi's imaginations (as per episode 3...BTW, bwahaha at the "Sorry Sorry" parody... =D)

"...They could paint Mi-nam’s mother as a mysterious, grand woman. In Hoon-yi’s fantasy, she is the tough woman who stands up to an invading Japanese samurai and dies for her beliefs..."

the pic shot looks like the MV of Jo Su-mi's 나 가거든 (the assassination part)...I imagine MN saying the famous line "내가 조선의 국모다!" with the assassin (I imigaine Heyi the BITCH) striking at her gut (which, fortunately is not shown in both as it would be too gory...)

Is it just me or did the others point this out before me? Please inform me, thanks...

Speaking of themes, here’s definitely a theme around sight here.

There's a lot about insight into others & insight into yourselves (TK has the first to some extent but not the latter, SW has both, while Jeremy is starting to only have the later)

There’s a lot about being seen as one thing, but actually being another (MN as a boy, YH as a fairy, TK as a grouch)

There’s also a lot about pretending not to see (e.g., SW and TK pretend to the world they can’t see MN is a girl, and for that matter the audience is asked to pretend we can’t see MN is a girl either)

And then you have them tied up with physical sight, TK being night-blind, but able to see the moon, MN metaphorically seeing only one star in the sky.

I love MN and TK’s discussion at episode 10 on the balcony

“You can see stars from anywhere, so even when I’m not around I can see you.”
How sweet- MN is trying to make a life for herself after AN Jell, one in which she can still watch them from afar. This one did make me shed a tear-

“Even when I’m right here, you can’t see me very well.”
Ah the sting of truth! TK you’re not just night-blind not to be able to see MN’s love.
PSH can sure wring my poor heart with her smiling through pools of tears in her eyes…. Gaaahhh… I want to kiss her too to make it all better! (Which, come to think of it, I’ve never wanted to do for a female lead before… hmmm…)

“No matter how well you can see me, pretend you can’t.”
How long a way MN has come! I’m half proud of her! And when she even manages a smile as TK says in a huff “Of course… let’s not acknowledge each other ever.” My heart broke half from pity and half from pride… MN learns to let go of something incredibly precious to her.

And the music is so perfectly interspaced “He can’t acknowledge me ever.” Is followed immediately by the lyrics singing “Although you say you wouldn’t see me.”

Take that together with the lyrics for “Without a word” and you really do have this beautiful interplay about the ability/inability of various characters to see things for what they truly are, and sometimes how it is better not be able to see, and even times when one must pretend not to be able to see.

Hong sisters, I know I’m no literary critic, I know you’ll never hear me say this, but I just want to tell say that you make the world a little brighter with your writing at least for one of the many literature-blind creatures of this earth- thank you very much!

Great episode!

I really hate SW d moment I watched d last scene (i'm forever TK-MN shipper..=p) but after a while (after reading many commenters in Soompi who try to justify why SW might have said that MN is his girl) my anger for him subsided a bit..i mean thinking rationally, he's d best candidate anyway (though i'd prefer Jeremy rather than him)..it's not possible for TK to do d same thing coz then what will happen to his supposed GF, HY..n Jeremy is in too much shock over d fact that MN is a girl to be her knight in shining armour..thus we left with d only option of SW..(but that doesn't mean that I cannot hate SW for doing that..i think i'll hate him anyway, at least till next ep..=p)

I only hope that he's doing this bcoz he had promise MN that he will protect her and always be by her side whenever she needed him to (i can't remember d exact words but i believe he had made those promises when he come to pick MN up at her father's hometown) n not for other underlying reasons..i can't stand 2nd leads who know that d woman doesn't like him but still continue to fight for her thus making her even more confused n miserable (esp when i'm rooting for d main lead..=p)

If things played out d way it seem to be then next week there will be 2 fake couples! I always love jealous TK n if there is fake couple btw MN-SW, providing that TK already realised that he has feelings for MN, he wud b more straightforward n obvious about how he feels when MN is with another guy! N i wud love to see some kissing scene bet TK n MN too..there's only 6 eps left! Why dun u make us a little happier..Hong sisters? =)

Anyhow, I think it wud still be a lose for SW in d end..poor him..even after he 'indirectly' confessed to MN that he likes her, she probably wudn't take d hint (as she usually did) n thought that SW is just trying to protect her n A.N.Jell..

N Jeremy..i can't wait to see his reaction after he knows MN is a girl..wud it be like d guy in Coffee Prince (Eun Chan's friend whom i dun remember his name..d one who keeps calling her My Chan) or like Nakatsu in Hana Kimi Japan? I'd prefer Nakatsu anyway as he's less fussy but it wud be fun too to see him being angry unnecessarily with MN for not telling him d truth earlier!

Having ranting for so long already, i think i need to stop now. I have a final exam dis Wednesday n i'm not sure if i can study considering how i've been suffering from withdrawal syndrome for d past 2 weeks..oh Wednesday, plz come earlier!

edit: I didn't know the woman was supposed to be MN's (supposed) mother, so please don't mind the above. Where it's MN, it's MN's (supposed) mother, and for Heyi, it's her ancestor (to highlight their rivalry ...cough...)

Your recap + the hilarious GIF + symbolism = WIN

This was the episode when I REALLY got annoyed with Heyi. She was just funny earlier, but in episode 9 and 10 she started grating on my nerves, so I hope that this is it for her.

I also agree with your whole 'layering' theory! Everything just ties together so nicely and it's just really rare that it does in dramas...at first I was iffy about ShinWoo suddenly liking Minam, but then they put in flashbacks of scenes that weren't actually in the drama, and also him saying that 'life was very boring'. I think that's great development, and that it gives us an insight into idols' lives and how isolated and repetitive it can be. So that's why I don't think it's too stretched that they all fell for Minam.

That said, I couldn't stop laughing at the supposed pregnancy scene. Oh Jeremy, how I love you and your thick-headedness... and this drama just gets better and better with all the epic lines 'DONT BE WHERE I CAN'T SEE YOU!' and the awesome acting...*sigh* One week has never seemed so long...

First of all, I wanna thank you for the recaps, your site is awesome and I'm truly grateful that your recaps introduce me to You're Beautiful, its like my new crack cocaine. =)
I've been a lurker for the longest time, but this episode just did it for me and I also gotta say "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE..."

I love, love, love this drama and its really nice to find a drama that is funny, refreshing but still tugs a little something at your heart strings (especially, after a couple of disappointments in the recent trendy dramas that aired).

Props on that GIF though, Tae Kyung face is so hilarious! that was probably one of my favorite funny moments this episode.

and is it just me, but everytime TK purse his lips, don't you just wanna plant a big kiss on him?? Lol, he does it ALL the time, its like he's asking for it =)

"Korean dramas like this one should come with a warning-extremely addictive and emotionally hazardous.What on earth will I do when this is over?:-( And JGS and PSH- All I can say is WOW:-)"

Thank you so much for the recaps. I was waiting for a commentary on the cast's acting but learned something about the Hong sisters instead. I also thought that the 2nd male lead in Delightful Girl Chun Hyang was so clingy he didn't want to budge. So irritating.

Again, very insightful post, JB. Keep it coming! :-)

A little squee from over here. Way to step up to bat Shin Woo! Nicely done cliff hanger Hong sisters!

Oh and @135 Nano
Jeremy was angst-ing all over the first 8 episodes or so. He finally seemed to calm down about trying to figure out why he seemed to like GMN when he handed her a book by a drama writer about it being more important that you love than about who you loved....more or less.

Eventually I want the real Go Mi Nam to show up to first throw a spanner in the works and yet clear up any problem with the public about his sister. Well, that and I want to see if PSH can pull off a brother act. Besides, we still have some traditional k-drama hoops to jump through and make serious fun of.

In the meantime, we'll just have hang here off of our cliff and enjoy the view.

@ mie

"ABOUT GODDAMN TIME SHINWOO. ^^"

Well said! :) mie you are a genius with words- I couldn't find another phrase that would express it better!

SW my love, you took a looooong while, it has been painful at points in the last 9 episodes watching you watch the world go by... and to be honest at first I wasn't keen at all on your mopping, but then you showed me that you were doing things the whole time for MN, and when you told her help you with bag just so you could help her with hers. I knew I was in love.

I know it's a no-win situation for you, and I know you missed your boat episodes ago, and in my heart I even feel its right and proper because, TK and MN are just beyond words ("Thank you for being born" is a very touching phrase when said by one abandoned orphan to one pretty-much-abandoned-orphan) but I'm glad you haven't given up, I'm glad you're going for it.

Tennyson wrote about a famous light brigade that died charging canons, but I think his words about Ulysses is more for you-

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

Throughout this whole episode I went from giggling to squealing to yelling to shouting "YES!" while clapping my hands in agreement to feeling upset. This is a first! I've always tried to keep a straight face and slowly absorb in everything but there were so many priceless moments.

Firstly, the twist at the beginning shocked me (Hong sisters' knack for twisting the story is just so amazing)
Then, the lime episode and the part where TK finally decides to step up and care for her instead of letting SW go to her made me go "YES" because he's finally facing his feelings for her like a man should! It also provided precious time for both of them to be together and for TK to show how much he knows MN. ("Thank you?", "I'm sorry?", "I'm fine?"- LOL!)
Thirdly, I can't stand the way YHY manipulates MN, she was shown to be a through and through pain in the ass. I agree with most that her time is up, watching her upsets and tires me even though UEE is a very good actress.
Fourthly, I liked how TK suppressed his anger and got back at the pregnancy scheme of He Yi's by flirting/playing with her feelings only to crush her with that SMS!
Lastly, the last scene was nothing like I imagined but it reminds us of quite a few key elements of the love triangle (if you exclude Jeremy for now) thus far. SW being the protector in the final crucial moment and TK being the one who wants to help but can't because of certain limitations.

The next week is going to be torturous, but having the next 2 episodes of the show as a reward that comes at the end of it makes me feel much better!

It's such a rollercoaster ride. I'm thoroughly exhausted from watching hours of Episodes 9 and 10 straight and reading your recaps (but keep them nice and long please!!) considering I just finished 2 long exam papers this morning. Glad my exams are finally 80% done so I can indulge in this guilty pleasure without feeling so much guilt starting from next week!!

(3rd comment so far...)

wahahaha...I was right, it IS a parody of Jo Sumi's MV of Empress Myeongseong (나 가거든 is even played)...it even had the sang-goong in charge of the Queen intervene on her behalf before being killed...and instead of "내가 조선의 국모다!", it went "내가 고미남의 애미다!" (or something...)

unfortunately, the assassin was Hoon-yi-faced...

watched the episode, spec. the part of Hoon-yi and the stylist...

JB, it's not a grand woman, but it's clearly a Queen Consort; if you can rewatch, the woman's (or MN's suppossed mother) 의상 has the royal patches (2 in the shoulders, 1 at the front, and the other at the back), and her 비녀 is dragon-shaped...

If that is so, then that would make both MN and SW princes!!!
(with MN as 왕세자 저하, thereby making MN on level with Shin (of Goong))

to me this episode was actually better than ep9! and i thought ep9 was fun (and real cute). i really love that scene where he shouted "i told you not to be where I can't see you!" :D:D but totally agree that that last scene didn't surpass Last Scandal's. Am still not diggin' SW (at this rate with only6 eps to go, i probably never will!) so I hope they won't turn this into a clichwed love triangle. Heyi's perks are getting tiring too, so i hope they put her aside from now - all her moves backfired anyway!

I LOVE the word play in this drama. The plentiful of symbolism, metaphors, analogies etc were terrific! It made the audience think, and that's a really good sign.

My heart stopped too (twice) when TK yells out "Dont be in a place where I can't see you". And I also LOVE TK's conflicted expressions then. Worry, hurt, afraid, upset, mad, love (still subconsciously though) all jumbled in his face. JGS played that beautifully. I don't know about SW, although I can accept what he did the way he did, but during the face-off at the last scene, TK's stare was so deathly compared to SW that it scares me a bit. Ok. TK wins the staring game hands down.

p/s I guess all our heart stopped right there and then with TK's words (I thought today's headline would read BREAKING NEWS: MILLIONS OF YAB FANS SUFFERED HEART FAILURES or sumthin like that ) LOL. That would bring up the ratings LOL. But we're being resurrected so we can continue watching the drama, aren't we? :)

I’m so heart-broken in so many ways.

How the little things kill me!

TK straightening the ears of the pig-rabbit as if to say “straighten up and get better MN!”, TK kicking the air in frustration after he cannot get MN to go to the hospital as if to say “ I’m going to kill her if she doesn’t succeed in killing herself first!”, TK with worry etched all over his face leaning over to tighten MN’s seat belt, covering her with his coat…. And poor MN stubbornly, stubbornly, ever so stubbornly refusing to look at TK, TK parting her hair before using the ice on her forehead…. Stop it you two! If you keep this up I’m going to burst!

I've asked it before and I'll ask it again "How does JGS do it?!"

He delivers lines like “I’m now responsible for you” in this flat tone (you can see TK doesn’t like doing this) and then yawns, uncurls from the same bed as MN is on without even touching her and yet you feel like it’s the most romantic thing in the world! Urggg! Killing me softly indeed!

And just when you think, dang all the angst, MN just go with Jeremy so we can stop this nonsense!

Then the Hong sisters (and the charming manager) manage to make me break out into giggles- a croaking villain who kills MN’s royal mom?! 

I was giggling like hell when TK has this ‘fantasy’ of MN in a sexy outfit blowing him a kiss, or in a silly looking pink dress puckering up!!! Hilarious since the MN there looked like the PSH in two of the Etude ads she shared with JGS (sexy kiss one, and cutesy school one!) ;)
