Extraordinary You Ep10 (19-20)

HaRu ya….
How can you be such a smoothie?

Dan-Oh must be trying really hard to get herself together in front of him. Arghhh. Look at how his smile gets wider and wider. I have no idea how she can put up with this.

This episode definitely feels like the calm before the storm. I’m bracing myself really tight right now. Come what may, I’m totally prepared.

And oh, Do I need to pay my attention to this book??????????

Only 6 episodes to go, you’d better start to give me some answer, please. I’m begging you.

    OMG.. take a closer look. Isn’t that after he took a glance at her lips he’s grining from ear to ear. My heart-rate monitor is screaming!!!!

    Now, I think Dan-Oh is at the Bargaining stage of grif. She’s afraid if she tries to go against the Writer again, others would get hurt, especially HaRu. She has experienced it first hand and still blaming herself on that. So, she thinks if she stays a good girl (10-year one-sided love & heart-disease) quietly as the Writer wants, she would get to be happy with HaRu and all her friends, at least in the Shadow, before she gets killed off of the story. Don-Oh loss of passion is understandable and heart-wrenching. She still wants to live happily but if that comes in the cost of her friends’ (well, her love) lives, she wouldn’t risk it ever again.

    By the way, what happen to a character when they die in the story? Do they go straight back to the character warehouse? Or do they get to stay in the Shadow unnoticable until the story ends?

    Since Secret is supposed to be somewhat a redemption of Flower, because something happened and it ended tragically, I wonder what Fate the Writer has prepared for the three of them (Baek Kyung & Dan-Oh & HaRu).

    Baek Kyung…

    His goal is clear, to restore the statud quo he’s lost. Dan-Oh and everyone’s attention has been totally shifted from him to HaRu. On one hand, I feel really bad for him because it seems like he’s been pushed to the villain side (by everyone including he himself). I can see he’s trying (without much success) to explain and convince Dan-Oh that he’s not as bad as his Stage persona (babe, you have to admit you’re not much better in Shadow). But that’s because he likes her. On the other hand, he’s still a jerk to everyone else. He can not control his temper and always lashes out when he’s frustrated. I can’t blame Dan-Oh (and others) for not fully understanding why he’s being like this. I think he doesn’t even fully understand himself. They are just high school kids after all. But I do hope they will join force pretty soon to fight against the Writer who is the real villain in this story.

    Speculations:

    Flower
    Excalibur-esque.
    Kyung = Arthur, Dan-Oh = Guinevere, HaRu = Lancelot.
    Originally, Kyung & Dan-Oh should’ve ended up together happily and HaRu sacrificed himself for Kyung. But HaRu & Dan-Oh gain self-conciousness first (Kyung might also have later) and fell in love. They tried to change the story. When the Writer knew, s/he took full control over her/his rebel characters only to pushed them further to the edge. Eventually, s/th happened and Dan-Oh died instead of HaRu.

    That’s why she cannot remember anything from her past. Only her sub-councious remembers him.

    Secret
    The Writer tries to make it up to Kyung and at the same time punish Dan-Oh and HaRu. So s/he makes Dan-Oh his fiacée again but this time he gets to play the upper hand being the pertect guy who’s good at study and sports (defective family is just a little drama added for him to have the reasonable excuse to be a jerk to her), while she gets a weak heart. This time she’s the one who goes head over heels for him. Also, HaRu becomes the faceless extra with almost non-existence.

    What I’m not so sure of is that if Dan-Oh was supposed to die here in Secret, how would that make Kyung happy? His self-aware persona likes her, no doubt. But what about his Stage character? If he likes her, wouldn’t he be devastated when she dies?

    If they didn’t share the past lives together, this would be a totally different scenario. But the Writer has been giving the impression that s/he is not so creative and improvident by nature so all of my above theory could be completely irrelevant. Let’s see how it turns out to be. Only 6 episodes to go for this amazing drama.
