First of all, yes, it gave us plenty. BUT also no resolution to anything. GAH.
May I say here though, f**k yeah, In-hae. You may have been a day late and a dollar short, but you TELL him that he hurt you and call him out on that selfishness. WTF was he even thinking?? Also, then stay by his side to show him how it’s done.
They’re still having Do-sik sit on that goddamn fence though, only ever saying or doing things that could be interpreted a number of ways. It’s sort of pissing me off, because it’s going to come down to the line.
Did you see the preview scenes from tomorrow? If not, I won’t go there, but if so I have questions and theories to discuss.
YAS. I love that she called him out. He needed that smack across his unbeating heart and hear it loud and clear that it is no way to treat someone you love. It reeks of disrespect, and you would have drank enough blood in your life to recognise it. Now, stick to your promise, a pinky promise is the most sacred thing, EVER.
Not sure if it is a good thing it is going to come down to the line, but too many shows started wrapping in the penultimate episodes, and usually left me finding most finales lacklustre.
I have to say, Do-sik has shown me range that charms me, especially during the final scenes today, I am finally seeing what you are seeing.
But @attiton, this episode had me mad worried. And yes, I saw the preview, and I am VERY VERY VERY worried. Send me your theories, you know I always love your thoughts!
Also, WOOT, re: Do-sik! Thanks for even saying it 🙂
And are you sure for realz you want my thoughts on tomorrow? Because I have A LOT. OK I’m going to keep it to two things.
First, I should say/repeat straight away, I do not think that there is a single way in heck that this PD is going to harm even the smallest part—not even a cell—of 2PM’s Taecyeon. This is going to be an HEA, no question.
Second, I’m 90% sure it’s Do-sik’s voice saying, “How is that In-hae’s fault,” when Hae-won is threatening everyone because “they’re trying to kill Woo-hyeol.” This is actually another thing I’m irritated about. I see the character parallels–Do-sik is worried about a vampire killing “his” In-hae while Hae-won is worried about a human killing “her” Woo-hyeol–but they made him so awesome and her so not-awesome that I resent the comparison. They really could have done a better job with her character (or, ahem, casting). Anywho, how awesome would it be (and I think we’re going to see it) to have Do-sik protecting In-hae from Hae-won and, obviously, from hot-hot-silly-campy-delectable Man-hwi…instead of from Woo-hyeol.
Which leads me to the main thing. I want to talk about who gets fed those drops of blood from that hand. I think it could be In-hae. I think it could be Woo-hyeol (but it seems unlikely some how??). I think it could be Do-sik. If it’s this last character, he lives. If it is not, he dies. That is my prediction.
PS: The Butt Drama drama is going on at this same time, so sorry if I don’t make 100% sense. It’s not only not an excellent show (don’t know if you’re watching) but it’s probably going to piss people off a great deal. No fun, really. I really want to know what Lee Min-ki saw in this script to make him sign on—maybe it’s coming up later. I hope I have the fortitude to find out.
I needed that assurance, I am sooooo afraid they will show us all the beautiful moments just so we would be pacified and be okay with some sort of bittersweetness. But, if they know how to write interactions that are healthy, and anti-toxicity, they would know how NOT to be toxic to us.
Perhaps I do have a thing for bad boys, cos why do I always go “hmm yums” whenever they show their spikey selves. I like when Do-sik unleashed his repressed barbed side (I would like, be it be towards Man-hwi, or Woo-hyeol, and my heartbeat was abnormal when Taec raged against Man-hwi.
But, I would actually LOVE to see that it is In-hae who will be the one coming through it all without protection from anyone, like she did today being the pillar of strength not only to Woo-hyeol, but to Fang Gang duo when she had assured them they will figure a way out, and she is such a strength to be reckon with.
I didn’t like the casting of Hae-sun in the first episode, but I can’t quite explain why and what, perhaps she didn’t play it believable enough for me to buy the bliss they shared. As for Hae-won, not sure if it is because she could either be cold or obsessive but just doesn’t have enough stature carry either off enough. It is a role that can have so much more potential.
So, I do wonder if having this trinity resolving their differences will be the key of everyone’s survival, linking back to the shared distant past of theirs (if In-hae is indeed somewhat linked to Hae-sun, going by the vibes and flashbacks Woo-hyeol constantly gets), and somewhat is a redemption or sorts for all 3 of them.
I can only add that, yes, I’m still convinced the show will give us a happy ending. But also, argh, they didn’t resolve a single issue except getting Vampie back into the fold! It’ll be an action-packed finale.
I was thinking maybe she would question Do-sik why he has a weapon in his hand, and he might come clean, and our leads would take on his challenge as their own and, which eventually enable him to have a change of… heart hurhur.

Had a tedious week and they joy when I realised it’s new episode day!
Then, the first minute had my heart in pieces.
Sad Taec is peak Taec. This episode gave us plenty.

My friend, I had faith in Do-shik until the very end. He does not want to kill anyone.
Like @PikPokPikPok I believe the answer is in everyone helping each other. In-hae is the woman to make it happen.
