Did you lose all semblance of speech? Hee. And I see you are marathoning Giant. I thought you were going to savor this baby! Teasing you! That was about my reaction, and I've watched that scene like 56 times now. Abouts.
It was all so very awesome. Though I have to say the whole sequence gave me complete EoE overtones - not only did they run away to be together, but they did it at the shore. There was even the bit where he told her to leave, thought she did, was despondent, but it turned out she didn't. (I gotta say, Giant has major EoE vibes - when Gangmo was yelling "Hyung" at his bro with the hugging, I started cracking up because I remembered the hugging/shouting sessions in EoE - man, if EoE had an American fanbase, the slash would have been through the roof).
I think I *gasp* liked EoE's sequence better (though I adored Giant's) probably because it was such a huge thing when he finally told Grace he loved her - because we the audience almost knew it, but not quite, and he really needed to get it out, and she was so ecstatic to hear it. But here, the gender roles are reversed and I guess PJH's cold vibe never really gave me the feeling she loved him before this (she just realized it in fact) and he hasn't been trying to

Hahaha, I totally can see that. Bc the stupid writers in EoE decided to split the main girl into two characters, LDH and LYH, it totally screwed with my head. (1) I don't much like LYH, she's not a very good actress, so I was just waiting for her section to end to get to LDH, who I was told was the OTP, then (2) they shelved the LDH storyline (she had such a weak story line to begin with, who are we kidding), so it was already too late for me to feel invested in Grace/Dong Chul
( ... )
MAJOR. MAJOR EOE vibes, but they did more. And I like that.
I watched EOE mainly for LDH. It was her first ~srsbzns~ role in a long, long time. Then I waited... and waited... and waited... I was even desperate for her to just turn evil crazy bitch whatever even though it was not with Dong Chul ... anything. But LOL, nothing. Too bad though because she was good in the first few episodes she paraded in.
Then later on, you can tell with her doe eyes that she had this total WTF look in her. As if telling us, the audience, "Hi. I am Lee Da Hae... and I'm walking the dog. I'm walking the effing dog. This is my scene. Dennis Oh has a better character than mine. Hi. See this dog? Cute. Now I have a plant. Hi."
It was painfully embarrassing watching her there. I think if they have stuck through making Grace-Hye rin one character like they planned, they would have had less conflict.
That said, I was actually heartbroken with the Dong Wook-Ji Hyun storyline because I wanted her to cheat.
