Mary ep 11 -- thank you, new writer!
The many jealous faces of Mugyul:
I'll be honest with you. After ep 10 of MSOAN, I was this close to giving up on the drama. It was a chore to sit through it, the story was going nowhere, and the M&M moments were scarce.
However, I am glad flisties told me to keep up with ep 11. New Writer, ILY!!! The plot still makes no sense (if possible, it makes even less sense) but that's a given with MSOAN. However, the story now moves - it progresses, it has pace. Jung In has been given a personality, annoying characters (parents, Joon) have been minimized, and M&M get the lion's share of screentime which is what is needed to make this drama work (also, their misunderstandings don't drag out as in ep 10). It's funny again and heart-tugging again.
Plus, plot insanity or not, I could never hate an episode
This just might be my favorite scene in the whole drama, even more than the window airplanes. Because he went to the rink, where his bitch mother abandoned him, and you can tell he's feeling like crap even wearing Maeri's sweater, and then Maeri shows up. She came for him, remembering what he said about wanting to wear the sweater she made and go to the rink, even though it's after they had a fight. Because that is what family does, that is what people who love each other do - they stick with each other no matter what - fights may come and go but you stick by the other person. I love that she came for him - it should totally erase the time his bitch mother didn't. Just - the grin on his face makes my heart melt. Maybe it's because I am a Mom myself.
I really think he's slowly letting go of his desire for his mother to love him. In part because he now has someone who does love him and does care for him.
I know I owe everyone replies. I promise to get to them asap. If it makes you feel any better, I am behind on my three dramas (MSOAN, SG and Gloria) too.
