Ahhh, Secret Garden. Still perfect.
Instead of watching my backlog, I am continuing with my SG rewatch. Such a perfect perfect drama.
And how amazing is Hyun Bin?
"You may think it's a waste to give her to someone like me, but if you do, I'll live my whole life happily as this woman's man, as Gil Ra Im's man."
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. How far did Ra Im and Joo Won come? Would "my bride must have this and that and social standing and super-fancy education and pots of money and perfect looks" Joo Won ever have thought saying he was unworthy to marry a penniless blunt stuntwoman with a high-school education and looks far from a porcelain doll? And yet they have come full circle, to somehow right after Ra Im's father died saving Joo Won and Joo Won wanted to go and comfort Ra Im but felt so guilty and traumatized he literally repressed everything.
JW would have been somewhat odd even without stressors, but it's this whole incident and the trauma and memory loss that turned him into the panic-attack-prone neurotic who was oddly out-of-place in the world, functional only through routine and 'cheat' methods and frozen solid emotionally until Ra Im brought him out of his shell.
Bonus of awesome secondary OTP:
