Score 1-0 for Mok Dan VS Rie.. She's so badass in this episode and finally ditched the "aggressive without thinking" characteristics. I've always been loyal to MD-KT loveline so this episode is like the biggest gift to me!
Yup, I love how she actually thought things through (whether about leaving the capital or deceiving Rie) but also kept her trademark bravery (that scene with the gun). Honestly, this whole ep was amazing but I really loved how she wasn't just rescued by KT - she rescued him as well.
oooh your last screencap, the clouds seem to mirror the couple below, the white and black in embrace.
And this show certainly has so many layers. White and black intermingling, ever changing, so many shades of grey.
I absolutely agree when you said "when Kangto is mad worried, I swoon". I love the way he leaps and runs when he know she is in danger. You can literally see the hurriedness, the anxiety, the "I must reach her before ...." all written in the body language. The thing about Joowon is that he is an actor who acts with his whole body(and ahem...a very fine one too). That's why he needs little words. I started to notice it in OB because the guy he played was such a understated type of man. But yet, a lot of viewers got so enamoured with how he acted his love for his girl. The little gestures, the light in his eyes, the smile, the little nestling into her shoulders. Swooning again...
I was one of those enamoured by his character in OB :) Yes, Joo Won is very physical and it's such a godsend for this role which requires someone to emote through the mask.
OH BTW I wanted to tell you I started watching Ojakgyo Brothers too! It's like he's the same character, but has mellowed out after a few reincarnation cycles (well, maybe just one cycle, Gaksital is set in the 30's, so not that far back).
I have this feeling that it will be this hug that will pave way for Mok Dan to realize that Kang To is Gaksital. Mok Dan is so Gaksital-obsessed I would believe it if she would remember her very first hug with Gaksital. LOL! I once thought that maybe Mok Dan would fall in love with Kang To first before she would know he is Gaksital (when he was forced to keep watch of her 24/7), but man, in a realistic sense, what is the chance of her falling in love with someone who tortured her numerous times, dragged her around, whipped her, shot her, captured her father and even took a photo to commemorate the capture? Though I love the hate chemistry between Kang To and Mok Dan, I would prefer if she knows SOON! Kang To is so lonely recently (aside from having adorable Abe), and he needs someone to be there for him. Heroes need some support too, you see. :)
Btw, I love your blog, dangermousie! And of course, the screen caps are amazing!
Well, I am one of the 'my God, can none of the people who know KT well see it's KT under the mask' people so I hope she'll recognize the hug if KT hugs her later as himself, but people in BM world seem a little recognition-challenged :)
Yeah, I also thought maybe she will like KT himself but little chance now.
I want her to find out soon but I think narratively, they are going to keep the discovery for late in the game, especially since they have 16 eps left.
I was pleased! I am dying for the next episodes!!! I may have to stop and marathon once it is over because I am going crazy waiting for the next episodes!!
I got kinda distracted by Mok Dan's THICK hair in the last few scenes at the forest. That hair is...untamed. Must be the humidity in Korea right now. LOL Sorry for going off topic -.- And I never think Joo Won is all the good looking, but he looks nice in a suit and in the Gaksital mask...surprisingly.

This drama is all about shades of grey.
