To the Beautiful You episode 5 is full of sweetness
It's funny, but with every episode TTBY owns a larger and larger share of my heart. It is a lot darker/angstier and romance-driven than either the 2007 Japanese drama or the Taiwanese drama (and likely the source manga itself - which is probably as romantic as this drama but a bit less angsty), which I've seen put off others elsewhere but speaks to me immensely - I always prefer angsty and romantic. (Don't misunderstand - this isn't Sorry I Love You or even Cinderella Unni level of angst, it's still a darling shoujo story).
And I continue to be so in love with Tae Joon and Jae Hee - TJ is this rarity in a kdrama male lead - a quietly steady good guy. He's not an icy chaebol or a bastard needing to be tamed or anything. Even in the earliest eps, he would show caring, and by now any shell has just cracked - I loved the most in this ep that even when he lost his Mom's ring rescuing Jae Hee he pretended it wasn't a big deal so as not to make her upset. Awwwww. And Jae Hee is such a darling - in this ep we learn he reasons for coming over and they make sense (well, in shoujo world, anyway).
Anyway, this ep was pretty much a treasure trove of shippiness.
He asks her to stay.
The rescue! I know it's CPR but inner fangirl is screaming 'kissing!!!!'
He tries to reassure her it's OK he lost his Mom's ring even though he's very upset. And she spends all night looking for her, and he finds out and fishes her out. I love them!!!
AWWWWWW!!!
What an unexpected little gem.
