That Winter the Winds Blows - ep 2
I continue to love this, especially due to Jo In Sung's searing performance. His eyes! His eyes whenever he looks at Song Hye Kyo!
His desperation drags me into the story with him and finds me rooting for him to pull off what is, objectively, a pretty horrible scam. But then JIS makes me care for his characters even when he plays a mob killer as in Dirty Carnival or the messed-up mess he was in Frozen Flower. There is something so powerfully alive about him.
I really wish Eunji would just let it go - if her sister chose to off herself after being dumped, I fail to see how it is JIS' fault. Seriously, woman, let it go! Get therapy. I did love JIS' character conversation about how he only lives because he breathes and wakes up in the morning, but does he have to have a great meaning in life to want to live? No.
And here we get to the heart of the story for me - JIS and SHK - both wounded, both layered. And somehow, he is more himself, more genuine with her, despite the deception, than he is with anyone else. She gets to him without trying. Just look at his eyes.
