Snow Queen, how come you are so wonderful?
I have just finished episode 11 of Snow Queen. How come it gets better and better? And I am a little in love with both Hyun Bin and Sung Yuri for being able to convey so much with barely any change in expression. And I continue to be amazed by the 'purity' of the light this is filmed in.
Oh. Oh. OH.
Poor TW. And poor Bo Ra. My heart breaks for them both because throughout the two eps, he is trying to push her away so hard but it's killing him more than it's killing her.
I want to take him by the shoulders and shake him and tell him 'How in the world is it your falt your friend killed himself? Were you supposed to lose a math competition on purpose so your friend (who you had no indication was idiot enough to kill himself over something like that) would win? And hey, it's not like he placed second, he wouldn't have won anyway. And were you supposed to stay quiet when he was yelling horrible things at you, and once again, how would you know he'd be moron enough to kill himself?'
But yes, she confesses her feelings again and he keeps pushing her away again. He really looks like he wants to die when he tells her that the only reason he was nice to her was because he felt sorry for her. And when she asks about the kiss, and he has to tell her he can kiss her without loving her and 'do you want me to kiss you now?' And the thing is, he is trying to be as gentle as he can (you see him lamenting to his confused friend that he wasn't harsh enough) because it's like tearing his own heart out, but she keeps coming after him (because OMG her love is as true and pure as his own, and she's really matured) and so he has to tell her things like the above or that he has never liked her fora second. She asks him that straight out so he has no choice and he looks so tormented.
But the thing is, I want to smack him, but at the same time to make it all better: because it's killing him. His hands are always clenched into fists, nails digging in, and after one confrontation, the way he is leaning on the wall makes me think that if it wasn't there, he'd collapse in a heap, unable to stand.
And the thing, he can't help but slip up: he loves her so much, he cannot help it. The hungry look on his face when he is talking to the President and President takes the phone call from the housekeeper and asks how Bo Ra is feeling...he is drinking it in. And he must be feeling awful: he is all about protecting her and taking care of her but now she is sick and it's his fault. Of course, he thinks he is doing it to protect her from greater harm (but I think a part of it is his fear to finally live, live fully, too because he'd feel guilty he is happy with Jang-Gyu's sister).
And OMG, he can't help it: the scene that really killed me is when Bo Ra came to find TW's Mom and Mom was harsh to her (to drive her away) and Bo Ra stumbled out, crying but but but TW overheard it...and his face. No wonder his Mother flips...he looks like he's seen his own death and he is utterly out of it and all he says is 'I can't le her go like this...she'll keep on crying' and he shrugs off his Mom's arm as if he doesn't really notice it there. And he walks after her, devouring her with his eyes, and you see it's killing im every time he sees her sob. And he almost touches her. EEEE!
Or the way he looks at her window or stands outside her gate various days. Or the way he remembers their bus ride (and so does she). Or the scene that is just...during theboxing match. When he sees her and he just keeps getting pummelled as I think some sort of expiation but also because he doesn't want turn his face away from her.
And I love it when they meet and he grabs her by the arm (finally) and tells her she doesn't have to leave, he'll leave instead and she is being so grown-up and tells him she's been miserable and cried because of him, but she's also never laughed so much and never been so happy so she isn't sorry she liked him and thank you. And walks away and he is frozen. And then he is drinking drinking drinking and all he is remembering is telling her he nevered cared for her.
OMG. Poor TW. Poor Bo Ra.
But things are heading towards some sort of crisis because Geon-Woo just found out TW and Deuk Gu are one and the same person (and TW admitted to it) and Bo Ra expressed an interest in meeting TW and her Dad told her it's TW's fault her brother is dead.
Did I mention that I love how TW is resuming his studies? Or that he told his school friend (who's cute too, btw) that he wants to stay Deuk Gu for a bit longer because then it means he can like Bo Ra.
EEEE!!!
