Secret Garden ep 17
Well, what little heart I had before has been shattered into tiny pieces. Like confetti. Only with bloody misery instead of glitter.
...Sue me, I'm feeling dramatic.
Well...crap. Hyun Bin is just a fantastic crier. I don't know if that's really something anyone would like to be because being a fantastic crier involves looking like absolute shit while ( Read more... )

This is such a great post - can I link to it?
Re: LM story she stuck in his book. I think it was her way of saying farewell and maybe lettng him know she was the mermaid in the scenario (a hint she didn't mean the awful thing she said earlier? No idea).
The thing that makes his sacrifice so huge is that he does it after she told him she never wants to see him again - after (he believes) he gave up everything for her and she dumped him for not doing it sooner I mean, that's sort of like the famous Hanadan scene where Domyouji shows up t be beaten up by goons to save Makino even after she dumped him in a horrible way. Only times 1000.
You never, I never thought about it until you posted it but it's true - it's one thing to kill yourself to save the person you love, but he's giving her EVERYTHING. Everything about him, his body, his money, his family. Everything that's tied to him is gonna be left to her. It's not just suicide - it's total abnegation of self - as if has never existed (very Little Mermaid). If you thnk especilly about the kind of man he was at the beginning of drama - what he told Seul about love matches at their ep 1 arranged date - how far he has come.
Ra Im is the one person that he's probably ever connected to on such a deep level. Having someone in your life like that after such a long period of loneliness and then having that person snatched away.
Yes, you get more and more sense of JW's utter alonness as the drama progresses and his lack of real connection to the world - except through books - he lives in his head, coccooned from emotions - not sure if this happened since the accident or he was always like that - but he is sort of a robot boy as the story opens. And then he finds and falls for Ra Im and it's as if all the emotion he's never showsn (or at least for a ong time) has finally found an outlet - this is why he's so intense with her and so goofy and so childish and so everything. It's basically normal emotions times 20.
I have no idea, if you are RI, how you live with what he did for you in ep 17 - especially since you are constantly reminded every time you look in the mirror, every time you put on clothes, every time you see your hands.
Re: Snow Queen I have no idea how I got through that one. I was much younger and more resilient? I do know I bawled my way through half the drama and was making unholy bargains if they only let her stay alive for him. (It didn't help that HB's character in that was the sweetest, gentlest, wounded soul ever. Argh).

Sure. No problem.
Honestly, when you posted something in your LJ about how it all just turned into Ladyhawk I was like "...the hell." but then I realized what Joo Won was gonna do. Ugh. It's completely suicidal, but damn if I didn't find it romantic as hell.
Oh and yes! The Hanadan comparison! I hadn't thought of that before you pointed it out. But yes, he's basically giving everything to Ra Im even though he thinks she wants nothing to do with him. It just blows me away. That would require so much love that I'm not even capable of imagining.
Thank god there's anew episode. When I didn't see previews I freaked out a bit. And by "a bit", I mean I nearly punched a wall.
