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 snot comes out your nose, but Hyun Bin does it perfectly. The trembling mouth. The red nose. Snot. No single tears. Shaking like a wilting flower and looking generally unmanly. It's fantastic. He looks pitiful which is as he should. A+++++
Okay, so as much as I love Ha Ji Won and Ra Im, this episode was all about Joo Won being miserable, experiencing misery and crying his little snotty nose off.
Oh man, the pain.That break up was just horrible to watch. In a way, I'm glad there weren't any subs and I had to read a recap. If I had to witness Joo Won's baby face falling as Ra Im brushes aside his gift IN ADDITION to understanding what the hell she wads telling him....well, that's just cruel. I'd rather just imagine she was telling him his track suits made him look like he'd just come from jazzercising with Richard Simmons. So yeah, she breaks his woobie heart and just like I told Dangermousie, I watched it all with one hand covering my eyes. Added bonus: I was trying to plug my ears too, but that's more difficult when you only have one hand free. Well, unless only one of your ears works the you're good to go.
And the accident. Oh Ra Im, if I actually feared that you would actually die and hadn't expected this accident ever since like ep 4, I would probably be threatening to hunt down the writers. Oh and the broken vase scene was pure gold. JW doesn't even need to hear the secretary to know what's happened. Oh man, his eyes. LOOK AT HIS EYES.
AUGH and the hospital scene with RI's roommate hysterically crying and having to be held back and the rest of her crew just in tears. AND THEN, oh god, and then JW's zombie walk to her room. He just looks dead. Utterly utterly dead. And then he spends all these days at her bedside just and that's just depressing. It's such a big leap from the JW of the earliest episodes. He's become so full of love for her. He's so tender with her hands I just....not crying yet, but I'm dead on the inside so that's perfectly normal for me. BTW, this show is why I'll never, ever, ever watch Snow Queen. Jesus, Buddha, and Ganesha could all come down on a freaking parade declaring that Snow Queen is the best thing to be seen ever and I'd just take my one way ticket to hell, k? Because seeing Hyun Bin devastated ranks just slightly below seeing Gong Yo devastated. Like, I'm about ready to make some porridge for him to eat. Even though he's a fictional character. And this was filmed weeks ago. THAT'S HOW MUCH I FEEL HIS PAIN.
Gotta say though, out of all the excuses they could have made up in a drama to get the main female lead comatose in a hospital bed, a stunt driving scene ranks up there with the coolest. I mean, it's sad all the same. But Ra Im, yeah, if she's gonna get taken down, she's gonna go down being a BAMF. BTW, I hope the guy who hit her had his car completely totalled, the fucking shit.
AND THE NEXT SCENE. BAWL.The recaps were saying something about him dreaming and her waiting for him and I really didn't understand until I saw him researching upcoming rainshowers. And that right there is where my heart broke into tiny little confetti pieces of misery because 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 and THAT was where the IT'S JUST RAINING ON MY FACE portion of this drama started for me. That sort of devotion, or love just goes beyond something I can't even pretend to comprehend. I guess in a way it makes sense, because you've always gotten the sense that being born to an affluent family he takes these things for granted. He seems to love his mother, but in a very detached way. But 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. Yeah, the more I think I about it the more it makes perfect sense. Before Ra Im, JW was basically a shell of a person but now he's just full of life. Having the one person that makes him feel alive snatched away from him must be gut-wrenching.
Oh god, and finding the last chapter of the Little Mermaid (AKA Asia ruins my childhood once again) and the story of how the mermaid turns into sea foam....DO I EVEN NEED TO WRITE THE FUCKING ELLIPSE. YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING. A LONG PAUSE FOLLOWED BY ME YELLING "CRUEL WORLD, WHY???"
And I don't even get the point of the story except that maybe it was RI's way of telling him that breaking up with him was just like the mermaid disappearing into the sea. Painful. But you know, I'm not a literature major so that's open to interpretation. But anyway, he's just reading this and sliding down against the wall in a fit of crying. OH and he clutches it to his chest as he slumps down as if it's the last thing he has of her and, oh oh god, there needs to be some sort of award for crying is all I'm saying. I'm serious. Even typing this, hours after I've actually seen the drama, I still feel like making him something to eat to try and comfort him. YEAH, Secret Garden is literally driving me crazy. Screw off, yeah. I'll just be here trying to pet JW's hair through my computer screen.
And then he's saying his last goodbye's and driving into the storm. I just want to see the fallout that comes from this when RI wakes up. How would you react when confronted with a person who loved you so much they literally gave up everything for you? THERE'S A NEW EP TOMORROW RIGHT. RIGHT?!?!! There were no previews.
