Looks like Yellow Handkerchief is really going for ratcheting up the twisting of the heartstrings here to wring out every last fan tear it can w/ this Ja-young-Young-joon break-up. I can confess to my fellow addicts that I bawled like a baby at the end of today's episode...especially when I saw the previews of Young-joon's scenes, which I could only observe, not understand. It really does appear the poor, unsuspecting lout will not find out in time and Ja-young will make her secret exit before he knows what hit him.
What torment it must've been for Ja-young spending those last hours w/ the love of her life, all the while him beaming at her, blissfully ignorant of the horror about to befall him. How can it be a smart guy like this didn't catch on to all her verbal hints, most notably her use of past tense? Blinded by love is the only excuse I can think of. Poor Young-joon. He's gonna feel like Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, standing on that train station platform in the pouring rain reading Ingrid Bergman's abrupt and unexplained good-bye note, the ink running in the rain as the page gets soaked while he's reading it...that's going to be how Young-joon feels when he reads Ja-young's horrible words.
And this is slightly off-topic, but I just had to comment on one other thing: could you all believe that Hyun-ji today? That she-devil defines the word "nerve" and "chutzpah". I couldn't believe her demanding an invitation in to join them, after showing up uninvited and unannounced, no less---and then chastizing them for shacking up, according to her assumptions. And then running back to Grandma to tattle. I wasn't moved one bit by her crocodile tears...was anyone else?
The worst part is, I'd bet the farm she'll listen to Grandma Sohn and stick around a while longer to see what scraps she might be able to cadge, despite yet another "threat" of hers to give up and go ahead. Yeah, right. And I'm Condoleeza Rice.
