getreal48 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 No one's recapping episode 17?Miyoung discovers that Gunnie is Young-ja unni, and demands an explanation to why he tricked her. Gunnie starts by saying that his ex-wife became a famous artist, and he was just curious to know how she was. And that, he liked the painting of GD so he bought it. When he starts trying to maneuver his story to make it seem like he was a jerk in blaming Miyoung, you can see his eyes are filled with so much sadness and he does not dare look straight into her face at times. His eyes totally betray whatever he feels, and when he lied to Miyoung about having no choice to pretend to be Young-ja, his eyes are full of sadness and conveying his utmost apologies to Miyoung. On the other hand, Miyoung has that kind of anger where it's the silent kind of anger, but probably the most effective and deadly, and I am legit scared for Gunnie because Miyoung was that scary :/ Her world came crashing down once before because of Gunnie, now that her 'new life' is back, it almost comes crashing down when she realises that the soul mate she's been talking to is none other than Gunnie. Here, you can see Miyoung remembering the poker chip moment (as long as you have that chip, there will always be a chance), and asking Gunnie if whatever he says was true, hoping against hope that Gunnie will say yes. Of course, we know what happened, and Gunnie played down those SMS talks like it was nothing, hurting Miyoung further. Gunnie encouragement moment again: at the end, he calls Miyoung by 'Kim Mi Young-sshi'. From what I've observed, every time he wants to tell her the truth and his heartfelt words, he will ALWAYS use Kim Mi Young-sshi, because deep down, that's who she is. And he chides her for being unable to change her inner self, and not being strong enough. It can be intepreted that he was trying to push her to be able to stand up for herself and not always get bullied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest psycheros Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Gun deliberately and cruelly attacks her vulnerable spot: her "gullibility" in trusting others. He could have told her the truth when she discovers him with the painting. This is the second encounter in act 2 that leaves them both in tears - too many raw emotions..

getreal48 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Miyoung tells Daniel that she wants to go back to Paris and is unable to keep her promise of staying with him until the biennial ends. Daniel gets very upset at this and asks outright 'Are you that uncomfortable in Korea?'To me, this is a sign that Daniel is still VERY unsure about his relationship with Miyoung. If he was that sure, he would have said outright that he saw Gunnie at Miyoung's shop yesterday. Back to Gunnie, he looks SOOOOO down about his altercation with Miyoung. And now looks well drunk into his 4th bottle of sake when meeting with Sera. He's trying to pass off like he's fine and just drinking, but his eyes are filled with so much sadness. Gunnie then starts off saying that a few weeks ago, Sera's mom came to visit him. And Sera knows that her mother went to visit him, but she passes off like she didnt know it. She's at a loss of words however, when Gunnie says to end all ties with her so that she can move on with her life. He took Miyoung's words about being responsible for her feelings and is putting it in practice with Sera.No wonder Daniel and Sera are siblings, both of them trying to pass off that nothing has happened even though they know about it.

getreal48 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Ji-yeon visits Miyoung at her shop, and they go upstairs to have a chat. I love how everyone says that they recognized Miyoung's talent long ago. Haha!Being a good friend, Ji-yeon has no qualms about asking the hard questions, like why she's moving back to Paris when it's clearly more comfortable with her family here in Seoul. She then tells Miyoung that she should be a member of her matchmaking agency, and spills the beans about Gunnie being a VIP member of the agency for three years. Miyoung is surprised at this bit of news, because she thought that Gunnie was attached ever since. And she's even more shocked that he has been single for three entire years!And the funniest part of the conversation is: Ji-yeon asks Miyoung if Gunnie has some problems about small gunnie, and blurts that Miyoung would be the best person to know since.........Hands up to those who can tell what went through Miyoung's brain when she was asked that question. Hahaha, please exert all your byeontae-ness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getreal48 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Gunnie's farewell letter to Miyoung:"Ellie, it made me really happy to recall the most beautiful and glorious moment in my life because of you and this painting. I'm returning it to you but my heart will always remember you.'If I can interpret what Gunnie says, Gunnie was able to be so happy and contented with the painting of GD, because it painted a world for him that he would never be able to have because of the accident. You can tell how many times he has replayed the feeling of having the most beautiful and glorious moments in his mind if he had not done what he did three years ago. In the perfect scenario, him, Miyoung and GD would have been playing 'Snail Catching' in the meadows and hills under the sun everyday. Even though Gunnie would not be able to be physically beside Miyoung, he has channeled all his soul and encouragement into that letter, and giving Miyoung the last bit of encouragement in saying that he will always remember her in his heart. This is again a sign that he took Miyoung's words to heart in episode 13 where she said that being with Gunnie three years ago, was the happiest and most bright part of her life, but also the saddest at the same time. In short, Gunnie always takes Miyoung's words and advice and applies it to himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

only1khj Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 LG let's SR go for real. "SeRa, even if I try hard...and struggle as best as I can...there are things I can't do. There are things I can't do." LG to SR. Takes me back to episode 10 after the auction in my thoughts. So, I guess in this world, some things are impossible.

Love how KMY pulls the picture of GD closer to her like she's trying to protect it.Goodbye, My Love... I thought she was leaning on it for support.. Because I think like how Gun confides only in Gae Dong (and maybe Secretary Tak a little), she has kept her feelings hidden away from everyone - Daniel, Mum and her sisters, Ji Yeon. That imagined representation of Gae Dong is the only one who knows how deeply she is hurting. Which is really depressing - at least Secretary Tak is human.. Gae Dong only exists on canvas.
