hazeljrr_c922 8,461 Posted July 10, 2017 @V and all the recappers, Thank you. . I am speechless. Dunno what to say..... what an episode. I hope DM will be ok in the rematch. And we need good moments, a good ending tomorrow with AR and DM back together. It isn't too much to ask, right? 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't mind her nagging at DM for fighting and tell him not to do MMA before but it does seem strange that her occupation now is exactly watching people fighting. I know it's different when it's not someone you care about but still. Either way I really didn't want her to choose the break up option. I thought she would at least stick it out with him...I know and hope that it's only temporary seeing as tomorrow is the last episode. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mindy 2,422 Posted July 10, 2017 MAN...when DM said "Can't you just stay by my side?" It killed me. WHY MUST THE WRITER and PD do this to us in the episode before the last...you can't spoil us with all those sweet moments and then do this. Talk about whiplash. My heart is hurting right now. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qynn 2,173 Posted July 10, 2017 Sigh. I said after last Tuesday's episode that the one thing I didn't want was a separation/breakup because I totally saw this coming. Oh, I know they'll end up together, but I hate how writers love to separate couples going into the finale. At least this doesn't involve someone going to a foreign country and forgetting how to text, call, skype, email but it's still a bummer. Wonder if there will be a time jump? Oh and I'm glad we know for sure the Landlady is Ae Ra's mom, but still not crazy about it. Don't think the show needed a long last parent, and Ae Ra isn't going to have any time to properly react. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindy 2,422 Posted July 10, 2017 So did anyone catch the bit after the commercial?? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyoto_rh 182 Posted July 10, 2017 I'm a mess. But I also know that if I'm put in the same position, I will chose to leave, like Aera. Living in constant fear that your loved ones will get hurt, permanently disabled and even died is not for my weak heart. I don't think I will be able to recover and continue living if any of those happened. As much as it hurts not being with DM, I think Aera is doing the right thing for her sanity. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, me too. I hope she will be able to overcome her fear after meeting and getting to know other MMA fighters... She has to face it otherwise she will not be able to be there for a long time (in the case of a career facing them everyday in various situation). BTW, it is easier said than done. It is too difficult for her, at the moment. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joyue_1 2,377 Posted July 10, 2017 Wait... so AR's mom was a singer and acted in an erotica before?! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aunniek 4,528 Posted July 10, 2017 Even though I'm sobbing, I'm glad the writer had DM, be DM. Being a fighter means accepting that injuries happen and he's always done that. I'm glad he is staying with his dream. He loves AR, no doubt, but I think she thought she could change him into a 9-5 guy (re: episode 5) and that is not him. Hopefully, she'll come to understand that part of the DM that she loves is the fighter and will support him again. I just keep thinking of her previous "I'll take 2 out of 3 bullets for you". I know this will not be a popular opinion, but I think this is one of the bullets that she should be taking for him. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stroppyse 110,940 Posted July 10, 2017 AR interviews a fighter on tv. DM regains his hearing. Lady Hwang visits a man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztrSjPAD3YU (AR interviewing another fighter.) AR: What I am curious about is that I had heard you had hurt your shoulder. Aren’t you afraid of going back into the ring again? Fighter: Since it’s only this much, I’m lucky. AR: Lucky? Fighter: Thinking of Sam Vasquez or Gary Goodridge, it is scary. (Sam Vasquez died in the ring. Gary Goodridge developed dementia from too many hits to the head) AR: Why those athletes? (Later in DM’s apartment) AR: (speaking very loudly) I’m defrosting a porridge in the fridge, so make sure you eat it. Don’t just lie there, not eating anything… (DM comes up and backhugs AR) DM: Yah. Why are you making such a racket and shouting? (AR turns around to look at him) AR: You can hear? Can you hear everything now? DM: Yes, I can hear everything now. I could hear you every bit of you making a racket just now. AR: Oh, you enemy-like thing. Really. (DM hugs AR again) DM: I was really scared. Really scared. (Lady Hwang walks into the office of a man) Lady Hwang: How have you been? (Lady Hwang and the man are both sitting in his office) Lady Hwang: You look well. Man: I looked for you everywhere. (Man kneels to Lady Hwang) 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there is a real possibility that she'll just return to Japan without telling her. Especially if DM and AR work things out. But, as you mentioned there could be a time jump and maybe they'll just have they relationship at a comfortable place by then. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindy 2,422 Posted July 10, 2017 @Yongzura No worries. It might have just been a stills but I heard the music come back on and thought it might have been something then my computer died.

xxPeepsxx 8,802 Posted July 10, 2017 Everyone's saying that AeRa should just accept that DongMan's gonna fight... but I keep thinking that she did. She just can't live with someone like that. So rather than continuing and knowing how she's going to crumble if she stays on, she makes the pain short and needed to break up. If it's anyone who needs comfort and assurance, it's her. I don't know how, but someone's gotta counsel her. She's not getting out of her trauma any time soon, not if she's left alone like that. I realise that it's not just a 10-year thing. It's been happening since she became aware of the world, in other words, she's been living with it for all her life. She's not avoiding it because she won't handle the terror. It's because she can't. Of course I hope that she'll come round, but right now, unless someone convinces her that taking that risk is better than hiding and breaking off with DongMan just to avoid the possibility of losing her loved one, I don't think she'll be able to go back to DongMan at all. Maybe the person who'll be able to convince her is Landlady Hwang, who's gone through terrible betrayal. Or even her adopted brother, who seems to be scared of losing his mother. But no matter what, I don't think it's fair to think that AeRa's the problem in the relationship. Or expect her to forget about her traumas and just come back happily. This time, she's not taking the bullet for DongMan not because she won't, but because she can't. But it doesn't mean that DongMan refusing to give up fighting was wrong! 16 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
