Strangely is that when JH mentioned the sale of the playground, he wasn't upset. Here again we can perceive his realistic nature: Time changes things. However, CSH is different here... we could see this side of her with grandfather Samuel's garden. Remember what she said:  

This has been in my mind!! Could it be foreshadowing? JH is kind of telling that it is ok to let go of things..this makes me think that CSH will let of of Donghwa hotel in Korea ( not the Cuba one) with happy memories as Time changes things!! Maybe not immediately but in the near future and maybe CSH and JH will start another new hotel when they get married!! 

 

I also have a feeling that we will have a small montage of their future that will include a marriage in a year or two and the life after!!  ( ending in Cuba garden ofcoz)

I’m guessing her mom is saying sorry because she doesn’t approved the relationship. His mom told from the start when the news broke about her eating ramyeon with a guy that she’s not the type of woman that she likes. I just hope that she doesn’t throw all the memories he has with CSH since she is in JH room.

@NongpeePI am sneakily listening to the preview, what I heard on very low volume.

 

 

KJH : do I miss my camera or do I miss SH more? 

SH : are you feeling guilty about something? 

JH: never, of course not. 

SH in the boardroom : I can forget and forgive if offered a sincere apology 

JH’s mom : sorry, so sorry. 

 

@ahdrianaa

Thank you s much for your sneakingly listening and translation.

Translation for ep 13 preview

"Seizing my ankles...my memories...my past"

 

"SH chose going to JH's dinner invitation instead of attending the memorial service for President Jung. Thanks to SH's courageous choice, JH solidified his feelings towards her. But the misunderstandings and negative rumors about them are circulating, which in the end start to disrupt JH's ordinary life.

Meanwhile, president Kim gets so angry at CSH that she is about to take legal action to retrieve Donghwa Hotel"

 

Nooooo.....

 

@ahdrianaa @jl08 @utkim

Could I guess as follows:

1. KJH’s mom might be manipulated by sb without her intention which resulted negatively to either KJH or CSH or both.

 

2. KJH might have to face another obstacle impacted to his life while CSH felt painful. 

CSH’s position and hotel management might be intervened, thick&thin challenges from outsiders might make KJH&CSH and their family be more understandingly united.

The playground (part 2)

 

After posting my first comment this morning, I realized due to JWS that this analysis was actually incomplete.

First, we should focus on the different meanings of the playground. A playground is a place where children go to play in order to have fun. And this is no coincidence that JH cherishes this place. This is linked to JH's personality. JH's favourite word is "fun", he was always portrayed as a cheerful young man. Secondly, JH used the playground in order to spend time alone too. So this playground represents his secret place, where he can hide from others. Strangely, a playground is usually full with people therefore it is not really possible to hide. Yet, he goes there during the evening/night or if it is during the day, there is no one else there. Even if there was someone, I am sure, he had a book with him so that no one would approach him. Now, we can better understand why JH is using his smiles as a mask, he acts the same with the playground. This is his habit: hiding something in front of everyone. He doesn't seclude himself where no one can see him. It is in the open air, he has an opposite behavior compared to JWS who goes to his room. Behind doors, our second lead can dwell on his feelings and thoughts.

Then if we pay attention to HI and JH's interactions in the playground, we can see why from the second episode on, her one-sided love was doomed. In this scene, HI is chasing after JH who teased her just before calling her ugly. Sorry if my picture is not so good, but I don't know how to make gifs.

 

Here, you can see on the one hand the playful nature of JH, on the other hand HI's real position: HI has been waiting and chasing after JH but she was not able to catch his heart. So this scene symbolized their real position: HI will never be able to touch him and his heart. JH is not even aware of her feelings. He only has fun on his mind.

Then later in the episode 3, both characters are sitting on the swing next to each other. 

Spoiler

 

Neither JH goes to HI's side, nor the latter approaches her friend. Both remain at the same distance which underlines once more that their relationship will never change. HI will never get closer to JH, but she will remain by his side. This is important because this illustrates that HI will never betray him.

Then if we take a look again at the scene where JH sees his boss for the first time at his playground, the viewer sees how CSH jumps off the swing as soon as JH calls her. Striking is that CSH chose to sit there before JH's appearance. This outshines CSH's sleeping playfulness. This is not visible yet. Then both remain standing close to the swings. Their position and their gesture reveal the gab between them. However, we can see the contrast to the scene in the episode 11:

 

Here, JH is kneeling in front of CSH. He left the swing and went to her side, touching her knee. This scene illustrates everything: CSH has accepted the playground as her treasure, she has already left the chaebol world. This metaphor comes true at the end of the episode 12. But JH's kneeling in front of CSH embodies their respective status in the couple: for him, CSH is his princess. He is kneeling like the boy (credit to @Jemrie)

 who is offering the shoe.

They have here the same position. Striking is that although CSH was considered as a princess due to her marriage with JWS, she was never treated as such in that terrible family. Neither JWS nor his mother treated her like a princess: she was either a maid or a doll. That's why JWS bought her so many expensive gifts. He wanted to dress her up but the doll was always put in a certain place where people could admire her. Yet, it bothered him because the doll never reacted to his gifts. With JH, CSH's cheerfulness has resurfaced, she likes being at the playground, she likes it, when JH pushes her gently... he brings movement and joy into her life. Then now, you must wonder why I came to think about JWS, while analyzing the playground. In my opinion, only when JWS sees JH and CSH interacting at the playground, he will realize that he has never treated CSH like a princess, that he has never known the real CSH. 

Remember that JWS only saw JH bringing CSH home with her car or he saw her at the hotel (episode 3) with JH, our second lead never witnessed how CSH would be in a different surrounding. CSH was always seen in his world with JH but never in JH's surroudings. I think, we will see a scene where JWS sees that playground.

Nooooo.....

Chingus, our JinSoo Couple and we have been there, right? They have weathered all of them and came out with a stronger, steadfast love for  each other...and we accompanied both the highs and lows (i.e. reversals)  of their relationship so this is nothing new.

I believe that JH's mother will change her mind, when she witnesses how CSH is treated by her own mother. JH's mother has a big heart and she treats her son's friends as if they were part of the family. Remember, she offered pants that were too big for JH to DC. So her motherly instincts will be awakened once she sees JMO's arrogant and cold behavior. 

I also hope, we see JH meeting CSH's father. A real conversation should happen very soon. In the past, they used to fight alone for the loved one. I believe that this time, it will be different: facing together the enemies.

[Smudger]

He's so in love with her.. 

 

 

[BogummyNoona]

Yes to that. They need people that will help them for support. They are the "key players" in the rings but they need a warm support and encouragement from the outside force. 

[redbeanbuns]

@leedonghaek his hand with the ring  now I'm officially become a hand fetish of KJH n CSH..haha..

When PBG picture circulated on IG with the PR team,the first thing that caught my eyes was his hand..silly me 

 

My crazy,wild imagination say to me that SH n JH will elope to Cuba.. SH being threat by the evil ex MIL n ex hubby becz SH win the battle (I know its really ridiculous,but I already use all my logical options about how this drama will bring me each episode,which is wrong in any possible way,so I decided to think with my wilderness )

Yes, dear. Our beautiful couple had it the worst but we were there with them all the way! 

They've emerged bruised but not defeated so will we!

Let's sit back and brace ourselves together with wuli KJH and CSH, for the hurricane to come and pass...

 

I'm visualizing the PD will reward us them with lots of sweet and intimate moments like beautiful kisses  in the sunset and not forgetting the ice-skating moments......after the catastrophe so I'm willing to grit my teeth and snarl at the MIL, ex-hubby and SH's mum.....throw a handful of rotten eggs if I can too.

I think SH knows already the culprit as she said in the preview I can forget and forgive if offered a sincere apology .

 

Bang! This is it.
