When I saw the collage below, I have to post it here as it basically sums up Yongpal, episode 16, that ended in the heartbreaks for YongJin couple and of course, CY over the ruthless killing of DJ (though we, for our own reason, may not have the sympathy for her).

So, no guesses that many ended up down, flat out and in a pool of tears......at least for YongJin couple? I like this illustration of it.

I shed tears when watching the English subs. Yes, I know, I was thinking in backpage that I won't because I am anticipating happy ending and that kept me dried eyes while watching the raw, heheh......but understanding the conversation turned the tide. I was hopelessly and helplessly swallowed by the unstoppable strong wave of emotion that the separation of YongJin couple is not because one is loving the other less due to circumstances including the killing of DJ, but because the gap of their different world had widened and became so huge that separation is unavoidable. Of course I and many others are still expecting a happy ending. We have not got enough of YongJin couple!!!

It was reported that CP will return and she will present an unexpected reversal to the storyline. So, stay tuned for the forthcoming episodes which will be the end of Yongpal! Keeping all fingers and toes crossed that the unexpected reversal is the one the will drive TH and YJ back to each other's arms!

Yong-pal: Episode 16

 

With war brewing outside of Hanshin’s walls, no one imagined that the newest chairwoman could arrange such a mean call to arms. There’s trouble both in the battlefield and at home, with our heroine up against an imposing enemy and our hero struggling with his own internal conflict. With Hanshin entering the war zone, it’s time for everybody to wake up and stop smelling the lavender.

EPISODE 16 RECAP

 

Following that tense conversation with Chairman Choi, Yeo-jin leaves her own party on the grounds that there’s work to be done. When Tae-hyun asks what that is, she simply replies: “War.”

While Yeo-jin orders Secretary Min to assemble the troops, Tae-hyun is told that Daejung is a formidable enemy, but is no way stronger than Hanshin. Because nothing is… or his bodyguard believes that it’s because he can easily beat those puny guys at Daejung in a fight any day. Ha.

He chooses this time to confess that he’s actually younger than Tae-hyun (who’d been calling him “hyung”), to which the latter immediately switches to banmal: “Wanna die?” Hee, I love these two.

 

Yeo-jin’s inner circle is busy discussing whether if they should try to dissuade their inexperienced chairwoman from going to war against Chairman Choi when she walks in, knowing exactly what they were thinking.

Her first order of business is to call for some more comfortable clothes ’cause ain’t nobody gonna prepare for a battle wearing heels. Next she tells them that anyone who’s against war is free to leave, making them all quake in their shoes and voice their support for her decision.

It’ll be the end if they let Hanshin push them around, Yeo-jin says. Handing over Do-joon’s body like Chairman Choi wants isn’t that big of a deal, but allowing the other rivaling conglomerates to see a weak point in Hanshin is. The hierarchy will change in an instant, and they’ll be done for.

 

Marching into the war room, she scolds the strategy team members for their business attire. Since they’re going to get nice and cozy in here for the next three days, they’re free to act however they like, save for insulting her, the one in charge. Cue chorused chuckles.

The goal: Find Daejung’s weakness or they’ll be working elsewhere.

Tae-hyun, meanwhile, is left to wait at home with a modest breakfast versus the usual feast. He doesn’t like being told the saying that one should remain quiet while a war is brewing outside the home, so he enlists the staff to help plant flowers in the overgrown greenhouse. That’s a nice gesture, though it puzzles the head maid.

 

D-1. Yeo-jin and her team are getting nowhere, so she asks the quiet guy in the corner to offer something. Her interest is piqued when he says he’s been analyzing Dae-jung’s email traffic, but then another guy shouts that that’s considered hacking. Oh I’m sorry, were you all planning to go about all this the noble way?

Since all’s fair in love and war, she’s told that Daejung has been using a code word in their correspondences to hide something important. She rises out of her seat when she hears the word—lavender—and immediately knows that her late fiancé Sung-hoon was involved.

The aforementioned code word appeared most in an exchange with a biotech company overseas, and Yeo-jin can’t help but be impressed when the quiet guy tracks it down right away. The discovery gives them a second wind and they all get to work.

After thinking back to Yeo-jin’s vow to kill Do-joon by her hand (which makes me wonder how much Tae-hyun overheard of that conversation), Tae-hyun manages to obtain his bodyguard’s help by telling him that Hanshin’s in trouble.

His plan is to release Do-joon because that will ease the burden on the chairwoman’s shoulders and on Hanshin. He also reaches out to Chief Lee for help. 

It’s D-Day, and Yeo-jin tells her inner circle to simmer down because they’re about to buy up a new company today. She declares that Hanshin will pour its total assets into this acquisition because she figures it will take all of their funds to go head to head with Daejung.

 

No one will be allowed to leave this room, and tells her team to get to work to slowly buy up the biotech company’s stocks. Chairman Choi doesn’t appear worried at first since he’s planted someone in Yeo-jin’s team, but once he gets wind that someone’s buying up those biotech company’s stocks, he angrily demands that the perpetrators be found.

Everyone jumps when Yeo-jin tells her team to let their work go public, ready to face Chairman Choi head on. The old man is also prepared to go to battle and pour all of his available funds into this war.

And to this, Yeo-jin continues to raise the stakes, much to everyone’s shock. “I haven’t even begun,” she tells them. “Soon, the whale will appear.”

 

Back in the VIP suite, Chief Lee ponders over Tae-hyun’s plea before injecting something into Do-joon’s IV. It triggers a seizure, and Chief Lee orders the incompetent nurse to go and prep the operating room.

At the same time, Yeo-jin and Chairman Choi continue to up the stakes. Their back-and-forth turns into a bidding war, and Chairman Choi chuckles confidently when the market momentarily quiets down after he doubles the offer.

But then there’s a huge spike… because Yeo-jin has seen that offer and raised it by another 10 percent. Refusing to lose to the young lady, Chairman Choi calls out an even higher amount.

 

Remember when Tae-hyun’s bodyguard boasted about his awesome fighting skills? He uses it to take down the security guards escorting Do-joon, then helps Chief Lee and Tae-hyun down the hallway.

The head of security catches them on camera and calls it in, only to be told by Secretary Min to leave them be.

Both Yeo-jin and Chairman Choi’s people grow worried when their fellow CEOs up the ante yet again. That’s when Chairman Choi’s secretary gets a call from their mole… 

 

… and it’s Secretary Min. Oooh. Yeo-jin has noticed Secretary Min temporarily leave the room, and when she hears Chairman Choi’s latest bid, she retracts her own. Upon hearing about Do-joon’s escape from the hospital, Chairman Choi wonders if it’s a deliberate diversion, but soon he’s grinning because Hanshin has backed down.

At that, he orders that Daejung retract their offer as well. Problem is, they’re unable to because the deal has closed. Chairman Choi staggers and half-jokes that Do-joon’s body comes with a pricey tag before looking stern once more.

Letting Daejung be the highest bidder was all part of Yeo-jin’s plan to teach Chairman Choi a lesson since Dajung has spent trillions of won more than anticipated in the deal. If the old man has lost that much cash, he ought to stay quiet for some time, she muses. Her success is met with rousing applause.

Tae-hyun calls Chae-young to let her know that they’re on their way. She has a helicopter and a boat waiting to transport her and her husband overseas. Speaking of whom, Do-joon wakes inside the ambulance and doesn’t know why he has to run and leave the country.

 

When Secretary Min brings up the call he received in the car, Yeo-jin supposes it’s about how Do-joon has escaped with Tae-hyun’s help. It’s likely that Daejung is chasing after them right about now, she continues, which makes Secretary Min uneasy.

When he opens his mouth again, Yeo-jin tells him to shut it—she knows he was feeding intel to the enemy. “I was just protecting Hanshin… and betrayed my husband.”

Do-joon is surprisingly sharp for a guy who recently underwent brain surgery and was unconscious just five minutes prior. He takes offense with Tae-hyun’s boldness and couldn’t care less about the many lives at risk just to save him.

The assassination threat from Daejung doesn’t bother Do-joon either—he’ll just exchange Hanshin intel for mercy. Anddd that’s why you’re the guy with the bandaged head.

In her car, Yeo-jin puts on her shades to hide the tears she’s shed.

 

Tae-hyun grabs a fistful of Do-joon’s robe to spell out the grave danger he faces: Daejung knows that Do-joon ordered Sung-hoon’s death. Do-joon cries out that he erased all the evidence regarding that incident.

Tae-hyun climbs on top of him, his hand around Do-joon’s neck, but the latter pushes Tae-hyun off and punches him. After knocking both Tae-hyun and his bodyguard out with an oxygen tank, Do-joon climbs out of the ambulance and waves to the black cars approaching him. He’s gonna die, isn’t he?

 

Chae-young watches this unfold out on the tarmac as the car crashes into Do-joon, sending his body flying before falling to the ground again. The masked man climbs out and reaches into his pocket to pull out… a phone? Oh, so he can speak with Chairman Choi face to face.

Chairman Choi laughs in return, at which point the masked man pulls out a knife and stabs Do-joon with it. By the time Chae-young runs to his side, the cars have driven away. Do-joon smiles at Chae-young one last time before he closes his eyes for the last time. Heartbroken, Chae-young sobs over his body.

Having finally come to, Tae-hyun emerges from the ambulance, only to discover that it’s too late.

 

Yeo-jin is eating dinner when Tae-hyun returns home that night. He’s initially denied entry, but allowed inside with Yeo-jin’s permission. And finally Tae-hyun questions if Yeo-jin has gone too far, asking if she ordered Do-joon’s death.

When she says she did, Tae-hyun tells her not to lie. But she isn’t the type to lie, she says—she knew Tae-hyun would try to rescue Do-joon and that Secretary Min would let Daejung know of that. “So I did order it,” she finishes.

“Were you… using me then?” Tae-hyun asks. In a matter-of-fact voice, Yeo-jin says she needed a figure to hand Do-joon over to Daejung without getting her hands dirty. “You were perfect for that role.”

 

No one would ever doubt his good intentions because of his naively righteous ways. Tae-hyun embodies those qualities to a T, and now Daejung doesn’t even know exactly how Do-joon ended up in their hands.

Yeo-jin rises from her seat but stops at the door to ask, “Do you regret it? Saving me from the 12th floor?

“Yeah… I do.” Tae-hyun replies haltingly, his body tense. Yeo-jin lets that answer sink in before answering that she figures as much since she was responsible for his mother’s death and walking out.

Both Yeo-jin and Tae-hyun sit in the darkness within their respective quarters, reflecting upon all the time (and I mean allll the time—it’s a long montage of flashbacks) spent together.

Tae-hyun goes out for a morning stroll and sees Yeo-jin out in the garden. She’s the first to break the silence, asking if he’s still angry. In a calm voice, Tae-hyun wonders if it’s more like ruefulness. To that, Yeo-jin apologizes and promises never to make him feel that way again.

But Tae-hyun shakes his head—he’s talking about her. She asks him not to leave her then, lest she fall back into the darkness. “So don’t go.”

 

She knows that Tae-hyun must feel resentful towards her, but Tae-hyun cuts her off to say that he doesn’t because it’s not Yeo-jin’s fault that his mother died. Moreover, he won’t blame himself for her death either.

Instead he blames this tragedy on the greed for power that one develops by being on the VIP floor at Hanshin. He wants to go back to being just a surgeon, but Yeo-jin says he can stay up here in a seat of power and do whatever he likes whether that’s destroying the VIP floor or rebuilding Hanshin.

Tae-hyun shakes his head again, saying that they’re on the thirteenth floor, and by dismantling the VIP floor beneath them, they’ll destroy themselves as well. While Yeo-jin can enjoy the view from the top, there’s an entire world waiting down below, including the windy hill they once went to.

Everything that can make them happy is waiting down below. “So do you want to come with me?” Tae-hyun asks. He figures it would be hard for her to give up her throne to run away with him, thinking the idea a crazy one.

But Yeo-jin says it isn’t nuts—a rich world of fresh water and windy wills, those are precious things that can’t be traded with a CEO position. She’s back where she belongs with the crocodiles. Her eyes fill with tears as she says the field trip is over.

His eyes are wet too as he says they’ll get another chance, and when they do, she can always come back to him because he’ll be waiting. He plans to leave before breakfast, adding that he never ate breakfast anyway.

 

She tells him to take care then, and Tae-hyun gathers her in an embrace. He sheds a tear while wishing her well. He lets go a few moments later and walks off, leaving Yeo-jin alone with her tears.

Yeo-jin strolls the grounds and enters the greenhouse which houses a lavender patch once more. She’s told that it was Tae-hyun’s doing, but Yeo-jin doesn’t need anyone to tell her to know and breaks down in tears.

After packing up his things, Tae-hyun takes one last look at the manor before walking off.

 

He doesn’t get far when his bodyguard drives up to him, having been dismissed from his position to take care of Tae-hyun. He asks if Tae-hyun’s got a house to go back to, not because he’s worried for him but because he needs a place to crash. LOL.

At the crematorium, Chae-young watches her husband’s coffin slowly enter the incinerator. As the flames consume the rectangular box, her eyes remained trained on the last of Do-joon.

 

COMMENTS

I wasn’t sure whether I’d be looking forward to finale week, but if Yong-pal is setting us up for Chae-young to dip into the revenge pool too, then it’d be a triumphant welcome for her character. I fear getting my hopes up though, because this show has taken us some odd turns ever since the story has spent more time outside of the hospital than in it.

Still, I found myself enjoying this episode despite the dips in time where I really just wanted to throw a pillow at Tae-hyun. It truly is incredible that he could be filled with such betrayal after Yeo-jin used his good nature for her own revenge… and then be there to comfort herthe next day and act like a saint in saying that he doesn’t resent her. Yes, he admitted that a part of him regretted saving her, and yet he still doesn’t harbor any ill feelings towards her in the end. 

While there’s remorse in Yeo-jin orchestrating the situation that would lead to her having a hand in Do-joon’s death, it still means she counted on Tae-hyun to feel bad for Do-joon and try to spring him out of there. If she placed her half-brother in the VIP suite for that reason isn’t exactly clear or evident, but if she did, I’d say that kind of decision screams more evil-crazy than evil genius because that’s banking on uncontrollable factors. Perhaps it’s because I still find it hard to buy Yeo-jin as a character sometimes when she seems like two different people to me: one who is coldhearted and calculative with her enemies and the other who is teary and cares for Tae-hyun. It’s only more confusing when Tae-hyun has seen both of those faces and still responds the same way no matter which face he’s faced with. Please oh please Tae-hyun—I don’t want to have to look at you, knowing that you were once Yong-pal and now say, “Wow, he dummmbbb.”

Though I must give credit where credit is due, because I found the very quick war between Chairman Choi and Yeo-jin quite entertaining. Aside from the fact that the numbers they were tossing back and forth seemed arbitrary, it was smart of Yeo-jin to tap into the old man’s pride and then use it against him as a lesson to mess with her. I know this isn’t a drama circled around the stock market, but I wish we’d also seen a little more variety than “No, I’ll see your x amount of money and add y!” When it comes to this area of fighting over company stocks, you can say that I’ve been ruined by Story of a Man which tackled these battle of wits with finesse.

While I didn’t expect anyone to mourn Do-joon’s death (though there hardly is anyone leftto attend funerals these days), the thought that nobody but Chae-young was there to send him off is saddening. His temporary heightened consciousness in the ambulance was a sight to behold really, but now that he’s gone, Yeo-jin’s reasons for revenge is all but gone with him. It’s a dangerous place to be in narrative-wise, with your heroine finishing off her revenge against one of her ultimate targets and the interim enemy in the form of Chairman Choi taken care of for the time being. Which is why I’m hoping that it’s Chae-young who steps in and shakes things up or else we spend two episodes working on getting the lovebirds back together somehow.

Even if Chae-young has been out of the spotlight, she still feels more involved than Tae-hyun has. So I hope that his return to the hospital means we get to see a bit more Tae-hyun. I hope you got some rest during that break, Joo-won, because it’s time to get back into the game.

Male and Female Stars Koreans Most Want to Bring Home on Chuseok

 

- skipped unrelated pictures -

 

It’s the quintessential holiday poll. Who would you want to spend (insert holiday here) with? Who would you want to take home to show your parents? With it being Chuseok, one of Korea’s biggest holidays of the year, the time has come again.

Korean lock screen app Cash Slide recently conducted a poll with 1,057 of its users ranging from ages 20 to 40, asking them which celebrities they would most want to bring home and introduce to their parents as a potential son-in-law or daughter-in-law, respectively. Of course the likelihood of this ever happening is slim to none, but, for fun.

First, here are the top 10 female stars.

 

- skipped -

 

2. Kim Tae Hee (8.4)

- skipped -

 

There seems to definitely be a type of celebrity that people want to date or be in a relationship with and show their parents.

By voter age groups, the top voted female celebrities were as follows:

20s – IU (15.5 percent)

30s – Seolhyun (6.2)

40s – Kim Tae Hee (15.1)

Thank you for the subtitles!

Have a few questions that I hope you guys can answer:

Anyone here knows the song played during the last part of episode 16? The moment where Yeo Jin finds out about the lavender garden that Tae Hyun made for her? 

And why did President Go exactly kill himself? I must've missed something as I only rely on subtitles.

Also, did Kim Tae Hee actually cut her hair short for the latter part of Yong Pal? Or is she just wearing a wig?

Which Actresses Look The Prettiest In Hanbok? [POLL]

BY Adrienne Stanley (kdramastars)

On September 26, the Korean outlet Dispatch published a list of the 10 actresses who are beautiful in hanbok.

In the article, Dispatch compared the hanbok style of popular actresses like Kim Tae Hee, Ha Ji Won, and Park Min Young.

Traditional hanbok is commonly worn by K-Drama and K-pop stars, in their photos and messages that are greetings for the mid-autumn holiday, Chuseok. Women's hanbok traditionally consists of two pieces, a jacket or blouse known as jeogori and a wrap-skirt known as chima.

Women in hanbok are commonly featured in period K-Dramas. However, series centered around traditional families like "Unkind Women," will often feature a matriarch who continues to wear hanbok in modern-day society.

Kim Tae Hee was ethereal as Jang Ok Jung in SBS' "Jang Ok Jung, Living By Love."

Hi @bikes,

Nice seeing you here again.

To your questions,

1.   The song is by K Will, entitled "Coming to Me". Here is the link to popgasa's English translation of the OST, http://popgasa.com/2015/09/17/k-will-coming-to-me-내게-와줘서-yong-pal-ost/

2.   President Go. He was given a note purportedly from his son that asked to save him. It is a guess by many that he did it to save his son. No clear indication as to the reason why the son wanted to be saved. There were many discussions and theories to this as well as doubts as to whether the son was the one who gave the note. Hopefully we get an answer in the last episodes.

3.   KTH's short hair. It looks very real to me for me not to think that it is a wig.

yuuppss... the green house, HYJ is the Best as a president, very Cool.. luubb it.. you know HYJ is crying hardly cuz they are separate now~~ what TH left is Green House for YJ.. YJ took a blame of HDJ Dead.. i think She already knew that someone who died is TH's mom..

 

And super smart too, in defeating the Chairman of DG! She knows a lot of going-ons. Even Chief of Staff Min is surprised by her information. I suspect, if Min is working against her behind her back, she probably knows it but let things run as it is for now so that he gets all the wrong information and act all wrong, LOL! I like all this! 

DJ is dead. It’s what the Chairman of DG wants, but for the defeat in the stock war, I wonder whether he is going to go after YJ/Hanshin Group. I think likely so to fill up the extension of 2 episodes, but keeping my fingers crossed that the OTP getting back together and live happily ever after takiing up most part of it! 

 

Yeaaahh i think so, since Sec Min's face was surprised n a lit scaredy.. dont look down uri hwaejangnim~!! i just want to warn the writer/director to not touch YJ and TH~ LOL

Uri smart n cold hwaejangnim..

 

 

 

In fact, never ever look down on our hwangjaenim! 

She got the smarts, the power and the style to head and be the captain of her Hanshin Group. Look at the stoic and whimpering shareholders. They have to finally acknowledge that she fits the bill to lead the group.

Do you see the difference between YJ and DG's team of stock advisers? YJ's reminds me of the very easy American style whereas DG's are the conservatives. So much energy at YJ's team and it's a delight to watch it, and they win!

I've come to the conclusion why am I dried eyes throughtghout episode 16, is because deep down in my heart, it will be a happy end. So, can't feel any sadness over this temporary hiccup in YongJin's relationship. Bottom line is, too much love between them and my take is that, YJ is trying to protect TH as she may know Min could be trying to harm him. 

Kim Tae Hee slays in her performance as YJ, particularly in episode 16 where she has to do what needs to do as the Chairwoman. It was so solid and powerful! I have to blow my trumpet here that I knew from the time she was offered this role that it fits her and she will give us a DAEBAK performance! Fighting, KTH! 

 

Eonni-yaa.. Annyeoong.. so sad that this week is the last time to see uri hwaejangnim.. *sobbing*

i couldnt agree more eonnie.. kth is nail it well.. perfecto.. i just got goosebump n giving my standing ovation to writer n director.. when i watched with sub.. awesome.. Am just in waaww~ lub Ep 16 eventhough there are no lovey dovey between our OTP in this ep but TH n YJ can't fooled us.. their love is through the roof.. they just hold their desire to hold each other~ #Crying

Annyeong to you too!!!

Thanks for sharing your FB. I see that your avatar is there. You can use it for your profile picture in Soompi. 

I am not missing YP yet because I am consumed from head to toes with curiosity over the ending!!! 

Yeah, can’t stop the emotion when knowing what is said between the couple and to part like that...huhuhu.... I think YJ has to let TH go, one, because TH can't live in her world anymore (and she doesn’t want him feeling unhappy) and another, (just my thinking) that if TH stays on, something bad may happen to him that YJ may not be able to prevent. So maybe to show her enemies that TH is no longer with her and she can do some spring cleaning of Hanshin Group to clean the mess caused by DJ and to sweep out the enemies within the Hanshin Group, before she runs up to meet TH for the "Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Music...” 

I hope to cry then, out of sheer happiness for the reunion and thereafter wedding of YongJin couple!!!   Fingers and everything crossed!!!

I think the picture below is taken at the same time as the one posted above, at Hanshin Hospital as it was commented that she was wearing something pink too.

Thank you for the subtitles!

Have a few questions that I hope you guys can answer:

Anyone here knows the song played during the last part of episode 16? The moment where Yeo Jin finds out about the lavender garden that Tae Hyun made for her? 

And why did President Go exactly kill himself? I must've missed something as I only rely on subtitles.

Also, did Kim Tae Hee actually cut her hair short for the latter part of Yong Pal? Or is she just wearing a wig? 

 

 

Hi @bikes,

Nice seeing you here again.

To your questions,

1.   The song is by K Will, entitled "Coming to Me". Here is the link to popgasa's English translation of the OST, http://popgasa.com/2015/09/17/k-will-coming-to-me-내게-와줘서-yong-pal-ost/

2.   President Go. He was given a note purportedly from his son that asked to save him. It is a guess by many that he did it to save his son. No clear indication as to the reason why the son wanted to be saved. There were many discussions and theories to this as well as doubts as to whether the son was the one who gave the note. Hopefully we get an answer in the last episodes.

3.   KTH's short hair. It looks very real to me for me not to think that it is a wig. 

 

Thanks for the song title nancyzak!  How about the piano instrument song being played when Yeo Jin and Tae Hyun were talking in the garden (where TH expressed his disappointment and asked YJ to leave everything and come with him)? Any chance you know the title? That was so beautiful!

2) Hopefully we do! That was very confusing. I didnt see any reason why President Go should commit suicide. I mean he seems to be smarter than that.

3) So is it safe to say she was wearing a wig for the longer hair she had during the earlier episodes? Or was she so committed to the role that she actually cut her hair for it? Haha Im not from Korea so I have no idea what KTH's current hairstyle is (or before she shooted YP) :))

Hi, just like what Nancyzak believed in, I also don't think KTH is wearing a wig from those last few EPs of the drama. I think she really cut her hair. There are EPs that I feel it’s too long..... But, it’s a great show. I really loved it although I watched it not continuously most of the time because of lack of time.  It's Chuseok time right now in Korea but they still could get to watch the drama via SBS -

Hi @willenette,

Thanks for sharing the TV programme schedule. Are you celebrating Chuseok? If you do, Happy Chuseok to you!

You are right that some parts of the EPs are long and they are the repetitive and extended flashbacks.

A flashback of the operation of YJ explained a bit about CL's background of how he was saved from malpractice suit after his successful ops of YJ, which is the last but crucial to save her life. So does the ones of TH's side about his family background and his mother's death.

On the part of YJ, since she had too many flashback of the car accident, I wondered at one point in time, whether it holds some more clue to some other things. As we are approaching the end of YP, I think that scene only serves one purpose, i.e. just a nightmare to YJ until she discovered the truth about SH's betrayal of her. With many commentators in forums getting excited/worried/having mixed feelings/having the foreboding feeling, etc, and can't stop guessing the unexpected reversal to the story, I again wondered whether this car accident flashback may come back again. Oh no, not again, hahaha....    .....  but if it serves a significance to the ending, I hope it is not too long a flashback. 

On the unexpected reversal to the story, DF puts up this article. I am, without doubt going for No. 1. I will be one of those who plan to hunt down the writer-him if no good ending for YongJin couple!

You are welcome!

1.   The piano piece. It should be the Yongpal instrumental OST and I think it has some tune from the OST song, "Actually I'm" by Jung In. This song is for YJ to show her feelings, which is afraid but has to go on, and when both parted, it was K Will's song in the background, which could for TH and to show his feelings.

2.   Pres Go thought that he is strong because he heads the construction division and have gone through many life's lesson to be where he was. He was under the impression that he has the necessary back up plans and will survive any obstacles including the police's interrogation. He is cunning but I'm not sure if he is smart because it seems so easy for him to give up life at the mere cry for rescue by his son. He did not even verify whether the note is from his son. That is not any reasonable father will do, unless he takes the presence of the lawyer with a note like that as a death warrant served, a certain ritual known to certain circle of men/members that includes him?

3.  KTH has been having long hair for a long time. I suspect she wore hair extension for her character who had been lying in coma for years. Below shows the length of her hair when she turned up at her Allerman fan signing event on 22 August, 2015.

I am also putting my faith in writer-nim. It does not matter if we don't get the wedding of the century for YongJin couple because they may want it cozy and private, but yes, hot honeymoon scene, with the next heir (after his/her father) popping out in...time jump...9 months' time, with TH, the father and the Yongpal, at hand to deliver his son/daughter!

Hi Nancyzak, ye I am - but here in my side where I am right now they don't, so it's not holiday here unlike in Korea, which is celebrated with a three-day national holiday .....I feast myself on mooncakes, though - hahaha. The day after Chuseok, I usually visit the families of my BF in Seoul (not the immediate since they're in US-) but it's been quite a long while since I haven't done this. I usually receive a gift from him a week before Chuseok. Thanks for sharing a bit of what the drama has been & will going to be soon.....I hope also for a happy ending, dear. I hope I would be satisfied with the ending so I could wish there was more! I guess the (2) lead characters deserve the happiness at the end that was long overdue. The romance was not silly. Thanks for sharing the link from dramafever. Surprise ending? I'm curious & excited, huh?
