[drama 2007] Winter Bird 겨울새

[Guest]

^ Hahaa.. maybe I paid way too much attention on DH. :blush: But he could be just shocked or stunned at YE's sudden reaction, he probably never expected her that way.

It's just too much for him to digest in such a short time... one minute, YE agreed to wait for him until he comes back from China.. in during which, she never hinted about anything .. and the next minute she's marrying someone she hardly knew.

hahahaa....maybe.....you have got a thing for "Wang Mo", don't you ? ....and... erh..... does LBH know about it?

Winter Bird (Ep. 5):

Title: For the Sake of Getting Married

DH = Do-Hyeon (Lee Tae-Gon)

YE = Yeong-Eun (Park Seon-Yeong)

MH = Min-Hee / DH's sister (Lee Da-Jin)

Mrs. Jeong = DH's mom (Yoon Mira)

Mr. Jeong - DH's dad (Jang Yong)

HJ = Hee-jin / YE friend (Jang Shin-Yeong)

JN = Jinah the pediatric doctor (Hwang Jeong-Eum)

KW = Ju Kyeong-Woo the skin doctor (Yoon Sang-Hyeon)

Eun-Sook = DH's aunt (Im Yu-Jin)

HeeJin's mom (Park Jeong-Su)

Mz. Kang = KW's mom (Park Won-Suk)

Mz. Park (the matchmaker) visits Kyeong-Woo (Yoon Sang-Hyeon)'s mother, Mz. Kang (Park Won-Suk), and Mz. Kang complains perhaps Yeong-Eun (Park Seon-Yeong) isn't interested in her son since she decline his invitation to meet when he called her, so Mz. Park goes to see Mrs. Jeong (Yoon Mira) and says if YE isn't interested she'll match KW with some other woman instead, and Mrs. Jeong gets anxious, especially when a package comes for YE from DH (Lee Tae-Gon). DH sends YE a sweater and when he calls YE laughs as she says it's way too big and asks him not to waste his time buying her stuff when he's already working so hard, but DH says it's what makes his business trips fun for him. Just then Mrs. Jeong comes to talk to YE and YE hurries to hang up, then opens the door for her, but Mrs. Jeong sees the sweater and looks unhappy, then tells YE not to trouble DH with these errands.

Jeong: Mz. Park told me the groom-to-be is very happy with you, so if he calls don't refuse him and meet him more.

YE: But I'd like to stop seeing him.

Jeong: That's not how you should be. Mz. Park was there last time and how can you determine anything with just one meeting.

YE: But I have no wish to marry him, so seeing him again would be..

Jeong: Is it because of that promise you made with Do-Hyeon?

YE: No.. not that.

Jeong: Are you going to lie to me now?

YE: (looks down)

Jeong: It's true that you and Do-Hyeon made some promise before he left, right?

YE: yes.. but you needn't worry about it. What you might worry about will not happen.

Jeong: with what? With what would I trust you? I want you to get married before Do-Hyeon comes back.

YE: Ma'am! That..

Jeong: You'll have to do that.

YE: (deep breath) I don't wish to marry yet.

Jeong: You may think that I'm being extreme, but from my stand point this is what I must do.

YE: --

Jeong: I didn't want to tell you this, but they say if Do-Hyeon marries you he'll have a short life.

YE: !

Jeong: If you really want the best for Do-Hyeon, then marry at once. I have nothing else to say.

YE spends the night weeping in her room, and next day she faints while at work, but KW happens to arrive looking for her, and treats her and takes her home. YE thanks him on the way, and KW says he's glad to be present just at the right time, and when they arrive, Mrs. Jeong tells the maid to invite KW in and Mrs. Jeong says she just wanted to thank him, and she believes YE is blessed to meet someone great like him, and how they look great together. Mrs. Jeong then goes on and brags about YE infront of KW, and YE feels sick to her stomach afterwards. KW goes home and tells Mz. Kang that the Jeong's seem to really cherish YE, and Mz. Kang says at least they don't think of YE as a burden or baggage. Next day, it's aunt ES's gallery opening, and Jinah shows up and congratulates YE for her pending marriage with Dr. Ju (KW), and both YE and ES appear shocked. ES says she didn't know things have progressed that far, but Mrs. Jeong cuts it short by saying there's nothing to decide on. Jinah then tells Mrs. Jeong infront of YE that she'll be going to Shanghai soon and will be spending some time with DH there and YE is bothered by the news. JN then asks YE if this means she'll quit about studying abroad since she's getting married, and YE declines to answer. That night YE chats with DH and tells him she's decided to stay put for a while. DH then calls.

DH: what happened?

YE: I just thought it would be lying to the mr. and mrs. otherwise.

DH: I thought we've already made a decision.

DH: did mom say something to you?

YE: no. I just think it's better to wait til you get back and we can be honest with them.

you're busy with work too right now..

DH: what you're saying makes sense, but why am I so mad?

YE: use that energy on work instead.

DH: heh.. fine I got it.

Thus, YE begins to see KW, and KW takes her to his home without telling her first, and YE tries to get out of it, but Mz. Kang comes out and YE has no choice but go in. Mz. Kang is happy by YE's presence and feels YE's hand and says it's cold, and she must bring YE to their home as soon as possible, so she can take better care of YE. Mz. Kang then says she feels like it's fate, and she feels like meeting YE is like finding a long-lost daughter, but Mz. Kang's maids appear unconvinced. At the Jeong's Mrs. Jeong hears news that YE went to the KW's home, and how Mz. Kang is really happy by YE, and wants to meet formally to talk about marriage preparations. Mrs. Jeong tells YE that the other side wants to marry soon, and YE is startled and says she doesn't know KW very much and asks for more time, but Mrs. Jeong says this method is the best for both YE and DH. YE asks if there's another method, but Mrs. Jeong says no, and pleads YE to go through with it. Afterwards, YE goes to her room and tries to call DH in Shanghai, but DH happens to be busy site-seeing with Jinah and does not answer. That night, Jinah confides in DH she didn't really have a work related trip to Shanghai, but she forced her way here just so she can see DH. Jinah wonders if DH has some hidden woman somewhere since he's disinterested in marriage. DH walks JN to the place she's staying and says goodnight, but JN throws herself into his embrace and asks him to allow her to be by his side, and that she won't ask him to come to her, but she wants to go into his heart and she doesn't want him to stop her. JN continues to hug him and DH remains quiet. Meanwhile, YE continues to try to call DH as she drinks alone in her room. At last DH goes home and picks up the phone.

DH: hello? I was about to call you. My battery was out. What's up?

YE: I just wanted to hear your voice.

DH: Did you drink?

YE: Yes.. a little.

DH: Where are you right now?

YE: Home.

DH: What happened?

YE: nothing. I just had one drink.

DH: Really? nothing happened for real, right?

YE: You needn't worry about such thing.

DH: But you seem angry about something.

YE: No.

DH: See. That's your angry voice.

YE: I said not to worry. I dislike myself more that I only make you worry all the time.

DH: (laughs) Fine. Okay.. but call me often to tell me nothing happened, okay?

YE: Okay.. I said I got it..

YE hangs up and says to herself, "Oppa, I feel that I'm a fool.. but I can't resent it.. This is all I can amount to.. so what am I to do..".. Next day, YE goes to the hospital and runs into Jinah who tells YE about her trip to Shanghai and how she spent the whole day with DH. KW arrives and says he's so surprised and delighted that she called. YE says she has something to say...

YE: There's something I didn't tell you, but I think I should tell you first before we have our formal marriage meeting. I once got out of a marriage promise, and it was only 3 months before the wedding too.

KW: --

YE: And meeting you was only a month after the incident.

KW: so?

YE: Is that alright?

KW: I'm sorry. Was that why you asked to meet?

YE: I felt like you should know. I felt like you were deceived, and...

KW: It's alright. I already know. I don't care about what happened to you before you met me.

YE: ---

KW: I should fess up too in that case. I told you that I went on matchdate once before you, right?

YE: ---

KW: Actually, I met her a few times afterwards with intention for marriage, but we broke up due to differences. Is that alright with you? What difference is there between yours and my past? The important thing is that you and I are here like this right now.

YE: --

KW: I want to marry you, and I hope you feel the same.

YE: --

KW: Oh. I wasn't planning on saying it like this.. I'm sorry.

KW and YE then go see a musical, and during the performance KW grabs her hand, and afterwards, he thanks her for showing him a place like this since this is his first time coming. Just then YE sees her ex-fiance Ji-Hong with a new woman and YE tries to walk away, but JH runs up and says hi to her, and says YE moves faster then he thought. KW asks JH who he is, but JH says to ask YE about him, and JH then says now he understands YE was two-timing and dumped him to be with KW. YE is startled by it and JH leaves saying he's scared of getting beat up by YE's family, but YE is left shaken. KW escorts her to this car and asks her to get in, but YE apologizes and KW asks if he was that guy, and YE nods.

KW: I can tell what kind of a guy he is already. (puts hands on her shoulder) Look at me. You don't need to apologize again. Let's just think about us. Can you promise me that?

YE: (nods)

KW: (hugs her)

YE: thank you.

KW: and you don't need to say thank you. Just be by my side like this..

Next, KW and Mz. Kang meets with Mrs. Jeong and YE, and Mz. Kang goes on about how pleased they are with YE, and when YE doesn't say much, Mrs. Jeong speaks for her, and says YE doesn't talk much, but she is most kind-hearted. Mz.Kang then asks if they could have the wedding before the year end, and Mrs. Jeong says that's a great idea and that they can arrange all the preparations in time. Afterwards, Mz. Kang complains to KW about Mr. Jeong not being there and she wonders if there's a story behind it. KW says he went abroad, but Mz. Kang says if they really think of YE as a daughter that wouldn't happen, but KW continues to say it's because they didn't have much time. Mrs. Jeong tells YE she is blessed to meet such a nice guy and mother-in-law, and Mrs. Jeong reminds YE all she needs to do is to keep her mouth shut, and YE says she understands. YE continues to work at her job, and finds herself aching in her heart, and YE says to herself, "I wish for my heart to harden.. so one day I will no longer feel my heart ache"... Just then DH calls and YE gathers herself and answers the phone, and tells DH everything's fine. DH asks if the ring he gave her is too big for her since he had a dream about her and it was so clear that it didn't feel like a dream, and the dream had her and another man sitting in a 70s looking cafe, and there were others around them too, and DH was there but YE threw her ring at him and says it was too big. YE cries silently as she listens but tells DH that's just a silly dream, and DH is comforted, and tells YE he loves her. YE feels herself gasping, and DH asks her to say 'I love you' too, but YE says there are ppl around her and DH hangs up after telling her to eat well and sleep well. YE hangs up as well and falls to her knees as she trumbles and shakes.... Later, YE brings Mr. Jeong some tea, and Mr. Jeong asks YE if she needs anything else, but YE says she's thankful and she doesn't need anything and Mr. Jeong says she needn't be thankful..

Mr. Jeong: Does DH call you?

YE: sometimes.

Jeong: he's been very busy he won't be able to come back for your wedding I'm told.

YE: yes.

Jeong: Yeong-Eun.. I think if you don't want this marriage then you don't need to go through with it.

YE: --

Jeong: You can go and study in Milan like you wanted. I'll send you.

YE: No it's okay.

Jeong: Are you sure?

YE: Yes. You don't need to worry about me.

YE then meets with HJ (heejin) and HJ is shocked at how fast things are progressed, and YE says this is how things work in promiment familes. HJ asks when DH is coming back, and YE says in a couple of months he'll be back, and she needs to marry before that. HJ is speechless, but YE continues to put on her smiley face and tells HJ she's not pretending to be a fool, rather she is really a food, and she's envious of smart ppl who say what they want, but she's not like that, and the world isn't all full of smart ppl only. HJ asks her if she'll be alright, and YE says she will be, since her heart is hardening and soon when it becomes a rock she'll really feel nothing. At this HJ says nothing and next day she tags along when YE and KW get their wedding photos taken at the studio. HJ goes to her mom's eatery and tells her mom and brother YE will marry soon. HJ's mom asks HJ if YE is getting back together with her ex, but HJ keeps on drinking and says YE has gone nuts. HJ then says it's a different guy, and this time it's a doctor. HJ says YE is paying back the debt she feels she owes to the Jeong's by getting married.

Next, Mz. Kang takes YE to the jewelry store to buy a new necklace and Mz. Kang gets out a ring from her mother-in-law and gives it to YE. The two go and have some tea together, and Mz. Kang tests YE by asking if YE wants to live with her too or if she wants to move out with KW, and when YE says she wants to move into the family Mz. Kang appears overwhelmed and grabs YE's hands and thanks YE for treating her so nicely...

========================

im wondering the same thing..why didnt YE use that chance..i feel very sorry for YEbut in a way im confused by her actions..i understand she's scared..nor does DH really know what's upbut i feel as if its frustrating to see her like that..MRs jeong pisses me off bad.the new in law is even worse.she's like a worse version of mrs jeong.uugghhhh..btw.. DH doesnt look to sad far away...he seems to think though things are hard on YE and that she'll hafta waitbut he seems like he is enjoying himself a little too much...i was wondering the same thing.. YE is trapped inside this nutshell.. her house a place of refuge and a place of warmth.. where people care for your wellbeing..a place to go home to when ur troubled.. it sure has a different connotation for her.. to be at home means to be locked up, to be smothered, to be neglected and to scared of what you have to in the future.. always being forced.. the wisest choice would be for her to move out..how is it ungrateful?many people move out when the grow up and all..have their owns jobs and whatnot..im sure accdg to korean customs not as much? (not sure there)but i feel in terms of being grateful.. its wrongly placed.the stuff is there but the feelings were never..she was always detached...why the heck is being unattached so impt? just becuase of DH? i mean really now..they are surely have skeletons in the closet..i dont what but they do..come to think of it.. maybe its the same for me.. lols.. ^^hehhe where QSS has some lighter parts this one is just heavy stuff all the way.. i hope its not just a teaser! booo...i hope DH will wake up and realize the severeness of the situation with his family and such..but basing on DH being in China while YE in korea having to deal with it all..eventhough he already said he wont leave her and that she would have to endure..he looks like he's not as troubled..he even looks like he's enjoying the doctor's visit..

my feel is that YE is a living zombie.. since her parents died and she moved to the Jeong's as orphan.. she's been given food and shelter and education, but she was not groomed to go after what she wants, unlike Min-Hee the daughter, and even Do-Hyeon wasn't really allowed to chase after his career dreams, but was forced to study business at his parents isntruction, so then Yeong-Eun, the only she wanted in life is perhaps the chance to love DH, but she knows that that's 'wrong' and she is paying for the 'crime' of it by having to marry someone, and she accepts and now she is just returning to her life as a zombie who doesn't feel.. but soon.. i hope to see her forced to confront her life, the ppl in her life, and the path that is her future, if not for her happiness, at least for her survival so she doesn't gasp for air anymore.

^ Thanks dramaok for Ep. 5 synopsis & description! Mwah!

hahahaa....maybe.....you have got a thing for "Wang Mo", don't you ? ....and... erh..... does LBH know about it?

LOL... how come we're getting out of the Winter Bird mode? Must be the migraine of trying to figure out the real feelings of YE for DH.

Yup.. definitely a "thing" for this Mr. Lee (TG) and obviously... for the Mr. Lee (BH).

[rubie]

Winter Bird (Ep. 5):Title: For the Sake of Getting Married

Jeong: Mz. Park told me the groom-to-be is very happy with you, so if he calls don't refuse him and meet him more.

YE: But I'd like to stop seeing him.

Jeong: That's not how you should be. Mz. Park was there last time and how can you determine anything with just one meeting.

YE: But I have no wish to marry him, so seeing him again would be..

Jeong: Is it because of that promise you made with Do-Hyeon?

YE: No.. not that.

Jeong: Are you going to lie to me now?

YE: (looks down)

Jeong: It's true that you and Do-Hyeon made some promise before he left, right?

YE: yes.. but you needn't worry about it. What you might worry about will not happen.

Jeong: with what? With what would I trust you? I want you to get married before Do-Hyeon comes back.

YE: Ma'am! That..

Jeong: You'll have to do that.

YE: (deep breath) I don't wish to marry yet.

Jeong: You may think that I'm being extreme, but from my stand point this is what I must do.

YE: --

Jeong: I didn't want to tell you this, but they say if Do-Hyeon marries you he'll have a short life.

YE: !

Jeong: If you really want the best for Do-Hyeon, then marry at once. I have nothing else to say.

That is a really cruel thing to say from anyone.. and coming from DH's own mother who's supposed to be her own mother, too.. that really, really hurts. No wonder YE gets really stressed and depressed by the blatant words. There's nothing short of an ambush by Mrs. Jeong. She can be seemingly sweet & pretentious one minute and dangerously poisonous the next moment. :tongue2:

YE is TRAPPED and suffocated .. she is continuosly emotionally abused by Mrs. Jeong who doesn't feel an inch of love for the girl, just get her out of DH's life.. no matter what. YE is so pressed to marry KW when she really doesn't want to.. not for DH or others, she doesn't really want to but no one cares for her.This is so depressing. Simply depressing.

Often times we feel like shaking YE to stand up for herself and she did actually.. but nothing is going her way. The mental & emotional rope tied by the Jeongs is just too tight.

Thanks dramaok for the detailed dialogues.. such an eye-opener! Mz. Kang! Although she's been saying all the nice things about YE... I just feel otherwise from watching the episodes last 2 nights. Seems what she's saying (appearance-wise) doesn't quite feel like what she's actually saying.

ps: btw.. who's the one with the split personality (?).. is it KW or his mom.. or both?

[Guest dramaok]

i don't think i can stand watching the next couple of episodes. i just need YE to get a divorce already.

i may just fastforward all of it... until Lee Tae-Gon is back in her life. (btw LTG is so much younger than i thought. is he really 77 born? he looks like he's in his mid 30s)

Question now.. can she really get a divorce so soon? Have a feeling that there'll be a lot of 'going back & forth' between her and KW & his mom!

From their profile, LTG is younger than PSY but surprisingly or not.. he looks so much older than her (yup.. definitely looking like 30+).. especially in this series. He wasn't this mature-looking in Dear Heaven or maybe my eyes were "confused".

[Guest babymarzy07]

my feel is that YE is a living zombie.. since her parents died and she moved to the Jeong's as orphan.. she's been given food and shelter and education, but she was not groomed to go after what she wants, unlike Min-Hee the daughter, and even Do-Hyeon wasn't really allowed to chase after his career dreams, but was forced to study business at his parents isntruction, so then Yeong-Eun, the only she wanted in life is perhaps the chance to love DH, but she knows that that's 'wrong' and she is paying for the 'crime' of it by having to marry someone, and she accepts and now she is just returning to her life as a zombie who doesn't feel.. but soon.. i hope to see her forced to confront her life, the ppl in her life, and the path that is her future, if not for her happiness, at least for her survival so she doesn't gasp for air anymore.

hmmm.. well i think this analogy of YE will tie me down for a while.. its just that i cant really understand her.. the whole gratitude to the Jeong's plus the pushing away of DH... doesn't she realize how much crap mz. jeong and MH put her through?plus i feel mr. jeong cant do much... just to pacify the other..that dialogue with mz. jeong OMG i wanted to punch her..how can someone treat a semi daughter like that..why accept her into the family..omg.. i hate her..she cant even treat DH with respect and decency..plus mz. kang will drive me nuts..for a lack of a better word she feels "plastic"

i don't think i can stand watching the next couple of episodes. i just need YE to get a divorce already. :huh:i may just fastforward all of it... until Lee Tae-Gon is back in her life. (btw LTG is so much younger than i thought. is he really 77 born? he looks like he's in his mid 30s)

me too... i can only hope the same.. argghhh.. but i dont know how soon it will happen.. arghhh.. i can only hope..i heard they have a 5 yr gap... ^^LTG is younger by 5 years i think..but to me PSY is younger..

Just like i mentioned in my earlier post i hope they won't be too draggy on YE's marriage part because i want to see more interaction between DH and her Else i might be end up like you fast-forwarding throughtout the show which i don't wish to cause this is a great show with great casting and i don't wish to miss any of their acting.

This is the first time i am watching LTG's and i am also surprised to know that he's a year younger that PSY He definitely looks much matured than his age

[Guest apple red]

Is there any summaries for eps 6 pls ?

[koalabear]

babymarzy07, in the car in the rain YE said something like there is no way that DH can give up everything, his family etc, for her, so the best she can do is what she is doing now and asked DH to let her go. Later (not in the rain) DH said that he can give up everything, but YE would not hear about it?

the aunt is on DH and YE side, but can't do much, since she is only an autie, I guess. The mum has more "rights".

how will DH deal with it, after the marriage??!!

hahahaa.....we can kiss that "jogging kiss scene" goodbye...

thanks for the explanation Knuts...I was also thinking what YE said to DH in the last episode...I thought that she and DH can't be together...at least I was partially right...I would really want DH to kiss YE in the rain but it didn't happen *sigh* I mean all of those kisses were just tempting us...but I still feel sad for YE after she was confronted by Mr and Mrs. Jeong together with DH...Mr. Jeong wanted YE to cancel the marriage if she is not yet ready but Mrs. Jeong was pushing YE to the limit since she is insisting that YE should go on with the wedding or she has a reason for not getting married but YE said that she will still push through with the marriage...I love Mr. Jeong's concern for YE but Mrs. Jeong is too much...

as for DH reaction when Jina met him...I really dunno...maybe he wants to move on as well but he is not sure if he will still pursue YE or divert his attention to someone else...well at this scene he wanted to meet Kyung-woo but instead Jina caught his attention...

and Kyung-woo is a mama's boy per se...I can't believe it, I wonder if how he will protect YE form his mom when they get married on the next episode since from what I saw in the preview...

KW's mom searched in YE's stuffand finds something that upset her???

[Guest dramaok]

Winter Bird (Ep. 6):

Title: A Tree That's Shaking

Expensive jewelry is sent to the Jeong's for YE, from KW's mother, Mz. Kang, and the Jeong's are impressed while YE sighs quietly. After thinking back and forth, Hee-Jin calls DH and tells him she's calling because she fears he doesn't know about YE getting married and she can't answer any questions nor does she want DH to tell YE it was she who called, but she feels uneasy letting YE marry without DH finding out first thus she's decided to call. HJ hangs up and DH tries to call but she doesn't answer. DH is left puzzled and upset, and calls aunt ES and asks whether it is true that YE is getting married, and ES says she has nothing to say and asks DH to call his mom instead. Meanwhile, YE gets a facial and turns on the phone and hears DH's message asking her to call him immediately and to explain about her getting married. YE hears it and gasps but does nothing except to turn off her phone because she does not know how to lie to him anymore, while DH rushes back to Korea and shows up at the gallery as soon as he arrives. YE isn't there today, and the aunt tells DH it is true that YE is getting married, and DH insists on finding out where YE is. Aunt ES says she doesn't know exactly where but she could be at the massage studio. As DH leaves, the aunt says YE had no choice, and DH asks her to keep his presence in Korea a secret and ES agrees. DH finds YE as she leaves and he grabs her and takes her to the riverside.

YE: because I thought this was for the best.

DH: best of what?

YE: I can't hurt others just to please myself.

DH: say it so I can understand.

YE: I said to you last time too, we cannot be together.

DH: I don't need anything else. Just our promise.

YE: You have too much to lose.

DH: did I tell you to worry about that? why are you so full of fears? Why won't you have any confidence?

YE: I fear someone dying more than anything else. Even my parents I believe it was my fault.

DH: Why are you making nonsense? Did someone say I was going to die?

YE: !

DH: did Mom say that?

YE: I don't want others to be in pain because of me.

DH: but it's okay if I am? and you're alright even so?

YE: I'm fine, oppa. I'm alright.. almost.. so now all there's to do is for you to endure it. no, I wish you'd understand me.

DH: how?

YE: it's already an impossibility.

DH: you.. are a scary person.

YE: I might be.... Won't you go home?

DH: No. no one knows I'm back, except aunt.

YE: I'm sorry.

DH: tomorrow come to me. it's alright even if you don't have a visa. We're gonna get on a plane no matter what it's headed. come to me at the hotel tomorrow.

YE: that's nonsense.

DH: you're the one who started to talk nonsense first.

YE: oppa!

DH: I'll call you with my hotel info.

YE: it won't happen.

DH: tomorrow at 11'o clock.

DH checks himself in a hotel and calls YE with his hotel info. YE answers and DH tells her he's in room 503, and tomorrow at 11 he will be waiting and she should only pack lightly so no one catches on. YE says there's no need but DH hangs up. YE then goes and drinks tea alone to think through, and that night YE packs a suitcase and looks at her passport, when the aunt comes and asks YE if anything happened. YE says the aunt needn't worry, and DH will be leaving tomorrow. ES asks if that's it, and YE says yes, and ES says she won't ask anymore, but tells YE to keep it a secret that DH was back. Next day around 10am, YE head out and Mrs. Jeong tells YE to stop by the company on her way to massage, since Mr. Jeong asked to see YE. YE goes to Mr. Jeong, who hands her an account book worth about 400k usd (4 eok won) which came from investment of original money from YE's dad's assets that were left at his death. Mr. Jeong asks YE if she agrees to let him continue to manage her funds, and YE agrees. Mr. Jeong then gives her an envelope of money for her to use for her wedding, saying they will decline gift money at the wedding. YE says no one will give her money at the wedding anyway and tries to refuse the money from Mr. Jeong but he insists and YE accepts. Mr. Jeong then says with her wedding tomorrow, she will be leaving his home, but she is to promise her that if something difficult ever happens to her she must come tell him. YE nods and heads up and sends the driver away, saying she will go and meet with a friend. DH waits at his hotel, and it's past 11:30 already and he's getting worried, but YE calls and says she's waiting at the coffee shop downstairs and asks him to come down, but DH orders her to come to his room instead.

DH: I thought you wouldn't come. Here, sit down...

YE: (sits)

DH: It's been hard for you. Would you like some water? Wait a bit..

YE: (tense)

DH: here.. drink. (smiles) why? you're not drinking.

YE: (drinks)

DH: ah. would you like to eat something?

YE: no it's okay.

DH: I haven't ate either. we should eat something before we go.

YE: oppa..

DH: Oh we should check for seats first. or we could go to the airport and do it.

YE: oppa. I'm not going.

DH: --

YE: (returns the ring) I'll live well this time. Oppa, you should put an end to it too and forget it.

DH: no! I can't do that.

YE: Don't be like that.

DH: we have to go together.

YE: I can't. Do you really want me? Do you really want to be with me forever?

DH: Are you joking right now? Why do you.. hurt me so much?

YE: Do you hurt as much as I do? Have you thought of what you will lose because of me? If you must leave with me I can go, since I have nothing to lose, but can you lose your parents and the company?

DH: What are you talking about?

YE: Can you throw everything you have? If so then I can go. At once.

DH: You can think so extreme if you choose.

YE: This is what must become of us. This is the best I can do.

DH: What do you think you know?

YE: Think about it clearly. It's the reality that both you and I already know.

With these firm words, YE leaves DH, and after a moment DH goes after her, storming frantically down the stairs to catch up to her, then grabbing her hand and pulling her into his car. YE asks where he's taking her, and DH replies home, and YE pleads not to.

DH: If I must I can give up everything. I can start over with bare hands if it's with you. Is that enough?

YE: tomorrow is the wedding.

DH: I will try to persuade mom and dad first. If I can't then I'll give up everything.

YE: but what am I.. I'm blocking your future. No I might cause you misfortuned.

DH: What are you saying really?

YE: if that happens then not only you but all those around you will be misfortuned. I can't follow you to make you so.

DH: Are you really a moron a fool?

YE: I wish I were a moron a fool who can't think. I thought and thought til my head's about to explode. but it just can't be.

DH: Don't make it complicated. Just think of me. of us!

YE: I can't. So don't torment me anymore and just send me off.. for me.. (weeping). Tomorrow I must marry (nods). I must.. I have to. I must.

DH: (grabs her) Why are you like this? Look at me.

YE: Send me off peacefully. I.. am in hell..

DH: Yeong-Eun!

YE: just send me away..

Thus YE gets out of the car and walks in the pouring rain almost into the passing car, but DH stops her and calls her, but YE asks him to let her go and walks away, leaving DH standing still in the rain. YE shows up HJ's soaking wet and HJ makes her tea and gets her a change of clothes and asks about what happened but YE says she doesn't want to say anything today only she nods when HJ asks if it has to do with DH. HJ then confesses she's the one who called DH and YE though surprised says she understands. Meanwhile, furnitures for the newlyweds are delivered to KW's, and Mz. Kang carefully examines each item and calls around town to find out the price of each item just to calculate how much the Jeong's spent. DH shows up at the Jeong company and finds out Mrs. Jeong is in Jeju island for golf but will return the same night in order to make to YE's wedding tomorrow and DH then goes to the hospital and passes by the office that KW works from. Jinah passes by and wonders how DH is there and goes out for a drink with him later but DH remains solemn heavy in thought. Jinah lets Min-Hee know about DH being in Korea and MH then tells Mrs. Jeong who becomes frantic and anxious especially since DH isn't home. Next morning, DH shows up at the Jeong residence early and asks to speak to Mr. Jeong, but Mrs. Jeong says to have breakfast first and DH sits down with everyone and eats one or two bites and goes to Mr. Jeong's study and waits. Mr. Jeong comes in and DH says YE's marriage is not right. Mrs. Jeong rushes in and is frantic, and when DH reveals he and YE already promised each other for marriage Mr. Jeong calls YE in and asks her if she feels the same, and YE says no, and Mr. Jeong asks YE if she loves DH.

thanks dramaok!!

YE: because I thought this was for the best.

DH: best of what?

YE: I can't hurt others just to please myself.

DH: say it so I can understand.

YE: I said to you last time too, we cannot be together.

DH: I don't need anything else. Just our promise.

YE: You have too much to lose.

DH: did I tell you to worry about that? why are you so full of fears? Why won't you have any confidence?

YE: I fear someone dying more than anything else. Even my parents I believe it was my fault.

DH: Why are you making nonsense? Did someone say I was going to die?

YE: !

DH: did Mom say that?

YE: I don't want others to be in pain because of me.

DH: but it's okay if I am? and you're alright even so?

sigh... such a sad convo.. its true why why YE do think of others pain but not DH's feelings.. not even yours..

what have they done that is so great?

why must u live in such misery?

even DH realizes how much confidence she lacks..

she has so many fears...

i feel bad for YE..

but i cant really get her fears..

being outcasted again?

being not treated well?

i dont get it..

she lost her family and is in another one..

but she isnt truly home..

DH: Are you joking right now? Why do you.. hurt me so much?

YE: Do you hurt as much as I do? Have you thought of what you will lose because of me? If you must leave with me I can go, since I have nothing to lose, but can you lose your parents and the company?

DH: What are you talking about?

YE: Can you throw everything you have? If so then I can go. At once.

DH: You can think so extreme if you choose.

YE: This is what must become of us. This is the best I can do.

DH: What do you think you know?

YE: Think about it clearly. It's the reality that both you and I already know.

eventhough it comes of that YE is being matyr here...

i dont YE realizes that DH wasnt really happy..

he needed her love and promise to be together..

i cant say he didnt try too..

sacrificing what little they both have?

i think it might just be reputation here..

reality is true... but of course if u really wanted to u could help it..

YE: Send me off peacefully. I.. am in hell..

DH: Yeong-Eun!

YE: just send me away..

if YE realizes she is in hell.. why doesnt she want to escape from it?

is this her way of escaping that family?

honestly, i dont get mz. jeong why must she do that..

why the marrying off like someone mad...

will that solve ur problems? i dont it..

it seemed so condecending too the way she said it..

aishhh..

i cant believe she can keep on denying him...

^ Thanks dramaok for Ep. 5 synopsis & description! Mwah!

LOL... how come we're getting out of the Winter Bird mode? Must be the migraine of trying to figure out the real feelings of YE for DH.

Yup.. definitely a "thing" for this Mr. Lee (TG) and obviously... for the Mr. Lee (BH).

hehehhee....sorry for going off topic..

hmmm.. well i think this analogy of YE will tie me down for a while.. its just that i cant really understand her.. the whole gratitude to the Jeong's plus the pushing away of DH... doesn't she realize how much crap mz. jeong and MH put her through?plus i feel mr. jeong cant do much... just to pacify the other..that dialogue with mz. jeong OMG i wanted to punch her..how can someone treat a semi daughter like that..why accept her into the family..omg.. i hate her..she cant even treat DH with respect and decency..plus mz. kang will drive me nuts..for a lack of a better word she feels "plastic"me too... i can only hope the same.. argghhh.. but i dont know how soon it will happen.. arghhh.. i can only hope..i heard they have a 5 yr gap... ^^LTG is younger by 5 years i think..but to me PSY is younger..

...the actress feels plastic to me. I bet she had one or more jobs done.

From their profile, LTG is younger than PSY but surprisingly or not.. he looks so much older than her (yup.. definitely looking like 30+).. especially in this series. He wasn't this mature-looking in Dear Heaven or maybe my eyes were "confused".

From the drama setting, both LTG and YSH are 32 yrs old and PSY is 27 yrs old in "Winter Bird".

I agree that LTG looks more mature than his actual age, maybe in mid-30.

I remembered we asked PSY about who she likes to work with in the future.

She said she likes to work with "handsome brothers. The younger, the better..."

(In private, PSY has a sense of humor.) ^^

haha...so I'm not surprised to see she works with LTG and YSH in "Winter Bird" this time...

Hope to see firework between them in this drama!

yeah....why is YE going through with the wedding, if she thinks that it is hell???!!!

somehow, I can understand YE a little why she is doing something she does not really want. Unless she would migrate to a country where nobody knows her, then she could do whatever she wants, but in Korea where many social rules apply ......

Or unless she was old, bold and independant/rich enough not to care..., but still.... it would not be nice to live as an outcast. Did she not say it is her way to pay back the Jeongs for taking care of her?

probably the mum thinks that YE is ok with the marriage, since she did object strongly.

and the mum must be thinking: what to complain about? The husband is a doc.

Suppose if I were in her shoes, would I ask the guy to give up his family, business, etc? I doubt it.

But then, what would it make it possible and ok for YE and DH to be together????

ps: hang on.....the dad gave her a chance

I guess, it IS upto YE

it is probably just that she does not have the strength and confidence to resist the mum as of now

Thanks dramaok for episode 6 synopsis and knuts for links of episodes 5 & 6.. LQ!

But.. the wedding is already going to take place "tomorrow"!.. the very next day! What if DH didn't secretly return home like he did? They were actually going to hold the wedding without him present. Never mind that he's not going to be the groom... but isn't he family as well. Can't he be informed at all? Or maybe he knew about it from Mr. Jeong but didn't think that YE would actually follow what his mom said?

I think DH really wanted to and he would do anything to be with YE but it won't work if YE doesn't feel the same.. she holds the key to everything. It's lose-lose situation for her. Go with DH, leave the family with guilt... marry KW, hurt DH and live in pain.

[rubie]

Reading the synopsis again.. now.. I just feel bad for DH. He's already made up his mind to marry YE, at least call off the impending marriage to KW. It's true that the parents also control DH's life as well, being the firstborn but.. nothing is going his way either... YE doesn't have the courage nor confident to say what's really in her heart anymore. Mrs. Jeong's adamant control over her have taken everything from YE.

Although I wanted her to say 'yes' about DH.. but if they did go away, together.. all her life she'd probably be living in guilt (succesfully installed by Mrs. Jeong) and make DH's life miserable as well. And.. obviously, going into KW's household wouldn't be the ultimate happiness she hoped for, even YE herself is not sure at all.. I think it's the life she had to go through to finally shook some sense into her being and dignity as a person and woman.

Mz. Kang.. despite all the things she said to YE and Mrs. Jeong prior to the wedding, nothing seems sincere. Don't they see that?

The new links for the synopsis and episode 5 - 6 dl have been updated at page 1 (post #2). Thanks for sharing!

[Guest dramaok]

ya YE's mother-in-law is scary. she's more scary then mrs. jeong. in the preview,

Mz. Kang was upset that YE didn't come with a 'hahm'.. a chest containing jewelry and expensive gifts to the inlaw's family..

she was also couting the wedding money and getting mad that there wasn't a whole lot.

and did you see how upset she got when KW showed some care for YE, by asking Mz. Kang if it's okay that YE doesnt' wear hanbok for long since it's not comfortable? Mz. Kang uses her fake polite words and says of course she doesn't have to wear it long. but later goes to her room and throws a fit.

she's scary!!!!!!!!!!!

too bad YE and DH didn't do anything at the hotel. I was secretly hopeing they'd have a passinate scene before she marries.

[koalabear]

^ thanks for clarifying all things up Dramaok! so that's what Mrs. Kang was upset about in next episodes preview yeah she's really THAT scary! things are getting a little bit dim for YE...I feel bad that she always blame herself for all the things that are happening right now...just what can she do to be happy...it's really up to her but she is still suppressing her feelings for DH which is quite understandable bcoz of Mrs. Jeong, but I'm confident that Mr. Jeong is on YE's side..the drama gets more exciting every week, and my heart breaks for YE and DH every week as well...
