Fated to love you ~ Episode 15 and 16 Review

I decided to post the review of both the episodes together because it would save me a lot of time. As you have seen the review has been super late, I’ve been really busy with college and on top of that my internet is also being a shit and hence the delay.

So without ado here it is.

We got to see more interaction between our snail couple in both episodes 15 and 16. Episode 15 was lighthearted and funny whereas episode 16 was heavier.

Our OTP is really moving at a snail’s pace. At times I get frustrated, I wish they would just talk out the differences because they clearly are still in love with each other; they both still have feelings for each other. I will give credit to Mi-young though she has been very vocal about her emotions. She was the first to confess her love to Gun and even now she point blank asked Gun multiple times if he still has feelings for her. 

Here she clealy asks him if he's not at all uncomfortable when he see her? 

Gun on the other hand is sometimes hot and sometimes cold, he wants her but at the same time he is afraid of being with her. I am so annoyed by his noble idiocy! God! I wish he would just stop thinking that they are better off separated because they are clearly very miserable, they will only find true happiness if they are together.

I just wanna shake him, slap him multiple times and make him understand that they are fated to be together and Gun have already wasted 3 precious years of their life thinking that she will not be happy with him but it’s about time he realizes that that’s not the case!

Hopefully ending scene of episode 16 will be a breakthrough in that regard. I am not sure if I should feel excited that the whole thing is revealed in that way or I should dread the upcoming episode because that revelation might just cause more misunderstandings. Mi-young clearly looked annoyed upon learning that he’s young –ja.

I was glad for one part that our OTP is actually talking, arguing per se but still something is better than nothing. The scene where they meet at the accident place on dog-poppie’s anniversary, Mi-young asks Gun to not come here anymore out of obligation or whatever I was glad Gun didn’t pretend that that’s why he comes here every year! He told her that dog-poopie Is his baby too and he loves him as much she does.

Mi-young: “ You don’t need to come here again. I will remember Gae Ddong forever so..Lee Gun you can forget it and live comfortably.

Gun: “Hey Miss Kim Mi-young, I can forget it and you can’t? Don’t be absurd. Why would I do that?’

Mi-young: “Its because Gae Ddong is my child.”

Gun: “Gae Ddong is my child too.”

Mi-young: “You had already given up all your rights before the accident. You gave up even your love for Gae Ddong.”

Gun: “Miss Ellie Kim you changed your name because you wanted a fresh start, right? Then it’s ridiculous for you to come here and recall all the traces of your bad memories. If Gae Ddong were here our child would laugh at you hard.”

There was another scene in episode 16 where I was glad that Gun clearly tells Mi-young that he loves omma like a mother and he’s not going to stop seeing her because they didn’t work out.

Mi-young: “I asked you to meet my mother again.”

Gun: “Do I have to do as you say?”

Mi-young: “Your attitude is the problem. You don’t care about other people’s feelings and always do whatever you want. Have you ever tried to do a favor that I asked you?”

Gun: "How can you be so sure? Did you see me not trying?”

Mi-young: “You are telling me that you tried but regardless of me asking sincerely you brought me a anchovy Ssambop as a late night snack.”

Gun: “Excuse me Ellie Kim, I had this anchovy Ssambop for the first time in my life at your mother’s island at yeowol island. I’ve been addicted to this strange food ever since. How am I only one to blame? Why am I the only one to stop eating this food? Your precious mother that you want to protect so badly became my mother too. If you want to steal my mother like this all of a sudden what do you want me to do? What?”

I am glad that Gun is at least being honest with his feelings for Gae Ddong and omma.

I really feel bad for Gun whenever there’s scene of him sitting in his man-cave, talking to dog poppie, I get so so sad. My heart hurts for him so bad. 

The flashback scene where we saw him crying after the loss of dog-poppie was just devastating to watch! Gosh it was as if someone is piercing needles through my heart!

One thing I would like to say that I’ve never seen a show where they have dealt with the miscarriage plot so wonderfully.  Dog-poppie has become a character itself and they way they’ve shown Gun and Mi-young deal with all this is applause worthy.

Both Gun and Mi-young never got an opportunity to grieve for their baby together, right now they should talk with each other really talk. They should deal with the loss of dog-poppie. They should grieve together; they should cry their heart out because only they understand the intensity of their pain. Both Gun and Mi-young have different ways of dealing with this Mi-young through her art and Gun in his man-cave. Its time they deal with this together only then they can find some sort of peace in their life.

I was glad that Mi-young never accepted Daniel’s proposal because if she would have I would have been really disappointed. By rejecting his proposal it seems that she has actually matured, she is not going to do anything out of obligation now. She has learnt to say no and can stand up for herself.

I love secretary tak and yong, they are two of my favorite characters in the show. Secretary tak’s antics are hell lot of funny. His dance, his butt smacking and all his scenes with Gun are my favorite!

I also love how he really cares for Gun and looks out for him. When he sends a video message to Mi-young was one of the sweetest scenes of episode 15.

 Both Tak and Yong are our snail couples biggest cheerleader. They both support them, want them to be together and are doing everything for them to be together. 

I also love Gun’s relationship with yong I am so glad that they are behaving like brothers now. I want to see more scenes of them, more interaction between them.

I also totally support Yong and and Mi-young’s friend’s relationship, glad they are officially a couple now and I also love how Yong actually calls her noona! Aww

SeRa and Daniel I don’t know how I feel about them, No wait I actually like SeRa I feel sorry for her. Daniel on the other hand is just not someone I really care about. I think he’s just wasting his time with Mi-young LOL he doesn’t really stands a chance. I just need him to find his sister as soon as possible so that he has another damsel in distress to save who would actually need and appreciate all his help.

Although I don’t actually hate SeRa but I was seriously annoyed by her in episode 16 where she and Mi-young have lunch together. I thought she would come clean with Mi-young and will tell her that she doesn’t has any relationship with Gun but instead she pretended to behave as such that she and Gun are in a relationship.

Her scene with Daniel had a reverse affect, it was Daniel who annoyed me and I actually loved SeRa there. Daniel questioning her about her relationship with Gun, I was glad she was honest with him at least and I also loved how she admitted that she has done many wrongs to both Mi-young and Gun. I was really annoyed at Daniel for saying that he’s asking all these questions because he proposed to Mi-young. Umm so what? Daniel. You proposed to her but she didn’t accept so she isn’t engaged to you. You have no right to use this excuse and ask questions about Gun and SeRa’s relationship. I was actually not annoyed with him asking SeRa about her relationship with Gun what annoyed me was when he said that he’s asking her because has a right as a person who proposed to Mi-young. Err yeah that doesn’t make sense.

I swear both these brother and sister were just born to create trouble for out OTP. I just hope they will find each other sooner.

I love, love, LOVE the relationship dynamic Gun and Mi-young’s mum have. I love how she treats her like her own son and how he sees her like a mother! Gaaah I just LOVE it okay?

MBC is being very cruel to us though. Giving us 5 episodes of OTP separation and now ending episode 16 on a evil cliffhanger! How I am supposed to survive that ending. Like I said above that I don’t know, should I be happy or sad. On one hand I am glad that Gun has finally revealed that he’s actually Young- Ja on the other hand I really fear the reaction of Mi-young. I really don’t know what to expect to expect will this revelation bring them closer or would create more misunderstanding. I think the initial reaction of Mi-young would be anger, she might feel betrayed but I hope later she’s able to see that Gun’s good intention behind this. 

Mi-young: “You were Young-ja? Lee Gun, why are you doing this to me? Who the hell are you?”

Gun: “Yes, Kim Mi-young. I’m your number one fan, Lee Young-ja.”

One more thing when Gun finally confesses that he was the one who was pretending to be Young-Ja was he actually confessing his love for her? Because Young-Ja is his number fan and she actually admires and loves her very much. In one scene Gun clearly says how much she loves and admires Mi-young 

Gun: “There was a girl I used to know. That girl wore ugly glasses and thought that she was an ugly duckling. But in my eyes, she was so very beautiful. In her heart was the widest sea and the brightest star. She was a beautiful girl who cherished those qualities. Women want to change their outer appearances into something fancier than themselves, but actually… a woman is most lovable and beautiful when she’s a girl full of dreams.”

 I hope Mi-young in her anger doesn't forget all the things he said to he while he was pretending to be Young-Ja

On the other hand Gun when enters the studio he sees Mi-young’s painting of a lollipop man which is clearly Gun obviously. She made this painting while they were separated.

Mi-young gave this heart candy to Gun in episode two and said to her “Those people who desire sweet things are the people who wish to be happy” she wishes him all the happiness. When they were separated for 3 years she drew this painting of him surrounded by those lollipops. This means that she wishes him all the happiness in the world, even after what happened with them her happiness is only with him. 

I hope Gun understands this meaning of her painting and they clear up all the misunderstandings and then also make use of the bed that’s kept in the studio. No just kidding I hope they just talk! Talk out their issues and confess their Love for their each other coz there are only  four episodes left, I want some OTP romance before the ending and some real rice-cakes making scene.

Just something I want to say before I end. Jang NaRa and Jang Hyuk are nailing it as Kim Mi-Young and Lee Gun. The last scene of episode 16 brought tears to my eyes..It was just brilliant.
