Heart to Heart - Episode 3

Heart to Heart

Episode 3

As this episode starts we see what is perhaps Hong Do’s most inner dream. Of course we see it as a sense of parody given the fact that her and Doo Soo are wearing traditional clothing and representing the first night of a newly married couple in the Joseon Era (hope I don’t mess up the eras).  In here Doo Soo tells her that he likes her read cheeks and they spend their first night together while someone seems to be peeping from outside.

Back to present time, Hong Do is begging Yi Seok to “fix” her. She takes off her helmet and he realizes that her problem is serious and complicated.

…And just the moment you think, oh he is having a change of heart the jerk in him comes out not disappointing or betraying his character. He tells her no (of course) and calls the police regarding his empty office. It seems the only two detectives available are Doo Soo and his partner Detective Yang. As they go in Doo Soo notices Hong Do but he doesn’t seem surprise to see her there. He does ask if she got her phone back. Just like me Yi Seok can’t believe that there is such coincidence in life. He tells Hong Do to leave because he won’t treat her and the detectives to change because he doesn’t want to deal with them anymore. None of this happens and the investigation starts. He said that the most valuable thing in his office were 70 gold hearts. Why and why did he have gold hearts there? Come on! That just shouts to be stolen!

One moment Yi Seok is shouting at Hong Do to get lost and the very next second he is asking for help. AGH! Michin nom!!

He succeeds in hiking a ride to his car. He just keeps blabbering and teasing her and she just looks nervous as hell. I wouldn’t be surprised if they crashed in that scooter of hers because of him.

They barely survive the ride and he asks her why does she want to get treated since she’s been “living just fine inside her helmet”. She reveals that she wants to greet people normally and well… date.  He, oh so almighty, agrees to help her.

Oh, ok there he goes. He wants to charge her $350.00 an hour per consultation. She just gets back on, on her scooter and insults him big time before leaving.

Yi Seok wants to start anew with his practice and takes the offer of his mentor Dr. Uhm Gi Choon, who at first I believed to be his publisher but it turns out she, is not. He takes her offer for a small office. Once more he starts having a fit when he is near an old person.  

Yi Seok lies in a sofa on his mentor office passing thru the symptoms of his fit. He tells her that it happened before and that he thinks Hong Do is all the medicine he needs to treat these fits. What a romantic thing to say in the most unromantic way possible, especially coming from him. Also, I feel as if is a bit of a stretch for him to think that. I mean, isn’t he curious why? Why doesn’t he have these when she is around? There must be a logical explanation. We also learn that his mom has a bipolar disorder. Maybe that’s why he became a psychiatrist.

Grandpa Go is prejudiced about the old people even when he is quite old himself and doesn’t want ‘Grandma’ Hong Do for typing his memoirs. In the end, she gets the job. Although he is giving her a few tests, and she is of course, nailing all of them. Could you imagine? What if Grandpa Go ends up falling in love with Hong Do?!

Yi Seok is ready to fix his new office and calls Doo Soo to get Hong Do’s phone number. Doo Soo won’t give it so Yi Seok sends him his new address and impose on him to give it to Hong Do.

Hong Do is leaving more food at Doo Soo’s place. While she writes a note, Do Soo arrives. He quietly goes to her and startles her. He blocks her way don’t letting her escape. He asks to talk to her and leads her to his car. He puts his hand on her arm gently to prevent her from escaping.

His car is very poorly parked by the way. She is sitting in the driver’s seat with the window down, while he is talking from outside. He starts talking and tanking her for everything that she prepares for him. He tells her that she is a solace to him and that he wants to help too. She is enthralled and slowly reaches for his hand and touches one of his fingers. It sounds kind of creepy but it wasn’t. I bet she was just wondering how it felt like when before realizing it she was touching him. As soon as she noticed what she was doing she escaped the car and made a run for it.

While he just had this heart-warming scene we go to the extremely cold-hearted self centred Yi Seok who just went to look for his ex. He tells her that they have not broken up; that they are in the process of breaking up, she mustn’t be confused about these. Of course, who would get confused with that?!

Jang Doo Soo sends Hong Do the address that Yi Seok had sent him. It turns out Doo Soo and Hong Do’s place can be seen from each other just across a small river. Doo Soo really is the sweetest.

Since all the characters are bound to get mixed up in one moment or the other So Ro is now making an official complaint against Jang Doo Soo. The reason? She probably thinks he is to blame for her not getting her part in the filming. But why the complaints to the good looking cop and not the other one who actually went in first? Well, he did take her clothing or towel or whatever that was.  He calls So Ro too find out what is all about but she practically hangs up on him without explanation other than “Do it by the law!”. And while he is baffled about this, the naked running lady appears once again and our two detectives are once more on the run.

Hong Do and Yi Seok are now seriously discussing how he thinks she is responsible for all his problems in another this-doesn’t-make-any-sense moment. Now he is basically telling her that she MUST be in the office while he sees his patients. Why? I mean, just why? She isn’t responsible for anything in his life, apart from saving him from suicide! And what about the patients’ confidentiality? Agh!!!! But since this is a drama and the show must go on it seems she is gonna go with it, trying to get her own consultation in exchange.

Still he expects to just give her a discount but she says to call it even. Doing each other a favour. At that time Yi Seok is called to attend the naked lady as a psychiatrist at the police station. As he believes he can’t see his patient without Hong Do, he agrees to the deal with her. In the police station he tries to talk to the patient but is being extremely aggressive and well… a jerk. Hong Do tries to calm her down giving the naked lady a sweet that Doo Soo had previously given her but instead Yi Seok eats it. The naked lady shows response to the smell of candy and Hong Do is forced to give her the remaining one. The patient is diagnosed as just needing insulin and is dispatched but there is something else going on there… Sweet Doo Soo tries talking to Hong Do and asks her in she needs him to take her home but Yi Seok interrupts saying that they have plans as employer and employee and drags her out then pushing her to the ground and practically insulting her once more.

The next day Yi Seok actually starts helping Hong Do and prohibits her of using anything that may hide her face, including her helmet. Is his new hobby to take out her helmet by force.

Go Se Ro goes to the police department to finally face the detective who ruined her moment to shine. Detective Yang is, of course, half in love by now but her reason is so absurd that Doo Soo can’t keep a straight face. Se Ro asks for full compensation on everything that she spent that day and a sincere apology but given the fact that she is a rich kid, the cost of everything is probably the annual salary of Doo Soo.

Hong Do finishes cleaning Yi Seok’s office by herself. She asks for her consultation so he agrees to do it at the moment. He asks her how she feels and she says she feels uncomfortable at the way he looks at her because he must be thinking she looks really ugly. He agrees and this enrages Hong Do. She tells him that is her weakness not being able to face people but that he is full of weaknesses himself, in short, that he is a horrible person. The next day he calls her to come to work. She was worried that he would tell her to get lost again so her sprits go up.

On her way to meet Yi Seok she goes to Doo Soo’s place to leave him some fruit but sees how Doo Soo is meeting a girl from a blind date and they are even going to meet other family member. Tun tun tun!!!! She looks heart-broken.

Hong Do and Yi Seok go to treat the naked lady who seems to be having some more trouble. Hong Do mentions how she noticed that the naked lady has a couple ring with her mom. I think that’s gonna be important later on. The girl has spots all over her body but is not a food allergy. She also reacts uncomfortable every time her mom touches her.

It turns out the mom is a control freak who thinks she is best and she knows best and the daughter was getting suffocated by it. I’ll admit that Yi Seok is not a complete useless doctor after all.

No, Yi Seok, don’t get cocky, is not up to that extent…

So Yi Seok is feeling great and tells Hong Do that he will help her tell Doo Soo “Did You Sleep Well?” which is something that she really wishes to be able to ask him. They meet the next day in front of Doo Soo’s house and Hong Do, filled with corage takes off her helmet. At that moment Doo Soo comes out and recognizes her instantly. She starts mumbling “Did You”, “Did You”, and eventually tells him “I Like You”.

What?!! This conclude episode 3. To be honest I don’t think this really happened, she wasn’t blushing before she said “I Like You”. And his reaction to her there was too natural. I don’t know, I can’t be sure of course. Maybe my next post I will be completely embarrassed as to have made such an assumption but we’ll have to wait and see. I really like the sweet moments in this chapter and especially the car-talking scene between Hong Doo and Doo Soo. Let’s wait for tomorrow and find out what really happened!
