Heart to Heart - Episode 4

The chapter starts and we see images that represent loneliness and suddenly…

What?!! Ok, ok, if you are gonna start the drama like this give me a heads up!! I’m seriously confused right now!

In an apparent change of events, Hong Do actually told Jang Doo Soo that she likes him. Then she ran away, like any sensible person who just made a confession by accident.

At least Doo Soo looks touched and even kind of happy; of course he’s lovely.

Hong Do reaches her home in a flash. Yi Seok calls her and tells her to come out and celebrate her giving this step successfully. He, of course tells her she has to buy…

She is reluctant since she’s never been into the bakery and having anthorophobia is hard for her. He insists and she goes to meet him. 

He then brags about how good he is.

He is soooo humble… That’s exactly my face…

Hong Do tells Yi Seok that instead of “Did you sleep well?” she declared her love for Doo Soo. Now, Yi Seok is baffled and tells Hong Do to say the same to him, to imagine that he (Yi Seok) is Doo Soo (as if…) and say it again to ‘see how shocked Doo Soo was’. He makes her repeat it time after time. Maybe he wants her to think is something common to say and not a bad thing? But, why does it look as if he’s enjoying it? Did he already fell for her? How? Why?

Hong Do’s mobile rings and is Doo Soo calling her. Before she can answer it, Yi Seok takes her phone by force and answers it himself. He tells Jang Doo Soo that Hong Do can’t come to the phone and to forget what happened that morning. But WHY?!! WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT?!?! JERK!!

Go Yi Seok has retaken his practice and is now seeing a patient. She’s an old lady with delusional problems. She sees a 12 years old son who isn’t there. He breaks the news without any tact and the lady is now broken hearted and crying like crazy. (No pun intended). Turns out the lady has terminal cancer and basically her other psychiatrist just let her be happy with her non-existent kid. His mentor Dr. Uhm is demanding an explanation but instead he just insults her as well.

Yi Seok and Hong Do go out to eat. He gives her wine and they toast for her confession. He is not drinking; he isn’t supposed to because of the previous incident with his patient. Besides, he prefers to drink perfume.

Hong Do likes the wine, apparently a little too much and we can predict she is gonna get drunk. She asks him why did he become a doctor. Excellent question Hong Do! Ten points!

He answers with another question. Pfft JA JA JA! He just said he’s a person overflowing with love and attention!! Best joke of the day! Instead of answering he turns the table (not literally) and asks her why does she likes Detective Jang. After some bickering, she answers that she likes everything about Jang Doo Soo. Yi Seok dislikes this answer. Is it his usual jerk-ness or is it jealousy?

Hong Do is now, of course drunk. He, ever the gentleman, calls for a substitute driver. But since she has a scooter, he can’t drive her because she might fall off. Yi Seok ends up driving her but apart from the area where she lives, he doesn’t know the exact place.

She is too drunk and unresponsive at the moment. He ends up taking her to her house. She wakes up in a strange bed and slowly starts recalling what happened the night before.

She goes out and quickly changes into her grandma costume to go work for Grandpa Go. She has a hangover. At the very entrance she bumps into Go Yi Seok but tries her best not to be seen. He is on his phone, so is not paying much attention to her.

Meanwhile Jang Doo Soo is trying to catch another criminal but he tries to be an over achiever and while climbing over a wall, with a (now injured) criminal on the ground he takes a phone call. It’s Go Se Ro calling about her remuneration.

She bickers because she thinks Doo Soo just called her ‘dog poop’, then threatens him a bit more and goes off to her new job as an extra. Today she will play a beggar. I’m looking forward to how is she gonna ruin it today. Jeje

Hong Do smells like alcohol and is trying not to get close to Grandpa Go but he misunderstands this. He thinks she is saying that he smells bad and fires her.

Yi Seok goes to the police station to get the stolen golden hearts back, but is only able to get 1 back. One out of 72 that is. He asks Doo Soo how he felt after the confession. The he tells him that he (Doo Soo) knows and is taking advantage of how Hong Do feels but trying to wrap it up as being neighbours and friends.

Se Ro is actually doing very well at her role but she has to eat and some of the food reminds her of ‘dog poop’ so she keeps hearing Doo Soo calling her so, and ends up not being able to eat and causing another NG, with a lot of complaints from the crew.

Doo Soo reaches his home. He is talking with his fiancé on the phone, but it seems he doesn’t really loves her. He knows he has to get married and is going for it but, but, but… something is missing. His side dishes, courtesy of Cha Hong Do are missing as well. He decides to cross the bridge/path to her place. Hong Do is just arriving and is still on her granny costume. He hasn’t seen her face but addresses her. She just runs out startled, and he runs after her. He catches up and in the midst of running she looses her wig.

He returns with her wig and finally realizes its Hong Do.

Yi Seok who didn’t wanted to be alone calls his ex girlfriend. Let me correct myself, his girlfriend who he is in the process of breaking up with. For some reason she meets him and tells him that she is getting married. Reacting like any abnormal person, he instead keeps flirting with her, tell her to go on a farewell trip with him and as usual brags about just ‘how great he is’.  She, reacting like any normal person would, stands up and leaves.

Back to Hong Do and Doo Soo. He is marvelled at her makeup. He compares it to when he was a kid pretending to be a superhero, pretending to be someone else. He said exactly how she is feeling, making her to open up and start talking.

She tells the story of how she used to live with her grandmother and only play with her because of her anthorophobia. She also reveals that her grandma died and she was left to live alone. It’s quite a moving confession actually. She never went out of her house until she met Detective Jang. He caught a robber that was in her home. Then she was always curious about Doo Soo, so she started thinking of ways to get out. It was all because of Doo Soo. The first way she could go out was dressed as an old lady.

Doo Soo feels sorry and tells her that he is getting married. Hong Do is there, just looking mong.

OMG! That looked like a naked man!! Sorry, easily distracted…

Yi Seo goes to his family house for his older brother ritual. He passed away. He asks about the old lady who was working with Granpa Go. His expression was somewhat suspicious. As if he already knew it was Hong Do.

Hong Do has accepted and is dealing with the fact that Doo Soo is getting married and has decided to change his picture from her mobile home screen.

Hong Do and Yi Seok go to see the old lady from a few days before and she tells them the story of how her 12 years old son died. She said that she feels like a sinner for having lost her kid and that still to this day, it hurts to even breathe. I guess this could show him how his own mother feels about his brother that died.

Yi Seok prescribes more medicine for the old lady. Hong Do asks him to take it back and let her be happy for her last days. She breaks down crying saying that she would give everything to see her own grandmother again. That way he discovers that her grandmother died. In the end, turns out that Yi Seok had in fact reached the same conclusion about the old lady and only prescribed her vitamins.

Se Ro is furious for what happened with the (misheard/misinterpreted/misunderstanding) about the ‘dog poop’ so she goes to the police station and throws a bag of dog poop in Doo Soo’s desk.

Hong Do stands in the rain in front of Doo Soo’s home, saying her last goodbye to her memories and one-sided love. At that time Yi Seok enters his apartment and sees the carpet, still stained and dirty from when Hong Do threw up a few days ago. A small smile appears in his face. As if he just found the perfect excuse to not be alone, or the perfect excuse to call her. He tells her to go to his apartment and stop him from drinking. What a lame excuse. She just breaks down crying on her phone. Although, I’m not sure if he was still on the line.

She reaches Yi Seok’s apartment and is drenched. He tries to help her by sticking napkins on her helmet.

He then treats her more humanly and gives her a change of clothes. He is making some midnight snacks (meaning hot dogs) and has about 20 beers in the table. He said he’s not drinking so she proceeds to do it herself. He looks… happy. She tells him that she is not going to see Detective Jang again and asks him about himself. He tells her that he broke up, or is in the process of breaking up with his girlfriend. Is he still deluding himself with that?! Jeez.

He then tells her that his brother died 23 years ago in a fire. He feels like drinking now but she stops him. That’s her job and ‘that’s why she is there’. He pulls her closer and closer…

And closer, and… forehead kiss?

There’s something you should know about me. I hate forehead kisses. Why? She is not a kid. That is not romantic. If you are being taken away by passion, you go for the lips. Is instinct!!

And he went for the lips!!! Thank you, that’s a real kiss.

She looks confused, but she is going with it. Wow, This must be her first kiss. And now the clothes are flying. Is this really happening?

Well, I guess the drama is over, and I mean over. Wait, is it not? Anyways that was a fast developing of skin ship. Not very usual in Korean dramas but, hey I’m not complaining. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not a pervert. It’s just frustrating some times. I bet you feel the same and more than once have shouted at the screen “Oh, just kiss her already!!” Now there will be a lot of tension between them. I really don’t understand how he fell in love with her. Nothing really special has happened; at least for going that far as to liking or loving someone. I can understand that he likes her company but there’s quite a stretch there. He is not drunk, so he know what’s he’s doing. I bet they will tell us later. Let’s hope.
