Heart to Heart - Episode 7

Heart to Heart

Episode 7

As this chapter starts we can hear a little girl reading the story of Rapunzel, a princess locked away and alone in a tower that was later rescued by a prince and her one true love. This girl is little Cha Hong Do who is locked away in her closet. She already has a bad attitude. Jajaja

Then Hong Do grows and is still wearing the same clothes in the same closet. She’s still waiting for her prince, when she suddenly hears two voices. One is the handsome and considerate Jang Doo Soo and next to him is the annoying jerk Go Yi Seok. It seems that she will ultimately pick the jerk. Why? Beats me. Maybe she’s a masochist? She has a near perfect man caring for her, but she wants to run behind the a-hole. *Sighs*.

Now, we are back to the moment Cha Hong Do was desperately calling for the fire truck to pull over the clinic. She thinks Yi Seok is inside. But the truth is that he’s been watching her from his car this whole time. He looks far too happy about.

Hong Do comes out of the building and finds Yi Seok standing next to his car. She runs to strangle him and then gives up. Never give up Cha Hong Do!! She starts to leave; she had a date after all. Yi Seok tries to prevent her from leaving. He thinks is because he pranked her. He doesn’t know about her date.

Hong Do arrives at the bakery, she’s not expecting to see Doo Soo there after making him wait so much but… the heavens are open and the angelical chorus start… he is still waiting for her. He even thanks her for coming! Is he a saint or what?!

That’s a man, everybody…

Perfect-like-man Doo Soo emptied a fancy restaurant for Hong Do. But this is not like when your average Chaebol does it to show off money. He did it because he knew she would feel uncomfortable around people. He confesses that he’s not getting married and that he really wanted to see her. Hong Do ran away after hearing all this. Could she not contain her feels?

Yi Seok is in the Go mansion checking on his mom. She’s having a re-lapse because she slept with her husband (apparently they are still married) and now she is repenting. He then reaches for his phone to call non other than Hong Do.

She answers and tells him all about her micro date with Doo Soo, Yi Seok responds to everything like an old, jealous maid.

Se Ro is at the police station once again. She has come to thank Doo Soo for taking her home the night she was drunk. She tries to give him money for gas but he doesn’t want to accept it.

She has also lost one earring, probably on his car. They are now searching for it. Se Ro starts to vaguely remember that night, but when I say vaguely, I mean it. She remembers that there was someone singing that night and thinks it was Doo Soo when in fact it was a drunk that was using a tree as a restroom nearby. She has fallen for Doo Soo, since “he was the first man to sing to her”.

Meanwhile Hong Do is happy and thrilled that she spent a long 10 whole minutes with Doo Soo.

The next day at the clinic Yi Seok can’t believe that for Hong Do 10 minutes are a success. He tells her to practice with him looking into each other eyes. She should imagine he is Doo Soo. This whole façade quickly explodes in his face as he starts to want to kiss her and start blushing himself.

He then makes her an indecent proposal. They should go to his apartment and just sleep. Told you he wouldn’t be able to sleep without her. Then he tells her that if they do it, it would be even better. She, of course, leaves.

Outside, Jang Doo Soo is waiting for her. He bought a red scarf for her and put it on her neck himself.

He keeps making little confessions one after the other. He’s so sweet! Then Yi Seok ruins the moment. He starts with his jealous outburst and insults Hong Do. Doo Soo looks like he just wants to punch him in the face. Hong Do leaves and Yi Seok lowers his car window to have a talk with Doo Soo. Yi Seok thinks of himself as a mafia boss now.

He tells Doo Soo that he will have Hong Do. Doo Soo tells him that he won’t allow it.

As soon as Hong Do arrives at her home she gets a phone call from Doo Doo. He wants to know if she arrived well. He also wants to take her to work but she declines. He has been making many little confessions but he must feel that he needs to make the record straight.

He tells her that he likes her, is not pity or sympathy. He even kept everything that she gave him. Even all the little notes that came with the side dishes she made for him.

The next morning Doo Soo comes by Hong Do’s house and found out that she needs to pay or she will be kick out to the streets. She is in her granny costume and meets him outside. He offers to take her but she says no. He starts to walk her to the bus stop and even puts his arm around her and she runs away. It’s frustrating really. She is the one that confessed first. I know of her condition, but she wants him and still keeps pushing him away. And he is just too sweet.

‘Granny Hong Do’ arrives at the Go mansion and commotion reigns in the place. Yi Seok’s mom took too many sleeping pills and was taken out in Yi Seok’s back. Hong Do then goes into her room, without anyone knowing and without consent. Why?! You shouldn’t do that!! She sees Yi Seok’s mom suicide note.

Hong Do learns the story of Il Suk, Yi Seok’s older twin that died before. Their personalities where different and everyone loved Il Suk a little bit more. Why is the picture in black & white?

Yi Seok’s mom is in the hospital and Yi Seok has decided he will take care of her himself. Because of this, he’s not answering his phone. Random detail, but we know because Hong Do is worried and is calling him but can’t reach him.  What will she tell him once he wonders how she found out? In the end she calls the Go mansion posing as ‘granny Hong Do’ and asks for Yi Seok’s mom wellbeing.

Yi Seok mans up and goes to his father. Even thou he warns his father (very vaguely) his father still disregards him. But Yi Seok hasn’t seen the end of this. He decides to humiliate him in front of a colleague – or whatever that other guy is – and tells him to earn their trust slowly.

While everyone is in their turmoil of sadness and wariness, Doo Soo and Detective Yang talk about what they would like in a couple. Doo Soo says he wishes to look each other in the eyes and hold hands the most. He would also like to have children with Hong Do.

Hong Do keeps calling Yi Seok but he still doesn’t answer. That’s why she decides to go out and find him.

On her way out she meets Doo Soo. He has just come to her because he really wanted to see her. And he manages to make her lower her guard, meaning lower her hand from her face.

This really sucks. This girl is in love with this awesome guy and somehow he falls for her. But now, she likes some other jerk. I think that’s why she’s lowering her guard. What about Doo Soo? What about DOO SOO!!!

He takes her to the empty restaurant again and talks about how he sent money to her landlady because of the earlier encounter.

He also tells her that he hates seeing her with Go Yi Seok. Makes him want to punch Yi Seok. Get in line… And he says the sweetest thing. That he will always cherish her and love her. Right on cue, her phone rings. Doo Soo guess in Yi Seok and takes her phone to answer himself. Yi Seok is drunk. Doo Soo tells him not to call again and advices Hong Do to turn her mobile off to avoid the drunken calls.

Hong Do, now alone at her home is battling herself. Should she call Yi Seok? Should she avoid him since Doo Soo hates it? She opts to ‘hide’ the phone. That doesn’t matter since she keeps worrying about Yi Seok.

She spends the whole night making side dishes for Doo Soo but worried sick for Yi Seok. In the morning she turns her mobile back on and is disappointed when the first call she gets is from Jang Doo Soo. He thanks her for the side dishes and tells her to go to the doctor and get treated, that even if he doesn’t like it, he will hold it in because he cares about her. Isn’t he lovely!

Hong Do gets sick (literally). Even when Yi Seok tells her not to go to work like that, she rushes to the office.

She confesses that she is confused because she really likes Doo Soo but keeps thinking of Yi Seok and wants to hug him. So, Yi Seok tells her “Then hug me”. He likes this far too much.

And she does and even when she is sick they kiss, again.

That’s the end of this chapter. It kills me to see how the good guys always end up being thrown aside. Why is it they are not appreciated by the female leads? She was the one who liked him first! Ah, never mind my little rant. It seems that Yi Seok and Hong Do are gonna get together now. I wonder what’s gonna happen now for the drama to keep on going. I bet it’s gonna have to do with the whole ‘Granny Hong Do’ thing and her stealing Yi Seok’s mom suicide letter. Ah, yes, she did that. Well, we will have to keep watching.
