Heart to Heart

Episode 14

Chapter 14 starts as in a dream or a long lost memory. Cha Hong Do and Go Yi Seok are together in a road surrounded by trees. With an air of goodbye, they kiss.

Hong Do confesses that she is to blame for the fire that caused Il Suk’s death. Yi Seok is altered but doesn’t want to believe it. Hong Do gives him a picture where she is with her grandma besides Grandpa Go’s assistant, Yi Seok and his twin. He gets out of the house still not quite believing it. Hong Do is left alone and crying.

Yi Seok runs to his house. He believes his grandfather is fabricating all these paper to get him away from Hong Do. He is simply in denial.

He even talks to Grandpa Go’s assistant, and he shows Yi Seok some old pictures. One of them identical to the one Hong Do gave him.

Even with the pictures he doesn’t believe that Hong Do is that kid. He bows to find the actual truth.

Yi Seok goes back to Hong Do’s house. He asks a few questions trying to make the situation into an impossible but Hong Do tells him that she remembers (vaguely).

He quickly turns into a jerk and tells her that she ruined his family and that she should take responsibility. Yeah, she was 6 years old. Can nobody think to put a little blame on the one that lost or left the matches? Seriously what the heck can she do now? Is not like she did it on purpose!

Doo Soo is investigating the fire from 23 years ago. He finds on a record that the fire was lit with a lighter, but Hong Do clearly remembers the matches. He receives a message from Se Ro asking to see him and he goes out immediately, no fights no more.

Se Ro wanted to give back the jacket and see him since she was feeling down. Instead he starts asking questions about her family. She leaves disappointed but hoping he will stop her. And he does, he stops her to apologize because he is worried about her, but Se Ro wants a bit more from him, not only worries.

Yi Seok starts drinking as soon as he gets to the mansion. Grandpa Go asks him to sit down but Yi Seok is acting all cynical and, I think for the first time, he is telling everything he thought and felt. He doesn’t care what his mom feels right now. He’s had it with the world. He says his mom is to blame as well since she was to busy fighting with his dad and send them outside. He says he is also to blame because he hated his brother since everyone loved Il Suk more. He says he know they would have been happier if he was the one that died.

Everyone is crying or in total silence. It’s a moment filled with drama and tension. You know what, it might be a stretch but I bet it was the father’s fault. I bet he was smoking with the lighter but never said anything.

Grandpa Go’s assistant goes to see Dr. Uhm. She advice him that is better that the Go family resolves this instead of burying it again.

See!! He is drunk, crying and saying it’s ‘all his fault’. Grandpa Go is telling him to be quiet and don’t say useless thing. He is the guilty one and Grandpa Go buried everything for his family.

Yi Seok is just drinking in his apartment and remembering that day. To his defence he did run to his brother aid when he heard him shouting. Se Ro arrives and tells him to stop drinking and that nothing was his fault. She really loves her brother.

The next morning Mr. Ahn (Grandpa Go’s assistant) calls to Hong Do’s door and tells her that Grandpa Go wants to meet her in a café nearby. Could they just let her be?! Rich people!

Se Ro arrives at Doo Soo’s house and asks him to call Hong Do since she can’t reach her. But Hong Do isn’t picking Doo Soo’s calls either. Se Ro asks him to take care of Hong Do for the time being and goes to see Hong Do, she needs to meet her as well.

Well, he started!!

Grandpa Go meets Cha Hong Do. He gives her a big pack of money to “cover her moving expenses”. She doesn’t want to take it, but they leave before she can give it back. If I was her, I would have thrown it at them, or send it back by mail. The worst thing she can do right now is take that money. This only reinforces my theory that Yi Seok’s father is the one to blame.

Dr. Uhm goes to see Yi Seok at his apartment. Apparently everyone has his door code. And here we go; he gets to the conclusion that her condition must be because of the fire incident. I very well remember that she did go to at least high school or middle school. I also remember Yi Seok telling her that seeing at how she reacted to other woman it might have been a girl the responsible for her anthorophobia. But no, lets disregard all those facts that ‘nobody’ is gonna remember. *SIGH

He cries and tells Dr. Uhm how everything is his fault and feels sorry of how his mistake caused pain to Hong Do. But Dr. Uhm tells him that he was only twelve and the accident wasn’t his fault and that he needs to move on now.

Grandpa Go’s assistant has stayed behind and insists on taking Hon Do home. He tells her to hold on to Yi Seok because he needs her now. She didn’t give him the money back.

Se Ro is waiting for Hong Do outside her house. She’s been waiting for hours but doesn’t want to miss her. She is being in contact with Doo Soo who is now feeling guilty over letting her wait out in the cold so long without helping. So cute!

Hong Do goes to the clinic where everything reminds her of Yi Seok. She gets a phone call from Yi Seok himself and she answers. He’s in his car and is going to meet her there. Right at that moment Doo Soo calls Yi Seok and Yi Seok lets him know that he is not going to break up with Cha Hong Do.

Knowing that Hong Do is ok, Doo Soo gets Se Ro and takes her to eat something hot. Unlike Se Ro, she starts to get on Doo Soo’s nerve by talking back and ordering him around, being all contrary to all he says. She just wanted to see him angry and is back to herself once she gets it. (He just got a little bit annoyed).

Hong Do and Yi Seok sit and talk honestly. Yi Seok apologizes for blaming her and screaming at her. He knows he’s also at fault for the incident and doesn’t really blame her. She tells him that she won’t run away, she will stay with him for as long as he wants, and she will like him each day even more. Yi Seok looks as if he just heard exactly what he wanted and needed to hear. He looks genuinely happy.

Yi Seok goes to ask Grandpa Go to forgive Cha Hong Do but he doesn’t want to. Yi Seok threatens him to leave the house but Grandpa Go just throws it back at him and tells him he will be the one to cut him off. But then he gets another heart attack.

Grandpa Go is at the hospital and he’s in bad shape. Yi Seok’s mom tells him that even if they forgive Hong Do they can’t accept her. Basically, she blamed Yi Seok for this heart attack and tells him that his grandfather will die if he keeps insisting on Hong Do. If he keeps doing that he will break the family apart and begs him to break up with Hong Do.

Is late at night and Se Ro is finishing a filming schedule. Her car won’t start up and, wait for it… Doo Soo calls her first! He is calling to ask about Hong Do and Yi Seok but notices that Se Ro is having problems and runs to her (literally). He fixes her car and then Se Ro gets a phone call telling her about Grandpa Go.

She gets all nervous and flustered and of course Doo Soo makes her get on the passenger seat to drive her. Well, he is yours Go Se Ro! :D

Yi Seok is feeling guilty. He calls Hong Do and tells her that Grandpa Go collapsed. He tells her that they can’t go on like that. And breaks up with her over the phone. He is crying his heart out. Either way he looses.

Hong Do keeps going to work but Yi Seok is not. Fortunately Grandpa Go is ok or at least ok enough to walk into his home. For Yi Seok and Hong Do, separation is bitter.

Yi Seok decides to see Hong Do for the last time and say goodbye properly.

They walk in the forest, just like the scene at the beginning telling each other what they would like the other to do, such as, don’t hide, go out to the world, be good to your family and treat your patients well.

They kiss goodbye and Yi Seok once more say ‘I Love You’. Hong Do remains silent and Yi Seok, decided, turns to leave. This is when for the first time, Hong Do tells him that she loves him back. This makes Yi Seok falter for a minute, but he keeps going just like he promised to his family.

This is how this chapter ends. Its obvious by now that Hong Do is not the real culprit in Il Suk’s death, but the old man doesn’t want to reveal the truth to not stain his family any further. He is once more disregarding Yi Seok’s life and his love. He has also ruined Hong Do’s life once and is doing it again. I hate when that happens! Anyway, as things are going it seems we will have a happy ending after all. Two more chapters to go and we will see the complete development of the story.

Heart to Heart - Episode 13

Heart To Heart

Episode 13

As we start this new chapter we go back to the time when they were all kids. It’s a continuation of last episode prologue. This time we see as Yi Seok and his twin Il Seok go into a little storage room to hide. Il Seok who is the bossy one, chooses to hide inside a big metal barrel and tells (not asking) Yi Seok that he’ll have that place and to put the lid on him. Yi Seok does so, a bit mad because he lost a good hiding place and takes extra care into sealing the lid and putting something heavy on top of it. He goes out and sits down to read as we see how the fire starts spreading without any of the kids noticing.

Back to the future… Yi Seok has barged into Hong Do’s house and is all over the place. Is the first time Hong Do has a visitor and she is worried of how Grandpa Go would react, so she keeps telling Yi Seok to leave but he doesn’t want to.

Back at the mansion Grandpa Go confirms that Yi Seok went to Hong Do’s house. He wants to keep the whole story buried and his solution is to send Hong Do abroad. -_- To a sick person, really? His assistant tries to persuade him otherwise but Grandpa Go would hear no reasons.

Yi Seok pretends to be tired and plants himself in Hong Do’s bed. She doesn’t want to share but he carries her to the bed and hugs her. He tells her he loves her and once more Hong Do just remains silent.

The next morning Yi Seok is taking down all the locks Hong Do had on her door. She said it was to keep thieves out, but he said it was to keep her out of the world. She gets a phone call from Yi Seok’s mom. She wants to meet Hong Do and asks her not to tell Yi Seok. I bet she will ask her to leave as well and she’ll probably have a fit or something.

Hong Do meets Yi Seok’s mom and she goes directly to the point. She asks her if having one of her sons wasn’t enough. She accuses her directly of killing Il Seok.

Hong Do doesn’t really knows what she is talking about but when she arrives at her house she starts going thru her grandmother things and finds some papers and some (a lot) of pictures of precisely that moment in her childhood. That’s when she starts having flashes of those memories. I mean, you would think that the grandma would burn those pictures if she wanted to burry that moment and they were in a random drawer. By the way Hong Do wasn’t very red. She should be going backwards right now and be redder than ever before.

Grandpa Go scolds Yi Seok’s mom for telling Hong Do about the incident. Now, Yi Seok will find out too and they don’t want that.

Go Se Ro has landed another part. This time as a schoolgirl but she is not doing very well. By the way, she is working with the same people. Are they the only ones filming stuff?

Se Ro is feeling down after ruining her part today and goes to see Jang Doo Soo. She asks him to buy her some coffee from the machine at the police station and he complies without complaints. She tells him all that has happened and that she only has him to talk to now. She asks for a drink but he is working so they can't.  

Yi Seok goes to see his mom. She has shown signs of hysteria and is asking for him. Grandpa Go’s assistant also warns him that they want to send Cha Hon Go out of the country. Yi Seok’s mom asks Yi Seok to not leave his side. And ends up telling him that she saw Hong Do today and that she hates her. Yi Seok looks confused right now. It’s obvious since he doesn’t know why his mom is saying those things.

Hong Do is having a difficult time, memories keep popping back but she still isn’t sure and can’t believe she did that. Her phone keeps ringing but she isn’t answering. She looks redder now.

Yi Seok can’t get a hold of Hong Do. He is still by his mom’s side and when he is about to leave, she tells her that if he goes she will die. Since she is an unstable person, he stays with her.

At the end of his shift Doo Soo takes Se Ro home. She is talking non-stop about herself and her life in the States. He is listening. She doesn’t have any friends in Korea but tells him she won’t accept him as a friend. When they arrived she tells him she will continue talking about herself next time and takes a jacket of his that she was using to cover her legs. He is falling for her. Awww!!

Madame Hwang, the housekeeper, goes back to work at the Go mansion because Yi Seok asked her to. But even thou she is working there; she has decided she will say everything she wants and starts bickering immediately with Grandpa Go. Ah, Love!

Doo Soo was wandering about Hong Do’s place for no reason when he over heard Hong Do’s landlord talking about how she didn’t see her anymore. Doo Soo gets worried and keeps calling her but she doesn’t answer. He goes to her place and brings down a door finding her unconscious. He picks her up and goes out. That was pretty impressive of him. Sorry I’m still a bit biased.

Yi Seok goes looking for Hong Do and finds the broken door. When he goes in, he can’t find her so he thinks his family sent her away.

Doo Soo takes Hong Do to the hospital. She is suffering from exhaustion but looks like she’s in shock. She is not answering Doo Soo’s questions until he says he is gonna call Yi Seok. She snaps out of it and asks him not to, she confesses to him that she killed Yi Seok’s brother.

Yi Seok is at the mansion. He wants to know what they did with Cha Hong Do. His mom tries to stop him again by threatening her life (again). This is when Yi Seok snaps, she always does that and he is tired of it. His Grandpa comes out and shouts at him but Yi Seok just asks them to stop interfering with his life and leaves.

Hong Do is back at her place. Doo Soo offers to fix the door and Hong Do goes back to the pictures. She starts crying again and tells Doo Soo he can leave. He doesn’t think that’s a good idea and decides to take her out again.

They go to a frozen lake. Doo Soo tries to console her saying that she was too young and didn’t know better but Hong Do believes in her guilt. She tells him that she won’t be able to face Yi Seok and Doo Soo tells her to break up with him and use him as a reason but Hong Do just wants to disappear.

Yi Seok is in Hong Do’s house, just sitting there and trying to contact Hong Do but she is still not answering.  

Se Ro goes to the police station looking for Doo Soo but he is not there. She asks Detective Yang to contact him, but Doo Soo isn’t answering any phone calls.

Hong Do and Doo Soo arrive at her home. Yi Seok is sitting there and tells her that he forgives her for everything, although he still doesn’t know what it is. Doo Soo tells Yi Seok to go outside to talk, and that he and Hong Do spent the night together (he just said that no details). Yi Seok doesn’t believe him but Hong Do starts begging for forgiveness.

He still doesn’t know a thing but leaves without any real explanation from any side.

Doo Soo is investigating the fire from Hong Do’s childhood. He wants to know more.

Hong Do looks like she is packing her things, ready to disappear. At that instance Yi Seok arrives at her place ready to talk. He starts apologizing but she asks him not to. Instead she starts apologizing and asking him to go, not giving any answers. After trying to get something from her but only receiving ‘I’m sorry’ Yi Seok lets his imagination run and leaves.

Instead Yi Seok goes to Doo Soo’s house. Doo Soo tries to make him believe that he did slept with Hong Do, but Yi Seok assures him that he knows Hong Do and that he can also tell Doo Soo is lying. He wants the truth.

Hong Do is alone in her house. She wants to disappear and wishes her grandma would have told her about the incident so she wouldn’t have crossed the lives of the Go family.

Yi Seok’s mom arrives at Hong Do’s house. She is looking for Yi Seok. Hong Do just kneels still apologizing and Yi Seok’s mom starts to insult her. Yi Seok enters the house but no one notices.  – Hate when that happens -.

He hears his mom talking about Il Seok and asks them what’s going on. Yi Seok’s mom tells him is nothing and tries to take him away but Hong Do starts talking. She reveals her true name (Young Ji, before her grandmother change it legally). She reveals who her grandmother was and starts confessing. Before she can finish Yi Seok has caught up and is starting to cry and shout.

This is where it ends today. Next chapters are gonna be exhausting. He will not want to see her but then he will miss her too much and then she is gonna disappear and then he will come to terms about his part on his brother’s death. Then he will go looking for her. I bet that’s about what’s gonna happen. I still wish they would not end up together. Is not just because I still hate Yi Seok, it would just be different. I like those kinds of plot twists. I wonder if we are ever gonna know the reason why Hong Do got anthorophobia. I bet they are gonna forget all about that or just brush it off. It even might end up being something stupid or maybe related to the accident. I hope they explain.
