The Root Cause Of The Sibling Rivalry Between Yong Jun And His Older Brother Song Hyun


Yesterday's episode had a serious half followed by a lighthearted half. But what's lighter and softer without serious moments to balance the show from becoming denser and wackier? This episode starts off with some light, steamy moments followed up by the whole flashback of what really happened. Why did the two brothers have so much resentment that's deeper than the ongoing love triangle?

Song Yun's nightmarish flashbacks in yesterday's episode are finally revealed. It was revealed that both Song Yun and Yong Jun were once out in a walk prior to the kidnapping incident. Yup, that was one scary scene and good thing the suicide was done off-screen. Yong Jun was thirsty and Song Hyun wanted to buy some water. Some stranger tricked Yong Jun into helping her and then she kidnapped him. Yong Jun was later hospitalized from the trauma and Song Hyun also gets traumatized because it's really all his fault -- why did he leave his younger brother there rather than accompany him to get some water, right?

The parents finally try to fix the problem and they have also been part of the problem. What I like about the South Korean drama is the culture of accountability. The parents don't want to excuse themselves any longer and neither would Yong Jun. Yong Jun thought that by pretending he's forgotten about the bad memories that everything will be back. Instead, it caused Song Yun to believe that he was kidnapped and it was all Yong Jun's fault. Oh boy, talk about all the unnecessary hatred that had happened for years.

It was also touching to see how Yong Jun not only talks to his parents about it but also to his older brother Song Yun. I wonder has Song Yun managed to let go of Mi Soo or are we still going to see him try and forget her, no matter how painful it is? I really love the emotional scene when both brothers start to own up for their mistakes in the past. Yong Jun asks Song Yun to also forgive himself so they can start the healing process. It may be necessary to make sure that the love triangle won't aggravate itself further.

Just in, I thought about it that we're two weeks and four episodes away from the finale. I just can't wait to see the finale. Two more weeks and it's going to be the end.
