He holds her back again, and reminds her that they agreed that she can’t turn back, and he can’t send her away. She laughs in his face and even refuses triple (though it clearly pains her) and tries to run. If she takes the secretary-guise, he offers to double it. He tells her to check her account, and the amount deposited makes her eyes pop. She complains about the “slave contract” (apparently the disguise is to be his “secretary”) and he says it’s her fault for not reading it first. “I’m Cha Do-hyun,” he says, and marches her back in. (Do-hyun: “I didn’t get annoyed!”) His parting advice to Do-hyun is, “Don’t lose her.”ĭo-hyun catches Ri-jin trying to sneak away, but he pulls her back by the collar. He repeats Do-hyun’s earlier words about not letting her get close to him, and notes how Do-hyun contains his own emotions so strongly - but for the first time in eleven years, Chief Ahn saw him get annoyed because someone got past his walls. Outside, the chief asks Do-hyun what’ll happen if she turns it down. It must be the first fun he’s had for years. Chief Ahn cryptically mentions a disguise while Do-hyun is a picture of innocence. She has a little meltdown.Ĭomposed again, she asks what they’ll do about when he’s at the office. Ri-jin asks where she’ll be living - is it somewhere nearby? She hasn’t looked at the contract yet, so they explain that since she needs to keep an eye on Do-hyun 24/7, she has to live with him. Seok, detailed profiles on each alter, and his personal diaries from the last eleven years. They include his patient histories from Dr. Ri-jin and Chief Ahn reel and ask again, “Shin Se-gi?!” Hahaha.ĭo-hyun drops a ton of reading in front of Ri-jin, and enjoys her dismay. He insists that he’s not annoyed, but when Ri-jin encourages him to express his feelings, he bellows at her. As if he isn’t there, Ri-jin and Chief Ahn discuss him, worried his fit of temper might provoke a switch. They’re not used to seeing gentle Do-hyun mad. They simultaneously exclaim, “Shin Se-gi?!” He forcefully frees himself, which surprises Ri-jin and Chief Ahn. In this case: Friendship! Bromance! Romance! Lipstick!ĭo-hyun struggles in Ri-jin’s grip. And we all know triangles have mystical magical powers. So we can cheer up that Do-hyun - whose inner circle is more like a line with two points - gets to add his third point, making it at least a triangle (and about time, too). Just in Do-hyun, he draws out the painful mixture of loneliness, fear and isolation which serve to make him a man apart - less a beast and more an alien, the only one of his kind. Although the metaphors aren’t subtle, the emotional delivery and throughline are everything I could wish for, and I’m in awe of Ji Sung and his power to inhabit a character (…inhabited by other characters). What’s great about this show is how increasingly grounded it becomes in its own reality, letting the humor run high and the pathos run deep. 297 FebruJanuKill Me, Heal Me: Episode 8 by Saya
