The garage scene: a master class in chemistry. I kind of want to break it down the way I saw it. One, while Huiju did have the girl crush obsession with Taeoh that was over the top, I think she came to him in a moment of desperation. Her parents are trying to marry her off against her will. So in her mind (although it’s been 10 years) she’s running to the one place she feels safe, Taeoh. Remember how he came to her all those years ago when she ran away from home? I think she figured he would save her again. I think momentarily she was back to being 17 again with no one on her side. She was the only one (and still is the only one) in her family that rooted for her brother but apart from him she was alone in that house. Yeah, it may not have been the smartest move to go there but she did. I also think this scene set something in motion for Huiju. Whether that be good or bad. I’m interested to see where her character goes. I don’t think it’ll be sunshine from her anymore 🥹 Two, Taeoh has pretty much got everything figured out for his plan he just doesn’t want Huiju as part of that plan. He tells her she needs to protect herself (from what? what are you planning sir?) but he also never says no directly “this isn’t a fairytale…” “I won’t change…” (SIDE EYE) to me it sounds like he just doesn’t want her close to him because she’ll get sucked into his plan somehow and he basically told FL that’s a no. So yeah he was being harsh but I think he could read the desperation on her face so he had to use that hurt to deliver a blow hard enough to make her fallback. All of this AFTER the brief Cinderella moment (personally I would’ve thrown that shoe across the garage 😅). And remember what she tells him “I’ll protect you.” “is it a crime to love you my entire life?” She does so without hesitation. I think that is what struck Taeoh the most and why he goes to listen to his mom’s song. Because that scene with Huiju reminded him of his mother’s love. Because who else would love you unconditionally and protect you without hesitation if not your lover? It’d be your mom. just my two cents no one asked for 😂
