Take Care of the Young Lady - Episode 14



Episode 13 ended with Hye Na asking Dong Chan to run away with her. In episode 14 they do just that.
Hye Na drags Dong Chan away and the pair hide, when they are safe Dong Chan grabs Hye Na and asks her what's going on. She explains the situation and Dong Chan immediately wants to head back. Hye Na assures him if they go back they won't see each other again, she tells him she can't live like that and asks if he can.
Dong Chan ends up agreeing to running away. However you get the feeling that he is doing it as a farewell trip rather than the extreme scenario Hye Na has in mind.

Obviously Director Kang is very happy about how this whole situation pans out, Tae Yoon reads about it in the paper and Eui Joo anxiously tries to reach Dong Chan on her phone (to no avail).



Hye Na and Dong Chan make it to some kind of sea side town. Hye Na can see Dong Chan isn't sure about the whole idea and tries to get him to smile. She eventually succeeds and the pair proceed to frolick in the sea. Later on we cut to the pair trying to barter a room with an old woman. Dong Chan takes charge and doesn't seem to do very well, Hye Na steps in and tells the women her prices are too high and they will go elsewhere. Dong Chan goes to yell at Hye Na but her tactic seems to work and the woman reluctantly agrees to give them the room for cheaper.

The pair get changed and end up on the beach again drawing in the sand. Hye Na gets curious and asks when Dong Chan first started liking her.
When Dong Chan doesn't tell her she starts guessing, but all her guesses are incorrect and the furthest she goes back to is when Dong Chan tried to teach her skin ship.
In the end Dong Chan admits it was when he first saw her cry (That's episode 2 people :o) he explains when he saw that he decided he never wanted to make her cry. Hye Na is touched and Dong Chan makes fun of this before stealing a kiss on the cheek and running off, Hye Na smiles sheepishly before chasing him.

Hours later the pair end up sitting on the beach together watching the sunset, she asks what he likes about her, she asks if it is her beauty to, which Dong Chan laughs telling her she's not very modest.
Hye Na asks him to sing for her (remembering he can from episode 3). Dong Chan agrees.



Meanwhile Eui Joo and Tae Yoon are at a karaoke bar together. Not sure whether Eui Joo is drunk but the way she sings one would hope she is :P Tae Yoon has no problem laughing at her especially as she begins changing the lyrics to incorporate Hye Na's name ^^ (this couple looks so sweet together ^0^)
Anyway when they leave the bar Tae Yoon remarks about her ability to sing in this kind of situation, to which Eui Joo explains it's better than the alternative of crying. She tells Tae Yoon that she is angry with Hye Na and Dong Chan. Tae Yoon's opinion of Hye Na however is the opposite.
Eui Joo accuses him of trying to be too cool and then proceeds to admit she is jealous of Hye Na for having two such men in love with her.

Tae Yoon drives Eui Joo back home and when she gets out of the car it is obvious her mood has changed along the way.
When she gets out of the car he tells her he's not giving up on Hye Na yet, so that if he does lose he can say he really tried.
Eui Joo's Ma witnesses the scene of Tae Yoon bringing her daughter back :P she is obviously not upset about the situation XD

Hye Na and Dong Chan are at this time preparing for bed. Dong Chan tells Hye Na she can have the room, which obviously leaves her feeling a little let down. She asks where he is going to sleep and he explains he will be outside.
Hye Na hints that she wants him to stay with her, whether he gets it or not is unknown but he at least pretends not to ^^;
Hye Na gets angry and when Dong Chan pulls the sheets out of the cupboard she angrily yanks them off him and he lands on top of her.
Dong Chan doesn't move for a moment, Hye Na takes the initiative and closes her eyes. It looks as if he will move in and deal her the kiss, but at the last minute he thinks better of it and leaves walking out onto the beach.

Whilst he is alone Dong Chan phones Manager Jang, worried about what is going on back home.
Manager Jang asks if he is sure he is doing the right thing, after all if Hye Na stays with him, she will lose everything.
This obviously hits a nerve with Dong Chan and he is left in thought on the beach.
Hye Na comes up behind him and puts her arms around him, it scares him at first but when he realises what is happening he smiles.
Hye Na can tell something is wrong and asks if he has any regrets, she explains that she doesn't.



The next morning Dong Chan wakes up to find that Hye Na has made his favourite meal for his breakfast. Dong Chan is impressed by her effort even if her skills aren't that great :P
Dong Chan explains that it is time to go back, Hye Na admits she thought they would stay longer and isn't sure whether her Grandpa will have calmed down yet, but agrees to go back with him and try, when he explains they won't be happy without it.
Dong Chan returns the hair clip of hers that he had been keeping, she admits she can't remember losing it.

Dong Chan arranges a meeting with Grandpa and then Grandpa arranges a meeting with Tae Yoon where they setup plans for an engagement meal with Hye Na and Tae Yoon's family.

How Hye Na does not pick up that something is wrong is a mystery to me, you'd think she'd be suspicious of Dong Chan's off beat behaviour.
He escorts her to an expensive hotel and into a lift trying to calm her down. He leads her into a fancy room where she comments on the size. Dong Chan makes up something about Grandpa not being able to find anywhere else last minute.
He then excuses himself, telling her he needs to use the bathroom. Hye Na buys it, Dong Chan leaves and as he does he steals one final glance at Hye Na happily making herself comfortable at the table, totally oblivious that she is being setup >< onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6jxQK0P8bf28YPVW-dS2uekIKbVAlGvnWm0lkqRpjCD_ZZ2ZDbbwSkQsmXJbC2qxp-o4HpJHhJSLnrI99z7zaqmVPj70HXX5i1aX2zbI_-6sij_nC_uQX-DyCSVjsZJNcpsBvuG4w5f45/s1600-h/Ep+14+DC+and+HN+go+to+see+Grandpa.jpg">

Hye Na arrives at the flower shop where Dong Chan is shocked to meet her. She deals him a very deserved slap around the face and tells him she was willing to give up everything for him, but obviously his love for her wasn't that sincere if he could just give her away like that.
She then leaves in tears, Dong Chan is left not knowing what to do.

Back at the Kang Mansion, Manager Jang and Maid Jung argue about whether Hye Na and Dong Chan should be together. Maid Jung things they should whilst Manager Jang (though he likes Dong Chan) thinks they shouldn't (for Hye Na's own good).

When Hye Na refuses to return home and opts for staying in a hotel Maid Jung phones Dong Chan.

Dong Chan goes to the hotel ready to drag Hye Na back to the mansion, but she refuses to go, furious with him.
She asks why he thinks she asked him to run away with her, did he think she was bored? She explains that she was ok giving up everything if she could be with him, but he wasn't willing to do the same. She calls him selfish and a coward.

Dong Chan pauses and admits maybe he is a coward but she gave up everything for him and he had nothing to give up in return. The most important thing to him was her and that was the only thing important enough to him that he could sacrifice for her.

It obviously wasn't how Hye Na imagined the conversation would turn out. Dong Chan ends up leaving, it's obvious he was hurt by her words. Hye Na cries but it doesn't stop him from leaving.

Dong Chan makes it all the way to the lobby before his recent memories of their conversations together kick in and he is urged to turn back.
He ends up running back to the room and banging on the door. When Hye Na opens it there are still tears in her eyes.
Dong Chan pushes through and embraces her tightly before kissing her, as the door begins to shut us out of view, we see Hye Na removes his jacket ;) ... end of episode!

What a way to leave us hanging for a week! :o



So wow! Nice ending <3 haha this had people on the edge of their seats and it certainly had me :P the last scene of the show was very powerful, I really enjoyed it, it gave the show some of it's spark back, it was a really emotional few minutes and I felt so bad for Hye Na.

The episode like the previous was very laid back in its approach, the last 4 episodes are usually the most angst ridden and it's a fight to get to the finish. But for some reason this show hasn't gone so dark. It may be because of the lack of a strong evil other character. In most shows this is about where the Other woman gets her way for a moment or where the other guy stirs things up. In this show the only real angst comes from Grandpa who really doesn't want Hye Na and Dong Chan together. Whilst I was expecting it, it was a bit bizarre for me to watch. In most Korean dramas the parents/ guardians don't like the other person in the relationship from the get go. I guess this drama put Dong Chan in a more awkward position. He was originally liked by Grandpa Kang to have that respect and then lose it and have to try and regain it again would require putting his pride down.

Hye Na and Dong Chan running away together was fairly expected, as in a lot of Korean dramas they had a moment to be happy together and escape it all, but as in all drama they both realise they can't run forever and the only true way to be happy is to face the problem head on.

The episode was sweet, to be honest not a huge amount happened, but it was sweet... the Eui Joo, Tae Yoon push is obvious but at the same time I like it so I won't complain ^^

Episode 14 fighting <3

Take Care of the Young Lady - Episode 13





Episode 13 and Hye Na and Dong Chan are finally a couple! YAY!

So after finally having a kiss at the end of episode 12, the pair leave the hospital together. As they sit outside together, Dong Chan seems in shock :P whilst Hye Na seems to be happily nervous.
Dong Chan asks why she likes him, Hye Na replies with "I didn't say I liked you" ^^; and then continues to say that she doesn't know why she just does. She shuffles towards him and links arms with him, which he responds to, he holds out his hand for her to take.

Back home Eui Joo worries about Dong Chan after hearing that he had an accident from her Ma. Eui Joo's Ma tells her that Hye Na went over so it's fine, but now Eui Joo is wondering as to why they still haven't returned.

Meanwhile Hye Na and Dong Chan walk down the street together hand in hand, happy. Eui Joo waits pacing the stairs when she notices Hye Na and Dong Chan walking towards her. She double takes when she sees the pair holding hands. She immediately moves to hide, not knowing how to react to the situation.

The two have a mini playful arguement about who was holding hands so tightly, then a little embarassed say good night to each other.
However it isn't long before Hye Na runs screaming into Dong Chan's room. Dong Chan panics pulling his shirt back on as he was in the midst of changing.
Hye Na screams as she realises what she walked in on, then Dong Chan reminds her she's not looking very suitable either, Hye Na immediately pulls the shirt she had on up to hide her bra straps.
She explains that there is a bug in her room that's why she was screaming, she wants Dong Chan to be the man and dispose of it for her.

Dong Chan obliges and enters her room. Hye Na flaps and slaps him on the back, he immediately winces in pain reminding her that he was in an accident. Hye Na immediately panics and starts lifting up his shirt trying to see if he has any serious injuries ^^; when she realises what she is doing she stops, she looks at Dong Chan awkwardly, he looks to her shoulder where her bra strap has fallen down, she immediately pulls it up and begins covering herself with her cardigan getting back onto the chair.

Eui Joo arrives at a bar to find Tae Yoon drinking himself into a slumber. She tells him about the Hye Na and Dong Chan development. He doesn't seem that surprised or bothered. He admits he thought Dong Chan was getting in the way but it was actually the other way around.
He ends up getting so drunk that he can't walk and Eui Joo not being able to drag him for long ends up checking him into the nearest motel.
She lies him down on the bed, but it isn't long before he his hugging her tight and muttering Hye Na's name.
When he finally let's go, Eui Joo starts to undo his tie, he immediately sits up to face her, she sits frozen, until Tae Yoon darts to the bathroom to be sick. Eui Joo follows patting his back.



Meanwhile Hye Na and Dong Chan sit outside the house, Hye Na wonders if they can stay together. Dong Chan admits he is unsure but that he wants to be with her until she returns to her Grandpa at least. He asks if she will be his lover at least until then. She smiles and hugs him.

At some point the pair ended up lying down together and falling asleep. Eui Joo's Ma finds them the next morning, Hye Na is lying on top of Dong Chan. When they wake to see Eui Joo's Ma both of them pretend they don't know how they got there ^^; but Eui Joo's Ma is no fool lol, not that she says anything.

In the meantime Eui Joo wakes up at the motel... alone. Angry and groggy she leaves for work where she is questioned by Soo Ah. Instead of assuming that Eui Joo had a seedy night at a motel with a guy she assumes that Eui Joo is too poor to do her own washing ^^;

Back at the house Hye Na checks on Dong Chan to find him asleep with a fever. She puts a wet cloth on his forehead and takes care of him until she falls asleep by his side.
He wakes a bit later to find her sleeping beside him. He puts the quilt over her and leaves.
Hye Na wakes again later to find Dong Chan gone.

Whilst this is going on Tae Yoon has taken in it upon himself to do a bit of soul searching :P he returns to the location where he and Hye Na volunteered together and became a couple. One moment he is happily taking pictures and another he is sadly reminiscing.



Hye Na talks with Dong Chan in the park about Tae Yoon, she admits that she was happy that she didn't find him that day to talk to him about their relationship ending, but that she is sorry to him.

Whilst working on her site Hye Na realises there are a lot of things she doesn't know about Dong Chan and she starts asking him questions.
A possible part time job comes through. Dong Chan takes Hye Na to the school where the job is. She is asked to paint a wall. A simple enough task.
Dong Chan disappears and when he returns he finds Hye Na has started painting trees, plants and animals on the wall.
Not sure what to make of it he asks what she did and she explains it seemed the right thing to do and that the children would like it. Dong Chan seems to agree and begins helping. After a while they get some of the young children to help by having their hands painted and leaving their mark on the wall.
When they are done Hye Na happily counts her money, until Dong Chan steals it off her and runs away laughing :P



Eui Joo meets up with Tae Yoon to prompt him to take action with Hye Na if he doesn't want to lose her to Dong Chan. Tae Yoon admits he is happy to give up but Eui Joo plays the disappointed card, saying she thought his love was real but it obviously wasn't if he only tried that hard.

Dong Chan reports to Grandpa Kang about Hye Na's progress with the online mall and the part time job she did.
Grandpa Kang admits that he is happy with Hye Na and ready to accept her back... not good for Hye Na and Dong Chan's relationship :(

Whilst Dong Chan is with Grandpa Kang, Hye Na finally bumps into Tae Yoon. Hye Na tries to explain the situation, but after his talk with Eui Joo, Tae Yoon admits that he is not ready to give up yet and leaves.

Dong Chan and Hye Na meet up again and are caught on camera unbeknownst to them by someone spying on them.
The pair go shopping together before they end up by the riverside with a cake to celebrate Hye Na's success at work. She gives Dong Chan a gift and asks him to always stay by her side. Dong Chan obviously wants to say yes but is also unsure of their future, especially now Hye Na is allowed to return home.
As they leave and walk along the river, Dong Chan tells her the truth that her Grandpa is willing to take her back. Hye Na wonders where that leaves them and asks if he'll come with her. He tells her he will and kisses her on the forehead sweetly.



Hye Na leaves the next morning in the clothes that were passed to her by Maid Jung (through Dong Chan) she thanks Eui Joo and her Ma and promises to repay them then leaves with Dong Chan.
Whilst Hye Na is preparing to go into the meeting, Director Kang is somewhere else receiving secretly taken photos of Hye Na and Dong Chan together by his spy.



Hye Na tells the board of her success with the online mall, however the meeting is soon interrupted by the late arrival of Director Kang and his sheep.
When Grandpa Kang asks what the meaning of the interruption is, Director Kang explains that Hye Na has once again disgraced the company.
Obviously everyone is confused. Director Kang throws the envelope on the table. President Kang pulls out a copy of the next day's newspaper on the front it tells of Hye Na being Conned into a relationship by a Gigolo working for her and has pictures of Hye Na and Dong Chan together.
When Hye Na finds out what is going on, she runs out of the boardroom to find Dong Chan.
Director Kang smiles triumphantly, whilst President Kang looks as if he might have a heart attack :S

Hye Na runs down the stairs to find a smiling Dong Chan, his smile fades when he sees her face. He asks what is wrong, she tells him to run away with her and the pair run...

End of Episode :ooo

Nyooooo how can they do that!?!?!?! XD



Ok so 13 is over and a tidal wave is headed Hye Na and Dong Chan's way.

So let's be honest Grandpa's reaction was 100% expected :P How many Korean dramas have people seen where the parents/guardians have been happy with the future husband/ wife prospect? ^^;;;; it would be nice to see them just happy for a change rather than having to go through all the angst XD

Anyway things were relatively calm for most of the episode, it was only at the end when thinks started to kick off. Still it was a nice episode for Hye Na and Dong Chan moments, plenty of cuteness.

I realise when I am blogging and I see pictures from old episodes how much this show has changed and what a different feel it has now. I still love the show but I miss how it used to feel in the early episodes... I think the main reason was for Hye Na's personality change, she went from being feisty and arrogant to being dependent and kind. The kindness is expected for a drama like this, though maybe not so much of a dramatic change(?) the dependency seems very unatural on the other hand. I suppose it was brought in to prompt more cute moments. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing but I do like sop ^^; I do miss her feisty, fiery personality though it was a lot of fun.

Not a bad episode, it wasn't AS choppy as the last one, but again there were scenes that maybe should have been added and maybe scenes that should have been removed(?) Dong Chan getting sick was completely unecessary and a waste, it only lasted for about 30 seconds of drama and didn't lead to anything apart from Hye Na falling asleep again. It was only Dong Chan that was sick... surely she should have been working and not sleeping :P if they had played it out and shown us a proper scene of her caring for him and made it sweet it would have worked, but it just seemed a waste really :(

Gosh I sound so negative writing this >< I really don't mean to be I do really enjoy the series believe it or not ^^; I just like to state the things that I would have maybe liked to have seen done better so it would have been perfect :) again it may be a timing issue... :(

Anyway overall lots of sweetness... though Eui Joo's character was a little contradictory in this episode and Tae Yoon was completely fickle and disappointed me.
Eui Joo was telling Dong Chan she was happy for him one moment and the next prompting Tae Yoon to make his move encouraging him to break Hye Na and Dong Chan apart.
Tae Yoon was weak, when he seemed adamant that he was going to do the mature thing and let go he seemed cool and I respected him, but when he caved after Eui Joo played the disappointed card I was disappointed in him. His holding onto Hye Na just makes him seem desperate and lame... sorry Tae Yoon, you should have stuck to your guns and let go with pride, that would have made you cool in my book.

Oh and I like Tae Yoon and Eui Joo cuteness even if their characters are gray at times... they are so adorable together and they fit so well ^0^ they should totally hook up! XD

Aja Aja!
