Since Jae-kyung won the bet, she drags Jun-pyo out on a grocery shopping run. Coming from him, that’s got to be pretty lowering. She excuses herself and leaves, and Dad tells Yi-jung that he went too far. Ga-eul is really uncomfortable by now, but Yi-jung’s on a roll and he continues with the verbal jabs, saying Ga-eul is practically the same age as his father’s girlfriends anyway.įed up, Ga-eul throws water in Yi-jung’s face. Dad suggests discussing family matters later, while Yi-jung’s smile twists further as he asks, “Then what should we talk about? This girl seems your type - want to borrow her?” He says caustically that father and son are similar - Mom’s lying in the hospital from an overdose and they’re both out. Personally, I don’t think his dad means to be skeevy when he calls Ga-eul cute, but Yi-jung turns everything into an innuendo. Yi-jung points out that it’s clear his father likes Ga-eul (insinuating that he like-likes her, if ya know what I mean). Or maybe he really means “lowlight.” At dinner, Yi-jung’s father is friendly and open, but the more pleasant he is, the uglier Yi-jung’s mood grows. She’s gotten the message, but Yi-jung still has one “highlight” left.
She decides to leave, not seeing Yi-jung until he calls out to her, “If this is enough to send you running, you shouldn’t have asked for the date in the first place.” Ga-eul steps out to the ladies’ room, and hesitates for a long moment over whether to return to the table. He’s not even being subtle about it, and Ga-eul is naive enough to take his behavior at face value, when it’s clear (to us) that he’s doing this make a point. He’s in a self-destructive mood, so he seeks out Ga-eul and asks if she still wants that date.Įncouraged, Ga-eul accompanies Yi-jung to a club, but her gladness soon dies because Yi-jung gets busy flirting with every woman who passes. As he heads out, he shakes off Woo-bin’s arm and says, “If you don’t want to see me going crazy, leave me alone.” (Rule of Kdramas: Bad news brings instant sobriety!) His mother has had another “episode” - a tantrum and pills - and has been asking for him at the hospital.Īs in the previous episode, Yi-jung’s attitude is mostly detached, with a sprinkling of bitterness, so he answers that he’s busy. He’s unresponsive to Woo-bin’s worrying, though a phone call does jar him out of his liquor haze.
Woo-bin tries to talk some sense into Yi-jung, who is hell-bent on drinking himself into oblivion. She claims her winnings by dragging Jun-pyo around for the day. Her proposal for a bet turns out to be a video game challenge, which she manages to win, bringing out his surly sore-loser side.

The title literally translates to “making a lover” but frankly that makes no sense in English I think it’s more prettily (if loosely) translated as “Finding a Lover” or “Building a Romance.” Īudio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.
No, they’re not the same songs, but a couple of them sound familiar.)īoys Before Flowers (Second OST) – “애인만들기” by SS501. (Although, I admit to having a few moments of wondering whether PD Jeon just recently saw Goong and is trying to recapture the ambiance of that score. It’s more a matter of not having had the songs hammered into our brains relentlessly (yet?), so they feel fresher and more interesting to my ears. I don’t actually think the new songs in this second half are any better than the songs in the first half (and they’re just as inappropriately used). 317 MaJanuBoys Before Flowers: Episode 19 by javabeans
