Uncontrollably Fond - Episode 10 Summary

I cried so hard towards the end of this episode and I, myself, don't know the exact reasons for me crying. It's just I feel so sad watching my main OTP have to go through much hardship and I am sad enough to see how hard JY has to struggle against his illness. OMG, this melodrama is sure one of the dramas you have to watch if you want a good cry!


So JY, as a boyfriend material, he looks for Eul whom he heard she comes to the K-Pop Festival and he sees her with Choi Hyun Joon, his biological Dad and Haru. HJ gives Eul KRW 100,000 to compensate the loss she get because of the kitten without apologizing first and JY grabs the money and throws right in front of him, saying that instead of giving money first, he should admit the mistakes and apologize first.


HJ seems so angry that he states the fact how manneless JY is, for him to interrupt them and asks whether JY's parent taught him to have that kind of attitude. HJ then mentions to JY how disappointed he is for keeping the law book for him, yet JY has changed so much and he can't believe what kind of attitude which makes him as a famous top stars when he doesn't even have manners. HJ then leaves with Haru.


JY tells Eul not to pick up the money and just let it be but Eul takes the money and tells JY to just mind his own business. Because of that, JY leaves her to attend the ceremony awards.


JY comes back and finds out that his Mom will not come to the ceremony. With much tension, JY calls her with GY's phone and asks what he did wrong that he deserves that kind of attitude from his own Mom? He asks her too whether being success to be an artist is a sin? JY also states how she hated her for not being a prosecutor instead a Hallyu Star, how many times JY has told her that he believes a prosecutors have to tell things honestly, reveal only the truth and protect the weak one.


He again tells her, if a person like him becomes a prosecutor, the weak and poor people like his Mom won't be able to live in this world and justify himself to have no qualification to be a prosecutor.  His mom is stunned by that confession of him and left speechless. OMG, this is heartbreaking, JY T___T


No Eul heads straight to her car, unable to even get her head on straight to work. She doesn’t even pick up the phone when Joon Young calls her. At the same time, Hyun Joon sends his wife and Haru home as Eun Soo really isn’t feeling well. (I bet the stress of potentially seeing Joon Young face to face is stressful for her.) He has to stay behind to save some face with his colleagues. He totally misses seeing Young Ok walking right past in her nice outfit, leaving the festival after being rejected by her son.


Once Haru and Eun Soo leave in their car, Hyun Joon picks up a call from another assemblyman outside. Someone honks behind No Eul, and she sees an opportunity in front of her: Hyun Joon near the road, not paying attention to his surroundings. She flashes back to when her father proudly treated her to Chinese food for rising up to 59th place in class when she used to be 138th, and when No Jik outed her as white-outing the “1” from “159.” She then flashes back to the night her father was killed, and how the police said that Hyun Joon’s involvement changed the entire testimony and direction of the case.

Honestly, it was the longest flashback ever and all I could think about was the car behind her, waiting to pass.


No Eul starts driving, and slowly aims towards Hyun Joon. Joon Young sees what she’s doing as he exits the hall and pushes Hyun Joon out of the way. No Eul swerves and slams into a pillar, narrowly avoiding Joon Young. The car crashes with a terrible crunch, and she’s knocked out, bleeding in the head. (She got herself into a car accident again!)



Joon Young gets up, spraining his shoulder, but doesn’t bother to wait to hear Hyun Joon thanking him for saving his life. (Not like that prideful prosecutor would anyways…)


He carries No Eul to the hospital and screams for help, but all the nurses and doctors are rendered useless at the sight of a world-famous star. What kind of hospital is this?!


Hyun Joon wonders why No Eul would have gunned for him, as he really doesn’t remember her, but he doesn’t want to press charges. He wants it written off as just a driving misdemeanor. Eun Soo hears though, and she’s not too grateful that Joon Young saved her husband’s life. It doesn’t help that Haru just keeps singing Joon Young’s songs because she’s heartbroken over how her father scolded Joon Young. Ugh I want to kill off this character…


Ji Tae also hears of the accident and he heads to the hospital to see Joon Young, all dressed up. He introduces himself as Hyun Joon’s son and a section chief of KJ Group, and that because of his true identity he gave up on No Eul. Joon Young replies: “So what?”



He doesn’t care who Ji Tae is, or why his family should make him give up on No Eul. Joon Young heads out to visit No Eul’s room, where she’s sedated, and apologizes to her for leaving her alone after that fight with Hyun Joon and Haru.


A week passes, and No Eul’s healed better. She hasn’t told No Jik though, who thinks that she’s still working in the editing room. No Jik meets with Haru to get his kitten back, but she shamefully admits to losing it. UGH THIS WOMAN. He grabs her while she’s on the swings and she’s nearly thrown off by how close they are to kissing – and how cute he is. That’s when No Jik lets go of the swing and she falls to the ground. Yeah! Don’t like her! This irresponsible silly girl!


It turns out Joon Young wants him and No Eul to go on a month-long trip together where they can just ignore the rest of the world and hide together. And surprisingly, No Eul is actually quite receptive to the idea. She washes off the hospital grime while Joon Young packs the bags, buying her underwear, pajamas, and matching jackets for them while disguised under an oversized scar. When he arrives at her room, he’s relieved to see that she hasn’t run away, but was in the bathroom applying some makeup.


No Eul wishes that they could hide away for a year, and Joon Young is game even though he knows he won’t be alive that long. This time she asks for the kiss, and he gives her one so deeply.


They head to the parking lot where Joon Young goes to retrieve the car.



But that’s when his headache attacks and he falls, crippled momentarily and losing his vision.


At the same time, a couple of detectives come to arrest No Eul for attempted murder of Hyun Joon. It was totally because of Eun Soo – and when Ji Tae hears of it he accuses his mother of putting her in jail out of revenge. Haven’t they caused enough grief upon her family?


His mother apparently also sued her for defamation when No Eul dug up evidence of KJ Group’s slush fund (which was true), thus completely ruining her finances. Thankfully Hyun Joon overhears this argument between Ji Tae and Eun Soo when he returns home, and that’s when he finally remembers who No Eul is exactly. It remains to be seen what he’s going to do about it, but I have a funny feeling he won’t be such a good dad for long…


Joon Young meanwhile couldn’t stop No Eul from getting arrested because of his crippling disease. But he manages to get home and call up his lawyer to try and get No Eul out. The lawyer’s hands are tied though as CEO Namgoong won’t let him get involved in No Eul’s affairs anymore. On top of that, Joon Young is under lockdown in his room, not allowed to leave or see No Eul at all.


Jung Eun makes a dinner for her father, who praises her cooking skills and wishes that he wasn’t marrying her off to someone as “second-rate” as Ji Tae. She asks if her father knows what happened to the man she hit all those years ago, and Chairman Yoon says he died. “That’s a relief,” Jung Eun replies. “I heard he was in a coma. If he was in a coma all these years it would have been very hard on the family.” Such cold-hearted compassion. And she moves on to commenting about the good wine as if they were just talking about the weather.


As No Eul spends the night in a cold cell, giving her clothes to another older woman suffering beside her, she sees her father’s vision before her. He scolds her for not taking care of herself.


And guilt washes over her as she confesses to accepting Choi Hyun Joon’s money and settling out of court so that she could have the surgery to live and be with No Jik. She admits to trying to forget her father and moving on, feeling that she accepted blood money, but her ghostly father just hugs her and tries to comfort her.


Meanwhile, No Jik pleads outside of Joon Young’s door for his help. He can only think of Joon Young as someone rich and powerful enough to save his sister.


Unfortunately Joon Young can’t answer the door from his room, and his headache keeps coming and going. It gets to the point where Joon Young calls up his mother – and Jung Sik picks up. Good thing it was Jung Sik, because only his uncle will hear him out.


Jung Sik’s voice grows increasingly worried for Joon Young’s condition, which means it’s serious enough to spur Young Ok into action.




Then both of them head over to his house immediately and Young Ok caresses her son’s clammy cheek. It’s hard to describe just how relieved he seems to see his mother finally at his side. She wants to take him to the hospital immediately, but he wants to go to No Eul first. He has to see her.


Personal Thoughts:

I cried so much on this episode, thinking why it is so hard for both JY and Eul's life and I still couldn't believe the character growth on this episode is huge. We now see hateful Ji Tae's mother and the reason why Ji Tae hide his identity and helps Eul to fight with her life. My heart sank when Ji Tae said until when both of his parents going to screw up Eul's life? The good thing is that, Hyun Joon happens to hear the conversation.

I also think that both Suzy and Kim Woo Bin's acting on this episode is far way awesome. They both make me cry, for Eul's longing to her father, her conversation with her father about accepting the money to settle down because she is firmed enough to forget about what happened to her Dad, yet why it turns out to be this hard. Meanwhile Woo Bin as Shin Joon Young makes me feel sad for his illness and sickness and his acting is daebak. He is sure a true actor:D
