Uncontrollably Fond - Episode 13 Summary

How cute Suzy is! I really really like Suzy now. She's beautiful, innocently cute, super pretty and adorable. How could Kim Woo Bin not falling for her? Shin Joon Young must be so smart to fall for Eul. Even though she is a big name artist, I never know that she would even willingly potray a dirty woman and although she is just like a normal human being with that kind of fashion, Suzy still rocks with her own natural beauty. 

Episode 13 starts with a flashback of Shin Joon Young who happens to know the real culprit of Noh Jang Soo's (Noh Eul's father) accident. The real culprit is a woman, Yoon Jung Eun, age 30, drives a red sport car which was discard after the accident. He then follows her on the bar, while stalking on her social media. Knowing that she's been living a beautiful life for the past five years. As she is the only daughter of Yoon's family, she was moved to Hawai after the accident took place. In her social media, she said, "A new beginning, let's forget about everything..."

Meanwhile JY's thought shows how hard Eul was struggling through the rain to reveal the real criminal on her father's case. For the past five years, Eul is living in hell while the real culprit in living beautifully and achieving her dreams. (OMG, this scene is so good to show how strong the background story is, how contrast it is to even make JY to feel guilty about it again and swear to give back justice toward the girl he likes)

As he follows her to the swimming pool, he sees her drowning herself and JY rushes to help her to stay alive because she still has many things to do for him and she cannot die without JY's permission! (Why he's so perfect in my eyes?! Eul, you should just believe in him! Ahh, I'm so sad to know how heartbreaking the story will be) 

The scene turns back to the day before the four of them meet at the resort. It is when JY agrees to play a character on the movie which he rejects before, saying he just changed his mind. Nam Director couldn't believe it, yet it's so Shin Joon Young style to do whatever he wants, saying let the movie director whether he wants to choose a small actor, or a big famous actor like JY. (Kim Woo Bin's so cool right here!! It's so Shin Joon Young's style ~).

GY asked him for what reasons JY wants to take the role. JY says it's because the team manager (Yoon Jung Eun) is beautiful. GY then states the fact that she is engaged and soon to get married. It's truly a no way for JY and states that the only son of KJ Group is the one whom Jung Eun is engaged, Choi Ji Tae. And that means, Jung Eun will be the daughter-in-law of Choi Hyun Joon (JY's biological father).

Ji Tae then asks Eul to be piggy-back because of her feet. Eul is hesitant yet Ji Tae says, they are at his resort, which means he has so many people who will look at him and it's a good chance for Eul to take on revenge. Eul agrees and Ji Tae piggybacks her to the hotel lobby where they meet with Jung Eun and JY who happens to approach her for the movie casting. Eul asks Ji Tae to let her down and Eul comes to JY rushly, saying it's been a while and calls his number in front of him.

Knowing that it rings, Eul says she thought JY changes his number. JY says he plans to but has not got time to do it. Eul then asks him why he ignores her call and avoids her. JY cannot give better answer other than "Just because.".

She has many things to say to him but JY says he doesn't want to take her call because he doesn't want to hear any of her reasons. JY then says his goodbye and leaves the place, leaving Eul to be speechless and she says she wants to go back to her room. 

Jung Eun looks at Ji Tae who's been looking at Eul. Ji Tae then turns his head to her, while saying he is sorry for making such decision. If he could decide earlier, he would not let Jung Eun be confused. Ji Tae then takes his leave and asks JY to have a drink with him. While both of them are in the cafe, Ji Tae pours the drink for JY. Once JY grabs the drink, Ji Tae holds him, stating the fact he forgets that JY cannot drink because he is ill. 

Then Ji Tae looks around, saying in English so nobody would understand, excatly saying the exact disease JY is suffering, "Brainstem Giloma. The tumour has spread too much to even difficult considering surgery. The expectancy life is most at two months." Ji Tae then says to JY that he should leave Eul and take care of himself, because he is the one who is going to take care of her. He then says again that JY is someone who will leave soon and to stop making Eul to be confused and it's better to end this way. (It's a very mixed feeling, somehow I agree, somehow I don't.) JY is shocked that Ji Tae knows about his secrets and left speechless. 

Eul also stops to pick up some soju, but she thinks better of it, knowing her tendency to get drunk and get in trouble. Instead she calls her work sunbae and invites them to go out, and they end up at a noraebang (karaoke). Eul is partying her heart out, while he looks frankly terrified. He eventually gets into it, and they dance and sing the night away. (I'm so proud of Suzy for making herself looks so terrible and yet she's still cute in her own way. She really has charms. Even in tracking suit, she still manages to look so beautiful)

Eul then sees JY's stylish, Man Ok, at the karaoke being harassed by a group of men, and though she tries to ignore them, she can’t help but get involved when Man Ok starts to sound genuinely frightened. Eul runs at them, screaming and brandishing her shoe like a mighty battle sword.

JY calls GY and all you can hear in the background is Eul’s screeching. It’s an all-out brawl over at the noraebang, with Eul and Man Ok holding the upper hand and GY backing them up. JY shows up and yells HEY!!, and they all leave off fighting.

It’s a struggle, but JY ignores Eul, and just calls GY and Man Ok outside. Eul follows him out anyway and explains that the men started it, and GY was only helping. JY acts like he doesn’t care, but when Eul says she got hurt and shows him her battle wounds, his eyelids flicker just a bit. 

She sees him caving and really plays up her injuries, though she can’t decide which rib she thinks is broken, hee. But Joon-young can’t help but remember Ji-tae’s angry words that he has no right to her, so he just asks an employee of the building to take her to the hospital.

Ji Tae wakes the next morning in his hotel room with a wicked hangover, and realizes that Jung Eun is in the room with him. He’s furious, but she’s there on behalf of his mother, and she calls Mom to report that he’s awake and hands him the phone. His mom tells Ji Tae that she’s replaced him as investment team leader and director with Jung-eun, and asks him to stay on the team to support her. He easily agrees, which seems to displease his mother, so she tells him to get out of the hotel room — it’s not for regular employees. 

That doesn’t get the response she wants either, so she starts to fuss at him for his drinking. Ji Tae interrupts, dropping the cheerfully polite tone, and tells her that she can do whatever she wants with him so long as she doesn’t touch Eul or anyone around her, which includes, her brother and friends. He says this staring straight at Jung Eun, the message clearly for her as well, and he promises that he won’t let it go if anything happens to Eul. He leaves her with the reminder of which “card” he’s holding — a veiled threat to out her manipulations to his father. Ji Tae hangs up on his mother and hands the phone back to Jung Eun, congratulating her sarcastically on her promotion. Jung Eun just says that she’ll wait until he comes back to her, promising to resign when he does, but Ji Tae swears that will never happen.

JY goes for a morning jog, looking as healthy as a horse, until he trips over his own feet and goes sprawling. He jumps back up all right, but then has trouble picking up his dropped water bottle. He looks at his hand as if it’s an alien thing, and recalls how his doctor said that he’d start to struggle soon with even simple motor functions.

Eul has a nice shiner after her fight the night before and rubs an egg gently over the bruise up in her hotel bathroom. She thinks about JY’s refusal to help her last night and gets angry, and accidentally cracks the egg on her face, Then she slurps up the raw egg, ick, and calls downstairs for another egg.

She goes for a walk and runs into JY sitting at the beach, watching the waves shift in and out of focus. He closes his eyes, and opens them to find Eul standing right in front of him, and she pretends she’s looking for some dropped money. She accuses him of hiding her money in his shoes and orders him to take them off, but when he stands to leave she grabs his hand and stops him. She says that she can’t believe what people say, that he’s avoiding her because he’s afraid that she’ll have a bad influence on his reputation. She knows him too well to think that he’d run away from something like that. But JY twists his hand away and says that she doesn’t know him.

She stands, insisting that she does know him, that she knows everything. She even knows what he’s thinking right now — that he missed her. She’s right, but JY says that things must be really simple for her, imagining everything in her favor.

Eul ignores him and says that she misses him, too, very very much. She takes his hand again and says she’ll see him later, and every day from now on.

She gives JY a sweet smile, and leaves him looking a little broken.

After running into Assemblyman Choi outside JY’s house, JY’s mother is so distracted that she’s serving people things they didn’t order, and Ajusshi is so worried about her that he’s not doing much better. He gently helps her not over-season the food, which she barely even notices. She’s thinking about how she and Assemblyman Choi went for tea to talk, and they’d both been painfully nervous. After several minutes of awkwardness, Assemblyman Choi had asked Mom why she’d been at Shin Joon Young’s home, and whether she ever got married. She’d been saved from answering by Ajusshi, whom she’d called over, and she’d yanked him down to sit and announced that he’s her husband.

Assemblyman Choi’s face had fallen as he’d watched Mom and Ajusshi holding hands. Mom had said that Ajusshi is JY’s father, and that they live apart because he didn’t approve of JY becoming an actor. She asked in turn why Assemblyman Choi was at JY’s house, and he’d just stammered that JY had saved his life.

Haru takes out all of Jik’s friends for a meal in order to pump them for information on him. Jik finds them and accuses Haru of stalking him, but she’s more interested in the fact that his school nametag says “Noh Jik,” when he’d told her his name is “Oh Jik.” She figures that makes Eul his sister, and Jik warns his friends not to tell her anything about him.

He tries to pay for their food, but Haru objects, and Jik’s friends all chant that they should date. Jik is not amused, and when Haru tries to stop him from paying, he accidentally knocks her down and she bumps her head.

Next thing you know, they’re at the sunglasses store where Na Ri works, after seeing a doctor for Haru’s sudden amnesia. HAHAHA, really? That’s hilarious. Jik doesn’t know what to do since she doesn’t know who she is or where she lives, and he can’t find her phone to call her family.

Na Ri asks Haru a few questions, and based on the answers (“What’s the capital of South Korea?” “San Francisco!”) she decides that Haru is pretending in order to stay near Jik. Jik wonders why she’d go to these lengths for him when she must be very popular, being so cute and all. He takes a book out of Haru’s bag which he finds filled with information about him, but ha, it’s all incorrect. He tells Haru to just ask him if she wants to know something, and Haru smiles happily, forgetting her amnesia ruse.

Eul forgot to dry the one pretty dress she bought, so she’s forced to go to Yoon Hoo’s shoot today dressed in her stained old sweats. Yoon Hoo is not pleased at her sloppy appearance, and JY arrives on set to find Yoon Hoo bellowing at Eul for showing up looking like this. Yoon Hoo whips off Eul’s sunglasses, revealing her black eye, and that just makes the finicky actor even angrier. As it turns out, the men Eul was fighting at the noraebang were on YH’s staff, and GY hollers that they’re the ones who gave her the black eye in the first place.

Eul’s sunbae tries to smooth things over, but Yoon Hoo tells Eul to leave. He screams again that he can smell the kimchi on her clothing, but JY just stands there, doing nothing to help. Not that Eul needs it, because she looks Yoon Hoo straight in the eye and says that she just needs to film well — what does it matter how she’s dressed? She says that this happens when people work hard, and there’s no shame in being dirty from work. 

Yoon Hoo keeps insisting that Eul leave, and grumbles that this must be why JY fired her. He calls over to JY that he should have told him that Eul was nuts, and JY’s hand curls into a fist. But he keeps his voice pleasant as he says that he didn’t know Eul was working for Yoon Hoo, or he would have warned him. Yoon Hoo turns back to Eul, and vows to make sure she never works in the entertainment industry again. Eul just picks up her bag and walks away, not even sparing JY a glance as she goes.

Ji Tae spots Eul in the hotel lobby, and she apologizes for getting fired when he worked so hard to get her this job. He takes her for coffee and Eul says that she heard he got fired too, in favor of Jung Eun. He tells her that Jung Eun was almost his fiancee, but that he called it off for her.

Steeling himself, Ji Tae asks if Eul really likes JY that much when she always ends up hurt. She turns the question around on him, reminding him that he called off an engagement just to get hurt. Ji Tae says that he’s just being smart, because she’ll come to him if he waits long enough. Eul says bluntly that it will never happen, referring to their positions in life, but Ji Tae says that you never know for sure. He brightens and offers to take her back to Seoul, and go on a date.

GY is so angry with JY for letting Eul be treated that way that he quits his job as manager. In any case, GY is furious that JY didn’t defend Eul, and he swears he can’t work with him anymore. 

Filming begins on the movie, and they start with a scene where Yoon Hoo’s character holds a gun on JY’s character. JY invites Yoon Hoo to shoot, even nudging the gun with his head, and Yoon Hoo throws down the gun. He grabs JY’s lapels and tells him to name everyone he killed, then he can die.

Suddenly JY slips out of character and kicks Yoon Hoo to the ground, then kneels above him to deliver punch after punch, a wild glint in his eye. JY gets in several hits, rendering Yoon Hoo unconscious before the director stops things.

Shooting is canceled, and JY swears to Jung Eun that he thought it was in the script to hit Yoon Hoo, and that he’ll accept it if Yoon Hoo decides to sue him. Jung Eun suggests that JY apologize before the reporters find out, but he says that once Yoon Hoo broke his nose in a similar situation and he didn’t apologize. He’d just said that these things happen when actors get carried away. JY suggests they just call this thing off, but this is Jung Eun’s first project and she cares that it goes well. Something about that changes JY’s mind, and he asks which hospital Yoon Hoo is being treated in.

They visit Yoon Hoo and JY easily apologizes, but Yoon Hoo isn’t interested in accepting his apology. Jung Eun reminds Yoon Hoo that he did something similar once, but Yoon Hoo is sure that this wasn’t a mistake as JY claims. JY is all wide-eyed innocence — why would he do such a thing on purpose? Yoon Hoo orders him to kneel if he wants forgiveness, which offends Jung Eun, and she offers to kneel instead. But JY grabs her arm and keeps her standing, and he kneels and bows his head. He apologizes with a great big grin, and Yoon Hoo is forced to accept the apology. 

JY heads back to the hotel where he sees Eul waiting outside his door, and she asks almost hopefully if he hit Yoon Hoo because of her. JY tells her she’s making things up again, but she pushes her way into his room behind him and says that she knows that he did.

She asks why he pretends he doesn’t care about her, and follows him into his bedroom. He doesn’t answer, but just says that he’s tired and going to sleep.

Eul tells JY to act however he wants towards her — it won’t hurt her. JY just grabs her by the shoulders and pushes her onto the bed, landing on top of her. In a soft voice, he asks, “Do you want to sleep with me?” He slowly starts to unzip her top, and murmurs for her to speak now if this isn’t what she wants.

Eul doesn’t say a word.

Personal Thoughts:

Okay, I need a break. It's hard to say something about this episode. Because everything is being planned perfectly without having too much scene on anyone. The plot revealing story is good enough and I feel heavy for seeing JY's face.

It's a mixed feeling as I said before, but right from this point I think I am falling for Choi Ji Tae yet I hate him so much for hurting both Eul and specially JY. How mean it is for him to tell JY directly on his face and he should leave Eul and take care of himself since he cannot take any responsibility for her as he is someone who is leaving soon. JY has already pulled back from Eul, struggling enough to ignore his feelings, his love and also Eul's adorableness, knowing he is someone who plays part in making Eul's life to be miserable, yet does it necessary for him to be told he is dying soon? He knows he is dying and would eventually lost the woman he loves, yet it was really mean of Ji Tae to say such a thing, since he's done nothing for Eul up to this point other than break her heart. How dare he accuse JY of confusing her, when he’s been doing it for YEARS??

Now, it breaks my heart to see how JY is treating Eul. I mean, how much can a girl take throwing off her pride to declare her love. She really won JY's heart today with that speech at the beach. Even I almost break into tears hearing how Eul says she will see him later, today, tomorrow, the next day and the day after and forever. JY knows he cannot take responsibility for her and plus his mission to free Eul from her misery. But the thing is, there is a fine line in hurting a girl in order to love her. At what point is it loving and at what point is it hurting? Even as Eul finds out the truth eventually, how does it help her if she was freed from her past but she had to live with the regrets of not being able to love him till his dying day? I am now almost hoping that NE will call JY bluff since she said she knows him well and say to him: "Yes, I will sleep with you". But the tears in her eyes looks like she's going to be so hurt by it which is going to painful to watch the next few episodes.

It's hard to say that what JY has done is wrong since it's the guilt he cannot forget. "I cannot be with the girl I love because of what my father's doing." is simply a mainstream but think about it, look at how Eul is sure enough about things are not going to happen with Ji Tae because he is the son of Choi Hyun Joon? Then it proves that whatever JY is being afraid of, is possible to happen. Although I am sure that Eul is going to be understanding enough since she already falls for JY too deeply. Btw, I hate Ji Tae for saying he will wait for Eul because the future is not known, meanwhile he knows that JY is dying soon. He is so mean for saying things like that! Does it mean Eul will be with him if that happens? I don't want. Seriously, but if Eul is going to be happy then I am all in.

I am proud of Eul too for standing up in every situations she is in and wht it is always a hard path for her to go through each day? I wish for a brigther future ahead for her, yet I forget, there is one thing about JY's dying which will break her heart again. Poor Eul. 

Kudos to Suzy and Kim Woo Bin, Im Joo Hwan is also so good at acting ~ They are doing good job!
