JY keeps saying that he is being serious and it is not a joke, but with his wide grin, it's really hard to tell whether he is being genuine (Even if it's me, I would also feel he makes a joke with the filming). But he says he is serious, he is dying and what else he can't do? OMG this feels so heavy, if Eul reminds back, she will cry so much I bet.
Rather than letting him toy with her, No Eul breaks into a wide smile and says of course she’d like to be his girlfriend. Who wouldn’t!? She can announce this everywhere on social media, right? But Joon Young’s smile fades – he knows that she’s just teasing.

After the shoot, Eul wallows in misery in her favorite restaurant. Ji Tae comes to ask what has happened to her and Eul tells him that she's been fired from the documentary.
She said JY made a joke to her and she takes it seriously, then she said it is actually not like that, more likely JY is serious about it and Eul makes a joke to him. Then she concludes once again that both of them are serious about it which makes Eul to be so miserable, being fired and changed to another PD for the documentary. Ji Tae says it's better to get fired from that documentary and he will help Eul to find a job. Eul says back to him, how could an unemployed can help her to find a job?

Ji Tae says it's better to get fired from that documentary and he will help Eul to find a job. Eul says back to him, how could an unemployed can help her to find a job?
She then imagines if Ji Tae has got a job one day, she will marry him because Ji Tae won't starve Eul and Jik. Eul tries to be charming and asks Ji Tae whether she can get a job as his wife. Ji Tae is taken aback, not because he opposes to it but he doesn't know how to react after hearing his dreams to come true. He doesn't even says any answer to Eul. Meanwhile, Eul expects him to say that it's too good to be true to have her as a wife and being silent like that means that he is so surprised. However, Eul then concludes that she has been rejected by Hyun Woo (Ji Tae's fake name). After Eul left, Ji Tae says that he doesn't mean to reject her. It's because he is not good enough for her and how could he dare to have her. OMG this must be related to his father's case.
After hearing that the documentary team has fired Eul, JY tells GY to tell the president, if he wants to continue with the contract, he wants Eul to be the PD, otherwise, he won't ever shoot a second documentary. Then he leaves the house to find Eul. He calls Eul's phone number and it's Ji Tae who picks her call because Eul leaves the phone at the restaurant. Ji Tae who picks her call ask who he is and tells him that there is no name on her phone, just a picture of a dog and a bird (which is a nickname given by Eul for JY). He then senses it is JY who is speaking and tells him if it is about documentary, please don't call Eul anymore because she has been fired. JY then asks who he is to be involved in his documentary. He suspects he is the one who is named 'Husband' by Eul.
Eul then returns to pick her phone and sees Ji Tae who is talking with someone on her phone. She then takes the call but JY hangs up. Ji Tae then asks her whether he is her so-what-called 'Husband' and Eul says he is, because he keeps taking care of her and Jik and feels like he is like the husband. Ji Tae then says that one day Eul will meet with the right nice and good guy. Eul feels like being rejected and humiliated by him and says she will never see him again and asks him not to pretend to be nice when he is about to reject her.

Eul then remembers JY called her and asks why he calls her and all of the her bad words for him just come out from her mouth. It's so funny to see her acts like she doesn't even care whether JY is a celebrity or not. Because of him, she gets fired. But then she wants to send a message to JY, saying she is sorry not to pick up his call and she is now reflecting back to her action for joking with him and asks him to tell the president to give her one more chance....then she deletes her message and saying why she should plead to him to give her a job. She can make a living even without him - that's what she thinks and she will do the documentary, get the double payment, become a permanent employee and that's all.
She then spots JY's car and looks for him. JY asks why a married woman now lives with Na Ri instead of her husband and her kids. She then says what kind of crazy guy will marry someone like her, she has no husband, no kids and because of a psycho like him, she loses her jobs. The reason why she is with Na Ri is because she has no money, no home and no pride that's why she is homeless, jobless and husbandless. LOLS she's so funny.
After hearing Eul's answer to his curiosity, JY smiles cheekily which makes him look so handsome OMG. Eul asks why he smiles like that and whether it sounds funny to him. She then leaves JY, saying she is crazy for trying to talk to him. A minute later, she receives a call from the documentary PD, saying that JY asks her to be the PD or else he won't do the documentary. She is very taken aback, looking back to JY who is sitting is his car. Meanwhile, JY leaves her.
The following morning, we watch Joon Young through the many CCTV cameras in his house as he gets up (sleeping on the floor rather than the bed), washes up (abs!), feeds his dog, and then changes to head out for the day (looking nice with the shades). It’s a big day – the day of his concert! As for No Eul, she lovingly feeds No Jik a leafy wrap with meat. She coddles her baby brother, even though he’s perfectly old enough to take care of himself, and suggests dropping everything and following him around. And surprisingly, he agrees! Eul can’t believe her brother actually took her bait, but it’s because he has a good reason: if she continues working on Shin Joon Young’s documentary she will get eaten alive by his fan base. Case in point: Haru, or the girl that he’s nicknamed “Jerk of All Jerks” on his phone. She’s threatening to sue him if he tricked her, and Eul answers her text: “What are you going to do with information regarding PD Noh Eul? Do your parents know you’re going around doing this kind of thing?” Yeah! Tsk tsk Haru!
Instead of preparing for her college exams (which she’s redoing after failing already), Haru is busy preparing fan-made goods for JY’s upcoming concert. So yeah, she really isn’t doing much with her life. She’s pretty pissed with No Eul’s response too (though she’s attributing it to Jik); who knows what crazy thing she’ll do next.
Jik is serious though – he doesn’t want his sister near JY. He knows enough what crazy fan girls could do, and doesn’t want her sister falling for JY again while working on the documentary. He knows his sister too well. Jik reminds her that they live in different worlds now, and she’ll definitely get hurt if they ever get together. The one who is more suitable for her is Hyun Woo Hyung (which is Ji Tae) who can give happiness to Eul. Eul then says, while seeing her brother leaving, that Hyun Woo has rejected her and she is now so embarrassed.
At Ji Tae’s home, we find him washing up and being quite giddy because he’s considered Eul’s “Hubby” of sorts. Just then his father calls him out Ji Tae goes home quite giddy, feeling warm that he’s considered Eul’s “hubby” of sorts.
His father then calls him out for a moment, which kills his mood. But it turns out the dad just wants a little friendly competition. If Choi Hyun Joon can knock off the two black Go stones from the board with his white one, he won’t have to give Ji Tae his prized autographed baseball. He aims, he shoots… he misses! It’s actually really sweet to watch Hyun Joon whine and refuse to give his son the baseball. It makes him a lovable father, when all I really want to do is hate him.
Haru returns home, tired from leaving early in the morning to prepare gifts for JY’s concert, and she begs her father to go to the concert with her. It would do wonders for his image! But Ji Tae snaps at her, telling her to study or do something more worthwhile than fawn over a celebrity. Haru and Hyun Joon are actually taken aback by Ji Tae’s harshness, even though Haru really needs to listen to those words. I mean, that girl just lives for Joon Young. Haru runs off, thinking her brother is acting weird all of a sudden. Hyun Joon actually finds himself liking JY more; this celebrity managed to make Ji Tae get angry, and Ji Tae never gets angry. The father is actually relieved his son has some emotions.
JY visits his mother outside her building to give her tickets to his concert. It’s the last time she could ever see him on stage. Young Ok shortly replies that she’s glad to hear of it, but rips his tickets to shreds. She really doesn’t approve of him being a celebrity, no matter what he says. She hates that he chose a different career path without talking to her about it. She hates that he’s so rich now, when he swore to be a prosecutor and protect people who were downtrodden and poor like they were. She really won’t see his concert, even if he dies. Way harsh, mom. JY then says what a bold woman his mom is who can even make him cries.
Eul heads over to the concert stadium with her camera and takes note of all his international fans that have come to watch him. She’s quite amazed at his appeal and smiles almost proudly at how well he’s done for himself. One person isn’t too happy though, and that’s Haru. And it’s all because her father won’t show up to the concert with her. Is she ten, or what? Suddenly a man wrapped up in a coat and scarf sits down next to Haru – it’s Hyun Joon! He kept his promise and even wore a sweater with JY’s face on it! What a great dad. He even humors her and Jung Ja with a photo op, but then as soon as the concert really gets going, he makes his exit. He has done enough of his job supporting his daughter.
It also turns out that Hyun Joon does remember JY as the bright potential law student. He just doesn’t act like he knows the kid very well. Hyun Joon good-naturedly though salutes JY’s banner for being successful in a different career path.
One person isn’t too pleased that he went to the concert though. (There’s always someone displeased!) And that is surprisingly his wife Eun Soo. When she learns that Hyun Joon went to JY’s concert (even though it was for Haru), she swipes a vase off the coffee table.
I guess… she knows about the secret birth of JY? Or else why she finds it so upsetting?
Eul is front and center by the stage, filming the entire concert for the documentary. JY sings a love song and looks right at her, so she can’t help but feel like he’s singing to her, about her. She takes a break for a sip of water to slow her fluttering heart, and when she resumes her duties JY visibly smiles onstage. Aw.
Young Ok is still working at the restaurant, refusing to go to the concert. But Jung Sik comes up to her and hands her the money that GY owed. He had come up with enough money to pay her back some time ago, but when he told GY to pay JY back, his stupid son decided to spend it all instead. So Jung Sik took a bit longer this time, getting his friend to pay him back money too and getting his house’s safety deposit back.
He wants the slate clean so that Young Ok will stop blaming his family for JY’s career path. But he also reminds her the order of events: Joon Young quit school first because of something. GY caused some trouble after that. Then JY decided to become a celebrity and paid back that debt for GY. So really, Young Ok can’t blame anyone else for JY’s choice in leaving law school.
After the first song, Eul joins JY and his entourage backstage as he gets ready for his next performance. She asks him a few questions about how he feels regarding his last concert, and if he has anything to say to his fans. JY doesn’t. All he wants to know is if the guy who picked up the phone last night was her boyfriend. He’s clearly being very belligerent on camera, so No Eul finally answers that Ji Tae is not her boyfriend because JY won’t answer any other question. That makes JY really happy.
He sings his second song, and the screen behind him reads the following: “The person I love is here today. That’s why I’m trying to muster my courage to tell you today.” Haru freaks out, thinking that it’s her. Ji Tae stands with the audience, having a good view of the stage and Eul filming JY. He can’t help himself but show up to see what could happen between JY and Eul.
Finally in the middle of the song, JY picks up a huge white teddy bear and gets off stage. He goes right up Eul, pulls off the camera from her hands, and takes her up onstage. The platform rises up, and he sings to her, giving her the bear.
It reminds her of the day he showed up in front of her school and gave her that same bear in front of everyone.
The audience is in shock, for how could be in love with someone not so glamorous? Haru is obviously angry, and what’s worse is an article comes out that identifies Eul and has all of her personal information online already. Plus there’s a picture with the article from JY and Eul’s high school days.
Eul never accepts the bear. In fact, she rejects him in front of everyone, which makes her the target of other concert goers’ ire. She tries to pretend that it was all for show, and he was kidding anyways, but not a single girl is happy with her.
Meanwhile JY is kinda depressed in his dressing room because his grand gesture failed. When he hears about the article on Eul, and how so many commenters are saying bad things about her, he does something new: he wants screenshots of all the comments and to have all those slanderers reported to the police. After avoiding doing that for so long because of his mother, he doesn’t care anymore. Mean comments about himself are one thing, but mean comments about Eul are unacceptable.
Eul is greeted outside of the bathroom by a reporter, who wants a scoop on her relationship with Joon Young. The reporter also breaks the news to Eul about the article on her, much to her chagrin. Thankfully Ji Tae arrives to save the day, dressed completely in black. He blocks the camera, saying that the reporters don’t have a right to bother Eul like this, and then grabs her hand to lead her away.
Eul is quite thankful, and possibly impressed by Ji Tae’s less-shabby appearance. But it’s short-lived. When they reach the outside of the stadium, JY is standing out there, completely covered up so no one can recognize him. JY smiles and tries to grab her hand; he doesn’t care if Ji Tae is her “husband,” because he knows it’s not for real and he wants Eul for himself. But Ji Tae warns him that the reporter and her cameraman are still behind them, filming. Does he really want to do this right now?
JY doesn’t care. Everyone knows him already, so it doesn’t matter what he does. But Ji Tae’s secrets can be dug up real quick if anyone catches him on camera. Just then a swarm of reporters and fans surround them, taking pictures frantically. It’s the moment! The moment between the first and second male leads! Who will win!?
And Ji Tae slowly lets go of Eul’s hand, and shields his face with the brim of his cap. He really can’t let anyone know who he is, for if his identity gets out, Eul will also view him as a liar. So JY takes the opportunity to grab Eul’s hand and lead her away from the throng.
Personal thoughts:
I’m really impressed that for a slow moving episode, we get such nice character and relationship development. We only progress about a day in the show, but we see the relationship development on how Jik really loves Eul, his sister. How Ji Tae really treasures his relationship with Eul. How childish Haru is for liking JY all the way till he is the most important person in her life. I do wonder what will happen to her after knowing that JY is actually her half-brother.
We also see why and how harsh JY's Mom is for hating her son after being treated not like a mother. Although she may be too harsh on him, but she gets a point. As a parent, of course she needs to know the reason why her son quits law school so sudden but JY never tells her and decided to quit by himself. It's true that he says the reason, that if a person like him becomes a prosecutor, the poor and in need of people will not be able to live in this world, but that reason itself doesn't make his mom to understand the truth behind his thought exactly. But, it's way too harsh mom, you are hurting your own son and my JY!!
For Ji Tae, I know he is a good man for protecting Eul, but when things are hard like that, I guess it's really a hard decision too for him to pursue Eul. But I wish he could be stronger enough to protect her, rather than leaving her hands like that. I'm really curious as whether JY knows who Ji Tae is because Ji Tae knows who JY is.
I'm frustrated with JY and feels his sadness. It's really touching and good to see how JY's character development in this one episode. How he is really being serious with Eul. Although his way may seems like a joke, but he is serious. How he keeps asking Eul for her status, her boyfriend and things like that. Even with a small gesture of his eyes trying to locate Eul in his concert really seems like a big move for me and from a drama perspective that kind of gesture and scene really marks the strong feeling of the male lead. OMG, I'm dying here because Kim Woo Bin is really awesome in acting and also singing.
For him to ask his mom to attend his last concert and that might be his mom last chance to see his concert, that kind of talk somehow feels so heavy for me. Why doesn't he just tell his mom that he is sick and only how many months left to live? OMG, this is gonna be the pain in the ass and I really wanna cry for him. He is also being sarcastic for saying he is gonna die soon, so what he can't do? He states the fact anyway, not just a joke. I bet if Eul and his mom reminds back, they will really regret it. The good thing is that, because of his disease, he starts to pursue his happiness, at least he doesn't even care anymore for anything and really wants to pursue the one he loves, Eul. Although as of now, Eul doesn't know nor have any idea whether JY is only joking with her or being sincere, but I can guess she is going to fall deeply towards him and this is gonna be a tragic melodrama and I just can't bear to see how both of my fave lead to falls down with crying scene. I want them to be happy omg, with the hurt given to JY by his mom, I really wish for his happiness at least for a moment.
So much love and cheering deep down from my heart for this drama, very good plot, although melodrama seems like a very usual one like we used to see, but every story line is different and the thing you have to see is not how it ends but how it goes. Good storyline, good episodes. Only by one more episodes, we get to know much more than we have imagined. Much development to the character and I'm really rooting for Uncontrollably Fond to win against W. Though I haven't watched episode 1 of W haha but seeing how the story line for episode 5, I can confidently say that they deserves a good rating for this episodes. Good drama is always determined from the first up to the sixth episode and I'm sure this is gonna be a hit, at least for Suzy and Kim Woo Bin's career path.
