Uncontrollably Fond - Episode 11 Summary

Been waiting for this episode to get a better picture on how the Romeo and Juliet story will end up and I am going to say that Episode 11 reveals a lot of secrets and it's moving quite slow to gain a higher rating. AGB only states 7.9% for Uncontrollably Fond Epsiode 11, meanwhile 13.9% for W: Two World Episode 7. But Uncontrollably Fond sure makes us feels a variety of emotions. 

JY's Mom comes to JY's house and finds him lying on the floor, getting sick without much energy left. JY asks him Mom to help him so that he can meet with Eul while crying. He says he has to go to Eul right now. JY's Mom says he cannot go anywhere while being sick like that and she's going to bring medicine to him.

Being frustrated for too long, JY finally speaks up, "If Mom didn't leave Choi Hyun Joon at that time, he would never become a horrible person. If Mom had courage to stay with him, he would never fall into corruption. It's all because of your fault, Mom. It's Mom's fault!" JY's Mom leaves him without saying anything, instead she is shocked to the fact which JY has said just now. 

Meanwhile, on the cell, Eul is dreaming, she thought JY was coming for her and with his gentle smile, JY comforted her.

Eul explained to JY that she didn't intend to kill Choi Hyun Joon because she actually wants to forget everything and settles down.

JY smiled to her, saying he knew about it and asked her to leave with him for the vacation they had promised to come back after being together for 100 years.

JY then brought her to the beach, with a romantic high-tea table set for them. JY then hugged her and said to her to live somewhere noone can find them and Eul agreed with that. Sadly, it's all Eul's dream.

No Jik camps outside of the police station, feeling hopeless because Hyun Woo/Ji Tae isn’t around to help, and Joon Young didn’t answer his pleas. It breaks Ji Tae’s heart as he watches from his car in the station’s parking lot, and one can only hope he pulled some strings so that No Jik and Na Ri could see No Eul outside of her cell and feed her.

No Eul tries her best to distract her brother and best friend of the dismal situation she’s in, telling them about her cellmate who stole a lot of cash and how amusing she is. But No Jik is still worried, and asks if his sister really attempted to kill the assemblyman. She assures him she didn’t, and adds that JY is on his way soon to help her. In reality though, that’s just a comforting lie she’s trying to tell herself because she doesn’t want to believe JY abandoned her when he saw her being dragged away.

Meanwhile Ji Tae goes to his father to get him to drop the charges. It’s not that easy though, as “attempted murder” holds greater weight than “reckless driving.” Ji Tae wants his parents to stop ruining No Eul’s life, and Hyun Joon (knowing that Ji Tae likes her) dares him to go public with it. Will Ji Tae have the courage to announce what his parents have done in covering up her father’s accident and suing her, and own up to the fact that they are his parents? Will he have the courage that Hyun Joon didn’t have all those years ago to say no to Assemblyman Yoon?

It’s not like Hyun Joon is a full out villain here yet, even though he sounds like one because he won’t drop the charges. Instead, he owns up to his cowardice and is using it against his son. And Ji Tae, being his father’s son as we’ve seen before, is definitely full of cowardice. I think Hyun Joon is a lot more self-aware than others think he is, and he just cannot act on his morals as much as he’d like to.

The next few days, JY is still being locked without having anything to eat since he has been rejecting to eat until he is free. On the other side, JY's Mom is so confused with what JY has said and after some thought, she runs over to JY's house and finally confronts him, "Are you mistaken? What do you mean that Choi Hyun Joon is a horrible person? Who said that? He must have been mistaken." expressing her disbelieves about what she heard about Choi Hyun Joon. 

JY then says that he saw it himself. He saw what Choi Hyun Joon has done. Still cannot believe, JY's Mom says that Choi Hyun Joon is the nicest man she ever know, he will give to others too, considerate enough to the weak and poor people like her. JY then states the fact that Eul's father died five years ago because of the hit-and-run accident and that time, Choi Hyun Joon is the senior prosecutor who cover up the suspect to make way for him to success. JY thought Noh Eul is fine after some time but she is not and clearly she remembers everything from that day and living in hell of darkness. Meanwhile, Choi Hyun Joon forgets about the past and he is now living in paradise. It is not fair.

Young Ok is unable to believe this because she still holds her first love in high regard, thinking that he’s the most perfect human being in the world, the most honorable human being in this world. (As much as I want to shake her to get her out of that bubble, I get that she wants to preserve her good memories of her first love because they never ended up together. But please, you have to open your eyes! This JY's Mom makes me wants to grab her hair and drag her to see the reality. WTH Mom? You are the one who is crazy over a guy!)

Young Ok then says that how could JY speaks so casually mentioning Choi Hyun Joon's name?! She says, "He is your father!" then JY says, because he sees him as his father and that's why he caused an accident – almost make Eul to die in order to protect Hyun Joon. He too wanted to hold his birth father in high regard and did everything he could to protect him. But in doing so, he hurt the one girl that he actually cared about, and that’s why he didn’t want to be a prosecutor anymore. This hits Young Ok harder because now she understands her son’s motivations in forgoing the law career. (OMG yes! Truth-telling time!)

GY heard this entire conversation (of course) so after he drives Young Ok home he decides to let JY out. It would be too cruel to separate him from Eul at this point. However, the moment JY gets into his car he doesn’t decide to go to the police station. He decides to visit Hyun Joon instead.

Eun Soo is in for a shock when she sees her husband’s illegitimate son outside her door and tries to send him off by saying that her husband isn’t home. But Haru – that fangirl – spills the beans to Hyun Joon that her JY-oppa is at their door. Hyun Joon is curious to see why he’s there and lets him in, and decides to speak with him privately in his office. Of course, Eun Soo is not going to sit far away and wait to find out what they talk about; she situates herself outside the office door to listen in. At least Haru listens to her father and goes to her room…

JY wants Hyun Joon to drop the charges, especially since he doesn’t think Hyun Joon intended to change it to “attempted murder.” Hyun Joon pretends that he’s curious as to why Eul would try to kill him, even though he’s adamant that she did. That’s when JY points out that she could have killed him at anytime in the last five years. If she really wanted to, she wouldn’t have swerved away that night – because he wouldn’t have. 

Hyun Joon doesn’t want to be on bad terms with JY though, as he has a strange affinity to the boy. But JY doesn’t care. He doesn’t want to see him anymore in this life, and drops off the USB that he had stolen from Eul five years ago. In it is footage of Hyun Joon exiting Madame Song’s bar. It’s the footage that he’s trying to blackmail Hyun Joon with right now, and that he hurt No Eul for. Hyun Joon actually understands the message and calls to drop the charges, which makes Eun Soo burst in and cry, “Don’t do it honey!” It’s funny how even Hyun Joon is exasperated with his wife, as if he’s had enough of her shenanigans in trying to protect him.

When JY leaves the house, he bumps into Ji Tae returning home. Ji Tae is surprisingly calm at hearing that JY threathen his father to drop the charges, as if it’s something he would have done himself.

But later on he seems to have second thoughts in letting JY “win” at getting Eul out, and he calls him to say that JY does not have any right to Eul either. If only he had let Eul report the USB findings to the media, if only the family had received their punishment five years ago, Eul would be in a different place now. But no – JY interfered, because he is still Choi Hyun Joon’s son. BAM! And with that Joon Young’s confidence is destroyed and he never visits No Eul in the police station.

Eul is released the next day though, and Nari is the only one there to greet her with tofu. She looks around the parking area for JY, and hopelessly wants to wait for him. Nari calls up Jik, hoping that his appearance will spur her to get a move on things, but he’s busy not getting into a car accident of his own! On his way to the station he nearly gets hit by Secretary Kim – Eun Soo’s own secretary. 

Jik accepts their ride to the station, as he doesn’t know who Eun Soo is. But when Eul sees her, her blood runs cold. Accident, my butt! Eun Soo notes that so much could have gone wrong so easily if her secretary had braked one second too late. But behind her veiled apologies is a threat: if Eul does not do what she says going forward, her brother’s bright and shining future can easily be cut short.

JY numbs himself from his feelings by drinking lots of beer and playing video games. When CEO Namgoong and GY find him like this, they feel awful but CEO Namgoong thinks he did the right thing in preventing JY from seeing No Eul. GY adds that Eul just got out of jail, and while it makes JY feel like he should go see her, he chooses to go in his room instead and hide. He doesn’t notice that Eul has come to his front door.

Before Eul can ring the doorbell, CEO Namgoong catches her and tells her to piss off because JY isn’t interested in her anymore.

The fact that JY didn’t see her in the jail cell should tell her he isn’t interested in her. (WHT CEO Nam? Do you want to get punch? Why did you hide the fact that you locked him up so that JY cannot visit Eul?! But okay, since now JY lose his confidence too to see Eul.)

JY finds out that Eul came to his place too late through Nari, and he decides to go have a conversation with Ji Tae. By “conversation” I mean, punch him in the mouth. The scene fades out, so it seems like there is more to this conversation that we are not meant to know of just yet. Eul really has no reason to stay in the country now, as her love has forsaken her and Eun Soo is threatening her. So she makes a huge decision to pack her bags and leave Seoul with Jik. However just as the taxi is about to drive off, they’re stopped by Ji Tae, dressed in a tux for his engagement party. Yep – he’s about to announce his engagement to Jung Eun but instead of going there right away, he reveals himself to Eul first and stops her from going anywhere.

And at the same time, JY helps Lawyer Cha Taek Joong pay his measly lunch bill because Cha was the prosecutor on No Jang Su’s case. And JY wants to know who the real perpetrator of the crime that Hyun Joon protected.

Personal Thoughts:

This episode makes me so pissed off with all the character for being in that position. At first I didn't expect that Choi Hyun Joon is a horrible person due to the fact that the request is undeniable and he has no choice, instead to do it. While watching how he treats Haru, I thought he's a good guy at least but why now he ends up as a coward?

Meanwhile, JY and Ji Tae are also a coward, knowing that his father has caused messy things in Eul's life yet I am good enough, knowing that Ji Tae and JY are doing something to expose the truth. I would like to have JY to say the truth and come back to Eul. But if they get together so easily, it's not going to be a melodrama and the 10 more story will be a boring one. 

JY's Mom makes me want to grab her hair and punch her on the face, stating the fact that she is the one who is crazy over a guy who never come back and look for her. She is the one who is still in her hallucination, thinking that her first love is the most perfect man in the world. The good thing is that, the fact that JY quits law school because of Eul hit her deeply. Now you know the truth, Mom! What are you going to do later on when you realized that JY is actually dying? That gonna breaks your heart more.

Poor Eul, she knows nothing about what JY and Ji Tae has been doing for her and if I were Eul, perhaps, I am going to run away too. With the threat given right in front on my face, I am sure I have no confidence to go through everyday without thinking much about what's going to happen again. What Eul concerns the most is about the bright future of Jik. Eul is strong enough to stay till now, but maybe this is the time she couldn't be alright anymore. Everytime she decided to forget everything and start down, things get harder for her. Now she lost her love, she might thought that JY probably abandon her and now Eul back to her old self and again they are back to square 1.

Eun Soo is really an evil, I wanna see how she brokes up in the end. Each character in UF has a good and bad side but what I see is that Eun Soo doesn't have a good side because she has been an evil right from the start. She forced love to stay with her and yet she is obssessed with Choi Hyun Joon, till she is able to ruin one's life. What an evil. 

I guess in episode 12, they are going to reveal more about what's actually hapenning between Ji Tae and JY and this is gonna be heartbreaking because JY would pretend he has nothing to do with Eul anymore. Jung Eun will have a bigger role starting from this epsiode. I hope we will be able to see her true character now. You still remembers right that Jung Eun is actually the real suspect. 

I know it's hard to gain high rating for last episode because they give us an upset feeling and another variety of emotions, from being sad, awww for the kiss, they finally be together, angry and I bet the next one will be a sad one ~

UF fighthing! The storyline is soo good :D
