These were pretty amazing and surprisingly hopeful.



It always takes me forever to post on I Miss You because I find the drama so emotionally absorbing, I need hours of uninterrupted time to watch it.



He sees the footage of Soo Yeon in the rapist's garage and remembers their childhood selves - this scene is both confirmation and tragic all at once, but I love that even in the light of overwhelming evidence, Jung Woo does not believe Soo Yeon is a murderer. Look at the determination on his face!




And he goes to ostensibly arrest her, but he leaves his gun and cuffs in the car. He believes her but he also knows he must bring her in. Oh, Jung Woo. You break my heart. And then he keeps looking at her and she is looking away and the chemistry is making it hard for me to breathe. And he tells her she is a murder suspect, and she clutches him for support. "It's not me.""I know." This drama is officially trying to kill me. And she tries to go to Harry - it's as if Harry is her default security blanket (and I think whatever else happens in this drama, I want Soo Yeon to be able to stand on her own two feet at the end). And all that pain in his eyes as he tells her "I don't want to put handcuffs on you" but she is panicking, irrational, and wants nothing but Harry. She makes me think of a fragile angel in this scene. And all she needs and wants is for Harry to hold her. These two are so intertwined now that whatever her feelings for Jung Woo, I think it will be hard to disentangle from Harry completely. But of course all her desperation ends up meaning is that it is too late and she is arrested. And Jung Woo asks to take her in "I am not going to lose her." Seriously, my heart! Though you know, this arrest is somehow breaking barriers between Soo Yeon and Zoe and it is a good thing - fist step to healing.














I do love that she hides in Jung Woo's jacket.




It's a measure of how much both Harry and Jung Woo love her that they team up to help her. Never thought I'd see that.




The interrogation scenes are my favorite scenes in the drama so far. When she finally snaps and says she is glad the rapist is dead - it is both chilling and cathartic. And both hers and Jung Woo's faes at that! Especially his face when she asks "am I the only one who thinks like that?"





Meanwhile it's been verified via fingerprints that Zoe is not Soo Yeon - yay for (poor, despairing, face on cane) Harry's manipulations for once.



And in the interrogation room meanwhile she draws blood from Jung Woo - she says he wants her to be Soo Yeon so he can solve the murder and arrest her. And I am sure she knows it is not true, but a part of her must want it to be true because that would enable her to be justified in retreating to the safety of her isolation with Harry. And Jung Woo, with unshakeable conviction: "Soo Yeon wouldn't kill anybody." And she replies: "If I were Soo Yeon, I would have killed you first." She really is lashing out, isn't she? But it must be incredibly healing to admit the truth of her identity, even in hypotheticals (perhaps the distance of hypotheticals is what helps her). And he replies: "Even if you were to kill me, I still wish you were Soo Yeon." Oh, Jung Woo, you slay me.






She is freed and goes to Harry and now Jung Woo is the outsider, the interloper, the one looking in.








The scene with Jung Woo eating. Why do kdramas have the most heartbreaking eating scenes?



OK, Harry and his computer buddy are officially creepy, even without the serial killer lighting.



Harry baits Jung Woo and tries to do another one of his games but he is always defeated by Jung Woo's utter refusal to play games. JW tells Harry he loves Zoe, one-sidedly. JW grew up amazing, didn't he?





Soo Yeon admitting to her mother who she is was such a huge step for her melding identities. I loved it for that reason.




And the scene where she quietly watches him unobserved - talking to the lamppost, being on the playground (all little, unput-on actions that show how much she is ingrained in him). I think she is able to come so forward because that conversation in the station has cleared the air somewhat, for her. And the little moment where she gasps in worry when he looks as if he might fall off the seesaw and when she mimics his stance. Wow. Little gestures given such enormous meaning. She is coming alive.








And he sees her, and he smiles that little giddy incredulous smile and my own heart does something funny.




And he evens out the shoes for her, unseen! But Harry is watching too and you see it hit him that the gesture of wiping away memories she does for him is something she learned from his rival. These people need therapy forever.





OK, the back hug was pretty creepy under the circumstances.



The whole scene with him, his partner and SY was adorableness. Especially when he half-whispers to himself that her voice is the same on the phone. This is a man really far gone, ladies and gents! And she returned his button!





Ahjumma is the killer! OMFG! I bet rapist killed her kid too. But don't kill Jung Woo, lady, please!
