How strong is your capacity to handle angst, Best Love fans? My tolerance is pretty high, yet I ended up crying through the happy part of episode 13 of BL today and then smiling through the sad parts. That just means this drama is KILLING me with the tenderness mixed with the tension. I still don’t believe the Hong Sisters will end this other than with everyone happy, but damn it if I’m getting the last few episodes of Hong Gil Dong vibes all over the place.
I close my eyes and I can vividly see Gil Dong and Yi Nok (Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri) being the happiest and most carefree before the shit hit the fan. Hell, I can’t even listen to the amazing “Don’t Forget Me” from the BL OST without immediately bursting into tears. Hong Sisters, you PWN me right now. I need someone to hold me to watch the last three episodes.
Written preview for episode 14:
I just wanted to let my heart thump again so I decided to pursue you.
Jin sells himself out so that Ae Jung can escape this dilemma, but Ae Jung refuses to accept this so she goes to the press conference by herself. Jin sees that Ae Jung’s explosive statements have made things worse, so he suggests using his heart surgery as news to cover up Ae Jung’s scandal. On the other hand, thanks to Pil Joo, Se Ri and Mina finally meet face-to-face, and the truth about why the Treasure Girls disbanded is finally revealed……..

oh i was waiting for the recap of episode 13. But thanks for the preview for ep 14. I really hope that it will be a happy ending too
OMG, I’ve been waiting to hear why they broke up. I have my own theories but I really want to know!!
hahah am i allowed to post my theory here?
i think that Mina got preagnant and AH Jung tried to cover up for her.
also, it was the child of the famous celebrity.
as for Mina’s kid, Its Ah Jung’s nephew. think abou it, they never once mentioned his mom! or his dad ever being married.
me too. i think mina was preggers but lost the baby because of that shit seri pulled. and then mina lost her shit and wantedout.
Good theory, but Ding Dong is 7 and the group broke up 10 years ago, so at most the child would
be 9 years old.
I think that MiNa lost the baby, which was the child of a top star. I think the top star and his people were the financial backers supporting the breakup of the group.
I think that MiNa was then shipped off to America where she wouldn’t talk and because she was suicidal (from an early episode). She changed her name and it was there that she eventually met her husband, who only knew she was a singer, but she never told him of the pregnancy or her promiscuous behavior. I wonder what his response will be not only to that, but to what she has allowed AJ to suffer.
Maybe Alex will help to set MiNa straight to come clean and then take her back to the USA where she won’t have to suffer any ill effects of the ensuing scandal. Although, there is the legal issue involving the top star, but MiNa’s husband IS a lawyer, so that could help…
Ok, my theory was also that she was pregnant with that Top Star’s baby and only AJ knew, because it’s obvious neither Jenny nor Seri knew. Then she probably lost it because of the poison and wanted to commit suicide.
I’m really frustrated with Mina though. How could she sit by, live her hunky dory new life and watch what AJ has to go through for 10 years? And now this shit storm. How selfish and immature of her. I think Seri’s going to find out and have her turning point and she’s going to be the one to out Mina to save AJ (after all, Seri does know how to play the media). I’m so frustrated with Mina because Jenny had said that if Mina knew AJ was going through a hard time because of Seri, she wouldn’t allow it. I thought she was going to come back and protect AJ now that AJ is the one that needs it. I need Jenny to catch wind of the truth as well. I don’t think Jenny would just sit by and allow Mina to be such a baby.
Mina falling pregnant in the past doesn’t mean she was promiscuous…just sayin’.
Jellybeaniebaby are you inside of my mind? I was thinking exactly that. Though I doubt her husband help her come forward though.
I suppose we’ll have to wait to ep 16 for her to come clean.
haven’t seen episode 13 yet. but i know it will kill me with so much angst
thanks for this preview
can’t write more… hands shaking eyes tearing
Fabulous. Now I won’t be able to concentrate at work. This show is killing me.
I agree! I’m at work now reading this recap and now all i’ll think about is how long i have to wait until the is episode comes and I can see what happens! o_O
Though i try myself so hard to watch this ep without tears, i cant help but cry out loudly with the happiest and saddest moment in the same ep! Will try to hold back the tears again for tomorrow ep. Thanx alot for the tips of the preview. Love you Koala.
Loving this! Hope he doesn’t die or else this means war!!
wow i think episode 13 was too intense for me even though i have no clue what is being said at the crucial moments but oh dear lord! so many tearing scenes! sheesh it’s like someone died or somethin… (note to the Hongs: YOU BETTER NOT KILL DJ OFF) *slams fist through wall*
I am intrigued by the lil preview of episode 14…. I saw Se Ri looking shocked and crestfallen and a pale-looking DJ… *holding back tears*
It amazes me that i cried watching episode 13 when I’ve yet to watch the whole thing with eng subs!
That’s the true power of a good drama series!
same here…though i was not watching it with subs…i can feel the pain and tension they have….it is a real good one….they were able to convey their feelings…and i felt it….arggghhhh…need to step out..i cant stop crying remembering that scene where she was with her family and dingdong crying hard…poor kid…
I felt so bipolar watching this episode. GAHH :'( and it’s only episode 13!
I was so disgusted with Mina during the latest episode, asking Ae Jong for help, yet again, not even caring about how Ae Jong had to endure humiliation for 10 years… but then it occurred to me that Ae Jong brought this all on herself. You have to take care of yourself b4 you can truly take care of others…
I was proud of PJ for chewing MN out for being selfish and uncaring. She totally deserved that.
i watched ep 13 without knowing what they are talking about but i feel the pain of AJ..i cried when she cried…she sacrificed so much for mina and i hope that mina will have the courage to tell the truth since she is not in the entertainment industry anymore…truth will set AJ free from unpleasant talks and bad image… looking forward to the eng subs and ep 14
I hope MiNa’s husband loves her enough to help her to “come clean”.
Honestly, I think it’d be ridiculous if her husband gave her a hard time about her past. He might be understandably upset at first, but I think a reasonable person would get over it. It was a mistake made 10 years ago. I cross my fingers that they don’t put men in that bad of a light.
It’s like all the angst is happening all at once. We got to see all the lovelove with k and AJ in LTM, CDJ and BW in CYHMH, and Jin and AJ in BL _
. It’s like all the writers had a powwow and decided to deliver all the angst at once…..
It’s just where they are in terms of the episode counts. The major angst always comes right after the happy and near the end, so the end is the conclusion of said angst.
Koala, don’t go comparing Jin and AJ with Hong Gil Dong and Yi Nok, huhuhu. I loved Hong Gil Dong but I never dared watch it again because it gave me so much heartache.
I hope the Hong Sisters don’t make Jin die. *fingers crossed*
Lest keep our fingers crossed bx I don’t think there is one person who can see another HGD ending after all the laughs this show has given us. Btw I felt the same way with MGIAG, fortunately the Hong sisters gave us a happy ending that time.
I don’t dare to watch this!!!
I think I don’t have the power to manage this!!!
I don’t, I don’t!!
Thanks for the preview of episode 14 ockoala, really when I read your recap on episode 13, my eyes teary.. I feel so sad and down about Dokko Jin, I feel his feeling.. all he wants now is to be with his precious Ae Jung, till the times comes.. as much as he wants to keep living but he can’t deny that he could end up die, is such a big dilemma for him. I hope his love for Ae Jung will keep him alive.. will keep his heart beating again because he wants to be with her so much and his heart too..
if i hold you,will you hold me back? hahaha
my heart also goes thump, thump waiting for ep 14. this romcom is turning out to be a tear jerker. can’t stop crying over the possibility that AJ might end up without DKJ in the end! i feel so bad for AJ. she has endured so much for the people she cared about and she deserves to have DKJ in the end and live happily ever after! so sad that only 3 more epi left but also excited to see how the sisters will end this story.
I think mina’s kid belongs to some uber rich guy who paid off for the girls group disbanding. Damn you Ae Jung! Why? Why must live with the accusations when they’re not even yours!! Arggghhhhh! >:(
