Picture Spoilers for the Final Week Episodes of Prime Minister and I

Monday is right around the corner and with it comes the last two episodes of Prime Minister and I. It’s out-and-out my favorite rom-com in the last two years and barring a unprecedented collapse ought to retain that goodwill. Some rom-coms enter the final stretch either just dragging along a conflict with an easy solution or waiting for the OTP to finally confess their feelings without any caveats. I don’t think the current obstacle confronting Yul and Da Jung has either an easy solution nor does it feel like beating a dead horse. The return of first wife Na Jung was set up in Easter egg hints from the beginning but the hammer wasn’t dropped until just two episodes ago. Yul has a major major problem on his hands and it’s going to impact both his personal life and his political career. He wasn’t elected by being a devoted widower as the citizens knew he was dating Da Jung already. That helps a bit in whether the public sentiment will skew towards his reconciliation with his first wife. I don’t know what Joon Ki or Na Jung wants but frankly could care less. Hye Joo and In Ho will be on Yul’s side and that’s a major relief at this point. How Yul resolves the mess will be a testament to what story this writer wanted to tell since the first wife being alive story line was always intended. I wonder to myself whether it really was necessary to have this twist in terms of telling a compelling love story being a emotionally withdrawn Prime Minister and a cheerful warmhearted tabloid reporter. Probably not and this twist hasn’t affected the ratings much either way. I’m strangely content with remaining unspoiled about what’s to come and there hasn’t been a lot of spoilers for this drama anyways even if I were to start digging. That being said, fans caught Yoona filming at the Yeouido train station and in a separate sighting she was doing a street scene with her onscreen hubby Lee Bum Soo. Seeing these new stills fans have jokingly noted that this drama should change the title to Prime Minister Retrieves His Wife what with the foreseeable amounts of Da Jung staying away and Yul trying to bring her back. That’s a cute title and I can handle some run-and-chase since there is just two episodes remaining. All I ask for is a real open mouth kissing after the couple breaks through all obstacles, and this time I won’t even mind the cheesy 360 camera angle shot.
