Thoughts on this episode.
Love how this episode resolve the previous episode crisis of HY & LS's relationship. HY seems to the proactive one here. His confession, confidence and "selfish"disregard of why he should stay away plus his touching speech telling LS to hate him all she wants, just let him stay by her side starts to remove LS's reservation one by one. Bringing her friends over for a party and finally the apology on be half on his grand father, father and himself to the wrongs done to the royal family and her father, hence putting himself and his family at the risk of being shamed totally resolved her reservations about their relationship.
The public apology is really quite a brilliant move on Mr Diplomat part. Admitting of guilt and a sincere apology had always been key to resolving hatred and to move on. It reveals LS's dad's suffering due to the mistake by his father and grandfather and helps LS forgive the Parks.
PR wise, this bit of history may brought shame HY and his family and had been the skeleton in the closet for the Park family. YJ had used it as a threat to force LS out of the palace previously. However, while it is a risky move, diplomatically, such a public apology and transparency of the Daehan group history basically ends public speculation on Granpa's intention for donating all his wealth to society. With the skeleton out of the closet, no one can use it as a means to threaten them further....
Perhaps HY is also demonstrating to the president he is not afraid of revealing politically sensitive stuff when need to. So if the president try to mess with the royal family...he will really let the whole world know of his grandfathers contribution to the president being elected.
YJ finally get her just desserts, being fired from two posts in one episode. Yippee! Professor Nam shows that his heart is still with YJ, telling her that he is firing her so that she can started anew. He tries to ask HY to take care of her because he still care for her. Hopefully, YJ (however undeserving as she is) will not let the prof down and turns over a new leaf in the last two episodes.
Favorite moments -contain Spoilers
The moment we have been waiting for
The Episode starts with LS coming out of the door and starts saying to HY: My feelings for Mr P ..
.He did not let her finish but seal her words with a deep kiss, holding her tightly. He told her that they can't run away from each other now. He can't know how tired she is or how she is really feeling as that is the only way he can keep her by his side. He then embrace her, holding her tightly.
HY's Room
HY pretends to be getting sick from the cold and ask LS to switch on the heater for him quick.
then he adds " or ....if you stay with me till morning, then its okay without the heater" (He have a extremely cheeky and playful expression as he said that.)
Hate me but let me stay with you speech
HY: Hate me all you want but don't push me too far and don't blame yourself for hating me. Just let me stay before you and look at me, the one who is happy because of you. You can can feel free to hate me. It is good this way... I am to be somebody to you.
Ero-Seol on the phone
The party scene where the gang found out HY has a video of LS on his phone with the label "“Ero-Seol," -meaning something racy. They connect the phone to the TV for every one to watch. and the embarrassed expression on HY is just hilarious.
I am back and you are dead
LS firing YJ from her position as the museum director.
I love those sweet moments too and how this episode also shows HY putting every thing at risk for LS, of course it is a calculated move and it have its purpose but I think he mostly do the press conference thing for LS
