REWATCH: Personal Taste - Episode 10
I realized more pictures mean less words required, so in an effort to get this done before the New Year...more pictures added than previous posts!
Game over!
Night outside of Sangojae: ChangYul’s ass is making an imprint in the cement and he is bleeding out of his cute little nose.
JinHo’s eyes narrow in annoyance at GaeIn’s fussing over the ex-boyfriend slash Fake-Revenge-Plan boyfriend. He doesn’t care for the genuine care in GaeIn’s attention of ChangYul.
Emotions are wildly mixed, signals crossing all over the place. Before things get even bloodier, InHee steps in between the two testosterone sticks. “It seems you’re out of your mind with jealousy!” she shouts at ChangYul. She very pointedly reminds ChangYul that JinHo is gay gay gay so there is no harm with the two living together—wink, wink—her demeanor is all but begging the thick-headed ChangYul to get the point: WE DO NOT WANT THESE TWO LOVEBIRDS TO KNOW THEY CAN HAVE A HAPPILY HETERO RELATIONSHIP! ChangYul doesn’t really get what InHee is doing, but he capitulates. When JinHo and GaeIn go inside, InHee rounds in on ChangYul, “Are you a moron!?” she demands. To prove her point, he yells back in angry confusion, “What!?”
Once inside, GaeIn asks after JinHo’s punched face. “Don’t worry about me, worry about your boyfriend,” he throws back. Oh no, he’s not bitter at all. She doesn’t understand why he’s all snide and sulky but she definitely understands the disdain behind the words. “The way you rushed to his side at his nosebleed was just like a girlfriend,” he explains, again not at all bitterly (not). She hedges that it was all a part of the game, the game he taught her. The push and pull. The hesitant tone of her explanation reads less like truth and more like evasion; it does not sound very convincing, and definitely, jealous JinHo doesn’t believe it. When she insists it was all an act, JinHo informs her that her actions were definitely sincere as he knows better than she does her own level of acting. Which is to say, she sucks at it. She retorts that she’s aiming for the Academy Award this time, he’ll just have to wait and see!
When she tries to head off to grab an ice pack for his face, he grabs her wrist and holds tight.
“That hurts,” she winces. He continues to grab hard, and with too much seriousness, asks, “Can you really do it? When I say ‘game over,’ will you be able to really toss ChangYul aside?” She says yes, and he lets go of her arm.
But she wants a promise in return. She wants him to remember to stay her closest friend in this world. “I told you I would,” he affirms in his no-nonsense, fact-based tone. They challenge one another to guard their hearts from the enemy forces…seems to me they are speaking less about the threat of InHee and ChangYul than guarding their own feelings from one another.
