That Winter, The Wind Blows III


Okay, I think I need to address Oh Soo's two friend-things: Park Jin-sung and Moon Hee-sun.


Here they are. As you can see, they are adorable. Looks-wise. Other things wise, they are super annoying. At first, Jin-sung is more annoying. 

When Oh Soo goes to move into the mansion with Young, for some normal reason, Jin-sung tags along. NOW, Jin-sung and Oh Soo are..."partners". They appear to do semi-crimes together as a team. So, naturally, Jin-sung is in on the plan Oh Soo has to get money from Young. But why does Jin-sung also move into the mansion? He isn't related to Young (or fake-related, anyway). AND IT'S SO WEIRD BECAUSE NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. It's just accepted that Jin-sung will get a room. In episode 2 when Oh Soo first meets Young and co. he brings Jin-sung along and they sort of just look like boyfriends. I wonder if everyone was like: "Oh, well, ugh, if Oh Soo is going to be staying here he probably expects his boyfriend to stay, too. Ugh, maid, get out an extra set of sheets and pair of slippers." IT'S JUST OKAY THAT JIN-SUNG IS MOVING INTO THE MANSE. And it's so funny because I don't think he ever really introduces himself to anyone. He's just...around, eating food and adding input to conversations that have nothing to do with him and no one is ever talking to him. 


There he is just, like, at the table even though he is irrelevant to everyone who lives at the mansion. I mean, I guess if you have a mansion, it's just, like...fine if some rando off the street wanders into your house to live and eat all your fucking rice. (Oh Soo in suspenders shout out!)



Another thing about Jin-sung...he is quite loud. At least in the earlier episodes. The plan is that Oh Soo will get close to Young by pretending to be her brother and she will give him money. Fine. This could work. BUT NOT IF JIN-SUNG KEEPS LOUDLY EXPLAINING EVERYTHING THEY ARE SECRETLY UP TO ANY CHANCE HE CAN GET IN REALLY OPEN SPACES ALL THROUGHOUT THE MANSION SO EVERY FUCKING BODY CAN HEAR. Like, you really want Oh Soo to fail, right? It's ridiculous how sloppy and dumb he is. But so cute tho so I forgive you!

Especially when you consider his future-wifey Hee-sun. 


Her^. I am a little confused about her introduction. She appears to be shouting at Oh Soo, complaining  about him sleeping with other girls. I assumed from this scene that she was fucking Oh Soo. She finds a pair of panties in his bedroom and dumps soju or some shit on his head. BUT, later it's made clear that Oh Soo used to date Hee-sun's sister, who is now deceased (of course). Hee-sun seems to blame Oh Soo for the death of her sister. SO. WHYYYYYYY...IS SHE FUCKING HIM??? Who fucks the ex-boyfriend of their dead sister? ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU BLAME THE DUDE FOR HER DEATH??

Did I get it wrong? Were Hee-sun and Oh Soo not actually hooking up? I actually don't think I got it wrong, because Hee-sun spends a healthy chunk of the show acting super annoyingly jealous about Oh Soo and Young's budding relationship. 

I didn't really get Hee-sun. Also, she was all like to Oh Soo early on "why don't you just die?". And Oh Soo got all man-emotional and was all like "Because I wake up alive." I am paraphrasing, and obviously they were speaking in Korean, but it was actually beautiful. This made me sort of hate Hee-sun. One, don't tell your "friend" to kill himself. Two, don't make me feel bad for Oh Soo. I don't like it. 

I wasn't here for Hee-sun in that scene and I wasn't here for her jealousy shit. I wasn't here for her being jealous over a dude she blamed for the death of her sister. Also, Jin-sung expressed feelings for her early in the game but she was too busy being like WHY IS OH SOO SO OBSESSED WITH THAT BLIND GIRL??? Like, can't blindies have anything, Hee-sun? You have Jin-sung's adorable boyband affections, cool clothes, and a cool last name. Let Young have Oh Soo. He's super damaged, anyway. It's not like he's some great prize. 

Speaking of not being some great prize...


Shout out to Oh Soo's mom (apparently not Secretary Wang, ugh) for realizing early on what a piece of shit Oh Soo was and discarding him in a laundry bag outside in the middle of the winter. LOLJK HE TURNED OUT THE WAY HE DID BECAUSE OF YOU, YA DUMB BITCH! 

Getting back to Oh Soo's half-heartedly "adopted" fam, Jin-sung and Hee-sun eventually toned down their annoyingness by being cute. And not cloying cute. Just, awww cute. 


They get a little romance going. Clearly Jin-sung is disgusted by the female form, but I still liked their little thing. It was a nice distraction from their dramatic scenes. Like, can they stay out of Oh Soo's business? Can he breathe?? 

Mmm, apparently, no, because Jin-sung stabs Oh Soo at the end. 

I'll get to that mess later.
