Pure Love: Episode 14

49일: 제14회

The Scheduler could not remember anything despite Ji Hyeon telling him that he is Song Yi Kyeong’s dead boyfriend. However, he is still shaken by the revelation given how his human feelings are starting to come back to him nearing the end of his five-year duty. Kang manages to convince Ji Hyeon’s father to undergo surgery, lessening the stress she is already suffering from. She accidentally drops the letter addressed to his father admitting everything at the restaurant, but Kang keeps it and gets it back to her secretly, but she finds out anyway. Afraid that she would now automatically die due to Kang’s discovery, she is relieved to know that people finding out about her identity on their own does not count as violating the rules. Kang, however, leaves her resignation letter on his desk, which is discovered by In Jeong, who recognizes Ji Hyeon’s handwriting right away. After further investigation and thinking, she concludes that Ji Hyeon’s soul is somehow possessing Yi Kyeong’s body and tells Minho about it. Minho would not believe at first, but goes on investigating. He follows the real Yi Kyeong to her night shift at the cafe. Just as he asks to confirm if she is indeed Yi Kyeong, she replies, “Yes, MINHO. Why?”

We now get to hear Minho’s side of the story as to how he has turned out to be that way. We find out that his mother is in a mental institution, and how they were so poor and abused by his father. He thinks he is unlucky to be born that way, harboring all that rage for being born in such an unfortunate situation. Ji Hyeon and her family have done him no harm, but he thinks they are lucky anyway, and should therefore feel the misery he has gone through all his life. Come on, dude. I do not agree with you at all. The world does not owe you anything, and there are a lot of people who have had the same background but turned out to be okay after working hard for what they want and need in this life. Out of the billions of people on the planet, of course there would be a portion which would turn out to be, as you say, “unlucky”. You are not the only one. You are not special. Stop acting like you are. In any case, this guy is scary because he has lost all faith not just in humankind, but in life itself. The path he is treading leads nowhere else but to self-destruction. In other news, what is with Yi Kyeong knowing Minho’s name! Could it be a result of her hypnosis? Or is it really Ji Hyeon anticipating that event? Exciting!
