[mslee's thoughts] Angel Eyes Episode 8 Screen caps - An Episode of Revelation

Episode 8 is all about revelation in different aspects.

Random Recap and thoughts...

There are lots of revelations to digest in this episode.

Truth hurts.

Dong Joo was finally acknowledged by Dr. Jae Beom as his "son". In front of Ji Woon and Soo Wan in a planned dinner, Dr. Jae Beom told them their relationship. He is like a son to him. It was an unexpected action by the doctor that's why Dong Joo was speechless. Even though Soo Wan tried to say something, she was always cut by her father. He was not giving them a chance to reveal their own relationship in front of Ji Woon. He kept asking them all to take care of each other and be good as in laws. 

Soo Wan is afraid of hurting Ji Woon and her father by the revelation.She knew how both like Dong Joo and happy to know that he is family. This put both  Soo Wan and Dong Joo in a predicament, but they are holding on and facing their problems. It is a sad and confusing truth how their lives are all tangled in different ways. However, they must be honest to all people concerned to be happy.

A revelation that somehow easy to acknowledge is Hye Joo. The cute girl who displayed so much affection to Dong Joo in the fire station that brings jealousy to Soo Wan is actually Hye Joo, the dongsaeng. She followed her oppa back home and her carefree attitude amazed everyone in the fire station, especially Teddy. The reunion with Soo Wan was special, memories rushing back but in a fun and affecting way. The embrace between Soo Wan and Hye Joo was that of a lost sister found after a long time.

Next revelation is about one of the hints/evdence in the hit and run incident.The skid marks left by the car's wheel during the accident is the new assignment of the detective who promised to find the culprit to Dong Joo. After years of vacation from work, he found the energy to pursue. He is positive that the truth will soon be revealed when he managed to find out the owner of the imported car.

The ending has two more revelations.

 Dr Yoon Jae Beom sought his friend Dr. Oh Young Ji, Ji Woon's mother to confide his guilt of murdering Dong Joo's mother with his own hands. He is admitting to the sin himself and paying for it. But it seems that Dr. Young Ji has her own thoughts about the incident.  Something more and mysterious and keeping them to herself, for now. It could be another twist in the story, but what's interesting in her reaction was how she console him, telling him what happened to Jung Hwa during cardiac arrest could no longer be revived. And she talked about doing anything for a son in her case or a daughter for his case.

The best revelation in the episode is seeing Dong Joo and Soo Wan' embracing under the rain. The truth finally caught up with Ji Woon and although it hurts, it needed to be found out  Ji Woon has faced his nightmare. If words are not enough to make him understand Soo Wan's feelings towards him, if her coldness is not enough to deter him from hoping, then the actual action before his eyes are enough to see who Dong Joo is to Soo Wan all these years. Park Dong Joo, the whistle necklace giver is back. And it seems he is planning to stay by Soo Wan's side.

Revelation is always something to ponder and always an eye opener. The twist of the story can go either way.

In between this new developments in the drama is another Teddy moments – laugh moments for me. He never fails to bring laughter and fun on the screen to get away from the heavy feelings of the drama. There may be romantic and sweet scenes of Dong Joo and Soo Wan, still, Teddy steals the limelight even for a short minute with his cute and sometimes clueless expressions. And how the writernim gives him cute lines he can easily pull off. He really is fun.

For episode 8, the story did not drag, it continues to progress and let the leads show their true feelings in the midst of misunderstandings.
