[mslee's thoughts] Endless Love Episodes 13 and 14 Screen caps and Review

Short Recap

Episodes 13 and 14

Because of her nature, someone who will never keep silent for what's currently happening in the country, In Ae was one of the students who was captured by the police and was tortured. Park Young Tae headed the interrogation. But In Ae was very tough amidst the painful lashing and other inhuman sufferings being done to her. 

Kwang Hoon saw her through a monitor. A means for General to make him decide his next move. To live or to let In Ae continue her sufferings. I want to think that Kwang Hoon was on the verge of leaving the General to be with In Ae. Deep within he does love In Ae but unfortunately, this incident happened to In Ae. I want to think that if this did not happen, maybe there is a chance for Kwang Hoon after all. But I will never get to see his decision or prove that he did think of abandoning his dreams.

In order to make a deal, to at least stop the torture, Kwang Hoon was soon engaged to Hye Jin. He cried, for all the reasons he has. But it was not only him who was calling to stop the interrogation against In Ae. Kim Tae Kyung appealed to his father, the Prime Minister for help. Park Young Tae thought that In Ae was still fortunate to have both sides with her. Iron Butterfly was so mad when she learned about the PM concern for In Ae..

Of course the media wrote about the engagement of the only daughter of the General to his subordinate/adoptive son Kwang Hoon who was an orphan. Well, it's not true but it was written that way. Maybe to avoid further investigation of his background leading to the death of his father who was named a traitor.

Kwang Chul was so angry. He nagged  Kwang Hoon to change his mind and go to In Ae. But it all fell to deaf ears. The engage ment was done in the hotel where Kwang Chul managed. Against his will, he was there not as a brother or family but only as the General Manager.

I pity Hye Jin because even though she made the engagement possible, cornered Kwang hoon to accepting her as his fiancee, she could see how this is hurting him. She knew that he was only doing this for his dream and for In Ae. I want to think that even though Hye Jin planned this, deep within she is not the bad woman who would scheme to harm In Ae. Or even feel triumphant over In Ae's loss and sufferings. She is just like a child, holding on to her own dream and happiness which I doubt she will soon have.

In Ae got out of prison. She faced Kwang hoon and Hye Jin with Kwang Chul in a restaurant. She surprised the couple. She was very composed. That moment was hers. I think it was necessary that she make Kwang Hoon see even for the last minute that she will never give up and that she will accept him still only if he changed his mind. But Kwang Hoon already made his choice. He let her go. Asked her to let him go and move forward.

This has been something that is anticipated already. Sooner or later, Kwang Hoon would leave her for Hye Jin. The moment he knew that the General intended for him to be his son-in-law, he should have left him. But he never did. 

After studying aboad Se Kyung came back to Korea. Well at least to annoy Kwang Chul. It's how I see it. Maybe because I never liked her way of confessing her feelings to him. Maybe I find it to irritating, her being forward. Maybe if she just stay put and just be a good friend without making demands on Kwang Chul's time, I might like her. Or maybe I want my own OTP, which are Kwang Chul and In Ae.

In the ending part of the episode [ 14 ] Kwang Hoon noticed the necklace with Jacob embedded on it. It was like the same necklace he found In Ae wearing with Sarah on it. He asked Kwang Chul about it and his feelings, but of course Kwang Chul denied. But in the end, his feelings depends on Kwang Hoon's choice.

At last, his secret is out. His brother finally knows what he feels for In Ae. I hope Kwang Hoon won't be offended by it. After all Kwang Chul never made a move to go after In Ae all these years. He remained the brother, the friend in In Ae's life.

Another chapter will start in the drama. I think by this time, In Ae will be more mature, will be more controlled of her feelings. I think after all that she has gone through, she will remain tough but intelligent enough to suppress her emotions to avoid further mishaps. 

I want to see how Kwang Chul will succeed and how Kwang Hoon will realize that one can make it even on his own without the help of powerful people like the General. I think the next time they all meet, he will be in a higher position, but what had he gone through to achieve those?

While In Ae will survive. She will succeed. She will continue to be the voice of the oppressed. 

This saga is really quite interesting. I am looking forward to a new romance. I still am skeptical about the relationship of In Ae to Tae Kyung. Maybe he is not her brother like the daughter of the PM. But I can't see where Tae Kyung be in In Ae's life. I should hope for friendship and support. But I am not sure.

I am still intrigue about the Prime Minister. His passive action as of now hides his real interest in politics. And I am sure Iron Butterfly will not just sit around and watch PM be toppled on his position. She is too ambitious and greedy to let her husband take a back seat in politics.

for now this is my review
