[mslee's thoughts] Iron Man / Blade Man Episode 5 Screen caps Review - Truth Is Finally Revealed

Hong Bin found out the truth!

He found out how Tae Hee died. He found out about the blades coming out from his body!

Whenever he gets angry, and it is raining, blades would come out. So far, this has been the scenarios in this drama. I am right all along that he does not know this side of him yet. Every time it happens, he would faint and Secretary Ko would be there to rescue him and protect him from the ugly truth.

In this episode, Hong Bin dragged Se Dong with Chang to Tae Hee' hometown. He is in pursuit of the truth. He wants to know where Tae Hee is. Until this moment he has not accepted the fact that Tae Hee is gone. They went to see her parents. Unbelievably, Se Dong was called Tae Hee by the mother who has been sick all this time after Tae Hee passed away. She treated Se Dong as if she is her Tae Hee and because Se Dong has a kind heart, she played along, making the mother happy. She fussed around Se Dong.

The little boy kept the father or his grandfather company. Hong BIn became the odd one among the group. He was treated like an outsider. Not because he is not wanted but maybe because he brings back painful memories from Tae Hee's father. He kept asking the old man where Tae Hee is and what happened but the old man stayed silent. he could not bring himself to tell Hong Bin what transpired between him and Hong Bin's father. How he begged for Tae Hee to see Hong Bin even for the last time. Maybe Hong BIn's presence would make Tae Hee live longer. But he was denied and dragged outside. Secretary Ko was the witness of that pitiful scene.

One of the scenes that made me really hungry was when Se Dong was fed by Tae Hee's mother. She feasted on the variety of foods laid on the table while Hong Bin stared at her in shock. The amount of food that went inside her stomach is really unbelievable! But Se Dong looked cute, though. She appealed not as a woman but as a cute little sister. 

What keeps Hong Bin frustrated with Se Dong is that she always have to help other people in need. When the mother asked Hong Bin to deliver a sack of chili to a neighbor, he let Se Dong pulled the heavy sack. But when they get to the neighbor's house, the man was up on the roof, yelling and by ill fate, fell. Se Dong of course volunteered to buy medicines for the poor man. Even if Hong Bin wanted to go home, he accompanied her to the market. 

A thief snatched the wallet of Hong Bin from Se Dong's hands. She asked for some bills to buy personal stuffs like lingerie because she did not have time to bring some when she was suddenly dragged there by Hong Bin. Both HOng Bin and Se Dong tried to catch the thief, running after him. But then the thief had a knife, which made Hong Bin realized it would be dangerous to pursue more. But suddenly Se Dong disappeared and nowhere to be found. When night falls, he went to the police station to report about it and to look for Se Dong but the police, expectedly never wants to move and even laughed at Hong Bin's request. Ah, chongmal! 

Se Dong appeared with the thief, his hands tied, with one of her lingeries. She was so tired she slumped on the floor. HOng Bin could not believe she has been running and looking for the thief all these hours. She told him she had to because of the picture of Chang's mother, Tae Hee inside the wallet.

When they went home together, it was so dark Se Dong kept on making sounds to Hong Bin's childish fears. Suddenly, fireflies appeared illuminating the surroundings. Hng Bin already hugged tightly Se Dong by then because he was afraid of the dark. The first hug from this OTP? Quite awkward. Se Dong felt surprised but I think nothing more. As of this moment, the love atmosphere has not yet come or developed between them. While Hong Bin may find Se Dong as someone who calms him, who brings sweet scents to his senses and someone who can get away with talking back at him, so far he is just a little intrigue of her.

Next day, he found her on the roof of the man who fell wearing Tae Hee's dress. At first he thought she really was Tae Hee. He got angry. He made her come down and yelled at her for wearing Tae Hee's dress. He asked that she removed the dress at once and she almost did but they were outside so she told him she would after she got to Tae Hee's parent's place.

I always thought that butler Yoon is more than a butler or a head housekeeper. Her presence in this story is too magnificent just to put her in a small role. And yes, she has a past with Hong Bin's father. She wants to be the mistress of the house where Hong Bin lives. It seemed the father owned her that much. And then there was a talk about a son, someone unknown still in the story? Who is she exactly? And what are her motives and what does she knew about the family.

While at the office, the team mates of Se Dong are wondering where had she gone to. And Seung Hwan is suspicious that she is with Hong Bin. Poor guy, he likes Se Dong.

Chang was playing by himself. The grandfather and grandmother both went away, leaving them alone. Chang was talking by himself copying what he heard from his halmonie. Tae Hee apparently was beaten to death by gangster hired by Hong Bin's father. Hong Bin heard everything. He asked Chang where he heard them and he answered him. Anger was suddenly taking hold of him. He was so mad at that moment towards his father. he went inside the room where he stayed as anger consumed him. It was raining. Anger plus rain means blades coming out from Hong Bin's body. 

The realization was dumbfounding. He saw every blades sprouting through a mirror. When he touched a finger to his face, a slash formed, wounding him. He looked like the monster Chang draw and feared. Se Dong kept calling him outside, wanting to return Tae Hee's dress.

Will Se Dong see him as the monster he sees himself as? Will his secret be found out?

So far, this episode is good. The development of the plot has progressed.
