별에서 온 그대: 제18회
Distressed,
Song-Yi calls out Min-Joon’s name out loud in fear that he has gone away for
good, but he assures her that he is not going anywhere and that he has decided
to stay on the planet, with her. Yet her tight embrace comes with a premonition
of him lying motionless on the floor, watching his own body disappear into
nothingness. He also discovers how his powers start to wane whenever he is with
her, having spent the night together in each other’s arms. Talks
of marriage between him and her are brought up, with the former
getting the approval of both her brother and father. Going home drunk, he
unwittingly shows off his powers to Song-Yi’s brother, teleporting them back
home through a phone booth. Amazed, he promises to keep it a secret. Hwi-Kyeong’s brother
flatly denies every allegation thrown at him, bringing up his ex-wife’s mental
condition as a shield. To make matters worse, their father seems to turn a
blind eye on everything he does, taking the family’s reputation into
consideration first, and ending up disowning Hwi-Kyeong for what he has done. He, on the other hand, discovers a ball pen/recorder implicating his brother in their oldest brother's death.
So
this is the advanced honeymoon episode, huh? It is just funny seeing these two try
and curb what they really feel like doing because of the circumstances. They
had way more risqué scenes in The Thieves, which makes everything here feel so
tame it seems all too ridiculous. Despite all this, though, the sad and ironic reality
still looms, that this happiness which took him 400 years to find could very
well translate to his death. Even so, the newfound philosophy he subscribes to,
on how it is the quality and not the quantity of time you spend with the person
you care for which matters most, rings loud and clear. Anyway, seeing Song-Yi
act like an infatuated high school girls is kind of cathartic, simply because
she is reminding everyone that fame and fortune do not really make you happy. No
matter how cliché that sounds, you could not help but think that perhaps it is
because it is true after all. Anyway, the ET reference is hilarious. It is
somehow sad that we are only seeing the crazy side of people, such as Song-Yi’s
brother, just now when the series is about to end. He is so nerdy and just as
cuckoo as his sister.
