Suspicious Partner Episode 35-36
Finally some real answers! At least about one case, and I don’t know if Bong-hee will find justice for her father but now everyone who matters knows the truth.
If one person shined today, it was Eun Bong-hee. From kicking some serious Hyun-soo ass to finding out the truth about how her father died, she was courageous, levelheaded and mature in the way she handled everything.
The new and game changing information regarding her father had to be the biggest blow for her. But I’m glad she is taking her time to find a way back to Ji-wook, and not immediately be at peace with it. She understands it was in part beyond him and not his fault what happened.
Bong-hee is also taking no prisoners when talking to DA Jang. I thought that when she finally got to confront him it was going to be incredibly dramatic but Bong-hee handled herself with so much grace that he put the old man to shame for his own arrogance. It was way more satisfying than seeing DA Jang destitute from his job or behind bars.
Speaking of DA Jang, what the hell is he doing with Hyun-soo? Where is he taking him? Why did Hyun-soo give a cryptic comment and smile all the way through the episode? Did they reach a deal? Seriously? With the man who killed his son? I can’t believe it.
And why haven’t we got answers in the Hyun-soo case? I thought that with his amnesia and him trying to figure out the truth behind his actions, we would get some glimpses to what happened to that young girl he holds so dear. But all we got was one flashback of her running through a shady and secluded place.
Moving on to lighter plot points, for once I think Yoo-jung did the right thing. The way she asked Eun-hyuk whatever they were friends was phrased in a complicated way, but when she said to herself that she had done the right thing (which I agree) I knew she had let him know that she has never, doesn’t and never will see him in any other capacity more than a friend. Even with Ji-wook out of the picture.
It broke my heart for Eun-hyuk but I think this is the closure he finally needed. That hospital scene, when he was fussing over Yoo-jung being hurt, I could see how earnest he is towards her and I’m truly sorry she doesn’t feel the same, but that’s life. Sometimes no matter how much we want something, it’s not meant to be. I have to give credit to the show for giving us a really rich and non-conventional second leads drama that actually seem like they won’t be ending up together and neither has feelings for either of the main leads. Can we get more of this kind of storylines in Dramaland?
Of course, I cannot not mention the scene between Bong-hee and Ji-hae. I know I was supposed to feel heartbroken over their pain but the fact that these two frenemies have become each other’s besties, it’s simply too hilarious not to laugh and found them endearing through the entire moment they were sharing.
I knew Ji-hae had a crush on Eun-hyuk but I didn’t think it was strong enough for her to drink her sorrows away or cry for him after she saw his attentiveness towards Yoo-jung. I guess that’s when she realized that maybe it was all in her head.
Personally, I hope she’s wrong. I like the idea of Ji-hae and Eun-hyuk, and like I mentioned yesterday I think her storyline has proven to be one of the best and more compelling ones in the show, even if she was mostly in the background until lately. She has grown up a lot and I want her to be happy, same goes for Eun-hyuk, and for some reason I feel they are well suited for each other.
Jae-hong is still around and everyone loves to dot on him. He’s even participating in the law firms reunions… they are totally keeping the kid, right? Why not? I don’t know if they will go as far as to adopt him but this could be a chance for him to have a real family who actually loves him. Plus he’s adorable and sassy which fits perfectly well with these odd family of foolish fun-loving lawyers. I also love the parallels between Ji-wook as a momma’s boy that sass CEO Byun all the time, and Jae-hong as a Ji-wook’s fanboy who enjoys throwing sass to Bong-hee. And CEO Byun. Pfffft!
Finally, Ji-wook is going back to be a prosecutor. I’m hoping he will take more than Hyun-soo’s case, and try to clear Bong-hee’s father reputation too. I’m sad that he will be leaving the law-firm, because it means their reunions won’t ever be the same. But does this mean Chief Bang is going back with him too? What about the rest? So many questions, this changes everything that has been so well stablished so far.
I like how the show wrote Ji-wook’s journey towards finding himself, through his lost memories and new sense of self-awareness of what he wants to do with his life. This time he’s going back to be a prosecutor because it’s who he is and where he feels at his best, not because of his father.
And as much I love Bong-hee and Ji-wook, and their pace where they take years to make a move or do everything in a few days, I hope they go with the latter this time around. They both are keenly aware of how precious life is and how it can be gone in the blink of an eye. It’s clear to everyone watching they adore each other, so it’s time for them to be shameless again and go through whatever it’s coming together.
By the way, we found out a few episodes ago what happened two years ago the night Bong-hee threw herself at Ji-wook, trying to seduce him. Do you think the last epilogue will show what happened the night he threw himself at her?
