Ha Ni and Seung Jo return to the house drenched, to the shock of all the living room denizens. While Seung Jo’s parents try to persuade him to stay, Ha Ni’s dad is firm that he’s not comfortable with the situation. Ha Ni’s dad has clearly delivered the news that they are moving out yet again. It’s conveying both Seung Jo’s heat-of-the-moment expression of his feelings, as well as a softness that matches well with his tendency to remain dispassionate about everything.īack at the house of Baek, the parents are discussing their living arrangements. Nothing terribly exciting changes, except the editing monkey was locked back in his cage, because this time the rain kiss doesn’t cut away to the umbrella resting on the ground.įinally, we get to watch the kiss unobstructed, and it’s lovely in its poignant way. The PD appears to know that he has a good thing on his hands, because the episode starts off a repeat of the rain scene, with some edits to sequence in various places. Whether stand alone or vis-à-vis the other adaptations of Itazura na Kiss.
So with that in mind, let’s all agree to disagree and allow everyone to have their own interpretation and evaluation of Ha Ni, Seung Jo, and PK in general. Depending on our own personal values and code of conduct, as well as our age, Ha Ni is either a negative depiction of a young girl struggling with her pursuit of love, or a positive example of a person persevering through all odds to achieve the most ordinary of goals. It is quite possible that the character of Ha Ni strikes a raw nerve – liking or not liking her choices in life appear to subconsciously trigger our own validation of our lives. I finally realized why PK may be so polarizing amongst the viewers. I already know that Ha Ni is the best fit for him, but now I buy into the coupling both ways.
Seung Jo as a boyfriend isn’t bad overall, but his patience and understanding of Ha Ni convinces me that he’s the best fit for her. This episode also showed that, while Joon Gu would treat Ha Ni like a goddess for the rest of her life, perhaps she needs to be with someone who treats her like a human being, for the good and the bad. Ha Ni annoyed me for a split second before she regained proper use of her brain and finally womaned up and did something without Seung Jo. There were heady emotional moments, quiet heartfelt embraces, and plenty of professional development from everyone involved. Episode 14 of Playful Kiss ( Mischievous Kiss) was a soft landing for everyone involved, be it the participants of that rainy kiss or us viewers.
