KBS2 "Secret" October 31, 2013 10PM
Five Line Summary
Min Hyuk (played by Ji Sung) looks for a new investor to keep his company which is in danger. Yoo Jung (played by Hwang Jung Eum) develops a new sauce and helps. Min Hyuk revives the blackbox tape that Do Hoon (played by Bae Soo Bin) deletes and checks if Yoo Jung and Do Hoon were together on the day of the accident, but he tries to look for more convincing evidence. At the fact that Yoo Jung was next to Min Hyuk, Se Yeon (played by Lee Da Hee) gets sensitive and makes a fake birthday party for Min Hyuk and crushes Yoo Jung's confidence.
Review
Stalker Jo (nickname for the obsession that Jo Min Hyuk has for Yoo Jung) has gone away for a while. In the past, he had been monitoring every step of Yoo Jung to torment her but now he's worried about her and takes care of her. He tries to have her avoid places where she would feel uncomfortable with Do Hoon. This is a change. And now, even others are catching onto his feelings which he did not know before. As if Se Yeon reading the love in the eyes of Min Hyuk, the reason this is all not shocking is because the characters have slowly built these feelings. They've taken one step at a time without jumping two steps at once.
The secret behind forming these characters is the reason that viewers are still drawn as secrets are revealed one by one. They're not curious about the truth but the changes in character and the reactions of other characters when finding out about the truth. Yoo Jung wasn't the one responsible for the accident but she feels guilty to even be at the scene of the accident and Do Hoon makes lies after lies and tries to cover his footsteps as it's interesting to see what will happen in the future. It was a mistake to think that the story would die after the secrets were revealed. The love story has been making viewers anxious as they gathered in front of the TV and the well written characters are like wheels of a carriage that naturally carry the story. Towards the ending that we want to see and know.
Talking Points
- Kwang Soo (played by Choi Woong) who tries to hit Min Hyuk secretly but gets discovered. What are we going to do about this cuteness?
- Yoo Jung who sings and even dances for Min Hyuk. There's a forgotten legend that she was part of "Sugar"
- Why is Se Yeon's words, "Su Jee Hee As long as she dies, we're good" so scary? Is she the person that has the last key to the secret?
