Everything that comes to mind involves Jung-hyuk - the way he makes her ramyun by hand, how he now knows the difference between regular and scented candles, and how he always says he’s fine even when he’s standing on a land mine. Jung-hyuk punches him, which gets Jung-hyuk beaten and arrested and taken to the State Security Department.Īs Se-ri is being taken away, she tries to think of happy things. He says that he plans to use her to destroy Jung-hyuk and his entire family, and gets graphic about the ways he intends to torture Se-ri when he finds her. When Jung-hyuk sees that they’ve damaged his tomato plant, he confronts Chul-kang, who sneers that Se-ri doesn’t belong to Division 11. Chul-kang is there with soldiers from the State Security Department, searching the house for Se-ri. It’s dark when he makes it home, and there’s a crowd around his house. But Jung-hyuk doesn’t know that, and he fights back tears as he tries to call Seung-joon with shaking hands. Thankfully, Se-ri is fine - the gun went off when she pushed one of her captor’s arms as he wrestled the phone from her, and the bullet went through the truck’s canvas top. Se-ri manages to sob, “Ri Jung-hyuk, I love you,” then all he hears is a gunshot and silence. They force her to call Jung-hyuk and tell him she’s leaving the country with Seung-joon, but Jung-hyuk can sense that something is wrong and begs her to say where she is. Se-ri is walking back to Jung-hyuk’s house carrying the watch she traded with the pawn broker when she’s kidnapped at gunpoint by several unidentified men. No matter how many times her protectors try to help her get home, it never gets any easier to say goodbye. The stakes are getting higher the longer our heroine stays in North Korea, not the least of which are the emotional stakes. 106 JanuJanuCrash Landing on You: Episode 9 by LollyPip
