Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching

(Man to Man)

 

javabeans::

The mood lightened up again, and I was drawn back in accordingly. I don’t mean that I want this show to be flippant; it’s just that any attempt at earnestness tends to feel forced to me, so I much prefer it when it’s being fun. I do like how Do-ha’s now testing Seol-woo at every turn because she doesn’t trust him, and he quietly complies with everything she demands. It’s sweet in an understated way.

Dropped. I just couldn’t get into the characters enough to finish. I realized that my emotional investment in the drama was nearly 0 after three weeks of watching, so I decided to browse some of the newer alternatives instead. It’s so unfortunate because I so wanted to love Park Hae-jin in this drama, after his amazing performances in both Cheese in the Trap (despite that ending fiasco) and Bad Guys.

The dynamic between Seol-woo and Woon-kwang is seriously the bromance that keeps on giving, but the more serious aspects of the drama seem a bit confused. I appreciate Seol-woo’s subtle confessions, but I understand Do-ha’s frustration with him because he still hasn’t really given her a straight answer about anything. And I’m not sure what her plan is with this “lovers tactic†thing, because kisses are well and good, but at this point their relationship needs honesty, not more plots.

Man to Man: Episode 11

This episode made me a happy camper. I like this show best when it can successfully balance all the pieces it has in play. It’s no secret that all of us are in this because of the winning main trio, and so I’m excited to report that there are some great interactions (and actual progress!) between them today. Here we go!

 

EPISODE 11 RECAP

 

Do-ha pulls away from their lover’s tactic kiss and asks Seol-woo what step two of their strategy should be. Seol-woo answers suavely that since they’ve now kissed in the alleyway near her house, the next step should be obvious. She nearly groans, wondering if she has to do something as cliché as asking him in for some ramyun.

He agrees immediately as if she’s actually asked him instead of merely floating the idea. She doesn’t believe he’s being serious so he puts his arm around her and leads her to… a ramyun shop. Wow.

He claims that ramyun is tastier if it’s cooked by an expert, and she answers back a bit disappointed (and in an Eeyore voice). However, Seol-woo has not forgotten that they actually are on a mission and motions to NIS agent outside in the cold. He explains that watching people eat a warm bowl of ramyun on a night like this is enough to mess with anyone’s psyche.

She seems surprised that he’s thought things through to this extent and asks pointedly if everything he does is part of a larger strategy, even among friends and family. He says that a secret agent never clocks out, and that no one can be trusted. She asks if he can’t even trust the people he works with, but he throws the question back at her and asks if she trusts him. Do-ha isn’t prepared for him to cut to the heart of their complicated relationship so easily, and she walks herself truthfully through her answer, replying that she knows everything is a lie. She thinks back to the fight in the warehouse where he risked his life to save her, and admits that she thought there was sincerity in his actions, but then he disappeared, claiming that it would be too dangerous to be together.

And then, she says that Seol-woo appeared again “like a lie,†asking for an absurd amount of money on behalf of the country, only to later save her father. Now, she says, they’re even working together on another mission. Do-ha runs her various memories of Seol-woo over in her head, trying to parse through what’s real and what was part of the mission, and ends up frustrated and confused. She decides not to stress about it and instead trust her heart, just as their food arrives. She eyes the noodles and says that she’s willing to help out with his ramyun “taunting tactic,†as a colleague. Seol-woo watches her eat as if there’s so much he wants to say and no right words to say it. Soon, he reaches over to tuck some hair behind her ear.

Alarmed, Do-ha looks up, and so he explains that a lovers tactic should be “open and blatant.†She confesses to feeling uncomfortable, but also to enjoying it.

Department Head Jang tells Seung-jae that he’s positively considering the latter’s offer. He confirms that Seung-jae will deliver Congressman Baek and the Baek Infantry to him in exchange for the two keys from the wood carvings (Blast! He knows about those). They’ll also need to acquire the third wood carving in order to complete the transaction. Department Head Jang understands the precariousness of their arrangement and tells Seung-jae to release Dong-hyun, and then he’ll accept the deal.

Meanwhile, Seol-woo and Do-ha reveal their lovers tactic to Woon-kwang and exchange nervous glances after Woon-kwang asks what the new mission is.

The details aren’t concrete because Seol-woo still needs to discuss things with Department Head Jang, but Do-ha helpfully explains that Seol-woo needs a perfect disguise to fool the NIS agent tailing him. Seol-woo is certain that pretending to be lovers will be an effective tactic in mystifying the enemy.

After hearing them out, Woon-kwang accepts the idea, then says to their confusion, â€œI have no prejudice against roles like this.†He tells Seol-woo (calling him “Brotherâ€) that he’ll give it a shot, then pauses to correct himself and amends to, â€œHoney.†Holy crap! I just shot up in my seat.

Seol-woo looks back at Woon-kwang, horrified by his conclusion, while Do-ha tries to clarify. Woon-kwang silences her and says that since he’s an actor, this role will be easy, but he’s concerned that Seol-woo might have difficulties with the character. Woon-kwang tenderly takes Seol-woo by the hand, then strokes it with his other hand.

Seol-woo awkwardly tells Woon-kwang that he’s isn’t up for the part of the lover, since it makes more sense if it’s Do-ha, and so Woon-kwang dramatically throws away Seol-woo’s hand. Haha.

Suddenly, Woon-kwang gets serious and points an intimidating finger at each of his employees as he warns that they are only to act like lovers in his presence. Specifically, no kissing in other places. Merp! Too late.

Do-ha happily assures Woon-kwang that they will, and Seol-woo panics, since she’s pretty much confirmed that they’ve kissed before. She realizes her mistake and hurriedly specifies that she was talking about the acting part and not the kissing part. But Woon-kwang is onto them and studies both their faces suspiciously.
