  • Rescue Me: Episode 6rescueme06-00039.jpg

 

The longest night of Sang-mi’s life (so far) comes to an end, and in the aftermath, everyone tries to figure out what comes next. While our heroine’s cries for help haven’t gone unheeded by her would-be saviors this time, the cult’s terrifying manipulations go far beyond physical threats. And with the last thing Sang-mi truly cherishes being used against her, it’ll take everything she’s got to keep from giving in.

 

 

EPISODE 6 RECAP

We return to the car accident between the Guseonwon van and the boys. Jung-hoon threatens to call his police officer father, but Disciple Kang counters with her own threat—once they’ve called the police, the boys can get tested to see if they’ve been drinking.

Hearing that, the boys concede that it was their fault too. But just as Sang-hwan turns to leave, a car drives past, illuminating Sang-mi’s face in the van’s backseat. Sang-hwan hears her whisper, “Rescue me.â€

Guseonwon’s muscle, Jo Wan-duk, slams the van door closed before Sang-mi can say more, and Disciple Kang asks if the boys want anything else, clearly alarmed at Sang-hwan’s interest in Sang-mi. The boys leave, but not before Disciple Jo shoves the money he had been trying to bribe them with into Jung-hoon’s hand.

The boys don’t go too far though, and they park their motorcycles on a dead end looking out over the city. Sang-hwan asks if the others saw her, and Jung-hoon responds that sure, he saw the pretty “ajumma†(Disciple Kang). Man-hee’s expression is much more grave though, and he nods in agreement when Sang-hwan says that it was Sang-mi in the car.

It takes a second for Jung-hoon to remember Sang-mi, but then he recalls that she disappeared after her brother died, presumably back to Seoul. Sang-hwan points out that Sang-mi didn’t ask them to help her, but to “rescue†her, a signal that she’s in real trouble.

 

rescueme06-07911.jpg

 

Back in the van, Disciple Jo questions Sang-mi about the boys, but her father interjects that there’s no way she could have known them, since she was barely at school long enough to make friends. (And whose fault is that?)

Leering, Disciple Jo says that he’ll make sure Sang-mi isn’t lonely anymore, but Disciple Kang, clearly fed up, interrupts him and tells everyone in the van to contemplate in silence.

The boys are back on the road, determined to follow the Guseonwon van. Jung-hoon pulls out a selfie stick and gets ready to broadcast their rescue mission to his streaming channel.

 

rescueme06-12636.jpg rescueme06-12706.jpg

 

The motorcycles catch up to the van and take the left fork in the road as the van takes a right, Jung-hoon narrating to his viewers the whole way.

They twist through the roads of the city to follow the van from a safe distance, and at one point, Sang-mi spots Sang-hwan driving down a parallel street. They lock gazes, and Sang-mi touches her hand to the window.

Still not ready to give up and with help in sight, Sang-mi takes note of the other van passengers, who are tired and distracted, and starts to plan another escape.

COMMENTS

That was one really long night for everyone, Sang-mi in particular, and its conclusion left a keen feeling of defeat. It hurt to see all of Sang-mi’s desperate efforts thwarted, but the fact that Sang-mi is still trying, that her spirit isn’t broken, speaks to her incredible character. Even as every attempt failed, I cheered for her when she dived for the van door handle, when she tried to get through to her father, and when she called her father and Disciple Kang out on their distorted prayers to New Heaven’s God.

I think Seo Ye-ji has been absolutely phenomenal at portraying such a different female character from what we’re used to seeing. Sang-mi is serious, caring, and unyielding in the face of what she knows is wrong. It’s heartbreaking to see her in such circumstances, but there’s no doubt in my mind that she’s going to keep trying to not only get herself out, but that she’ll make sure her family gets out with her.

Guseonwon holds true to form here. Their specialty is preying on the weaknesses of others, and when it comes to Sang-mi, the only thing they can get her on is her love for her family. I do wonder how long Disciples Jo and Kang’s patience will hold out, however. Father Baek is the only one who seems to believe that Sang-mi is truly “the one†important to their movement, and I wouldn’t be surprised if either of the disciples broke down and tried to get rid of Sang-mi in an “accident.â€

But in addition to the Guseonwon threat, the show has managed to take an initially sympathetic character, Sang-mi’s dad, and turn him into the most menacing person in Sang-mi’s life. Disciple Jo keeps supplying the gross lechery, but it’s the knowledge that Dad was once a downtrodden man desperate to take care of his family that keeps churning up sympathy in me for a guy who has beaten his child down in front of cops, blamed her for her mother’s illness, and locked her in her room. The scene where Dad installs the padlock was the scariest of the long night, and felt reminiscent of classic horror films like the The Shining and Carrie. Just watching Dad walk around right now is terrifying, and I really hope that he turns back at the last minute before finding Sang-hwan and the boys lurking in his new yard. The boys aren’t ready for an encounter with Dad yet.

I thought Taecyeon got more comfortable as Sang-hwan in the last couple episodes and did a good job in both his dramatic scenes with Sang-mi and his father (“Are you saying it’s my fate to obey everything you say?†is a great line). I think what I’m still struggling with is that he seems unsure what to do with himself physically in scenes, and so when Sang-hwan strides out onto the street to help Sang-mi, it kind of looks like Taecyeon’s just looking for his spot marked on the ground somewhere. I’d love to see him master his body language and pull the whole thing together. And man, Sang-hwan’s father. I’m in support of putting a deer out of its misery, but geez, what does that say for his perspective on his wife? His words at the car about a life worth living were definitely speaking to more than the dying deer, and we’ve gotten hints that his assistant may want to move in as his lover. Sang-hwan is slowly realizing that he can’t just sit back anymore and obey his father, and this time, he might be fighting for his mother’s sake as well.

As for Dong-chul scene at the grave, it hit me right in the gut. I thought I was going to be able to handle his grandmother’s death, but then we saw Dong-chul in prison giving her one last kiss, and I broke. As soon as Dong-chul’s relationship with his grandmother was introduced, it seemed inevitable that it would come to a tragic end. But instead of a conspiracy or a horrible accident, it was her anguish for her grandson and loneliness that finally took her life. For Dong-chul, he can blame absolutely everyone who put him in jail, Sang-hwan included, but number one of his list of blame is himself.

Dong-chul has found a mentor in Joon-gu, and that could be for better or worse. Both men are dealing with dire betrayals and are trying to control short tempers, and we’ll see if Joon-gu is able to model moderation and forgiveness for Dong-chul in the end, or whether he’ll show him what retribution could cost him.

And as for the other boys in the crew, I like how Jung-hoon and Man-hee have turned into the angel and devil on Sang-hwan’s shoulders. Jung-hoon advocates for selfish indifference, while Man-hee has taken on a more quiet and supportive role, turning up to find a solution every time Sang-hwan gets stuck on deciding what to do. I really want Jung-hoon’s streaming channel to play a major part in their takedown of the cult.

And finally… is jjajangmyun actually the secret to bringing down the cult? It’s not just a popular dish in town, it’s made some major assists in the story on both sides. It helped Man-hee figure out where Sang-mi lived, powered Detective Lee’s deduction skills, and gave the boys away as they crept into the Im’s yard. I’m just saying, there might be more to Dong-chul’s favorite dish than meets the eye.

Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching??

 

 

So, what are we all watching this week? What kept you reaching for more (or agonizing when there was no more), and what made you want to throw your remote through the screen? Time to weigh in…

 

javabeans

  • Rescue Me: Just when you think this show is as dark as it’s going to get, they throw in some more horrors to make Sang-mi’s life even more hellish. It’s remarkable to have a character who is literally a victim the whole way through who doesn’t feel like she has victim complex, if we can make that distinction. I find myself admiring her resilience given her situation, and was on the edge of my seat just waiting for the moment when she’d ask Taec to rescue her. It must be because Sang-mi’s victimization doesn’t make her a weak character; rather, the drama clearly shows that she’s strong despite being put into the victim position, and it makes me pull for her so hard.

 

girlfriday

  • Rescue Me: Wow, the buildup to Dad’s fanaticism and Sang-mi’s breakdown was riveting—so well done and so believably terrifying. I don’t know how she’s not catatonic after all of that. I’m just going to sit here biting my nails until Dong-chul starts bustin’ some heads and saves the day. Please hurry!

 

HeadsNo2

  • Rescue Me: The tension! The stakes! Every time Sang-mi tries to escape, my heart jumps into my throat with dread, because you know the punishment will just be worse if/when she fails. All my hope hinges on her not losing her will to survive, even though I wasn’t expecting the show to kill off one of her few remaining reasons to live. Rescue Meis relentlessly dark in a way I wouldn’t have expected from a K-drama—it’s super artfully done, with more of a Chungmuro feel than a drama feel, but I like that OCN is willing to go there and let the show be something truly unique. I’m also struggling to remember the last time I’ve feared a villain as much as I fear Jo Jae-yoon’s sinister congregate. He oozes bad intentions from every pore, and maybe he’s so terrifying because he’s a person that could exist anywhere at any time, but it’s more than just him being bad: He’s unnervingly, all-too-believably evil.

I feel like she's more like in a vegetative state almost - she's alive and stuff but she's not physically or mentally there. So in a way, that deer scene seems to hold a lot more weight than one would expect since I'm thinking SH's father may be referring to the same thing in regards to his wife (and most likely even more so because he would want to move his campaign manager in his new wife spot :/)

ratings 2.2%, i hope it increase for tmr's eps

I might cry if it's related to the cult - Seeing Sang Mi's mother being destroyed by the cult is enough, I would hope there would be no ties in regard to SH's mother as well

DC: What are you saying? The last answer was no. 2. 
SH: It’s number 3. What are you saying? 
DC: I said it was no. 2. 
SH: Is that right? If you do well, what do you intend to do? 
DC: I’m going to become a policeman. 
SH: Police?
DC: I’m going to become a policeman, find my mother and end my grandmother’s suffering. 
SH: You’re a filial son. A filial son. You go ahead and do all that. Hey. Spread your shoulders. 
DC: You spread your shoulders. 
SH: Mine is already spread wide. You have to spread yours. 
DC: Okay, fine. We’ll spread them together. 
SH: Spread whatever. Ahh, it’s hard. 
DC: Ah...


(End flashback. SH goes to the nightclub where DC works, but finds the doors locked.)
SH: Dong Chul! Dong Chul! Are you in there?! It’s Sang Hwan!
(coworker of DC comes to the door)
Coworker: We’re open from 9 o’clock. 
SH: Dong Chul. Is he here?
Coworker: A man who is trying to live quietly, don’t go shaking him up. 
SH: What?
Coworker: Do you know what it’s like in jail? If you go there, what you long for most isn’t jjajjangmyun nor is it chicken. It’s people. Whether that’s a person that you didn’t much like or a person that you were crazy about. It’s people that you long for the most. 
SH: What do you think you know that you’re talking like that?
Coworker: Hey. This neighborhood isn’t as big as Seoul, and no matter how big this land is, how big can it be that you wouldn’t see Dong Chul? (he steps closer to SH) It’s not that he is looking for you. It’s that he is avoiding you. Get it? (goes back inside)
(DC is making deliveries. SH stops at a traffic stop, and looks over to where DC is, but a truck prevents him from seeing DC. DC recognizes the sound of SH’s motorbike, but when he looks up, SH is gone, and he just sees the pool hall where they used to hang out.)
