ANGEL EYES EPISODE 13
This is a particularly grim episode. The drama just can't leave these kids happy, can it? You knew they were going to find out about everything, but it's still hard to watch two people hurt so much.
Dong Joo goes to speak with Director Yoon. He struggles to ask him about the death of his mother, but he can't do it in the end. Meanwhile Woo Chul is in a coma, recovering in the hospital, which Young Ji is not happy to see as she wants him dead. Eventually, Woo Chul wakes up (yes!) and figures out he must have gotten to the truth if someone tried to take him out (double yes!). Dong Joo goes through the episode with a frown on his face, dodging people's questions about whether he was all right. He focuses his efforts on convincing Soo Wan to move to America. Meanwhile, Ji Woon remembers hearing Dr. Choi's conversation with Dong Joo about his mother's death, and Ji Woon talks to his mother about it. She tells him Director Yoon and Soo Wan are not good people, and so she and her son shouldn't be involved with them (the irony). Dong Joo takes Soo Wan out to a vacation house to try and forget things. Once they're back in town, Dong Joo goes to Woo Chul's bedside and tells him he wants to close the hit and run case. Min Soo gives Soo Wan a box with all the paperwork on the case, and Soo Wan, inside Dong Joo's office reaches into the box... Dong Joo comes back to find the box on his desk, and he calls Soo Wan, who doesn't answer. She's busy pondering some of the paperwork: an official finding of medical corruption, Jung Hwa dying of unnatural causes, and a notice of corneal implantation.
And what 'Angel Eyes' would be complete without at least one Teddy scene? Here, Hye Joo (or Ellie) falls while hiking and sprains her ankle. She calls the rescue workers and Teddy shows he's not up to the task of carrying the stretcher. Woon Chan is bloody amazing here. He not only simply hikes with her on his back, but descends the clip at such a rapid pace that Hye Joo squeals in fright. He doesn't lose his footing once, and while it's probably a stunt double, the character is awesome. Three cheers for bosses who have high expectations especially for themselves!
"Whoa! So Orange Caramel was on 'Immortal Song 2'? And I missed it?" says his face expression.
Some of you have complained about Teddy's acting, and I don't really have a problem with it. I think his voice is funny, and he's got this way about him that makes you want to laugh most times. And come to think of it, maybe his voice is funny because he can't act. I definitely don't buy him as an American because his English is awful. I've spent enough time around first generation Americans with parents from around the globe to know what they sound like. In early childhood they develop an accent from their parents. That accent goes away as they hit junior high and high school, and they settle into the familiar conversational patterns of their peers. But the writers are smart enough to know his accent sounds wrong, so they make fun of it in Episode 3, I think, when Teddy first shows up. He can't help it, anyway.
It seems Soo Wan has found out about the transplant and the fact that there's something fishy about Jung Hwa's death. I wonder how all that will play out? She certainly doesn't look like someone who's happy about it.

They do seem to have a particular problem with honesty in this series: Dong Joo cloaks his identity from Soo Wan when he first arrives; Director Yoon and Young Ji bury their complicity in Jung Hwa's death; Woon Chan conceals mom's death from Jin Mo; Director Yoon hides Dong Joo's correspondence from Soo Wan when our hero was in America; and the whole time, Soo Wan does not know her corneal donor. I can understand trying to spare someone's feelings, but when they learn the truth they will feel betrayed.
Despite the gloom, there is are a few rays of light. Hye Joo's mishap was less than serious, and our main couple's little vacation was cute. They have some great onscreen chemistry, and we see them here all teasing and grins. There is a touching scene in which he reads to her, and she admits that she had him read books aloud that she'd already read in braille just to hear his voice. Those moments, aigoo! That's the kind of thing that keeps me tuned in week after week.
They must have really wanted that lamp in the shot...
It seems like everyone knows just about everything. Conspiracies are coming to light, but it seems like Director Yoon is paying for it. Despite everything, I still like the guy. His intentions seems like they're always good, even if the lengths he takes are bad. The only thing he wanted was the best for his kids, and it seems like he's fouled things up too much. I can't wait for Young Ji to go down, too -- it seems like Ji Woon is shocked by what comes out of her mouth most of the time, and our couple might find an unlikely ally from that corner.
'Angel Eyes' is really heating up. I just can't wait to find out how all this turns out!
