Sometimes it really takes a life and death situation before we realize the importance of someone's existence in our lives and that's proven in this episode of Tale Of The Nine Tailed. Lee Rang and Lee Yeon finally rekindled their brotherhood after a long time. The grudge and loneliness that Lee Rang kept to his heart for hundred years vanished as Lee Yeon proved his brotherly love and care for him while being trapped in the Forest Of The Starved. My heart is finally at ease knowing that Lee Rang's sufferings ended and he has found a reason to live again. Thank goodness Lee Yeon for once didn't act stubborn, keeping mum about the whole truth while his brother curse him to death, and finally act and talk like a real brother to him.
All this time I thought that Lee Yeon's going to be the character that I'll hate just because he's selfishly choosing his first love all this time for the sake of just being in love. From the previous episodes the love story of Lee Yeon and Ji-Ah/Ah-Eum is conveyed as something shallow. There's just no strong connection or build up between that two from previous episodes, I mean, there are lots of it but the quantity is pointless if there's just no impact at all. (at least for me) Maybe I have expected too much about their love history but whatever the story is feeding us right now is way below that high expectation. I understand that they love each other, Lee Yeon waited for her reincarnation for such a long time but when they reconnected in the modern world, it feels like they do not have the emotion that they actually wanted to stay together forever after hundreds of years. But now since we got some life and death situation and the waiting point of view is reversed with Ji-Ah waiting for Lee Yeon to come back, I could say that these two finally earned a tiny bit of my acceptance towards their love story. But it still doesn't change my belief that Lee Dong Wook and Jo Bo Ah are best in their own individual scenes than being together. That's just my two cents.
Also may I just point out how much my admiration towards Lee Yeon declined so miserably before because of that shallow love story (lol) but that admiration went up again because he's so fcking awesome in this episode. I mean, both Lee Rang and Ji Ah got saved all because of him. He got to end that witch Spirit Of Darkness' existence, was able to find Imoogi through her and even challenged him! That's what I've been expecting from him as a mountain spirit and as a nine tailed fox, like finally! He acted those two titles for once!
Ji-Ah and her parents finally reunited, and that made me teared up! From the very beginning we all know how much Ji-Ah really longed for them, looked for them, the build up of loneliness from that was there! That's why I could connect to what the characters' emotions expressed, especially Ji-Ah's, when they finally reunited even if it wasn't the reality. It was a great scene!
