K-Mondays: Reply 1994 Episode 10.

Reply 1994/Answer Me 1994 is now on its 10th episode, and there are quite few progress made in this episode regarding Na Jung's husband. By far, we now know that Kim Jae Joon is the husband's name, and that Kim Sung Gyun (Samcheonpo) is not a candidate anymore. In this (fangirl spazz) post, I will recall some moments in episode 10 that are important for the flow of the story, or just plain fun.


In this episode, we have a glimpse of the husband's back. I have to admit, I screamed right then and there, that it's definitely "CHILBONG!" Considering his choice of hairstyle back in 1994, Chilbong is a strong candidate because of this back view. However, we'll never know, Haitai or Trash might also sport this kind of hairstyle in 2002, or specially just for the wedding. 


In this view, my jaw dropped in shock because I thought that Trash and Binggrae were holding hands. After replaying the scene over and over, I realized that it was just Binggrae's hands.


Now, Na Jung here in 2013 is seen winking at her husband.


Haitai replied with a wink and a finger gun, attempting to answer to Na Jung's wink.


Chilbong or Joon, made an "Aaang" sound in response.


While Binggrae showed kissy lips and Trash winking with a peace sign.


We all know that Samcheonpo is Yoon Jin's husband by this time, and his attempt to wink at Na Jung is then answered by the hilarious goat in the background.


Baseball player Kim Jae Hyeon apparently attended Na Jung's wedding, and left an important message saying that the wife and the groom look alike. So there are two things: Kim Jae Hyeon has bad eye sight or he's telling the truth. You know what I mean?



Na Jung finally confessed to Oppa-ya, Trash, in the morning of the first snow fall of 1994 in Seoul. She didn't want to pressure oppa, so she told him that he shouldn't be burdened with having to answer. Also, Na Jung told Oppa-ya to just hug her in moments like this.


Because of certain circumstances, Na Jung and Trash-oppa ended up watching a movie together. Trash-oppa seemed to enjoy the movie, while Na Jung feels awkward all by herself. Why, Trash-oppa, Why?

Another entertaining scene in this episode is the protest dance. It seems easy and fun to dance, and if protests were as fun as this, I would be in every rally.


As we can see here, Yoon Jin and Samcheonpo's mom are bonding over seashells. Yoon Jin seems to be returning the favor of Samcheonpo's politeness to Yoon Jin's mom back when Yoon Jin's mom visited Seoul. Also, it's the start of a close relationship between these future in-laws.



What?! They kissed again? Yes. This time, Na Jung was conscious. She was indeed conscious because she's awake and not drunk, and she's conscious because she already knows how Chilbong feels about her. Before this romantic kiss at New Year's midnight, Chilbong confessed his feelings for Na Jung. That's why this scene is full of Chilbong-Na Jung feels for the shippers.


When Binggrae and Trash were both left in Seoul, Binggrae took the chance to ask Trash to watch a movie together with him to celebrate the new year. Binggrae plans to watch the movie that Trash and Na Jung watched earlier, but then Trash had already seen it. However, Trash admits that he was not able to catch the story of the movie (despite his laughter, and now we know that it's fake) and that he could watch it again. This proves that Trash-oppa was also affected by Na Jung's confession. Although, if Trash-oppa remains the same in the next episode, I will definitely get off that ship.


Aww. Yoon Jin and Sung Gyun's (Samcheonpo) first kiss. I really like this couple, although I was rooting for Haitai-Yoon Jin at first. I didn't have anything to say about it though when it was revealed that Yoon Jin and Samcheonpo got married, because I think that their love story is really romantic. This first kiss on a boat during the first sunrise of the year is also as romantic as it gets and I'm really happy about it. In K-dramas, you don't usually get a romantic first kiss because it's usually coerced, without the consent of the female (commonly). Yoon Jin's and Samcheonpo's, however, was a product of both their desire to kiss each other, with mutual feelings. (Ahh so romantic, I can't)


What to look forward to on the next episode? Yoon Jin's hairstyle change! Is this because she's a woman who's in love now? We'll find out on the next episode. The preview was quite confusing so I will not talk about it.


In the preview, we see that Haitai is still in the running (or that's what the writer wants us to feel or see). Now, which ship am I really sailing? At first, I was an extreme Najung-Trash shipper. However, when Chilbong showed his cute personality (and hot body hahaha) and rapport with Na Jung, I immediately shipped both. It became hard to choose between the two because I feel like the writers are toying with our feelings because both are equally deserving. However, I said before in this post that if Trash-oppa will not do anything about Na Jung's confession, then I will most likely get off that ship. In Haitai's case, the show hasn't showed much Haitai-Na Jung romantic interaction (but in the preview for the next episode, there might be something) so I still am not convinced that Haitai is a viable option as Na Jung's future husband. Nevertheless, I still love this drama series. The concept really fits my taste and I just hope that I will not be disappointed.
