미스터 하트7 & 8 (THE END)
And just like that, we’ve reached the final two episodes of this adorable BL drama. Can you believe it? We can’t. And what a dramatic last two episodes! Full of everything we could ask for and more! We were on the edge our seats the entire two installments! We will say one thing for sure, W-story can compact a BL romance into 8 episodes and still make it pack a punch. Now onto the show!
WARNING: THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS! IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS YET, DO NOT READ FURTHER!
7화 – We start off this episode with 상하 getting back to his room after his little meeting with the gangsters to find a brand new pair of running shoes. He goes to 진원’s room and jumps right into the bed with him. Yes, we giggled and did a little happy dance at how comfortable the two had become with each other. But then we see what exactly transpired between 상하 and those nasty men.
상하 is forced to race the whole entire marathon. And in fact win. If he wins, his debt will be paid off, and the gangsters are done with him. Which means he has to let the man he loves lose the race that means a lot to him.
As he snuggles 진원 closer, you can see he is unsure of what he wants to do. Meanwhile, 진원 is totally oblivious to all of the inner turmoil, and is loving being the little spoon with the most adorably serene happy face.
Now we cut to race day. They begin the race and quite funnily the gangsters are there to cheer on 상하 with signs saying he needs to repay his debt. Not sure if it was meant to be funny, but the two underlings to the big bad wolf are comedic.
As they run, a nice little montage of 상하 and 진원’s moments together plays, leading up to a day dream 상하 has of 진원 winning the race and them celebrating together. But we are forced back to reality to see that 상하 doesn’t stop running when he is supposed to, indicating to us that he intends to finish the race just like the gangsters want.
More flashbacks occur showing how torn 상하 is about what he needs/wants to do. They are nearing the finish line, 상하 and 진원 are neck and neck, but 상하 pulls ahead and wins, paying off his debt, but losing the man he loves.
Once again, the gangsters had us laughing at how excited they were for him to win. Screaming and cheering, and even lifting the big boss in the air! It was a light moment for a rather heart-breaking scene.
The episode ends with them collapsing after the run and 진원 looks to 상하 with confusion and worry, not hurt or betrayal which left us hopeful for their relationship. And of course that’s where the episode ended. They weren’t about to let us have closure yet. *shakes fists violently at W-story*
OUR FAV SCENE: 상하 climbing into bed with 진원, 상하 not only cuddling, but SPOONING him and 진원 having the goofiest smile that made us squeal with delight.
Our cutest scene: 상하 has a daydream while running that after 진원wins the marathon and he asks for payment of a kiss. 진원 refuses, but then 상하 fakes his injury and ends up getting the kiss anyway. ADORBS!
Our least fav scene: The gangster scenes. Like, we get that these dudes are douchebags, but their method to have 상하 get them the money their owed seemed way too convoluted for our liking.
8화- Every scene of this episode was a pure masterpiece. Yes, we said it. And we mean it. Our boy 상하 pays off his debt to those dirty gangsters. And once again, the goons made us smile as they cheered him on for finally paying their boss. Wishing him well by saying they hope to never see him again.
진원 goes to 상하’s room to talk, but when he enters the code in the keypad it doesn’t open. Thinking he typed it incorrectly he tries again, only to still be locked out. Meaning 상하 changed his door code. 진원 paces in front of the room, waiting for 상하 to come back from wherever he is, or come out of the room.
That’s when we see that 상하 is on a bus going who knows where. At first, we were furious. How dare he leave! But we see he goes to the water, where him and 진원 practiced and as he sits reflecting on what happened he asks is they’re really over. Meanwhile, 진원 is at the spot they had their first heart to heart and responds who is 상하 to end things the way he did.
After screaming his frustrations into the sea, 상하 goes back to school to resume his normal life. Delivering milk early in the morning, like always. That is until he gets to his relaxing spot to see 진원 waiting for him. We screamed, jumped, cried, and all around cheered… and then 진원 decks 상하.
We were pissed. And 상하 asked the question we were thinking. Did he punch him for winning the marathon? And that’s when 진원 delivers what our hearts needed. He frustratingly responds asking if 상하 really thinks he would be that sore of a loser that he couldn’t congratulate him for winning? Surprising us happily he then yells if that is why 상하 changed the code to his room.
We really don’t want to spoil this scene for you guys, because it honestly was so good and heartwarming that you’ll need to watch yourself. We will spoil the fact that we get some really adorable kisses.
The story wraps up with them meeting each other for a first date and how their love will, hopefully, last forever.
OUR FAV SCENE: WE GOT TWO KISSES! And while they were still tame, they were so much more than Where Your Eyes Linger. We loved them. They were sweet and we felt the comfort they finally had being together.
Our cutest scene: When they start walking for their date and 진원 grabs 상하’s hand and then he wraps his arm around to pull 상하 even closer. OOF!
Our least fav scene: THE END. Only because it was just that. The end. We wanted so much more. We wanted to see their first date, their tenth date and the date where 진원 proposes to 상하. Yeah, we planned that all in our head for their happily ever after.
This show, once again, made us thankful that W-story exists and is putting BL content out in Korea. While we love our Thai BL, they pump out the most, their storylines can lack a lot. Their can be massive wholes leaving one confused, and we just accept that as how they operate, and we don’t second guess it anymore. But now that we have a company creating Korean Drama BL’s we get our fill of a solid story line, learning Korean, and seeing cute and handsome men fall in love. 감사합니다 W-story.
