We're on the last of the six cards and to be honest, this episode was the most let down for me. I was looking forward to Lee Jong Suk (right after W ended) but I felt this was lacking in so many parts. For starters, the previous five guys already have a background connection with Soo Jin. They already knew her prior to the meeting and they have feelings for her. But Jong Suk didn't have any of those, it was just as he is, a celebrity shooting a TV commercial with a normal person.
Soo Jin being star-struck couldn't believe her eyes that she would be starring in a commercial with Jong Suk.
The director asks her if she was nervous and if she was, they could replace her with someone else. Jong Suk tells the director to give Soo Jin a chance. It is pretty interesting to see how directors seem to take nicely to celebrities, I wonder if in real life they really do give a lot of leverage because they are famous people...
The shooting begins and Soo Jin fumbles a lot. The director is exasperated yelling cut cut!! Haha, poor Soo Jin. I guess anyone would be nervous being their first time in front of a camera crew...
Soo Jin keeps apologising and the director wants to replace her. Jong Suk suggests the director to take a break and he turns to Soo Jin asking her if they could talk for a second.
Jong Suk takes Soo Jin aside and treats her to a cup of coffee. Meanwhile thoughts ran wild in Soo Jin's mind and she psyches herself up to not act foolishly in front of Jong Suk. She crosses her legs and says thank you in English for the coffee.
Mildly amused, Jong Suk asks Soo Jin if she was in character already. He suggests her to get to know him better so she won't be too nervous. Soo Jin's thoughts continued as she wished that she could date him in real life. I know luv! A lot of girls wish that too! Haha!
Soo Jin braves up and decides to give Jong Suk her number. I think he was rather surprised but still amused. He must really enjoyed acting this episode, he can play his usual cheeky charming self... :D
The duo goes back to the set and slays it. Hurrah! Even the director was so happy...
So happy that he suggest to include the initially omitted scene... Yes, the kissing scene! Omo! Soo Jin starts to panic a bit and asks Jong Suk if the kiss would be a fake kiss... Jong Suk's reply was pretty straight forward, a kiss while acting is just a kiss. Hmm, is that how he treats those steamy kisses in W??!! I wonder...Haha!
Cameras rolling... Action! The kiss scene act 1! Jong Suk drops the bombshell when he says it's not a fake kiss... Hoho... :D
Hmm, alas Soo Jin goes back to reality when they were about to kiss... Soo Jin stares at Jong Suk's card. Then one of her two other colleagues asked for a swap of shift days so she can go on a date with her boyfriend. What?! How is that possible she has a bf and our cutesy Soo Jin has none?! :( Boo... Soo Jin retorts that in fact she has six boyfriends!
Poor Soo Jin goes off to cry in the corner... Aww... I feel so sad for her there... But then suddenly someone taps on her shoulder... Why yes, it's the seraphim! Choi Ji Woo...
She tells Soo Jin it's not over yet. Soo Jin needs to pick one of the six celebrities and she will send her back to the moment where they were about to kiss. But she can only choose one... Ottoke!
Lee Jong Suk ending
Was it a real kiss?! Well, almost! ;D When Jong Suk leaned in for the kiss, the director yelled cut!! Haha!! It was a good take and everyone congratulates them for a job well done. It was a cute moment when Soo Jin insists that they haven't kissed yet and Jong Suk asked her if she was looking forward to it... XD
It ends with Jong Suk leaving the set and as he was leaving, he looked back at Soo Jin and motioned that he will be calling her. Aww, that would be nice!
I read some comments that said this episode is the most realistic. I do agree as I am doing this review and re-watching it again. In fact, Soo Jin could actually pick Jong Suk because she is herself here (as a Lotte employee) and Jong Suk is himself as well. This would probably work out as he has her number and then can go out on a date sometime. :D
I think Lotte should have included an episode with all the various endings together right after this Jong Suk episode. The story doesn't flow from this episode to the next with the bonus card of Lee Min Ho. Especially with the question posed by Choi Ji Woo to Soo Jin that she can only pick one guy. They could have made Soo Jin ponder on who to choose and then flash all the various endings. I guess Lotte expected people to view the various endings on their YouTube channel rather than another 10 minute episode.
With that said, let's see what the bonus card (and also the last episode) holds for Soo Jin...
