My goodness, Inspector Han. It was as if you worked with your partner for 10 years. You’re practically a native Manyang resident now.
This is one of those scenes that has its own room in my head.
Ju-won doesn’t take too well to unplanned events. He shows a marked preference for careful and considered planning, and while he can improvise when necessary, it never comes naturally.
Its not surprising that he literally freezes for a moment. I mean look at his jaw trembling. And then a lifetime of trained reflexes kick in and he just fucking snaps. I’m not saying he wouldn’t have defended the person if it was anyone else but this is Dong-sik. At this point in the series his emotions toward him are complicated but this is just after the two worked seamlessly to catch Jin-mook. No wonder he blew off.
Again a repressed control-freak man like Ju-won rarely lets his emotions take over because its flat-out embarrassing and shameful and vulnerable. And Ju-won. Hates. Vulnerability. Then too, Dong-sik manages to push his buttons by his mere presence
