Here we recap and discuss episode 4 of Love Rain. Caution, spoilers below. Don’t read if you don’t want to know what happens.
After a brief video recap of the prior episodes, we see In Ha and Yoon Hee taking a walk together, saying how much they missed each other. They sit down on a bench and Yoon Hee notices In Ha’s busted lip. He tells her not to worry and that his friends will understand eventually. In Ha then asks Yoon Hee if she went to the hospital, but she doesn’t want to worry him and lies and says she didn’t. She apologizes, but In Ha quotes back the line we’ve heard far too many times in this series: love means never having to say you’re sorry. This makes her happy and they pinky-swear to never say sorry to each other. We then have a cryptic voiceover of In Ha saying that he didn’t know at the time, but Yoon Hee was preparing for the end.
They hear music playing nearby and peak inside a building to see some students practicing dancing. Not to be outdone, the two of them start dancing outside as well. In Ha then tells Yoon Hee that he finished the ending for his song and that he wants to sing it for her later. We then cut to In Ha working on the song and we see that the final line is “I love you.”
We now cut to In Sook talking to one of her classmates in the classroom, while Hye Jung just sits at her desk staring ahead. As soon as Yoon Hee walks in, everyone looks at her and goes silent. Looks like the rumor-mill has done its job. She walks up to Hye Jung, but before she can say anything, Hye Jung picks up her things and storms out, with In Sook close behind. You then hear the other students whispering that the rumors are true and calling Yoon Hee a slut for playing around with In Ha and Dong Wook.
Speaking of our C’est La Vie members, Dong Wook finds In Ha and challenges him to another tennis match. We then cut to Hye Jung and In Sook walking when they’re met by Chang Mo who tells them that Dong Wook and In Ha are at the tennis courts. When they get there, In Sook densely asks what the wager is this time, but quickly realizes the idiocy of her question and figures it out. Dong Wook serves the ball, but In Ha doesn’t move and just lets it hit him. He’s clearly pissed and serves again but again, In Ha just stands there.
Meanwhile, Yoon Hee is getting out of class now and she does have a friend left on campus after all as someone comes and tells her about In Ha and Dong Wook. As she gets there, In Sook comments that she has some nerve to show up, but Hye Jung is more annoyed at her for playing dumb when Hye Jung told her about her feelings for In Ha.
Yoon Hee has finally had enough and runs toward In Ha. Chang Mo sees her going to intervene and so runs after Dong Wook. She steps in front of In Ha and tells them to stop, but Dong Wook’s not listening and instead throws his racket away and charges In Ha himself. In Ha tells him he didn’t mean to fight with him, and that he’ll never play a game with Yoon Hee at stake. Dong Wook is about to punch him, but Yoon Hee intervenes once more.
As an angry Dong Wook storms off, Yoon Hee says it’s all her fault that they’re fighting. Eh, let’s call it 70/30 with In Ha taking the majority of the blame for being a royal coward. Hye Jung finally uses her trump card, and the one thing that might actually tear our star-crossed lovers apart, and gives Yoon Hee back her diary, saying that In Ha had it all along. Yoon Hee is crushed, thinking that In Ha isn’t who she thinks he is and is only following what he read in the diary. Hye Jung lashes out at Yoon Hee for breaking up all their friendships, and even tells In Ha to shut it when he tries to stop her. In Ha turns to stop a heartbroken Yoon Hee from slowly walking away, but is stopped by Hye Jung, who decides to confess her own feelings on the spot. She likes him as much as he likes Yoon Hee, so why does she have to be the bad guy?
In Ha eventually does catch up with Yoon Hee, but she’s in no mood to talk to him. The allegiance song starts playing and so Yoon Hee is forced to turn around and face In Ha. He, however, doesn’t seem to care and is staring at her the whole time. Before the pledge finishes, he wraps her in a hug, but Yoon Hee brushes him off and runs away.
