Best K-Drama Moments: May Week #5 - Mask, Producer, Orange Marmalade, Who Are You: School 2015 + Warm and Cozy

Mask
He kills her.

Although Mask just entered the weekly lineup, one of its compelling scenes has shot up to our top spot. Our lead, Min Woo, is a tortured man with memory lapses, and one takes place when his fiancee is killed. Did he do it? He doesn't know and the security tape was curiously erased at that crucial moment, so he relies on hypnosis to regain his memory, and it's ugly. Do we really believe that the hero is a murderer? Not in a million years, but this scene of Min Woo strangling Eun Ha to death has me hooked.


Producer
Loose lips sink ships.

After weeks of tension, Joon Mo learns the truth. Several episodes ago, alcohol made Ye Jin aware of her feelings when a drunken Joon Mo kissed her. Now, alcohol has loosened her tongue and Joon Mo not only becomes aware that he kissed her, but that she likes him. I see the pitfalls of a platonic relationship possibly turning into something else when Ye Jin laments that now that she likes him, she has lost her friend; she doesn't have anyone to talk to about her crush. The hearts of everyone ached at her pain.


Orange Marmalade
It has to be you.

The lighthouse that brought them together has become a place of heartbreak for Jae Min and Ma Ri as she makes a jarring confession: she is a vampire, the very thing he hates. She tells she's sorry, but Jae Min is taken aback at how easy her apology comes. It's a penetrating scene as he pleads for her to deny the truth, and he will still believe her. However, Ma Ri can't lie to him anymore, and again, she tells him she's sorry. The moment is poignant, but it escalates into a dangerous one: as Ma Ri steps away from him, she almost falls over the railing. When Jae Min swings her around to safety, he instantly finds himself dangling over the edge, clutching onto a chain. Lightning strikes the chain, rendering him unconscious and he crashes into the water. As he descends into the sea, we hear his thoughts: it doesn't matter if she's a vampire or not, but for him, Ma Ri is still the one. He likes her. Fortunately, Ma Ri is able to rescue him and we thought they would reconcile as he had a chance to give her his acceptance. All hope is dashed though, as he wakes up with no memory of her.

Jae Min + Ma Ri.
Who Are You: School 2015
That is an OMG.

Eun Byul's passing has radically changed the life of her younger sister, Eun Bi, as well as broken the hearts of some. However, the closing scene of episode 10 has us in for an exciting cliffhanger: Eun Byul visiting her ashes. She is alive like many of us have wished and anticipated. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to see what happened next.

Eun Byul.
Warm and Cozy
Almost is not enough.

Gun Woo uses Jung Joo and stages a fake kiss to make Ji Won jealous. Jung Joo actually closes her eyes, expecting to be kissed, and Ji Won, believing the scene, leaves in a snit. After a squabble, Jung Joo tells Gun Woo not to use her again or else, she might really fall for him. Suddenly, she puts her hands on his shoulders, and he bits his lips shut as her face leans closer and close to his, but... Instead, she knees his thigh. And Gun Woo better man up to his feelings for her sooner or later, otherwise, I'll be the one giving him a kick.
