EX-10.26 6 bc20201231ex1026.htm 2021 STOCK SETTLED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT Document
2021 Stock-Settled Restricted Stock Unit Grant Terms and Conditions
Pursuant to the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
Purpose To encourage retention of key managers so as to support the execution of business strategies in order to encourage and reward the creation of sustainable, long-term shareholder value and achieve future goals. Any capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan.
Restricted Stock Units Restricted Stock Units valued on the same basis as Brunswick Corporation ("Brunswick") common stock ("Stock") where one unit equals one share. Dividend equivalents will be reinvested in additional Restricted Stock Units, which will be subject to the same vesting conditions applicable to (and settled at the same time as) the underlying Restricted Stock Units. There are no voting rights or any other rights as a stockholder attached to Restricted Stock Units.
Grant Date ____________, 2021
Award ____________ Restricted Stock Units.
Normal Vesting Restricted Stock Units will vest and be distributed three years after the Grant Date, subject to the Grantee's continued employment through such date.
Vesting Upon Retirement (as defined below)
•Upon a termination of employment due to Retirement (as defined below) on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and prior to a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), all of the award will become fully vested as of the date of Retirement and be distributed as of the third anniversary of the Grant Date.
•Upon a termination of employment due to Retirement prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and prior to a Change in Control, a pro-rata portion of the award will be vested as of the date of Retirement and be distributed as of the third anniversary of the Grant Date. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a "pro-rata portion" will mean the product of (i) the number of restricted stock units awarded that would have vested on the normal vesting date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed since January 1 of the year of grant through the date of termination of the Grantee's employment, provided such number does not exceed 365, and the denominator of which is 365
•The award shall be forfeited in its entirety upon a termination for Cause, even if the Grantee would otherwise be eligible for Retirement.
Prorated Vesting Upon Involuntary Termination Without Cause If the Grantee's employment is terminated by Brunswick for a reason other than Cause or Permanent Disability, and the Grantee is not eligible for Retirement, a pro-rata portion of the award will be vested as of the date of such termination of employment and be distributed as of the third anniversary of the Grant Date. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a "pro-rata portion" will mean the product of (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded that would have vested on the normal vesting date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed since the Grant through the date of termination of the Grantee's employment, and the denominator of which is 1,095.
Vesting Upon Death or Permanent Disability
In the case of a termination of employment due to death or a Permanent Disability, the award will become fully vested and distributed as of the date of such death or Permanent Disability.
Vesting Upon Termination After Change in Control
•If the award is effectively assumed or continued by the surviving or acquiring corporation in a Change in Control and (i) the Grantee's employment terminates due to Retirement (and not for Cause or due to Permanent Disability), (ii) Brunswick terminates the Grantee's employment without Cause or (iii) the Grantee resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), then in each case all of the award will be vested and distributed as of the date of such termination of employment; provided, however, that if the award is considered "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A with respect to the Grantee and (A) the Change in Control was not a "change in control event" within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A or (B) the termination of employment occurred more than two years following the occurrence of the "change in control event," then the vested award shall be distributed three years after the Grant Date
•If the award is not effectively assumed or continued by the surviving or acquiring corporation in a Change in Control, the award shall vest in full and be distributed as of the date of the Change in Control; provided, however, that if the award is considered "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A with respect to the Grantee and the Change in Control was not a "change in control event" within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A or to the extent distribution would be impermissible under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, then the vested award shall be distributed three years after the Grant Date.
•Determinations as to whether the award has been effectively assumed or continued by the surviving or acquiring corporation shall be made by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, as constituted prior to the Change in Control.
Forfeiture Upon Termination Except as otherwise provided herein, Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited upon a termination of employment prior to vesting.
Timing and Form of Distribution Upon distribution, shares will be deposited to Grantee's brokerage account on record with Shareholder Services.
Distributions will occur as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days after the distribution date provided above, except that if the Grantee is a "specified employee" (as such term is defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A) as of the date of his or her "separation from service" (as such term is defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A), then to the extent any amount to be distributed in connection with the settlement of the award is payable upon the Grantee's "separation from service" and constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the distribution will not be made before 6 months after separation from service (or, if earlier, death).
For those becoming eligible for Retirement or whose employment is terminated by Brunswick for a reason other than Cause or Permanent Disability prior to the year of a scheduled distribution, tax withholding liability to meet required FICA must be paid via payroll or participant check by the end of the year of becoming eligible for Retirement or terminating employment, as the case may be, except that the FICA taxes on amounts vesting during the first December after grant for those who have become eligible for Retirement during the year of grant will be collected during the next calendar quarter. Subsequent Federal, state and local income tax withholding must be paid via share reduction upon distribution.
For all others, tax withholding liability (to meet required FICA, Federal, state, and local withholding) must be paid via share reduction upon distribution.
"Cause" shall mean the Grantee's willful misconduct in the performance of his or her duties.
"Good Reason" shall have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement, if any, between the Grantee and Brunswick as in effect on the Grant Date, provided that if the Grantee is not a party to an employment agreement that contains such definition, then Good Reason means the occurrence of any of the following events without the Grantee's express written consent: (a) a material breach by Brunswick of any provision of this Agreement; (b) Brunswick's failure to pay any portion of Grantee's compensation when due or to include Grantee in any bonus or incentive plan that applies to similarly situated employees of Brunswick; (c) Brunswick's failure to provide, or continue to provide, Grantee with either the perquisites or employee health and welfare benefits (including, without limitation, life insurance, medical, dental, vision, long-term disability and similar benefits), generally provided to similarly situated employees of Brunswick; (d) a Reduction in Authority or Responsibility of the Grantee (as defined below); (e) a Reduction in Compensation (as defined below); and (f) a Business Relocation Beyond a Reasonable Commuting Distance (as defined below); provided, however, that the occurrence of any such condition shall not constitute Good Reason unless (x) the Grantee provides written notice to Brunswick of the existence of such condition not later than 60 days after the Grantee knows or reasonably should know of the existence of such condition, (y) Brunswick fails to remedy such condition within 30 days after receipt of such notice and (z) Grantee resigns due to the existence of such condition within 60 days after the expiration of the remedial period described in clause (y) hereof. For purposes of this definition
Definitions, Continued
•Whether a Reduction in Authority or Responsibility of the Grantee has occurred shall be determined in accordance with the criteria set forth below in the definition of Reduction in Authority or Responsibility; provided, however, that (A) a change in the Grantee's reporting relationship to another employee who is within the same reporting level (as that term is used in Brunswick's Delegation of Authority Policy or any successor policy); or (B) a reduction in the Grantee's business unit's budget or a reduction in the Grantee's business unit's head count or number of direct reports, by themselves, shall not constitute Good Reason.
•"Reduction in Authority or Responsibility" shall mean the assignment to the Grantee of any duties that are materially inconsistent in any respect with the Grantee's position (which may include status, offices, titles, and reporting requirements), authority, duties, or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such assignment. It is intended by this definition that a Change in Control by itself, absent a Reduction in Authority or Responsibility as described above, will not constitute Good Reason.
•"Reduction in Compensation" shall mean (i) a reduction in the Grantee's total annual compensation (defined as the sum of the Grantee's base salary and target annual bonus) for any calendar or fiscal year, as applicable, to an amount that is less than the Grantee's total annual compensation in effect immediately prior to such reduction, (ii) the elimination of any Brunswick incentive compensation plan in which Grantee is a participant without the adoption of a substantially comparable replacement plan, or (iii) the failure to provide Grantee with equity compensation opportunities or long-term cash incentive compensation opportunities that have a value that is substantially comparable to the value of the equity compensation opportunities provided to the Grantee immediately prior to the Change in Control.
•"Business Relocation Beyond a Reasonable Commuting Distance" shall mean that, as a result of either a relocation of Brunswick or a reassignment of the Grantee, a change occurs in the Grantee's principal work location to a location that (i) is more than fifty (50) highway miles from the Grantee's principal work location immediately prior to the relocation, and (ii) increases the Grantee's commuting distance in highway mileage.
"Permanent Disability" means the Grantee is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
"Retirement" shall mean that the Grantee's employment terminates for a reason other than Cause on or after the date on which either (i) the Grantee has either attained age 62, provided that for purposes of age 62, participant must have at least 3 years of continuous service from their latest hire date or (ii) the sum of the Grantee's age plus years of continuous service from his or her latest hire date equals 70 or more. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these terms and conditions, for purposes of applying the favorable Retirement vesting terms set forth herein to grants made to residents of the European Union, the Grantee shall be deemed to be eligible for Retirement if, and only if, the Grantee has attained the retirement date specified in the retirement plan in which such Grantee participates.
Additional Terms and Conditions This award is subject to the terms of the Plan. The Plan and these Terms and Conditions together constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter specifically addressed herein. To the extent any provision herein conflicts with the Plan, the Plan shall govern. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board administers the Plan. The Committee may interpret the Plan and adopt, amend and rescind administrative guidelines and other rules as deemed appropriate. Committee determinations are conclusive and binding on all interested parties.
This award and any shares delivered pursuant to this award are subject to forfeiture, recovery by Brunswick or other action pursuant to any clawback or recoupment policy which Brunswick may adopt from time to time, including without limitation any such policy which Brunswick may be required to adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Brunswick shall have the right to offset from any amount distributable hereunder any amount that the Grantee owes to Brunswick or any affiliate thereof without the consent of the Grantee (or his or her beneficiary, in the event of the Grantee's death).
The grant of this award does not guarantee the Grantee the right to or expectation of any future awards under the Plan or any future incentive plan adopted by Brunswick, and the value of the Restricted Stock Units is not part of his or her normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance or other similar employee benefit.
The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time. The Plan, these Terms and Conditions, and the Restricted Stock Units will be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction.
Nothing contained in these Terms and Conditions or the Plan constitutes or is intended to create a contract of continued employment. Employment is at-will and may be terminated by either the employee or Brunswick (including affiliates) for any reason at any time.

The Philippine contact center industry is hosting 150 Fortune 500 investors who are in the country for the 11th International Contact Center Conference and Expo (ICCCE).
Speakers from Fortune 500 companies and world-famous companies such as Accenture, EGS, Frost & Sullivan, among others, have been brought in by the Contact Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP).
"The Philippines continues to be the most preferred offshore destination worldwide. Despite the challenges, the preference is still the Philippines for voice, as a compelling value proposition differentiated from any other market out there," says Benedict Hernanez, president of CCAP.
The ICCCE is touted as the largest contact center industry event by size and scope and is the leading learning and networking event of the Philippine contact center industry.
The conference with the theme "Contact Islands: Opportunities in the Ultimate Customer Experience Paradise" brings together delegates from different parts of the world to share insights on innovation and excellence towards genuine service.
Discussions will focus on the "Digital Phenomenon" and how the industry uses it to its advantage. Other topics cover cover location strategies, operations, human resources, and technology, among others.
The CCAP president is expected to present the industry report which will highlight all the pertinent achievements and the specific challenges in the contact center industry field.
According to the CCAP, the Philippine IT-BPM industry has grown significantly in the last five years, not just in terms of employees, but also in revenue. The Central Bank predicts that by 2017, the IT-BPM (Information Technology and Business Process Management will be the Philippine's largest source of income. From 525,000 employees in 2010 and $8.9 billion in revenue to an expected 1.3 million jobs and over $25 billion in revenue for 2016, it is to date, the most lucrative and fastest growing industry in the Philippines.


Many problems in statistics, finance, biology, pharmacology, physics, mathematics, economics, and chemistry involve determination of the global minimum of multidimensional functions. R packages for different stochastic methods such as genetic algorithms and differential evolution have been developed and successfully used in the R community. Based on Tsallis statistics, the R package GenSA was developed for generalized simulated annealing to process complicated non-linear objective functions with a large number of local minima. In this paper we provide a brief introduction to the R package and demonstrate its utility by solving a non-convex portfolio optimization problem in finance and the Thomson problem in physics. GenSA is useful and can serve as a complementary tool to, rather than a replacement for, other widely used R packages for optimization.


China based startup OnePlus has announced that it will begin manufacturing devices locally in partnership with Foxconn .
The partnership was formally announced by Pete Lau , founder & CEO, OnePlus and Vikas Agarwal who is general manager – India, OnePlus in the presence of prominent officials from the Andhra Pradesh government.
OnePlus smartphones will be locally made in India at Foxconn's Rising Stars factory in Andhra Pradesh by the end of 2015.
Foxconn, which manufactures Apple devices in China, has also signed up to build products for Asus and Xiaomi.
"Today is a big day for us. Producing smartphones in India is one of the most important decisions that we have made so far at OnePlus, and we are thankful to the Government of Andhra Pradesh and Foxconn for helping us make this happen. India being one of our biggest markets worldwide, we are committed to a long term sustainable growth path. This move will strengthen our presence and help us step up momentum in India," Pete Lau said.
OnePlus' decision to make in India will help the company to locally fulfill the demand for OnePlus' smartphones in India in the future.
Manufacturing devices locally will help the company avoid some import duties.OnePlus India general manager Vikas Agarwal said that it's likely that those savings could translate to lower prices for customers in India in the near future, as well as quicker availability after devices are launched.
A major benifit from this initiative is that it will also generate direct employment for over 1,000 people on a full time basis, the company informed. This will in turn boost Make in India, prompting more and more companies to join the initiative in future.
Also India is expected to overtake the US in 2017 to become the world's second largest smartphone market after China.


When, as young teenager, I stood in early spring on a windswept hillside above Baker Beach in San Francisco and discovered a single bush of a sprawling, nearly prostrate manzanita—I had no idea that I was looking at the only surviving individual of its kind. I enjoyed finding it, but failed to understand that it was one of many kinds of organisms on the brink of extinction. To me, plants and animals were where they were, farms were in their place, and cities were cities—that was that. There were about 11 million people living in California, 158 million in the United States., and 2.6 billion in the entire world. Now the corresponding figures are 38 million in California, 320 million in the United States, and 7.2 billion worldwide. Consumption levels have risen even more rapidly than population levels, and we are using our resources much faster than they can be replenished, thus driving species to extinction at an ever-increasing rate. The problem of extinction has become obvious to everyone who cares!
In the 1960s, the need for conservation started to rise in our collective consciousness, and we began to understand that we were dealing with a problem that would ultimately affect us all. By the early 1970s, this realization led to the enactment of basic environmental legislation by Congress, and its signing into law by President Nixon. Among these laws, the Endangered Species Act stands out as being of fundamental importance, providing a means for federal registration of species on the brink of extinction, and then mandating the formulation of plans to protect them. The Act remains unique globally.
Throughout the world, species are now disappearing at thousands of times the historical rate; as many as half of them may be gone by the year 2100. In the United States, however, the Endangered Species Act, along with our other fundamental environmental legislation, is helping to protect many species. We base our livelihood on biological species—obtaining all of our food, most of our medicines, our ecological services of incalculable value, and the beauty that enriches our lives—from the species that surround us. Throwing them away in exchange for an explosively growing population, impossibly high demands for consumption, and our continuing use of destructive technologies is not only morally indefensible, it is incredibly stupid.
Will our domestic conservation programs survive the pressures of the future? We do not know, but we do know that we will be able to continue to save only what we have already saved. Our strong support of the Endangered Species Act will allow children to continue to enjoy the personal wonder of their own discoveries in nature, and it will help us all survive so that we may enjoy the wonderful gifts that our civilization has produced in ways that can be maintained and improved forever.

Biden tests negative for COVID-19 after recent exposure
By Tamara Keith
Published December 22, 2021 at 12:24 PM EST
Patrick Semansky
President Joe Biden listens during a meeting with his task force on supply chain issues on Wednesday.
President Biden has tested negative for COVID-19, the White House said.
The PCR test was done after a White House staff member — who had flown with Biden on Air Force One on Friday — tested positive for COVID on Monday. The staff member, who was fully vaccinated and boosted, experienced symptoms on Sunday. Biden had tested negative on Sunday and Monday, but was tested again on Wednesday as a precaution.
The results come the day after Biden talked about his latest plans for the highly contagious omicron variant — and tried to reassure vaccinated people about breakthrough cases.
"Because omicron spreads so easily, we'll see some fully vaccinated people get COVID, potentially in large numbers," Biden said. "There will be positive cases in every office, even here in the White House."
The White House has rigorous procedures in place to try to prevent the spread of COVID on its campus, where the president lives and where hundreds of people work each day. Biden is regularly tested for the virus. People who travel with him or who are scheduled to be in meetings with him are tested beforehand.
After Thanksgiving, when Biden's voice was noticeably hoarse, his physician gave him a battery of tests to determine he really had just caught a cold. Biden blamed his young grandson Beau, who brought both germs and kisses to the family's gathering in Nantucket. The White House released a memo from the president's doctor verifying that he didn't have COVID.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had COVID in October, making her the highest-ranking White House official to publicly reveal a case. There have been other cases at the White House as well, but the administration does not publicly discuss them.

Was going to post today...but we have a huge thunderstorm coming. Will probably have no electricity. Wish you the best...and see you tomorrow.
It's been a super busy week, trips to the vet (only checkups!!) , termite inspection (don't have any) and many trips to the kennels and it's Sunday already!!! So, top of the blog is a big thanks to my friend , Becks. Not only has she been helping Husky Haven, she's been helping out another rescue , their director is in the hospital, and she's been out me helping with kennel dogs a couple of days a week!!! She works a regular job , too!!! Thanks girl, can't do it without you!!!
A super cool thing happened today.....FiveSibes: Siberian Husky News and Reviews is featuring my blog !!!! Please go to facebook and Like them!!! They used the blog post with Iniki.....remember we still need help with her, go to Husky Haven and please donate, thanks!!!
So I said I would post some very happy things....here we go!!!
I am so excited to see my foster from last year Meeshka. She will be coming to Pet Expo on April 13th at Reliant, that's the show last year that her Mom and Dad first laid eyes on her, and fell in love!!! She won Pet of the Month award at her new home...I've included a picture and, well , I'll just let her tell you.
My name is Meeshka and I am a miniature Siberian Husky. My family adopted me almost a year ago after being found by the Pet Police abandoned and wandering the streets. Husky Haven a Rescue organization fostered me until the day my new Mommy spotted me at a Rescue event and gave me this great place to live. If you wonder why I dressed this way my parents say I am their "Little Angel" so it made sense to wear this for Halloween.
If you see me in the hallways please don't be alarmed by my size or markings, I am very friendly and sometimes overly excited but really just want to say HI! Thank you for the award, I hope it comes with treats.
See you soon , baby girl!!!
I wanted to do an update on Sassy......she was the tiny girl, 9 pounds, that was covered in mange. I'm happy to report that she is doing great and is having a wonderful time at her foster home, thanks Charlene!!!
As you can see she is having fun with her toys!!!
I have a ton of other updates....but got to go to a petsitting job.
So the other day I talked about fostering. I have also featured many of our foster homes and the wonderful job they do taking care of Husky Haven dogs. So today I am highlighting another one of our fosters with a very special dog, Iniki.
Pretty girl, don't you think!!!!!
She had to have her leg amputated up to her thigh. I know it looks horrible, and it is, but it was the only way to save her life. The crazy thing is that as soon as she went home with Denise, she wanted to play with their dogs....of course she can't right now, she needs to rest and get well, but you would never know from her demeanor that anything had ever happened. I know you can't tell well from the pictures, but she is small and painfully skinny at only 24 pounds!!! Of course, she is also heartworm positive and her fur is very orange from exposure....someone treated her very badly.
Jack and Iniki waiting for a treat!!!!!
Husky Haven has had their share of very terribly treated dogs this last year, with Trooper, Murray and now Iniki. Trooper is doing very well, in fact I will be taking a video of him soon. Murray, well you know he has a long way to go as does Iniki. So, I'll do what I always do and ask for any donations you can spare for any of these dogs, especially Murray and Iniki. Please go to Husky Haven , click the PayPal and help in any way you can......thank you!!!
Some really happy endings next time, I promise.
He is doing great considering, it's basically a waiting game with him.
I just wanted to give my thoughts on fostering a dog. When I first started working rescue over five years ago I had never had a dog. I didn't know the first thing about dogs or rescue.A few months after I adopted Lizzy our director asked me if I'd consider fostering a dog. I was OK with giving a check, but didn't really know if I wanted to bring another dog into my home at that time. I told her OK , and my first foster was Atlas. He walked into my house and proceeded to pee on my wall and carpet. I figured I would bring him right back, but spent a day thinking about that. I realized he hadn't spent much time in a home......he needed me to provide structure and rules. I did that for him and he went to a wonderful forever home. I took TJ and Tank as my dogs but continued to take fosters. If you say that's too much trouble, I am single and usually have four dogs at my house.....it's not too much trouble. You provide something they can't get at rescue, a home environment. You teach them the things they will need to move on to their new permanent home. I have had many fosters over the years and the most rewarding thing is getting notes and pictures from their new family. Sometimes it's hard to let them go , but they are going to a much better place. If you can't help a rescue in any other way they need you as a foster. Just remember that when you help a dog, another stuck at animal control on death row will get a chance. Please, no matter where you are reading this blog, open your heart and consider fostering.....most rewarding thing you will ever do!!!!
I .wanted to give you an update on Murray. He went to the doc on the 27th of February. We were hoping at that time that he would have a least one of his pins removed (he has 6 holding everything together). The one at his elbow area has been giving him trouble and we hoped that would alleviate some of the pain. No luck , he has an infection in that area and instead is on antibiotics till the 13th when he goes back for another check-up. So this Wednesday we are hoping the infection is better and he can have the surgery he needs to take out that pin. Other than that, he is doing quite well. He wants to run around, but can't quite get there and we have been having to keep him relatively quiet these last two weeks so he can heal.
Wow...I wish I could run around!!!
I'm patiently waiting for my doctors appointment this week!!!!
If you can donate to Murray's surgery and recovery, please go to Husky Haven and donate through our PayPal. Thanks so much for all the love you have sent our boy!!! Update after the doctor this week!!!
Lottie one of my last fosters with her family!!!!
A couple of smart dogs staying out of the sun!!!
Mr Willy!!!! He was one of the puppies from last year!!!
We had many foster babies and I got to see a ton of our adopted babies!!!
I had to add Honey, she's our directors son's dog....and an honorary Husky!!!!!!
I wish I'd gotten a picture of all the dogs...that would have taken me all day and a lot of running!!! Thanks again to all of you for coming out and making this such a fun day!!!!
Tired of feeling sorry for myself......plus , I love this blog!!! So onward we go!!!
Tonight I have a very special post though. My son, Ian, turns 33 today!!!! It's so hard to believe that so much time has gone by!! Just yesterday he was my little baby , he's still my baby, just not so little anymore.

Battle of Twelve Swords
Hiro, as Takezo Kensei, stands akimbo after disarming 11 opponents.
Sword Saint
Otsu, Japan
Hiro, posing as Takezo Kensei, fights in the "Battle of Twelve Swords", saving Yaeko from twelve attackers by using his powers to disarm them.

A brigand
Whitebeard's men
Hiro, having taken an inebriated Takezo Kensei's armor and horse, searches for Yaeko. When he finds her, Yaeko is defending herself against a number of Whitebeard's men with Kensei's sword, accusing them of not being worthy of the title "Samurai." The leader tells Yaeko that he needs her father, but doesn't need her. Hiro, dressed as Takezo Kensei, calls out to the men demanding that they leave Yaeko alone. The leader asks Hiro how he can boast of his swordsmanship when he doesn't even have a sword. Hiro tells him that Takezo Kensei doesn't need a sword because he has all of theirs. He uses his ability to stop time and take all the swords from the men. The men take aim with their bows and Hiro laughs and tells them they shouldn't. The men begin to wonder why "Takezo Kensei" continues to refer to himself in the third-person, but before they can shoot their arrows, Hiro stops time again and takes their bows as well. He taunts them, suggesting they leave before he takes their clothes next. The men run off, Hiro yelling a suggestion that they refer to this as "The Battle of Twelve Swords."
Yaeko, believing Hiro to be Takezo, thanks him. Hiro asks Yaeko to ride back with him.
In Chapter 1, "The Battle of the Twelve Swords", Professor Donna Dorn explains that White Beard has turned Japan from its most prosperous time to its bloodiest. Expecting an easy victory, she says, he marches to Otsu with only a small company of men. He is met by Takezo Kensei, who saves the people of Otsu, in what later became known as the Battle of Twelve Swords.
In Chapter 2, "The Trial of the Fire Scroll", the year documented is 1671. Takezo Kensei is the one man standing in White Beard's way of conquering all of Japan since the Battle of Twelve Swords.
Before the battle, Yaeko tried to take on the brigands herself.
Sword Saint describes the legend of Takezo Kensei fighting Whitebeard and his men.

Ready your hearts and your tissue boxes — we've reached quite a moving portion of our story. As our not-a-couple couple start breaking down their walls and communicating, it leads to some unexpected insight into our hero.
EPISODES 11-12 WEECAP
Well-crafted is the word of the week for Our Beloved Summer, and perhaps the best one to describe the drama as a whole, too. This week we saw some important turning points, and just like life, sometimes those moments are as happy and poignant as they are painful.
For Woong, that turning point begins with a fun vignette about a neighborhood ajusshi and the abandoned puppy that he took in and now babies. In the flashbacks, Woong seems tickled by the puppy's easy and lazy life — his owner carries him around, pushes him in a stroller, and plops him on a tufted pillow to rest. Woong says it's his dream life… and yet later, our drama pushes this metaphor even farther, and into some new territory.
It's not hard to find the symbolism of the abandoned puppy when we look at Ji-woong's storyline, and we do look at that quite a bit in this week's episodes. Despite how understated this character is, gosh, it's with a heavy heart that I watch Ji-woong struggling to come to terms with his feelings.
He literally makes himself sick slaving over the docu editing — but really, it seems clear that more than the workload, it's the emotional weight that's bearing down on him. Poor Ji-woong not only has to muster the courage to transform the docu into what it truly is, and must be — Woong and Yeon-su's love story — but he has to come to terms with his feelings for Yeon-su, too. It's getting harder to hide it from the other keen observers around him (what an industry he works in!). And from the two people whom it concerns the most.
But as it turns out, Ji-woong is not our only abandoned puppy. Our next abandoned puppy is first foreshadowed for us, and then revealed. The pieces of this puzzle have been so very subtle — and I think that's what makes Woong's big reveal so moving. Through gentle whispers, we learn about Woong's true past, and suddenly it's as if everything perplexing about his character falls into place.
Making this reveal even more moving, we learn it with Yeon-su. Though she and Woong are pretending to be friends, it's clear that this fake phase won't last long. Yeon-su can't hide her care for Woong, and that trail of jujubes that leads him to his house tells him everything he needs to know.
Finally, though, it's Yeon-su that takes the lead as the two talk honestly over dinner, and this becomes such a beautiful confession scene between the two. Woong says he's always missed her, and wants her to love only him, and Yeon-su's eyes are brimming with tears of reciprocation. It's clear to everyone around them that these two are made for each other, from Yeon-su's grandmother, to Woong's lovely parents, who have so much wisdom and insight.
I have always loved Woong's parents — the actors, the characters, their delightful scenes, the grounding and love they provide to the story — but the big reveal this week only hammers that in even more.
After Woong and Yeon-su's confession, he slowly tells her that his parents are not his real parents, and that as a small boy he was abandoned on the street by his father. As mentioned, sooooo many things are colored in by this reveal: the vignette of the abandoned puppy we learned about earlier, the trauma that has shaped Woong into the adult he's become, his willingness to share his adoptive parents with another abandoned puppy (Ji-woong), and finally, just how lovely Woong's parents are, opening their hearts to all these sad little boys. *Weep*!
At this point, it's hard to imagine how the drama can get any better. This week was definitely peak for me. The pieces of each storyline have been beautifully illuminated, and I'm ready to sit back and bask in it. Luckily, this is what the drama lets us do for a bit.
Woong and Yeon-su awkwardly and happily settle back into dating, with all the hiccups and sweetness we might expect. I love these two together so much it actually hurts. Whether it's their "accidental" meetups, silly and swoony missteps, or that gorgeous black-and-white sequence at the gallery — well done, Show. And perhaps Yeon-su's line about loving Woong for who he is encapsulates this drama's loveliness best.
Our Beloved Summer isn't afraid to strike a balance between sweet and bittersweet, though, and maybe that's why the emotions feel so deep. Whether it's the journey the leads have been on all this time, or the heartache in their pasts, or even the heartache of our second leads, the story has a wistfulness to it that I'm truly going to miss.
Of course, there's two more weeks to go in the drama's run, and plenty more to unpack on our way there. Particularly, the relationship between Woong and Ji-woong continues to be as subtle as it is moving. Ji-woong's bitterness stings, but we also feel it with him; Woong's instinct to always go to this brother-figure first also stings, but in another way entirely. Their friendship continues to impress me with how little is said, but how much is communicated. And as much as I love our couple, my heart is most with Ji-woong, drowning in all the bitterness and hurt he needs to let go of.

@missvictrix, thanks for your prompt and 'well-crafted' recap!!
You've really captured all the subtle and poignant points and emotions in these two episodes (and indeed the whole drama). This is the kind of exquisite recaps deserve our full attention. I do think the writer and director have poured their heart and soul into this story. Their way of storytelling style - reflective of their love of those movies/dramas as entitled in each episode - accentuates our whole viewing experience to immerse in the YS-Woong journey.
As already mentioned elsewhere, the jujube-chestnut tribute to Coffee Prince is so exciting that I almost scream out loud. So, so lovely! All of a sudden, I realise why I love OBS without reservation - it is that same fresh and delightful tone as in CP despite the bittersweet story. (And Han-Kyul is an adoptee too.)
I just wish this is not the peak, losing some steam like CP in the last few episodes.

It's a beautiful beautiful piece of art!! It gives me the same butterflies as coffee prince did so many years ago ❤

I was beginning to question if these two were actually right for each other and these last two episodes put my mind at ease! They are so beautiful when they are open and honest with each other. And that coffee prince nod? Ah my heart!
books7time
You have no idea how your words just settled my heart. I am trying to remain spoiler free, but I had to at least get a feel of Beanie reception of these two episodes since it has been a genuine question.
4 Emperor Titus
You know how much I have watched the end of Episode 11, and cried so hard my head is now very hurt in headache, as I am writing this piece.
Should I say more?
The fact we have 2 more weeks to go shows 2 things. 1. Shouldn't many K-dramas end with just 12 episodes? Sometimes those dramas ruined itself because of those 2 more weeks. Quite of lot of those dramas I think they are masterpieces when they comes to Episode 12, then they have become mediocre, to say the least, when they have their finale in Episode 16, or 20 (I am looking at you, The King's Affection, although it is still very good somehow when it comes to Episode 20, but quite a lot of those plots really need to cut down somehow). We don't know about Our Beloved Summer yet, and I really hope it won't.
I said last week that the true father mystery of Woong is one of those most dread thing I am watching in this drama, as I hated that same plot unfolded in Her Private Life. For this drama, this have my tears become river ... I really hope that this plot won't become a distraction of the main plot, just like Her Private Life.
Certainly I can't predict what will happen for the next two weeks, but by judging the over-sweet Episode 12, there are still quite a lot of stuff the drama need to deal with. Where Ji-woong's heart goes will be one of the most important, and I really hope his junior, Chae-ran's care for him can be seen. NJ's whereabout I do concern, too; she seems to be just an idol, and probably the most open yet most opaque character of the drama, but her way to deal with loneliness I hope Woong can help out somehow, although not as a lover, since she helped Woong to understand how to deal with fame.
Even our beloved pair, I think there are unsolved issues. Yeonsu's pride is still part of the problem, although Woong has tried very hard to accommodate it. Although I don't want Woong's past overshadow the main story, but obviously it is the reason he has a hard time to express himself.
Now Woong's paintings have a person to accompany, I hope the story will be just as amazing as his painting.
Emperor Titus
Just in case you don't know:
Episode 11's title's tribute is a 1989 French film: Mes nuits sont plus belles que vos jours is a sad story by French Polish director Andrzej Żuławski involving a computer scientist with a fatal brain disease meets a hotel worker (Sophie Marceau) who has a promiscuous mother forcing her into an exploitative act. After a short and physical love relationship, they commit suicide together.
Episode 12 refers to Begin Again, which is about a new beginning of a fired music producer (Mark Ruffalo) and a rock star's dumped girlfriend (Keira Knightley), as he discovers her singing talent and help her to make her debut album, their love grows ...
And one more thing, the illustrator behind Choi Woong is French painter Thibaud Herem, and this is his Instagram.

Thanks for your comments @imperialtitus. Your knowledge and insight have really deepened my appreciation of this show! I also completely agree with your thoughts about whether the show should have ended at episode 12. In some ways, emotionally, I say yes, because, as you say, the next 2-3 episodes risk ruining the wonderful trajectory of this story. But I agree, there are still a lot of issues to work out with all the characters. I hope the writers are up to the task they set for themselves, but even if not I like what they have done so far. Also, the acting, especially of Kim Da-mi and Choi Woo-shik, has been a real highlight of the show for me!
About the actor/actress, I think I can't express enough with those limited words I have. I can't even imagine if these two characters are played by another actor/actress other then them.
According to some reports (which I can't verify yet), they actually tweak the confession a bit in the end of Episode 11 so that it is more impactful. It is quite impossible if it is not like the "monster newbie" as Dami, or an actor with such wide vision in mind as Woo-shik (he studied directing in Simon Fraser University, a proud fellow Canadian of mine, heehee). You really have to understand the whole drama to get that right.

"Yeonsu's pride"
Pride and insecurity, I must add.
koreanoona
Speaking of which: i wonder if they will give us Yeonsu's backstory. Where are her parents? Whose debt did she have to pay off? Under what circumstances did the two break up previously? I feel this could help them overcome their communications issues. Writer-nim might just spring a surprise on us next week. Fingers crossed.
pohonphee
Maybe it is better if OBS is a 12eps drama. I did feel like we are in ep 16 with what's happening in ep 12. But I gave it second though, maybe with 4 eps left, the drama can explore Yeonsu & Woong relationships more. Because until ep 12 we only know what happen after they broke up, just a little bit why they broke up. I think it is more than just Yeonsu's insecurity. Or how their relationship change after the pause (they had multiple break ups but never separated this long) and they are now both grown up. I'm curious about how actually theit relationships looks like when they are not mad with each othet, or how they solve problems when there are differences. Or how the last break up changes both of them.
I see the possibilities ha ha
I just hope they adress their biggest issue that of communication and not go pretend nothing was wrong till now as pretending won't make the problem disappear,just come back again because there wasn't said out loud...If they don't talk they will fall shortly in their old ways...U think by now they learned after so many break-ups...
I think both of you, @pohonphee & @miky88, addressed the obvious yet most important. Woong and Yeonsu have been getting back together, but what they are doing right now is somehow like when they first fell in love. They simply need to grow up. The way Yeonsu bugs Woong is lovely, but she can't simply bug him to her death. Due to his abandonment experience and her poverty, they obviously feel very insecure on their relationship. As a result, she keeps on asking him question and he accommodating her way too comfortably. They have to learn to put down their pride (more on Yeonsu) and improve their communication skill (more on Woong) so that they can be better lovers.
So, now Woong really need to deal with his past of being abandoned. We don't need to know who his real father is (otherwise, it will fully distracted the main storyline, just like Her Private Life which I hate the most), but he need to settle with his current parents about the issue. Currently I think he would have put the issue in a dark place to let it rot, and if he keep on doing so, it will hurt all his love ones, even Yeonsu can't tolerate that, and I really fear he can't grow healthily, both physically and mentally.
One thing important in Episode 11, Yeonsu read some letters on Woong's table, one of those is from Le Museé d'Art d'Avant-garde de Paris de France, inside did mentioned "concerning variability and invariability". In an interviewed conducted in a past episode, Woong did said the reason about not putting human in his illustrations because "people do change a lot, but building don't."
This may goes back to what he read in high school about the concept of impermanence. Furthermore, one of his earliest book read (and being caught by the camera) is Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Episode 1), which emphasize Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of eternal recurrence. I am not sure if it hinted something happening in the future, but it doesn't seem very happy ...
By the way, Friedrich Nietzsche's eternal recurrence may probably the main theme of the story as well. In Episode 7's Epilogue, both Woong and Yeonsu skipped their class and went to the library. One of Woong's borrowing books was Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Woong even recited the meaning of his eternal recurrence to Yeonsu, showing that he thoroughly understands Nietzsche's philosophy.

I love your recap @missvictrix. You made me see the events in the episode in a more thoughtful perspective. Ung's parents are absolutely wonderful people and I can see clearly the depth of love they need to share. Ung and JiUng are truly lucky.
You make everything that happened in the episode so much clearer that I was not able to connect when I watched it. I have to rewatch it again.
There are so many gorgeous moments between Ung and YeonSoo in this week's episodes that I can not even begin to describe. The episodes were indeed well crafted and bitterweet for most characters.
The highlight for me is that long awaited conversation between our leads. Choi Woo Shik and Kim Da Mi are such great actors that they conveyed that scene with soooo much charged emotions. I love them.
Then the morning after their late night convo and just about all their scenes together after that really. YeonSoo and Ung are so different when in love that I just want them to be this happy for a loooooong time.
Hum...
I'm not so happy with these episodes.
Yeon-Su and Ung didn't really speak. Ung did and I was kinda disapointed because for once Yeon-Su was ready to make the first move and to be honest. I think it's important that Yeon-Su expresses her feelings.
For Ung, the revelations explained his sleep issues. But I didn't like it and the fact they are dating again will just push it back but he needs to adress this problem more seriously. Yeon-Su is not the solution.
You can't hide to a child that he was adopted, especially if he wasn't a baby. It's so stupid. The fact they hide it, they hide they had a son, they didn't think that Ung could remember his past don't really correspond to the parents we knew until now.
I found the writer chose very too drama-esque backstory to the characters when the rest of the story is pretty nice.
I'm really sorry for Ji-Ung, he's trying to hard. It was interesting how Ji-Ung and Ung talked about it without talking about it. Their friendship is really nice to watch.
I just would have liked they showed us why he loves Yeon-Su because like that he looks a little bit dramatic for nothing. They didn't seem to share scenes together except the hair tie one and it's too small for so much torturing...
NJ is my favourite character. She's so honest with her feelings and with people around her! She's breath of fresh air!
The OST is really great. It suits so well the mood of the drama.
PD Park is my favorite character 😁 The actor should take more comedic role
He deserves a bigger role. He was so charisatic in On the Verge of Insanity or tortured with his crocs in Navillera.
I have hope that Yeon Soo will speak up more in next week's episodes. I agree that she didnt get to finish her thought. I am actually interested on what she was about to say before Ung cut her off.
Hmmm, it is really difficult and hard
for both - adoptive parents and adopted child. When there's a deep traumatis involved you as an adoptive parent would like to vive just love to that child and forget about everything what went wrong. With work and child's fast growth is easy to deny that that child has other biological parents. When adopted children learn that they're indeed adopted they start doubt the love of their adoptive parents ( only in the cases where they are not abused) and start to ask questions, look for their origins and feel lost.
A little child needs to be reminded all the time that he is loved. Not with presents, money but with a hug, soft stroking, kissing and nicely clearly spoken words, soft glances. I myself don't know how and when I would be able to reveal to a child, my child, that he is adopted if he was. It's really like stepping on a frozen river. Never know when the ice can crack. It must be even harder when the child is of your own kind.
vive - give
As an adopted child myself, you don't want people lying abour your origins.
There is nothing wrong to be adopted. By lying about it, by making it a secret, you make it like it was a problem.
The parents completely shut down the eventual questions he could have about his biological parents.
For the son they lost, they could explained to him he had a big brother who died.
Children are way more sensitive, observer then we think, they listen everything. You can't hide something so important.
Children are great observers indeed and they reflect the ideas, behaviour of their close environment like a mirror and sometimes just a blunt remark can be a cause of an avalanche of actions nobody could even imagine about their own child. I don't want to excuse parents who don't tell their children that they are not exactly theirs but as a parent myself I wouldn't like my child to be hurt by their classmates with unreasonable hate. But yes everyone shouldn't be repressed to know about their own origins. It's really difficult to do things right.
drawde2000
With Ung, he accepted it early on that he was adopted. He accepted the love this new parents gave him. He never questioned it. This is why, there was never a conversation about it during his childhood. It was never brought up. I'm not sure if parents can simply tell their kids they are adopted out of the blue, without the child asking for it.
Now, for the dead son. I can't figure out that one. They could have told him he was the brother. But it seems like he was the replacement for the dead son. This one is hard to accept.
Ung has sleeping issues, he has to take sleeping pills, he's afraid to be abandonned... Clearly, he needed to talk about what happened with his parents or a professional.
True. The abandonment issue needed to be addressed, which in some way would be connected to the adoption.
But from how I interpret it, being adopted was not cause of his symptoms. He didn't blame himself because he was adopted. He became this loving and generous person, because he was loved by his new parents. So, he did not feel the need to discuss it with his parents. I think the parents would have told him the truth, if brought up.
Yes. I do wished the parents and Ung had some casual talk (like Ji woong and Ung), so it can possibly start in a deeper conversation.
Also, Ung is probably an exception.
Yes. It is never a good thing to lie about the adoption. And it should not be promoted that everyone will become Ung if they are adopted that way.

I actually have to say that as someone who grew up with parents grieving a dead sibling, that part of the storyline is incredibly true to life. There's nothing I hate more than seeing it reduced to a trope to add drama and nothing I love more than seeing it done well. OBS has done it so well that I picked up on it the episode before the reveal. When Ung's mom got so sad talking about going to the countryside, I texted my friend and said "they have a child who died". I know that look. I grew up with that look.
It also adds so much emotional texture and context to the earlier episodes. The way they dote on Ung and how rigorously his mom cared for him when he was sick. How they feel they can't ask him about the heavier stuff he's going through because it would open a whole Pandora's Box. It explains - beyond just the abandonment issues - why Ung struggles so much with verbalizing his feelings. He grew up in a family that consistently demonstrated their love but left so much unsaid.
Is it wrong they didn't tell him he was adopted? Absolutely. But not talking about a deceased child is heartbreakingly common. I know someone who never told her 30+ year old kids they had another sibling, yet you can see the effects of growing up with that unspoken grief permeating everything in their lives. Speaking about dead children is still almost taboo in so many places; people get uncomfortable, they expect parents to move on. Parents worry that they're betraying their first child by having another or betraying their current child by missing the one that's gone, that they'll feel like a replacement…
So yeah this particular plot didn't really feel unrealistic to me. It felt comfortingly (and sadly) very familiar and added so much context to what we've already seen. I'm grateful to this entire team for handling it with such care and authenticity.
@annalionhead. Thanks for your well-considered insight as it contextualises the behaviour of Woong and his parents and how they interact with each other.
annalionhearted>
I think there is a difference between not talking about a deceased child because it's painful and hidding the fact there is a deceased child in the family.
My grandparents had 3 children and the second one died before the birth of my father. They never talked about him but my father still knew about it.
I understand the pain to talk about it but hidding it, it's still an issue for me.
Islander north
So, the photo the parents were looking at, was that a son that died or was lost or what? Did I miss something?
I think died but it's not clear (but the picture kinda looked like the one they used for funeral). But we know that they left every year the same day.
The implication, I think, is that their son died young, and every year they go to his grave for a memorial service.
bomibeans
@kurama I might not always agree with you, but I always love reading your opinions and especially contrarian opinions. 😊
So, are there enough issues still to resolve in some lovely way, or are the remaining 4 episodes enough to let this drama go off the rails? Thoughts?
I just hope we won't get a separation before the end or an open ending with them seing each other without dialogues...

Amen to this comment.

Truly.... Everything about this week's episode shows that Our Beloved Summer is indeed such a well-thought and well crafted show.
Who the heck saw a traumatic abandoned puppy and think "Well, I'm gonna write something out of this". Ugh *chefs kiss*
I have been through pain and suffering the whole 5 weeks and my sadness all gone upon going through ep 12... I'm so happy to the point that I don't let myself to be so because we do have 4 episodes left where anything can happen.
What is their deal that they have so much power over my feelings?!
I personally think the beauty of this drama is its played out like a novel. We hear their innermost thoughts and the characters are very relateable. This show got my heart from episode 1.
Agreed! Instead of watching a drama, OSB comes across as a 'live' literary piece.

I always found Ung adorable but this week's episodes cemented that even more. He is the most endearing character I have come across! His equation with his adoptive parents is so beautiful! Also the fact that after realising Ji woong likes Yeonsu didn't change Ung's relationship with him was so wonderful. And it's so good to see him happy, back with Yeonsu.
Ung's love for Ji Woong is honestly so adorable. When he went to his apt because he was sick and Ji Woong asked him why he was still there. I literally said out loud, it is because he loves you. That was such a great sequence of scenes.
The fact he offered to be roomates even he didn't really wanted it but he saw that his friend was very lonely.
Ung just showed how important JiUng is to him. He is not vocal about what he feels but his actions show everything he needs to say to his bestie. Despite knowing his secret it does not matter to him since JU has not done anything to jeopardize his relationship with YS. That non-convo they had on ep11 just goes to show how much JU knows Ung that he can interpret his evasive answers.

I am calling it. This is the most beautiful love confession I have watched in a drama. And it's not even a direct confession, it doesn't have any grand gestures, it doesn't have a blaring happy soundtrack in the background and it doesn't end in a kiss scene from multiple camera angles. It is just a simple scene of Choi Ung baring his soul and Yeounsu understanding exactly what he is saying , all the emotions are acted through their eyes and Choi Ungs pauses and gulps and his expression, no over the top gestures .. just that and yet it felt so intimate that it made a grown man like me cry puddles. And they do it all the time especially if Yeonsu starts tearing up , my waterworks starts. This is what drama is so good at. The subtlety. And props to Choi U Shik and Dami for this because not many can pull this off and the director and editor for taking the risk to utilize silence and melo to highlight emotions and not opt for grandeur , because many might feel it's boring . Choi Woo Shik & Kim Dami might not be hugely well known in the kdrama scene except recently through Parasite & Itaewon Class but man they are worthy of their awards and praises.
As much as I love heartbreaking confessions and the pinning but we all look forward to their lovey dovey scenes. And they delivered on that front as well on ep 12. They are so cringey & adorable.. Gawd 😅. I like that Yeonsu was a bit worried that if Choi Ung didn't feel the same way as before when they dated and if he changed and it all melted away Ung couldn't even wait so he showed up during her work and reassured that he is not going to disturb her during work, he came here just coz he missed her and just followed her around like a puppy. No wonder she fell head over heels over him. And Choi Ung' s monologue in the gallery in black and white was so poignant but i feel like it got lost in translation because i think it was more deep that i understood. If anyone has an interpretation of what he said plz do share. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Now onto the secondary male leads. Ji Woong is probably the saddest character now, that poor guy doesn't have anyone. The one person he had in his life, he can't even face him because he is in love with his girlfriend. And they are trying to show it realistically i guess how hard it is to move on from a special crush. I think it would have sold to the audience if we knew why he has such a big crush on Yeonsu. Like all we know he saw her and liked her, like crush coz she looks beautiful, i think it would be better if there was more depth to it, I don't know if they will show it in the next episodes. I hope he is able to move on from it and give our girl Chae Ran a chance.
Now as much as i love that we are getting so many adorable scenes.. i am scared for the next four episodes , i really they don't pull the noble idiocy breakup or main character dying arc bullshit, coz that would just ruin the whole drama because it will leave such a bad after...
I've been rewatching scenes from these two episodes whenever I have a moment. Apart from that almost mute but straightforward confession (please do love me!!), my favourite remains the black and white moment in the gallery. It's a call back to all those lonely drawing scenes of Ung into the night that we are seeing in every episode. His monologue in Ep 12 of YS being there during his drawing is perhaps the most poetic expression - and making sense why we have those lone drawing scenes time and time again. So poignant and yet beautiful!
redoy21
So it means Choi Ung actually thought about her everytime he was drawing alone all those times 🥺🥺
I've been watching Choi Woo Shik since Rooftop Prince.
He needs more recognition and dramas to delight us!
I watched him in youtube clip from Hogu's Love. Gwad he's so funny. He did slapstick so well... 🤣
Dunno I want to watch him as the conventional stoic ML, see how he fares to such kind of role.
Question - is the little boy who played Choi Woong in eps 5 different from the one in the dreams? They look different to me!
We had a rocky start with NJ, but i like how she's turned out. The nice thing about this drama is that despite using the std tropes and characterisations, the writer always manage to give us a little twist and keep the story warm and engaging.
With 4 episodes to go, i hope we get to see more of Woong-Woong and the finished documentary!
Saw a photo of the child actors - you are right, young Choi Woong is played by 2 boys - the crying/lost Woong is different from the one sitting in front of his parents' shop/meeting Ji Woong in school.

Thanks so much for a great weecap @missvictrix. Your alluding to a perfect mix of sweet and bittersweet aptly describes this drama.
Still pondering the film titles for each episode. I realize I've seen almost all these movies (even the strange French one) and keep returning to their plots to try to figure out where this drama is going. For instance, the ending of "Begin Again" concerns forgiveness and compassion for the leads' exes and moving on with life after they finish working together on a passion project.
That being said, I am content to sit back and let this writer/PD take me wherever they want to go (with maybe a few sessions in a counselor's office?).

I'm glad they're past their stand-off with each other, but I'm keen for Yeon-su to get her chance to be honest. Like other beanies, I would have liked it if she had talked first - explained why she 'abandoned' Ung and said sorry. Just getting back together without apologising feels weird. It would have made more sense for him to reveal his past after they had established more trust.
I hope in the next few episodes they address Yeon-su's insecurity (like they did Ung's escapism) so they can both mature together.
FormAnOrderlyQueue
Yes this HAS to be one of the key things in the last episodes. Ung seems to be learning how to start dealing with his abandonment; Yeonsu HAS to start tackling her issues of poverty/need to succeed and control and so on. The ray of light I saw was when they went back to his apartment after he explained about being adopted. She finally stopped trying to "fix" his issues and said, "I don't know what to say or do." For me, she's now ready to start opening up too. I'm fairly confident the writer will move Yeonsu on too - it would be a massive own goal if it didn't happen.

I feel so shattered after the epilogue of ep 11. I had neither read the Open thread post nor any of the comments, and it just gutted me. My mind had never gone there but I should have known by now that the KDRama Goddess is a capricious and mercurial one. Choi Wooshik has pools of affecting emotions instead of eyes, and Kim Dami continues to be a wonder. Now, who can I sue for feeling so wrecked after those concluding moments?
14 LaurenSophie
I love this show so much. To my mind, it hasn't made a wrong move yet. It's very thoughtful yet for me, never slow. You could say the ultimate resolution of reconciliation has never been in doubt, but the journey to get there has frequently surprised me.
I feel deeply for all the characters, which is the mark of great writing. Ji-woong still breaks my heart, but it's time for him to recognize his lovely and loyal assistant who clearly cares for him in the way he wants to be cared for.
But of course, it was Woong--the abandoned puppy-- who I most wanted to see happy, and these episodes were so wonderful in showing not only his vulnerability but also his strength in stating in the purest, simplest terms what he wants from Yeon-su. Such beautiful scenes.

Episode 12 endend and I just started crying. More like sobbing. The episode filled my heart with so many emotions. Damn you, drama, how can you be this perfect?! I really can't believe how much I'm loving it and all these characters. I care for each one of them so much. I see we are all scared by the fact that there are still 4 episodes left. But can all this perfection go that very wrong? I believe in the writer and the director. Please, have mercy on us!
I love these small recaps, missvictrix! Thank you!!
DancingEmma
From your lips…!
I also wanted to say that because I believe so strongly in the transformative and inspirational capacity of the arts to realise human rights and a more humane world, I particularly rejoice in the inclusion of this deeply affecting theme of adoption and how love can forge an everlasting bond among three people who are wounded and in need to each other. As I understand, adoption is still disfavoured in many parts of the South Korean society and to have it featured in this moving context is a triumph of compassion and reason over bigotry and abandonment. Even if it changes only a few viewers' minds and lead them to adopting children who are in need of love and care, it will be a victory worth dancing about with joy.
There is a particular series of episodes of Move to Heaven that you would appreciate then, if you have not seen it. It brought to attention the injustice of children who are adopted and not made citizens out of ignorance of the system (in this instance adopted in the US) . Wow, I was moved to tears which rarely happens.
I loved Move to Heaven. Those eps made me think about and cry over. Am so glad you found them worth getting weepy about.
Ah, I am glad you have seen them. Yes, I am happy I gave it a chance.
I actually went and researched the situation because I couldn't believe it! I thought that perhaps it was exaggeration for effect by the writer.

This episodes were just ❤. How tender Yeon-su is and can be was a surprise, so I finally see why Woong loves her. And he's such a good friend and boy friend. Man, he's perfect these two episodes. And honorable mention goes to hoobae that has a crush on Ji-ung. How she got him to go home while sick…😝. Oh, and NJ! Loved her inebriated confession and the surprised Ji-ung on how she already knew our lovers loved each other. I should rewatch this. Everything was well done. Oh, have I mentioned how much I live the cinematography? Yeah, that too!
Alluvial_Fan
NJ saying, "I wanted to become a writer for him. How crazy is that?". I want to become a screenwriter for this show. Just say'n.
I would like you to be a script writer for a show as good as this as so many more shows like this are needed. Power to your pen!
Lalla32
Ah yes, I was thinking the same thing! XD Shows like this, that are able to move me so much, they always inspire me.
The cinematography is superb for sure on top of the script, casting, acting, directing, pacing and the interwoven humour and compassion. I love and cherish so much about this series. It has made me feel choked up and weepy but so worth it.
On the trivial side of things, I would like Choi Wooshik to take kissing tips from Yoo Yeon Seok. Please enjoy and have a fire extinguisher ready!😂😊
https://www.soompi.com/article/1474056wpp/11-k-drama-actors-who-are-great-at-kiss-scenes
Yes. Agree. Gong Yoo should give a clinic as well. I just saw this…the extended cut from Goblin: https://youtu.be/p8Phm9nyWvw
😂😊. Thanks Ally! It should be an art form, right?😂
@Ally. Holy Cannoli. I would like to sponsor a few people to attend Gong Yoo's Clinic. A waiting list around?😍😂
IKR! There should be…
@Ally - Our exchanges have made me laugh and cheered me up! Thanks a bunch fellow Beanie!
Me too! Goodnight!
Jayne❤
I thought if there is one thing to fix about the show, is Choi Wooshik doing the kissing scenes 🤭
Gong Yoo, Yoo Yeonseok and I'd like to add Kim Soohyun in IONTBO *fanning myself*
Notice that they keep the duration ep in exactly 1 hour, not like some dramas that went to almost 2 hours for each ep like 😏. I always went oh it is already 1 hour hmmm *sad*
But this what makes the story flow better since I think the plot is already thin to begin with
A lot of dramas need better editors. No need for any show to run over an hour.
I'm thinking of Hospital Playslit. Second season really needed a good editor X_X
I can't finish the second season because of the length of episodes. I can't sit that long in one place. Lol 😆

Why is this so beautiful? I watched 2 latest episodes twice and I'm still at awe on how "well-crafted" the show is just like @missvictrix described.
I know we're still in danger of disapointments since there are still 2 weeks ahead, but honestly, I will forgive the writer if it really happens. I will still thank her (is it her or him?) for the most beautiful 12 episodes in over 10yrs of Kdrama watching.
Screenwriter is Lee Na Eun, female. I tried to send flowers over on My Drama List but don't have an account.

I am late joiner to the world of K-dramas and OBS is one of the best I have seen so far. It can easily be the story of someone we know. It is as if I would wait to hear about how they are doing after five or ten years. Choi Ung and Jeon-Su are an endearing couple and their characterisation is flawless. The talk of break up in the teaser is really upsetting --but it would be nice to see how they get over it.

This is how a pair of actor/actress can make a good ending into legendary.
SBS lately released the script comparation of the confession scene at the end of Episode 11, showing that they make some tweaks from the originally script.
For Dami's part, first of all, originally in the script, after Woong said repeatedly "I miss you," she has a line "Yes, I'm here." She also has an occasion to wipe off her tear on the face. She cuts them all out, and put all those emotions into a subtle "Hum", and she also delay that "hum", and finally the nod ("Hum" before he addresses her when he makes the request, and the nod to the very end). So most of the time she just looks at him in teary eyes, successfully expressing everything by doing almost nothing (except letting her tear folds).
Woo-shik's change may be smaller, but seems more important. In the script he simply says, "사랑해 (love me)", but when he plays the character, he adds a word, "줘 (please)", making his confession more like a begging. Yeonsu puts down her pride, and starts the confession, and he knows it is difficult for her to go first, so even he is the one not good on expressing himself, he rather take over hers and says his.
Even in the end in a confession, Woong still put Yeonsu's feeling first. That's how he loves her, and we all soak in the sea of tear because of them.
Special cc to @hacja, @redoy21, @epyc2010, @miky88, @pohonphee, @ally-le & @dncingemma
Note: "줘" may also means "give", so Woong's request is in fact "come and love me" or "give me your love".
Thanks so much for this sharing @imperialtitus! Very subtle but impactful tweaks. And these two actors are just born to play YEon-su and Woong.

Hi - i am a 63 male and i love this show so much, the situations shown sum up a lof of those one may encounter over life...like loving someone who is dating a friend.
BUT i wished i had not watch the last episodes epilogue...confused and distant fro the happy place i saw our main leads going...
I dont want to see Ji-woong get Yeon-su's love and the expense of Ung.....i admit i am a romantic but its been great watching the little steps, mis-understandings het our two leads to where they are.....please continue this journey
Episode 11 and 12 were brilliant! By the end of episode 11, I was crying along with Woong. His story is heatbreaking, and when I think of the breakup scene, I understand him so much more, I can relate to his pain, to his hesitation in starting a relationship again with Yeon Su. And that's why I was unsatisfied with Yeon Su and her character development. We as viewers understand the reason for the breakup. But she never properly apologized to him or never adressed it. He should have let her talk, I wanted her to talk and express that she wanted him back, that she was sorry for the breakup, I mean I wanted her to talk. I know she loves him, but I think they are quickly falling into their old pattern, with Woong being so in love and Yeon Su, still not being completely transparent, still not communicating clearly... I am on the fence with her. I am hoping the character development on her hand will focus on that for the remaining episodes. I am still very scared of Woong being hurt and abandoned once again 😏😏. He also has some work to do, and I think needs professional help to deal with the consequences of being abandonned, and the feeling of being a replacement, despite the unconditional love he received from his adoptive parents.

I seldom log in these days - but I just have to come on and share my love for this drama. It's been 12 episodes and I'm crossing my fingers for the last 4 - if the directing, acting and writing continues it's ending up as the best drama I have seen in the past year. I absolutely love the way the story telling enfolds in this, I love how the high school story is told concurrently with the current story, and I totally adore both leads. It has humour, love, tears and just great acting from both. Hearts out to CWS - he has always been under the radar, who knew he had it to be rom com king! I think every actor usually needs a breakout role to come out really into the spotlight for good roles, and this is really hitting the jackpot for him. And it's not by chance, he met a really good partner in KDM but he very much put heart into his characterization of Choi Woong. The showed had me laughing, in tears and smiling to the brim in 60 mins. It's a wonderful watch, highly recommended.
Can I just bask in your drama-love for a moment?

He was excellent as the ML in Ho gu's Love.

This show is my happy place! And I loved the puppy metaphor. It was just--so--heartwarming. And so apt.

The artist behind Ung's drawings is Thibaud Herem. He's a French artist living in London. He has a Instagram account : @thibaudherem
@kurama I saw them a few weeks ago. Beyond gorgeous. I am in awe of talented people such as him.

Como la mayoría, supongo, he visto los capítulos subtitulados y por lo que os he leído, algunas cosas las he percibido diferentes. Por ejemplo, algunos comentáis sobre que los padres de Ung no le han dicho que es adoptado, en cambio yo en las escenas de los últimos capítulos creí entender que Ung no le ha dicho a sus padres que recuerda que lo abandonaron. Otra cosa que no he visto que comentéis, es que parece que los padres de Ung habían perdido un hijo, por eso también los viajes al campo. En cuanto a Yeonsu, ella comenta que la deuda que las arruinó era de un tío que ni siquiera conocía y no entendía porqué tenían que hacerse cargo ella y la abuela. Otra cosa que me sorprendió porque lo entendí así, es durante la comida de Ji-ung con NJ, esta parece como que le ofrece a Ji-ung un acuerdo para seguir cada uno intentando conquistar a Ung y Yeonsu, por lo menos eso me pareció. Comentáis también sobre los problemas de comunicación. Yo veo en Yeonsu un problema de egoísmo, que ya comentó su abuela que en parte era culpa de ella, y en todo caso problemas para expresar sus sentimientos, aunque parece que con el único que es capaz por mucho que le cueste es con Ung. Ella ya ha dicho en alguna escena que tiene un gran problema de sentimiento de inferioridad que viene de su etapa escolar y parece que la ruptura con Ung se produjo principalmente por ese motivo ya que quería que Ung fuera a estudiar a una universidad que ella no se podía permitir. En cuanto a Ung parece que el abandono de su padre marcó mucho su carácter y no puede soportar que las personas que quiere lo abandonen, por eso es introvertido y de pocos amigos. En la escena de la cena con Yeonsu no solo le dice que lo ame solo a él también le pide que no se vaya. No he sabido ver que Ung le haya dicho alguna vez a Yeonsu que la quiere y he creído entender que una de las cosas que espera Yeonsu de Ung es precisamente que se lo diga, en cambio parece que Ung prefiere demostrarlo con hechos más que con palabras. Sin duda es una relación muy difícil porque los dos tienen traumas por resolver que parece que les impide darse por completo, pero aunque se ve mucha química entre ellos y parece que se quieren mucho, todavía no he entendido porqué ya que no tienen mucho que ver y tampoco se complementan
Welcome mulete! Really wanted to read your comment but my Spanish is very weak. Here's a translation done by Word translate (which captures the essence but may miss any nuance)
mulete's comment : Like most,I suppose,I have seen the chapters subtitled and from what I have readto you, some things I have perceived differently. For example, some of you comment on the fact that Ung's parents have not told him that he is adopted, instead I in the scenes of the last chapters thought I understood that Ung has not told his parents who remember that they abandoned him. Another thing that I have not seen you comment on,is that it seems that Ung's parents had lost a child, that's why also the trips to the countryside. As for Yeonsu, she comments that the debt that ruined them was from an uncle she didn't even know and didn't understand why she and Grandma had to take care of it. Another thing that surprised me because I understood it that way,is during Ji-ung's meal with NJ, this one seems like he offers Ji-ung an agreement to follow each one. trying to conquer Ung and Yeonsu, at least that seemed to me. You also comment on communication problems. I see in Yeonsu a problem of selfishness,which his grandmother already commented was partly her fault, and in any case problems to express his feelings, although it seems that with the only one he is capable no matter how much it costs him is with Ung. She has already said in some scene that she has a big problem of feeling inferiority that comes from her school stage and it seems that the break with Ung is she produced mainly for that reason as she wanted Ung to go study at a university that she could not afford. As for Ung it seems that the abandonment of his father marked his character a lot and he can not bear that the people he loves abandonhim, that is why he is introverted and of few friends. In the dinner scene with Yeonsu not only tells him to love him only him but also asks him not to leave. I have not been able to see that Ung has ever told Yeonsu that he loves her and I have believed that I understand that one of the things that Yeonsu expects from Ung is precisely that he tells him, instead. it seems that Ung prefers to prove it with deeds rather than words. It is certainly a very difficult relationship because the two have traumas to resolve that seems to prevent them from giving themselves completely, but although you see a lot of chemistry between them and it seems to be that they love each other very much, I still have not understood why since they do not...
@ Alluvial fan and @mulete
Thanks for this. Isn't it irritating that the default gender pronoun in this AI translation is a him and he, and not, her and she?
I bristled a bit at Yeonsu's characterisation by her grandmother as selfish. Halmoni wasn't fair or right. In reality, she was anything but. Yes, she was haughty, demanding and prickly but never selfish. Being poor is a struggle which marks one's life and they became impoverished because of the uncle. She survived both emotionally and financially as best as she could.
