Surrogate Soliloquy | |
| Best Love / int_1426dfe6 | comment |
Surrogate Soliloquy: Jin When Jin first realizes what his feelings for Ae Jung, he's in a broadcasting studio. As he questions his feelings, he is repeatedly answered by the titles of various drama posters on the wall: Really Really Like You, A Prince’s First Love, Man in Crisis, You Are So Beautiful. Jin also talks to his fish. And his potato. | |

(Even taking over as Vitamin Water's celebrity endorser!) note Kim Nam Gil was serving in the army when Best Love was filmed/aired, so all his "appearances" were licensed photos/footage. | |

| Best Love / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love Played With. Jin is ironically oblivious to his feelings for Ae Jung, even though his heart beats faster around her, he feels pity when he sees her hurt, he's jealous when he sees her around other guys, etc. Se Ri repeatedly hints to Pil Joo, who assumes she's just joking. Subverted by Jenny, who plays against both Ae Hwan and Jae Suk, leading both several times to speak in unison, "What a terrible girl." | |

Hurricane of Euphemisms | |
| Best Love / int_51561f43 | comment |
Hurricane of Euphemisms/Hurricane of Puns: There is frequent mention of the heart (heart break, heartbeats, heart surgery, etc.). Jin wants to stay in his safe zone (60 - 90 beats per minute), but since meeting Ae Jung, his heart has been racing. Jin also says that he once wanted to be Iron Man, because of the artificial heart. Ae Jung calls Jin "Butthole Jin" (Ddong Ko), a pun on his name Dokko Jin and the fact that he's an ass. She also says things like "shut your butthole" to mean shut up. After Ae Jung refuses his affections, Jin repeatedly tells Ae Jung that he will find her chicken, or the thing that is most important to her. He's referring to the folk tale of the camellias, in which a rich boy who loved a poor loser but got rejected. The loser had one chicken and the rich boy tormented it in revenge. Finally, the loser ended up crying under the camellias. Battery/recharging Jae Suk mentions that anyone looking for Jin's porno online will find Pororo instead. Ae Jung is periodically mentioned as a "national treasure." | |

Sarcastic Confession/Suspiciously Specific Denial: Jin to Ae Jung (paraphrase): "Do you think I would kidnap Ding Dong from school just to get your attention?" When Ae Jung assumes he's joking, Jin then lists things that he's 'joking' about, including, "If I say I want to marry (you), think of it as a joke." | |

Shout-Out | |
| Best Love / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Jin is upset because he passed up a role in Queen Seondeok, which was a runaway hit in South Korea. Jin practices his English by watching Stephen Colbert, known in Korea for his "rivalry" with K-Pop star Bi (Rain). Pororo the Little Penguin, Ding Dong's favorite character toy. Jin wants IronMan's (artificial) heart. Ding Dong wears a Spider-Man costume. Batman. Pil Joo wants to rescue Ae Jung from another world like in Paul's Miraculous Adventure. Musical Shout Outs as well: Chariots of Fire for a slo-mo action scene; Mission: Impossible for a seemingly insurmountable obstacle; Rihanna's "S&M" when Jin is looking at himself, etc. | |
