Shut Up Flower Boy Band Ep. 13 Review

If there's a time to tell your best friends that you have a secret girlfriend, it's definitely NOT a press conference. I just finished watching Shut Up Flower Boy Band episode 13. We left off with Ji Hyuk answering a persnickety journalist's question about his rumored girl friend. Out of all the opportunities Ji Hyuk had, he had to choose today to be honest about Su Ah. Even though I knew Ji Hyuk would confess, I couldn't stop myself from hitting my head on the desk, yelling at Ji Hyuk to just Shut up!
Sure, Ji Hyuk was just trying to do the right thing, but timing is everything! Mostly I hate the chain effect he created. Ji Hyuk obviously wasn't thinking when he announced his relationship status to the world because now Su Ah is crying and so is Woo Kyung while Seung Hoon is infuriated, and the band's second single is put at a standstill! And that's just not even the half of it. Aissh... Ji Hyuk what were you thinking? What's worse is that he's trying to make up for his mistake  by trying to deal with his problem himself taking up the role of courageous martyr when really he's making things worse! 


Then we have my favorite part of the episode, for I have been anticipating this moment. Hyun Soo and Ye Rim finally did that duet! Finally! They make such a good couple and I love Ye Rim's character because she doesn't cling to Hyun Soo vying for his attention; rather she acts all cool by being straightforward yet sincere towards Hyun Soo. So far, Hyun Soo has been trying to avoid her as much as possible, but his eyes revealed his true feelings! I loved how he took a couple of side glances at Ye Rim as she charmed him with her voice! I am expecting better results with this couple. 


Now here's the tearjerker, the pent up anger and the conflicts that have been building up since episode 1 have reached it's boiling point and all the lies are beginning to unravel. The boys each face their conflicts beginning with Ji Hyuk and Su Ah, then comes in Hyun Soo. He's been a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Suspicions run high when there are rumors of Hyun Soo making a solo debut. Ha Jin, heartbroken over Ye Rim's duet with Hyun Soo and his solo prospects, drowns his sorrow in his favorite pastimes: soju and girls. Kyong Jong tries fervently to keep the band together, while Do Il remains as stoic as ever. Matters become worse as Ji Hyuk finds out about Hyun Soo's sister, who has been sick in the hospital. With this being said, Ji Hyuk takes up his responsibility as leader and he negotiates with the director to release a full album, but instead he ends up agreeing to Hyun Soo's solo. He further seals Hyun Soo's solo by "choosing Su Ah over him". In actuality, Ji Hyuk is just lying because he knew the only way Hyun Soo would agree to the solo was to lie to him. The courageous martyr strikes again! And yet, this is just the beginning. Now the band is broken and scarred; it hurts to say this, but Eye Candy has broken up, and the next episode has got me pining for more.
