Memoirs of Gallen & Jessica - Episode 24

Watch Chinese
To help Ivan and Sabrina win the court case, Ivan was forced to betray Rachel. From Sabrina's and Ivan's testimonies, Rachel realizes that Sabrina deserves Ivan. She finally understands all the burdens bestowed on Ivan that made him unable to choose his way. On the contrary, she did not blame Ivan for betraying her. She said to Hong, "If you had to pick between two choices, and the decision that you make will hurt both, can you really choose?"

Ivan and Rachel have come to a mutual understanding and both agreed that they can't be together. Rachel tells him, "Love is not your first priority. Family, responsibilities, friendship are all more important to you than love. It also made you unable to choose your way." She tells him that she's not mad at his betrayal but feels bad for him. However, she admits that she is still hurt but knows that he's hurting even more. Ivan has nothing to offer her and all he could manage to say is, "sorry."

He admits to her, "When we were trapped under water, I really wanted to escape. But now, I rather live in that moment with you forever." I think my heart melted when he said that.

This break-up had more closure than their first break-up. There were no loose-ends not tied, no anger, and no regrets. Thus, both were willingly and able to move forward without anything holding back. Rachel made him promise not to share/do the things they’ve done together (bread, firecrackers, guardian necklace) and even joked that it was wise of him not to be with her since she demands too many requests. Judging by Ivan’s expression, he didn’t agree with her. Her last words was wising him happiness. That would be hard, judging by Ivan's pained and choked expressions.

Gallen and Jessica were fantastic. They prove that you don't need to spill a litre of tears to make a scene touching or memorable.
