Spring of Youth – K-drama Episode 8 Recap & Review

Episode 8 Episode 8 of Spring of Youth begins with Bom coming across Tae-yang in a mall, surrounded by his fans. When she gets knocked down, he helps her up and even gives her some medicine. Later, Bom and the others head out for another gig. This one is at Seoul National University, where Two Sa Gye is performing as a surprise guest. When they're gone, Seung-su breaks into the house and steals the money he had given Sa Gye. Sa Gye and the others find out when they are back but Sa Gye reveals that he had set up a secret camera to record the thief — it was a trap. He's shocked to learn that it's Seung-su and goes to confront him. He then reveals that he and his mother lied to Seung-su when Sa Gye lost his sight. Seung-su was the one practising with Sa Gye when he got injured and they didn't want him to feel guilty. Now, Sa Gye tells Seung-su the truth, which crushes him. After the confrontation, Sa Gye buys some flowers and visits the columbarium where Bom's mother's remains are. Unbeknownst to him, Bom follows and watches him in secret. Meanwhile, Ji-na tells Tae-yang that he will soon be selected as the brand ambassador for H, a renowned clothing brand. She reveals that Min-cheol pulled a few strings to make it happen. Seung-su, having had a change of heart, goes to the office and adds the photograph of Min-cheol and little Tae-yang standing by the SUV to one of the news articles about Tae-yang (he had earlier removed this to hide the SUV). He then heads back to see Sa Gye and tries to atone by telling him about the car. Paired with the flashes from his dreams, Sa Gye realises Min-cheol was involved in the accident. The next morning, Sa Gye confronts Min-cheol about this as he's leaving for work. His reaction confirms the truth. Tae-yang intervenes and tells Sa Gye to leave his father alone. Min-cheol makes Tae-yang go to work, where he has received an invitation to visit Hanju University as part of his press lineup. Tae-yang asks Ji-na to organize that visit before everything else. Back home, Ja-young has an argument with Jin-gu and refuses to serve him fish. Gyu-ri takes some upstairs for him in secret and the two share a moment. When Sa Gye returns to the house, Bom tells him she knows he's hiding something but he brushes it off. At the hospital, things get worse for Min-cheol as a reporter has been looking into the death of the old woman whose surgery Min-cheol postponed. He then gets a call from the police station. Turns out, Sa Gye has given a report about witnessing a car accident from six years ago involving Min-cheol's car. Now, the detective asks Min-cheol to come in for questioning. Meanwhile, Ji-na tries to ask Tae-yang to go out for dinner with her but he is more focused on his visit to Hanju University. At university, Bom learns that Tae-yang is visiting and even planning on donating new equipment to their band. At the police station, the detective questions Seo Min-cheol. His lawyer soon gets him out and Min-cheol immediately meets with Jo Sang-heon. Sang-heon is livid when he realises Min-cheol gave the photo of the car to the reporter. They play the blame game and Min-cheol brings up his investment in Jo's company, ordering him to take care of the situation. Back at university, Bom convinces the others to be part of Tae-yang's visit to the college. Sa Gye hates the idea but ultimately caves in. As Bom walks through the town, the Christmas lights remind her of a memory with her mother. She reaches home and finds a postcard for Sa Gye from his mother, in which she mentions his loss of sight. At the end of Spring of Youth Episode 8, Bom realises that he received her mother's eyes in a transplant. Inside, Sa Gye has done up the whole place in Christmas lights. She reveals that she knows the truth and is happy that it was him. The Episode Review Spring of Youth Episode 8 keeps things moving! Seung-su's character has definitely become more fascinating in the last two episodes as he walks a moral grey area. His final confrontation with Sa Gye reveals that despite his actions, he does care about him. These events also offer a nice lead-up to Sa Gye learning that Min-cheol was involved in Bom's mother's death. Sa Gye's decision to tell the police that he witnessed the whole thing feels a tad reckless. But like with the secret camera and the suitcase, I'm hoping he has a plan up his sleeve. His relationship with Bom also takes a big step. She finally realises the truth about the organ transplant and it's done quite well. The emotional beats hit the spot, particularly with all those pretty Christmas lights around them. It is a shame we don't see the band perform more, though. It would also be nice to know if they have other songs apart from 'See You Later'. Overall, this one is a well-written, engaging episode that gears things up for the K-drama's final stretch!
