I’ll miss Lee Joon Gi mesmerising us on screen. This show is easily in my top 5 now, and I am so glad that despite starting out as an underdog, it’s receiving so much love now. I follow tvn’s Instagram and the recent flower of evil posts (from say past 5-7 eps) have been getting huge traction – I’m so so happy for the cast that their hardwork is getting recognized. I couldn’t physically keep up with his facial expressions in this episode.

Then the bestfriend was just annoying too. And because I didn’t get to comment on it in the last recap, I still love, love, LOVE the moment between Kitae and his mother on the phone and the ones here between KiTae’s mom, aunt and halmoni. I love how much this show emphasised the importance of family. It did a tremendous job of showcasing that even if they’re dysfunctional and you’re not close to them – your family still shapes you into who you are in a big way. It was wonderful seeing the love between the women in KiTae’s family and seeing his father get his comeuppance and Mom get her fire back. Just like how JangMi’s parents made a scene at the hospital while making up – seeing that made me realize that she got her “scene-making” ways from them.

Definitely the breakout stars of the year for me. I’ve never seen them in anything before and I’m just so mighty impressed. 16 episodes later Im so happy with this couple, Im going to miss them. This drama made me laugh, even cry a little and made me care for many of the characters. Ki-tae and Jang-mi are so good and so cute together, and I only can agree, the family aspect in this drama is one of its strongest angles.

I think one reason why the ending worked for me was because of who I understand AHS and SJ to be as entertainers in general (acting, and for SJ singing as well). Of course I might have just drunk the Kool-aid and be looking at everything with rose-tinted lenses but hear me out. Also, I really wanted the drama to end on a double wedding ngl and was a little disappointed we never saw Ha-ri’s extra reaction to Yeong-Seo’s engagement. Even if it did not end perfectly as we expected, this show was amazing.

Their affection for each other is real and palpable and not just for show. The story surprised me with how lovely it turned out to be despite it’s shortness and Yeon Woo-jin is wonderful in it. Lastly, for those who may miss watching Yeon Woo Jin Last night I watched episode 1 of Kara’s Secret Love, Missing You. On a totally different note, Yeon Woo Jin has officially switched from a reason for me NOT to watch a drama to a reason FOR me to watch a drama. I really loved the OTP, but the scene that by far made me grin the most was the one where the 3 women collectively kicked dad to the curb. But I am beginning to love Korean culture and actors.

Drama Casting & News

He’s into embrace and he’s warm with skinship and all. – I’m NOT saying yelling at her was the right thing to do. The point is that he was so upset and concerned that his emotions over-rided doing the “right” thing. He is just waking up to his feelings and so all that bottled up emotion is spilling out in the wrong ways. I acknowledge that he does perhaps seem to genuinely like Jang- Mi, but it’s again his mask that doesn’t let me climb onboard his support vessel.

I agree that both leads really gave their best in their roles…and I’m a real fan of them now. Hopefully they will move on to bigger and better http://www.loveexamined.net/ projects. Thing is I feel that cable sometimes used lesser known actors who doesn’t command the same buzz but somehow produces better results.

Se Ah does it, too – in KT’s world, marriage are a way to manipulate, and they’re never what’s true. That’s why Ki Tae was vulnerable to more of the touching between him and Jang Mi, and why her kiss completely undid him. Maybe they should join the cast of it’s Okay, it’s Love, no shortage of therapy needing people there. Despite the bat-crazy second leads, and sicko “best friend. I interpreted the family meeting differently.

Yes, we all want a happy ending and have been so focused on that. But, at least I forgot that it was not only Ji Won who was deceived for 14 years but also DHS who stayed hidden for 14 years. He was not himself the whole time, at least by theory.

Contrasting the parallel stills in ep 1 and ep 16 of the Do family hugging and main leads kissing….wow… I gotta say — this show really took a toll on MCW. The first 10 episodes or so when tensions were running extremely high just blew me away – I began following the show weekly after the 10th. From seeing him being serial killer-ish to that last scene in episode15, Do Hyun Su has been portrayed beautifully. I will rewatch the whole show only for his crazy microexpressions.

Momopeach

Remember, in the previous episodes, BHS only wanted attention from his father (who was always absent at home due to work), and he finally got it in the end, though in the most surreal way. With regards to BHS, I was a bit sad that we didn’t get a back story as to why he ended up like that. But I guess the drama mainly focused on our MCs. He was one of the biggest advantages of this drama. Without him, the last few episodes wouldn’t be so thrilling to watch.

I was hoping for something similar to Dexter, and I’m not comparing but it felt like Hyunsu could’ve been a much stronger character had they not completely diluted his abilities towards the end. I have this habit of watching Kdramas that are already completed than watching them while they are on going. I decided to watch it mainly because of the actors. Always the same line “He is so hot.”
“He is so good looking.”
“Fake relationship.”
“Bright and out going FL.”

Jang Mi is legitimately upset that he has made a fool out of her when she truly loved him and even dreamt of a future with him. She’s so angry that she brings the bottle over her head about to strike him but Gi Tae steps in to stop her. He tells her that he’s helping her and that she should be grateful but after seeing her cry, he lets her go chase after Hoon Dong.
