Not my Man or Mama!

Let the games begin... ep13 was dang good! King lovin some JOJ all the time knowing & exercising her political prowess with and on him-all about the reciprocity darlings! Queen In is fully into the game now, along side Queen Mom, all against the wench whose got the man... A couple scenes from this are stand-out good: 1) When she calmly preps, then seduces him at the gate 'blissfully taken off his path" to a place he did not want to go or partake 2) JOJ and sewing girl in the wash water 3) the b-slap the Queen thought she was getting was priceless-only to have her court girl get the smack-down 2x's. BadBoy is back & ready for action against his uncle much to the delight of Evil Min... Another full filled episode of JoJ & King & kingdom of power struggles - still wondering when he's going to say "lets go home & make a baby" in-front of Lil & Big Queen. Tickets for that show anyone?

Tae who?

To come off the cliff hanger of a lifetime with this episode, I am just a tad bit miffed. Ok, she sacrificed herself(lamb/goat)for the wolf's survival and he gets the classic amnesia forgetting the lamb/goat (TGS). Come-on Hong sisters you have been creative up to this point and kept us anxious as to their fate, now you give us the same old amnesia backstory to get us forward? Now we must deal with evil twin, blindsided Auntie, betrayal from Kim and TGS backstory of her hurt intersecting w/JW past deception event(I'm betting). We are down to the final 4 episodes and lots of ground to cover, so I only hope this does not take too long for the story to get us anxious again. btw-loved the return of the kids, creepy lady & TGS ghostly support system. Let's get that fiery lead chemistry reignited & reconnected...

Solid Start for S2

DtrXS2 picks up neatly from S1 with her being placed in another hostile work environment. In the opening scenes we learn she is a Vet - vet surgeon along with her on-going loosing streaks remaining. Her manager is back to torment the HC admin one melon at a time while still collecting the $$. Looks like in this season she will tangle with another female snake along with GOBoys clubs. Again DTRX is a refreshing series depicting a positive, intelligent, assertive, and confident medical professional simply wanting to do surgery in a minefield after years of honing her talent. This series affirms there are confident women out there, still battling the age-old fight of Boys Clubs & and stigmas. Great start for S2 - only question: Where's Ben Casey?

Why? Pink Slipped!

I am officially done with 50ep drama. 100yr then ISuG both with lousy, pitiful endings proving a waste of talent & time. I could not finish ep49 due to buckets of so much love syrup from just MEAN tigers for 48eps, proving tigers can change their stripes to spots - at least in kdrama land. Watching MH clapping & smiling for HS, even he had doubt/sadness in his eyes + SD scornfully telling MJ that the child will still be part of the family descendents (Damn, the poor girl is moving, raising a child by herself - enough crazy lady)all made me hit the stop button,that's right no PAUSE, just STOP now. Why are they even showing 49-50 to prove what? This show had some talent and started with a tigers roar - yet somewhere in a rush became this mild, lovey-dovey kitty. Why? The real looser in this entire debacle was MH, proving this is fairy kdrama land & she should be happy to have a real job/career screw her personal life, where the pink slip was delivered and she got played!

Way too much lovey-dovey for these characters - really?

Evil#3 is kicks herself out the house and claims repentance - really???? Yoona & HS, all lovey - really? Mistress#2 wants Evil to live with her - really?

Sadly, the most miserable are all lovey making them most distasteful, disingenuous & bitter - SimS is top of my list being at plain bitter, mean ajumma insisting on treating her potential DiLaw like a dirty rag thinking her son is better and was almost married to a pharmacist - really? This eps is 2 off the finale this weekend and I am wondering - really it took 50ep to see this? MH what happens to her? The ultimate whipping child? Lost her man 2x's, mother 2x's, adopted, adopted-long lost sister loving/marrried to her man - Really??? Lets just end this long bitter story - Really?

You were adopted!!!!!!

Ep 37-38 were OK - they provided links for the storyline however just filled space to get us to the next chapters. So for me, I am just hanging on for the next step...

Standouts:

1.MH mother is really a pitiful person. Her inability to communicate or connect with her kids, is not much better than the BigDaddy's dictatorial family style. This is beyond culture, this is just bad parenting. Her vengeful blurt out of truth in ep38 was wrong. Came from anger & revenge NOT parental love POV.

2. HT is the one manchild worth his weight in water. He is finally coming into his own and decided what he wants & what he is willing to accept to be a man for his wife & family.

3. The Yoona/MH clash was so expected NO surprises. Of course sisters, of course good vs spoiled, and hopefully not too much over-the-top contrived drama since they have pulled HS out of pic for awhile to focus on the Yoona-Sister and EvilMother #3

4. The most notable was the new, kinder-gentler,SY. All caused by her motherly instincts - blah, blah, blah... Leopards do not change spots, and tiger do not lose stripes - this greedy lady has not changed, just changed tactics! Sadly, her hubby admitted she is his first & only love and in dire straits. Damn shame she is his benchmark for what love is or is not. They are two lost people held together by greed and lack of ANY genuineness even for each other.

Still, this these two eps were good to OK YET necessary parts for the remaining storyline.

Thick Tears...Divorce is in the air...

Ep 33-34:EvilMother#3 is on a roll,destroying happiness all around her not figuring that her family is shrinking and she is hanging herself. Son#1& EM#3 chatting over tea reminded me of an innocent having a chat with the devil, one expecting a fair chat all the while the devil is consuming the air & life out of the innocent. Ep33 showed Syrupy B getting kicked out after threatening her in-laws - a divine scene with her in house slippers, tossed out pounding the door & pleading,and her hubby tossing her stuff on the ground. The newlyweds are the only glimmer of happy with both knowing wrath&loathing; is on their heels. Ep 34 moved quick, divorce is in the air for all three boys, Yoona is back, MG trying to find her place since she is harnessed by her status hungry adopted mom. Son #1 is girding himself for all out battles with his mother, father, wife - damn, that man is stuck in quicksand. Son #2 is just creepy & might be opening eyes to understand his evil mother is NOT his friend. Overall,the pace has quickened (thankfully)and offers us less makjang and melodrama of rich & middle class and how the should never mix.

Call my secretary - I'm pissed off!

Ep 45-46 What can I say without spoiling for others... I have hung on this far & hoped CW would waken from her zombie stupor of victimhood But noooooooooooo, she wandered around SY as he continues profess his love. Again, grandpa is the ONLY redeeming role who is facing death while welcoming change and new ideas with this dull & unrepentant family. CW & SY = skids, divorce is in the air, death of loved ones awaits,Lies running around like lost puppies all the while the writers have really pissed me at the final 4 episodes... Now my only correction is that if they didnt write the CW role to be Zombie, then this actress is horrible, and should have been on show the walking dead. I am sooooooo pissed at this series right now...nothing happy to say without spoiling - and pissing you off too.
