Oh my

For me this whole case was so difficult to watch because it was heartbreaking in every way possible. Maybe it was because Cha Soo Hyun was a victim herself, or maybe it's because I felt bad for the culprit, even though his childhood with his abusive mother doesn't justify any of the killings, but I still had a really hard time getting angry with him, because he was so messed up that I thought that what he got and what he has become was punishment enough for him. Also I was so shook when I saw the scene where the culprit's mother killed his dog and put it in one of those plastic bags and continuously told him (while putting him in a small bag) that that would bring him comfort, because it explained why he killed all of these women in the first place and why he killed them this way. I don't think he himself realised that he was committing crimes with killing them. On the contrary, I truly believe that he thought he was helping them, doing them a favour with ending their lives. He was trying to give them comfort. Do for them what he couldn't do for himself. It's messed up, really. And so sad. Everything about this case was sad and depressing. Beginning with the culprit's past to Cha Soo Hyun's empathy with the victims and to her becoming a victim herself.

I really liked this episode. I just love the conversations between Min Joo and Mi Rae. They're always full of wisdom and they feel so real. And I'm really so glad that Mi Rae found herself a mentor like Min Joo because this woman is just awesome. She knows what she wants and how to get it. And in case she fails on the way she knows how to deal with her failures and how to get up again. She doesn't fear any consequences (well she does, but she doesn't hesitate to accept that she has to deal with them) to get what makes her happy. She always puts herself in the first place in her life without being too self-centered or mean to others. Because even if she is her own number one, she is always ready to help others and giving them advice that's worth a lot. She is kind and just pretty cool. Haha, I sound like a little fan girl, don't I? Well, she's just that awesome and deserves more than she already has.

I'm also glad that she realized that her relationship with Joon Woo won't last because she doesn't like him that way. She isn't in love with him and she probably won't fall in love with him. I'm also glad that she decided that she was going to be honest with him and tell him how she really feels about him.

That's why I'm actually a little annoyed with him. Why the hell did he think that the kiss was appropriate at this situation? They were just talking with each other and there was tension in the air, but not that kind of sexual tension that calls for a kiss (honestly, what's wrong with kdrama male leads and their surprise kisses that are way out of place?!?!?!). I mean I was really surprised. How must Min Joo have felt being kissed by him? Probably not that good. In the scene where Joon Woo took her to watch the fireworks I believe Min Joo panicked a bit because THAT situation screams *kiss scene* all over. Which made her want to leave this situation as soon as possible. But that may be my own interpretation.

Another think that I dislike is the way Ji Seon behaves. That woman is so manipulative. And I dislike how she tries to make Joon Woo feel guilty so that he'd stay with her. And I also can't get rid of the feeling that she overdosed on those pills so that Joon Woo would realize how much she needs him, which would make him stay by her side, because he'd also realize that he can't live without her.

But I hope that's just how I perceived this and not how she really meant it.



Anyways I'n looking forward to Min Joo and Joon Woo's breakup and to see how Sang Sik's and Min Joo's relationship will deepen and when they'll realize that they're head over heels in love (even if they're already that "old"). I'm also curious about the other characters and hope that this drama won't disappoint me.

omg

The thing about this episode is that pretty much everything that has happened in that was expected to happen. For example I wasn't surprised that Chul learned about the fictional world he lived in or that he entered the real world. That was eventually to happen. But the thing that DID surprise me is how all of this was delivered. The way the actors and actresses their emotions and how they played their roles was excellent. Also I love how Chul seems like a 3D character in a 2D world with 2D people. There's more depth to his character. And his awareness of his surroundings and the things happening in his (fictional) world made this episode special.



Things that I enjoyed in this episode were that Soo Bong is on Yeon Joo's side and that he's believing her. I also loved So Hee in this episode, even though she worked against Yeon Joo, because in her book it was the right thing to do. She is a 2D character and her personality is fixed. It can't be changed the way Chul's personality can be changed, because she lacks the awareness that he possesses. That's why it would have been wrong if she acted any other way than she did. Everything else would be not true to her character and the way she was written.

Another thing that I liked is that Chul is now in the real world and I guess he's now out there seeking for revenge. He wants revenge for his messed up life and the murder of his family. It's somehow like a self-fulfilling prophecy: The thing that writer Oh was most afraid of - being killed by Chul - might come true now. This would never have happened, if he wasn't afraid of something that might've never happened. I actually still am wondering why he felt so threatened by Chul. Is it because Chul seemed to develop a consciousness and an awareness outside of what he wrote him to be? Or did he feel guilty that he killed Chul's parents for no apparent reason? Does he feel like a murderer? Is he afraid of the consequences of his deeds? I wonder what it is and I can't find out what motivated him to act the way he did.

Chul got a lot of his questions answered. Now it's our turn to get enlightened a little bit more and I'm so excited for the answers that we'll get! I hope we won't be disappointed.

Yesssss

For me this was the most enjoyable episode so far and I think that this may be because we got to see Soo Hyuk's and Mi Mo's relationship getting deeper and them spending more time together and because they are now truly caring for each other. I love their dynamic! And they look so good together!

I also loved Mi Mo getting closer to Min Woo and spending so much time with him in this episode. I hope to see them together more often in the further episodes because their relationship is so cute (also I absolutely love future stepmothers getting friendly with their future stepchildren).

If I didn't already enjoy this episode, I was so thankful for Soo Hyuk for being finally honest with himself and for telling his friend how things stood for him and that he respected him enough to tell him that he was in love with his girlfriend.

I truly can't wait for the next episode and I hope that things will keep on getting better from this point on because I really enjoyed this episode a lot and I wish for it to only get more enjoyable from now on.

Why a love triangle?

I'm not saying that I'm disappointed with this drama, but I also can't pretend that I'm absolutely happy with where it is seemingly headed. Actually I don't really care for love triangles. I do neither hate them nor do I love them. I just don't care for them. But in this case, it's a bit different because I started this drama thinking that Soo Hyuk will be THE ONE from the very beginning. That him and Mi Mo will try to figure out their relationship and that they'll get to know each other better in the process. Without this third party (I really don't care for him at all - just go looking for your luck somewhere else please) that is kinda annoying me. With Mr. doctor things will get a notch more complicated and for me he somehow lacks the depth that all the other characters bring to the story. But that may be just my biased opinion. The only thing I'm truly hoping for is that the love triangle won't take too much screen time and that no relationships will be forever broken (maybe except the relationship between Mi Mo and the doctor .....).

Ok, this episode managed to send chills down my spine. Yoo Jung is one of these characters that I can't really fathom. His way of thinking is so strange and it just doesn't make any sense to me. He isn't empathetic or in any way emotional (although he seems to always be out for vengeance) yet he seems to understand what other people are thinking (otherwise he wouldn't be able to use them for his own good) and maybe what they are feeling, Agh, it's difficult to explain, because I don't really comprehend his person. But I don't think that he's normal. Because noone, who thinks that everyone else is strange except hisself, is normal. That's a given.

But even though I think that he'd be capable of murder I don't dislike him (because I'm biased, sorry), I don't want him to be in a relationship with Seol as long as he's the creep he currently is. Their relationship is currently unhealthy and it wouldn't make her happy over the long term and I want her to be in a relationship in which she feels secure. So I'm really looking forward to seeing how their relationship will unfold and how they will change and what role In Ho will play in all of this.

what now

At some point I've lost count of how many times I've cried while watching this episode. I cried because of the sad scenes, the happy ones and the touching ones. I would not be surprised if my face is all swollen right now.

But this episode was too much for my heart to bear. It felt like the writers wanted to shove a huge 'goodbye' in to my face while I'm not ready to say goodbye to all of the characters and the story. I feel like I was being forced to break up with my friends, without a promise or hope to see them ever again. The goodbye was shoved into my face and I had no say in it. But I was (and probably will never be) not ready to be parted from those people. They grew on me and I felt like they were a part of my life. And now I have to keep on going without them. I guess, that's what groing up feels like.



(this review doesn't make any sense, but I hope you forgive me because the emotions are killing me and I'm in denial and need to get my thoughts out there. sorry again)

my poor heart

This drama doesn't make it easy for me to review its episodes because my mood changes in every scene. About 5 minutes before the ending I was bawling my eyes out and I intended to write about how much my heart hurts because of the many deaths that occur in this episode and how unfair that is and how relieved I am that none of the friends was hurt. I was so happy to see Chilbong alive and without any injuries. You can't imagine how I felt (even though we know that he's alive, because he appears in the future).

But now, here I am grinning from ear to ear because Na Jeong and Trash Oppa are FINALLY going on a date. This is so awesome! And have I ever mentioned how much I love Trash Oppa? I think I fell in love with him. I fell so deep that I even find him blinking attractive. I can't explain it, but I love the way he blinks. Hahaha, ok, well, but he's an awesome person and I giggled so much when he told his brother that he's in love with a new person (I'll ignore the fact that he could show Na Jeon more affection during the wedding).

Ah, I can't wait to see them more attached to each other and I also am curious to see them grow as a couple not only as friends. It will probably a bit awkward to be the lover of a person you thought of as a sibling/best friend for a very long time. But I'm sure they'll somehow manage it. Even though I'm a bit wary because we still have many episodes to go and I'm afraid that something will go wrong before it can go right at the end. But yeah, let's watch and see how the story will unfold.

This is a must watch

I saw a gif on tumblr about this, which made me interested in this special. But I never expected myself to love this as much as I do. I love the characters (especially the main leads) because they're awesome and they also have great chemistry. Moreover everything feels so natural and you feel like rooting for them because they deserve all the good things to come their way. It is also so fun see the two main leads interact with each other and to see how much they enjoy their friendship (and also the slowly arising love).

Even though the first episode was pretty much consistently funny, there were some moments that were so warm and who will probably move some people to tears, because they were so cute and heart-warming. Especially since I somehow could understand Dan Bi and feel her sorrow (I loved the conversations about math, haha) and how hard it can be, to give your best out of fear that it won't be enoughand that you'll fail nonetheless. So that was kinda relatable to me.

Although this isn't the last episode yet, I feel a little bit sad that we'll have to part with this drama special after this short of a time. I would've loved it if you could've gotten some more episodes. But then again, it could've been less enjoyable. So I'll just be happy with the (hopefully) 2 awesome episodes that we have(will get.

The feels!

This episode was absolutely awesome. It had everything I wanted to have in this drama. I loved the whole story about the parents slowly groing old and I also loved that we got to see a lot more of the Slam Dunk girl (excuse my rudeness). That was the first episode that she spent time with the others. And she is honestly hilarious and might be one of my favourite characters of the show. Although to be honest, I'm probably already in love with everyone in this show. Their interactions are gold.

And even though I couldn't get accustomed to this show a few episodes ago, everything started growing on me since episode 5. And I'm looking forward to getting to know who Na Jung's husband will be (I'm tipping on Trash, but I'm not so sure).



Also, did I mention how much I love the parents? Well, I love them a lot. And I hope that I someday will have a marriage that is as awesome as theirs. Because honestly, they have everything that I'm looking for in a relationship and I'm in love with them.

flashbacks

I think this is by far my favourite episode so far. Although we didn't see our main leads even once (at least not in the present time), I enjoyed every bit of this episode. I would've never thought that I could love an episode where we'd only get to see flashbacks, but everything was lovable about this. I liked the kinda sad and kinda warm atmosphere and it was good to see more of the protagonists story. Especially Seon Young. It is good to know, why she acts the way she does and to learn about her way of thinking.

Ah, I don't know what more to say, because I'm so in trance because of this episode. It had a surreal feeling to it and I feel like I'm nostalgic and as if I've drunken some warm cocoa. It's hard to describe.

But I can't wait for the next episode. Even though I don't believe that I'll like anything that is coming our way as much as I liked this episode.

good

Although there were some scenes in the first 2 episodes that made me feel really uncomfortable, these kinds of scenes are hopefully decreasing in the future (at least there weren't that many in this episode). And with uncomfortable I don't mean scenes that give me second hand embarrassment but the ones that show people make fun of Joo Eun because she is overweight.

All in all I liked this episode a lot. Especially the scenes were the 3 guys and Joo Eun trained together. Although the training seemed hard, Joon Sung and Ji Woong (aka fake John Kim) and Joo Eun seemed to enjoy themselves a little bit and I absolutely love how Ji Woong is like a puppy when he's with Joo Eun.

Now I'm soooo looking forward to seeing how Hoo Eun will react to real John Kim's confession. Will she believe him, or will she think that he's hoaxing her? I also want to know how these 2 knew each other from the past (I think I've read that somewhere).

I hate romcoms

Everytime I start watching a new romcom I try to convince myself that it won't turn into a melodrama and that it will stay a romcom till the end, but until now I don't think I've seen a romcom stay a romcom throughout the drama. At least I can't think of one, but ok, I think I can live with this. Or at least I try to.

The last scene was way too heartbreaking. Although I have seen the preview of the last episode I didn't expect that this scene would have this impact on me and I sure as hell didn't expect it to leave me this confused. But now I have some weird theories:

1. Is Haeng Ah Seon Young's daughter? And Is Ri Hwan Joon Hyeok son? Ok, I know this is probably impossible and the idea seems too far-fetched (especially since it wouldn't make any sense since the father was alive even while the kids were teenies), but this whole situation seems kinda strange. Why the hell would Seon Young ask for Haeng Ah after waking up? Is it because Haeng Ah is her lover's daughter and she didn't want to have her son in the first place?

2. Could it be possible that Haeng Ah's father is the father of both Haeng Ah and Ri Hwan? Is that the reason why SeonYoung is against them being lovers?

3. And who the hell is Ri Hwan's father? Why is it such a secret? And why didn't she want to have Ri Hwan in the first place? Was it because of her father, who didn't want her to have him (but then she could've got an abortion)? (also I know that that's not a theory, but I needed to write it down nonetheless)



And last but not least: OMG, HOW CUTE ARE SE YOUNG AND JOON SOO? These 2 are so cute and I ship them so hard!!! These cutiepies!

(Y)

This drama is so good and I feel refreshed after watching it. Although it makes me feel all kinds of emotions and even though I'm moved to tears, I'm loving every bit of it. I love the relationship between the homeroom teacher and his students (also the cheerleading teacher is BAMF and I love her) and the scene where Yeon Doo told him that 1. she has found her friends and 2. that he's the "chosen" teacher I had to cry. This scene was so sweet and so sad at the same time.

And omg, Ha Joon is breaking me. I honestly can't stand watching Ji Soo getting mistreated anymore and I was so angry when I saw Ha Joon's father hitting him. Even though I knew that he mistreated his son, I was actually shocked when I saw it. Especially since he did it in broad daylight, where anyone could have witnessed it. I'm glad Yeon Doo was the one though. Even though it seems like she awakened his interest this way. Even though I liked the little interactions they had, I can't help but see myself being heartbroken. And I'll probably end up with second lead syndrome either way. Because I love all these boys.
