There is a huge fatal flaw with this drama. Annoying and unlikable characters. I feel like this episode helped Dong Hoon out. Ji An got character assassinated.Dong Hoon seems like a detached and cold person. Judging from the pictures of his son, he's dealing with the loss of a child. He's not mentioned his son or talked about it. Clearly his dealing with that. His wife clearly is either grieving in away that has detached herself from them as a couple, or moved on. Either way she's right: "She's a bad person." She might have said we instead of she, but to conspire against her husband like that. With a man that is clearly corrupt, done something to her husband repeatedly. She wouldn't just be getting her husband fired, having an affair and divorce, but on top of the loss of a child. When Dong Hoon got the warning that his wife new about the money he should stay suspicious. He's taking all the warning seriously and knows that Joon Yeong is after him. He knows it's not for the company and has even deduces that Joon Yeong has done him wrong and he is unaware of it. With the cold wife like that it wouldn't be too hard to piece. Especially because she already admitted to calling him. What I'm truly confused about is why he can't find work elsewhere? Is it that Korea is that hard of a place to find new work? People can't stay with a job forever. Whether it's their choice or not. It's also clear his older brother has looked for work, but is picky and apparently bad credit means you can't be hired? Doesn't that seem stupid? You need to work to get out of debt. Clearly I'm missing out on something about South Korea's economics and how the working world works there.Now back to Ji An. It's understandable that being that poor and under duress from her loan shark anyone can become desperate. I mean she lost her dish cleaning job, AKA source of food. (What monster fires someone who needs so bad that they're only stealing the leftovers!!??!! No really!) However, she showed some amazing skills her AND some high tech equipment and planning. Yes her gamer friend is helping. But that equipment alone could probably pay back her debts. Not to mention all her conning and skills could have clearly used in another way. By now I have no doubt she knows that Dong Hoon is a good person. Yet she's working against him like this. She's a horrible person. It's gonna take a lot more to make me like her. Plus, she's so conceded she thinks everyone wants her. That's kind of joke, but not really since she keeps bring it up. There are too many things adding up. That Ji An's temp agency helped with the bribe and has so many connections with Dong Hoon's company. That she knew to work Joon Yeong side. Though if she really just randomly settled with him to help out then I question her. She should be good at judging people by now. I mean she made a joke that she's glad Joon Yeong wanted to talk because she was worried about him killing her. If the writer was smart this would be an elaborate plan the real owner was doing to flush out the bad seeds. I don't see it though. Dong Hoon's brothers do grow on you. Though the eldest is super annoying. Clearly he knows about whatever happened to Dong Hoon's son, but still thinks his brother just has this cool easy life. I fell like the younger brother should have kept all the information on Ji An to help out Dong Hoon. At least they both have a job working "Brothers Cleaning". I feel like this might not last with dolts like them. There was some real sprinkles of humor in here and I hope that means the endless hopelessness/bleakness of this drama and it's leads will ease up. There's only so much someone can take. Not to mention Ji An's grandma looked sick and we have no further word on that. Her gamer friend. Why aren't we explaining that? I will admit the emotions are intense and even the work politics are interesting. Still it needs more soon.

Marriage, Not Dating Episode 3
2 people found this review helpful
Okay, so this episode really helped to fleshout our crazy wonderful Jang Mi. Especially as she realized that she doesn't want revenge, she just wants to simply move on. She doesn't want to become jaded either. She wants to be her, and love how she wants. We also find out that somehow when she was home alone at 5 she almost died, so that's wear her issues with being alone stem from.
I can also see that Jang Mi and Yeo Reum may not be that great of an idea. He finds her amusing and doesn't really want to give it ago. At least that's what I felt when they finally got their "date". I really like the idea of seeing that the second lead may not be compatible with the female lead.
Ki Tae seems cold. This episode give us glimpses into a warmer side that he keeps hidden. It also shows that because his mom manages people, that's what he does. Her control freak ways are probably the biggest factor for his need for alone time. Or even whatever happened in the past between him and Se Ah. Though I wonder why granny thinks she has something to do with it? (Maybe his mom has her confused.)
I'm a little confused why Jang Mi's friend is so self righteous. After all she knows the full story of what happened between her and Hoon Dong. It hasn't even been that long. Yet she states Jang Mi is toying with him and that if they're really friends they'll sort it out. Yet, I think Jang Mi is a good enough person that if she would have talked with her first it would have been better. Probably Jang Mi's main concern would be how her friend would get treated by Hoon Dong. Yes, the friend --Hyun Hee--didn't make bold moves, but she is circling.
Oh, and the debate! It was Nemo, Ki Tae just likes to seem so above it. >_< Another random thing, I am currently watching this on Viki and this is one of the best subber team names ever: "Forget Dating, Give Me the Ring!"
I'm also happy to hear that even Ki Tae's grandma thinks their family is horrible. From blackmail, spying and so on. The family is so forceful who wouldn't flee. Since his family is weird about caring he just can't understand or deal with people who openly and freely care. Though it's clear he was moved by Jan Mi's open heart in the first place.
It's funny that Jang Mi knows him so well. Such as for his home password: "He's a narcissist it's his birthday." Loved the whole drinking thing with the granny! I think they'd love being in laws for real. Though it makes me sad that finally Jang Mi's parents are talking over their joy of their daughters future marriage.
The thing that really ruined this for me was how mean Ki Tae was and that whole locked in the bathroom thing! He had wine and water! He should have been fine just hungry. That is the ridiculous thing. Especially since being "saved" will clearly alter something between Ki Tae and Jang Mi. This should just show Jang Mi he's stupid.
Also, I don't really care for leads who spend more time drunk than sober. I hope this will not be one of those dramas.

Behind Your Smile Episode 18
2 people found this review helpful
First off I am so proud of Lin Man. I love that in the end only her daughter could again break through to her. Even if the words spoken came from someone else. I was so moved. She was genuine. I love that the memory of her words protecting her daughter and an ideal were the final bits that broke through for Lin Man to understand.
That said I think this episode could have been a wrap up. Though it would feel odd for Yi Ting and Xin Yu to get a quick happy ending. It's clear things are a bit more drug out to extend things. Though not bad enough for me to call it filler. I do want Yi Ting and Xin Yu to organically make up.
Oh, and I lived for Yu Nan's confession to Qian Ren. Especially since everyone else knew, but he was totally unaware! Ha-ha. Even his mom!
Oh, and finally there's an open dialogue between Yi Ting and Xin Yu. Though he had to "fake" pretend they weren't really being so open with each other. Yet they were having this romantic open fantasized lunch. Then poof! It wasn't real, but at least they finally talked. He also stated he would never lie to her again.
I'm super shocked that he would totally give up his current job and come back to the farm full time. This is a totally new Yi Ting that I'm delighted to meet. Which is why we need more time with him. So it's all up in the air if this drama will end at 19 or 20. Viki thinks 20. So we'll see. I guess the popularity of the show took everyone by surprise.
I am so happy that Xiao Yue is still there to help out these clueless lovebirds. Evacuating the room to help romance bloom and then shoving him over to her. (Which led to that moving comforting scene in which he tentatively takes Xin Yu and holds her. ;_;) Best part is I new Xiao Yue and Su Zhongwen would make an adorable couple!

The build up is killing me! Everyone wants Jung Moon dead. Ah, so sweet. Woong Cheol and Tae Soo won't do it. Is Woong Cheol's old boss really the one who wants him dead? Or is there some bigger scheme going on. Not to mention that the prosecutor apparently knows what ties Goo Tak has with them. It can't be that he helped put them all away right? That seems to simple. Either way the build up is killing me.
Especially where the this episode leaves Woong Cheol! Ah, my big mean teddy bear. I really adore him. Oh, and that line: "Let's go to die." Ha-ha.
I'm trying to pay attention if anyone else gets the broken bones sound affects when they fight. Tae Soo apparently likes to break arms and wrist. It's kind of funny and I'm trying to pay attention more.
The random shooter thing was interesting, though It's been done in many things even with the plot that it was to cover up specific targets. It was well utilized here, especially to show how are Bad Guys have grown.
I'm still a bit disappointed in Mi Yeong's role. I wonder if she'll truly stay a side kick the whole drama?

I had to sit on this ending for a while. Because it ticked me off that bad. I thought if I cooled down I'd find something that I liked enough to forgive how this drama just gave up.
Nope.
So this drama that did so great at developing its cast, then decided to just turn them into happy go luck stereotypes in the final episodes. Why is this important. Because killer Tae Ho somehow escapes jail and happily paints with his "friends" at the end. Despite the fact that he accidentally may have not killed one person, but assuredly killed 4 others. (Yes, the pilot was dying and it was a mercy kill.)
I know this writer tends to make off choices for the stories or huge plot holes, but this was an utter disappointment. I can not believe that 9 episodes of build up and promise . . . led to this. Ugh.

Behind Your Smile Episode 16

The episode number just bumped to 19! What? Is this an MDL error? Everywhere else is still saying 18. Huh. Now to my review:
"You also have compelling reasons right? Can you all not be this excessive? First you stab someone, then you say that you didn't really mean to stab her! You're all so pathetic. You are all just forced to hurt others." - Xin Yu
Xin Yu has truly grown up. I love the dialogue and realities of this drama. She confronts Yi Ting and boy does she let him have it. He needs to realize the damaged he's wrecked. He's ruined her faith and hope in family, love, and friendship. Though Su Zhongwen should help restore some of that. He was straightforward with her and eventually told her the truth leaving the matter into her hands.
The reality is that Xin Yu is analyzing every moment when she thought she was with these people. She will probably never be able to trust like she did before. There will always be doubts and the waiting for someone to betray her. That's the most heartbreaking thing.
Did anyone else find it odd that her mom said she had grown up and that she was worried as her daughter never suffered. Maybe not big losses. I was nervous the Tourette's Syndrome was dropped, but it did make an appearance after one of her face offs.
While Xin Yu didn't think her full game ahead, she definitely had the start of a great plan. Yi Ting sill can't give up his revenge. All I can hope for is that Qian Ren will be okay.
"Xin Yu, I won't let anyone hurt you. Because only I can hurt you."- Yi Ting
I'm just as torn as Xin Yu. That line besides you can't help but feel for Yi Ting. It's because we know all the angles, motivations, and sides. As a viewer I feel sympathy for both Xin Yu and Yi Ting. However, I don't like some of his actions and moves towards Xin Yu. I feel like the strong point would be for Xin Yu to leave him, but my heart wants them to save each other.
Qian Ren turned into a spy fast. Even though he knows how much finding out about Xiao Yue hurt. (Talk about symbolism as Xiao Yue lays in the ruins of her robbed apartment she shared with Xin Yu!) In the end he knew to some extant and thought it was all right. While the farm people warming up to Xin Yu was moving, I wanted her to escape from all those who lied.
That ending is terrifying and I hope things don't take a tragic twist. I like the idea of Yi Ting and Xin Yu teaming up to bring Tang down. Because boy does he need to. I also like the idea of Lin Man not getting off. The proof will destroy them both, and that's how it should be.

So this is what truly leads Seung Nyang to the path of vengeance. To be trapped in there with him dying like that, vengeance is needed. Though I thought the Emperor (Todon, Ta Hawan, whatever that's what I'm calling him from now on) knew who he was to Seung Nyang. Now I'm wondering if he doesn't? Because he'd feel even more guilty.
Oh, and I have a comment for last episode when the doctor was all like "I've never seen a woman in so much pain before." Um, how about every day living. Childbirth. I doubt that Seung Nyang was the first infected arrow wound he's seen on a woman. Woman suffer just as much or more, after all woman experience everything a man can and things they can't. Goodness. That really ticked me off.
Also, what is with making the villains laugh so cheesey? Even the Emperor's bride to be has some serious laugh issues.
So this episode packs one heck of a punch. We see why things happen, why the Emperor betrays everyone. But we're left with the frustration that we know and yet the other cast members don't. El Temur is one heck of an evil foe!
This episode really revved up my emotions. I'm angry and so ticked! I feel just as helpless as Seung Nyang. Vengeance! Blood! I'm even ticked at the Emperor and want his blood. (Sorry my beloved Ji Chang Wook).
Oh, fair warning you will want the next episode right after this cliffhanger! Dang nabbit, had to be that guy who finds out. Creepy sniffer.

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon Episode 4
2 people found this review helpful
That dream Bong Soon had was insane. Hilariously so! I mean Mion Hyeok didn't look too shabby dressed as a woman, and then Gook Du's whole reactions. Just--even thinking about it makes me laugh! (I've already rewatched the scene too many times.) Honestly I really want to see the bloopers from filming that so I can see the actor's, and set people's, reactions. That butt grab! How did Ji Soo keep such a straight face?
The hoodie girl! I know that's how they're paths met prior, but I didn't notice the red hoodie was Bong Soon until this episode. I have a feeling everyone is connected. Oh, well.
Oh, oh! The whole The Bodyguard reference with the Whitney Houston song was perfection! I laughed so hard. >_< Not to mention Bong Soon's dad pulling out all his hidden money. The fractured toe that healed super fast. Bong Soon was totally into the gang wanting to make her their boss, she loved the hero worship! This episode just got me laughing.
The movie and dance club was too awesome. Though if she's that out of control when she's not drunk I'm pretty sure that the dance pole wouldn't have been the only causality when she's plastered. (Though I question crying at the super hero movies? I mean she has a secret identity to hide (that she can't keep), but not much in common with them otherwise.) Min Hyeok watching her dance and have a good time was great. I love that he didn't care what she said while drunk. His only response is that the morning after when she was acting all innocent about it was that she was cute, sexy, and such a "cutie patootie"! Min Hyeok's open interest for her is awesome! I love it! Though I wish he'd quit with the gay joke.
To be honest the writing for Strong Woman Do Bong is all over the place. There are so many plot things going on. Boong Soon parents both seem to have love interests. he love triangle of Bong Soon, Min Hyeok, and Good Du. Then the love triangle of Gook Du, Gook Du's girlfriend, and Bong Soon's brother. The weird kidnapping/murders, the person out to get Min Hyeok, Min Hyeok inheriting his dad's shady business, the development of the neighborhood, the gang that wants to get rid of or recruit Bong Soon, and the youngster gang wanting her to be their boss. That's just the in your face stuff. Despite it all I can't help, but be entertained. This is one of those dramas that is insane and I know there are flaws in the writing, but I can't help it. Park Bo Young (playing Bong Soon) is just too irresistible in comedy roles.
So will I be continuing this drama? You bet! I've gotten over my high expectations. Oh well, I'll enjoy the crazy fun.

Totsuzen Desu ga, Ashita Kekkon Shimasu Episode 6
2 people found this review helpful
I like how this episode dealt with moving in. Especially so fast. They didn't really date before doing so. I love how he called the ring he gave her pest control. Though is it when it's on the right wedding finger? Because I wear rings on that finger all the time and I still get asked out.
Akito is still a smooth operator working on her brother. The brother is clearly on his side. Why not he's offering her marriage.
This was a fun and cute episode per usual. It was nice seeing Ryu and Asuka getting to know each other. On a radom note I'm surprised how clean this drama still is and the one kiss in this episode was a quick peck. Apparently this manga is supposed to be smut. With them living together I thought there might be hints of "adult" relations going on. Yet it's very clean. That's okay as I like the story revolving more on the characters.

Xin Yu is growing. Xiao Yue is right, she's so unguarded. Her light makes it hard for her to even fathom how Yi Ting might be playing her. *hugs* I love seeing her moments of brilliance. Like telling the police she refuses nighttime interrogations. Also seeing through Qian Ni and not begging.
From the previews Xin Yu's runaway may not be sticking. Though I admire her for wanting to keep Xiao Yue safe.
There's still hope for a Womance as Xiao Yue realizes she really cares for Xin Yu. Even willing to confront Yi Ting.
I get that people are angry. However, you don't accuse the next available person. Wouldn't reality be that if someone did all that using and tossing their daughter away wouldn't be too hard?
That said I'm sorry for Xin Yu. Clearly her mother has done some dirty things. I want to have hope that she didn't.
Oh, and I know Yi Ting and Xin Yu have chemistry and Yi Ting slays it with those sexy smirks. However, Qian Ren (Lee Sean!) has serious chemistry with her too. Until he was suddenly "repelled" by her. The whole caring thing was cute.
I also thing that Yi Ting realizes he might be terrorizing Qian Ni too much. He might just truly send her off her rocker. After all she did do something he didn't even plan.
I love the way the story is weaving the web Yi Ting as woven around Xin Yu. Scary! Stay strong Xin Yu!
This drama really could turn into something epic.

I don't like this sneaky stuff. Feng Teng just needs to be up front. If he knows she won't take it because he's paying for the apartment or it's his house, then he should respect that. I don't like how much he sneaks behind her back and does this kind. He forced her to suddenly like him and then to have to confess because he doesn't like it that way. He withholds information and makes her suffer. Now he's tricking her into doing things while making it seem like it's good luck.
I really want them to be more open. I'm sure a crash will come (should come with things going like this.)
Also, how cold of Li Shu and Feng Yue to basically up front say that because she's just an assistant she should rise or do something with it. And that whatever she decides Feng Teng has to approve. Not to mention that they, especially his sister, said she'd never approve of Shan Shan in the end because she's a mere assistant. How horrible. I get China is really big on status and stuff, but I thought at last Feng Yue understood that status may not matter in love. That's why Feng Teng likes Shan Shan.
It's a shock to see them so cold, and the reality that they couldn't realte fully. Li Shu realized the pressure, but still looked down on Shan Shan for creating the issue by being a mere assistant. At first I thought it was a test, but they're to privileged.
How horrible it is that everyone tells Shan Shan she's worthless and that only her status as the Big Boss's girlfriend defines her.

Dealing with communication issues in a new relationship is so realistic! However, why does everything blow back as being Shan Shan's fault.
Issue one Valentine's Day, instead of hurting her by simply saying he doesn't celebrate it would have been more to the point to say that his parents died that day. Shan Shan immediately understood when she found out and felt bad for pushing it. She's kind hearted enough to give up Valentine's day for his feelings. Yet everyone keeps acting like it's because she wants to celebrate so bad. It's simply stressful because he won't talk to her.
Shan Shan's revelation is that she has to hear about everything from everyone else. Yet, it's her fault because her boyfriend has to be patient with her. When the reality is that he's not communicating. So the longer Feng Teng won't talk to you about important matters the more important you are to him? The thing is Shan Shan can't always be the one to compromise, waiting to hear from him kills her. That's one thing I've never been able to stand in a relationship, a partner unwilling to communicate. I believe in getting your thoughts together, but when you have to go to others to find out how your signifigant other thinks is too much.
This was a great episode to highlight the budding issues of communicating in a new relationship. However, I don't like how Shan Shan and everyone else makes it see like it's her fault. She's the one required to be patient for Feng Teng to tell her anything! Overall I don't like it when it's always the woman's fault. This type of thinking is why women always come off as over thinking things. Because the other person isn't communicating.
Feng Teng is holding her at arm's length . . . creating the thoughts that the trail period of their relationship is coming to an end. I find myself more frustrated by this drama and wish it would take the unique ideas to better places.

Zheng Qi and Yuan Li Shu are meant to be together! Darn it! She's probably looking for the book to get rid of the bookmark. Feng Teng you don't feel that way, just let her find the book and destroy the evidence.
Because Zheng Qi and Li Shu have some serious chemistry! Even though she said the wrong name. She is competitive and she wants what she can't have. However, she doesn't realize that she totally wants Zheng Qi.
I really like this episode. Though the mysterious Xiao Wei and the office gossip were a tad annoying. (Though I know the reality of office gossip.)
I like how Feng Teng is making the transition to boyfriend. Sweet and simple gestures. I also like how they're both being upfront with one another. Shan Shan admitting that she forgot about Li Shu's grief and was jealous of her. Feng Teng confirming that Shan Shan is all he sees. (Unless they go down a very stupid path with that bookmark confession. Which I don't think counts! How passive aggressive.)
No word on what Liu Liu is really going to do about her bad romance! Dump him before you're trapped.
Now that Feng Teng and Shan Shan are an item I like that they're finally becoming more developed. It helps seeing behind Feng Teng's icy demeanor.
The most moving episode was that Li Shu was truly waiting for Feng Yu to share her grief with. Sometimes there is only one person that can give you solace.

Despite being apart right after they finally decide to try out dating, I think its brought they relationship to a great place. They're establishing where they stand and comfortably discovering each other.
Feng Teng is a distant guy, but it's great to see where he warms up for Shan Shan.
Li Shu's loss is sad and I was very nervous after she moves in with Feng Teng. However, I think the writer is handling it in a way that Zheng Qi will get to win her over. It broke my heart when he was coming out with the blanket and soup to find Feng Teng already comforting her.
I do like that Feng Teng is loyal. If this was another drama he'd be totally obsessed with Li Shu and leave his budding relationship with Shan Shan in the dust. Then misunderstanding would ensue. I like that while he's there for Li Shu, he knows who his girlfriend is.
The girl talk was interesting between both of her friends. I hope Liu Liu can escape before she gets stuck with that scum.

Holly drama Feng Teng gave me whiplash from that mood swing. It's crazy he played so hard to get. After all everything he did pushed her to make the moves on him, like he wanted. (Well confession.) Yet he played hard to get whenever she asked if HE liked her. Even though he already kissed her, did that whole thing at the fish pond (I will never look at fishing the same way again), and then . . . . everything! At least Shan Shan was brave enough to be like enough, look this is when I officially liked you and I have 0 dating experience. Now are you gonna man up or not! Respect.
Maybe this will be the turning point of the show for me. Because—BOOM—suddenly he was warm and sunny. Which had bothered me early when he was conversing and interacting with Li Shu. I guess he was afraid that he needed to 100% know that Shan Shan was in. So he liked her when she was silly, but the New Years fireworks sealed it. Hmmm.
Oh, and there's kissing. It's not the best ever, but it's way better than most dramas ever offer. Considering Shan Shan actually mildly participates and isn't totally shy/ashamed afterwards. This leads me to believe the kisses will stay tolerable, or—dare I hope—passionate?
Look like everyone knows about Li Shu's true feelings for Feng Teng. Even Feng Teng knows and that is a turn in the right direction for me!
This could be the turning point I've been dying for! >_< Finally. Now excuse me while I go and find out how Shan Shan is going to answer her aunt about having a boyfriend or not. ^_-
