Mom ship sunk. :( I really loved their relationship thus far. They should continue how they are. But they do need to establish their roles, especially with Pal Gang. It was always going to come to a head because no one knew where they stood. Like another so-called relationship...
The kiss... I'm not even going there.

I haven't mentioned how much I love the mothers and their relationship. I felt so bad for Uncle when they turned him down because he seemed so excited at the prospect of a relationship with them. (Which should have been a major clue in how they planned to develop the main couple/s). But now after hearing his advice to Jung Won, I feel like he's slowly trying to ease his way past their defenses. Sly Uncle, very sly.
I really wasn't expecting that ending. I couldn't stop laughing, but I felt like it came out of nowhere. Dating each other is one thing, living together... And where would they live??
I'm happy Jung Won finally found out about the cancer. Now that it's been revealed I feel like they're all on a more level playing field emotionally (kind of).
(That nurse is just not amused by their shenanigans. She's so dry lol. I love her and the doctor.)

I sometimes wonder what I'm watching. So many scenes are ridiculous, but they have this underlying realness that colors every moment. They act out the feelings and thoughts we never express because people would think we were crazy. "Date both of us! As long as I get to see you."
I loved this episode almost as much as the previous one. Na Ri trying to break up with Hwa Shin (even though they weren't dating) was filled with tears of laughter. When the three of them have their fight in the middle of the street, more tears of laughter. (I'm convinced everyone in Korea owns a Khaki colored trench)
And I loved Chef's cameo! Though I wondered about the blind dates too. You were supposed to spend this time repenting lol.
I just don't know what to do with this drama, I love these ridiculous characters.
"Even if it's one percent, who do you like more?"

(I've re-watched this episode twice now. When they pull the scripts, I die every time. :'D Everything about this episode was so much better because of the acting. I wouldn't want to see any other actors paired for the leads. Their chemistry is perfect.)
Who exactly are the drama writers trying to sell?? I finally grow fond of Jung Won and they do this.
That kiss was everything (and so was that helicopter save)... or it would have been, if Na Ri hadn't been cheating and Hwa Shin wasn't backstabbing his best friend.
This is one of the only kisses in a K-drama where they drag out the tension so brilliantly before a kiss. The only drama I can compare it with is cable hit "Secret Love Affair." And yet I was secretly hoping it wouldn't happen yet, while tensions are so high (which is exactly WHY it happened). So many worms have just been set loose. (That hazy camera filter made me think it was a dream tbh :'D)
I'm also worried about the few glimpses of Jung Won's temper we've seen revealed. I really don't want them to turn his character into the bad guy (and not just because his mother could destroy NR & HS.......).
I really loved watching her kill that interview though. She did excellently. Seeing everyone cheer her on when she'd had little to no support before was so heartwarming.

Boys understand fists better than words. Hwa Shin and Jung Won needed to reestablish their roles with each other in order to move forward, a mud fight is always appropriate.
We were also able to see a glimpse into the past with PP filled flashbacks. Na Ri was a full on stalker. This wasn't a crush, this was an obsession. Hwa Shin finally confronts her after being teased by their co-workers. But he was no better, he was a complete douche. He repeatedly said she was annoying but secretly fed off the attention.
I like their characters (HS & NR) so much more now (in the present) that they've grown a bit emotionally. Na Ri still likes Hwa Shin, but she's decided to move on after 3 years of zilch. She's talked herself into believing that friendship is all they'll ever have.
(Live octopuses freak me out, but Na Ri makes it look like so much fun to squat in the mud and dig for tentacles... Or maybe I'm the only one who dreams of mudflats whenever they appear in K-dramas lol.)

What just happened? It took me so long to warm up to Jung Won because honestly, he gave me serial killer vibes, grooming his victims... then he won me over, for the most part. But when he found out Geum had gone behind his back (because Geum = snake), he seemed the epitome of a vindictive chaebol. "I hate when people betray me." If looks could kill... (I'm wondering how he'll handle the new Hwa Shin...)
Then we have our kid rebel Hwa Shin, ready to put his big boy pants on. The radiation treatments have definitely gone to his head, there's no way he would turn on his forever friend. He gave Na Ri up last episode for that very reason, his desperation is not attractive when he turns on a friend. Though I knew they'd come head to head eventually... I didn't think it would be an all out brawl. I expected more self-reflection and denial for awhile.
(And finally! I've been waiting for the voice phishing line to come back. Though not as funny as I thought it would be...).

Oh, I really liked this episode. All it takes is a bit of jealousy, or a lot, to make the heart grow fonder. Some characters took the initiative to move forward while others sidestepped what they realized they really wanted.
I've never been a fan of jealousy used as a plot device, but it is the name of the drama. I was ridiculously excited the article about Jung Won's engagement was going to come out; I needed him to make a decision. All of this playing footsie under the table, "No it's not cheating," "Yes, I think I am cheating," was driving me up a wall. If for no reason than it continues to pull Na Ri further and further away from Hwa Shin. I'm also excited to see a shake up in the station this news brings. Those weather girls are dangerously catty.
And this was the episode I got a little second lead syndrome tugging at my heart. (I'm curious to see how Hwa Shin will continue to squash his feelings for Na Ri. Hopefully not by becoming a bully... again.)
I didn't realize this was 24 episodes when I started... So we still have a lot of self-discovery and couple shuffling to do.

-Love triangles: 1 - The mothers always fall for the same guy (and wear the same clothes and share the same daughter), 2 - Hwa Shin and Jeong Won always fall for the same girl (and both dress in Jeong Won's brand), and 3 - Chi Yeol and Dae Goo > Pal Gang.
-I find all the excuses Hwa Shin makes for Na Ri being attracted to him are all the reasons *he* likes her. His push and pull is oddly endearing. And though I love Jung Won, the fact that he's engaged, even if he doesn't want to be, is squicky. But Hwa Shin and Na Ri's moments are really sweet.
-And this drama seems like it was dangerous to shoot. The windy window washing, the falls from hospital beds, the mattress adventure to the third floor... And I laugh the entire time. :'D
(Still waiting for the voice phishing plot line to catch up with us... he did say he hadn't used that account in awhile. Maybe it was just a funny insert?)

The transitions and humor in this drama have a tvN flair. This kind of ridiculous melancholy? Serious subjects hit over the head with a skillet while someone holding a rubber chicken laughs hysterically in the background... Or maybe that's just me. The episode ending was tragic... but then Hwa Shin gets beaten by a baking sheet, seen in his bra by his mother and best friend (I think), and tells God to take him and Na Ri in exchange for his brother... all in the last scene. :'D. Hwa Shin is the kind of character I don't want to like but can't help developing a soft spot for. Everyone just keeps hitting him lol.

This episode seemed to run longer. I'm sure that has to do with my annoyance at other characters pushing PNR around and her, in turn, taking it with a smile. I think I've been spoiled by so many recent dramas filled with confident female leads. GHJ's character feels a bit old-school K-drama to me now. We learned a bit more background in this episode: LHS's role in Pal Gang's situation, and boy is it a big role. This family has been completely torn apart, and I'm still not sure I understand their dynamics yet and how exactly they got where they are.

This first episode was a pleasant surprise. I wanted something light and funny after a melo marathon. It's laugh out loud hysterical, but I can feel the angst coming, especially with that ending.
I'm a huge fan of GHJ's, but stayed away from this drama because I have a love/hate relationship with JJS's characters. I'm always terribly annoyed at how pushy/bossy/entitled/snobby/critical his characters are in the beginning, until they change. But I forget how charismatic he can be in his likeable moments so I'm looking forward to the coming episodes.

I think I can totally do this for 158 more episodes... ^^ I really like Bong Yi's character.

Do we label spoilers in Ep reviews? I don't know why that just occurred to me because I've never done it before... >_>
I'm not loving Jang Hyuk's character as much in this... I understand he wants her to fight her own battles, (like every guy in a drama before 2010) but don't leave her alone in a hostile situation.
He could have easily put Spring in the room with Grandpa and stopped the shenanigans before it escalated. No amount of Hyo Jin's cajoling would've stopped those bullies. I understand his character isn't one to step in but at least support the girl you like. Even if you're not going to protect her, (which he could have).
He's not very likeable at the moment tbh. But I'm still wondering why people had a hard time choosing between YWCTS psycho and Jang Hyuk. Unless runaway dad has some extraordinary turnaround in the next 4 Eps...
I'm really enjoying this drama though, I think this Ep just rubbed me the wrong way when he left and ten minutes later her hair was being pulled out and her house trashed O.o And, ya know, he /expected/ that to happen. >_>

Every time someone mentions money, Lee Da Hae's face is priceless X) She definitely has a new fan. The beginning of this Ep felt more like they were fleshing out the plot/characters, less comedy, but the second half delivered.
Falling off the bed, every lie that came so easily out of Yoo Rin's mouth, the flat-line scene... I was actually surprised when he 'died' and then I was wondering why the monitor was still beeping... And then Yoo Rin says 'excuse me' and I couldn't stop laughing. :P
I've actually liked Park Si Yeon since Innocent Man because I thought her acting was superb, but a lot of people complained about her here. I don't think her acting is bad at all, it's her character that makes me sigh.

I tried watching this drama when I first dove into the drama world and I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes... Now I'm not sure why... I loved the beginning of the 1st Ep and this Ep totally sucked me in. I think some bad reviews of Lee Da Hae on forum sites warped my judgment back then >_> I'm trying it again because of Hotel King and so far I haven't been disappointed :)
I have a soft spot for dramas before 2005 because the humor seems campier (unless it's a makjang), the drama more outlandish (makjang again), and the acting even more over the top than a lot of recent dramas; it's everything I love haha. Also, the airport scenes with Lee Da Hae are the BEST. :D
