That's how you end an episode.

It's driving me crazy that I have to wait for his reaction to her text!!! ugh! I love hating Sae-Na as she rips apart Bak Ha's happiness. Even her precious skittles are starting to turn against her. The emphasis has been more on romance than the mystery surrounding the death of the princess, but I love a romance done well.

Please give me something to look forward to

The only satisfaction I had from this episode was at the last 15 minutes or so where Lee Gak could not help but follow Bak Ha at the park. For me, it was redemption.[Add: Bak Ha's punch at the basketball court]



From the end of episode 8 up until the majority of parts in Ep 10, I cannot, for the life of me, appreciate how Se Na became the focus of these parts. Ok, fine I know she is still pretty much part of the Prince's equation for the Joseon mystery but so far where has it taken us?



One glaring clue that our Prince and the trio is missing: if Lee Gak really needed to be with his Princess, why land at a lotus flower's rooftop in the first place??



Thank goodness Bak Ha still has the trio to get her by this episode or else, this would have been like Ep 9 where that capital B is running all over the place! The fish-out-of-the-water is losing its charm now and they better step up their mystery-solving skills now that we've reached half-time in our story.



Furthermore, now that Bak Ha's feelings are out in the open, where do we stand now?

The Amazing Episodes Keep Coming...

I loved Ha Na and Joon?s moments so much in this episode. I really liked when they were playing the drinking game Joon knew everything she was going to answer and how he was her ?black knight? and drank the huge shot of alcohol for her. I loved their first kiss (which was more of a peck) and the scene they had in the morning arguing about how Ha Na couldn?t remember it. Also when he took her picture and said she was pretty. I really loved that he didn?t stand her up and that he asked her to make him feel better. My favorite scene was when he gave her the second kiss (which was also a peck) and finally he warned her that he was going to kiss her for real and she could avoid it if she wanted. She didn?t avoid it and I was so freaking happy I was almost screaming.



Ah, Yoon Hee why do you keep pushing In Ha away? Can?t you see the man is still hopelessly in love with you? I really liked how In Ha never gave up and kept going back to her. I thought the recording he sent her was the sweetest thing I teared up a bit.



The one thing that really pissed me off was what Hye Jung said to Joon. How could you say to your son that if it wasn?t for him you wouldn?t have started such a miserable marriage? It is in no way his fault you chose to marry In Ha no one made you. I seriously wanted to punch her or worse.



Over all it was another amazing episode I can?t wait for the next one to come out.

clueless

All I can say is: FINALLY! The story I've been waiting for has started. I skipped A LOT of scenes and made me clueless.



I was like... Why is In Ha in jail? Why is Chang Mo running away? (If someone could tell me..... please? ;;) )



Ohwell... gonna anticipate for their children's love story now. :">

Could it get any worse?

At this time, my irritation is already spent. I'm trying to objectify why the writer chose to volume Se Na up in this episode so much that she gets away with almost everything.



This episode is Se Na at her ugliest: narrow-minded, manipulating, twisting words, accusatory, driven by unnecessary rivalry and illogical hate. I cannot imagine her getting more selfish than already she is.



After the postcard clue, now it's Lee Gak's handkerchief. Se Na is now manipulating fate to her side and pushing Bak Ha further away.



Lee Gak still doesn't know how he's falling for Bak Ha: he kneels outside Halmoni's yard all night to save Bak Ha from being fired and evicted from the rooftop and he takes care of her after she spent the night looking for that damned hanky.



And yet he still thinks his destiny is to be with his reincarnated princess. Se Na, being the sleazy opportunist that she is, jumps at him in order to keep her place at the company.

Whoa. She Got Skill.

Gong Xi finally proves herself in this episode. She may have wanted to get into show business only to take revenge on Shang, but with what she does in this episode it is evident that she already has what it takes to be someone huge! See what I was saying about being a ninja? Gong Xi totally is one! She has some Skill.

Come on !

Yes, it is good. No, it still doesn't budge. This drama has so much potential, but I feel it is not fully exploited. Come on ! Don't keep on making us wait, it's starting to becoming a bit boring...

I hope there will finally be some actions on the next episode.

Getting Really Good....

I still didn't like the way Young Gul was acting in this episode. But the clear Villian in this episode was Jae Hyuk. I can't believe he would actually sue Ga Young. And Anna is really doing some horrible things and being pretty manipulative. It's finally getting really good I can't wait for the next episode.

Be an angel and kill the devil!

Yeah it's the most outstanding episode so far. Gong xi get the chance to act in Shang's Mv playing an angel that will kill the devel played by Shang; at first she could fool Shang enough that he didn't recongnize her but then he set her a trap and find out. In this episode i was so amazed with Gong xi's acting skills; she did her parts perfectly, there's a lot of focus on Gong xi/Shang relationship; a lot of ups and downs and the result : the birth of a great actress that even left Shang speechless.

Highlight/Funny scenes :

- When Gong xi wore the angel outfit looking so pretty, the way Shang stared at her like someone falling in love and when she got right near him she kicked him :D

- When the angel Gong xi killed Shang the devil crying that was so dramatic and the look on Shang's face when she was killing him crying was priceless.

Back to the beginning

This episode brings us back to the beginning. I have a major like and dislike in this episode. I like the fact that Hyun Joon's glasses have lenses. Glasses without lenses is a pet peeve of mine. I can't stand the fact that the blood looks like pink kool-aid in several of the scenes. This episode ends on a major cliff hanger that will definitely bring you back for the next one.

Taking care of Lian

As Lian's replacement manager; Gong xi try her best to be a good replacement and take care of him. She got the chance to enter an university and so she began preparing for her entrance exam. When Lian catched a cold she was there taking a good care of him since he didn't want to delay his schedule (what shows his extreme commitment to work); she spended 2 nights in his house, making him breakfast and trying to be a nice manager wich made Lian fall for her commitment. This episode had a lot of Gong xi/Lian scenes, getting toghether, fighting and being serious. Now Gong xi is going to be in Shang's MV shooting...

Highlight/Funny scenes :

- When Gong xi played the doctor role by analyzing Lian's cold symptoms.

- When Lian fell on Gong xi (kind of passed out bcz of his cold) and yet he still repeated his lines.

- When Lian called Gong Xi "Xiao Xi" she couldn't sleep at night while he didn't even remember it the following morning.

The comming is better :)

Outstanding!

This show is REALLY becoming VERY-VERY-VERY good with every episode... (deep breaths).

Finally In-Ha-sshi... better later than never... has become stubborn and is fighting for his love... I love the older couple moments so much... when I watch their moments... it's like feeling a mild breeze blowing in my face and hair... (sorry for the strange comparison, but I really feel that way...)

SeoJun and HaNa are becoming a VERY-VERY interesting couple... though their feeling have not been challenged yet, and I'm waiting for the dark clouds to come... I hope for more cute moments with them, cause they really take my breath away sometimes... (4 kisses in one episode...kyaa~)

One more thing... JUST HOW CAN YOU STAND STILL LIKE A STONE WHEN JANG GEUN-SUK IS KISSING YOU???? (not that I don't know it's not her fault...) :P

Hmmm...

First episode was ok, but I don't really like the OST, so I felt myself getting distracted at times. I also don't like that his father has made her his boss when she didn't really do anything to deserve that position...She didn't even come up with the idea. I don't care whose daughter she is...



Maybe I'll get more into it once the story develops a bit more. But this one definitely didn't grab me from the start.
