Another episode, another wait

The scene flow and the pacing is still whip quick, but the episode ended on a note that is making the wait for the next abysmal.



Lee Jae Yoon's character is becoming more intriguing, which is good considering how captivating Doctor's Son has been in comparison.

There's a bit of ab action (Jung Kyung Ho) in this episode, as well as a quick, cute, almost rom-com moment that's actually jarring in context. I found myself smiling until the drama pulled me back with a vengeance into the gritty action.



Generally, the violence and blood seem to be increasing episode to episode. I feel like that's to be expected for the future as well. But the censored knives are sort of distracting....

Chemistry sizzles.

It's so difficult writing reviews for this drama because there is so much feelings and depth rapped around. This episode like every episode raises the bar. I liked it that it went calm because the ending of last episode our hearts were literally in our hands. I like the pace of this show a lot. The character development in this show is amazing. I love seeing new angles. Ah, the bromance. I liked how they went back to jail times and told about their friendship. Now were seeing Lee Jin Sook and the police gentlemen storyline. Interesting. Best for last our main leads. Is it possible to posses such chemistry. They came like the storm. I'm surprised by the route for the couple it's rapidly speeding and I hope it's not for a crash. I hope their relationship works. They have a part of making this show amazing. Their scenes are simple but they have heat to them. A change that Heartless City brings. Another reason a show like this will be on a level on it's own.

Looking up...but not for long...

Ok, first off, I really hate desperate women. It's just sad and they look stupid. Baek Sung Joo needs to let it go. When you buy yourself a matching couple ring that the man your in love with bought for another woman and wear it around, that's when you've crossed the line into the crazy zone. I really liked this episode as far as Tae Sang and So Mi Do's relationship goes. It was nice to see So Mi Do nice and more affectionate with Tae Sang. A lot of people don't like her character and I get that but one thing I do like is she's pretty straightforward. I find a lot of main female leads will hide stuff and keep silent when they really shouldn't. But So Mi Do told Jae Hee from the beginning she liked someone else and now that she's chosen Tae Sang she's standing by her choice. I was a little surprised she didn't ask Tae Sang to hide the fact they were a couple but instead told him he could tell Jae Hee if he wanted. Anyway, I just liked how she's treating Tae Sang now.

O.o

He looked her right in the face... Ta Hwan I love you but... You looked her right in the face! You followed her! You studied her from different angles... and still. "Do you have a brother...??" >_< Sigh. I guess it'll take a awhile for him to grow haha. I can wait. :)



The scene where he yells at the Empress Dowager broke my heart. He wants to have revenge for his father and lead his people and he's got his own ideas about how to do it but everyone keeps pushing him into a corner. I can't wait till he's in a position to finally put his foot down.



Also when Seung Nyang gets reprimanded by the other Palace Maid for forgetting what her actions could mean for the people of Goryeo - so sad, but the Maid was right and I think that was what hurt the most. She didn't want to think about the people of Goryeo anymore, every sacrifice she's made has been for Goryeo. :(



Also, I want more of the King... Seeing him rallying up the troops like he has and their unwavering support is like a shining light throughout those scenes. Also seeing him hit Byung-Soo was so satisfying... >_>

Souless.

That's how I can describe Ma Roo at this point. He has a heart, but no soul. He has no conscious of right and wrong. He's playing this game and he's in it to win. Which is saddening because I, being the ever so romanticist, want Ma Roo and Eun Ki to be together. But it doesn't seem like he likes her just yet. Eun Ki is seriously BA when she isn't around Ma Roo, but around Ma Roo she turns into this puddle. That kinda annoys me, but I kinda get it at the same time. She craves love since she never got it from her dad and her mom left her. Along comes HOT Ma Roo who confesses to her right away and her desire for love seems to be fulfilled. But I still don't get this whole memory loss thing that she supposedly is going to go through. The story is moving along fine as it is now. I think we've found Jae Hee's achilles heel, her brother/father (I'm a little confused on how he's related to her). Unless it was all an act she seems really afraid and weak in front of him. But Ma Roo seems to get a little bit weak in front of Jae Hee which annoys the hell out of me. SHE SENT YOU TO JAIL MAN AND LEFT YOU FOR A RICHER GUY!! I swear half the guys in dramaland get so hung over the awful ex's that they don't see the wonderful girls in front of them. So. Annoying. I love how the story puts comic relief in with Ma Roo's best friend and his sister. I would not be able to watch a straight hour of this if it was always soo serious and dramatic. I'd have to stop and take breaks so I can think this through and figure out my thoughts and feelings.
