Marriage, Not Dating Episode 3 Reactions
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.

Slowly but surely, backstory is coming into the picture and I can already see the beginnings of character development. I have a feeling that Gi Tae and Jang Mi are going to learn a lot from each other. The bathroom incident was hilarious, but I think it'll also teach Gi Tae a lesson about being alone. This was a really entertaining episode.

I don't understand why his lips were parched at the end. He had an unlimited supply of drinking water there with him.

Ah, here we go everyone! At least from my point of view, I believe progress is starting to be made with the drama, and with the leading couple. Background story is slowly coming into play with the leading man and woman, This episode contained lots of laughs with the drunken but cute Jang Mi and her quest for Finding and frying Nemo. As well as a drunken night that leads to harsh words but adds on to the progress that has to be made. We start to find the connection of Ki Tae loving to be alone while Jang Mi cannot handle it, leading me to believe that there is a deeper reason of her wanting marriage besides for love.
The last few minutes of the episode is what will progress for the remainder of the drama. It's very surprising but nice, and leads you wanting to know what will come about it. After viewing this episode, and the preview for tomorrow's, you'll be just as excited to continue the drama,
