I waited until it was around 96% but the first major scene where something big was being said and there were NO SUBS I immediately turned it off and went and did something else. Punched the air a few times and came back a few hours later.

Can't wait for today. End of ep 17 is so far one of my favorite (meaning most anticipated, and therefore obnoxious!) cliffhangers.

lol yea I realized that after I posted...still no edit button:( It's been two years of listening to Korean, I guess I know a few words but it's not like I say them :D
10 more hours and ep 18 should be subbed! I can't wait!

lol.. Agree...SJK knew better, he shouldn't have allowed songwriters/PD's/whomever 2 convince him otherwise.

language aside SJK needs to join Lee Min Ho in the the "never sing again" club.

거짓말 = liar. that first syllable is definitely and "uh" or "eo" sound. (or however closely we can romanize it, at least).

I hadn't noticed him singing? He did something in the drama, right? Was it bad?? I hadn't even noticed.... lol

what? I just watched ep 18 and now I am lost...what's going on..can someone explain it to me..I found the last 10 minutes hard to follow.

Lame! Siiiiiiigh, they just want to make us suffer another week, wracking our brains over what on earth was going on there, and where this will go.. I was even hoping for a dun Dun Dun shocking cliffhanger, but this??!? I feel cheated.

I just finished ep 17 : WTF the entire episode was hide and seek between Eun Gi and Ma Ru, I am so glad they end it (the last scene). Now, I really want to know how the hell is this going to end!! I have to be patient for three more episodes *sigh* On a side note, why the hell is Eun Gi suspecting Lawyer Park and making it hard on him? Come on, your problem is Joong Ki so stop messing with him!!

i havent watched the most recent 2 episodes but i'll tell you this: IMO the ending HAS to be lame. there is just NO WAY they can pull this thing out. Makjang is a tricky genre. much like the american soap opera they strip characters down to the basest parts of humanity and rely on theatircs and tension to carry the production in place of things like thoughtful, complex character development and plot that is truely engaging emotionally. Melodrama in general requires a clear hero. Your Hero can waver, your hero's bad actions can be justified but in the end the character is always clearly the hero and always the person you root for during the shit storm. who is our hero? attorny park maybe. i cant speak for anyone else but at this point i dont give a crap what happens to Ma Ru and Eun Gi is so poorly done that even though i SHOULD care, she's so annoying i dont. We have no Hero. What we have instead are three characters who deserve each other and the revenge we have been told to expect they shall wreak upon one another. We dont even really have theatrics. Jae Hee hissing threats at Ma Ru is not theatrical, neither is Ma Ru's sulky character development. Nothing makes you particularly tense, unless of course you're like me and stuff like this irratates you. all i've seen in the 1st 16 episodes is Ma Ru and Jae Hee sticking thier tongues out at each other and Eun Gi having what can only be described as multiple hissy fits. they try heaping on things like memory loss , terminal illness and weak corprate powers plays, tried and true weapons on Makjang, only they seem lacking in umph. i think this would have been better if they left out Eun Gi's brain damage and just went forward with a revenge traingle. alright, rant done!
