Oops, EDIT: Hollywood is written off by many Americans as being controlled BY libidinous left-wingers...*

Did you see new episodes??? Especially the last one??? THE TENSION????? I thought I would faint when they were playing with Cola and then kissing...it's too bad the guy is still tied to his old love...

First tears of joy....then sadness.

Don't mention it...GRRR...so mad about the ending....
And by the way...OK, I like the dongseng...he's very handsome...helps the heroine...but what's wrong with him? Does he have a mania to fall in love with the woman his brother loves??? I'm very afraid of that kind of twist in the drama...

I don't think he was acting the way he was because he loves Ah Jung. I think it's cause he still loves Yoon Joo. And he didn't like seeing his brother with Ah Jung, after having just visited Yoon Joo and seeing how upset she was that Ki Joon didn't show up the night before.

I'm talking about the dongsaeng, in case I didn't specify.

I'm with you on this. Since Yoon Joo has been basically a passive character all this time, I think the burden to create some actual tension in this drama is going to fall on Sang Hee. That is, I think he's going to try and atone for having broken up Yoon Joo and Gi Joon by getting them back together, despite still being in love with Yoon Joo. Which would be a far more interesting development than just having him fall in love with Ah Jung. Episode 8 will probably set something interesting up.

I actually watched ep 8 already without subs. I understood like 95% of it, or at least I got the idea of what was going on. You're going to be surprised at all that goes on in ep 8. I'm feeling very bittersweet about the whole development.

Hehehe, now you have me worried. I'm still on the fence with this drama---I really do want to like it, but one more wrong move...

I watched episode 8 raw too and for me it marked the line between liking the drama and loving it.
I loved this episode for many reasons.

[SPOILER AHEAD!!!!]

1. the chemistry between these two is so powerful it exits the screen and hits you in the face. It may sound shallow, but when I watch a romantic drama I want passion, not only cute and fluffy. And for someone like me who didn't like the male lead to begin with it means these two are doing an awesome job.
2. it got rid of the original story line, i.e. the lie and the show off in front of the friend and stepped into a different, deeper and more complex level. I think the timing is perfect to open up new and intriguing doors.
3. I see a new development in the relationship between Ah Jung and her friend... what's her name... So Ra or something. This last is learning the hard way what it means to be married. I'm confident this may be the beginning of a true friendship between these two, or at least a decent truce.
4. I love Ah Jung. Before it was her crazyness which captivated me, now it's her courage. She might have initiated the lie, but she's not a fake person at all. She reacts to events in a believable way, a very human way, from her mascara all over the place to the way she reacts to this new, building attraction.
5. I am reminded more and more of Coffee Prince. It's not only Eun Hye and the fact that she plays a similar character; it's mostly the pace of this drama, the side characters, the general feel.

Yes, I definitely love this show. :)

Here Here!!! Well said... I hope it keeps this momentum. It has so many interesting places it could go now that the feelings are there, the secret is out. Now it's up to them to choose for their own reasons! Gah!

Psh, what's with y'all watching the raw video before the sub is released---that's totally cheating! Anywho, the sub has just been released, so I'll tackle it when I come home after my part-time gig. Looking forward to reading your comments once your spoilers no longer apply! =P (Is it sad that I've become so dependent on this site for my K-drama convos that I rush here immediately after watching an episode?)
