While re-watching Ep. 10 scenes of Salty Mom, I took a double look (TNT and Viki) from "three years ago" (Minute 39). The first "special" actor was identified as "leestar137" on Instagram and he posted "I think these shoes will take me to a special place." He also sent her a text message (Viki identified sender as "Lee Wu Hyeok") that said "Nuna, I really like you a lot❤".

That text message to Salty Mom was borderline affectionate.

Any chance leestar137/Lee Wu Hyeok is actually Lee Yoon-woo (friend who died)?

The airport scene was over a year ago, so not relevant to the gossip tabloids today? I'm guessing their relationship will become a big story in Ep 13/14. after they deal with "Late Night Love affair" and "GTS has child in Africa"

At this point, who knows for a fact that GTS and OHB are a couple/"dating"??? Salty Mom, KUS (manager) and Lawyer. Did she tell Ki-0bum (reporter)?

Smileboy doesn't know yet and he seems to respect/admire OHB - so will he go along with any plan that will target her?

He's also "smileboy" in the antifan chat room.

Re: the crispy food, it was "dipping" versus "pour over". And since I dislike pineapple on pizza, I felt sorry for Taesung. So, does Jeong Yeol know that they are a couple or does he think GTS is still in his prove-his-love phase?

It took me awhile to figure out what Da Hye was up to (the TMI was based on OHB's Instagram, right?), but I'm fearful that when the story moves to GTS superfans hating on OHB (and you know it will - it's a classic in k-dramas involving celebrities), sweet Da Hye will turn into a monster.

I loved this drama (cinematography, characters, etc) until watching what I believed to be a very "flat" unemotional ending w/the Main Couple - and I really enjoyed the Main Couple throughout the episodes until the last few minutes. And then (thanks to Viki Scribers who urged viewers to watch to the last scene) ) I watched to the very end. This series deserved a 2nd season follow-up. I'm rating it a 7 star. So sorry there will not be a follow-up.

As far as the audience is concerned, there are only two "official couples": Main couple (GTS and OHB) and what I will call the "enemy" couple (Jae Hyun and Yu-na). However. . . . .there is at least one "secret" couple (not official but all viewers know who) plus two or three potential couples. This show is a mixture of romance, comedy, inside jokes (most of which go over my head but if you enjoy K-drama, you will probably enjoy) and a bit of mystery.

After initiating myself into K-dramas w/in the last 4 months, I've decided that FNOS (plus Crazy Love and Shooting Stars) are the perfect combination for me: Romance, comedy, large ensemble cast w/their own history/back-stories, small vignettes that are sprinkled throughout the series and one overall story arc that begins and ends w/in 16 episodes. AND NO "tragedy"/sad ending. It takes real skill and talent for writers and producers to put everything together(especially the comedy) that doesn't take cheap/easy shots and maintains consistency between the various characters and stories. I've watched other k-dramas (Netflix and Viki) and almost all ran out of steam by episode 13 or 14 and the rest was filler/nonsense so they could get to the fixed Ep. 16. Even Business Proposal went off the rails - and it only needed to complete TWELVE episodes. FNOS is truly brilliant and eventually, it will become a classic.

I have the same wish - that Officer Lee will be involved in the final battle, together with Ye-Ji (and the rest of the team). I'm worried about Grandma though - the next full moon is only a few days away, correct? Maybe her death(or severe injury) will make Ye-Ri an avenging angel.

The show has been hinting for weeks that GTS is ill. Whether it is medical/physical (fever/fatigue) or psychological/stress-induced is unclear.

Oh, my adorable Cheon Ye Ji - when will you ever learn? You just made an enemy of your future mother-in-law. I'm glad we got to see another side of her though - she truly loves her grandmother. Deep down, you're a decent person.

And Officer Lee Yong Ryeol - you know Ye Ji professes to be greedy and impetuous, but you never flaunted your wealth in order to gain her "affection". You want to win her on your own merits. I'm still surprised that he doesn't manifest a 7 channel aura.

He's on the main poster for the show so I think he's safe. Crossing fingers. I hope he is part of the team that destroys the Evil Spirit. Not just a catalyst for shaman girl to understand her feelings, but actually part of the team. I wonder if he has Seven Channel virtue tower - Has Choi Gum ever met him/seen him?

I'm looking forward to Ep. 10 - especially after watching the pre-release posted by wongaini up above.

Do you think they want to leave? (say farewell?). Reum has already "paid her debt" or is free to leave (not sure what CCW started to say to her a few episodes ago) and nothing makes her happier than working with electronics/solving difficult problems. Sang gun is happy looking over his family (and I'm beginning to wonder if his daughter will make an appearance at some point). Finally, Gyu Pil may or may not want to leave. The only one I'm convinced will leave is Choi Gum once the virtue fan is completed w/the destruction of the Evil Spirit.

Haha, I never gave him a 2nd thought until re-watching Ep 9 and he was in the background (as always) when YuNa and Jae Hyun disappeared. Kinda like Secretary Jo in Crazy Love (I think you watched that?). As I said - After puzzling for weeks about Secretary Jo, I should have guessed this one.

I don't believe there is any way they would kill off a character played by a well-known singer - who happens to be the artist for the 4th OST. He's safe - I hope he is part of the team that will eventually defeat the Evil Spirit

I just couldn't get up early this morning (6:30 a.m. my time) to watch live. But I am so glad I did it yesterday - I wanted to watch before reading anyone else's comments or spoilers and it was worth it Thanks again for sharing live feed link. Did get up in time for the FNOS release this morning and very much looking forward to Ep 10 tomorrow morning.

I was just re-watching Ep 9 and wondering - what is the purpose of this character? LOL - I should have guessed earlier. (Haven't seen Ep 10 yet, but your post explains a lot!)

Interesting analysis. I've never cared much for the lawyer, but if he ends up with Ki Peum, I won't complain. She certainly deserves a happy ending.

I always thought Manager KYS was subconsciously in love with Baek Da Hye. She's not my favorite character, but all four of them deserve a happy ending.

I adore Yu Na and Jae Hyun and couldn't stop laughing at how they repeated word-for-word the script from prior shooting.

Favorite part - the King of Kisses . . . . . was nervous at his first For Real Kiss.

Great episode - I'm trying to decide if I should get up early again and watch direct feed from SKorea. My other fave - From Now On, Showtime will release English subs around the same time. Decisions, decisions.

I'm beginning to wonder if Lee Yoon Wu is really dead. I think the actor has only been in one brief scene in Ep. 3 but he's identified as a "support" role (not guest). Of course, all of his future appearances might be "flashbacks", but after watching that last scene today. . . . . .

Ahhhhhh, you have a good memory/recall.
