The Equator Man Episode 17

Talk about playing one character against another! Masterfully done! This episode was amazingly done! For the first time, I actually felt just a midge sorry for Jang Il (short lived might I add)! I always believed that Sun Woo's revenge would be to take the most precious thing from each person that had wronged him and he did it in spades! Probably the only one least affected was Soo Mi's Dad, Kwang Choon. A lot of people were probably upset about Sun Woo's treatment of Soo Mi but considering the situation if we were in his place, she got off light as far as I am concern! Excellent done episode! Ji Won even showed spunk and I was proud of her in her moment but I am also starting to understand her purpose. She is the tether that pulls Sun Woo from the brink! As you watch the very end of the episode, just think what would have happened if Sun Woo did not have a Ji Won! Off the roof for sure!

Excuse me while I continue to bring my heart rate down after the morgue scene. I'm still trying to recover. Body switching dramas, only had the experience with 49 Days but so far this is definitely nothing like that. I am loving the character Gyung Joon. You definitely see the difference between him and Yoon Jae. Hopefully the comedy continues and is not overwhelmed by the usual angst that is interjected into Korean dramas. Great start!

I had no expectations at all. As usual, if JGS is in it, I generally watch but dang, that first minute? WOAH!!

Jang Ok Jung Episode 12

Yes, hate is a form of affection! Man, this episode had me on the edge the whole time! The Queen Mother is just not dying fast enough for me. As she slowly corrupts poor unloved Inhyeung and basically put her entire court ladies' head on the chopping board, this really was an amazing episode. From showing the pure love the King has for his Suk Won to the forlorn looks by his poor Queen who I have very sympathy for because of her evil father. No wonder Ok Jung turn evil! She never has any peace! The acting continues to be STELLAR! I cannot wait until next week! We are at the 1/2 point.

Imagine my surprise! WOW! I can't stop laughing! The scene when she went out to meet the neighbor, Choi Go Ya and was wiping his sweat with the handkerchief! The scene where Choi Go Ya and his wife were doing the do in the bedroom and the assistants were doing all kinds of suggestive things with their headphones! And let's not forget the ajumma conversations in the elevator! But the icing on the cake was their face; mother and son when Gong Jeong Han introduced Ji Seong Gi as his lover! HAHAHAHAHA! This is NOT for everyone but if you want to see something different, this is it! Funny! Funny! Funny!

The Incarnation of Money Episode 18

This is really for both 17&18;.
Se-Gwang, the master manipulator! Dazzle the women with the truth! You have to admit, every word he said was in fact the truth! I had contended that he knew about her crush for awhile. But finding out that her father was the Professor was just icing on the cake. Her willingness to fall into his manipulations was actually what I would have expected. It does not detract from her Prosecutor persona at all. I believe because she will see snippets of things/evil-doings that unlike Angelina, she will not sit quietly and do nothing/go along. That is when the story will really get interesting.
Cha Don and his confrontation with Hyuk with Jae-in was one of the funniest scenes I’ve seen in awhile! I literally had to stop watching as his ‘Where’s Waldo’ head came peeking up between Hyuk and Jae-in who has obviously become serious with Jae-in. We had seen the jealousy before (and loved it) but this was priceless.
I loved how the writers/directions were showing us the mirror of Cha Don’s mother experience. Only difference will be that Cha Don will save her son. There lives the difference in his humanity and revenge.
I’m still in love with this drama and I truly enjoyed these two episodes!!!

After this episode, you will be ready to jump into your TV, PC or whatever to choke the HELL out of this mother!! Sorry, as a mother myself, for no reason whatsoever, can I imagine doing what this woman proceeds to do to poor Yi Kyung! The pitifulness of an innocent child being emotionally tortured begins with this episode! Let's just say, after finishing this episode, I decided I have to watch this slowly; give my blood pressure time to subside. I still find this to be a great drama and worth watching if you want to invest the time! 4 hours down; 116 to go!!

Five Fingers Episode 2

You have to continue to watch as the stories truly unfold. Remember, I said the mother was saint?!! I TAKE IT ALL BACK!!! I've been going back and forth trying to figure out who's worse, the mother or the father. This episode really explores the family dynamics even more and shows you just how dysfunctional they are. The father is brutal but he was right. The son used sympathy instead of pure talent to win the contest.

A lot of times, when we have the child actors before we get to the adults, we start out light and easy BUT not this! The dramatic starts from the beginning. We have a short future scene which seems to be out of place but overall it was an interesting episode. The mother, a saint; not only for putting up with that husband of hers but also the fact that she treats Ji Ho no different than her birth son which makes the final scene very, very telling!

Again, the story comes to light and so does the characters. You get to see more depth in the characters. I love Kang San! He is the nicest one! And such an opposite of that Il Moon! Oh goodness, that Il Moon! The devil incarnate! I thought his sister was bad! But the scene with Chang Hee and his wimp father; heart-breaking! No job would be that important me! Does the father remind me of Jang Il's father in Equator Man? Yup! Right down to the fact he is willing to do illegal stuff. I wouldn't put it past him to kill somebody. Hae Joo's father, looking beyond his shortcomings, deserves the father of the year! He protects her even though he knows she is not his! That mother of Hae Joo's? What a lazy biotch! I'm going to fight to keep it clean her in describing her! I know, she thinks that's his love child but I cannot imagine treating a child like slave as she does! Overall, this again was a pretty decent episode!

Wow! I have always loved So Ji Sub and let's just say I am so glad to be seeing him again in what is definitely a different type of drama that he usually does. I am seeing Daniel Choi in a different light, my he is a handsome devil! Liking the story so far! It's kind of scary to think that we could all be subjected to a text hack at anytime! This drama will show us all kind of things we never thought was possible. not familiar with the femal lead so I will hold judgement for now. Great first episode!

Queen In Hyun's Man Episode 12
3 people found this review helpful
You want to see cuteness done right with some downright fantastic KISSES, this is the episode! We get to see the final leg of the relationship developed in spades! We saw glimpses in previous episodes but if you were not convinced how much the OTP cared for each, no worries. Besides the scary planning of the General in the background, what is even more scary is Dong Min's volatile behavior! Talk about do what I say not as I do mentality! If people continue to think he is cute, so be it! I thought the water spraying and pillow throwing showed just how immature he is. And his ultimatum?! He gets no brownie points from me! But why, Hee Jin, did you just take it! After spray #4, I would have been out of there so fast, lightening couldn't have caught me!

The Equator Man Episode 20

Overall, a good episode but I guess I was expecting a little more. There was a lot of flashback scenes to previous episodes, I was happy to see the young Sun Woo and Jang Il actor's again. The funny thing was every scene between Sun Woo and Jang Il, I was expecting Jang Il to bash Sun Woo over the head again! Every time, Jang Il was behind Sun Woo, I was nervous as heck :-D! When they had the scenes where Jang Il was hospitalized in a mental hospital, all I kept thinking of is "He's faking! Temporary insanity defense!" Boy, I had serious mistrust issues with his character! Everything was resolved but the one nagging question at the end was what happened to Jang Il? You heard mentioned as if he was still alive after the cliff scene but they did not show what had happened so we are clueless. Sun Woo's blindness that kept coming and going just miraculously healed itself. Had a problem with that. I had a problem with him taking off without Ji Won but it was nice that she went after her man at the end. And guess what! The first tears we ever got to see her shed! I was convinced she was a robot! But all and all, this was worth watching from beginning to end. Repeat factor-90% (there are some episodes I would skip). Much props to Uhm Tae Woong and Lee Joon Hyun for stellar performances. And last but not least, why did the ending Sun Woo look younger than all of the previous episodes? Was there a change in stylist!?

The evil smile, the weird laugh! No remorse whatsoever totally describes Jang Il in this episode!. Director No Name had the best line in this episode "An old Chinese proverb describes how I feel right now: Mental Breakdown; two words, Men Break; three words, What a Bitch!" I never laughed so hard during a melodrama ever! C'mon, writers, give this man a name! The next best part was some spunk out of Ji Won when she was about to climb over the gate but Geum Jool stopped her, I was like FINALLY! But alas that was short-lived but finding the pictures were excellent as its obvious that Soo Mi will never come to the aid of her friend (who needs friends like this!). I loved how Sun Woo masterly set up Jang Il using the tool he loves the most (TV coverage) to freak him out. Can we all agree that Jang Il is slowly becoming crazy?! I could not stop shaking my head in disbelief while he looped the TV coverage of himself over and over again with this weird smile. If that is not crazy, I don't know what is! I think I now see where the revenge is going and I hope I am right. Sun Woo, heed Not Dad Tae Joo's advise, become the wind!
