Now who really expected the case to go to court, raise your keyboards!!

Well, now that the case we all knew would never see day light is coming to an end, we now get to see all of the players and the guilt they are carrying. Obviously, Soo Mi is just so enamored by Jang Il, she sees nothing wrong with what she is doing. Kwon Choon at least has some guilt but can easily be swayed by his daughter! What else can we say about that? Nothing. We also see that Jang Il and his Dad, Yong Bae have no moral compass whatsoever as they have not one spec of guilty feelings. Talk about blaming the victim! True, in his own way of thinking, Jang Il feels he is a victim but his victim-hood was lost the day he bashed Sun Woo over the head! Its interesting to watch a once staid, up and coming prosecutor barrel down the corruption ladder faster than you can swat a fly! Chairman Jin is just sitting back enjoying it, why should he worry? He has the prosecutor in his pocket but his businesses are down in the dumps because he decided not to trust Sun Woo (which Sun Woo knew he would not)! Ji Won is still eye-candy support. I still cannot forgive her barely there attitude when Sun Woo was crying his eyes out. I have to give props to Uhm Tae Woong for this episodes! His acting has had me shocked, scared but I have to say, this was the first time that I too bawled my eyes out, so sorry for all he had went through and the tears he shed for his Dad as his last thoughts in life was about him! So sad! Great episode!

Again, the cinematography takes my breath away. Maybe it's less the story and more the filming

Overall, it was an okay episode. What we expected to happen, happened. But what was unclear is Young left a will, broke off all relationships but we have no idea what is going to happen. The end scenes were kind of disturbing to me. First off, we have two people who for months have been under the umbrella of brother/sister and even though we know they are not related, the premise was still in my head and Soo's attempts to force himself on Young were the precursor to forcing yourself on a person and in my book that is a no-no. I really could not look at that as anything else. I was glad Young told Sec. Wang that her time was limited. Now what will happen after that who knows. And thank goodness she is not going through that farce of a marriage!!

I admit I've skipped episodes

Reason for skipping was the story was becoming uninteresting! Everyone after Gyung Joon makes for an uninteresting story. I agree about the marriage, not sure why but it could be because I did not watch all of the episodes but reading what others that had, they are as confused as me so I guess I did not miss anything. You will have to make your own conclusion after watching this.

I'm probably the least enamored with the first episode

A times, I found it boring and the narration a distraction. I guess if I was a fan for either leads, maybe I would be looking at it differently. I already see I'll feel sorry for YIN's character. So pitiful to love someone who loves someone else.

I had to watch several times

The ending had to grow on me! I still feel we were cheated out of marriage time; baby time and just one more insult of CP/King Seong to his wife. Sure, the redemption happened in a way which may be acceptable but it still me wanting more. But overall, it left me with the thoughts that we did have a happy ending! She prayed for him and he came for her.

I died and went to comedy heaven on this episode!

Coming from the ending of episode 1 with his mother's death, there was no way I was expecting this episode to be so DAMN FUNNY!! I cried, laughed and choked at the same time!! When? The monkeys! Passing the hotels! The part time job conversation! The heating patch to the head! You name it, IU is hitting this role out the park!! Please keep the funny dispersed between the serious! If it gets all super serious....

Emotional Bent and Pissed off!!

4 episodes in as I'm finally watching Secret, I have absolutely NO LOVE for Min Hyuk and his quest for revenge. This is a case where money and power is taking things too far. Sure, Do Hoon shares the blame for going along and not confessing but I don't fault him for her going to jail; she chose that. But, going along with the man you know wants to continue to persecute the woman you supposed to love and you know is innocent, here is where I start to blame him. So, the only person I will be rooting for in this whole drama will be Yoo Jung only! Neither men deserve her and hope they both rot in their personal hell! I'm just a mother who hates when dramas take a child's life or hurts a child. It makes it hard for me to EVER be sympathetic to a character!! Min Hyuk and any sympathy went out the window the minute he took up his quest!

Interesting turn of events

It is rare in a drama to see whereby you like the 2d lead character better but not for the reason you think. I've never watched a drama whereby the dynamics of the characters flipped. Now that Chi Ho has taken the route he has and basically became Kang San should be, it is weird and I'm kind of disappointed with KS for that reason. But I think it is brilliant that the writer wrote it that way. But let me address the love triangle. Shin Young and wishy washy females, I do not like. Her character was so set on KS and now she is floating towards CH because he is becoming an activist? REALLY? Are this the same writers of Fashion King? I must research that because I still haven't forgiven them for that debacle!

Totally Unexpected!! I couldn't have predicted what happened at the end!!

Episode 15 was totally unexpected!!! But made perfect sense! What did Tae Joo say? Trust me? No, trust the documents!! That was flawlessly handled!! Flawlessly executed!!

This show continues to push the buttons!

Where we left off and where it pick up at....but what could go wrong, went wrong. Note to Jo Ah Ra, you hooking up with a man in a hotel room, you don't at him under the covers and refer to his *** as a pencil stub! I nearly choked! And to rub salt into the already opened wound she says "The smaller the peppers, the bigger the taste" Yeah, she said that! Min Kyu, so cute! I just want to squeeze his little cheeks! The ending is a shocker!

Spit is Untreated Water...Yeah, she said that!!

Yeah folks, the laughs just keep coming. Not as funny, funny as the last two but definitely nice!! And talk about that ending?!! Wait, this is Korean Cable television? Felt like I had step into an episode of Sex in the City! This is going to be a cross between War of the Roses meets Sex in the City. Still worth watching!!

10 minutes in, I was like, this is pretty good!

I really did not have any expectations. But the first episode sold me. Looks like we are in for a ride with these families. Still not sure who I dislike, but Sung Eun is definitely on the list. I kept saying to myself, boy, Jung Mong Hee and Yoo Na look alike! Imagine my surprise that it was the same actress!! Surprise! Surprise! Guess I will see my first drama with a switch-a-roo! Love it!!

If you like dark......

Where have you been?!! My type of drama!! This starts out with Nogami, a totally wrong woman making two people responsible for the death of her nephew, father and brother-in-law. By accusing her and her being sent to prison, no only has her family died but her sister committed suicide. We also see from the beginning, a reporter and photographer have caught onto the story. And this is how it starts!! What will happen in the next episodes remains to be seem but what a start!!

What a start! I'm here to stay!!

What can I say, I'm still reeling over what So Ra did! I've seen some seriously wacko gf but she takes the cake. This started out wonderful! I still can't get over the first episode. So many questions answered and so much information was provided in just a short 60+ minutes!!

Does this family have no shame?!!!!

I have to comment on this episode! The only shining light in this family has succeeded in disappointing me again. Geon, even though you have done no harm or evil, continuing to go along with your crazy family makes you just as bad. How can they sit there at the dinner table with poor Ha Joon and insinuate the existence of a baby not there? That's right, the cat is out the back and the family goes along with the secret. Disgusting!!



I am so glad these writers are not dragging stuff out. So, now Seo Yeon knows just how much her father knows. Again, this is unbelievable! As I expected him to do, the evil reporter Seo Dae Yong has given the pictures to Seo Yeon. When is he going to die?!! Not soon enough for me!!
