ShortCircuit

I'm saying it wasn't probably supposed to be totally hands-off, LOL, just that there wasn't enough physical time for him to come help her, he was busy doing his own stuff :D

Everything happened during precisely one evening - the evening of JinMan's "funeral". It felt longer because so many things happened, but actually it was quite short, time-wise.

What JinMan did was exactly what Bale did - pretended to be dead and struck when everyone considered him officially dead (Bale didn't even get to come to JiAn's house, he never had the chance and if they make a sequel, we're probably going to see JinMan waiting for him at Bale's own door, LOL).

But THIS part of the story was JiAn being given free rein, finally, and making it through to the other side - and he DID offer her the choice of walking away from it all to a safe place.

What we're missing is HIS side of the eventful night, and I really hope they make at least a special episode of it.

This part of the story is DONE. What we need is MORE story.

Yes. But it's so good everybody wants a sequel. And there are a few mysterious spots, enough for a sequel but not spoiling the ending of this one.

No, no, they had a deal - she could only live on her own if she could hit him. She never did (or we never saw it). He let her go to a new apartment and even secured it for her - but their deals always held. He either let her touch him or she managed it on her own... but we never did get to see it T_T

Bad host for not following through, LOL.

Wait!! I just realised they never told us (yet) how come JiAn was living by herself!!! Season 2 NOW!! O.o

So... everything happened in the day and night after JinMan's "funeral". It felt like a lot of time passed, since so many things happened, but considering the clean-up crew was there at the beginning of the night... there wasn't a lot of time, was it?

So who knows what JinMan could do or not do...

Just wait to see the later-on frustrated Kai telling Hiro what he wants to do to him, and the exasperated Hiro asking him to get a move on already, dammit, LOL, time's awaisting! I think the MDL choir virgins will expire simultaneously hahaha~

- deepest waters LOL

- it's not just Bale. It has to be Babylon too - the general is in it. JinMan fought them both.

- no, he betrayed JinMan. His call came too late and only to bring JinMan to the tunnel. I don't care about how forced he was, he's in it in the end and that's all that matters.

- money. Lots of money for Pasin - he and his friends built JinMan's shop, LOL, did you forget how much money they got out of him? And then there's friendship.

- yup :(

- Babylon is just a merc group in the end. Even if there's some more hierarchy, they won't go all down for the sake of a few exes.

- Pasin is a calculated, pragmatic man. And he had to keep training MinHye LOL. And who says he was away? He just skipped on his lessons with JiAn, maybe to prepare better for the trapping of Bale.

- I think the general was in the coup against JinMan, myself.

- MinHye is all for JinMan already LOL

- Brother is good at keeping the shop up and running :D

- JeongMin reset the murthehelp when it should've taken 24 hrs to do it. I think that's what Brother is mad about.

- No, they don't need murthehelp. They were a good business way before the site came up.

1. Drugs. Very good drugs. And lots of helpers.
2. We'll see. I'm expecting a special episode, a TV movie or a sequel.
3. If JinMan is alive, Bale isn't.

One was self-defense and instinctive, it would've given her time to run away, the later was intended and final. And she owed him anyway, for killing and maiming Honda (which she had been having nightmares about for 14 years.)

Hold on, where the AWESOME soundtrack? I WANT that BGM with a passion!

She proved she could kill bigger bad guys, and then bought off everyone else. The risk/reward ratio was in her favour.

I don't even care HOW, he looks like he went 11 rounds with Bale and won anyway :D And he's freaking ALIVE which we knew anyway, but dammit, as the timer ran out I was increasingly frantic LOL. 10 seconds - I don't care, it was enough.

Dammit what a rush of adrenaline, LOL.

I really really hope they're going to make a special ep or TV movie out of his fight with Bale because I want to watch that. And I need to know MinHye made it.

Kim MooJin, ah Kim MooJin, how far you've fallen! DHS should've killed you anyway LOL. Though not really .

I LOVED how SeongJo dealt with JeongMin, LOL, TWHAP take an axe to the head hahaha bastard. And urgh, JiAn taking off SeongJo's head, yeeesh! That got really gruesome really fast.

But I don't care, because JinMan is alive and (mostly) well, JiAn made it and presumably so did (at least) Pasin. But I really REALLY want to see MinHye alive too. And to find out how the f*ck did JinMan deal with Bale AND Babylon. I hope he killed that freaking bastard general.

...Can't believe I'm seriously fangirling over a manic ex-mercenary killer, but here we are LOL.

You FREAKING BASTARDS!!! (But it's okay, I love you anyway :D)

You all can't see me but I'm having a one-person party of screaming around LOL

ETA Mouse, where's my freaking special ep or TV movie?

Honda. He's an ex-mercenary, probably. He's Brother's brother.

The actor is Park Jeong Woo, he was ML in The Director Who Buys Me Dinner.

He doesn't need a dummy, he has great drugs (that can help him pretend to be hypothermic and dying one moment and then he's all up to going to war the next.) And he has lots of helpers that come out of the woodwork like ants when he wants them. And he has a reason to stay hidden - he wants to draw out Bale once and for all, since now JiAn is living on her own and he can't protect her 24x7 as usual.

I think he's alive.

Yeah, Atom Comics, LOL. They're the only European source, everybody else is in Asia :(

Oh well, at least I know the novels are there, they'll eventually come up somewhere accessible here, too. I hope. And until then, we'll all just have to budget, LOL, money is for spending anyway :D Thanks for the links, they're all bookmarked :D

Yeah, just discovered Rosmei's only EU seller only has the preorder for HTSAAV (and wants to be paid in Polish currency which I don't have) and the other sources have just an amazon.uk option for the continent... but amazon.uk won't ship to my (European) country, probably because of taxes and stuff. So I'm kind of out of options at this point. But at least I know the books exist, eventually I'll find a way, or some retailer will pick them up for the EU too *keeping fingers crossed*

At LEAST SevenSeas grabbed You've Got Mail and Bring In the Wine (though they mangled the title, made it something like Ballad of Sword and Wine or something), if I get THOSE two novels, I'll be (almost) at ease.

Well, I mean, there's still Copper Coins. And a few others...
