What Have I Gotten Myself Into??

So this is kinda my first heavy melodrama. I focused mainly on rom-coms and meloish kinda movies. HOLY SHIZZZZ I sure do know how to pick them. This was intense!! Right from the start, even though I hate melos and extreme drama, I couldn't stop myself from watching. I know I'm def going to need a box of tissues for this one. But I love Eun Gi's character! She's such a badass. I honestly want Eun Gi and Ma Roo rather than Jae Hee and Ma Roo. But I though Ma Roo was quite silly for leaving his sister. Dude haven't you heard the saying nothing runs deeper than blood. She's your freaking sister, who cares about the dumb girl who you've loved your entire life. Your sister depends on you. But then we wouldn't have had a story if he had stayed with Choco... so I guess I'll have to accept it. But this was a great introduction to melodramas for me.

There's No Such Thing As Just Sex Partners

We get to see more into Seok Hyun and why he acts like the way he does. Still no love triangle yet, which disappoints me but the relationship with Ji Hoon and Yeol Mae now has a foundation which is good. But we can see that Seok Hyun wants more out of the relationship but out of pride won't say so because he thinks that Yeol Mae wouldn't agree. Seok Hyun is different. He irrates me on some levels with his coldness and indifference but on other levels I freaking want to have his babies :P. Yeol Mae's two friends are hilarious again. The whole convo about the underwear had me cracking up, I was like WTF!!! I think I may take a peek at the next episode without the subs just to get an idea of what happens next because I can't wait!

Showcase Time!!

This episode was focused again on the love story plus the Junior boys working for their showcase. The love triangle/quadrangle is forming which makes me excited because I love Ji Woo and I want more screen time with him. This episode didn't really focus a lot on the President and Team Leader which I liked because their story lines are a bit boring. We get more background on a few of the Junior boys which I like because I want to know more about them and not have them be useless characters who are just there. We also get a bit on Woohyun's background which I liked. But still no disclosure to Woohyun about Seung Yoon being a girl, which I feel should happen soon, hopefully next week... So far so good!

Youthfulness

This drama makes me feel nostalgic and I'm not even from that era!! I'm right now experiencing my days of youth being the ripe age of 17, but why does this drama make me feel so much older than that? In a way it may be because living in this age, my generation has more knowledge and experience in the areas concerning the opposite sex, but back then it was kind of hush-hush, you learned as you grew. There is this sense of innocence that oozes out of this drama which my generation doesn't seem to have. Maybe in Korea it does, but as for my generation in the Western world it doesn't.

But YoonJae and Shiwon are totally adorable!! I hope they end up together. The scene from 2012 kinda hints that they are but I couldn't help noticing that YoonJae is sitting awfully close to YooJung (I think that's her name, its the girl who switches the guy she likes all the time). I love how this drama is set up like sort of a mystery drama. The watchers get the characters pasts and from that and the scenes from 2012 they have to figure out who is the couple that made it from 1997 to 2012.

I also really like the sheep noises that are randomly put in during funny scenes. I burst out laughing as soon as I hear them.

The only complain I have is that there isn't enough secondary character scenes. Its just a bunch of Shiwon and YoonJae. I'm not complaining because I like their storyline, but the ohter characters are also pretty important to this drama. It's only the second episode so I hope that they get more into the secondary characters.

What Just Happened??!!

What was that at the end??? OOO SJK's sexy Imma get revenge on you glare. So much info to process in this one small episode. Needless to say I'm hooked. I'm still afraid that I'm not going to be able to stomach this drama due to it being a melodrama, but for now I like it. I'm officially on team Eun Ki. I was willing to maybe forgive Jae Hee if she really did regret what she did to Ma Roo, but after what she did in this episode, No way. Jae Hee is like evil on another level man. She makes herself seem innocent and it's believable. But then dig deep inside and you'll find her evil core. Eun Ki is badass as usual. I love her, but this whole thing where she's going to lose her memory soon I don't get. I don't see how that would make this story better. I think it's awesome with the way Eun Ki is now. Ma Roo... he's a pitiable yet aggravating character. He keeps getting stepped on by Jae Hee. I really don't get how he chose Jae Hee over his sister. Drama I'm hooked.

What a CliffHanger!!

It ended just like that??!! I was intently watching and then it just ended like that!! Come on!! I need more of this show, I missed it while my laptop was broken. I was drama-deprived for a whole week and they do this to me!!

I love Hayato-Miku. I don't want them to break up. I'm fine with Souhei liking Miku, as long as she stays with Hayato. That way Miyuki will end up alone. (I dislike Miyuki a lot.)

The drama tries to humanize Miyuki in this episode, but she annoyed me so much in the past 7 episodes that she's beyond the point of redemption, plus her confession at the end made her whole talk with Miku seem fake. She's pretty (I guess) but if she was bullied so much in Middle School how did she have 2 other boyfriends before Souhei... unless she is thinking about puppy loves from elementary school... which is just pathetic :P

I also hate how Hayato is getting the blame for Miyuki hugging HIM. He didn't hug her, she hugged him. Why does poor Hayato have to get the crap though?

Anyways I'm fully invested in Hayato-Miku now, if they don't end up together... then... I don't know what I'll do. I'll make up an alternate ending where they end up together and erase the other ending from my mind :P

Evil Fathers.

I hate stories which have evil fathers in them. Well I don't hate them, I just hate the evil fathers, in this case, evil step-father. I honestly skipped all the parts where he was talking because I can't stand him. I get that he's essential to the plot but did they really have to make him such a huge douchebag? Seriously he sucks. Big Time.

Donghae is the saving grace of this drama. The only reason I keep coming back eagerly every week is because of him. It not just that he's really pretty (He is sooooo pretty though). Its that he is a really good actor. I didn't really get to see much of his acting in Skip Beat! But here he is really on par with his acting. He is better than the other two main leads in my opinion, though the girl who plays Panda is really good as well. The guy who plays Choi Won though, needs to show more expression other than that worried/angry look he always has.

I LOVE Choi Won's little sister sooo sooo much!!! She makes me laugh sooo hard. I want more characters like her in my dramas.

You Can Have Me.

Oh Jung Woo my heart breaks for you. You're totally whipped by Joo Rin. That scene when he places her hand over his heart and tells her take him, made my heart skip a beat. I would take Jung Woo over Gong Chan any day. Joo Rin has fallen for Gong Chan, shown in the party scene when she gets all depressed seeing Sae Hyun leading Gong Chan around as her boyfriend. Now the question is does she deny her love? My favorite scene in this episode had to be the snowman scene with Jung Woo and Joo Rin. The funniest was in the beginning with Jung Woo falling asleep at the meeting and also when Yoo Rin totally scams the boys playing billiards.

Interesting but A Bit Boring

I know that the first episode is usually reserved for introducing the characters and what role they are going to play and their personalities so I am willing to accept the fact that this episode was a bit boring to do that purpose and will continue on. That being said, there were 2 kiss scenes in this episode leading me to believe that this will be an exciting series to watch. However since I'm more of a fan of dramas where the leads fight and bicker and build up romantic tension, the kissing scenes didn't really affect me because there was none of that intense romantic tension. There was some in the 2nd one but not a lot. Hopefully this won't turn out to be one of those kinds of dramas where the leads love each other from the beginning of the drama and have to go through hardships because I'm not into those. But otherwise this drama seems interesting and I especially love the concept. Also, the previews for the next episode look promising.
