Hell yeah, deliriously happy!

I'm ecstatic--full to the brim, clapping my hands and smiling like crazy that my daughter is complaining about it. :P



And right when the mood gets perfectly romantic, the laptop dies on me. Sweet Lord, what great timing! XD



Wrapped up neatly. :) Don't you just wish for a second season for new cases, and where Soo Ha is already a policeman and Hye Seong is still insecure?

And it's a wrap! :)

I thought this was going to end neatly, quietly and boringly. Wrong! I had some more tears and then some laughs too. :)



I love that all loose ends were wrapped up nicely. I expected the worst especially in In Hae's case but since Si On's dream told the story clearly, I felt very relieved. Yoon Seo and Si On's relationship will have difficult times to go through and I like that Si On will be 'clenching his teeth and endure' the hardships.



PKW's cameo was so precious! Gawd, I love seeing them together and the whole cameo sequence was hilarious! :D



Dr. Go is probably the first antagonist character that got a complete turnaround and more! He went from annoying to laugh-out-loud funny and adorable! LOL when he offered the ice pops to PKW hahaha!

I think you love her too :)

Lately I've been letting out screams at the end of the episodes not for horror but more for the romantic development!



Though I honestly hope that when the next episode begins, he's not gonna tell her it's just a 'What If' situation. Because for how many times now, we got to see how well she handles matters of the heart better than he and whatever he says is the exact opposite of what he does. The dude just can't admit it face to face and wants to make sure she actually feels the same way. What, is he afraid of rejection??



On the other hand, if he does admit it--what'll happen if Hee Joo's look-alike enters the scene now? Will he think Gong Shil was just messing with him all this time? Will he still have feelings for 'Hee Joo'? (Honestly, if the girl in the pic is Hee Joo's twin, wouldn't Joong Won's aunt recognize her?)

Take a right turn

"People sometimes find what they lost at an unusual place, or arrive at an unusual place by getting lost in the way. We think of it as luck or misfortune from coincidence. But not ALL of that is coincidental."



I thought I'd get a bit used to the ghosts but no, I'm still scared of them! O_O



CEO Joo is now convinced she really does see dead people and she's getting closer to him now that she has proposed to become 'special' to him so he can 'see' Hee Joo. :D I wonder if they get to resolve this past problem in one go rather than dragging it out 'til the end...but I guess we'd have to see Episode 5 to know!



The case of the crawling Cinderella solved. Case of the Nappeun Nyeon (B**ch)coming up next!

Layers of build-ups

I Hear Your Voice a great example of multiple, subtle, and not-so-subtle build-ups of scenarios. From small things like Lawyer Cha's hiking hobby, to memory flashback tie-ups, to unfinished conversations that are revealed at the right space and time in an episode, Min Joon Gook's revenge, and in the amazingly small world that our characters live in.



Seo Do Yeon, I bet you saw that coming too.

Friends and Enemies

The best thing about this drama is that the characters share the spotlight. I appreciate Lee Da Hee's character Prosecutor Seo Do Yeon, probably the most misunderstood character in the drama. Indeed, she is different from Hye Seong but then the point where they share a similarity is the way they uphold what is just.



On the other hand, we finally get Soo Ha's memories back and besides that, the reason why Min Joon Gook did what he did 11 years ago. A fact that Soo Ha cannot deny.



And then, at the end of the day, we still get to have a romantic wrap up after all the tension. 10!

How to fall in love in the first two episodes

1. Bump into fish.

2. Pretend to kill a bug.

3. Accidentally fall into the pool together.

4. Meet her on Halloween's.

5. Buy a bright orange ball because it's for her or want an orange ball because it's from him.

6. Hold hands with an interesting stranger.

Could it get any worse?

At this time, my irritation is already spent. I'm trying to objectify why the writer chose to volume Se Na up in this episode so much that she gets away with almost everything.



This episode is Se Na at her ugliest: narrow-minded, manipulating, twisting words, accusatory, driven by unnecessary rivalry and illogical hate. I cannot imagine her getting more selfish than already she is.



After the postcard clue, now it's Lee Gak's handkerchief. Se Na is now manipulating fate to her side and pushing Bak Ha further away.



Lee Gak still doesn't know how he's falling for Bak Ha: he kneels outside Halmoni's yard all night to save Bak Ha from being fired and evicted from the rooftop and he takes care of her after she spent the night looking for that damned hanky.



And yet he still thinks his destiny is to be with his reincarnated princess. Se Na, being the sleazy opportunist that she is, jumps at him in order to keep her place at the company.

Safety hideout at your service

This episode momentarily stops solving cases to explain what viewers have been wanting to know all along. :)



After unknowingly drinking a soda-soju mix, Gong Shil becomes a medium where souls freely come in and out. And so this explains why, after a long time having this uh dis-ability, she still avoids the lot of them while she can, and apparently this also explains why she can't just sleep or lose consciousness. The only exception to her 'fear' that I've seen so far, is the one male ghost who appears to her in a high school uniform (the one at the rooftop and whom she gives coffee to).



On the other hand, we now establish that there's a connection between head security Kang Woo and that 'abuji' who opens a set of jewelry from his vault~~the Master's kidnapper!



CEO Joo Joong Won's revulsion for her tones down and he begins to regard her in a new light. While he hasn't given her his full trust, he acknowledges the fact that she needs him as his safety hideout.

Off to a nice start!

I have seen the teasers before and thought this show wouldn't surprise me anymore, I already knew the premise and stuff.



Well now, what a pleasant surprise! I like the parallel stories and shifts between past and present.



Yoochun was another surprise. He showed a different set of emotions I didn't see in SKKS.



EDIT: I'm moving this up the scale primarily because as the story develops, I find myself going back to Episode 1 more and more. The premises here are needed in the future.

Nappun yeon case: solved

Case of the nappun yeon is finally over. Hee Joo could have stayed clear of Joong Won and turned over a new leaf but she got smug and greedy that it caught up with her in the end.



Why she still had the necklace in possession is answered: What Hee Joo stole was not the jewelry, it was Hanna's life and identity.



The happy ending doesn't come easily though. Gong Shil wants to free him of her--of being in danger while with her. But Joong Won clings to her now like she did to him before. But how is he going to convince her now that she's fulfilled her role as his 10-billion won radar?

Palli! Palli!

At least the politics toned a bit down while the odd love triangle and patient side-stories took more screen time. (Why Yoon Seo is so clueless, idk.) :P



The killer cliffhanger is back! And I feel like screaming at the end knowing they were going to cut it off at that. Do Han is frozen still and probably thinking of a thousand things to save his patients! Oh but Doc, you need to hurry, time is ticking!



Is the young mom going to live or is she going to die? Both mom and baby are at stake! O__O So anxious to see what happens next!

Yay for more character development!

Well now finally we get to see more surgery, character interaction and less machinations.



Thankfully, Si On's character is beginning to shine through and I think the biggest development is how he sifts Prof KDH's words and either learn from them (ie: don't give the patients vague hopes)or refute them (ie: he doesn't want to be in Clinical Pathology and even argues with KDH about it).



Dr. Acula seemed to have grown a conscience and backed down from a Heta Vizen investigation. Then by some funny coincidence, Si On disturbs his cncentration, compliments his calloused hands and gives him an ice pop as a reward (the shorter one of course lol). Hahaha! Way to go! :D



I'm fidgety, I hope the surgery will be successful and Gyu Hyun can still sing...(singing before surgery though--I think that was a bit of a stretch considering the infection...) But still! x._.x *crosses fingers*

Dissecting the mind of a murderer

First of all, for someone who is in a profession that needs analytical thinking, Jang Hye Seong did something stupid and was easily duped to Joon Gook's bait. Thank goodness, Soo Ha, who's 7 years her junior, saw through the bait and controlled his emotions.



Lee Jong Suk~~you have this role right down pat!



And so we finally hear Min Joon Gook's side of the story. That's why he needed those sunglasses and why he sent the articles about the best heart transplant in a certain hospital and there was one about a halmoni and her grandson. And so he wanted the three to know his side of the story. Pity, because his case was an injustice as well but it all went so terribly wrong.



Drama, thank you for giving me something to write about other than the OTP making out. Even though this one went a tad slow, at the end of the episode, you still gave me a bonus:



'Kurigu, saranghae.'

It's over! T____T

Yes, dammit, give me a miracle! T__T



Cliches one piled after the other worm their way to the end that I thought it'll finish like those messed up dramas you wished you never watched. *sigh of relief*

Loose ends all tied up and nothing less than what's expected is shown--in KoD fashion. :) Writers will have a flair for the dramatic, and it is, a drama after all.
