The way he wanted Ga Bin to hit him and fell for a scream - I'd say he's a creep (narcissist with an S/M fetish). That would have been okay if either Ga Bin and Pi Young had been on the same wavelenght, but they aren't, at all. It's very odd to think about as a good catch, imo. But I'm learning about cultural differences in women's position, perhaps. Reading these comments is educational.

So many here think he's a great catch - it's kinda worrying, really.

A hidden gem - so glad I found this. Excellent series, one of the very best.

ep. 13. Hwal "You just stabbed me with scissors. Did you change your mind about killing me?" Sang Un: "Oh, that just happened" (=never mind, such small things). And they go on with hanging the laundry. Bulgasal, you just have to take it for what it is. Not finding out what happened 600 years ago, they're now trying to figure out what happened 1000 years ago. In the last 2 episodes, will be 2000 years probably.

Re ep. 6 ending, how could Pi Young let such an unbalanced person see her daughter, even from a distance. When she hasn't even let Ji-a know about the divorce. He could easily have approached Ji-a and spilled his whole obsession and that would have been awful for Ji-a. It doesn't make any sense, since Pi Young is so protective. And Pi Young acknowledged how Dong Ma only cared about his own feelings, not hers.

That's true. His behavior is crazy.

I read her profile and it's something that makes me understand the trainwreck that is season 3. I may be wrong but I think she made a cameo appearance in ep 5 (in the audience)

true.

and where's the expensive beautiful house of the grandparents? It's like a two room cheap apartment unit now

Ep 6 with the long dialogue would have been great if Sa Pi Young were just observing a crazy person's craziness but falling for him - that's a real disappointment. We get that she's needy and the guy is good looking but he's so obviously unbalanced. I really hoped Sa Pi Young to have a good ending.

Am kind of having a good time with this. This is pure fluff with funny moments but also cringey as. Why oh why does the FL act like a 12 year old when she's a grown up professional woman. And that hair covers her face so we can't even see what she looks like. The writers team, I don't get them, did they write this drama for an audience of under 15 year olds or are they just very unexperienced.... Do Korean men really fall for "cute" childishness in women or is it just a k-drama cliche? Jang Dong Yoon is able to shine with his acting although his character in this is a real jerk. And Lee Joon Hyuk is also quietly funny. Good to see him in a not villain role.

Greek classics are pretty melodramatic if you know what I mean. A drama needs a focus.

I'd like to add that the author has a hard time saying that it was historically factual although that's the real conclusion. I despise that kind of twisting. Says more about the writer than the drama.

Am glad that Lee Shi Eun's daughter remains somewhat balanced and sane (at least for now)

I would have expected them to become independent, move on and make their own lives. They're just stuck. Obviously the writer seems to think it's somehow okay to cling to bitterness and feelings of betrayal.

Definitely what I was thinking. The way he wanted to be hit by Ga Bin when that's not in her character at all. He's obviously emotionally troubled and doesn't have empathy at all. In a way that's realistic for someone so rich and privileged.

Not just the Lee Shi Eun character, why is it so difficult for Korean actresses to portray a mature sensual side. But it becomes all the more weird when she' in her 50s and has kids. In this case it's all up to the writer what the characters are. But still, a pervasive problem in k-dramas. imo.

Kim Jae Young was great in Reflection of You. It could be seen he'd move on to more prominent lead roles. Casting him will ensure success, imo.
