So he turns her down horribly and then that little romantic reveal. -_- You sir deserve to be slapped. Ugh. He does that then steals a what? Ugh!!
Not to mention that Jae Kyung is not being developed. The actor is making him so wickedly good! Every time he's on screen I shiver in terror. (I will confess to totally having a crush on the actor now, it was the red suit. That was the final straw.) AND I just found out that this series was supposed to be shorter but was extended because it was popular! Is this signaling the dreaded filler/slow down because they now have to drag out the drama?
Overall I liked that Hui Kyung cut things off with Se Mi, he doesn't want her to suffer like him. He still intends to win Song Yi though. You have to admire that dedication, but pity him at the same time. At least now he's taking his suspicions about his brother seriously, even when he gets that extra nudge from his love rival.
Oh, and I love the bookstore panel!! Ha-ha! Giving her advice on what to do about Min Joon. That was so cute and I can only hope that there will be more of them and scenes like that. Song Yi's drunken escapades of heart break were hilarious to watch, but annoying as I feel like she should have focused on some of the things he said. (Not to mention if he is lying and breaking her heart.) Oh, wow Jae Kyung plays dirty! Min Joon is no match for him, especially with his actions at the end. I hope Min Joon has something super cunning planned! Please, let him have something cunning planned.

Ah, we've come to the point where Min Joon needs to distance himself because he's leaving. *sighs* I still have many questions about him feeling the cold and if he can't swap body fluids with humans and all. Overall I like the way the romance is going. Especially when Song Yi realizes she has a crush on him.
It's cute.
I'm really surprised how things turned out. Not that Jae Kyung is framing Min Joon, but that poor sweet Yoo Suk (Se Mi's borther) seems to be a causality! I bet if she new she would have no problem telling her brother who the potential boyfriend is now! Ah!
Not to mention that cliffhanger! Oh, no. With Mi Joon revealing himself to Jae Kyung (see!!!! he found out before Song Yi, cruel trope) things are probably going to get crazy. I can't wait to see what villainess Jae Kyung and his wicked secretary are going to do next. (The secretary is the hot monk from Mirror of the Witch!!! Oh my drama! Too awesome.) I'm really impressed by the passing of this drama and I love that Song Yi at least has a real friend in her bookstore friend.

Somethings felt really off this episode. Namely Jae Kyung actually completely revealing to Min Joon that he would indeed kill people. Jae Kyung thinks risks through. Or maybe he knew that Min Joon knew. Also, I didn't care for that scene between Se Mi and Hui Kyung. That was not the look of annoyed friend, I think Hui Kyung has suppressed feelings for Se Mi. Which makes me think that Hui Kyung simply wants the girl that everyone else wants and she turns him down constantly so it's like adding kerosene to the fire! It's official I don't care for Hui Kyung at all.
Ugh, and now everyone knows that Min Joon is the guy that saved Song Yi. Early on I thought it would all come out into the open. Now I almost feel like Jae Kyung will know before Song Yi! (Well maybe not, she found the shard. But still.)
I still loved the heart rate parts and the side affects . . . how would a relationship ever work out? As his lecture stated skinship is important. (Yes, there could be an argument for how much skinship one really needs. My argument is that Min Joon kissed her, so I am thinking more than a little skinship is wanted.) I really enjoyed the look at Se Mi and the manager team! It's cute that they miss Song Yi, even if she treated them badly. Hey, sometimes people can tell when others are being fake. No one likes a faker.

That said this episode was great!! While I question the interview style they now during the episodes, before it was kind of like an "after episode special". It's off, but totally funny. Especially as Song Yi's smashes her way through his poor antiques!
This episode was off the charts with humor. Especially the flashback to the time Min Joon first tried alcohol! Levitating all that stuff was hilarious. But the best part was levitating himself and his horse across the night sky! Especially after talking about not drinking and riding a horse because of all the accidents going on. That image of Min Joon riding his horse in front of the moon shall forever be imprinted in my mind. When I'm said, back gosh I'm gonna pull up that scene! Ha-ha!
It's interesting seeing a bit more of Jae Kyung's henchman, and apparently another henchman? Apparently he's his secretary, but I don't think that was ever made clear. I'm a little disappointed that most of the side cast is being underdeveloped.
Wow, I like the way that kiss went down! Get it Min Joon! See even alines aren't immune to Song Yi's powers. Oh, and I have to give credit to Se Mi for finally confessing her feelings. That takes guts and I'm glad she didn't stay silent forever. Overall a brilliant episode one of my favorites yet!

The opposite of cute is Shin Sung Rok playing the villainess Jae Kyung. Sung Rok has the perfect villain look here, he gives me chills! Though I'm wondering when he's going to be developed even more.
It's interesting how the writer is choosing to pull Min Joon and Song Yi's "fates" together. Not to mention showing how willing people are to throw Song Yi under the bus. That without proof and on gossip people are so willing to toss her aside. It makes me sad about Song Yi's friend. Though it's true how willing people are to bully others, whether they're a big star or not.
Well I want the romance to be good, and for Song Yi to have a big comeback/something to rub all these idiots noses in. (I also got a kick out of her turning around and rejecting everyone who was firing her.)

That said I think Yoon Do is really cute, and I find his developing crush of Hye Jung to be absolutely ADORABLE! (Queue high pitched voice for the word "adorable"!) Oh, I feel for this character too.
Heck, I really like all of the characters! Even Seo Woo to a point, that's because the writer is really putting forth the effort to develop these characters.
My favorite side character is definitely Soon Hee! I adore her to pieces and hope she becomes a pivotal character.
Overall I really love that the characters are first, there's a good amount of actual patients and medicine, and the politics are there but not taking over. Doctors' strength definitely comes from the characters and I love it!
I don't know what this drama has done to me! I'm smitten. This is definitely my all time favorite role for Hye Jung. However, I'm still very disappointed! Soo Chul (hot motorcycle guy) is confirmed to be in the present storyline, but there's no mention or anything about him this episode! I have a speculation that if he isn't a love thrill/interest for Hye Jung that he and Soon Hee would be pretty awesome together! That's right I adore Soon Hee enough that I'd concede Soo Chul to her.
All I can do now is hope the writer keeps up it up because I have hit full on drama obsession with this! Now the wait. (Oh, and wasn't anyone else disappointed with the kiss? I wanted a bit more after the Pinocchio one! Especially with the chemistry the actors are working with here!)

What's more is that Song Yi is becoming more rounded. I do enjoy that she embraces who she is, and she doesn't believe she should apologize for it. After all we're all human, and everyone's said or done a stupid thing.
I really love the reveals of how Min Joon has lived the past 400 years. Especially the ending extra where we see him being hit on the Joseon era. Too funny!
I like the way everything is coming along and the side characters and stories that are being built. I'm very interested in Song Yi's brother, and I hope more of her bookstore owner friend will be in later.
This is classic drama elements, tossed together with mild sci-fi, and good campy fun. I really like how much energy Song Yi's character has. Overall this is very addicted and I'm curious enough to see how it all plays out. There's loads of promise here!
"You are my destiny!" That is so cheese, but so catchy. I've been singing it to my poor cat. ^_-

*Random thought: I really want to smell Min Joon's library. Old book smell.*
Song Yi may be just another stupid lead, but she's finally getting some character depth. The scenes about her family broke my heart, and I want to learn more about what happened there.
Also, I love the music for this show. It's really fun. Even the corny "You are my destiny" song that keeps playing. Ha-ha.
Jae Kyung, Hiu Kyung's brother, is definitely one evil guy. There's no doubt he's creepy and you wouldn't even want to meet him . . . anywhere. So far though he's just a guy doing really evil things. I was promised an amazing bad guy. So maybe I just need to hold on for his character development?
Overall I'm glad this episode finally introduced unique humor. I'm pretty sure the past 2 episodes were supposed to make me laugh, but it wasn't anything original. All of the antics could have been found in other dramas. Not to mention the whole setup that Min Joo hates everything about Song Yi. I get why it's a thing, that he falls in love with her despite hating everything about her.
Though does anyone want to see how Min Joon smuggled the shoes out? That puts a smile on my face.
This drama still has a ways to go yet, but I'm starting to get into it. Despite how very standard this drama is actually turning out to be.

Dear My Friends Episode 14

Whehter it's getting a view point from the parent's or the child's perspective.
Park Wan is right. Our parents take care of us our entire life. When something bad happens to ones parent they do think selfish thoughts. The reality is though that everyone is going to think selfish thoughts. What makes parents and children family is what they do when those selfish thoughts have cleared.
Overall I cried. Yeah. Dear My Friends balance of sadness and happiness has deifnitely tipped. We're seeing the sadness of aging in its element now. With two episodes left I'm gonna keep that box of tissues on stand by.
(Park Wan can not give up her man. Yeong Ha will totally understand, if not that's not how I thought he was or their love.)

Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 14
1 people found this review helpful
Joon Soo, I believe in you. He did the right thing in this episode! Despite me being on "team Dan Tae" and all Joon Soo was the lead I thought Gong Shim should end up with. He's so thoughtful and I love how he treats her. At this point I have a case of second lead syndrome, while still liking the first guy! Ha-ha. They're both keeping her in the dark and they are both at a crossroads. I believe that once Joon Soo is given sometime to process everything he will do the right thing. Heck, it would be crazy if he didn't protect his mother. This is the one good thing about the melodrama plot right now. Seeing Joon Soo's discovery and finding out how he's gong to handle it all.
Other than that I don't care for the melodrama taking over. The plot was obvious from the get go and I knew the who, what, and why before characters were even revealed. Honestly the plot is tired and old, and too predictable. That's why I thought the obligatory melodrama plot would be more of a back burner thing.
I think the writer has forgotten that the show is called Beautiful GONG SHIM!!!! There's hardly any of her and she's whom I'm watching it for. Dan Tae and Joon Soo are both great male leads, but the show is not named after them and I wouldn't watch it just for them. Gong Shim has been benched, she's like the bone between two dogs right now. Additional tension between Dan Tae and Joon Soo. Gong Shim is such an interesting female character for dramas and well developed, I don't like her being benched so two guys can fight it out.
(Oh, and Dan Tae was looking at her when she fell. What happened to his super powers? He caught her last time. I'm starting to see a pattern with this drama writer . . . . )

I honestly appreciated the reflection. Things work out, as far as we know. So it makes Hae Yeong not hesitate about the In Joo case. Though considering his conviction about finding out the truth behind his brothers wrongful imprisonment and death there's no way he wouldn't want to do some rewriting of history. So I found his conviction to let the serial killer not be caught in the past interesting, and a bit of a double standard.
Again this episode beautiful blends the timeline. The present and the past are becoming scary. I really worry about Hae Yeong. He knows Jae Han was wrongfully accused and then went missing. Why would he not be a little more worried? Especially since it seems to have some kind of connection to the In Joo case? Which I'm pretty sure Hae Yeong noticed the date of when Jae Han went missing. With this ending I'm really nervous about how the bad guys are going to spin the story. Like framing Hae Yeong. Things are going to be super intense from here.
(Fun little note I loved how all of the guys in the squad, in the past, new about Soo Hyun's crush. When she left the room and they all quite pretending to be ignoring her so they can gossip about her and Jae Han! Too funny!)
Overall I'm eager to see detective Jae Han and Hae Yeong's brother saved. I remember the dramatic ending of Frequency, and boy do I want a spectacular repeat with Signal.

Overall I loved how Soo Hyun and Hae Yeong played Chi Soo and Bum Joo. Bravo! They basically threw down the gauntlet and called them out on their wicked ways. The look on all of their faces when the full extant of how they were played was realized. Perfection. I always say the good guys need to win a little to keep the fight interesting.
I loved that after the reveal Hae Yeong and Chi Soo are left in a face off. The walkie-talkie found and static noising a way! Holy cow! How are things going to go from now? I still believe that Hae Yeong's brother needs to be saved and clearly detective Jae Han. Maybe the case that officially kills him is somehow involved with that? Either way I love it!

I know I complained about another story hitting so close to home with Jae Han, but at least the writer is doing everything in her power to make it A-mazing. Its hitting hard just how dangerous and unpredictable changing the past can be. The ramifications of not just killing people in the past (we don't' know if that little girl and her father would have died together on the bus or not, or if the girl would have lived), but killing people in the future.
For the sake of not spoiling anything I won't go into depth. Trust me though, you're going to want to be able to watch the next episode immediately! A life is on the line.

I'm still very curious as to when we're gong to get the full story about Hae Yeong's bother. The build up is intense.
I love how well Signal is pulling together. We get flashbacks to when Jae Han is getting the transmissions, Soo Hyun's flashbacks about Jae Han, and Hae Yeong's teasing flashbacks. Right from the beginning Signal has been ambitious and the writing and stories have nailed it.
Though I would like to have not every case somehow be linked or involved to Jae Han on a personal level. Signal is very character driven, but it doesn't need to be lazy. Make them work for the cases more, and quit making me have to watch poor Jae Han cry because of the loved ones he's constantly losing!

Again this episode masterfully expands upon everyone's story. I can't be happier.
Hee Ja's fate has be worried. Not to mention the cliffhanger with Nan Hee and her mom at the hospital. I also love the message of ignorance being no excuse. That people change and they don't take the time to reflect on their actions. I don't know what is going to happen between Suk Kyoon and Jung Ah. But I'm rooting for them.
While I've been foolish enough to say Choong Nam needs a man in past reviews, I think she is already happy. She's chosen her life and it's great to see how much she cares for everyone.
This, for me, is definitely one of the top shows of 2016.
