A heartwarming episode.

This drama mainly focuses on the love aspect, which I really enjoyed. I'm starting to like Ji Na more and more, though at first my opinion of her was so-so. I'm a little confused at Kang Chil's reaction to him liking Ji Na (she seems unhappy). However, I'm sure that will be cleared up in another episode. I also like the budding father and son relationship between Kang Chil and his son. I find it very interesting that his son is not stuck up at all, and even though he's a prodigy, he doesn't care about school work alone. I've liked Im Jung since the first episode. Awesome character. Jook Soo is the cutest thing, but I think there needed to be more of him in this episode. The romance was very romantic. I was really understanding the mood of the characters, especially at the end scene. They created the scene's mood very well. Just watching it I felt warm and cozy, and almost sleepy, so it's not unreal to think that Ji Na would fall asleep. I gave this episode a nine even though there wasn't anything particularly wrong with it, because there was also nothing very outstanding like the previous episode. It was a very good episode, but in this way I'm showing that this episode is not as good as the other. Still great, though.

I love-hate this drama.

I wanna keep watching this drama but there are some characters whom are just plain annoying. Thankfully there are only two characters like that right now, but they get so much airtime that I can't stand watching them and I have to skim through their parts. The first character that I dislike is the oldest sister, she annoys me. Her hair annoys me, her attitude annoys me, and her love annoys me. She loves a married man. Sure he's "separated" from his wife, but he's not divorced yet. I really don't like women who go after married men, knowing that they are married. I don't buy the whole, you can't help attraction thing, sure you can't help it, but you can control it. Besides, the guy she likes is totally cold, I like her best friend more. Her best friend is adorable and she totally does not deserve to have him chasing after her. The best friend needs to move on to a better, more deserving girl.

The 2nd character I dislike is the President's daughter. She just walks in the restaurant with an attitude, and no respect whatsoever. I don't know what she wants but the way she's acting just annoys me to no end. I'm pretty sure she came back to Korea because her rich husband in America left her, so now she's in Korea to find another rich husband. She looks like a gold-digger. I also really reallly hate her hair style. It's awful, women who can't pull off the boy-cut shouldn't wear it.



But other than those two characters I really like this drama and the characters. My favorite couple so far is the runaway daughter and the staff worker at the restaurant. They are a Kick-Butt couple. I love how they keep coincidentally meeting and fighting bad guys together. I also really like the 2nd eldest daughter, she's funny. I like the guy she's paired up with also. Though he may not be a looker, I like his character enough to overlook that. My favorite is the chef, he loves his daughters so much. Plus he doesn't take BS from the President's daughter. I think I'll continue to watch this drama, but I'll skim over the parts with the characters I dislike. Other than the parts with the eldest daughter and the President's daughter, I really liked this episode.

Wait, We Kissed?

Hahaha, I love this show. Well I loved this episode! Its really funny and plus the romance starts from the very first episode. This show jumps right in with the plot. It does do some character introductions but it does it in a way which isn't boring like a lot of dramas. The chemistry between the leads is already sizzling. I like how this episode introduces the leads by using their past and present. I really liked the flashbacks and I love looking at how they live now. Their past is like a drama within a drama. The show doesn't reveal everything about the past but rather as the story moves along bits and pieces of the past are being put together to show how the leads came to be in the situation they are in currently. I love the best friends of the female lead they are going to bring lots of laughs. The male lead is sweet but he's a jerk at the same time! The personalities of these characters sure are interesting. The most interesting part was how she doesn't remember the guys she kissed at all. I mean its ok if you forget one or two, but forgetting all of them... Is that possible?

Best episode yet. Absolutely Breathtaking.

I wish I could've given this episode an 11 out of 10. Wow. Perfect episode. They managed to incorporate everything I've really loved about this drama so far. I cannot begin to compliment this episode.

This drama has really kept up with good quality, but I think this episode had some of the best editing and video quality. There were some really beautiful scenes. There were really funny scenes as well. I cried, laughed, and gasped in this episode. It was so well done.

A lot of the concepts of this drama are a abstract. For example, in the beginning, his consciousness kept moving from in the water to in the phone booth, etc. It could've been really confusing and boring if done wrong. Honestly, just trying to explain such a concept or scene to a friend would be confusing. This scene was executed perfectly. This drama has various characters, themes, and genres simultaneously but It's not cluttered, confusing, or directionless. It all fits together perfectly. The heart to heart talk with Kang Chil and his son are is really well done. I'm also impressed at how this drama is handling the romance. It's very natural and fun to watch. The beginning scene was amazing, the sauna and karaoke scenes were amazing, and the ending swimming scenes were all superb. Everything in between was wonderful too. The script and acting have no flaws. So very impressive.

This episode was very impressive. Just, wow. My favorite episode ever.

Overall good episode.

I enjoyed this episode, much like I enjoyed the other episodes. Her giving him the cold shoulder got a little boring. I was also confused by her reaction. Im Jung also disappeared after the beginning of the episode. However, I really enjoy the development of Jook Soo's wings. The ending was very suspenseful. Especially when he recognize Ji Na's father and then finds out she's his daughter. She also seems to have a connection to another woman in his mind because the drama compares the two both putting their hands out. I wonder if its her mom? And he knew her? Very interesting. I'm excited to learn more about these past 'relationships'.

The Winds are Changing~

I think this episode marks the first in the series where we see a small shift in the relationships between the main characters. Between Ji An and Tae Kang, she's beginning to open up to him and trust him a little more. With Eun Sung, he begins to express more care and concern for Ji An despite the uncomfortable situation, but it seems too late, as Ji An has closed herself off from him again.



The emphasis though is Tae Kang. We finally see that his strong points are his kindness and determination--although he isn't too bright. :) I'm glad they highlighted this point, because for a while I had decided he was nothing but a pretty face. I understand his character more now! It makes me want to root for him.
