saved by the ending

This episode bored me until the last 5 minutes. They made me hope for some spark which I truly couldn't see until now.

I'm glad Park Ha regained her memory and I can only hope she will keep this kind of behaviour towards SeNa, and not have one of those forgiving moment that would turn Park Ha into Saint Parka.

I don't think adding a meddling stepmother who conceals the real one to the recipe is a great move. This plot is already overly-complicated as it is. There are so many plot lines I need a navigator.

The reason why I go on watching is... Mikey Yoochun. He's the only character whose arc in the story I'm truly interested in, and I honestly think he's the one showing the best acting.

Oh By The Way, I Don't Love You Anymore. Sorry.

What can I say... Now we're going into typical drama territory where one person is all sacrificial giving up their love to help everyone else out. From there on we can pretty much predict what's going to happen. I absolutely hate Team Leader Han and whatever the show writers do to make her not look as bad doesn't work for me at all. I hate her and that will never change. I can now see what people mean about In Young, she is starting to annoy me now too. I thought she was just going to pretend to be Woo Hyun's gf and let Seung Yeon and Woo Hyun be together, but she takes advantage of the whole situation. But I did kinda sort of like her when she begged Woo Hyun, but it was sorta fake... Not bad but not amazing like the last few episodes have been.

magical mobiles and a hair-cut

There is a reason why evil characters exist and flourish: because they invariably have the cooperation of a klutz.

First Park Ha who walzes around with an open handbag in which she very casually put a check of 40.000 won. Oh, not any money, no! From that sum depends her future life: her business, her flat... everything. But hey, how else could the super evil stepsister rob her?

She gets a box from her american friend with a mysterious cell phone and what does she do? She ignores it, because she has to caress the butterfly on the postcard.

And let's have a look at the destiny of that phone: it falls out of the box, Mimi takes it per mistake (really?) and MAGICALLY it reappears in Lee Gak's pocket, just a second before he's going to have his DNA test taken, hence saved by it (how possessing a mobile phone could ever constitute evidence of your identity is another mystery, but let's cut the comedy writer some slack). Then he forgets it in the car (again due to the butterfly!!!!), right in the hand of our second super evil.

The movements of this phone go on, but it would take me half a day. Suffice to say that never in history a name was more appropriate: MOBILE phone.



After the silliness of the past episodes, I thought this one at least moves a little forward plot-wise.

The humour, like everyone already wrote, is the true highlight of this show, and the whole hair-cut odissey is, indeed, great.

Now I Get it...

So first of all for the notice... I love this drama, great acting, interesting and stylish plot... I like it... so I've been wondering, how come I can't bring myself write a review...

So now I've had a epiphany!

Has anybody notices the absolute absence of 'reason and outcome' effect here? Or am I the only one? I only see rows of events following each other and which don't leave a place for my imagination...

The characters... hey, I already don't know what to expect from anyone... don't misunderstand, I like unexpected, but when I'm watching a drama, I am supposed to analyze the character, feel closer to him/her, come to understand their actions... but wow, this is just giving me surprise after surprise... I don't know what to expect from anyone... Just decide on the pairings at least, please!
