Madness abound...

This was one of my least favourite episodes.



Soo Young's mother ... damn! The woman is hilarious, but her atrocious meddling is starting to get on my nervous, esp when neither Tae Bom nor Soo Young has the balls to put her in her place. Although she means well she's a mother-in-law from hell. I'm slowly losing respect for Tae Beum. He's been thoroughly whipped. Sad. I liked him better when he told her to butt out of their personal business. I hope that Tae Beum comes back, somehow I don't think he will. Disappointed. I wonder if this show is a genuine depiction of in-law relations in South Korea? Grown adults having to consult and ask their parents for permission to do everything? In-laws coming and going as they please? If it is, madness ...



Anyway, constant screw up Tae Sik finally got something right! I feel good for the guy ... although with a face like his I still can't take him seriously. Haha.



I feel bad for Ja Eun. She's not at fault in anyway, but she has to suffer for other people's mistakes? Why exactly? No fair.



In the grand scheme of things the episode actually wasn't bad, but for the first time I wanted to stop watching and that's mainly because as my favourite couple I'm not happy with how Tae Beum and Soo Young deal with mom-in-law. That woman seriously has NO manners whatsoever and it drives me crazy that they just stand there and take it.

Gets more interesting and less predictable the more you watch it

I think that you should give it at least until the 3rd episode to decide if its a show for you to watch or not. The format of the first episode doesn't show much, and makes us think it'll be the same every episode, but manages to introduce us to the characters.. While up to what i've seen (episode 4) each episode does bring us to the attention to one of the students but its becoming less predictable how she'll deal with it, but mostly, the whole connection between dream and reality is getting more and more interesting, and characters' intentions are still unknown. Episode 4 shows us for the first time the girl with eye shake SMILE and she turned pretty cute when she did ;)

Still going strong!

Even though men do tend to wait until its too late to come to their senses and do the right thing, I feel bad for Tae Bom ... the guy can be a tool sometimes, but this time around he actually didn't do anything wrong to deserve what he's getting. That's one of the reasons why I dislike misunderstandings as a plot device. It's unjust. I love the chemistry he has with Soo Young though. I hope things work out for them.



Man, I'm tellin' yah, the South Koreans really know how to wring every last bit of emotion out you. The scene in which Tae Hee sings to Ja Eun ... damn! Very touching. Brought tears to my eyes. And the guy can sing too. Very well done.



Tae Sik is perhaps the most pathetic guy I've ever seen portrayed on screen. They could not have cast a better actor to play this role. Just one look at the guy's face has me in fits. And not because he's funny, but because he's so pitiful. That said, I have to like the guy. Somebody has to give him a break, even if it's just me, a member of the audience. The character is also very true to life. I'm sure everyone knows someone like Tae Sik in their own life.



This episode (and indeed others) loses a point though for some really absurd occurrences. For eg, who goes to bed fully clothed in a bloody tux when you ain't drunk??? #smdh



I really thought with 58 episodes this drama would lose its steam eventually, but it's still hovering at 10 for me.
