Zong Shi fighting

I like how Zong Shi is starting to stand up for himself and actually trying harder to get Xiao Fei.

Also Mei Jia finally noticing the shop owner guy was really sweet too.

what next?

Young Ji rushed Cho In away from Seo Yeon because she is afraid he will be found out. I don?t think she understands that they won?t send him back to China if they find out that he is Cho In or maybe she wants him for herself. Although I can?t see her being selfish, so I think it is to protect him. It is so sweet how Cho In takes Young Ji?s hand to comfort her. She takes responsibility for him.



Meanwhile back at the hospital?people have found out that Seon Woo?s tumor came back. Seon Woo and Seo Yeon say that each other have changed and can?t seem to comfort each other. Although Seon Woo doesn?t want Cho In back and will probably end up doing something drastic, I can?t really blame him for his love/hate relationship with Cho In. I would be pretty ticked off if MY father loved some other kid more than me and then my girlfriend turned to him when I was in another country fighting a tumor.



Cho In walks into his old hospital like he is drawn to it, but can?t figure out why. He scares Young Ji?I think that she wasn?t sure if he would come back and then she would truly be alone. I?m worried for Young Ji after Seon Woo sees her picture at the training center. I really don?t understand why she is keeping Cho In?s identity from him. Maybe she is just scared.



So while Cho In is getting his physical the guy that killed Kwang Chul turns up at the hospital and stabs him with a needle. What ever is in the needle incapacitates Cho In. The crazy jerk finds the key and address of where to find Young Ji and tells Cho In that he is going to make sure that Cho In knows how it feels to lose something precious like he lost all the money that he basically killed Kwang Chul for.



Seon Woo has asked Young Ji to meet with him. When she comes to see him she sees Seon Woo with the men that shot Cho In in the head in the first place. Cho In has figured out how to get his mobility back. So now Cho In and Young Ji are racing around trying to save each other.

Bubbling Faith

This episode was brilliant, If not even magnificent. While Xia Mo decided to give up some of her precious pride for Lou Xi, Things doesn't work out quite as planned when the young master Ou Chen is catching her as a personal interest. He is evidentally turned down by Xia Mo, But to no avail. He feels something is missing in his life, And he also has a growing feeling about Xia Mo being a part of it.



While the whole kidnapping from the previous episode is replayed, The true criminal mastermind arrives from outside the shadows. Friendships are bound to go through trials.



I Don't think I could have adored this episode any more than I did now. Such a great role, Only the most brilliant actors would have been able to act them all out. My 2nd lead syndrome still is only increasing.. I don't detest the main guy.. He has started growing on me.. However, The syndrome is still one rather high for me.



The Drama OST just keeps getting better. I Loved the 2 songs she performed in this episode.. ''Bubble Mermaid'' was my fave though.



Can't wait for the next episode..

Still the history about the main characters is explained.

Now it seems that the main history about the leads is known - now I hope the real action will start.

It's quite interesting to watch Bok Goo's personality - it seems to be really complicated. Of course it's understandable as he has a complicated history too..

I really don't get why Joon Seong wants to marry Eun Seok even though he doesn't love her ?

The character of Eun Seok is a bit surprising - I thought she would act and look like a bit more like an actress - at least in this episode she looked like an average person.

too sad

Seon Woo watches these wonderful, sweet videos that Cho In made for him while he was gone for those 7 years. He cries, but I'm not sure why...seems like he was glad that Cho In was dead.



Cho In is interrogated by the NIS.



Young Ji tells Seon Woo the truth about her relationship with Cho In and asks him to find who was behind his death.



I love the look on Seon Woo?s face when he hears the information that Cho In has escaped and may be in South Korea. LOL Little does he know.



It totally broke my heart to watch Young Ji cry over Kwang Chul. She says that Kwang Chul is her cousin and they release her. Seo Yeon is visiting Cho In?s ?ashes? shile he and Young Ji place Kwang Chul?s ashes in their resting place.

even more blood

Wow...so Seon Woo has totally turned to the dark side. He just leaves Cho In in prison getting beat and walks away. I get that Cho In told him a different name, but I still think he knew that Cho In was his brother.



Kang Chul is important to the South Koreans, because they interigate Young Ji to make sure she is his sister.



Cho In and Kang Chul escape and start to make their way to South Korea. OK...This drama just got darker with the death of Kang Chul. This really ticks me off and I almost quit watching at this point. However, I really want to see the looks on their faces when Cho In comes back.



They have funeral for Cho In and Young Ji comes to the hospital to look for him as Seo Yeon is given the ring as proof of his death.



It ends with Cho In's entrance to South Korea.

I think I might just like this...

I love the chemistry these four guy friends have when they are together. There were some pretty funny scenes. I couldn't laugh like I wanted to since it's 3 AM here. And like purplenette mentioned, I also like that it's a more mature drama.

bloody

This episode starts with Seon Woo finding that his tumor has returned and a gun fight.



So Ji Sub is so intense as Cho In seeing the flyers of himself. Kwang Chul and Cho In get captured after Kwang Chul gets shot and they end up in a prison where it is probable that they will die.



Meanwhile Young Ji has gotten passage to South Korea, but when on the boat they want more than money. She isn't willing to do what they want so she jumps off the boat. She then wakes up in a hospital be in Seoul and the National Intelligence Service takes her.



Seon Woo is some kind of freak wanting to be awake during surgery where they drill into his skull.



There is political trauma as President Lee has left land rights and such to Cho In.



Cho In takes Kwang Chul's place in an inner prison fight that ends up with both of them getting the crap beat out of them and they are put into solitary. Their brotherly love for eachother is awesome to see. Seo Yeon finds Cho In, but when she and Seon Woo get there they aren't with the regular prisoners. She doesn't find him and collapses again. (This is all due to her bad heart that she has apparently had since childhood) Seon Woo of course doesn't want to find Cho In. When Seon Woo sees him in solitary, he turns to leave and Cho In attacks. End episode.



This is really exciting stuff. I'm enjoying it!!!

i guess i'm the party pooper!

i think this drama is super corny. i found the childish boyfriend, and silly manager to be especially annoying in this episode. The one thing I cannot deny is that the chemistry between the leads is amazing. I swooned during the last moments. It's moments like the end of this episode that keep me from dropping this drama.

Addictive..

I just can't seem to get enough of this drama.. My 2nd lead syndrome is aching more by the episode as I now have grown fond of both main males. Barbie Hsu did a great job in this drama. I feel myself getting dragged away when I watch each episode.



This episode was sad at the same time as it held a handful of relief. Watching it, You wanted to be there for the different people.



The scene when Xia told Xi about their parents passing, It was really touching seeing his reactions. Allthough I didn't cry, I wasn't far away from it.



The kidnapping scene was intense, Even more so when she tried to escape because of her brother.

I did it to save your life....Wait..what?

Song I is really getting on my nerves now.



Her: "Do you know why your name was removed from the trusted guards?"

Me: "Gee, I wonder why? I wonder who was the stupid *insert lots of Spanish cursing here* who caused that." *glares*



Her: "I did it to save your life."

Me: "I wonder why the heck his life even needed saving. Wasn't it because of the obsession of certain agassi?" *glares*



Her: "Please repay me with the life owed me."

Me: "You selfish, spoiled brat." *glares, grits teeth, curses*



I was actually smirking when he told her he would always keep Wol Ah in his heart, smiling when he said that the only thing he could do for her was die and nothing else, and full on happy when it was her wedding...buajajaja!!!!



In later episodes, they probably will have something and I'll be gritting my teeth and cursing her out, but right now I'm very, very satisfied that her life is miserable.

staying alive

I love that Dr. Jin is asked to save Young Hwi and unlike the past he has decided to try even if he doesn't think that he can really save him. I guess he ends up saving his own life in the long run.



So, if I'm not mistaken...we have Young Hwi as head of the bandets as best friends to Kyung Tak head of the law...should get interesting.



I guess Dr. Jin is going to get out of scrapes by saving people.

I don't get it!!

If your child kept getting into danger somewhere and a hunter knew where you were, why would you stay?!! I am getting so frustrated with the Gumiho Mother on this one!

For JIN's fans, not a great start...

Well i'm a huge fan of JIN, so of course i'm biased & i will compare. Indeed, 1st episode so-so when it was freaking amazing in the japanese version. They took away all its magic. (No surprises here, the best jdramas are real masterpieces)

What startled me the most was the very BAD acting, especially from SSH (that i usually like). I mean, he arrives in the past & doesn't seem too shocked (expressionless face..). I laughed so hard when he almost immediately asks "What year is it" ! Champion haha, if i end up in a weird place this wouldn't be the 1st question that comes to my mind. But maybe it's the script's fault here. Anyway, he doesn't convey any feelings, even when he's trying to save his gf (it feels fake). PMY is for now completely dull & uninteresting (maybe that will change later on). Jaejoong is ok i guess. The people don't seem too amazed at the doctor's skills but it will change i hope.

OH & what to say about the guy with the tumor?!!! I won't express my full opinion on this so as not to spoil the story for those who don't know, but big disappointment here (he's supposed to be desperate, not having a nice stroll)



They did a bad job on the scenes/ideas they took from the 1st episode of JIN. The script appears to be kind of faltering for now. But what gives me hope is that they changed the story a little. So hopefully, if they continue to change the story it won't disappoint me. Because i liked the new elements added. I mean it's useless to do the same thing since it will never be as brilliant as JIN, they understood that i think.



So i'll continue watching a little out of curiosity. Even though it's nothing compared to the original, the concept/main story itself is such a beautiful one that I can't hate Dr. Jin either.



PS: those who haven't seen JIN should really do so, provided of course they like the magic feeling of jdramas, that can be subtle or boring for some

Not bad for a start,

This episode drew my attention from the first scenes I must say.. The history and the personality of the main character is created in an interesting way. The ending was unexpected.. and surprising. Also the relationship among the brothers.. it left me asking - what happened ? Aslo what happened between Eun Seok and Min Goo? I guess I'll find out that soon..

I'm also thingking about the personality of Bok Go - he seems very arrogant, bold.. just a person without love and caring.. so I bet it will be interesting to watch how his personality will improve as he fall in love..
