Slow...

I've come to the realization that Hwang Jin Yi is not a bad drama. It's full of romance, pain, and all of that. But I'm having a hard time with its pace. It's a bit slow. There have been no sword fights (which I should have guessed there wouldn't be), and not many dancing and training scenes. I want more of those and I had hoped there would be more.



And so far the only eye candy is JGS, but he looks so young. So, instead of swooning, I just want to pinch his cheeks like the cute little dongsaeng he would have made at that time.

Bout freakin' time!

I am so happy that some1 finally found out that Sa Na is a lying bitch. The fact that it is Tae Yong/Lee Gak makes that an even better ending. She will prolly pull some "oh wooo is me" bs trying to blame her actions on Park Ha. I can't stand manipulative ppl like that. It rly drives me nuts to have to watch them & then noting happens to them. Sa Na is evil in the past & in the present. I don't think that was her dead in the pool in the past either. I think she was trying to help the other guy steal the throne in the past too & the person dead w/ some1 else dressed in her clothes. I am glad the real Tae Yong is alive. I figure he will meet his woman Park Ha soon. I hope so at least.

Does ne1 else have the same feeling as I do?

Ok so this epi was like totally awesome. He finally realizes that he likes her & gives her a big kiss at the end. Yeah I just ruined it for ne1 that is reading this b-4 watching the epi. Sry!



I just want to know if ne1 else has the feeling of watching the Secret Garden at times? U know when they r walking right beside each other & something about the music says it too....LOL!



I rly don't care if they r trying to kinda copy those scenes b/c they worked in Secret Garden y not here. I love this drama. It is like such a roller coaster on my emotions. I love erything about it. Can't wait till I get caught up.

What Happened?

I thought this drama was heading in the right direction, but now it's going off completely different than how it began. There's no humor, and there's no romance. What happened to the good stuff?

smart move and yet not so smart

I loved grandma's decision to disinherit her relatives and wish more rich people would do the same with their good for nothing families, but the way in which it was all delivered isn't the best of ideas towards Eun Sung.

As if the girl needed another reason to be unjustly hated by everyone.



This drama is full of twists and turn and very typical, but I must confess it gets pretty addictive, once the first episodes are over.

I sure want to see how these three shopaholics are going to fair. Not to mention that if Hwan is penniless, is pretty much useless as bf material in the eyes of greedy stepmother, who will probably order her daughter to seduce Manager Park's son. LOL

Finding Your Goal

I really like the lesson that this episode was trying to tell people; have a goal with a purpose. It was a good episode, but I'm starting to miss all the humor and romance from the first few episodes. The last two eps were good, but I wanted to watch this drama, because it seemed lighthearted and romantic, not some deep personal growth drama, which is good too, but not where I thought the drama was heading.

Men...

They always bring trouble and always seem to want to change women. Eun Ho is torn because he's mesmerized by her dance and doesn't want her to perform it in front of anyone else. Sadly, for him, he knew she was a courtesan trainee when he met her and fell in love with her. -_-;



He's also causing her unnecessary trouble with others. I would have had a very tragic death if I lived in those times. I would have slapped people right back.



I love how they show the training sessions and the dances. I also like the costumes used by the Gisaeng chief of the troupe Hwang Jin Yi belongs to.

the most odious male...

... that ever sprang from a pen.

I wonder if the author was taking drugs while inventing the character of Hwan. Not even Lee Seung Gi's natural charm can atone for the character he plays here. I obviously know he's going to change, but I wonder why drama authors seem to believe the taming of a jerk were more satisfying for the viewer than a good guy finally getting a reward for his being good from the start.



This said, this episode marks for me the first, real improvement in the plot. All the characters are slowly gathering together on the same plot line, while they were like separate entities until now - quite confusing.

I am now curious to know what the whole living at grandmother's house scenario is going to create in terms of quarrels and banters.



The evil stepmother - who was introduced as such in the very first minutes of the drama - is strangely irritating me less than Hwan the Master Jerk, Hwan's petulant mother and - for now - Hwan's brat sister.

Seong-hee Baek is clearly up to more evil, I have no doubt, but she has just as evidently gone through hell (she mentioned her first husband beating her, among other things).

Nice job, Lee Gak!

I liked this episode. Lee Gak is really doing a nice job and the truth is gradually revealing.



BUT I started to think.. about the ending - how would it end ?



And I'm thinking that I might not like the end. Now it seems that Lee Gak is supposed to return to Joeseon to be with Boo Yong. and Pak Ha is supposed to be with the real Tae Yang. I don't know if I would like it that way because even though they look the same they seem to be different persons. I'm just hoping that this drama evolves out in a way I'll enjoy it in the end..

Right now I'm a bit worried.. Because, as Lee Gak and Pak Ha has spend to much time together it would be sad if Lee Gak will return to Joseon... dunno... we'll see..

Finally !!!!!

I waited for that for so long.....!!!!It was the best episode yet!

It was so cute how Lee Gak lied to Park Ha about his grandmother still being there in order to spend time together. The way they walked remembering all those memories....

Finally this drama is getting more enjoyable.. :)

GG <3

That is why I LOVE YongGul so much!!! He's not your typical drama guy, who lets his woman walk away with another man, he grabs her by the hand and pulls her into the house, he hears the phone calling and knows it's his rival, he doesn't just leave all hurt and teary, he grabs and throws away the phone and KISSES her PASSIONATELY!!! Oh.My.God!!! That was a hot kiss, and a real one, where Shin SeKyung answered to Yoo AhIn's kiss, thank you, kangdungnim-sshi, for not making this into another poll kissing scene!!! This was a long waited one... phew~ SATISFYING!!!

Then, of course, he went ahead, and presented his masculine dominance by demanding she resigns from the company, YoungGul-sshi...igon andwaeji... she's FINALLY successful, why take away her career there... yes, I know, because you hate JaeHyuk... if the circle goes on again... I don't know... just decide already...

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . WOW

I feel so. . . .torn. I want In Ha and Yoon Hee to be together, BUT I REALLY want Jun and Ha Na to be together. I didn't want them to break up, but i know they really had no choice. The only other option is that they run away together, but i know Ha Na wouldn't want to do that. She can't leave her Mom and i wouldn't either. And my heart was just aching every time the both of them cried. And on top of that, they're parents getting married?? Oh If I was Ha Na, i would have completely fell apart. But the final blown was at the restaurant where they had to pretend to have met each other for the first time. I can't wait to see how this is going to play out in the next ep.
