Enjoyable!

This episode was really interesting. It sucked me in completely. It actually reminded me of an episode from My Girl (Korean Drama). The not being able to remember faces thing is oddly intriguing. The end of the episode excited me too. I think she just uses the name Chihiro Sawaki in order to reel in Tohru. Either way, she's smarter than she acts.

Genuine vs Fake

I'm glad they didn't prolong the amnesia part and thank goodness our prince recognizes which amulet is fake and which one is genuine! And he doesn't even know that girl is Hee Joo who's plotting to get him. Fail, evil twin, FAIL.



I liked it that Mrs. Go was actually telling Joong Won how to restore his memories while he's just interested in buying out the contract she has with Gong Shil. It was a big push for his realization. Ah well I guess she's not as bad as she looks. I find the twins more unsettling than her.



* * *

There was one curious part at the coffee shop where a man was talking to the coffee ghost and apparently knows Gong Shil but doesn't know if she'd recognize him--I'm looking forward to this 'cause it may have something to do with her accident and why she sees ghosts after it.

Love it!

Best line ever "The reason I like you? Because it's you, Just You. That's the only reason. I wish I knew. Then I could figure out how to stop liking you. I can't avoid it. I only want one thing. To stay as a friend who doesn't change" Awww

Undercover

I'm still processing because the ending felt so rushed. There were too many things going on in this drama that I think that last 1 hour couldn't possibly wrap it all up...



I love that to the end, Lee Jin Sook was one to keep them all grounded. Her support for Shi Hyun was powerful and acceptance to him. When he burst out and bawled like a kid (literally how he cried), it was a really amazing scene. Their connection and love for each other was portrayed really well. The love is unconditional and I applaud Jin Sook's character for loving him while expecting nothing in return. She's so understanding... even discovering the truth about Soo Min, Shi Hyun, and their relationship didn't make her lose her good judgement. The actress is phenomenal.



I appreciate the bromance between Shi Hyun and Soo, and I can only imagine the betrayal Soo felt when he found out Shi Hyun used him. The way his character reacted was definitely believable, he was lost after finding out the truth, but he was loyal to the end. I really wish he didn't have to die, especially since he died in such a stupid way. He shouldn't have gone alone like that...



Hyung Min... I couldn't stand him earlier on because of his reckless ways, but I wish his character would've been like that to the end. I actually grew to like him after him and Doc came to an understanding. I just wish he used the same passion he used to catch Doc to KILL DIRECTOR MIN AS SOON AS HE SAW HIM!!!



Soo Min, I don't really feel anything for her other than that she and Doc make a cute couple. The ending scene at Doc's house when she's all alone was really sad though.. I really wish they couldve been together.



The reason this drama was such a success is because of Doctor's Son/Shi Hyun and the actor that portrayed him JKH. Every delivery was amazingly beautiful and as gorgeous as he is. He's such a complex character I still don't completely understand him. I don't like the ending, but I think with such a dark theme as this show has, it was inevitable.



The open ending was appreciated but not wanted. I like that the show gave us the choice of his life or death... but I would've like a clear ending for closure. I see why they didn't give us a funeral or anything because it doesn't want SH's death to be set in stone, but his life isn't absolute either.



The overwhelming sense of "undercoverness" fits with the ending. It's like SH/Doc is now undercover with a completely new identity.



I'll definitely miss this show and Doc... Thanks for the amazing show with such wonderful talent.

Fun...

Looks cute and funny so far. Love the idea (its really similiar to some movie I watched recently). You cant actually see the chemistry between the couples, but the relationship between MiRae and her future self is definately cute and interesting.



btw... is it only me or Yonghwa's acting is getting better?

Hotness Overload!

I'm officially on the Cheongdamdong Alice train. I had my doubts about this drama but these last two episodes just won me over. I love Seung Jo! He is so adorable!! He definitely likes Se Kyung, he just doesn't want to admit it yet.

Plus Kim Ji Suk, you are one fine man. Usually I don't like men with facial hair, but I loved you in INR2 and I love you even more here. Tommy Hong is a freaking hot jerk who's real personality is covered under a fake layer of nice.

The ending was so satisfying. I was afraid that Seung Jo wouldn't have the guts to punch Tommy, but he did and I was like YES!!

I could do without Yoon Joo's character, but I get how she's necessary to the plot. Just don't give her too much screen time.

That’s a shame. I wanted to twist her neck myself

You got to love the evil badass Wul Ryung, he’s just too awesome! Every scene he has is pure pleasure, definitely my favorite character in the drama and I don’t care if he’s a demon *evil laugh*



But you know, why should you mess with your son’s girl? Bad daddy, bad! And just so you know, Seo Hwa isn’t dead and if you want to twist her neck, you just need to wait until she takes her own revenge, and then have a little family reunion, you know catch up for the past 20 years with wife and half gumiho son. Well, its family issues; let’s put that aside for now.



I finally get to meet the four masters; the head giseang is one of them! I knew she had something to do with the good guys but being one of them is also cool.



Things are totally getting interesting and I love it! It’s all because of Wul Ryung btw.

You gotta love Secretary Kim! He's wesome!

I loved how he was kind of teasing CEO Joo about Tae Gong Sil going with the CEO of the Giant Mall. That scene was hilarious. Kang Woo and Joo Won's facial expression when he was saying that to them! So funny.



So apparently it's not Cha Hee Joo's twin as most of us expected...it's a totally different person...I wonder how she is connected to the whole thing.



Loved the ending! Looking forward to the next episode!

WTF

If the director decided to show KKJ to us in YJ's body then it was a fcuking bad idea. At least some screentime should have been given to Shin Won Ho! I'm totally disappointed and what's with the 1 year gap? Jesus.

"You aren't concrete, you are marble of high quality."

Wa...I can't start to explain how much I loved this episode!

I love how they are getting closer together!

I can tell and Joo Won is really starting to like Gong Shil...what with him being jealous and not being able to fall asleep when she was on date with Kang Woo.



"You are ignoring the fact that your safety hideout is a man…you can’t barge in asking to sleep together just holding hands…you must think I’m concrete or something…." - Master Joo Won

I loved that line! He's admitting to the fact that he does feel something for her and is not a rock or in this case concrete.



Waiting for the progression of their relationship!



What's with parents abusing their children in each drama I watch these days eh? It's sickening. Yet I know it happens often all around the world sadly.



Overall, this was an awesome episode! Lots of moments that make your heart flutter a little.

Government Seems Corrupt

The government just seems so corrupt, which could be true or not... It seems like the people in charge are involved in some way. The head prosecutor, also Hyeong Min's dad, released the bad guy. They had a talk afterwards, which makes you wonder what their story is and how they even know each other.



The chief police... he's already obviously up to no good. I really think he's just playing them all against each other. He has all these undercovers out but can't be bothered to tell them whose on their side. He lies to them, when as an undercover, he should be the one person they can trust.



For some reason, I can't help but think that Hyeong Min might end up like the chief police simply because he's hell bent on catching Doc, and he does everything his way (like shooting colleagues and criminals UNARMED, he just doesn't scream GOOD COP to me).



Shi Hyun makes me scared for him. He seems to transition fully into Doc at the end of this episode. I don't want him to be the bad guy. He's given up hope after Safari told him about his mom. I think he feels like he caused her death by bringing her the drugs...



Soo Min says she loves him. I personally think it's a little quick for that, but it's possible since he's always there when she needs him and has saved her life a few times. I see how she's really getting wrapped up in this life now since she's built a bond with Jin Sook and even throws away the recording device (although I'm still wondering why she did that).



I can't wait for the next episode, the previews looks awesome.

I can't breath!!!

Lord! I don't even know what to write...from the beginning to end the ep was fascinating..it's a single day but what happened...can be put in 5 eps & the drama would still be intense...

So now we're back to step one...but at least DC remembers the hairpin!

This is the most unpredictable drama I've ever watched...chapeaux to the writer!
