Hello Monster Episode 10

The clever boy is turning into a dumb because of his dumb princess?

Their first kiss happened. Their useless first kiss. Once again I’m asking myself why the screenwriters are trying so hard to make this romantic story happening.
They can’t match, they won’t match. He’s clever, she a pain in the back. So why did they change Lee Hyeon personality so much to fit in with JinAh stalker and nagging mind???
Lee Hyeon spent so much time worring for that useless and pathetic cop instead of trying to look properly for Min.
But let’s talk about Min. He’s cold attitude, a little bit bratty boy, is saving this drama.
He’s a lost boy, in the episode we clearly saw that no one tried to look for him. So he grew up angry, seeking for revenge on his brother. But is he really into revenge? As we saw he was barely holding back his tears when he stepped inside his old house after a long time.
Now, let’s talk about Mr. Creepy Doctor. He looks like a good man, but that stare he gave to that bad guy accomplice was creepy yet so freaking interesting! A perfect villain has to have the perfect gaze. And that stare was really something!

I expected more

It is funny how the proverbial s**t has hit the fan and the major male leads are having an intellectual discussion. Even when interrogating the perpetrators brother the brain team just rip him to shreds with their hypothesis I had a big smile on my face. Oh the burden that the intellectually gifted have to bear talking down to regular folks...sigh!
This episode Ji Ah could have shined, but even when she acted in the right way she subconsciously was second guessing wondering if Lee Hyeon would do. Granted she is brave but that is it, she can't fight, she is not smart, suave or confident. She just disappoints every time. She even shows signs of PTSD which is believable but disappointing for the strong female lead I was hoping she would be, the kind that would let nothing or no one phase her.
I see how the show is trying to justify Min's actions with this episode, but I'm not buying it. I suspect that he has something to do with dear old mom's death too.
Also Lee Hyeon had fish eyes during the kiss!!!

I REALLY should've waited until it's completed ...

I don't know why I'm still surprised with every new episode that I watch, but this drama really keeps getting better and better which is awful because this makes me want to know what's going to happen next so so so badly and unfortunately I don't belong to those people who are very patient.

This episode was really interesting and I liked just everything about it. I loved how Hyeon and his mini-squad worked together to help find Ji An. Although it was also somehow really creepy at the same time because we know that Lawyer Jung (although I'm not 100% sure if he really is Min (even though it's most likely, I found the revelation to be too fast and too easy. I also believe that the writers intentionally make us believe that this keyboard guy (Eun Bok) may also be a potential Min, but I don't know about this ...)) is a murderer and we still don't really know about Jun Ho. Although I don't think that he's Lee Jun Yeong, I believe that he's some kind of creep (he may be a harmless creep but we can't eliminate the possibility of him being a very murderous creep) after seeing the way he communicated with the murderer's girlfriend. That really sent chills down my spine.

Anyway this whole drama makes me feel like a detective and I find myself rooting for the characters and loving them. Probably more than I should.
But what kind of surprises me is the fact that I'm honestly shipping Hyeon and Ji An although I believe that this drama is pretty good even without a romantic plotline. But I somehow reallyl want to see these 2 together, because their relationship is this great. It's a kind of silent affection that's between them and you know that they adore each other (even if one of them doesn't seem to know yet while the other is pretty much aware that she has feelings for him).
But the kiss at the ending actually caught me off guard. I didn't expect it. Like at all. And I'm not sure if I'm liking it because at this point I can't see them have a romantic relationship. Especially since Hyeon doesn't see her that way (yet). And I really don't want to see Ji An get hurt. She's my baby girl and I want her to be happy without feeling rejected.
But maybe that's for the best. This way Min won't want to kill her immediately if/when he finds out that she is dating his cherished hyung.
