Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 13

I'm still nervous about this series!

I admire the attempt to make a twist. Since the plot is pretty much in your face and the viewers are already aware of what happened and who the bad guys are. It just didn't mesh well. Because for a huge moment I thought the writer and decided to just skip a few things. So 15 days ago Dan Tae told his grandmother. That's great because it really bothered me that he didn't. I also enjoyed the behind the scenes stuff with setting up Dan Tae's plan to catch the culprit.

Sadly the story is battling with having what has made Beautiful Gong Shim so wonderful, and with the regular drama tropes. I honestly had hoped that the obviously already solved story would be taking a back seat to focus on other aspects. It's okay so far as we get to watch Joon Soo discover the truth and how he will react after the shock wears off. But I feel like this is the tipping point.

Oh, and I've been team Dan Tae for a while now. My heart still hearts for Joon Soo. Still Dan Tae being so open about liking Gong Shim was so sweet. So now after he's basically confessed and made Gong Shim fall in love with him he's pulling back. Because he likes her and doesn't want her to get involved in what he's in. Well he's still with her so anyone could connect the dots and use her against him. It's safer for her to know, and if he really wants to be with her keeping secrets is never good. -_-

I really enjoyed the cute moments here. The OST makes those moments even more adorable and warm hearted. I love seeing Gong Shim blossom. Even if she hasn't fully realized it, her opinion of her self worth has changed. Making her parents feel the same way as well. It still bothers me that Gong Mi comes first in their eyes and they'd take action in a heart beat for her when they'd have to pause to think for Gong Shim. Though you can't stay mad at Gong Shim's parents, they're too cute! They're coming around though and the mom tossing a certain someone on the floor is testament to that.

Here's to hoping this drama finds it's footing soon and stand firm.
