Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 18

Yes, I really wanted it to go like that. But to use the plot twist twice: Lazy writing.

Poor Dan Tae, all that pain was in vain. For papa Gong saw everything!! What a great scene. Especially after those tiring moments before. Phew.

Ugh. Basically Dan Tae is saying, "Stay compliant and don't ask questions. Just unwaveringly ignore how I won't tell you anything." At least Gong Shim got her two cents in, even though I felt like that wasn't how she would have reacted earlier on in the show. Now I just feel like certain parts of her personality have changed. If it's because of her loving Dan Tae, that's a no. But I think the writer just decided to make her more drama friendly.

Redemption! ;_; Redemption Joon Soo. I never doubted you. Anyone would debate with their loved ones involved. It would have worked out so much better if the writer hadn't used her trump card before. Because, I called it and I don't think the leap of thought will be too much for other viewers. My only thought is why would you use your plot twist again? Lazy writing.

It hit me during the boring parts of this episode: I'm reading for Beautiful Gong Shim to be over. I was ready quite a while ago actually. It's those brilliant moments shining through of the things I enjoyed earelier that keep me hooked. Gong Shim and her family. Now my need for Joon Soo's and Gong Shim's dad's to be BFFs! Ha-ha. It just makes me said that the writer chose to go this way with the Beautiful Gong Shim. 2 episodes left guys, and with the big case on the cusp of being over with I'm hoping that the story will evolve around other things for the final two episodes. (Man do I feel bad for Gong Mi the character and the actress. They've basically turned her into an after thought.)

Rating: 5 Average, only a few things are making it good. (I'd give the good parts an 8 though!)
