Once Upon a Time... in My Heart Episode 2

4.0/10 - I wonder if all the gunfights from here on will have never ending bullets?

Wow, so Kwan's true goal was to crush Fah's parents illusions. At least they know Itt is with someone else. Though to be honest I don't feel like Kwan is the real enemy. It's Dr. Itt. His name already feels like a prime choice for a villain!

Ignoring how stupid Fah's sprained ankle occurred we got the yummy ankle contact. (Are all drama writers and viewers secret foot/ankle pervs?) The for mentioned perv in me wanted Daniel to take advantage of that massage oil! I love how sweet and nice he was wrapping up her ankle! It shows a softer side to him. (Besides him dong that manic laughing.)

Though the most important conundrum is how and where are these guns getting their bullets??? (Bet you thought I forgot from my last review! Nope I'm mentioning it again!) Can I get one of these? Think how much time it would save to never reload? Boom, predator getting your livestock? Never worry about the reload time! Oh, my gosh! I paused to type and when he took the next shot of course it FINALLY ran out of bullets! So he uses his gun as a weapon by tossing it. First sword vs tie. Then gun toss vs actually loaded gun. There is a Jackie Chan fan connected to this drama!

Well at least cheesy swoon romance can be found! Though I knew the whole jacket thing would lead to Fah having that necklace. 2 months later! At least Fah has time to get her life back on track. I can't believe she would want to write her romance up and share it! I mean what if one of the mafia men connected the dots, or Daniel read it!!!!

So boo for trying to kill Daniel. Also big boo for her wasting her chance to kill him, and then not reacting when he was creeping up her leg to get her gun! What his magic hands made her forget that her weapon was stashed there? (I mean I'm sure Daniel's hands wouldn't make me lose my mind . . . maybe.) That lady was awesome! I was so sad when she got shot. Spin off with her as the lead. I mean she is the ultimate lady in red! She went toe to toe with Daniel! Boom killer lady fighter!

It seems like Daniel's parents are pretty cool. For a mafia couple. At least for sure his mom is. Though Daniel's dad just keeps threatening him with being unsuitable for the position of gang leader when he wants him to do something? I can't remember if his dad was the one to offer shooting Botan himself, or the guy making the threat about him being to weak to lead the gangs.

Why on earth would he want to carry her home, let alone she'd want a total stranger to do that? Did they start the fire? Yep. Not to mention Chen Min creeped her out about reading her notebook and then wanting to get to know her better. That smirk--smack! Boy you creeping! I was right! He left that creeping hanging picture in there! What does he think she would think with no context!? Hmmmmm, so he's going to use Fah. Vengeance for his family, Botan, and so on. But then as he gets to know Fah he will fall in love with her. Soon he will be the third wheel again.

Ah, so Chen Min got to her dad too. Poor girl. Who's the real villain. Not just by calling in her father's debt, but by warming up to her parents. He is playing dirty. I love that they at least let Fah's smart and awesome side shine sometimes.I love that she took a picture of him and his bike.

Looks like P'Yai, Chen Min's brother, did not have happy memories of Botan. Or at least the memory he has of her was tragic. I feel like the huge reveal is going to be that Botan did not betray Daniel. Instead she was tragically wronged and then framed for crimes. I tell you it's coming!

So with these episodes being 1 hr and 30 min long I can definitely say that 2 episodes almost equals 4. Pretty sure I'm gonna go through with this one. It feels like the perfect guilty pleasure. I am a bit disappointed at it's length. I mean it's what 11 or 12 long. So normally that would be short, but the episodes go way longer than anticipated! Still I do believe it's worth it. I can't give up all that mafia tattooed glory!
