Ojakgyo Brothers Episode 44

Still going strong!

Even though men do tend to wait until its too late to come to their senses and do the right thing, I feel bad for Tae Bom ... the guy can be a tool sometimes, but this time around he actually didn't do anything wrong to deserve what he's getting. That's one of the reasons why I dislike misunderstandings as a plot device. It's unjust. I love the chemistry he has with Soo Young though. I hope things work out for them.

Man, I'm tellin' yah, the South Koreans really know how to wring every last bit of emotion out you. The scene in which Tae Hee sings to Ja Eun ... damn! Very touching. Brought tears to my eyes. And the guy can sing too. Very well done.

Tae Sik is perhaps the most pathetic guy I've ever seen portrayed on screen. They could not have cast a better actor to play this role. Just one look at the guy's face has me in fits. And not because he's funny, but because he's so pitiful. That said, I have to like the guy. Somebody has to give him a break, even if it's just me, a member of the audience. The character is also very true to life. I'm sure everyone knows someone like Tae Sik in their own life.

This episode (and indeed others) loses a point though for some really absurd occurrences. For eg, who goes to bed fully clothed in a bloody tux when you ain't drunk??? #smdh

I really thought with 58 episodes this drama would lose its steam eventually, but it's still hovering at 10 for me.
