Haeundae Lovers Episode 8

Not what I imagined...

After that heart pounding cliff-hanger from episode 7, I imagined the opening scene of episode 8 to include Se Na ruining So Ra's wedding with her "deceased" husband,which would lead Tae Sung/Nam Hae regaining his memories thus launching a chain of problems and obstacles! Okay, okay so I know my imagination went a little crazy, but to me that opening scene was too mild and uneventful. The only partially good thing about the opening scene is that Joo Hee, that random secretary, realized Tae Sung/ Nam Hae's identity. But alas, she keeps all that juicy information to herself.. that angers me.

Besides that I am delighted that Tae Sung/Nam Hae discovers his true identity, although I am sad because it has damaged Tae Sung/ Nam Hae's relationship with So Ra (which finally blossomed into something. Finally). I thought that Tae Sung/ Nam Hae's identity would, figuratively, be a huge, harsh, and heavy-handed slap to Yook Bok Ja, but somehow it wasn't... and that annoys me.

Overall, I think this episode was acceptable, but a bit of a disappointment as the halfway point of this drama. Now I'm starting to wonder how Tae Sung/ Nam Hae's relationship with So Ra will progress, especially since it looks like it is digressing. I'm also wondering how and when Tae Sung/ Nam Hae is going to get his memories back. And we all know that is going to hinder everything.
