Marriage, Not Dating Episode 8

Okay, I admit it. I wanted him to give chase! And for the marriage lie to end.

Okay, I admit it. I wanted him to give chase! Though I have lost a lot of respect for Ki Tae. He created the whole mess and is supposed to be the one to clean it up. After all Jang Mi is just too nice, and she wanted to break it off well before things got this out of hand. I lay all responsibility at Ki Tae's feet.

Though Jang Mi is annoying the crap out of me! It's not her real mother in law. Even if she was I hope she would have enough back bone to say I'm marrying him. Not you! I get that family is super important, but she should be brave enough to fight for her ideals. Not to just be plowed over. Plus, what she's doing to Yeo Reum is really cruel. Knowingly stranding him is worse to me. Especially since she likes him, and he clearly like her for putting up with all that.

Se Ah is very suspicious. Or maybe it finally struck her that she can't keep doing what she's doing it's not working.

I also felt like Jang Mi's mom should have stood up for her daughter. Maybe she can't quite tell how rude Ki Tae's mom is being to her and her daughter.

"The marriage blessing sounded like a death sentence." - Yeo Reum

With a mother-in-law like that it really is! (Oh, and it's cute that Ki Tae has Jang Mi's mom as mother-in-law in his phone.) What I hate is now Ki Tae is not wanting to tell the truth not just because it will hurt her parents, but because he really feels for her.

I'm frustrated that they can't at this point simply fake a break up. After all Jang Mi has all the ammo. She needs to stick to her desires and say: "I am not a brood mare nor will I quit my job to feel ideals that I don't hold. I'm not a pregnant housewife that's only good for that! I'm a freaking person."

This episode had plenty of fun moments and such. However, it's gone on too long. Jang Mi, no matter how nice, needs to show her fire and just do it. Why can't they just break up instead of revealing the lie!!!!!? Most of my emotional build up is from frustration. I never like it when the female lead makes the second lead wait, especially even more now that her and Yeo Reum are actually a thing. It feels way crueler. It looks like the next episode may clear things up, or just be senseless beach fun. I hope it pushes ahead.
