I enjoyed this week's episodes a lot. Yeo Jin Goo is killing it and the name Ken made me laugh (he really did look like a Ken doll in Diana's vision). Also, I am very intrigued by the forming love triangle around Nam Bo Won, hilarious.
I am keeping my mind open so far, the fourth episode was a bit lukewarm for me. I also don't see that much plot so far so I am really curious what are going to be doing with this for 20 ("40") episodes.
Yeo Jin Goo really shines here though and looks like a doll. I am rooting for him and for the drama as well.
I should probably wait to comment until I'm done the episode but I'm confused about one thing. Why wasn't he reported…
That was a bit hazy, I agree. So far, I hope that it will be addressed more in the next episode, just like this, it is left really nonsensically.
An elegant way out of this would be a coma for the mother (you know, when she woke up, the international adoption was all done and dusted). Just like they left it it has serious gaps.
On the other hand, Seoul is a big city and we (at least me) don't know the situation in the 80's with the police and social services. Also, there are a lot of people in Seoul with the same surname, so maybe that played a role? Don't know.
Would anyone like to share their thoughts on Seon Joo and her husband?? I initially thought it was meant to be…
Actually, I thought that they will split up since the beginning. Seon Joo mentioned a couple of times that she only got married because she was pregnant with him and even though she loves him (which was also shown quite a bit) the fact that he took something so close to her heart and put it to the public like that... I mean, making jokes about this obsession is one thing but this blunt disrespect toward his wife who has a successful business, spends the most time with their child (which was demonstrated by how the kid said to him once to visit again) and is there not only for her family but for her friends in such an affectionate way... I totally get that she is hurt so deeply and I applauded her for saying what you quoted. On the other hand, it still isn't clear what exactly is shown in that document. All we've seen is a trailer. It is important that they make such a fuss about it, but we as audience still cannot fully grasp the possible consequences it could have. This makes it a bit of a hazy plot point in my opinion.
I have to admit that after last week's "failed" confessions, I was a little unmotivated to watch the new episodes. I was pleasantly surprised though, they really brought it home and the sadness lasted only for a while. I also like how the show slowly shifts towards the hinted plot lines. It makes me excited to see the development of the mystery of the paintings, hazy flashbacks and I can already tell that PD's documentary is going to cause quite a shit storm. I would also like to comment on that first real kiss extravaganza. It did not disappoint.
Damn, Choi Da In deserves a slap so hard, that the wall will give her a second one (as we say in my country)! I am seriously heartbroken, did not see that coming at all. But, oh my, I root for SDM and Ryan like crazy. I hope they will get close as Latte and Sinagil. And I am starting to think that they will get together a bit later on and not break up. Fingers crossed! Also... after the sofa kiss they set some high expectations. The first (real) kiss better be spectacular. Just sayin'...
Well, that was quick! (But I'm not complaining at all!) The passcode scene has to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen. I have a feeling that these two have been made to work with each other, they click so well on the screen. Seriously, I need to buy a fire extinguisher, my screen almost went on fire a couple of times.
And I feel sorry already that by kdrama law they are going to break up for an episode or two in the second half of the drama.
This episode, I just can't... KJW brought it home today. Wow, amazing, he really did shine. They are SO GOOD together. I love it when the lead actors are matched in acting ability.
Oh my... this keeps getting better with every scene. The pain of waiting for a week for new episodes is real. But damn, my screen almost got lit on fire by today's episode. I love, love, love the main leads and their chemistry!
I also find the exploration of the darker side of the fandom interesting and I am learning a lot. I am not into idols or kpop at all, and certain tropes from this area really give me the creeps.
Park Min Young goes for it so hard in this drama, she is phenomenal! I loved the third episode (the part in Shi An's apartment was hilarious!!!), what a blast. Worth waiting for. I love how colourful and playful it is. And Kim Jae Wook is amazing as well <3
One thing this break up has been good for is the secondary characters and the relationships. The CEO/KJR bromance is a real gem. For a moment it was like a completely different drama.
I thought that I was I was going to hate these "they are broken up, it sucks" episodes but they made me even more emotionally connected with the whole show.
That being said, I love how the preview shows it going back to the usual :)

You made a valid point, though.
But with all seriousness, apart from some very little plot convenient things, this weeks episodes were emotionally satisfying.
