Shit subtitles aside, OMG, what a fucking episode! I literally felt my heart in my chest throughout. Our FL has her man back and damn is she going to go seriously fucking fierce in the final two episodes. Those bastards are going down. They're going down hard.
Song Ha Yoon as Yung Soo Min, as a character, is beyond captivating to witness on-screen. She absolutely owns this role and has me mesmerised by her delusional state. What an actress. What an actress indeed.
Can't wait for tomorrow. Off to eat a bacon sandwich to try and calm my anxious soul. #Snigger
What the actual flying fuck. What friend would say to you: "You shouldn't be happy right now" knowing his friend is going through an absolute living hell. I wanted to slap his face so damn hard, while kicking him in the balls.
And yes, you have absolutely every right to be happy because you're worthy. Love you.
I was mostly bored, but totally agree with you about the way the restaurant owner is acting regarding Kai. Why…
Hello lovely Maggi. I haven't seen you online in a while. So nice to see you here. 100% on your analogy between the two dramas. It especially helps that both men are seriously hot and have chemistry in this one.
I hear you and agree on all your points. However, don't you find yourself slightly intrigued as to how it is now…
You never fail to make me laugh out loud after reading your posts. I hear you, however, this episode, I found myself intrigued as to where the writer and director plan to take us.
For example, I really wasn't expecting to see a sex scene, albeit the past and with the ex, which makes me think we'll have a sex scene with our leads
I get what you're saying about the chemistry with our leads, I feel it too. However, I felt this episode was indeed a turning point, which left me thinking perhaps they can showcase it, perhaps, it will happen. Perhaps, Soga can turn into a dirty, dirty, sexy boy.

I actually find it engaging for all the reasons you've mentioned above. Questions. Questions. Questions.
Every one of your questions regarding the restaurant owner I've asked in my head, but that's why I continue to be intrigued. How could you take in a little boy and abandon him so easily? It felt odd that his son was so honest and him so blasé. It surprised me. I wasn't expecting that. I thought he'd be angry. I wanted him to be angry. Yet it did give us a look into Kai's personality. He comes across as beaten down to me, given up on life and anything good is a bonus. But that raises the question, why now did he seek out Hiro?
You're so right. Hiro is his absolute focus and I find myself also wondering why he didn't pursue / come into his life earlier. Hence why I find myself intrigued by this drama as there are many questions.
I like it. Mainly because of the reasons I outlined in my original post. I'm intrigued to see where it's going and what it will unveil.
What the actual fuck is going on with the launch of weekly episodes and subbing of this drama? Why list as a Friday and Saturday when you simply can't deliver Viki? Poor, very poor indeed.
Let's be honest. The writing was beyond poor and the only thing which saved this series was the core cast's acting and namely Pavel.
I tried, however, to the end, I just couldn't see or feel Charlie and Babe together. It just felt so off in my brain. Whomever casted them and thought they'd work together was delusional. It just didn't work. There's no way a man like Babe would fall for a man like Charlie. From the outset, the bad writing gave Charlie nothing to be endeared about. I'm not only talking looks, but Charlie, in terms of personality, was simply dull, overly geeky but obviously good in bed. The writing of his return after allegedly being dead was beyond unbelievable. No way would Babe have acted so nonchalant after believing the love of his life has returned to him. It was just so underwhelming and ridiculous.
The whole Tony narrative was painful viewing and so badly written - totally unbelievable and beyond stupid. How many times can the enemy walk into the home of a serious gangster, fail miserably and yet return time and time again. Stupid. Lazy. Unbelievable writing.
No. I definitely won't be re-watching. It's a 4/10 for me.
Damn, I adore Fukaya Ka's character. I've always been seriously turned on by a man who is direct, speaks his mind and knows what he wants, while setting out to get what he wants. To me, Ka's character has harvested this deep love for Hiro for many, many years. He wants his man and OMG is he going to get him. I'm here for this and another wanking and ultimately sublime sex sessions.
Fukaya Ka story seems one of loneliness. He expects nothing, demands and wants nothing. However, deep down I feel the writer is documenting a lost soul who indeed wants. He does intrigue me.
I found myself disappointed by the restaurant owners conversation with his son. I thought he'd berate him for stopping Ka from coming to see him. I find myself perplexed by what the writer was trying to tell us here. Yet, I did get really good insight into Ka's personality and back story.
I can't wait for Hiro to seriously grow some balls and indeed have the balls to kick his Supervisor right between them. I see he's getting there due to Ka's influence in his life.
This drama so needed this episode to move the boring, staid narrative and lack of chemistry between our leads into finally peaking our interest. Well, it peaked my interest anyway:-) However, it took a hot, sexy, blonde ex with a killer body and smile to do that.
Ooh, this episode was good. Kim Sa Ra is finally starting to relax and again enjoy the presence of Dong Ki Joon, which I find hilarious to witness. Poor woman can't help herself. Dong Ki Joon has remained besotted by her for five long years. This is a man who is highly intelligent and funny and through wit, humour and sarcasm knows how to play the waiting game to get what he wants. I like it. I like him. And, she is glaringly still in love with him.
I really adore Kang Ki Young as an actor. First found him in Extraordinary Attorney Woo, (one of my Top 3 K-dramas to-date) and loved him. He's got such range, presence and quiet powerfulness on screen, while being incredibly witty, quick, sharp, cheeky and funny. I always think when he delivers his lines that he instantly gets his character and eats scripts like their breakfast. He was indeed born to be an actor. It was his calling. He also has incredible features. I find myself mesmerised by his bone structure and that wonderful, strong, Roman nose. I know he is going to do great things in this role.
I especially liked how Kim Sa Ra told Dong Ki Joon about her dream to take down her ex and get her son back. #WhoseTheDaddy. However, more so, how he has a chart documenting the demise and murder of her mum. Can't wait until he finally tells her his suspicions and they work together to take that bastard down!
That scene on the rooftop with the rapist Presenter was excellent. Made me laugh out loud. They were all totally fierce and owned their roles. The writer did a great job in telling the narrative of this story. Heart-breaking, yet focused and fierce. As I always say, teamwork is the dreamwork.
This episode was sharp, snappy, realistic and told really well. Looking forward to tomorrow.
KKY claim to fame came too late, but he is in a country where he can only play trivial characters even though…

Ji-Won has personal standards of integrity. She witnessed how hurt her father was after his wife (Ji-Won's mom)…
I still believe it is my decision, irrespective of whether it's amicable or not. Of course, I'd be respectful and try and make it amicable if possible. However, if that person didn't accept my decision, I'd simply walk away and have nothing else to do with them. As I said, it's my life. My decision and no one else's.
Oh dear! Here we go. I absolutely understand the trauma suffered by the FL and the need to come to terms with what has happened to her. However, I can't help feeling, I just wish they made her more focused, more driven, more resolute and at times, less stupid.
If my father had given me a second chance at life, there is absolutely no way I'd throw it away. If my husband and best friend killed me, there's no way I wouldn't stay focused on my objective for revenge and happiness. If a wise, kind man came into my life, also from the past and literally, helped me at every turn, there's no way I'd throw him away, due to having an ex. Hasn't everyone had an ex? What I struggle to understand is why would I need consent / agreement to break up with someone I no longer choose to be with? It's my life. It's down to nobody but me to make that decision. So, for me, the FL's reasoning to the ML that he had no right to break up with his ex is utterly, incredulously ridiculous and unbelievable.
EP13, will indeed be a whole other rollercoaster ride of the ridiculous.
