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.

Also PSH was made for this role. I couldn't thing any experienced actor playing this role than a then rookie actor…
Apologies, I'm not completely sure who you mean. Do you mean Park Hyung Soo. If it is, then I totally agree.
Unlike other dramas, I still think about this one. Looney was an award winning character for me, I just can't understand why they chose to do that to him.
Fuck right off! Fuckety, fucking fuck right off! How to absolutely ruin what started out as a hilarious, heart-warming, delightful drama.
So many beautiful opportunities missed to develop, nurture and showcase the relationship between Toki and Sahara. Instead, some twat of a writer decided that us, as an audience, wanted to see three bloody episodes which mostly comprised of Nekoto and his back-story with Sahara. Note to writer, we didn't give a flying fuck about Sahara and Nekoto's back-story, we were here for what was sold to us, Toki and Sahara. Seriously, how many times did we need to be shown that scene of Sahara's confession to Nekoto and the rejection, I counted three perhaps more in total! Why? Did the writer think we were suffering from amnesia and continually needed to be reminded?
In the opening of the final episode, it took all my strength not to throw my laptop out of the window. It's expensive, so instead, I chose to verbally abuse it for the 4 minutes and 45 seconds I had to yet again endure Nekoto and Sahara's shit show of a story. If that wasn't bad enough, our lazy writer then decided to throw up that seriously tiresome trope of them knowing each other in the past. Seriously, at this stage I thought they're just taking the piss and absolutely have no clue how to showcase the developing love story between Toki and Sahara. I think it's because the writer had no bloody balls to sensitively document their relationship to us as an audience and instead chose to be a complete coward, kowtowing to the pearl-clutching righteous, holy water brigade about a relationship between a teacher and a pupil.
For me, they should have used the final episode as a time hop and shown Toki in university and how his relationship with Sahara developed. And yes, there were absolutely no surprises on my side that we got the ridiculous fish kiss.
And no, throughout, I didn't and don't give a damn about love with an age gap, I actually support and love it, or indeed love between a teacher and a student. Because for me, love is love. You simply can't help who you love. That's the reality of life and the world we live in.
I was only able to endure it this far because of the utterly mesmerizing caramel skin of Toki and his adorable personality. Sahara was also a stunningly beautiful man. Damn, Japanese men are seriously gorgeous. #JustSayin'
It's a 4/10 for me and that's only for the earlier episodes. And no, I won't be re-watching again. Such a missed opportunity.
Loved the first episode. Had me on the edge-of-my-seat. Especially like when the writers set up the adversaries, in this case, ML and wicked Mother-in-Law for a mightily spectacular fall. I can so see it coming. I think they'll soon start to learn, never mess with a mother who loves her child. Really liked our FL. She has incredible screen presence. She's kind and thoughtful of others, while exuding a fierce, kick-arse, intelligence - all eloquently delivered. I can't wait to watch her take them down, while showing absolutely zero mercy, alongside our ML, whom I adored in Attorney Woo - so very pleased to see him in a lead role - well deserved.
Damn. Damn. Damn. What an excellent, fulfilling episode. Our Kang Ji Won is fierce with a capital F. Those three opening slaps? I felt those, I felt those hard. Talk about playing the long, patient wait game to catch your prey!
I've noticed our girl has gone from being a squeaking little, shy mouse when conversing in the opening episodes, to being loud, proud and confident in these latest ones. Love the way she ensures she's heard, however, always remains dignified and eloquent.
Yoo Ji Hyuk's character is beautifully written. Not only because of his height and physique, he also has amazing screen presence. I find myself fixated by his face and expressions, pondering what's going on behind his eyes and that constant frown. Delightful chemistry with Kang Ji Won and they fit beautifully together.
I'm transfixed when Park Min Hwan and Jung Soo Min are on-screen. They seriously bring their characters to the party and although I've read the manhwa, my brain can't wait for what they're going to unleash next and how far they'll actually go. They bring a whole new meaning to narcissism and in the case of Jung Soo Min, sociopathic tendencies.
