Holy whatever - I missed that one in all of my re-watches! Will take another look and add it to my notes. And yes, I have been writing notes when I have opportunity to re-watch!. I came to Crazy Love late because it took me several weeks before I figured out that Disney+ in the US wasn't carrying it and I was watching eps (on Facebook!!) out-of-sequence as they appeared and disappeared. Thank you for this tidbit, my fellow detective.

Agree w/you. Based upon what we have seen thus far, the stalker appears to obsessed with Go-Jin (the stalker room/etc), but it wasn't until the "engagement" became very public that there was an almost attack (motorcyclist) on Shin-na. Once we get over the super positive vibes about Episodes 11 and 12, I need to write out something about the stalker because gotta do something while we wait for Episode 13! Gawd, but I love this show!

So far in the series, there is no evidence that 'the girl" has been trying to kill Go-Jin. Sleeping pills in the champagne? Not deadly. The light fixture sabotage? No way anyone could predict it would collapse at the precise moment it did. Motorcyclist? aimed at Shin-ah, not Go-Jin. The stalker board? well. . . . . . . that one is unclear as to intent and the different # photos.

But Se-gi's sis? Yeah, pretty good theory, although I thought it might be Soo-young's older sister until I found out that Soo-young is 3 years older than Go-Jin. I don't know about "girl with "thick thighs and butt", but definitely look at the long hair/black gloves and mask.

I liked Ep 11 better (entire story arc(s)) made major strides forward) but this was indeed a very joyful episode - an episode full of joy.

Holy whatever! Thanks for the link. Makes me hate SY even more - she was older than Go-Jin, an INSTRUCTOR and therefor superior to him at the time -, ENGAGED to someone else (and I don't believe she ever told him) . She used him as her boy-toy. Hate her guts and she deserves what ever Shin-ah serves up to her and I hope it's at least a politically incorrect slap in the face. A fist would be better.

And I can't believe Secretary Jo is older - the actor is much younger (I forget right now but I looked it up earlier).

Need some help re: Korea birthday cake customs. I tried to find out on internet, but first 10 links were to bakeries in Korea, so figure there are some experts here.

On Go-Jin's birthday, there were three tall candles and five short candles. I assumed that meant he was 35. His age (35) was also confirmed at the hospital. [This would also mean that he was 22/23 when he was fired 12 years earlier. it would also mean that Go-Jin was 20/21 when he was a janitor and solved the Oxford math problem - which was 14 years ago according to Park].

The birthday cake in Soo-young/Go-Jin's memory (when he was still blond hair and presumably NOT an instructor) had two tall candles and 4 short candles. This would mean that SY was Twenty-four years old at the time - apparently while he was still a janitor? or, certainly well before he was fired.

Have they mentioned SY's age at any time in the show? Either the writers screwed up or SY is several years older than Go-Jin. Or, I don't understand Korea birthday cake customs. I've tried to avoid meaningful spoilers (I don't think age of characters is spoiler) but let me know if you disagree.

I had to look up what "iykyk" means - but I still don't understand reference to Kdrama formula, but then I'm new to the genre, lol so I guess I don't '"know" lol. I do know that in the few other shows I have watched, - which are all slow-burn type rom-coms, once a couple becomes established (after going through the boy gets girl/boy loses girl/ back together for good) the shows all go sideways because they still need to complete 2-3 more episodes before they hit the magic 16. Business Proposal ended up that way after Ep. 10! w/two more episodes to go.

Yeah, I got that vibe today - he seemed to resent the fact that he is being pushed around by Se-gi.

So far, there is no unknown "murderer" - no one has been murdered (other than poor little rat).

My primary problem with Business Proposal (and I loved the show for the 1st 9 episodes) is that after the main couple became A Couple, the show went sideways at the end of Ep 10 and never recovered. There was no continuing story of any substance. I still haven't watched Ep. 12 and not sure if I ever will.

With Crazy Love, The Couple is solid - and there is still MUCH more story to unfold. Writers are genius.

He's her personal assistant/secretary - it's his job to know. Main question is where are his loyalties - Soo-Young? Her father? or someone else?

I would be thrilled if this happens. After 12 episodes, I am a true believer in this writer - very few inconsistencies (all minor) and slowly everything still "fits" with the overall story (stories) arc. I don't see Secretary Jo as "shady" - his background is a total mystery and if he's somehow connected in a positive way to Go Jin. . . . . . . be still my heart!!!

Kim Jae Wook should get "Best Actor" award for his performance on this show - he has run the freakin' gamut of personality changes (cold, warm, smart, stupid) comedy, slapstick, not to mention hot and sexy as sin.

haha, I went and watched Ep 7 frame-by-frame to look at calendar indicated D-Day was on a Thursday, Oct. 27. So, I looked it up on the internet - Oct. 27 was on a Thursday in 2011 and 2016. 2016 also showed up in one other frame. So, not quite 6 years.

Re Se-gi :my impression after today is that they are beginning to build a partially sympathetic back story for Se-gi. I believe there is more to this story arc than simply revenge or greed, especially since se-gi actor is one of the three major stars. He's not 100% evil like Baek and Baek daughter (I hate her). I don't think this is spoiler post - talking about 2016, but let me know if you disagree.

And prepare yourself for epic acting skill by Kim Jae Wook. Worth watching every single minute.

He has been visible to everyone up to now, but Park Tae-yang is the only one to recognize him from his past. Probably some connection (cousin?) to the Baek family - he told Soo-young about her father in the hospital. But he’s younger than Soo-young (or the actor is several years younger than the actress) so don’t believe he would have been involved in the break-up 12 y ears ago.

So now we have a new mystery - who the heck is Secretary Jo (Soo-young's assistant). . It’s interesting that he is only identified as “Secretary Jo” on the internet. For those that understand Korean, does this indicate his last name is “Jo”? Spoilers below

Thus far, this series is doing a good job of minimizing red herrings (in fact, the two identical watches is the only I can immediately think of). The clues are thinly spread throughout but for the most part are consistent. What might be the issue with Se-gi and se-hee? Se-gi gave Go-Jin all of his money in 2016 and said "you need to look after me now, sir." So, maybe Go-Jin didn't do anything to destroy Se-gi's family, but in yesterday's episode he said that he wasn't a good son to her parents. Perhaps he didn't visit the father in early stages of dementia? Perhaps lost track of his sister? Much to ponder.

That's what I am hoping (i.e., release in US in early May), but others here on this board aren't very optimistic.

And happier for it, right?
