The KBSWorld YouTube channel uploads the episodes a couple of weeks after they are broadcast. The episode broadcast today in South Korea will be episode 30. I'm not sure why episode 26 is in 3 parts. I would have expected them to upload the full episode 26 today. They are definitely uploading all the episodes, but just slower than the paid channels. If you want to view the episodes earlier, Viki and Kocowa upload them on the same day as the Korean broadcast, but you need to pay for a subscription.

Get your pitchforks and fiery pits ready then, because I'm pretty sure the writer will try exactly that. It's one reason why I think the engagement will be broken off fairly soon - the writer will need a lot of episodes to gradually make Sa Ra. a less horrifying character. I just hope she never gets any rights as a parent to Se Jong, and doesn't have any more children, because she's a nightmare as a mother... literally.

If you care enough about the characters to get upset about the situations they are in, the screenwriter has done a good job!

They would have to do an airport scene followed by a "X months later" caption, because this is not a drama with a budget for overseas shooting. Or, there would have to be a "US apartment" set, and she wouldn't ever leave the house!

Happy new year, everyone! And whatever you think of this drama, it has certainly got people talking! How many other weekend dramas have 5000+ comments on here at about the halfway mark? 😊

I suspect the synopsis was written by someone who watched a machine translation of the first episode, on fast-forward, while half asleep. I've watched the available episodes which have been translated by sensible humans, and haven't seen Huo Jue referred to as "Marquis" once, although the machine translations seem to use it. The female lead was not married at all (no idea where they got "7 years" from!) and the mention of guarding a 6-year-old child was actually a comment in the background in the first episode, which had nothing to do with either of the main characters!

It's actually quite a good drama so far, so ignore the synopsis completely and just watch it with an open mind.

Viki has good English subs too. Subbed right up to episode 7 right now.

Yes, the subs on YoYo English channel were fine.

It's too early to tell whether it will drag. The first 4 episodes are good. Not draggy, and quute funny in places. The plot is OK, and the female lead is fantastic. Definitely worth trying.

In places it's light and funny, so I was surprised to find myself actually crying during the 3rd or 4th episode. It's well balanced, so you're not completely overwhelmed by the psychological parts.

The synopsis is completely wrong. It seems to have been written by someone who watched the first episode from a distance while extremely distracted! Guarding a 6-year-old child is only mentioned in passing by one of the clients at the agency at the beginning of episode 1.

Oh he's definitely pretending not to know what he said when he was drunk, but that's separate from the amnesia. 😁

As long as he doesn't upgrade to Coma 1.0, we're OK.

Amnesia doesn't mean that you keep forgetting what happened every day. He has now remembered everything from before his accident, but forgotten all the things that happened after the accident (when he thought he was the 22-year-old). He can also still remember things that happened after he fell at the road crossing. The confession was after he regained his original memories.

There was a scene quite a few episodes ago where she imagined herself in the wedding dress.

The acting has been amazing. Ji Hyun Woo's facial expressions have been incredible. You can see his thoughts, even with small changes of expression.

Definitely. I love the boys' plans. If DD teams up with them, they'll become an unbeatable force, which SaRa will have no chance of fighting.

I agree. I think many people are comparing it to a standard 16-episode romantic comedy drama, and that's not what it is. It reminds me of a very old book that I loved, called Verner's Pride by Mrs Henry Wood (I did say that it was very old!). Books like that were extremely long, with lots of dialogue, and with many sub-plots and drawn-out agonising moments for the leads, but it was all worth it at the end, when plots were untangled and the main characters were finally together. It remains one of my favourite books. This drama series is similar. It needs patience. We're too used to having quick resolutions, and not allowing a story to unfold slowly.

I think that will be what eventually makes YG snap and tell Sara to get lost - when he finally sees exactly how she treats the children and DD. If he witnesses how mean she is to them when he's not around, he'll be shocked into acrion.

If you think about 16-episode dramas, you rarely get a lovely happy situation for the main pair before episode 10. We got our confessions (possibly equivalent to your standard episode 8 kiss in a 16-episode drama?) early. If the writer has chopped up the drama into nicely clichéd chunks, I'd predict a joyful reconciliation between our leads in about episode 30/31.
