it's been fixed!

In case no one saw it below, the OST song played at the end of Ep 18, and in several other significant scenes was finally uploaded to youtube, track 6, "this love" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsJtqUj-hhM

It was FINALLY uploaded to youtube, the full 5 minute version (track 6, "this love") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsJtqUj-hhM

This was back in Ep 6. At about an hour in, you can see him back in his office after meeting w. Ms.Sun (he's in his street clothes) and deciding to call HJ.

Thank you writers, for Episode 20. It was just as perfect as ep 18. Everything was just right. HJ's sobbing with MiRae, her shoving poor Ms Sun (again) out of the Dental office, MiRae's using HyunJae for his troubleshooter mode, and finally the bridge scene. That scene was so perfect, the hug was so sweet, his smirk when he said he was "a catch", and what was especially great was they cut right to her apartment after, without some other filler in-between. Oh Min Suk and Shin Dong Mi have such great chemistry together, it almost feels electric. I just hope they don't keep the HyunJae-interrupting-them as a theme, twice is enough please.

Is anyone else surprised that HyunJae didn't start to figure it out when MiRae spoke of Ms. Sim's problems, etc. I expected him to say, "wait a minute I already told her to come clean", and then realize that was about his brother, while MiRae was talking about her boyfriend. All MiRae had to do is mention that she calls him Mr. Dolt, and HyunJae would have finally put it together.....I wonder how long they will keep it going?

Darn it! Now I've gotta go back and watch that episode again! :-)

I would like to see her father get a backbone and take on a stronger role, instead of cowering to his mom and wife. Right now, he's barely more than scenery....he's supposed to be a CEO?

Ep 19.. the start was a disappointment for me. OK, I get that she needed some space after the kiss and that it threw her completely. But you mean to tell me that she wouldn't have called MiRae to tell her about it? The elevator scene (what is it with elevators with this show that are so funny?) was great, poor Ms. Sun! And the "oopa" scene with the elevator was cute. I too was hoping he'd pull her in for a kiss, but he was smart as she's too skittish right now. Going to watch Ep. 20 before dinner, it looks like the Episode I've been waiting for.

It's killing me that I havent seen the whole ep, but in this scene he says he asked her out to dinner because he "had a bone to pick with her". Would that have been the dinner where he got too drunk?

EXACTLY. Take the previews with a huge grain of salt.

I'm hoping to watch the whole episode tonight...But I saw that scene....I loved it so much. But what do you think of starting off with the piano solo background music (that was used in the wedding shop scene with YuNa & Kyung Ae) instead? Somber and foreboding as she walked across the bridge to confess? I thought the scene could use some more seriousness as it was a big moment in their relationship.

I admit I'm guilty of watching the YouTube clip Shine Son posted above, even though it's un-subbed. I'm stunned by how GREAT the acting was in this scene, with the little subtle details. Here's my 3 favorite: YJ's face when HJ walks out....You can see him transition from: confusion -> fear -> action. All in about 3 seconds. Then, in the parking lot, after she says 'casual dating at 42, how pathetic', and turns away, he first starts walking after her, then look at his facial expression when he decided to pass her, to beat her to the car door. Finally, at the car door, after YJ says "Not see you again...", watch HJs facial expressions and her inability to make eye contact with him. BRAVO.

I am hoping that this scene should be repeated as the opening scene of Ep 19, and we get to see the full scene without being cutaway for credits, with full background music, which used a unique, more uptempo beat to the "Love Can You Feel Me..." song. At first I didn't like it, but it's grown on me. CAN'T WAIT TIL SATURDAY!!!!!

(this is just my thinking), the 'scam' was the fake wedding to get the apartment first. The "fake" wedding is dead, YuNa will not risk Kyung Ae's relationship with her. They alluded to this when Soojae talked to his mom and complained about not being first in the race, and she told him to back off. Falling in love with YuNa was never in his plans, but it's happened to his angst.

I too was very conflicted about this. Purely by luck, it worked out for her. She needs a mother-figure in Soo-jae's mom, who "loves and believes in me" and didn't want to end that relationship. But she had to get out of the scam as her guilt overwhelmed her, after that furniture trip. In the end, it worked out for her, and she's essentially ended Soo-jae's scam, which he is now aware of. They can now proceed with their relationship at a normal pace, with her future MIL's blessing.

I've never been to S. Korea and am not familiar with how Seoul is laid out and its transportation. Can someone give a sense of distance (travel by car/transit/walking) involved in the frequent locations in the series? I'm guessing Seoul has a pretty good public transit system.

Figuring the Lee apartment building (#73 on the street sign) is "ground-zero", I'm guessing the following:
- Walking distance: Yu Na's apartment; The Bong Food Storefront;
- Short drive (< 30 mins): Hyun Jae's apartment; the Law Firm office; KIlling Colors HQ
- Long drive (>30 mins): The Dental Clinic; The Hyun's house; Bong Food HQ; Hae Jun's apartment;

Does this seem correct? I think it's a long drive from Hae Jun's apartment back to the Lee's based on Yoon Jae's experiences? But it seems she's not that far from Hyun Jae's?

I'm not sure if HJ remembers, but she was told about the marriage race way back in the series....I think it was by Seong Soo one morning in the office???

Thank you! This series is really well-written, but that scene was just about perfect.

Agreed! There are 2 things that should be interesting: YJ needs to tell her that he's in debt (they've raised the issue of some guy chasing HJ for her money before), and best of all......meeting YJ's mother. I can't wait for how they'll handle that...LOL

Thank you, Ani. The show is edited to fit in the 8-9pm timeslot here, and with commercial break is no longer than 55 mins. I know its actual runtime is 70? mins, so I also thought that KBS-LA just edited it out.

Also agree on the side stories, especially the relatives upstairs.

But, I do really like the YJ/HJ story because I can identify with it. Her role (while a bit over the top as needed for comic relief) is very believable. Spending one's life building a successful career and business exacts a steep personal price that comes due sometimes when it's too late to enjoy the spoils of your hard work. She's fortunate she realized this at 42, when having a family is still possible. Remember her statement to him at the amusement park "Whats the worst part of being successful? Having no family to share it with".

And believe me, you're never too old to play games. The conflict we see inside her head is very real.
