I'm pretty sure JoonKi is after YoonHa's money, it's pretty obvious so far. He knew who she was from the beginning (at the hotel) and he ignores all the issues she has because of her family. I mean what kind of guy would be okay with their new girlfriend ignoring them for 2 whole weeks without even being given a reason? He is clearly trying to keep things going because of the money.
There are a number of characters I feel bad for in this drama :(...then again, I feel like one of stances of this drama is to show the not so pretty side of 'High Society'
I can't tell if I'm liking this drama or if I just really want to know how it all ends
Why does everyone keep calling ChangSoo & JiLi the second couple? They are all Main Characters (as is clearly stated above along with in the drama poster image)
Great storyline (great job stitching up parts of the anime into 2 hrs)! Okay acting. I personally wish there was better cinematography. But the ending was cute~
I kinda really hope that everything we have been told is not everything there is to the Soo In case, or at least to what was happening to Eun Byul before she left. Because, otherwise it definitely doesn't seem as a heavy or dire as Eun Bi's situation. Not to say that Eun Byul deserves something bad, but having the older sister of your dead classmate scary you and stalk you isn't really enough to want to runaway from your life (vs. the level of bullying that Eun Bi was facing)--in my opinion of course.
There is still the mark on Eun Byul's neck, and depending on where that came from, things would definitely get more intense from there.
I guess, ultimately, locking Eun Bi in a classroom as 'revenge' just seems kinda weak for all the build-up, sneaking around, and everything.
Not to belittle Soo In's death or anything--what happened was really unfortunate, but it also seems like a freak accident that could never have been predicted more so than anyone's fault. Being angry over the death vs. being angry about how the school dealt with it are two different things--in which case Eun Byul shouldn't be involved.
One thing that may go towards the domestic abuse (children) question that wasn't addressed above is the difference between Japanese and Korean drama depictions (of course, they are not all THAT different, as is mentioned above).
One difference between Korean and Japanese culture with regards to social etiquette that may (or may not) be noticeable is that in Korean culture it is slightly more acceptable to voice an opinion/frustration more openly than in Japanese culture to put it VERY broadly (in modern times, of course)--not to say that this applies to all topics or all cases(!). It is simply that in current times, if you were to compare society attitude, Japan seems to practice 'holding it in' and 'not addressing' it more so than Korea.
And with regards to mothers and the image of a mother (this being overly generalized as well), they seem to take different roles in both countries as a result. Although mothers play the role of raising their kids in both cultures, it falls more on the father to punish or correct a child in Japanese culture more so than in Korean culture. The mother, almost, takes a back seat when it comes to such in Japanese culture while in Korean culture mothers are the ones to nag and correct their children. This of course does NOT apply to all cases and is not an all encompassing view
Everything I have said is not 100% fact, nor does it apply universally to everything--this is simply based off my studies of both cultures through both literature & cinema (in an academic setting). As mentioned above, culture norms and values are always shifting and facing upheaval.
I would love to win "A Greek In Korea" for my Kpop Cover Dance Crew (BU miXx Kpop Cover Dance Crew)!! It would be a great giveaway to our members who all love Kpop and Korean so much <3
the passing of the 999 spirits was kinda a mood killer. it was all good until you actually saw a ball being passed in between their mouths >_< EW!!
aside from that, it was a very sad/heat warming ending.
"Apparently Kim Jae Wook suddenly quit the drama"
that is some rough phrasing right there, especially if his last episode already aired...iit's more like his role was completed--not 'he suddenly quit'
I can't believe she is the same actress from both 'Miss Rose' and 'Just You'!! To be able to play both of those roles so well, she is really an amazing actress!
...but now I have a huge list of good songs I can add to my library! <3

"A Geek in Korea"
If I won either of these, they would go towards a really good cause, so here hoping!!

Does anyone have any recommendations for newer (more recently released) horror movies that might be good?
