knew there was a good reason for Su Hyeon to beat that dude, & sorry but him saying "...Jae Min put him up to it..." might be true, but who goes along with sh*t like that? plus he didn't look like he was just going through the motions, it looked like he was into Da On & if Da On hadn't called Su Hyeon, god only knows what would've happened & how much further Jae Min would've allowed that guy to get, before he stepped in & stopped him!!? ********************************************************************also, why even do that sh*t, Da On was already crushing on him what more did he want? like how sick is he in the head?!? dude is seriously messed-up, he's already using Da On's family situation to hold him close & indebted to him. he also wanted to destroy him mentally?!? does he suffer from munchausen by proxy - hurt him while also acts like his savior?!? WTF**********************************************************************************************************************************************& sorry for Su Hyeon that he got manipulated by a psycho like Jae Min, but it is too late - he missed the boat & needs to come clean, so he can get his heart broken & move on. cause given his family, he can't allow himself to love whoever he wants & live the life he chooses. if he gave up everything maybe & yet cause he has played the part of the bad-guy too a tea, now changing his image in Da On's eyes will be near impossible. ********************************************************************************************************************************************Seong Hyeon it the best, healthies choice for Da On, the kiss while hot wasn't appropriate considering Da On was out of his mind. so u can't really call it consensual. know it's hard but Seong Hyeon should've held back after the initial kiss & waited for Da On to be sober - then he wouldn't call out some other guys name

both Jae Min & Su Hyeon r morons, they fighting each other - which is great cause that cleared the way for Seong Hyeon to reach Da On 1st.******************************************************************************************************************************************but i don't get the stupid bet on Jae Min's part. he knows that Da On's has a crush on him & would happily date him. why make the offer to Su Hyeon in the 1st place?!? it's not like Su Hyeon confessing would make Da On date him. Su Hyeon on the other hand, making the bet is logical. cause he also noticed that Da On had eyes only for Jae Min, so he wouldn't stand a chance when he confessed. so his choice was logical. ******************************************************************************************************************************************but i am happy for Seong Hyeon, he is such a big hearted guy he deserves happiness. i just hope he doesn't get rejected. also love that he is kind & giving, but i really wish he would stop telling Da On to not show thanks for all he receives. being a giver is a great quality, but u also need to know ur worth & not blindly give - people need to appreciate u, saying thanks is the least they can do in return! his attitude will make the receiver complacent & in the worse case scenario, they might take him for granted. ******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Su Hyeon needs to take a chill-pill. dude's like the freakin hulk. doesn't he get that he is scaring the sh*t out of Da On?!? who thinks that's a turn-on? or is he a Neanderthal, thinking that bashing Da On on the head with a club & dragging him back to his cave, is the way to win him over?!???

idk why people salivating over Su Hyeon (or even Jae Min for that matter - whom i dislike), not that i like or dislike him (Su Hyeon) as we haven't seen much of him, for me to form an opinion. the fact he beat someone, tells me that maybe that dude was harassing or trying to hurt Da On & the epilogue kinda affirms my conclusions. *****************************************************************************************************************************************Seong Hyeon is a sweetheart & i think if anyone deserves to be the ML, it is him. he's considerate, supportive & sorry but anyone would start developing feelings, with how Da On finds reasons to get close to him, touching him when that isn't something average co-workers do, even if they working together for yrs. ***********************************************************heck in this BL everyone very touchy feely & that's Not normal even between acquittance's - like how Jae Min keeps touching Da On. *********************************************************************************************************************************it feels like a tease & when he gets confessed too, he gaslights Da On, as if he the deluded one that's in the wrong, to interpreter Jae Min's words as actions as flirting -*****************************************************************************************************************************************from what i've seen Jae Min was attracted to Da On the sec he saw him & that is why he rushed to offer his tutoring services (for free). Da On having a crush on him was a great ego massage, that he loves getting - but why he started dating Su Hyeon or why he rejected Da On i have yet to figure out.

the guy playing Jung Da On is Very beautiful. think he is the best looking among the girls, let alone the guys in this drama. he is like a picture, every time his face comes on screen, i just keep thinking, he is so pretty - from every angle.***********************************************************************************************************************************************there were a few cringe moments, but thankfully Ju Seong Hyeon's bubbly, cheerful personality made me laugh & i could get over the 2nd hand embarrassment. unlike Da On & Jae Min he doesn't take himself too seriously. the other 2 from what i have seen, walk around with a dark cloud hovering over them. maybe in Da On's case i can get it (considering his unrequited love & his family situation) but there is tension between them & it made me uncomfortable.*********************************************************************************************************************************************idk how the new guy Jae Min's ex fits in, but guess we will see as this unfolds. as is (if Da On decides to stop being a curmudgeon, maybe then he would be worthy of Seong Hyeon. cause i want someone that will add to Seong Hyeon's happiness, not bring him down. so lets hope Da On doesn't put him through the wringer...

bitter sweet ending. idk how i feel about it - like there is logic in Song I Heon moving on, when Kim Deuk Pal's soul is occupying his body. but him hanging around & then deciding to move on (& the reason why), just shows how he got broken & that is so depressingly sad IMO. **********************************************************************************************************************that's also why i kind don't agree with how he rushed to forgive Choi Se Kyung, that scene was needed more for Choi Se Kyung sake, then the victims. the fact Choi Se Kyung was suffering didn't justify him taking it out on someone that was worse off then him. so i personally still don't like Choi Se Kyung any better by the end. i am Very happy for him, that he has finally started standing up to his father - but that doesn't mean i forgive what he did to Song I Heon *********************************************************************************************************************************************also how Lee Mi Kyung was dealt with, was totally unsatisfying. i don't care that the gross chairman will drop her (or not). she actively made Song I Heon's & his mothers life a living hell. & by her getting tossed aside & a few mins of kneeling in embarrassment ,make's it ok?!? miss me with this sh*t.******************************************************************************************************************************************the best redemption arc was Hong Jae Min, who didn't disappoint me till the end. i would rather Song I Heon speak on his behalf, so he gets a lesser sentence. then the way it ended. cause if there was anyone that really turned a new page & repented it was him. **********************************************************************************************************************really enjoyed binge watching this & i will happily rewatch.

in spite of that sh*t-eating-grin, i trust in Hong Jae Min. gut feeling but i doubt someone that cleaned-up his act & house, plans on selling out the guy that has shown him kindness, even after he bullied him for over 2 yrs. hope i aint wrong.**********************************************************************************************************************************************also happy that Song I Heon's mother has finally sobered up. but i don't get why she happily took any medication Lee Mi Kyung gave her. she knew that she was her's mans new mistress - why trust her in ur house, let alone with ur mental health. don't get the logic behind that.also if Lee Mi Kyung is just one in a long line of women the Chairman has - why she has so much power or any of his women, let alone his only son & heir?!? considering he has never even bothered to check in on his son i am scratching my head behind the logic.*******************************************************************************************************************************************Choi Myung Hyun, Se Kyung's father is despicable. if he & Lee Mi Kyung join hands OMG they could destroy anyone. scary

what a sh*t show. but as there 2 more eps to go, i guess we needed a bit of drama for it to get cleared out, by the end. still annoys me to no end that, that witch with a B, Lee Mi Kyung is still not just walking free, but causing so much trouble, or rather adding fuel to the fire. *********************************************************************************************************************************************Choi Myung Hyun, Se Kyung's father is the worse kind of adult. leave what he is doing to his son - which is bad enough, but he is happily destroying another kids life just cause he is getting in the way of his "educating" his own son. ****************************Song I Heon told Choi Se Kyung that he's not at fault & that he needs to talk to his father. sorry, but no amount of talking is gonna change that man. the one at fault is the mother that is MIA, she knows who her husband is, yet she leaves her son to a man that is obsessively, controlling & he might not be physically abusive, but he for sure is mentally messing up his child. & if he keeps it up sooner or later Se Kyung will snap & do what he almost did at the end of the previous ep. *******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: said this before & will say this again. Kim Deuk Pal is acting his gangster self with everyone - which is great in handling the bad-guys & bullies. but when he switches back with OG Song I Heon, then what?!? Song I Heon is still his meek old self that can't stand-up for himself - then what?!? & even if he is a spectator to how Kim Deuk Pal is living his life, that doesn't mean he is changing & growing into him.

had a feeling Choi Se Kyung's father was gonna be bad-er news for Kim Deuk Pal, then the gangsters. & from what we have seen until now i got overbearing, not physically abusive. but i guess we will see that in the next ep. *******************************************************************************************************************************************either way this fun & funny.... just wish Lee Mi Kyung wasn't so evasive. how is she the chairman's secretary & no one knows where she's at. really weird.

i know Hong Jae Min is a shameless bully, but he is kinda cute & funny. but after abusing Song I Heon for over 2 yrs - one moment where he acts normal, doesn't wipe out their past history or the sh*t he did & still Choi Se Kyung's not growing on me. why he keep quite about Hong Jae Min until he confronted him on the balcony?!? what was he waiting for???***********************************************************************************************************************************************also i get Choi Se Kyung's father checking up on the people / friend's close to his son - especially after his son comes back home beaten. but why do i have a feeling he's gonna make Song I Heon's life worse?!??

still don't like Choi Se Kyung any better & Kim Deuk Pal always giving him the benefit of the doubt cause he sees him as a young kid is annoying to me. cause whatever he did to Song I Heon, his adding to his misery pushed him over the edge & if this was real life Song I Heon would be 6 feet under, literally. there would be no soul swap, with cute, funny, heart warming moments - with a redemption arc. **********************************************************************************************idk if Kim Deuk Pal knows what he is going on about, he is so sure that the sec he fixes everything that is wrong in Song I Heon's life, he will be back. maybe that is what the writer intends, idk... but then when he comes face to face with his gangster chorine's, then what happens when his soul moves on & Song I Heon is left facing them? ***********************************************************************************************************************************************the mother - must say in the previous ep she needed a good slap. grown ass woman taking out her anger on her child. was he the one that told her to open her legs, for an old fart that was married?? did he tell her "keep me", when she found out she was pregnant?!? where (am sure) she was already happily living like the kept woman of the rich, married man. but then it didn't bother her??? why???? then she was happy to put her life on hold, to sit around waiting for her sugar daddy?!??but the sec he lost interest in her & raising a baby/child was not entreating or titillating enough, she turns to drink & abuse of said child?!? & i gotta feel sorry for her, cause she the "mother"?!? plz **************************************************************ep 3 & what i see in every ep is the long list of people that put Song I Heon on that bridge. beyond sad!

this is fun & also sad - weird one sec i am laughing my ass off & the next i am infuriated at the injustice of it all. but have to say for someone that keeps saying that he is just gonna make Song I Heon life better, before he leaves. him telling the world - or rather all the bad-guys that he is Kim Deuk Pal. just endangers Song I Heon more. as he isn't Kim Deuk Pal - so when he gets back (if that even possible) his personality is the complete opposite, even if his body will be a fighting machine he wont know how to use it - ********************************************************************************************************************************************* also did the bullies target Song I Heon from the start cause of that b*tch Lee Mi Kyung, if so i really wish Kim Deuk Pal stepped on her & not just the sunglasses. *****************************************************************************************************************************************about Choi Se Kyung, i don't like him. the fact he is being abused is neither here nor there. i don't like how he i acting towards Song I Heon. there was a sec there that i thought he had a crush on Song I Heon & that was his secret (that he's gay) but now i don't know. will have to wait & see. but for now i don't trust or like him & wish Kim Deuk Pal would be this forgiving towards his actions just cause he sees him as a kid.

this was cute, reading the description this reminded me of the movie: The Dude in Me, which i loved. this kinda along the same lines, but not identical. here given the fact Kim Deuk Pal's body has been cremated i doubt he is getting back into his body. so that a bit sad, that the kid - Song I Heon passed away in despair & sadness, never getting a 2nd chance at a better life.*******************************************************************************************************************************************also like that this is a bit more realistic, as after a month or 2 of training Song I Heon turning into a adult that's been living a rough life, that has turned him hard mentally & physically, was a bit of a reach. so this was cute. even though who doesn't love seeing bullies get their asses handed too them. *****************************************************************************************************************************************btw poor Song I Heon he being neglected at home & also abused verbally by that secretary, his "father" is disgusting for neglecting his only son. & leaving them for her to manipulate & abuse just cause she got power - a direct result of his neglect. no wonder Song I Heon didn't have anyone to turn too & did what he did. kinda heart breaking when u think about it.

what an insecure, petty little man. here the Queen is always putting him before herself, even jumping in front of him when there is danger. she used her family, endangering their safety to put him on the throne & his 1st move, after finally achieving his goal is to humiliate her not once, but twice by again taking a maidservant that serves her closely. *********************************idk what she can do to get back at him, without endangering herself/her position. but i know that he will go for her family 1st, as they - her power. she is a very smart woman & i can't wait to see how she asserts dominance, not just over her b*tch of a husband, but over the rest of the court. **********************************************************************************************************************************************Yeong Sil seems like a pushover that won't cause too much trouble (even though with Gyoha Daek Yeong Sil's relative) u never know. but Chae Ryeong is conniving & am 90% sure she knew exactly what she was doing & got what she wanted. so she will be one that will do anything to dethrone the Queen. ********************************************************************************************************************************************this a really good 1st ep - already hooked. wont say i didn't miss a lot of the ascensions and abdications let alone all the other additional info that was getting pushed, when i was trying to focus on the dialogue. but the main plot was clear, the rest will come with time & reading the comment section lol

seriously what a way to end a drama, guess they were always planning a 2nd season, so get why all the lose ends & yet not satisfying at all. *****************************************************************************************************************the fact the rat is alive & kicking - infuriating! same with So Yi - she cares so much for Seo Yul, but just gave him the medication, what happens when it's over? why not tell him, u got a blood-sucking-worm in u - but nah....***********************************************************************************************************************************************& sorry but i don't give a sh*t about Park Dang Gu & Jin Cho Yeon, so having to sit through their mindless love plot was headache inducing. i so hope they go on a long honeymoon in the 2nd season. alas that wont be the case, as Mu Deok murdered her father & all that crap - ugh!********************************************************************************************************************************************also bummer the Crown Prince couldn't hold out & had to turn moronic, but i get he was motivated more out of jealousy & the fantasy that if the rat "takes care" of Jang Uk, he could have Mu Deok. jokes on him - wonder how he is feeling now seeing what has unfolded. & if he still believes anything coming out of the rats mouth, then he is beyond stupid / redemption.********************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i know that in the 2nd season the main FL is Naksu / Cho Yeong & not Mu Deok / Jin Bu Yeon - which personally i think is a pity. i guess one can spin it as Jang Uk is in-love with Naksu & not Mu Deok. but i will miss Jung So Min as i love her acting.

well am glad Jang Gang that came clean (even if it was Master Lee's request) he did the right thing.but i doubt he is Jin Bu Yeon's biological father, it didn't seem so when Jin Ho Kyung was begging Jang Gang to save her unborn child. if he was the father, she would've made the plea more personal, so Jin Woo Tak was wrong about his assumptions. also if i am wrong, it would make Jang Uk & Mu Deok ending up together kinda gross, as they would be blood siblings.***********************************************************************************************************************************************about the Crown prince, i wanna believe it is a mislead (as he does have a crush on Mu Deok) but personally the sec he stepped (alone) into the secret room, was worried that if he attacked the rat in any way, Jin Mu could use the alchemy of the souls to shift his soul into the Crown princes body & then kill him, when he moved into Jin Mu's body. then no more problem. at least this way he is buying time - i hope. as i have grown to like the crown prince & don't want him turning evil, at the end. *********************************************************************************************************************************************side note: what happened to the girl i loved to detest, So Yi(?) & more importantly, what happened to the blood-feeder-worm that she transferred into Seo Yul?!!!!????? was it removed? will he be ok?!? one last ep, so hope all lose ends will get tied up.
