am wondering why this is being dragged out - there is enough of unanswered questions to fill 4 more ep's & yet from the previous ep, the scenes, plot r needlessly dragged out. it would be whatever if this started out average - it didn't, it was a great drama until now. sadly the stupidity of how these last eps have been played out, is really getting annoying to stomach, taking away from all the great acting done by the mains.(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ **************************************************************also had enough of both Na Yeon & Yoon Je, until now they were fun, even great but they now just intrusive & annoying. Na Yeon is overbearing & get she regards Young Hwa as family. but that scene with the tarot-reader was necessary, why? the monks here, can't seem to help the protagonist & the tarot-reader can?!? really?!? what?!?****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Young Hwa slept at Jun Oh how many times, suddenly this time "Na Yeon will get the wrong impression.." like r u kidding me with this prudish sh*t?!? again more "filler" (╬▔皿▔)╯******************************************************************************************************************************************didn't think Han Ri Ta was the one that would kill So Ri Bu, but i guess it's fitting & ironic that she didn't have 1 but 2 aggrieved ghosts haunting her ( ˘︹˘ ) but the person i feel sorry for is Do Ha, he lived a tough life (& that's putting it mildly). when he finally fell in-love it was with someone that hated him & ended up betraying him even though she loved him (after he gave up everything for her), cause she wanted him to stop killing innocents. little wonder her karma is so bad. as she wasn't justified in ending his life just cause she wanted to put a stop to the ball she got rolling. if she indeed lived him/cared for him she could've ended her life. he would be the new lord instead of So Ri Bu & he wouldn't be in constant danger ＼（〇_ｏ）／but guess she not this selfless

must say until now i disagreed that the plot was dragged out, but this ep OMG `(*>﹏<*)′ there was a lot of crap that was illogical & annoying to watch. it's like both the mains were working on slow-mo mode ＼（〇_ｏ）／(ノへ￣、)did Min Oh really need to end up in the hospital for Do Ha / Jun Oh to realize there is someone pulling the strings?!? he himself told Min Oh that he wouldn't hurt him cause he & his brother lead a pitiful life. so he got how out of desperation he almost committed a crime. but letting him run off, without getting the info of who poisoned his mind, was stupid to say the least. or him being that aware that Lawyer Ko was in danger (without seeing the flowerpot being thrown) & he couldn't reach the roof in time to catch who threw it?? while Seok /So Ri Bu standing there posturing & giving a freakin monolog?!? plz******************************************************************************************************************************************Young Hwa's another one. i get she needs answers, but after Do Ha / Jun Oh telling her that she was in danger & to stay at home. here she's roaming the streets ( ˘︹˘ )*****************************************************************************************************************************************btw still don't get how Do Ha killing Young Hwa is gonna end the curse. unless it ends it for him alone. i think it would be more logical, her finally surviving past her 30th B-day, maybe that would do it for her. but maybe they just need to exorcize that MOFO So Ri Bu. maybe then they would be free. dude a psychopath, he blood thirsty for Do Ha just cause he isn't his son. or cause he hates the emperor so much. either way it's not like the dude was married & had other children, that got pushed to the side cause of Do Ha. but as already mentioned found it very weird that the emperor would give his only son to a brother he himself dislikes. maybe am wrong but time will tell ╯︿╰

idk how anyone's saying "this dragging" how?!? what?!? where?!? how the plot being dragged, really don't get some peoples POV ＼（〇_ｏ）／ like saw someone commenting on how bad of an actor Kim Young Dae is & i'm like huh ผ(•̀_•́ผ) what?!? this the 1st drama i have seen both leads in & am totally enjoying this, let alone appreciating how good they r portraying both the character's, they playing - oh well...*****************************************************************************************************************************************also have to say as much as am enjoying Yoon Je (Jun Oh’s manage) & Na Yeon (Young Hwa's roommate), was even happy they ended up together. this ep they annoyed me. 1st off no matter who Yoon Je's dating, he can't divulge personal info on the client he is managing. & if that's not enough, get & even appreciate how protective Na Yeon is of Young Hwa (considering she not got family) so love how they like sisters. but this time around she was intrusive & overbearing. let alone didn't like how she flipped on Jun Oh (her idol), her go to, to exposé him is a d*ck move IMHO*****************************************************************************************************************************************the fact Min Oh ready to do anything & everything to get his brother back is logical. so it isn't that farfetched to assume he would kill for his younger brother. maybe cause he is so blinded by fear, he can't see through Seok/So Ri Bu lies... which is a pity.what i don't get is why So Ri Bu needed to meet Young Hwa, what was the point of that scene? he already got the ball rolling... so why mess with her? just cause?!?*****************************************************************************************************************************************& have a feeling he doesn't want Do Ha to resolve his curse, but be stuck in limbo for eternity, suffering - that's why it's important Han Ri Ta dies - but why wait until her 30th B-day?!? ╮(╯-╰)╭ still a lot of unanswered Q's

so do Han Ri Ta incarnation's not live past 30?!? cause until now, that bit wasn't clear. i just assumed the month deadline was b.s Do Ha came up with, cause of Jun Oh's sickness, an excuse to keep Young Hwa close enough to get answers & kill her. now it seems like she's the one with a deadline & on her birthday, as she usually loses her life. *******************************************************************************************************************************************like i mentioned in the previous ep, Min Oh is desperate enough to be easily manipulated by anyone, let alone a master manipulator like So Ri Bu, cause of how much he loves his younger brother. no-one needs to psychically/mentally manipulate him, like with Koo Tae Ju. pity Young Hwa didn't spill the beans in the previous ep, when she had a chance, yeah it would be a harsh reality to face, but at least So Ri Bu couldn't use Min Oh. *********************************************************************now just left to wonder, is Min Oh the type to ignore all the good Young Hwa did, saving his sibling countless times etc... ＼（〇_ｏ）／cause he desperate to get his brother back.*****************************************************************************************************************************************also if what is turning people into grudge bearing poltergeist is getting unfairly murdered, has Koo Tae Ju turned?!?

feel bad for Min Oh cause Seok/So Ri Bu is lying to him. he's making it sound like the real Jun Oh is still alive in that body. so there was a part of me that wanted Young Hwa to tell him the truth. it would still be a mess, but at least evil f*cker Seok/So Ri Bu wouldn't get his claws into him. dude has a tendency to destroy everything he touches ( ˘︹˘ )*****************************************************************************************************************************************i kinda got why Young Hwa lost it at Do Ha, but found her speech a bit hypocritical, the only reason she was going ballistic on his ass, was cause she was self-involved/thinking only about herself. but agree that in that moment with everything being dumped on her, it was hard to think selflessly. so glad she apologized & promised to "keep dreaming". still donno if Do Ha getting his answer to the Why, will release him. but something better then nothing. ***********************************************btw talking speeches, also found Han Ri Ta's speech to a unconscious Do Ha a bit self-involved, cause the other way she could remove his "shackle's" was also by killing herself ＼（〇_ｏ）／ even though given his step-father didn't really need a reason to treat him like his "dog" he had been doing that even without having anything to hold above his head. but i guess that not an option, cause then no drama o(≧∀≦)o*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: didn't get why Do Ha has selective access to Jun Oh's memories. it was too convenient for the plot.

So Ri Bu has always been diabolical, so little wonder he continues to be a master manipulator even as a ghost. poor Lawyer Ko didn't know what hit him, literally (⊙_⊙;) *******************************************************************************************but still wondering what So Ri Bu is up too, how he go from framing Han Ri Ta, getting her beaten & wanting her dead (just to get at Do Ha) to then offering an option of marriage?!? *****************************************************************************also what happened in between Do Ha running off with Han Ri Ta, killing a soldier at that (to help her escape from his father) to then end up back & for So Ri Bu to let both off without even a mild punishment. what this evil dude up too & how it all connects is making me itch o(≧∀≦)o i need to know ASAP******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: didn't get why Jun Oh went along with the gf plot that Yi Seul been scheming at for a few ep's. why the change of heart? what i miss ＼（〇_ｏ）／*******************************************************************************************************************************************also i have to say i don't get what the grudge is & how to break it - or rather why Young Hwa is a must. or is the real "cure" Young Hwa answering Do Ha question as to why she killed him. ******************************************************************************************************************************************additional side note: that old monk is a waste of space i don't get what the point of knowing/recognizing the situation for what it is & yet not being able to give any info that would help either lead. not to mention conveniently no one know of So Ri Bu's existence

so the bracelet was the amulet & what was tying Do Ha to Han Ri Ta/Young Hwa. but he is wrong that she's the one who is holding him back. they made that pact together ＼（〇_ｏ）／ he forget that part?!? if anything he initiated it, by what he said after giving her those lotus seeds. ***************************************************************************************************but still don't get why he needs to kill her, to break the curse = his inability to move on. if anything as their bet was being present together in a 1000 yrs when the lotus seeds bloom - wasn't the moment they both heard it on the news, where he said he won, while she said she lost - was the end of the beat, breaking any ties binging them?!? if i am getting this right, that moment should've been the end. so wonder what i missed or what's yet to unfold.******************************************************************************************************************************************idk what So Ri Bu's damage is (& really not interested in watching more of the actor playing him) but why Tae Ju (Jun Oh’s rival) like putty in Seok's hands? doesn't he feel that something is off? let alone, i aint writing no "suicide note" & offering it to another, even if i didn't sign it. ********************************************************************************************************also would really appreciate it, if we get more info about how much/what powers the ghosts have. have seen that Jun Oh who was a weakling, is now super strong & agile cause of Do Ha. so So Ri Bu also got super powers? to make people mindless zombies?******************************************************************************************************************************************Yi Seul is nasty & am glad Do Ha not giving her the time of day. but she seems conniving & have a bad feeling that if anyone can hurt the mains, it will be her more then the disgusting step-father poltergeist.

so from what i gather; the emperor Do Ha's biological father gave his son for adoption to his brother. but as he doesn't seem to like him much - Why?!? didn't see a heir around (which would be sitting near him), as he would take his father's place when the time comes, so he needs to see how his father rules. so why would any father give up their son for adoption, let alone to a man he doesn't seem to like ＼（〇_ｏ）／***********************************************************************************************So Ri Bu disliking Do Ha isn't shocking, as he doesn't like his brother the emperor. but as he can't physically kill Do Ha or the emperor he's abusing the son in any way he can, endangering him in the hopes he loses his life. little wonder growing-up in this type of environment, Do Ha feels his life isn't worth living. *************************************************************************Han Ri Ta coming along, just seems like a much worthier person to lose his life too, then his adoptive father, or even the emperor for that fact.************************************************************************************************************************************************ironically or not they fall in-love & now Do Ha thinks Han Ri Ta somehow tied his soul to her & that is why he can't pass over. but how does killing her end the cycle?!? didn't get that.************************************************************************************************************************************************also am assuming Do Ha murders So Ri Bu & that is why he & Han Ri Ta were on the run, let alone why So Ri Bu is holding a grudge & wants to kill Do Ha. but as both he & Do Ha r ghosts - on the same plane as it were... why isn't Do Ha aware of this fact/his existence? weird.

1st off if someone gets run over, the last thing one should do is try to shake them. there head or neck injuries that can be fatal - just FYI.*****************************************************************************************************************************************also this complex enough without the addition of another grudge holding ghost - especially one played by Lee Kyung Young {{{(>_<)}}} but ignoring the actor. who has the prince latched onto? he been hounding Do Ha, who was haunting Han Ri Ta's reincarnations?!? weird****************************************************************************************************************************************Yi Seul is a witch, she keeps treating people like dirt & getting away with it - why? cause she go good of an actress? cause she's good looking? famous & in demeaned? connected? what? cause no matter how good looking or good or an actress u r if u aint connected or making bucket loads of cash u wont last. anyway am totally enjoying how Jun Oh/Do Ha keeps putting her in her place. of course would love it if he was ruthless considering watch a diabolical witch she is... but it is what it is*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note - so was right about the bracelet? or was the amulet with the young monk that was hiding from Jun Oh/Do Ha???

side note: when i saw the young monk on the train, was sure he's the same dude playing her father. here we got to see the father (not just a small pic) & am 99% sure am right. *****************************************************************************************************************************************also love Yoon Je (Jun Oh’s manager) dude has been funny from the start, really adds some much needed lightheartedness. hope there is more of him cause he's totally stealing the show for me.****************************************************************************************************************************************watching the start am 100% sure Han Ri Ta fell for Do Ha & yet idk why at that point she chose to kill him (maybe as they seemed to be on the run, she thought better her then someone else＼（〇_ｏ）／). also didn't get WTH was going on in Do Ha's head, why keep alive a person that tried to assassinate u, someone who has a legitimate reason. unlike someone who was hired, there's no amount of money or anything that will make them change their mind. & he not only lets her live, he then keeps her close. fostering a relationship thinking love would change her mind?!? hell of a gamble IMHO a stoopid one at that (ノへ￣、)so now he got his panties in a bunch cause she betrayed the trust he put in her? or cause he thinks she lied about loving him? either am sure he's stuck cause of his anger at the betrayal, doubt she's holding him to her. so doubt his killing her will release him. *****************************************************************************************************************************************am worried the amulet he's searching for is the bracelet (we got a close-up on in the 1st ep). even though want to be wrong & want her to have a higher power watching over her. but time will tell...

was hyped for this to finish, so could start binge watching & made the mistake of reading the comments before i started... talk about party poopers o(≧∀≦)o so think this time around won't continue as i usually do. cause after watching the 1st ep am totally in.*****************************************************************************************************************************************this was fun, didn't go as i accepted considering the description. but all in all an interesting plot & character's that am looking forward to how they will develop.*****************************************************************************************************************************************Han Jun Oh is the typical spoilt brat that gets away with murder, cause there is an enabler around that has made him this way. case in point Han Min Oh the over protective, over indulgent older brother that is also his manager(ノへ￣、). little wonder he is the way he is? he for sure knows how to work hard when he wants to, like with that b*tch of a gf (ex gf). he not stupid, but so smitten he was letting her walk all over him, which he usually doesn't enable - so "celebs with sh*tty attitudes aside" HJO's problem is his enabling older brother. ***********************************************************************************************Do Ha was harder to read, i get that he is the aggrieved, grudge holding murdered husband that has attached himself to his killer wife's soul. but until the last moment he didn't realize why she did what she did, who she was?!? given the time period he was from shouldn't "An eye for an eye" be the modus operandi then?!? ＼（〇_ｏ）／ but i guess when ur holding a grudge, logic won't register (≧∇≦)ﾉ*****************************************************************************************************************************************the monk was the only bit that made me raise my eyebrow, like if he's running scared & avoiding ghosts, who can one turn to when possessed?!? weird -

1st off found it ironic that even now, there people bad-mouthing Shimizu. what she do in this ep that got under their skin is beyond me. if anything was curious about her offering to play badminton with her boss. she not worried that he would (again) develop feelings & start hounding her? or maybe after her main option fell-through, she's open to chance it with a man that want's her. ***************************************************************************************************************************either way, she was far from the diabolical FL that tries to get in-between the mains, that others in the comment section made her out to be.****************************************************************************************************************************************the rest was meeh - sadly was right & as i thought (at the start) this was a bit toxic. Miki until the very end played the passive a$$ that just stood around waiting for Ichijou to not only make the 1st move but all the moves until the very last moment. the fact that at the end he was ready to adopted Ichijou's method of liberation is neither here nor there. but as this the end, whatever...****************************************************************************************************************************************this was ok for a 1 off, it was slow paced but not boring & i would've loved if the plot or rather Miki's character had some growth. so he could be a bit worthy of Ichijou. which didn't happen & never will IMHO so personally don't want or need a 2nd season. also this a BL even if it aint erotic & we don't get any intimacy scenes, this far from a Bromance as some said.

from the start of this Ichijou always finds ways to make me cringe, so nothing new in this ep o(≧∀≦)o(≧∇≦)ﾉ but Liu Hao Shan is a sweetheart, to come running all the way to clear up the misunderstanding he created. heck at least there's one character here that got the bulls by the horns & strikes when the iron is hot, instead of some i can mention - that keep mute when they should talk, let alone run away at the slightest sign of an awkward conversation/interaction`(*>﹏<*)′ & yes i am talking about Miki(!) his passiveness is rubbing me the wrong way. *******************************************************************************an ep from the end & i have yet to think for a sec, that he's deserving of the naïve bighearted, goofball that is Ichijou ＼（〇_ｏ）／******************************************************************************************************************************************am glad Ichijou ended things with Shimizu in a good way. sadly she was infatuated with him & her sudden offer wasn't an out of the blue thing. *****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: that conversation at the end was weird, yeah eating naked is no biggy, but am 100% sure that Miki's not gonna disrobe. just the scene of Ichijou sitting there nude, while Miki fully clothed - yeah that is totally weird Ψ(￣∀￣)Ψ

idk if Miki is really this stupid or just not aware of how his mixed signals, let alone flat out rejection has borne fruit, he's say's he & Ichijou didn't understand each other, is an out & out lie. he has made it clear to Ichijou that even though he kissed him, he isn't interested in exploring a romantic relationship with him. there No confusion in the message he has delivered time & again. Ichijou is doing what he wants giving him space & keeping it platonic. i for one Don't feel sorry for Miki. all the advise Liu Hao Shan keeps giving him, goes in through one ear & out the other. even at the end when they finally communicated, anytime Ichijou was about to say something that would clear the misunderstanding Miki shut-him-down complicating the misunderstanding even more (ノへ￣、)*****************************************************************************************************************************************the one i feel bad for is Ichijou, dude really is a good-guy in every sense of the word & until now his actions might have stemmed from naiveté, confusion even uncertainty but never malice. the last thing he needed was someone gaslighting him just cause of their personal hang-ups/trauma ＼（〇_ｏ）／ but he was doing bad using Shimizu. that's why (even though i hate psychical violence) IMHO she was kinda justified.*****************************************************************************************************************************************regarding Shimizu idk if i feel sorry, but i feel for her. she cares for Ichijou but also knows deep down that he's interested in another. still she's hoping she has enough to offer, that he will notice her & forget the other. sadly that isn't how life works. this not a healthy way the start a relationship, cause even if works out with Ichijou she will always wonder if there is regret in his heart & if he's truly hers.

didn't bother to read the comments, but can guess how much Shimizu was disparaged. again i say, the only one to blame is Miki, he got this mess of a ball rolling. ************************************************************************************************he keeps pushing Ichijo away, confusing him time & again, let alone down right rejecting him so why he shocked that Ichijo is doing what he wants & backing off? so sorry but Shimizu not the bad-guy just cause she fell for a catch like Ichijo, she knows he has feelings for another, but is still trying - cause she gets things not working out between Ichijo & Miki. the reasons be what they may, she's trying her luck (not something i would do, but can see people trying their luck, rather then sit still & miss out on a great guy like Ichijo＼（〇_ｏ）／). ****************************************************************************************************************************************but even she understood she didn't stand a chance & that's why she put an end to things with Ichijo, when he offered she eat with him. her going to Miki was to motivate the moron to move his ass & fight for Ichijo before it was too late. but Miki's a passive moron & Shimizu the bad guy??? really???? plz*******************************************************************************************************************************************Ichijo sadly did what i was worried he would do, he is very confused about his feelings regarding Miki & Miki playing hot & cold is further confusing him. as he decide (in this ep) to back off, the safest way to not go back on his word was by getting into a relationship with someone else. so he won't fixate on someone that doesn't want his advances - thus we get the end we got. sadly the one who is gonna end up hurt, is Shimizu. who i guess has been crushing on Ichijo for a while. oh well, this whole plot is a bit unhealthy if realistic....
