estar Eui Ju should've told Ga U Su the real reason she wanted to stop writing, then i doubt his advice would be the same. idk why she chose to say it was cause of homework or lack of time... she's basically setting up herself for a really painful fall. & idk why she thought talking to that stuck up b*tch, mean girl would work - has that girl every been remotely friends or kind towards her or any of the other girls in that class? (other then her click & the other smart girls??) i didn't notice, if she was. if anything she was a bully & a mean girl the only times we saw anything of her. ********************************************************************so why Eui Ju think there was any point trying to approach her idk. also the transfer student girl is a bit of an airhead & she usually is so disconnected from all the other girls in that class, even the group she hangs with. but the sec the pompous ass approached & told her about Eui Ju writing a BL - why wouldn't she give Eui Ju the heads up? or say something??? am sure then Eui Ju would've been forewarned if nothing else. now i am dreading watching the next ep - which will be the mean, jealous b*tch spilling the beans & trying to destroy Eui Ju, cause Ga U Su is friendlier to her ugh - but wont lie am curious how the guys gonna react reading how they got portrayed in Eui Ju's BL lol

1st off Choi's assistant (the woman i thought was a private detective) has Kim Gi Yeong (Myeong Jin’s sons) blood on her hands, her trying to be a good Samaritan & help the father didn't help the father & destroyed the son. but she will walk away without ever being held accountable for her idiocy. *********************************************************************************regarding the rest; i have to say i don't get why Choi decided to send Alan Kim, he isn't sick & he wanted to "work" with Se Ok, with no patient to operate on - what is the point of him showing up?!? guess he didn't go cause he thinks his condition is inoperable? or he so pissed that the cop - Yang is now messing with Se Ok that he needs he needs to "clear her way" before he dies?!? so freakin weird - don't get it

Min was asking to be taken out, wonder how Choi caught on & guessing Min was ready to sell out Se Ok, cause now he had Choi. Kim Du Bong the Faction leader that Se Ok operated on in the 1st ep, told her to get rid of Min ASAP - she should've acted sooner. but Choi as per usually came to clean up her mess (even though with the dogs i agree with her, that was ruthless & uncalled for - the poor animals). still great ep - guess Choi really saw himself in Se Ok, maybe a child figure & that's why he is acting like the father & helping her so much, regardless of how ungrateful she might come off to him. he must see it as her not being mature enough & still in need of his guidance. that's why he allows her far more then he would anyone else. that's why she is still alive lol. ********************************************************************************************************************only 2 more eps to go & everything is closing in on them, wonder how this gonna end; will Se Ok operate on Choi? will she save him or will it be too late?!? will the cop catch Choi or Se Ok? will the innocent Yeong Ju survive - somehow i know Se Ok can take-care of herself & don't feel the need to worry about her, Yeong Ju on the other hand is too naïve, vulnerable & sweet/softhearted for his own good. it would be really ironic if by the end, he would be the only one that doesn't make it.

am glad the mains finally stopped beating around the bush & communicated. if u ask me the one that lost the bet was Zen, his rushing to meet Ryo the sec he contacted him, not waiting for him to come back was his admitting defeat. but Ryo is so infatuated & worried about Zen's earlier comment that they wouldn't remain friends (after the bet was over) that he couldn't see the wood for the trees. same with Zen stopping him, when they started making out cause he needed a confession where Ryo told him that he was special, that they were more then a bet & Ryo didn't hold back, but was candid about his feelings. either way, i am happy that they finally r clear about how they both feel about the other. cause it was touch & go at the start & Zen was rubbing me the wrong way - i got that cause of the bet he was on unsure ground & didn't know if Ryo returned his affection's, so he was being this indecisive in his behavior - but it was getting annoying. *******************************************but this not the end, as we still got 5 more ep's to go so guessing the guy with the bob gonna come in & rock the boat & as he is after Ryo, Zen is gonna kick up a fuss - or so i think. but i might be wrong - we will have to wait & see

wanted to love this, as was wanting to watch something not complex - but this is all over the place, the fact there so many freakin characters that i started to zone out of who was who & who was against whom... other then the main couple - who r cute in their own way. the rest r kind of a mess. the Zeemai, Zo plot was annoying - given the fact that Zo is using Zeemai cause Zo knows his looks get him the treatment of a king. so how that a romance make? especially when Zeemai is getting bullied of by Zo's fans & taken advantage off by ZO himself?? didn't like that & if that wasn't enough, we got the weird hook-up between a teen (BB) & a restaurant owner - like WTF was that?!? he took advantage off a blind drunk teen & then literally tossed him aside (like so much garbage) the morning after - this funny? cute? ******************************************************************so yeah, i am gonna bail before i waste any more time on this, was happy cause of the mains - specifically Pie - who i've seen in season 1 of Fourever You & loving his story in season 2 of Fourever You (that just started airing). the little i saw of him in the 1st ep, shows he is talented as this was his 1st drama. am happy that his 2nd project is such a success.

will start with the 2nd couple, cause i must admit the 1st couples plot is confusing - kinda... love the turnabout where Wan Zhe is the one pursuing Hamaguchi. as is i felt the unevenness between them the sec Hamaguchi admitted to his infatuation at the start. maybe cause of the wish, he was almost obsessed & blindly devoted to Wan Zhe more then he was in-love in the normal sense of the word. he worshiped him & was ready to do anything for him, even at his own exspance & the part that bugged me even more then this blind-love, was how Wan Zhe not only took Hamaguchi's feelings for granted, but how he took advantage of him & started treating him like his personal slave. maybe some found that fun or funny - me, not so much. so i like the turn about where it aint the opposite extreme, but there is a balance of them meeting in the middle. love how organic it was & how it built until the confession & then the kiss - it was really sweet & heartwarming. really enjoyed their part of the ep. *************the mains; ugh - i loved the conversation between father & son, pity Xiang Yong's wish has come true & everyone has forgotten him... even if the muscle memory / mind’s memory? - the gut feeling that something isn't right or rather like an eerie sensation of something that's supposed to be, yet isn't... persisted throughout this ep. it was bittersweet watching Xiang Yong getting used to the new normal. even though i wonder as Xiao You never existed & was made up by Wan Zhe, who doesn't even remember Xiang Yong, does this mean Xiao You gonna disappear like Xiang Yong? & when i say disappear i mean vanish, fade, evaporate, dissolve, and dematerialize into nothingness??? just me wondering ?? **************************************************side note: i don't get why we needed Hao Wei's client to pop-up & give him a panic attack in this ep? just so Xiang Yong could take him to his special place & go over the relaxation technique he came up with as a teen?!? ok i guess -

poor Tiger, i get & yet don't get his family, given his age i guess he can't cut ties not when he has no way of supporting himself - that's if they would let him go & pity that mother isn't capable of standing up to her husband. so what if ur born into the mafia, not everyone needs to join. the older son is there to take over the father's place, why not let the younger son do whatever he wants?!? heck there a lot of men in the mafia that want their kids to live normal lives & not follow in their footstep, cause they know how ruthless that world can be. here Tiger's father is a douche, cause i am sure he is the one pushing his older son to initiate the younger one, into the organization. not that that means i like the older brother any - heck if Tiger was ruthless & interested in that life, i would've wanted him to aim the gun at his older brother. then no power struggle & he would only have his father to deal with. yeah i know a bit farfetched lol but that's much i detest the older brother. ********************************what i am enjoying in this story is how organically the romance is building, u can see the progression of how they met & hwo they went from enemies to friends & now they r getting even closer. yet it isn't romantic & i love how natural it feel. also totally love Nao's family. idk what the story is with the mother's 2nd husband - but they such a warm & welcoming group, wasn't shocked that Tiger just couldn't compute on the 1st night he sat at the dinner table. given him family dynamic am sure he was shocked at what he felt & saw in Nao's house. am happy he is now part of them but sad cause i feel this escape will be short lived as that family of his aint gonna let him go. the worrying question is how & if Nao's family r gonna suffer cause they have taken Tiger in... hope not -

Min Hyeon Ju is the 1st guy both Choi & Se Ok r fantasizing about murdering, but haven't acted on.... yet - kinda hilarious. & like him am also wondering; why is Choi going to these extreme lengths to help/ keep Se Ok safe?!? is it just so she will operate on him? or is there another reason?!? hope we get answers soon. ******************************************************************btw the woman that help Choi (guess she's kind off a detective, fixer type) idk why Choi continues to employ her cause she isn't just doing her assignment's, she actively poking her nose where it isn't meant to be. like following him & seeing him get rid of Kim Myeong Jin, saving & having him put in that mental hospital - like why? cause of her stupidity his son now is lying in ICU. also if she had Kim Myeong Jin's ring how that Mental hospital manager have it on his hand?!? weird - either way Choi needs to worry about her IMO.

until that ending i was sure Se Ok got it wrong & there was something else Choi wasn't telling her, but nope he a psycho just like her & she clocked it correctly the sec he asked her is she would be ok getting rid of the body of the guy that assaulted her. wonder why he did that to that guy he called a friend, as he didn't just mess with his life (putting him into a mental institution & then going to visit & basically rub it in - what he did to him) but he also destroyed that guy's sons life & she couldn't just move on with his life & how that ended - freakin sad. **************************************************************************************but one thing is very clear Choi cares a lot for Se Ok, otherwise he wouldn't plan how to get rid of the cop that has the evidence & knows that Se Ok owns Rottweiler's, that can land her in prison. if this just cause he needs her to operate on him? maybe - a lot of questions left unanswered

i read a couple of bad reviews for this drama & the majority of others might not have been bad but they weren't rave-reviews either & i don't get it cause this is really good. great acting & the plot isn't boring so what gives?!?... ******************************anyway watching this ep am wondering why Choi Deok Hui started punishing Se Ok cause he thinks she is the bee's knees, so why did he torpedo her career?!? wish they would revel the big picture & not keep it for the end. *********************************btw after the abusive brother's body - why Choi surprised to find another body?!? i think anyone who's been around Se Ok long enough knows that she is off & after seeing her calmly burring one body in the woods who would be shocked to know that wasn't her 1st?!? & as Choi himself loves to say they both different sides of the same coin - i thought he also likes venting in a similar fashion lol - maybe not....

i get that in Korea higherups, teachers, parents etc... can physically assault those beneath them & no one will say a word. heck given the brother sister situation in this ep & how everyone in that town knew yet didn't nothing says it's fine as long as no one gets murdered. but it is crazy watching it being acted out live - this not my 1st Korean drama & wont be my last, but wont ever get used to this being acceptable in any society in this day & age. ******************************************************************get Jung Se Ok is portrayed as a psychopath or a sociopath, but regardless of what she is, she has way more self-restraint then i would've had, if Choi Deok Hui touched me once, let alone the amount of time he slapped her, then actively destroyed her future. sorry, but he would've been 6-feet-under in an unmarked grave a long ass time before he got a chance to develop any tumor in the brain or else where. & for sure wouldn't have been kneeling in the rain, seeking forgiveness - what?!? miss me with that sh*t - from where i am siting, she was wronged in more ways then one & the fact she resorts to murder, might not be the route most of us take. but i kinda get why she has chosen this way to vent. maybe a bit extreme for most, but i get it & like i said if i got slapped once - it would be enough for me to think up ways, how to bring the f*cker down. but that's me -

interesting 1st ep, wanted to watch this a while back (when it was airing) but i love binge watching shows, so waited... life got in the way & forgot about this. then recently watched The WONDERfools cause of Park Eun Bin & recalled that this was among her dramas, that i wanted to watch & as this also a short series, thought what the hell - wasn't disappointed - she is a very talented actress. *********************************************************************************************************************v got a pair on himself when he came to ask Jung Se Ok to operate on him after what he did to her & even now he is threatening her. anyone normal wouldn't poke the tiger they were trying to get to do brain surgery on them. a lot could go "wrong" & no one would would blame her. if u come for a favor that wont just save ur life but not leave u with a handicap - why the pompous attitude?? didn't get that. he also wasn't apologetic or sorry for what he did to her - regardless of if it was justified or not - not when he needed her help. & given her short fuse i am shocked he lived to walk out of that house lol - was sure he would get the treatment the nurse got.

of course they left an open ending, where the main bad-guy isn't dead ugh... as his "ending" wasn't satisfying in the least, logical that he would be back. even though am still wondering what happened to the sisters; Seok Ju Ran & Seok Ho Ran neither was dead dead, so maybe if there is a 2nd season - they will all make a comeback, time will tell. either way this was a fun drama (hilarious at times) but felt too freakin short & yet it didn't feel like anything was left unexplored. ********************************loved almost all of the character's (minus Son Gyeong Un's wife) i really don't get after how she treated him, him still loving & caring for her so much. but if u put that aside this was really really well done & a fun watch even f there were sad & depressing moments. for sure a rewatch - loved this

Yun Dong Hyeon is my MVP for this series, he is such a loveable giant. after hearing Park Jae Yeong & the other guy badmouthing his cooking & worse saying he is basically taking advantage of Park Jae Yeong, he could've turned bitter & mean - but he didn't take it out on Park Jae Yeong. hard not to love this type of character. also am happy Cho Ye Rin stood-up to her higher-ups & prevent Kang Seong Jae from being transferred to the offices mess-hall. this setting fits him better & given the chefs cooking for the officers now i doubt Kang Seong Jae would ever get a chance to cook.

this almost turned out be a depressing ep, if not for Kuji showing up, pushing Azuma to face his feelings & not bottle everything up, somehow ended up being cathartic. i got that Azuma was bottling up his feeling no matter what happened with his close friend, cause he was the adult & needed to be strong & show like he knew what was what - even when he felt scared & unsure of what was going on. but had to present that front especially before his students, specifically Takeichi - who had developed a crush on Tajimi. bitter sweet ep - just glad that even though after moving out of his father's house Kuji & Azuma kept in touch. but somehow it still feels like they two passing ships in the night that sooner or later they will part ways & given how lonely both r it kinda heart breaking if that is what happens. given how realistic this BL has been have a feeling we wouldn't get a cliché happily ever after - even though i could be wrong - which i hope i am as i need them together.
