I suspect he is shy around her because he has a major crush on her and loves her books. So it's awkward and she interprets his actions as rude or uncaring. I could be wrong but end of episode 2 and his feedback on her novel gives a hint. Anyway - they would have to have a reason to keep working together so they get to know each other and for Yumi to change her mind about him. Just my educated guess. Excited to see how they manage this turnaround in 6 short episodes. Yumi is still the same - kudos to KGE maintaining her character so accurately even after so many years. She's one of my favorite actresses. So natural in her acting and beauty as well. She portrays Yumi as a quiet beauty that catches you unawares and once it grabs you, you can't look away. I totally can see why all the males leads (s1 and s2) fall head over heels for her. I hope ML is able to carry it off if he's going to convince us he is better for Yumi than Wung or Babi (acted by more seasoned actors whom I really like as well).

Just conjecture but I think ML has a major crush on her which is why he asked to be swapped out. The scene near end of e2 where it shows him with her books on his desk says I think he admires her a lot and is somewhat intimidated around her but she interprets it as being rude. Anyway - that's just my guess based on the ending of e2. I wish they did not make us wait a whole week for the next episodes.

Same here. Little sleep last night LOL so now have to power through work day but it was fun catching up with the cells - and they are still as adorable as ever in S3.

Yes it was the drama that introduced me to ZLS. Also the drama that started all the copy cat dramas of time-traveling into a novel. So it was ground breaking but also very well done.

Double standard here as men dating younger women nobody seems to bat an eye. So maybe check your own bias.

How come no one is talking about the cells? I am most excited to meet up with some new cells - hers and his - they are what make the whole drama LOL. Going to Japan in Summer, hoping the drama is popular enough there so I can pick up an actual cell figurine. Anyone know if they exist?

I agree. Looks aside, when the ML's or FL's physique is too skinny or frail especially when playing warriors or generals leading troops into battle, I have to work hard to suspend disbelief. So I totally understand the military commentary. That being said, it wasn't his physique that made me drop the drama - the overall acting and plot just didn't pull me in enough to stay the whole way. I did enjoy The Double and here as well both leads were also idol looking but the plot and acting was able to draw me in and keep me watching.

The ending was quite satisfying. Happy overall with this drama. Now...to find the next one worth watching. No decent c-dramas lately so I am watching k-dramas mostly.

I don't think this show is meant to be logical and things are written that way to drive the plot forward and keep audience in suspense. That being said, a bit of lazy writing on part of scriptwriter. Maybe it will all tie up together and make sense at the end - I am hoping anyway for points #2-4. #1 yeah I also wonder how the heck this guy makes a living long-term if his only clients are ghosts? #5 LOL kinda same as fight scenes, where the hero is surrounded by a bunch of bad guys and they take turns to attack him. It might be more "realistic" (as much as a drama about ghost clients can be) if he gets a whole bunch of cases like they show in other Korean lawyer dramas and his ghost clients have to queue up or he gets to select which ones he wants to take one. But I guess the director/writer decided to keep it stupid and simple for the audience.

I think he's just suspicious as their cases keep overlapping. I would be too if some random lawyer keeps popping up on my radar, and knows things about my cases no outsider should know about. And given his rather immoral approach to things, guess he is not going to admit to finding the body as then people will question him on how he came to know. So I don't think he was planning to frame ML but just looking out for himself.

Maybe he burns some ghost paper money LOL for payment. Now that would be a nice plot addition/twist. The ghosts pay him with paper money which he burns and it becomes real money. Although not sure if Korean death rites include burning of paper money and goods like in Chinese burial traditions to send these possessions for dead to use in afterlife.

Yes that is a plot hole but it's probably intentional because part of the comedy/suspense is in the ML not being able to control when he will be possessed so audience is kept on their toes hoping he doesn't get hurt or hurt someone (as his mother foreshadowed in her script to him in ep 5/6). But I agree a bit lazy on scriptwriter's part. I also keep wondering as I watch how the heck this guy is going to make a living as a lawyer especially as he claims to his mother he will continue to do this as a "calling". Guess it's a comedy so I just have to suspend logic (because the whole plot of ghosts and possession etc is well not logical) and just enjoy the ride. Both leads are great in their role but I would have expected no less of them given it is Esom and Yoon Seok. I also love Kim Mi Kyung - she is the ultimate ajhumma and slays in any role.

Looked like a total psychotic episode. She seems to have lost total touch with reality and now just blames everything that happens to RYC. Actress Mabel Yuan is serving it though - quite the performance.

Oh no, BLL mother...in ep. 24. I hope it is not what I think it is. She doesn't deserve such a daughter who apparently is just rotten to the core and blames everyone for her problems.

Yes finished that as well. Glad she is finding gigs. I know she has had health problems, think it was meds she took for depression that caused her to gain weight and C-drama industry favors toothpick girls so I am glad she has found a niche to shine in. She is a very good actress.

I was wondering about Climax. Will check it out. Thx for mentioning it.

Same here! Funny how I am rewatching The Double and Her Blaze at the same time. I really enjoy both as well. I also started out watching POJ first but after a few episodes, it didn't really capture my attention to make me want to keep watching. The leads are good looking, esp the ML but neither of them have that extra spark to really pull me in. I was thinking of giving that a rest and then maybe give it another try but based on your comments, I probably will pass. The are other K-dramas that are keeping me entertained.

Totally agree. The bad guys are amazing actors as well, esp Ning Li - he is chilling in being so sociopathic. I am afraid of his character and would not want to, as he said, go against someone like him. I am looking forward now to how Yuci gets back at the LiangLiang, Gramma Bai and DongChao. I hope none of her family or friends get hurt though.

I think I know why he said her picture looked like a Southeast Asian - the hair. It's wild and looks like a farmer, not a scholar. So yeah stereotyping here - he probably was not even conscious of it at the time he mentioned it. So it probably wasn't intentional. But it is unfortunate. He should have just owned it and apologized - end of story. Calling it a misunderstanding is kinda lame and disingenuous...and frankly makes it worse because now he is assuming his SEA fans are stupid as well. I am dropping Pursuit of whatever. Neither actors impress me in RL.
