Hello Monster Episode 4

silent_whispers There are definitely a lot of players here now. They're balanced out well enough here that things don't feel too crowded, while giving us a little bit more on these side characters. Or as I fondly like to think of them as "suspects". As the mystery is who and where are Min and Jun Yeong.
It's very interesting how things are being handled with Ji An boldly stating that she is Lee Hyun's stalker. And she admits to others that she's stalked people. Even stranger is how she so casually talks with her aunt about it. Debating whether she should just start up stalking Lee Hyun again. It's so creepily talked about that I don't feel total disgust with her right now. Even when her aunt reveals that Ji An stalked Lee Hyun whenever he came back to Korea. And that clearly the stalking started when they were children. WTF?
Anywho someone does not want Lee Hyun to get any information, that he's not supposed to have on Jun Yeong. It feels less smart that he would flee a crime scene rather then just be cleared. Not worthy of his intelligence. Sure it's probably going to go he solves the crime or at the very least clears himself. All that hiding suspense stuff. Though seeking Ji An's help seems a dumb move with her lack of investigate of skills. Especially since she's been demoted. (And if I was Ji An I'd turn him in as she could only get in more trouble from there. And the demotion was enough of a price to pay that she should have no debt to Lee Hyun.)
Overall this was a solid episode. The writing is still on point and is handling adding new characters well. I enjoy the slow reveal and character development. Sometimes info dumps can bog down the progression of a show. I Remember You is so well paced. Every episode is a rush!

What solid writing I Remember You has! Each new episode is even more solid with the last. It's weaving quite the tangled web. So Jun Yeong is definitely baiting Lee Hyun. Who is Yeong now? Especially since he's stating he's already in Lee Hyun's life. How long ago did he alter that tape. How is Min, Le Hyun's younger brother, tying into everything? Is that Min's art? Lee Hyun seemed to have strong suspicions that Min would be the man captured.
Which makes me think that my theory that Min may have been doing all those things and Lee Hyun was covering up seem like a possibility. Did Yeong find Min and now their in cahoots? So many questions! And all created by just the first three episodes.
That being said I already dislike how incompetent Ji An is at her job. Though in all fairness the entire unit is not good at their jobs. It's understandable that the writers want Lee Hyun to shine and for his brilliant intelligence to wow us. It just seems so annoying that this team wouldn't no some of the basics on solving a murder case. Or how to link up serial killings. I'm no cop/detective but even I know the basics.
At this point there is some romantic . . . twinges. But I wouldn't call I Remember You a romance. This is a mystery thriller! Everything about his drama has been pure perfection for me. Lee Hyun is becoming one of the most well developed male leads that I've viewed in dramas. Sadly we know little about Ji An and so far she's just a generic character. But since the show took expert steps in setting up Lee Hyun and the world he's living in I have faith that other aspects will soon be fleshed out. Especially with this latest cliffhanger.
Overall I Remember You has surpassed any expectations that I had for this show. It's currently one of my fave shows airing. And if things go right it's most likely to score a spot on my favorite dramas list.

I Hear Your Voice keeps tugging on my heartstrings. Many times in this episode I was a hairs breath away from letting my moist eyes cry me a river. But I sniffed back my tears. And fell in love with Prosecutor Seo. She's truly become a magnificent women. Sure some of her views are stubborn and cruel. But she's taken what she doesn't like about herself and made herself into a better person. She also shows that she can learn and sympathize. That cruel girl we met years ago is gone. That said I have to commend the actress Lee Da Hee playing Prosecutor Seo--no Do Yeon she's earned it--of showing an ice queen and conveying heart and conviction all at once.
Hye Sung irritates me with her inability to not relate to others. To fathom that not everyone feels and thinks like she does. And for not hearing So Ha's voice yet again. Clearing something is bothering him, but she's so busy in her own silly, shallow, thoughts that she's not paying attention. It's one of her greatest weaknesses. One that he's constantly learning a lesson from. Maybe one day it will stick. For now . . . I just except her flaw. And resist the urge to bop her head on my screen.
The cast of IHYV is amazing! Everyone is doing there part and just when you think they couldn't deliver better they do. Especially as the "end" draws near. Everyone is in play here in the episode and it works. Even if their part seems unnecessary it all fits and every character is growing and developing. Bravo! Bravo.

Everything is coming together. I even love the humor that was put into Cha's replacement.(Oh, I laughed so hard.) It was a great little treat as everything is starting to come together. It's one of my favorite parts of dramas. Normally it's awkward and things get stretched. I Hear Your Voice is crafted so well that it's all effortless.
While I've said the love triangle has been one heck of a decision from the beginning, I knew who's team I was on from the get go. Even with the writers making me fall head over heels for both men. I'm still standing by my team and I am so happy with the developments and growth of the relationship. Not to mention Hye Sung.
Ah, Hye Sung. My how she has grown! She's fearless in this episode. Her fear and doubts taking a back seat as she grows and realizes how to finally see the whole picture. Learning from everyone and realizing that she needs to grow as person. Thus creating who she wants to be. She decides whom she should love and not to doubt her choices. She's become a great Attorney, and I'm hoping we get to see more of that very soon with this case coming up. Her mother would be, no is, very proud of her.
Another solid episode. It also looks like Prosecutor Seo will finally get some more time as fate has apparently tied Hye Sung and her together. On this ending note I hope JUDGE Seo gets what's coming to him. Way to late, but I love a good just karma flip.

OK, I'm a bit of a snob about flashbacks. Very few stories ever use them right. This episode didn't do too bad. However, there were multiple flashbacks of one event and that weighed it down heavily. Some were used very well to help flesh out the situation and characters. So if I think about it they actually were very well done. It's just it nocked my enjoyment down a little bit. As I've said I am a flashback snob. There were a number of them that could have been cut down on.
Now other then those slowing bits this was a great episode. The amnesia has served it's purpose in showing that both characters do genuinely love each other. Most importantly it shows that Soo Ha still loves Hye Sung no matter what. So it was a pretty good confirmation.
This episode is bring in a lot of crazy stuff though. Hints about why Soo Ha's father may have been killed. A chance meeting by a certain prisoner that is briefly cut to and then totally dropped!! WHAT! But most importantly Prosecutor Seo gets some development. And I genuinely like her now. She may be flawed but she spent her 11 years making herself into the woman she truly wanted to be. She learned from her mistakes and became a pretty darn good Prosecutor. (Yeah, I'm looking at you Hye Sung. Looking at you.)
Overall the emotional suspense of this episode was great. It hurt a little to have those bad flashbacks peppered in cutting out some intensity from my announce. But I have a feeling most viewers won't have that problem. Anywho. The plot of this series is really tight, well thought up, and I'm enjoying how far the scope of this thing is going. While I'm nervous about that too quick scene, I have faith that the writers are going to deliver.

All right before I get into how brilliant this episode is I have to state how annoyed I was that Hye Sung has not made real progress. Despite the lessons she's learned. Man is she stubborn. Sure she changes her tune, but why did it take that long? Also, I hate how she still has to lean so heavily on others to do her job. Though I will give points for the fact that the tables turned and she had to help Soo Ha take the cap of his bottle!
This episode was chilling. Warming. And then chilling again! The emotions I went through! Man I feel like I went through some kind of meat grinder. Raw, yes total raw emotions. The way this series is acted and written is pure perfection. The characters click so well that everything hits so hard. Not only am I totally torn over the love triangle, but I am in so much love with the majority of the cast.
That said this episode ends on quite the cliffhanger. One that is taking this series somewhere . . . This episodes beginning foreshadowing haunts every second. Even as more lighter, heart warming, and humorous moments make up most of the episode. The writing here is superb. Make time to junk out on this episode and the next so that the cliffhanger doesn't sting so bad.

First off I should have said this in my review of episode 12. Soo Eun and Hyun Woo are adorable together! I love how they openly flirt with each other, and it's no secret they're interested in one another. While there characters aren't getting the back story I'd like or tons of other development. At least that's one thing I adore, they're budding romance. Well done.
Things are really starting to come into play. It's fun knowing who has what power and that there are still plenty of mysterious. So while we know which characters have dastardly plans it's still a mystery if all of the other characters are ignorant. It's a well crafted mystery here and I enjoy seeing unsuspecting characters interacting with our villains and not having a clue. And wondering how much all the unsuspecting characters don't know. The suspense.
Though I'm greatly disappointed that know one has figured out what the new pharmaceutical drugs and testing is about. Come on! Enough with the "vague" suspicions. They know, that's why they're researching it.
To be honest Blood was just supposed to be a guilty pleasure. But I think it's long ago proven it's worth. Especially in these later episodes where the writing is still strong and things aren't slowing down. The acting is fine, a lot better then some of the acting I've seen in many other popular drama titles. Goo Hye Sun may not be in a role that has much range, but I think she's good. By far not the worse. As Ji Sang's secret becomes more endanger of coming out the drama thickens! Who knows what will happen.
On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- By sniffing the air vampires can see flashes into the past. But I think what it means is he smelled the other guy in the room? Poorly done.
- A vampires hunger may have something to do with the pituitary gland. (At least from what I gather from the new drug Ri Ta found to curb the hunger.)
- Vampires may have been extinct when the first infected died, but then they came back after the bones of dead vampires were dug up and a new virus created. (Cool idea!)
-Vampires can't taste, but can still eat whatever. (That would suck.)
- Ji Sang eats a condensed blend milk and albumin. And vegetables and little carbohydrates.
- Antibodies in the blood can have a negative effect on vampires.
- Red blood cells make them go crazy, but they don't need them.
- Vampire can't get too hot, makes them feel like they have flu/painful.
- UV lights still hurt their eyes, even with Ji Sang's special pills.
- They run cold, and it's painful to have a normal temperature.
- Other vampires can sense each other by hearing dolphin like sonar waves. (Or scent?)
- Can they control animals? Or just dogs.
- Dawn and dusk sunlight burn/hurts. (Any other times?)
- Vampirism is caused by a virus. (VBT-01, Vampire Basic Type - 01)
- Super strength and speed.

Wow! What a way to end episode 6. Soo Ha contemplating taking Min's (the man who killed his father) life. And Min having doubts about what he might do to Hye Sung's mother. Both were so riveting to watch. And in the end chilling to see the results.
Topped on top of Hy Sung's choice to turn in her client(s) when she is an attorney and not a prosecutor. To be honest I figured the twins had done it for something like that. It bothers me that Hye Sung not only broke her Attorney code/law, but that she still can't ever look beyond what's put in front of her. I want so bad to see a FEMALE prosecutor or attorney that is capable. Maybe that's what Hye Sung will develop into. Clearly this is a lesson. One I hope the writers and Hye Sung take to heart. Because when you decide to become an attorney you will not always be representing the innocent. But it's still your job to do the right by your client.
As you can see I threw out an allusive 10/10 rating. Because this episode was pure magic! There are no words to describe how much I adore Soo Ha. Even if I get annoyed with the need to make Hye Sung so weak she can't even twist the cap on a water bottle . . . for reals. Hye Sung is still one of the most well developed female leads out there. While she does annoy me, she is learning. She has a personality and I can see her growing before me. NOt only that but this love triangle is killing me! Ha!

OOooo, so despite Soo Ha being exposed to the ugly truth about his first love he can't help but still be in love with her. What a touching scene. What's worse is that Cha is a pretty amazing guy. Ahhhh! I'm so torn now. Both of the love interests here are amazing.
Some of the worst things about being a lawyer/attorney (to me) would have to be guessing games as to whether or not your client is guilty. That would be so tough. Even tougher would be to know if they're innocent and they're put away. Or if they're guilty and you help them get away. What a way to take this particular case!
My gripes are that Hye Sung still doesn't do her research. She's always getting surprised. That wouldn't be so bad if I felt like she was a competent lawyer. And that scene where she couldn't open the can that had a tab! Soo Ha had to open it. I get it we want the male lead to me manly and "protect" the woman. But for dramas sake! Women can open canned goods. Maybe I wouldn't be so upset if Soo Ha wasn't so blatantly using Soo Ha to do HER job and then dump him if she finds a new protector. *shakes head*
Oh, and why would someone being hunted by a psycho not assume that anyone they loved, especially family relations, aren't in danger? Really? They are psycho murderers out to get you. Tell your mother.
Overall another fabulous episode! The mini flashbacks into Soo Ha's childhood are moving. Even though this time around not much is revealed, but it helps to emphasize how Hye Sung's current and past kindness are moving him. What I love more is the feels I Hear Your Voice gives me. I feel warm and fuzzy, and tend to have a smile on my face the majority of each episode.
Clearly the next episode is going to have to take a turn for some dark themes as Hye Sung has some challenges ahead. Both ethically and morally. Good luck girl!

Oh, I had my suspicions the instant this character popped up. Too innocent and sweet, too awesome. So I ended up falling in love with this character, and had doubts to whether they'd take said character there. Oh, but they did. Despite my suspicions I was still blown away, and even better is the way that THIS character ties in to the whole plot. Amazing writing! It pleases me beyond belief when a who can actually create characters and plots that fit, and don't just feel patchy as they try to fit it in. It's legit.
That said I'm liking who Ji Sang is starting to wonder if using VBT-01 to help humans is a good idea. Clearly the way Jae Wook is going about it is evil and immoral. However, what if the medicine that could be created could save the lost. Give those medical cases hope? I love a good moral dilemma.
Now to a lighter note the humor here was fantastic! Ri Ta getting jealous! Ji Sang and Ri Ta are a remarkably adorable couple and I like how for them this is new territory and they're just muddling about trying to figuring things out.
Even cooler is two supporting characters I love finally meet. Hyun Woo and Soo Eun! Not sure why, but I've wanted them to meet each other from the get go. So not only do I get to see Hyun Woo outside of Ji Sang's house, but he meets Soo Eun. The slow motion video of them meeting. To their adorable flirting is brilliant and I desperately want to see them as an item. Magic!
Blood is still going strong and I enjoy how solid the writing is. The way the characters are developing and connecting wonderful. Blood was supposed to be just a silly guilty pleasure. One I laugh off because of my love for vampires. But I like that the story, vampire mytho, the medicine, and characters are creating pretty solid show. There's no guilt in like this one!
On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- Vampires may have been extinct when the first infected died, but then they came back after the bones of dead vampires were dug up and a new virus created. (Cool idea!)

I cried. A few tears after my sniffling. But who'd have thought that Blood would ever create such a moment--the wedding--where I would! It totally threw me. It was a beautiful moment and what a way to showcase Ji Sang's warm heart. It also really made me so fond of Ri Ta.
To be honest I find Ri Ta and Ji Sang to be so sweet, awkward, and cute together! Especially when she backs him up over the blood samples. When they go out to eat and she comes up with 100 Q&A on vampires. (Which helped me add things to the mythos list. However, I will not be adding the bathroom part since if you eat, it has to come out!) Plus, the wedding where she made Ji Sang go up as the groom.
Speaking of! Wow, what a way to take this tear inducing moment and turn it into fear! Not to mention that cliffhanger. Blood is surprising me on all fronts. While I have a suspicion as to what the aunt and uncle's secret might be, I enjoy that the show is trying to make a complex show and still keep a strong story going. What a rush! Everything feels like just the right kind of blend for a this vampire drama. Espeically since the vampire mytho behind Blood is coming out!
On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- Vampires may have been extinct when the first infected died, but then they came back after the bones of dead vampires were dug up and a new virus created. (Cool idea!)
-Vampires can't taste, but can still eat whatever. (That would suck.)
- Ji Sang eats a condensed blend milk and albumin. And vegetables and little carbohydrates.
- Antibodies in the blood can have a negative effect on vampires.
- Red blood cells make them go crazy, but they don't need them.
- Vampire can't get too hot, makes them feel like they have flu/painful.
- UV lights still hurt their eyes, even with Ji Sang's special pills.
- They run cold, and it's painful to have a normal temperature.
- Other vampires can sense each other by hearing dolphin like sonar waves. (Or scent?)
- Can they control animals? Or just dogs.
- Dawn and dusk sunlight burn/hurts. (Any other times?)
- Vampirism is caused by a virus.
- Super strength and speed.

This was a slower episode. Despite having to say goodbye one of my favorite of the Bad Boy Gang, I shall miss is funny/dramatic faces. (Even his hair had been growing on me.) Even, despite Jay Wook making his move to instigate himself in Ji Sang's life.
Don't get me wrong, this episode does a lot of developing the story. And some very cool tie ins to how everyone is "playing the game". Even people we thought would be minor players. It also helped to really develop Ri Ta and her relationship with Ji Sang.
Overall I'm starting to crave this show like these vampires crave blood! I look forward to getting my next fix! I'm still really bumped that nothing has been done to develop Hyun Woo (Ji Sang's "brother", I hope I got the name right.)

Back to the island where we first met! Well one part of the chase is done. It's kind of sweet that only one party knows that they've already met. It makes things more humorous, and as I've said sweet. Despite my initial reaction to Ri Ta she's groan on me. Ri Ta and Ji Sang may not be burning with the heat, but they're a cute couple right now and who know by the time the show is over they may have some real chemistry. Either way I enjoy the slow build up between the too.
Part of my need for more on side characters was even answered. A flash back for Jae Wook involving an old patient helped to create some humanity. Though in the end it's clear his old mentor is right, man is delusional and trying to justify his need for power.
I enjoy the medical twist playing out where blood not only becomes Ji Sang's enemy from his need to have it. But because the pills he was taking to suppress the cravings have now made it his weakness by literally making him weak and paralyzing him.
That plus the big play by Jae Wook makes for one heck of an episode, and cliffhanger! And I have to say that despite everything that is going on I'm glad the medical relationship of vampirism being a disease, and the fact that all of the characters here are pretty much doctors, is still very much a part of the show. Medical dramas have always been a weakness of MINE. Toss vampires into the mix, and I'm a happy woman!
On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- Vampire can't get too hot. (As in normal people temp.)
- UV lights still hurt their eyes, even with Ji Sang's special pills.
- They run cold. (But why sleep on an ice bed and take ice baths? Do they heat up when left to their own devices?)
- Other vampires can sense each other by hearing dolphin like sonar waves.
- Can they control animals? Or just dogs.
- Vampirism is caused by a virus.
- Super strength and speed.

Anytime a character is working out the truth behind the vampire, you know that they are a vampire, it always thrills me. It's something about the chase. So as Ri Ta is putting the pieces together, I can't help but get this thrill! What I love even more is that Ri Ta's friend drops her real name and Ji Sang hear's it in passing. It rings a bell . . . but why should he know that name?
Yes! It's two fabulous build ups! Drama! Overall this show is awesome. It's not a brilliant piece of work, but another vampire show out of South Korea for me to love! The medical drama aspects of it sweeten the deal.
The players in the show are all interesting and I enjoy finding out what "game" there playing and as one character says it "which game the big players are playing". At this point I am craving a lot more details about certain characters such as Hyun Woo (that's Ji Sang's brother/friend?), Il Nam and a few others. However, each episode is so packed that I can't begrudge the slow reveal of information on them.

*Somehow my original review got deleted when I hit edit.*
Overall I was really disappointed that Ji Sang went after the bad guys. Part of me felt like he should have felt like he was being baited. However, my revenge hungry side can't totally agree with that. Go. Fight. Win!
Jae Wook's "games" are definitely interesting to watch. The actor is definitely creating a villainess character that I'm both drawn, and repelled by. Good job. Not to mention the faces that one guy from the Bad Boy Gang keeps tossing out as he battle Ji Sang. I'm still trying to catch his faces while watching the action scenes!
Ri Ta is becoming a bit more of a likable character here. She was funny and had pretty cute moments to intereact with Ji Sang. It looks like Ri Ta's character will be a slow build up as well as the couple. The side characters are still getting some time to intergrate into the story and that's usually a good thing, and thankfully is here.
Overall these episodes are flying by and this one is no exception! While the show is predictable and not much is a shock, it's good comfort food. It's giving drama fans everything we love about dramas, and building a solid story!
