9.0/10 - Huh. I did like this episode.

I'm as shocked as anyone that I actually liked this episode. I mean suddenly Ji Hyuk's ex has popped up. We know she existed becasue his grandfather has mentioned not being pleased about Ji Hyuk canceling the engagement. But boy did I call it. Yoo Ra is cray-cray. At first I thought it was super odd that she would show up. However. As her true pschotic possessiveness became clear . . . I realized. If she is so ticked that "what's hers" dumped her and for another woman. What would she have done in his first life . . .if he had just dumped her for seemingly no one. Maybe make it so he had a car crash and die? Yep. I think she's the key to why Ji Hyuk died in his first life. Cause no way would she take him ending things with her at all. I'm just so annoyed with Ji Won. She tossed Ji Hyuk aside so fast. And she calls it excuses? Hmmmmm. So they're not together in his first life. So he doesn't break off and arranged marriage. Not to mention that he has explained that he just went along with everything his family wanted and wasn't living. So in his first life he didn't realize how he felt about Ji Won until the funeral. And he did eventually breakup with his fiance. So in his second life he promptly breaks up with someone HE HAS NEVER LOVED because he wants to speed up the process instead of waiting. Over and over he has proven to Ji Won he loves her and is on her side. Not to mention showing that he was prepared for her to have the stomach cancer. Worked half a year to get a super amazing doctor to treat her and even made sure that the doctor kept a surgery date open always. HE HAS PROVEN HIMSELF!!!!!!*cough* I know Ji Won has emotional drama from what happened with her mom. Still. Just the fact that Hee Yeon had to explain why Ji Hyuk would never cheat was stupid. Ji Hyuk is a good person. He would never cheat. Even without his own traumatic past. Which Ji Won hasn't taken the time or care to learn. I feel like she's taking our boy for granted. It's interesting how insane Yoo Ra is. Apparently beating up other women that Ji Hyuk wasn't dating, but she felt threatened. And his grandfather knows about her insanity!!! Pretty sure Yoo Ra would probably kill Ji Hyuk because it's her company. Which makes me realize how crappy his grandfather is. Not to mention that Ji Hyuk is being spied on all the time. No wonder he was just coasting. He was probably severely depressed having to make stupid people in his family happy. Yo Ra weaponizes Min Hwan and Soo Min against Ji Won. Which led to super satisfaction in watching Soo Min realize that Ji Won had in fact one. Not to mention the trash line coming full circle!!! I didn't catch that on my own, but brilliant.It was interesting seeing Ji Won's past about her mom and that Ji Won was prepared for her mom to use her. She wanted her day, but I think she wanted to flip her mom the bird. So that made me happy. What scared me was seeing Yoo Ra take over. There's no way she didn't have a hand in Ji Hyuk's death. I'm beyond worried for Ms Kim. Because the writers have made it clear that Ms Kim sympathizes with Ji Won because her husband is so much like Min Hwan. They even had that tantrum scene outside the restaurant. The cheating. Everything!!! Holy cow. However . . . Suk Joon is watching out. So . . . maybe he will save Ms Kim. It's also emphasized that Soo Min would not take the abuse, and the way she manipulates Min Hwan and his mom is glorious. Not to mention Ji Hyuk! That ending. Ji Won he has more than proven himself! He's freaking taking death for you. Sheesh. I have to promptly start the next episode.

Wow! This episode was crazy. Going from "no you can't kiss me" to "totally in love!" and So on. I really have forgotten how much ground a K-drama episode can cover. So plenty of awesome Ji Won and Ji Hyuk moments. However, the drama is only amping up. I honestly thought that Ji Won had tipped her had too far with the whole "you're getting my trash". I thought Soo Min was totally calling of the wedding. Her pride was too much though. No way. She was winning. Ji Won was bluffing. What's scarier is the ending. So I was right. Yang Joo Ran, AKA Ms Kim depending on your translation, is the one who has gotten the stomach cancer. Which means . . . Ji Won was wrong. So she could have kicked both of them to the curb. Maybe. Also, Ji Hyuk's ex-finacee just popped up. There's something cray-cray about her. Huh . . . does he have a toxic person in his life? Oh. Best part of this episode. I think Eun Ho and Hee Yeon might get together!!!!!! They went out to eat! Here's hoping.

10/10 - Sweet baby dramas! Thank you.

Sweet baby dramas! Thank you!!! What an ending!!! I'm so happy it didn't take Ji Won long to figure things out. Yeah!!! Joy!!!! I'm convinced that Min Hwan is an idiot. But it's really that pride that doesn't let him see the danger where Soo Min is concerned. Good luck boy. Good luck. Honestly this episode was great. Ji Won handled herself so well. She also met Ji Hyuk's Grandpa. She was just fire. I see Ji Hyuk pushing her to the guy who can stay with her. Is it more than a car crash? We saw him get weak, and he's passed out. The previews hint at another weak spell coming. Does he have cancer himself? Is that why he crashed? Huh. Not to mention someone else has been clutching her stomach. I hope that person isn't getting the stomach cancer!!!!! She has a bright romance ahead of her! Onward. Give me the goods!

9.0/10 - Um. The cray-cray.

Ji Won is right: Min Hwan pride rules all. Because there's no way that he can't tell that Soo Min isn't cray-cray and that he should be running for the hills as well! Though his pride, AKA his narcissism, is clearly making him think he is still in charge. Yikes. Min Hwan may have killed Ji Won, but at least he was . . . sane. He wanted Ji Won to be a slave and to get money off her. Soo Min. That girl is on a whole level of crazy. Narcism can't even touch it! I don't know what it is. She was willing to die and kill Ji Won just to see if she'd save her. Then she hopes into bed with her friends fiance to make sure he wants to make her happy. I had wondered why Soo Min just didn't have the high school girls as her friends. They liked her. Now I do. If she had really made friends with them she couldn't have abused them the way she did Ji Won. She needed Ji Won to be her whole world, so that Ji Won could prove that Soo Min was here's or . . . I don't know. I give up! That girl is insane. And chilling. Bravo. This was a great episode. I honestly didn't see Ji Won flipping the tables so soon! I forget that with a full hour episode K-dramas can cover so much ground. Also, let's talk about the fact that Ji Hyuk is making sure his cat is cared for. I always wonder about who will love my fur babies if anything ever happens to me. Ji Hyuk is the ultimate man. No. I'm not kidding. Great ending! I was smiling and laughing so hard for Ji Won! You go girl. Warning. You'll want to watch the next episode.

10/10 - It's hard to understand.

First off! Yes!!! Cat romance revealed! So awesome! They're past history with the cat and him just giving her the pass code so she can see the cat whenever she wants! Not to mention the courage and strength it takes him to help her. To see her suffer, but to help give her a better birthday. AKA proposal.No to the true meat of this episode. Even after to realize that you have been a victim of abuse it's hard to grasp. You don't think that way. YOu wouldn't think of hurting someone like that. How could someone think of hurting you the way they just did? What is your abuser thinking? What throws you is that you may not even know the true extent of it. Until something sucker punches you. Cause the truth is you can understand that abuser to extent, but the core of the matter is you will never be able to fully understand the how and why. What makes them truly tick.So I felt for Ji Won so much. As she fully realizes that the two most important people in her life are that horrible. She knows. Heck she knows they kill. But when she fully understands the willingness that they have to fully hurt her and use her. The fact that she isn't cruel. That she would just like to move on from them. She's not a cruel person, but to avoid her fate by her abusers. They need to end up together. I loved the nuances of this episode. Top notch.

9.0/10 - "I want to be solid land."

As someone who lost their dad not to long ago, that boat analogy is right on. Especially when someone was your stability. So when Yoo Ji Hyuk said he wanted to be solid land I cried. And after coming off of seeing Yoo Ji Hyuk getting in Ji Won's dad's taxi . . . this episode was such an emotional roller coaster! Oh, goodness. I know why Ji Won wants to not be Soo Min. Soo Min who uses people, and used Ji Won. However, I hope Ji Won will discover that having true people, and true friends, is also okay. You can ask for help. Okay. I think Eun Ho and Hee Yeon would make the cutest couple!!! I'm all for it. Not to mention I think Joo Ran might have just got a love interest. Speaking of Joo Ran I see that her ex, is Ji Won's Min Hwan. Goodness! Overall this drama is just killing it. I am so emotionally invested. I'm laughing and tearing up. let a lone crying all in one go!!!

09/10 - It's BTS Army!!!

Made props for using BTS like that! Totally loved it! I had this moment where I was like wait . . . Gentleman was 2013, BTS were totally not on the radar then. K-pop land was favoring BigBang still for hitting it over seas! Anywho! Well done! Loved it!! And thank you for not making me have to waits. I love that Ji Won actually got to take up arms and when! Loved the whole Judo theme. From physically protecting herself to actually metaphorically doing it to to take down the baddies!!!!!!! So it's clear that Hee Yeon is totally aware that Soo Min is fake and not good. But I wonder if Joo Ran knows? Joo Ran was worried about Ji Won getting hurt by Min Hwan, but I wonder if she realizes how fake Soo Min is. And that she's not a good friend. Once you can take notice of those kinds of people I like to think you can spot them. Overall I loved getting to see more of Ji Hyuk's life and friends. So cool! It's nice to get even more personality. Also, I taste of the sweet, sweet revenge that Ji Won is dishing up!!!!!! Flip all those jerks my girl!!! I believe! (Also, that's why we're here!) Can't wait to see how the dynamics change. Now that both of them know . . . also. I really want Ji Won to have a cute heart on her too!

They need to know soon!

Ahhhhh. There it is. The connection from the past. It's crazy how much of a trope this is, and yet again I'm sucked right into it. Not to mention that it's kind of a romance through the kitten. And I'm assuming the kitten lived. Right? The cat that he lives with is the kitten!!!!!! LOL. I love the reactions to the male makeover. Ah, the woman gaze is strong. Even commenting at one point about his butt! I mean Min Hwan is even into Ji Hyuk's new look. Until he thinks there might be something between Ji Hyuk and Ji Won. Isn't it funny that he knows and even says what all men would do. AKA what he would do. So that's what he thinks everyone else would do. Which later gives him the right to start making the moves on Ji Won's friend. I feel bad for Eun Ho. He's so eager for Ji Won, and she "sees right through him. It's interesting that he's decided to not give on her. I can't imagine that Min Hwan never slipped in the past with Ji Won, but I guess if she was just agreeable and malleable he had no reason to hit her or put her in her place. Honestly I thought more men showing interest in Ji Won would mean that Min Hwan could not let go of what was his. Yet, he went from enjoying her makeover to suddenly freaking out that she's reapply lipstick, wearing makeup, and just acting like a normal woman. He likes her being pretty, but if it feeds into this sudden genetic temptress . . . isn't it funny. She might be blood related to an adulterer, so now he's in the clear. Even though he's been trying to cheat on Ji Won.What's more hilarious is watching the two idiot fools snare each other. I mean. Soo Min didn't here Ji Won give Min Hwan the credit card!!! It's not his money he just blown. Not to mention how they can't spot the lies both of them are spouting. I guess a fool doesn't know the other one. I am so impressed that Ji Hyuk completely confesses. So both alternative ML have confessed! Ji Won has options . Overall this was a great episode the humor is on point, but Ji Won's realizing how screwed she is. Soo Min is beyond devious able to completely copy Ji Won's handwriting. Knows all her secrets and is willing to weaponize anything and everything. Not to mention the proposal stealing. Dang!!! But I can't wait for them to both know they are allies on their second chance.

10/10 - THAT BIG REVEAL!!!

When Ji Won tossed Min Hwan's shoes out, it was so a Ghaston moment!!! Seriously!!! Also, Ji Hyuk knows something. Ji Hyuk isn't the type that would have left her be the first time around, something is up . . . . did Ji Won's dad send a message to him. Saying this is your chance to get the girl, don't let her marry that monster? Hmmmmmm. (Gosh, I love that it was her dad that gave her that second chance. Totally tearing up again!) OMG! So Ji Hyuk knows something is up. With Ji Won's boyfriend and friend. Enough so that he is getting Ji Won's first love to come to the reunion to add further proof that Soo Min is a liar. This was the makeover episode. Where our plain lead is truly the stunning lead! Makeover. This time I like why she decides to do it. She understands the shallow jerks in her life can't deal with people who look dressed up and fancy. It's sad that despite all her proof that the bullies still only want to bully her. They want apologies, but it never crosses their minds that they owe her them. In abundance! The makeover is still more about Ji Won's happiness. It makes her feel good.This plot is absolutely amazing! The characters, the acting, the visuals, and the music. This Drama is blowing me away. AND THAT BIG REVEAL!!!! Bravo. I hope this whole drama stays this good. I just, wow!!!!

9.0/10 - Pretty fabulous.

We're learning with Ji Won about the rules over her second chance. Which is a very interesting twist. I mean. I want vengeance. I want her to kick them to the curb. Though like she said, Park Min Hwan wouldn't just let her go. He's shit scum. Scum that while not in love with Ji Won she's his source. He's already draining her finically before they were ever married. Also, Park Min Hwan and Jung Soo Min deserve each other. Don't they? I'm curious how they will feed off and drain each other. Ji Hyuk is freaking awesome. There has to be more. He knows something. I wonder if he would have totaly pursued Ji Won if she hadn't quit. I mean Ji Hyuk clearly doesn't like the sexist manager jerk wad that likes to minimize everyone, especially the female employees. The jerk wad needs to be reported!!!!!! HR!!! HRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!It is interesting seeing Ji Won have her eyes wide. Seeing her other half of her soul for what she truly is. In the past she new she might be a jerk. But she was the only friend she had. I love seeing Ji Won get to connect to other people. But also to see Park Min Hwan and Jung Soo Min interact. If Ji Won had messed up the super expensive shirt that she had bought Min Hwan he would have raged. Those to meanies are meant to be, they can gaslight each other. Now on to Ji Won finally being able to see people for what they are. Now she's getting new friends and allies. She's gonna have an crew. Though i was so afraid she needs to be more careful! Cause her plan to have Park Min Hwan and Jung Soo Min both meet at her place and have a drunken encounter truly backfired. She might now realize that Park Min Hwan and Jung Soo Min are both evil, but she can't understand how people like them think. We get to see more of Soo Min. Ji Won realizes that Soo Min steals her idea and advances herself, but we get to see the dirt. That girl is willing to do anything. Seeing her manipulate that jerk manager wow . . .

10/10 - Masterful storytelling.

OMG. I cried. Oh, I cried so much. Just . . . just wow. I mean she called her "the other half of my soul" I just . . . wow. And as someone coming out of abuse it hits . . . so hard. Because it's hard to understand how other people, especially those who say they love you, can betray and hurt you. OMG. Even typing this I just . . . the tears. So yes. This was a masterful first episode. I felt the emotions. I was consumed by them. What was well done is for how heavy the first part of the episode is, we get to laugh super fast. As Kang Ji Won wakes up into her second chance. Reacting to the hugest betrayals of her life and figuring out how she can proceed. What she needs to do to avoid her fate. He-he-he!!!!!!!! Go! Fight! Win!!!! Though it pains me that she can't just kick the people to the curb and be done with them. Like with most time travel there are rules. And whatever happened to Kang Ji Won in the past it needs to still happen. Either to her or to someone else. So that means someone else needs to marry her slimey ex. Park Min Hwan. Once Ji Won's eyes are open she understands that Min Hwan may not really love her, but she sure as heck can't dump him. Human scum like him do not take no for an answer. Plus the way that the cops acted . . . ugh! And that's too much how it goes. Like Ji Won said, why does she have to be broken and bleeding for them to take her seriously. The crap women have to put up with from sexist men and the bro code. A magical alterantive is already present. Yoo Ji Hyuk our true ML. I also feel like he . . . truly likes Ji Won. Like this boy is in to her. Maybe enough that there is more to it? He's already proven to be so sweet and caring. I'm in. Girl deserves beyond better. I give made props to the last words and realization of this episode. "Marry My Husband"

8.0/10 - Awesome.

For how silly and over the top My Sweet Mobster is I wasn't expecting to plot to be this good! By the time the episode was done I was beyond invested! I love the idea of a reformed gangster running a meat company that gives convicts a second chance! It breaks my heart that people are so . . . spiteful. Everyone has made bad choices. I also love the idea of Go Eun Ha being a kid influencer. It's so cute! She's so cute. As someone who works with kids I wish I had her skills. The excons are also so freaking adorable. And our Sweet Mobster is just all kinds of sweet and adorable. I love it so much that the normal misunderstandings and other drama (winks) is actually awesome! AND that ending!!!! Love the human shield stuff. Not to mention that Seo Ji Hwan is clearly already catching feels for Go Eun Ha.

The power of friendship!!!!!!!!!! Joo Kyung and Soo Ah so great! I loved that they're friendship has grown stronger. I also love that Joo Kyung is such a beautiful person that she can't just abandon her old friends. Joo Kyung and Soo Ah come to the rescue and save the day from bullies. And now a new chapter of friendship can begin. The whole battle scene was amazing. Especially as Soo Ho bonds with his new male friends. Cho Rong stepping in to finish the fight was great. Not only that but I love the highlights of seeing Soo Ho as human. He's insecure and clingy with Joo Kyung. So clingy. Which is funny as he should feel like the more secure one. Their date and everything was just so freaking adorable!!!! This whole episode. It's rough seeing Soo Jin just destroy herself. She's offered so many outs. Friends that can't believe what she's done, but still love her and want her to choose better. It hurts. Especially as she reacts to her fathers abuse. That kind of poison is insidious. The ending of this episode. How cruel!!!! 2 years later!!!! What! And to make it look like Joo Kyung and Seo Joon are an item now!!! What!!!! Don't tell me that they're having Seo Joon carry a torch for Joo Kyung while Soo Ah deals with his dad!

8.0/10 - Awesome.

Qian Wei that boy likes you!!! Both boys like! But Lu Xun has those LOOKS! He's gonna have me wrapped around his finger if he keeps looking at her and the camera that way. Daaaaaaaaang! *cough* Okay, so I'm totally loving this drama! Especially now that the friendships are kicking in. All the past story, or alternate timeline stuff really adds layers. Especially the details to Qian Wei and Chong Wen's romance. Retrospect and all that. Seeing how something sweet, like the sticky notes, weren't so sweet, but instead a prison. So fascinating. Qian Wei has to admit. Team Lu Xun and Qian Wei have power! They're a force to be reckon with. It was so interesting seeing her still dislike him for how he treated her and how he clearly likes her. He's jealous of things other guys do for her. Makes me wonder if he would have told her about getting that information or if he would have revealed it separately to the proper authorities?Overall I'm loving the actors, stories, and the characters. I love the friends as well. Especially as Shi Yun might be having a romance with a doctor. *wiggles eyebrows*

OMG!!! Soo Ho and Seo Joon! BROOOOOOOOMANCE! It's so great seeing them be friends again! Great laughs, touching moments, and I love how they're becoming friends and their friends are too. The stuff they did to help each other at the hospital was just the beginning. Then running away from mobsters to end up in poopy. >_< I just love the character growth here. ;_; Nothing makes me happier when theirs great characters. Well great characters and a great story! My poor sweet Soo Jin is letting the poison of her dad and his actions seep into her. It just ripped my heart to shreds to see her not being herself. To watch her slip over to the dark side after she saw the kiss. I know she wanted to rush to him, and maybe in her mind that action would make him realize that she is enough. Which breaks me. Bravo to the writers. Everything that follows you get. Even as I kept trying to reach Soo Jin. Even Soo Ho said this is not his friend of over 10 years. She's a stranger right now. This episode was intense. So many great things. Joo Kyung is a true beauty. Because she went back to help someone who abandoned her in the past. Joo Kyung is too good of a person to leave someone to suffer. That's why it hurt watching Soo Jin not save someone and instead not only let another suffer, but then actively seek to make another suffer. Joo Kyung is a beauty inside and out. Honestly makeup is to enhance. Joo Kyung is a beauty. Acne is acne. I'm still a bit sad how big of a deal it is. It was so hard to accept that Soo Jin did it. She let those pictures of Joo Kyung out and the bully video is out. I hate that we see Soo Ah kind of abandon her. It might be shock. But I can't believe any of her fellow classmates can't feel for her after watching the video of her getting bullied. I'm so nervous about what is going to happen next! Not to mention when Joo Kyung's family is gonna find out about everything. Also, I don't want this to mess with Joo Kyung's dream. She just started her schooling and she was soooooooo happy!
