Interesting turn of events, but no emotional connect. Well I don't even have much to say. I find myself falling into boredom again with this episode.

A good ending for Hana and Ebato. I like that maybe there's a chance they could become friends.
"That night . . . Mugi didn't come."
Ooops. I think Mugi is realizing that Akane is totally messed up and that he's pretty freaking crazy for loving her. That boy falls further into the mire.
At least Hana didn't go off the deep end. In fact, I think her revelation was pretty spot on. So there is that. Yeah.
I'm very curious how things will end up. Though the guy that likes Ebato is her cousin? I don't think that's considered "normal" in Japan right? Guess the writer had to add an extra forbidden twist.

Crazy complex. Wow, so now Ebato has some guy you likes her. That feels really tacked on. However, everything else felt spot on.
I like how messed up Mugi and Hana are that they know they like each other. However, Mugi confesses and can't get over his love despite his decision. Yet Hana can't confess but really deep down wants to move on with Mugi.
Big Brother handled it just like I thought he would, perfect. Akane also handled it just like I thought she would. Which leads me to being super disappointed in Mugi!
"I gave it with all my love. I will no longer run away."
Makes me wonder what is going to happen with Hanna. She could totally go off the deep end. Vengeance and mental breaks and all.
Despite this episode finally moving things along and I still found it slow and disconnected. Maybe it's the show losing it's shine as I feel it trying to wrap up.

Strong Girl Bong Soon Episode 11

The glamour shots are strong with this one. I totally forgot that Bong Soon slow motions her guys and has magical happy rays coming off them when she's crushing. The whole thing about her being shy hand holding at the library seemed odd after the whole going around town holding hands. Hmmmmm. I do like how Min Hyeok likes her and keeps confessing. Even liking her idea of the girl rescuing the lonely prince. Props. Even if it is heavy handed I enjoy the open message of female empowerment.
The Romeo and Juliet thing was so odd at first, but it really has turned into such a great story telling tool. This episodes Romeo and Juliet scene was hilarious! The hair biting!! "Are families really are enemies!"
Isn't how it always is with a drama. The girl has know men and then she suddenly has tons. Ha-ha. Poor Gook Du wasn't lying about timing.
Another series joke came to full fruition here. The poop whine. Loved the disclaimer! Ha-ha. Not to mention that Baek Tak found enlightenment through poop. Now the joke continues as the punk kids have the poop wine. What will happen next?
That said this episode felt pretty dull. The glamour shots were just too much. While I find the doppelganger gay guy funny, it got old fast as well. Poor guy, I still got plenty chuckles over Bong Soon terrorizing him.
In the end I feel like this was a decline in plot. It was obvious and quite predictable. At least the couple is together and I hope to see things develop. This was a lot of cute things about them finally coming together. I want more!

Wrapped it up all nice and good. I loved who ended up married and with a kid. Woman power, she got what she wanted.
What I liked most was seeing Asuka's parents contiunue together with the children all grown up.
Overall though this was an okay series with an okay ending. It didn't have the fun steam from the start of the series, but at least it gave me a Happy Ending.

The Liar and His Lover Episode 7

An obvious episode, but the cuteness makes up for it. First from the mean teacher suddenly being warm and saying he knew So Rim would make it. To how they came up with the band name. Most importantly that So Rim and Han Kyeol made up so easily. Leading to such cute romantic moments. (Though the crotch kick was hilarious and sad.)
Oh, and I love how the good teacher and students were rejoicing!
Actress Park Ji Young has a knack for playing wickedly mean female leads. She makes a great villain as the CEO (she doesn't even have a name yet!). As usual. She needs to control everything . . . yet her father is very right. I'm curious how Jin Hyuk will best her and bring his artists to victory.
Oh, and Yoo Na isn't just a reflection on the cruelty of aging female celebrities. Nope apparently an echo of other power woman trying to take each other out. CEO is deliberately taking down to her and purposefully killing her career. Why?
The most real part of this episode were Chan Yeong's comments about being on stage with his band and audience, but only being ever alone. His story of never being truly accepted by the other members of Crude Play is cruel. Though he should realize that they feel threatened by him because he has solid talent.
I also believe this brings to light the reality of session musicians. The real talent who aren't given the chance or attention to be the real talent. This has always been something I've never liked about the music industry. Especially since everything can just be auto tuned and corrected. (I love Katy Perry, but the woman can't sing.)
The promise of three years seems wrong to me as Chan Yeong simply wants to get back at Han Kyeol. Nothing annoys me more than guys out to have pissing contest with the other guy, compromising the female lead. So Rim has to be questioning some of Chan Yeong's actions right? Or is she that sympathetic and fans struck?

Huh, I found this episode really boring. Though I am relieved it is all out in the open! Yeah! It could be I had an issue with no one talking to the other person they like. Han Kyeol can easily tell everyone what he should say to So Rim. So Rim states that Han Kyeol had his reasons. Yet then doesn't let he explain, and then gets ticked off about the inspiration for the song. That seemed way out there.
Overall both leads have become unlikable.
My favorite part of this episode is So Rim's crazy laughter as she graffiti the poster of K. Ha-ha.
Overall it's setting things up nicely and I like the Han Kyeol admits that things were real and that he has changed a lot. Now he's pursuing her. Oh, and second lead keeps becoming more of a jerk.

Yeah, all the guys in this drama are jerks. The only one who is decent is Gyoo Seon. May he get a girl who is nice. Gyoo Seon mean streak really hits. I do feel for him with the whole "stand in for a prodigy thing." Yet all of his actions here seem to be solely based on trying to one up and bring down Han Kyeol. Yes, he fell for So Rim's voice. HOWEVER, he became disturbingly obsessed with her and the idea after he found out about how So Rim is connected to Han Kyeol.
I'm actually happy that the lying will be revealed soon. That's a relief. Especially as Han Kyeol mean personality only comes out more when he's trying to cover up his lies. I like that So Rim was so ready to forgive him, sometimes it can be tiring when characters think the worst of others. Though I feel that Han Kyeol's personality isn't going to handle it right.
I love the Crude Play members! Especially when they're surrounding So Rim when they know they truth! Ha-ah. They're so curious about here. (Looks like her stage fright is still there, hope it gets resolved. I never like that kind of plot device in music themed stories.)
The cough was also a bit suspicious and I hope they don't give So Rim some kind of illness on top as well.
I love the message of mom means music for So Rim. It's interesting discovering what music means to each character. Cold calculations and money, hard work, or simply love.

It's odd being on the 1 male leads side, but thinking he deserves a little punishment. After all, despite all his lies and rudeness everyone tries to accommodate him and help him get what he really wants. Even though he treated Jin Hyuk crappy all the time the guy knows what Han Kyeol is really looking forward and offers it to him. Han Kyeol simple gets pissy and pouts like a child. Not even listening to the song and lying. Han Kyeol has serious issues with lying. He says rude on true things and then just leaves them to fester.
Oh, and that girl targeted So Rim's friend fast. Wow, there's trouble brewing.
I like that So Rim realizes that Han Kyeol is different from her imagined idea, but likes him as she gets to know the real him. Even as she realizes he lies to her and keeps doing it. Even hurting her.
It's odd, but I feel like Han Kyeol needs a hefty dose of humble pie. I actually want Chan Yeong to win and get the producer gig. Han Kyeol doesn't deserve it at this point. *shrugs*

Ugh. Don't decide for her! I hate it when they man takes all the decisions into his own hands. Also, I really hope that Japan isn't like that for rumors affecting stars so swiftly and horribly. That's stupid, though I fear it might actually be true!
Oh, I'm happy we still got some pretty cute moments though. Such as that sleeping position! Too cute. Not to mention to see how cool and trusting her parents actually were with the whole thing.
That ending was horrible though! Lame! "We should . . . break up!" One little burn and he gives up. No. Fight. Win!

Timing!
Gook Du has a point. Their timing is always off. With that hospital anticipation kiss between Bong Soon and Min Hyeok I'd have to agree. Wow. Wasted timing. ;_; For both guys. However, sadly I have to go with team Min Hyeok this round. (Some day I'll watch a drama in which Ji Soo gets to get the girl darn it!)
If you think about it the bad guy is kind of handsome. I mean he dressed up suave and fooled everyone. Not to mention his lips are something else. He keeps getting craftier and more high tech as the show goes on. It's incredible.
I love how excited the cops were for the stakeout! Though I wonder who is getting pinned with the murders?
Again Bong Soon's mom stills the show! She's all like: I've put so many people in the hospital I know how to take care of them. It's also sad to see how cold Min Hyeok's family treats him. That's why Bong Soon's family is the perfect fit for him.
Side note I love the puppy noises in this episode. Oh, and why would Gook Du go in alone? Let alone not go when he could totally snoop it out?

Drop the mic! What a fantastic flashback. Gook Tak is very much a Bad Guy. What a fabulous episode. Normally flashbacks just don't do it well. Yet the placement of this one was perfect. Showing us many characters who die in the "present" time line. Not to mention all the Easter Eggs of characters. (Such as the guy cowering under the table. I was waiting for the pee.)
This was Goo Tak's episode. Finally revealing the truth of 2 years ago. Tae Soo didn't seem that connected, but I think there might still be room to cram that in.
What I didn't see was how devious Goo Tak would be! Poor Jung Moon. Is he truly innocent? (Even if he killed all those people brainwashed I'd vote yes.) I'm truly curious to whom the "real killer" is. Not to mention what Goo Tak's reaction will be to realize what he's done. Maybe that's why he let Jung Moon out and had doubts about killing him?
Seriously one of the single best flashback episodes in dramaland. (Or in writing in general.) Not to mention we get to see how amazing Goo Tak's daughter was. Man I want vengeance! (Oh, and that poor girl getting snotted and drooled on by Goo Tak! Ha-ha! I forgot he was a dripper when he cried.)
In the end. Wow, Goo Tak: That's dirty. Way dirty.

Oh, sure. Just leave me in suspense. So finally the underused Mi Yeong is getting sometime to shine. Facing off with her boss, figuring out hard truths. Now she has all the answers and is leaving me in the dark. (Okay so I have some guesses and I could be spot on. Still! So mean!)
The idea that Jung Moon had killing blackouts has been a true mystery of the show. Especially how everyone of the Bad Guy team, except for Mi Yeong, is connected is the other. I'm very curious if in the end the Prosecutor will actually be the culprit.
At the start of this episode I was flirting with the idea that Jung Moon had an evil twin. (Just because I was thinking about the most common soap opera tropes.) But clearly I'm now firm in brain washing by the shrink. Creepy right?
"What do you want from me? Truth or blame?" - Jung Moon
I loved it when Goo Tak and Jung Moon faced off. I don't believe Goo Tak order all the hits. I think even he has doubts about Jung Moon. Hearing the other guy blame him made him want to act rashly. However, Jung Moon was never scene actually doing it. Maybe he never killed the people even? (Though if you were brainwashing someone it would make sense to make them do the deed instead of just popping up to take blame.)
I wanted some more bad buy team bonding, but I realize that at episode 8 things are going to have to move faster to wrap up nicely by 11. Yeah only 3 more left! Wowza!
With Jung Moon kidnapped and no longer with a tracking device on all bets are off! Let's hope that Goo Tak doesn't kill him when he finds him.

Everything ties into Jung Moon. Or that's what the writer is painting a picture of. Wow, did Goo Tak frame him or something? I mean Jung Moon actually had to hire a guy to stalk him to find out if he was really killing poeple.
Something really sinester is going on. Maybe Goo Tak is just as much a Bad Guy?
This was another "Tae Soo" episode. Or at least it had a good part of it centering on his old world and the people in it. Man I really didn't want that poor kid to end up like that!
The Prosecutor meeting everyone officially also felt off. Again hinting that everyone and thing is tied into Jung Moon somehow.
Also, I'm sure the killer would have been able to spot the white photo in the dark too!
On a fun note Tae Soo and his short buzz is apparently my man candy of choice for Bad Guys. Of course I appreciate them all.
I'm very curious to see where this is all going to go. I hope it wraps up in this season. Though it looks like there might actually be a season 2. So if it doesn't maybe I won't be so upset. (Though that will be an awfully big gap in-between season runs.)
I'm still really annoyed at how little of a role Mi Yeong has. I really want more. Other than that I don't have too many complaints. Oh, and poor Tae Soo. I guess it really hit home now even though he had already decided to change his ways.

Basically a bunch of messed up people found each other. Most not knowing the difference between lust or love. Not realizing you can't have someone if you never tell them about your feelings. But mainly a bunch of lusty people who don't know how to recognize love because they haven't experienced it. In short a bunch of people jumping off the deep end because they don't have enough experience in life. Some just straight up crazy. (Akane.)
I did like a lot of the imagery. Such as Hanna closing the door on part of herself as she steps out into the new world view. Not to mention Ebato leading her there. So odd.
Enter annoying anime pigtail girl. I had no idea that they existed in dramaland. Though this is a manga based drama, so I guess that can cross over. Looks like little sister pigtails may actually get in on the action instead of pining from affair so that's different.
In the end this show is a mess, with crazy characters. At times it pulls on relatable issues such as losing out on the person you love and dealing with loneliness. Now it's just entering a crazy mindset that I hope no one ever goes. Who knew the darker side of youth and exploration of lust . . . without love. Eek.
