Story has potential, screenwriter needs massive help.

The premise has promise (how can a story about a future-telling diary NOT be interesting/intense!?), but the screenwriter needs some serious help...



Maybe the manga it's based off of was like this, I don't know, but so many aspects of the chase scene and of the character's actions just make no batshit sense.



Well, it'd make sense if everyone were chickens with their head cut off, but otherwise, these characters aren't people, they're puppets the screenwriter is using to make movements across the drama. They haven't gotten any feelings out of me yet.



With a premise that appears to be super interesting, I'm really hoping it doesn't disappoint. :|

Lee Gak Loves Her

I love how this episode turned out even if the preview showed blech.



Lee Gak takes the helm here, and I appreciate how there are both advances in the mystery and our Gak-Ha love story.



Lee Gak tries to be the responsible gentleman for Bak Ha now that he is fully aware of her feelings for him. I got a heartache when he told her not to like her, no matter how you do it, it just hurts. :(



He now has two things weighing on his shoulders, one is the responsibility to solve the Princess' mystery in order for him and his men to safely get back to their time and the second is how he is becoming increasingly aware of his own feelings for Bak Ha. Lee Gak taking the sprouting lotus seed out of the aquarium and planting it on a pot is loaded with that meaning.



[Se Na and Tae Mu scenes are toned down to tolerable and finally, the cellphone clue is cracked. Se Na wanting to get married right away--why am I not surprised? Lee Gak says 'gomawo' and Se Na shakes hands with him--gee what a nice business proposal!?]



Ahh but Lee Gak cannot deny his own feelings! Even if he dares not to come close, he can't help but care for her.



The moment he ran out of that conference room to save her in burning warehouse, I knew: Lee Gak loves her. No doubt.

Too many crime-solving dramas in Japan, BUT!

There are honestly way, way, way too many detective/crime-solving dramas in Japan now. They are so cliche and there's really no point in watching. Perhaps they're trying to follow in the footsteps of American shows like CSI...But with CSI, at least each of the main characters have their own history and subplot! J-dramas are short and can't afford that, so usually Japanese detective shows suck.



J-detective drama = crimes + eccentric main character

Lather, rinse, repeat.



However, Kagi is making J-detective dramas look good. There's a theme, not just a unique main character. I took off points because Toda Erika isn't really doing anything for me so far, and I managed to figure out the case halfway through.



Regardless, a detective drama worth giving a chance to.

Ooops, back to zero!

After the photos scandel, Seung Yeon tells Woo Hyun to be in a relationship with In Young to cover the scandel after she have been forced by the wicked witch Han team leader, seriously she really become to play with my patience, i don't know what's wrong with her she's so over protective about Woo Hyun that she doesn't care if she hurt him. She's gonna make out of that bar a home for her, i never felt any little kind of sorrow torture her i wish she never understand the CEO's feelings he's so good while she's so bad Arghh i hope someone shoot her and relive us all.

So after In Young and Woo Hyun's annoucement of being in a relationship, the old jalousy feelings got back. The look on Seung Yeon's face when Woo Hyun kissed In Young in the MV awww so sad :( and the sleepless moments so cute^^

So everything between Woo Hyun and Seung Yeon was messed up even though they are deeply in love and there's also some problems with the juniors. This ep wasn't good enough exept some moments let's hope the nxt ep will be much better.
