cause of their power, the heads of the 4 families…

cause of their power, the heads of the 4 families r so sure that their sh*t doesn't stink, they can't be dupes or played, can't make a mistake. & that is how we have gotten to this point. *******************************************************************************Jang Gang's sure he knows best & playing with something forbidden wouldn't backfire - yet he hurt the ones that were near & dear to him the most, then instead of sticking around & making sure they were safe he legged it, the 1st chance he got just handicapping his son. instead of making sure he wasn't vulnerable to anyone that would take advantage of his innocence & vulnerability.**********************************************************************************************************************************************Jin Ho Kyung so hell bent of finding her eldest daughter, she can't see what is before her eyes & is letting a rat borrow his way into her house quite literally. brining the destruction of everything she is, by her own hands.******************************************************************************************************************************************Park Jin no better, as an elder he should know more of the world, know that he doesn't take in & teach disciples for the fun of it. but to give guidance & help younger mages follow the right path & know how to safeguard themselves against the evils of the world. yet he only cares about the image of the place he is running. not about the students. if he did, he wouldn't treat Jang Uk as he has. ******************************************************************************************************************************************the only reason the bad-guys r getting away with murder, literally - is cause the good guys r too full of themselves, too proud to be humble enough to convers with each other, let alone speak candidly. also the one with the most power Master Lee should be there in a time where so much is going wrong & so many innocent r being hurt. yet he rather run away to train - what is the point of all that training, when the ones with the least experience will find themselves all alone in the fight?!?

All's well ...

It didn't feel THAT rushed but there're some strange turns of events. Why bother to have Hyung Ki develop a conscience about the sequel, especially if he closes the restaurant? That doesn't give Ji Woo a job in a sequel. Unless SEO Yoon persuades him to open one, and we get a weird love triangle situation? Pil Hyu is amusing, and by this point more interested in dating than the industry. That he supports SEO Yoon to sign up for a relatively low budget ( probably award worthy though) project shows his integrity. Regarding relationships, he doesn't judge, he just doesn't want anyone hurt. The reporters behave strangely, too. They seem more interested in being friends than using scoops when they have them. Ji Woo and SEO Yoon go from no dating ( well, maybe they have been after all) to sharing a bed. It's sweet. Ji Woo finally relaxes.

Sealed the deal

Wow! I didn't expect much from this mini series. But it's been getting really good those past two episodes. This one, the 5, just sealed the deal, I can't wait for the next episode. This mini-series should be consider as a pilot for a much bigger show of 8/10/12 episodes of at least 30 minutes. And an essential part of it, would be to keep the same cast. South-Korea have been launching a wave of mini-BL Kdrama. It seems like it's at least once or more per week. So they should really see those mini-BL as pilot with the final cast. They are so many treasure in the plenty of option. Well I'm getting off topic.To go back to this drama, I really like the cast, I like those subtle reaction, like they have such a strong connection in the main couple, that they don't need much movement, if that makes sense. That also go for the rest of the cast. There an ease to it, that make you focus more easily on all those little things and the dialogue a really good as well. And the soundtrack, just perfectly feating, that's said, if there is something that no other drama can beat is a Kdrama's soundtracks. So this mini is no different. ******** SPOILERS OF THE EPISODE 5 STARTS HERE ..........For the episode, I'm specifically enjoying the feeling of natural development of the characters and their's relationship. Was it petty of Han Gyeol to give back the wallet when Jeong U is obviously in a double date? Yes, it was. Did Jeong U deserved it? Yes, he did. Was he a jerk for how he act? Yes, he was. But, does that make him a bad guy? He's not at all, just stupid. Jeong U seems like a genuine nice guy who has, just, never been in a relationship. It seems like he had never questioned his sexual identity , not even once. So it's understandable that he freak out a bit. Not knowing how to act and doing dumb thing. The way Han Gyeol stayed so calm, speaking normally until the last minute of their "fight" was the absolute best way to tackle the situation. He didn't anything wrong, If Jeong U doesn't remember why should he have to give to him the wallet aside. Little question though, who put that picture in the wallet? Because I don't seem to remember seeing it happen. Like if it Jeong U himself, ok. He was drunk, he could had take it but not knowing why. But if it is Han Gyeol himself, good move here. I respect that.( If it's was shown it episode 4, please refresh my memory. )Luckily, Jeong U has a good friend or poor thing would have stayed stupid. I can't remember his name but I really like him. I enjoyed the conversation they had. The hypotheticals's questions round was nothing new but it works and was well done. That poor girl though, she is the only victim in this situation. While the other two are "fighting", she is strung along. She seems nice, and I'm pretty certain she didn't get the brushing off of Jeong U. So she's gonna be hopping and she'd probably be the one to see Jeong U and Han Gyeol kissing first. Anyway, let's just forget about her now, like most BL do. The romance is really starting now. Han Gyeol is clearly certain of his feeling for Jeong U. Just by seeing Han Gyeol's eyes watering when Jeong U ask him for dinner, it couldn't be more clear. The begging of the conversation got me worried a bit. Specially when Jeong U tells Han Gyeol that it was all a mistake. I though Han Gyeol would clap back, asking if he was the mistake. But luckily I was wrong. I was so happy that Jeong U talked about the military now. They can start with everything clear, the understanding of the time situation they're in. Again, another special mention to the great soundtrack and in conclusion, Episode 5 got me real good. Now, I have expectations for the few episodes left. Can't wait for the next Episode 6 !
