		<description>I started this drama as a side project to my anticipated obsession with East of Eden and Beetoven&#039;s Virus, but I find myself forgoing both to continue with this drama.  It is so good.

I laughed for five minutes when the boys covered there eyes and Hee&#039;s kissing, it was so funny to see supposedly grown men react that way.  Young SU hit it right on the nail, she is like a sister to them and they reacted like any borther would seeing theier sister make-out with some guy.

Also, the scene with Hee&#039; yelling at Eun Jae,  I agree with both creidesca and thunderbolt.  I think this &quot;betrayal&quot; was a culmination for her that this upstart spoilt rich girl would turn her life around and make her come face to face with the reality that she could possibly be all alone forever.  Plus I think she relates to Eun Jae&#039;s lonliness and isolation because of her experiences when she would see the ghosts.

Anyway I am excited for the remaining episodes.</description>

		<description>Great episode...found myself tearing up on several occasions.   Wasn&#039;t sure when I started this drama whether I&#039;d stick with it or not.  Well, now I know better.  I LOVE THIS!</description>

		<description>Haha, a little bit late, but the main actresses were truly amazing this episode! Hee-kyung made me cry T_T. And when Mu-Yeol was beating up Min Chul, I became all teary T.T. And I had serious doubts about Eun-jae (so far, she strikes me as the most cold and unlikeable) because she seemed so awfully wooden in her performance (its part character...but does aloof/distant necassarily have to mean wooden?) but I think she did prove that she can act here.</description>

		<description>That was one heck of a summary! I love the ending skit, Mu-yeol&#039;s face is just too much!! *rolling on the floor laughing* I&#039;ve never seen a set of more amusing characters... Poor Hee Kyung, that really is too bad of Min Chul... But you shouldn&#039;t forsake friendship just for a guy... The character developments in this story has increased by a two-fold! For the girls at least... Mu Yeol and Yong Su still seem to be a pair of bumbling but lovable iddies that they are...</description>

		<description>Hee Kyung&#039;s status within the group was threatened from the moment Mu Yeol carried the unconscious Eun Jae into the agency.  Do you remember the camera focusing on her reaction when she saw how enthralled Mu Yeol was? Though it might seem like Hee Kyung was chiding Mu Yeol for his naivetivity, that was her response to realizing that other women will come into the guys&#039; lifes.  And the guys certainly got a taste of this when they saw Hee Kyung with a guy who weren&#039;t either of them.

Eun Jae, as geekgal mentioned, hasn&#039;t given much of herself to the gang. And with the certain turn of events at the end of EP 12, it will definitely be much more difficult...

Also, anyone think there has got to be something up with Kang Mo&#039;s mom? She&#039;s not in many scenes, but she is there.</description>

		<description>Yes, thundie, I agree. I think Hee-kyung used Eun-jae as her punching bag and let out her unfair jealously towards her, but the big hurt was the idea that her romance wasn&#039;t real and that her friends somehow doubted her. I felt sooo terrible for her when Min-chul broke up with her. I loved it when Mu-yeol goes after him because it confirmed the emotional ties that the original 3 have for each other. I liked this episode because it had a bit of seriousness and is a nice balance to the comedy. SZA, I am reminded of Lee Byung Heon too!</description>

		<description>Like geekgal (#2), I can understand Hee-kyung&#039;s hurt and anger too.  I don&#039;t take her tirade at face value; I believe she would have lashed out similarly at Yong-su and Mu-yeol if Eun-jae wasn&#039;t there.  

What seemed to be the main issue here (and this is all unspoken) is the implication that Mysterious Handsome Stranger wasn&#039;t what she thought he was and therefore her hopefulness about their budding relationship (he did kiss her and it wasn&#039;t just a peck either) was totally misplaced.  The whole thing was a farce.  He was using her, stringing her along, making her feel stupid and cheap.  

The secondary issue was that the two guys had tailed her:

You&#039;ve known me for four years, haven&#039;t you? 
And you tail me after listening to the words of this girl 
whom you barely knew for two months? 
You bastards! 
What am I doing here bringing all these good food? 
I&#039;m so stupid! I&#039;ve wasted my life!
(credit: WITH S2&#039;s subtitles)

I don&#039;t believe that stream of vitriol reflected what Hee-kyung really felt about Eun-jae.  Sure, she envied Eun-jae for being richer, younger, more beautiful but at that moment she really was more hurt (and overwhelmed) by the possibility that Baek Min-chul was using her to get the map.  And because Eun-jae was the one who planted the idea of that possibility and was so dang collected about it (not realizing the emotional impact on Hee-kyung), she became the target of the tongue-lashing.

Both Hee-kyung and Eun-jae were awesome in this episode.</description>
