I haven’t finished this episode yet – but can someone explain why “the sophisticated lady” sits with one leg half-raised (arm resting on her knee)? When Enok met Eun Hye, I can’t help noticing they sit differently. Enok never sits like that, and I noticed Eun Hye sat like that too in previous episode.

the romantic scenes in this ep were really cute.
def. agree about JGS’s acting or lack thereof.
one of the things that i like about the gang of thieves is that contrary to the norm the good-looking guy is the one who offers most of the comic relief usually it would have fallen on the fat guy to play clumsy fool.

count me hooked! just watched it with the fantastic subs by the fantastic withS2 team.
IMO, the action scenes could be shot better. the sequences are not too fluid. especially during the fight part. but the cliffhangers at the end are great.
“Gom is kind of adorable — he’s quirky, exuberant, and yes, ever so prancey” so funny and so true! prancey! hahaha! also perky and cheery!
HGD looks really stressed out. i hope its the makeup and costume and not KJH himself. he is shining as usual. he acts down to his toes.
the king is excellent! any actor could have gotten over the top and made the character comical and one-dimensional. props to Jo Hee Bong for creeping me out. his staring down scene with Chang Whe was dramatic.
thanks again for the summaries!

Brilliant summary and the drama just gets better and better.

I am not sure why there is such an anti-HGD sentiment going on over at soompi right now after Ep 6. I still think JGS’ acting was not up to par especially during the staring contests. When the King and him stared each other down at the civil examination hall, the King won hands down, manic twitch and all. When HGD and Change We bumped into each other during the escape, KJH did not even have to twitch to win that battle. Hopefully JGS will improve. How many episodes is HGD again? 25?

But what I did like was the clever directing. The similarities between how HGD & Chang We are both starting to fall for Enok. Every time she is asleep, one of them starts pondering their feelings and relationship with her, while staring wistfully at her sleeping visage. Note to Enok: Stay awake more.
