		<description>I think the only reason why Chul Soo tried  to go back to Eun Young was his guilty feeling after seeing Ma Ri&#039;s pain in the lost of her first love.  He even told Ma Ri that  he could see that he&#039;s the missing person( like Ma Ri&#039;s first love) to Eun Young.  Ma Ri showed him the truth about  how painful to lose someone.  I believe he&#039;s not even really in love with Eun Young.  I firmly believe Chul Soo is really in love with Ma Ri as shown in some of his actions in some of the episodes.  But because he &#039;s just an ordinary man, it will be just a dream for him  to love Ma Ri because she is a superstar pursued by elite suitors.  I was so happy that he finally opened up when he passionately kissed Ma Ri.  .</description>

		<description>Ripgal@20 and Jusash@41,

Funny you say that because I never felt any sympathy for the pregnant GF in Lovers.  I got the impression that he was with her out of guilt and obligation (because of how they first met), felt trapped and she knew it but still held on to him.  Icky but I always felt that from his view, they were more like brother/sister than a couple.  (Of course, it&#039;s been a while since I saw Lovers, and usually not with 100% attention, so please correct me if I&#039;m wrong.)

In almost the same way, I get the feeling that Chul-soo is with Eun-young out of a sense of obligation.  That, and he felt that any relationship with Mari was total fantasy.  *sigh* just like my little fantasies about certain Korean actors *sigh*</description>

		<description>@ripgal #20

&gt;&gt;&gt;That very same thing happened in Lovers, with Lee Seo Jin and Kim Jung Eun’s characters. The main guy had a pregnant girlfriend (yes! pregnant!), whom he loved a lot in the beginning, but still fell in love with another woman. The girlfriend was in an even worst situation… but I never felt bad for her I don’t know why… guess the actress just failed to impress.

YES, so true. But my perspectives are kinda contrary to yours.
Star&#039;s Lover: Somehow I don&#039;t feel sorry for Eun Young. I don&#039;t get the feel Chul Soo felt anything that much for her to begin with. 
Also, when he fell for Mari in Japan (but was in denial of his feelings) - he was actually officially &#039;out&#039; of his relationship with Eun Young. (it was through Mari that he decided to start over again with Eun Young).

Chul Soo is also pretty upfront and not trying to keep Eun Young in the dark abt his growing feelings for Mari (even if he&#039;s thinking Mari is an unreachable dream) ....

While Mari is pretty proactive about constantly reaching out to Chul Soo, getting under his skin (getting any reaction at all! ^ ^), and not really considering Eun Young.

But still -&gt; I LIKE Mari! :)


Whereas in Lovers: Lee Seo Jin and his preggie gf ... I DID feel bad there.
Perhaps because they had more of a relationship going, just dulled~bored by the passing of time, the length of the relationship etc. They shared more history/seemed to have gone through more together.
And there Lee Seo Jin was pretty much the asshole about stringing them both along with Kim Jung Eun feeling guilty abt being the one coming in-between</description>

		<description>#31   Suddenly I wanna polish up my cooking skills =b

#34   I don&#039;t think Chul Soo can refuse to acknowledge the kiss now that his affection for Ma Ri has become so obvious. What&#039;s more worrying to me is how Chul Soo&#039;s going to break up with Eun Young properly. Eun Young doesn&#039;t appear to be ready to give up on Chul Soo at this point. 

P.S.  Wondering if anyone knows the song played in Episode 6 during the scene when Chul Soo rolls over and traps Ma Ri. Can&#039;t find the song in the OST. Thanks in advance!</description>
