Riveting episode. I was glad to see the Dream Team scheme going well but I have a chill every time the scene switch to Do Woo. He keeps me guessing what he plotting. His evilness seems to know no boundaries. Obiviously the Dream Team wll soon know they are after the wrong person. But when they find out, how will they take Do Woo down, that is if they can do it. I also think is kind of ironic that Eun Soo is helping the Dream Team while Kyung Ah is working with Do Woo. Can’t wait to see the other episodes and your recaps on them!

I know that the villian and all the other characters act very well. But please don’t forget that Park Yong Ha also did a great job in this drama. Everybody deserve a pat on the shoulders for adding dept in their respective character.

Thank you for the recap. Read it last night and I love this show!

@19 I think that your interpretation is quite interesting. I think you do have a point. Its interesting the KA is the character to me that sports the brains, the sex, the jaded past and the everything, while ES is suppose to have all the innocence, the ignorance, the simple qualities, etc. On the surface, it works but this is vastly different from the reality. Also though ES has all the knowledge, she still seems untainted by it. For KA, this isn’t and wouldn’t be the case. One could argue that their upbringing has alot to do with this but I will postulate that we are to assume that this a niche in their innate character, not circumstance.

As for DW-ES relationship, its definitely peculiar and at a level sexual but I think that its the imbalance within DW that makes it this way. I’m not saying that its only on his part(in it alone), for in episode 3 when she asks him if she can still visit the prisons and families of those her family destroys…I was a little uneasy. Back hugs are usually sweet regardless of whom they are from but somehow…this unsettled me. (I had to keep reminding myself that they are siblings.)
Again, I think that their relationship is odd but they are odd as people so there is going to be some weirdness that we can’t quite put our finger on. I think it suits them and definitely DW.
To go further, wouldn’t this be the way it should be being that he doesn’t seem very sexual in attachment to much else but work(wielding mental manipulative power)? I think its befitting him because he’d have to confuse that type of emotion with someone he genuinely loves because he doesn’t quite know what goes in what compartment(in relation to the love emotion/sexual attraction).

ES-KT at first I thought it would be cute and I’ve given it alot of thought, but I’m just not sure. I think that I will be fine if this develops but at the moment, not so much. I don’t know if I want KT with anyone. He seems to me like a guy who can hold his own. Also I definitely don’t want Shin and KA back together. I feel they are broken and though a type of relation can be mended, I think that their relationship shouldn’t be.

So much more to say but will wait for 8.

Excellent!!! Now it is getting more and more interesting… The director and his whole team did a good job… I am curious to know what will happen next.. Intially, i admitted that i doubt the quality of this drama, i simply watched it because of park yong ha after On Air.. This drama does not sound interesting to begin with. But i soon find out that it is not that bad afterall and it exceed my expectation of this film. I would say that now it did attract me to the show much more that the first few episodes. Hopefully it turns out good as the story unfold, more conflicts and mind games are expected to push up the ratings..

What do you think of Eun Soo’s actor’s performance? Everyone seems to be so caught up in Kang Tae and Do Woo, but I think she’s doing a pretty good job, though I don’t recognise her from anywhere else…

time to download this drama, I just can’t get enough of your recaps Sarah. They’re really, really good. I wasn’t watching it yet because I’m trying to watch Return of Iljimae. But from your recaps on this drama, I’m definitely downloading it TODAY!

Thanks Sarah. Have a great weekend everyone.
