While I was watching this episode I came to realize that I really do like Eun Soo’s character now. Initially there was the potential for a relationship with An Tae Kyung, which I was opposed to because he shouldn’t belong to anyone! But the scriptwriters have done a good job of developing the story, I have completely warmed up to Eun Soo now and hope she ends up with Kim Shin. I’m OK with romance sometimes, but it’s rare to see a case like this where it isn’t a major part of the story. But I’m still looking forward to seeing how it plays out.

Is this the way to watch a drama? Anticipate reading your recap after each one? Haha.

hi,JB..

i’ve been a silent reader all this while but reading this recap, i can’t hold on to my excitement. i just have to leave some ‘footprints’ here. i truly regret that i missed the first three episodes, perhaps the ‘shock’ was too big for me to handle, i.e. from the light-hearted BOF to SOAM. but truth be told, when i read your recaps, i’ve been following the series @ KBS World quite religiously. [the same goes for Iljimae!]

i’ve never been a fan of PYH, as i’m not into Winter Sonata, but upon watching On Air, i slowly accepted his good acting and as far as SOAM is concerned, he’s definitely one of my fav Ahjusshis..[or Oppa?!] as for KKW, i’ve watched him in a variety show once and he was quite funny in it. so seeing him in SOAM just amazed me.

at the moment i’m re-watching Kim Sam Soon, and actually felt sort of ‘proud’ to see how mature ‘Eun Soo’ is in SOAM as opposed to her character in MNKSS. and the love his brother has for her in SOAM is very intriguing. something new for me,the approach is so different from ALL the kdramas i’ve watched.

i agree with everyone, that this drama is great! definitely worth seeing. and dearest JB, please keep up the good work. 파이팅.. & 사랑해!

No they’re not, but they look good together.

KKW is engaged to Han Hye Jin’s sister.

seriously, what is up with the spoilers?? JB you should just ban that “janet” person if that’s at all possible. I’ve already finished the series but no way would I ruin such a great drama….and particularly one that’s almost entirely built on the suspense it creates! That is just ridiculousness….

“‘Hold me, help me.’ Why do people say things like that? Is it because you need someone to blame later if things don’t turn out well? So you can say, ‘This happened to me because you didn’t hold onto me’?”

^I <3 this line…

Gawd. Even from the first few eps, I knew Do Woo’s father is the root of his twisted thinking. Gah~ they both just failed to see that….

Huwaa~ This is officially my favoritest ep! ^^ Thanks again Javabeans!

Hi JB,

” It killed my excitement in the series just when it should be hitting its crescendo, and that sucks.”

Same sentiments with regards to the spoilers. i was reading the comments and couldn’t believe my eyes when i came upon the spoilers. wanted to stop but too late. argh!

anyway, i think this ep clears up the relationship between Doo-woo and his sister – ie. not romantically inclined – which is good. i always wonder whether his sister could actually save his sanity at all esp since he has a soft spot for her.

Thanks for pointing out the alibi bit. i did wondered about that scene esp there was a clock in the foyer and facing Doo-woo!

maybe insanity is in the Chae’s male genes, seeing how Chairman Chae is becoming.

looking forward to next recap!

crap it all, i was also a victim of a spoiler – who actually posts the ending in the main comments section of the video channel?? who does that stuff? it just reminded me of this brat who was in front of me at the midnight opening for deathly hallows and she opened up the epilogue and read it out loud to the crowd. arghhh

can’t wait to read your reactions on the last two episodes!
