i would like hye- na to end up with tae yoon, they suit and compliment each other, dong chan looks way too old for hye-na.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think that pacing and the story have massive holes. For some reason, I just don’t get why Dongchan fell for Haena so quickly. After being so repulsed by her in the first episode, he really develops feelings for her quickly. I guess the premise that being together all the time can have that effect on a person makes it a fraction more viable, but I think it would have been better if it had developed a little more slowly. Also the way that Dongchan has been so devoted to Haena since he started working there is a little weird for me. This makes him seem like a push-over, which he’s not, or at least not supposed to be. I don’t buy his feelings. I really want to like him, but because of this I am finding myself more drawn to Taeyoon. At least there seems to be more depth to his character. (Although how he was so frantic to find her during this episode, I don’t buy either. It’s not like she was going to do something too drastic, so I don’t understand especially his melodramatic response.)

Not to say that all K-dramas are realistic, which we know is far from the truth, I do tend to like those with more believable plot lines. Plucky and encouragable are the best words to describe My Fair Lady. I just wish that it had a little more grit.

Side note: Thanks for the recaps! I’d have to say one of the funniest moments in this episode is when Euijoo’s mother is talking to the head housekeeper/butler (can’t remember exactly who it was) and almost let slip that Dongchan used to be a male escort. ㅋㅋ

really luv this episode, can’t wait for next 2 episodes to air,
luv eun hye n jung ll woo, more scenes for them plz….plz ^_^
they’ll make a good couple….. on n off screen, I’m team hae na and tae yoon
aja… aja… fighting:)

It’s funny how that’s the case in so many k-dramas where the lead actress will often play the “bad girl” role in a previous drama.

TY does not like the fake HY. In fact he likes the glimpses of the REAL HY when he sees her honest and vulnerable self (when she ran after him; when she attends the feeding for the poor and admits to usually attending parties only; in fact she showed she likes him w/out any pretenses) so how can these be her faked side?)

DC`character has major flaw from the start. Even if he changed for the better, in Kdramas this is flaw generally is attributed to the protagonist only and not the major lead. Forget the he owed money because of his sick mother but how can all his lies and drwaing money from women (being a gigolo) be equated with a protected but rebellious young innocent girl who did nothing wrong except break things when mad and just do things her own way? She is merely a young rebel but not a gangster like the DC character? They don;t match at all.

If only TY character be given more time to develop, it has more potentials for a lead role that the butler (which will just be a typical male cinderella role) plus the fact that he is more compatible with the female lead (HY) no matter how much push is given to the DC/HY and TY/EY pairings.

Lets make it more real life than typical fantasy story where similar cultural and economic lifestyles merge after some conflicts as this will go for a happily ever after instead of the typical rich girl poor partner or vice versa. Why cant it go the way of TY/HY and DC/EY? Isn’t it more interesting that a love blossoms between a supposedly brother /sister ; and the TY/HY takes a turnaround from a HY rooting for TY to a TY after HY later on? For me this is more believable and has more exciting future than the DC/HY relationship which is quite contribed and forced. They do not match at all. Where in the world do you find a Butler who is so “physically intimate” to her boss than here? DC touched her body (arm, back, shoulder, hands without regard or respect.He always stand and talks to her very closely hence it looked very personal. A true butler keeps his distance, but always around; provide all needs of the boss without much ado; do not talk back to his boss; do not sit together in the car with boss. How come the rich and fiesty boss sits in the front of the car with the buitler/driver? This does not make sense for a rich and spoiled boss sititng closely with the butler whom she disliked at the beginning.. That’s why I say this relationship is too contribed as this can never happen in real life or even in fantasy stories.

Some says Dc signed up for the main role, however, there will be no harm so long as all characters are given equal meaty role- he does not have to be the one for HY? Right?

To make this drama more interesting, the writers and director should surprise us with the story developments and must not make it too obvious who will win the girl in the end so we are left anticipating every episode and a two possible ending scenario based on the audience reactions as the drama progress regardless of what is shown in the synopsis or the stills. This will break MFL from the typical plots and make for interesting watch. Keep us guessing and rooting for the best male lead.!!!!

Just something to think about..

I have not been satisfied with the last 4 episode of this drama but I most say I love episode 5 and 6. There is still a chance that I will watch this one until the end so please, scriptwriters, directors and actors, do a good job.
Prove me wrong!!!

Great recap on 5 and 6, Dramabeans! I have to give it to you; I really enjoy reading your blogs. And your opinion is typically on the money in terms of a drama catching my interest. I guess, I’m looking for another City Hall, another Cha Seung Won….
