Poor Kang Ha! In one episode, the gut-Wrenching Workout of Woe, the Shower of Self-Loathing, the Drinking of Despair, and the Exposition of Deep Past Hurts (I’ve run out of alliteration). How many more cliched ways for Kim Ji Hoon to signal that Kang Ha is tortured? Teehee. Oh, I must have a heart of stone, because I just giggle.

“And of course, sweaty exercise necessitates showering — no not gratuitous not at all! — and the drama would be remiss if it were to skip out on this excuse very necessary reason to give us a shower scene, wouldn’t it?”

…MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. I laughed really loudly when the shower scene came on. Good eye candy though, of course.

Although I’ve made the transition to Team Kang-ha, I still have a somewhat soft spot for Jun-ha, and you’re right on spot about him becoming more interesting as he stops being just the “nice guy” and is “the nice guy with a purpose which we are unable to ascertain as viewers”.

I can’t quite tell if he does genuinely likes her in a romantic way- although most of the time, to us, it’s quite obvious he’s not investing the right kind of emotions in her, you can’t help but see that there are also genuine moments of emotions like when his ex (Jae-young’s clone, as it is) claims that Pal-gang looks like a trap, and he looks over at her consideringly, as though…

The only blip in the whole episode was the end with the semi-kiss scene – I understand it’s to give viewers a sense of the to-be-romantic involvement, but the set up’s a tad too cliched for this drama, and it felt oddly out-of-place to me.

Dying to watch Episode 12, but…the site I’m streaming from!!…ARG…

Anyway, JB, thanks again for the fantastic recap and the great laughs…

75 kjohn,

I totaly agree. I also think Jun Ha wants Pal Gang to fall for someone else but Kang Ha. So when Pal Gang rejected Taekyu, he stepped in – all in the name of love sacrifice. *Still can’t get through the fact that how Jun Ha loves Jae Young so much. Urgh. Such a crappy way of showing how much you care.

But somehow, I do hope that despite his motive(s), he would really fall for Pal Gang, for who she really is. He’d shown some attractions towards her after all (like when he talked about her to his ex). I think Jun Ha’s plan is going to be backfired. Instead of hurting Kang Ha/ helping Jae Young/ whatever his motives are, he’s going to really fall for Pal Gang. Then things would really get interesting.

@lsk4020 — I think your take on Jun-Ha’s motives makes sense. I was thinking he was just trying to get his brother to admit his attraction, based on all of the pointed comments he made about how Kang-Ha was acting so different with Pal-Gang, but it didn’t feel right. So I’m thinking you’re correct and that he now just wants (or always wanted) Pal-Gang to fall for someone else so Kang-Ha will reconsider Jae-Young. I just didn’t want him to be this pathetic. Or so thoughtless.

Hmm…I always thought that Jun-ha was going after Pal-gang because of a comment that Jae-young made about Pal-gang and Kang-ha…about why it had to be her and not some other girl. I guess I just kind of assumed that Jun-ha wanted to get Pal-gang to turn away from Kang-ha (by setting up the situation with his nephew, and when that didn’t work, by trying to win her over himself) so that Kang-ha (might) turn to Jae-young. Almost like Jun-ha’s last grand gesture to Jae-young and his acceptance of the fact that since he wasn’t going to win her heart, he should help her get her “heart’s desire.” Did anybody else get the same feeling?

…can’t wait for your take on ep.12 & your “most-sought-after-recaps”, JB!!!
it was for me the BEST episode to date…+ many of the above-mentioned questions are aptly answered…although a whole Pandora’s box of secrets, have also emerged!!! never expected to LOVE this drama, at first…truthfully, I only checked it out for some Kim Ji Hoon eye-candy!!! But the storyline has since been getting better each week & the characters have become endearing!!!
