Best Love: Episode 7

So much cuteness, I can’t even stand it. But better yet — character growth! Relationship evolution! Hilaaaaarious oneupmanship of the best, most ridiculous kind! Ahh, it’s SO GOOD to have a Hong sisters drama on the air.

EPISODE 7 RECAP

So Jin totally wrecks the budding truce he has with Ae-jung by acting like an ass and propositioning her, calling her “easy,” and sends her straight into the arms of the good doctor.

He slaps his face away to avoid looking, and finds his body turning back of its own accord, and grabs his sweater to whirl himself back around. He staggers off like some kind of impaired robot, half of him trying to turn back and the other half forcing him away. How can such a poignant moment be so ridiculously wacky? Oh, right. We’re in a Hong sisters drama!

At home, he’s confronted with the spilled potatoes, which Ae-jung had been intending to turn into curry. Revenge is a dish best served alone?

Dad chides Ae-hwan for meddling about the music video and reminds Ae-hwan about the actor Ae-jung had dated back in the day. That had led to the scandal about her using the star as a launchpad for her own acting career; what if history repeats?

Ae-hwan protests that this time it’s different — he’s sure Jin likes Ae-jung, and that the Se-ri thing is over — but Dad barks at him to remember the last time, when Other Dude also liked Ae-jung, but backstabbed her in the end anyway and turned her into a man-stealer.

Ae-jung admits to Pil-joo that she was crying out of embarrassment. She can usually handle being thought of as easy and dirty because she knows she isn’t, “But today, I felt like I really did come off as easy and dirty, which made me feel ashamed.”

Pil-joo reminds her of her initial outburst when she’d called herself a national treasure (kukbo) that couldn’t be bought with 10 billion won, and says, “I couldn’t do anything when our nation’s number 1 treasure was hurt, but when the national treasure in front of me is hurt, I promised I’d heal her.” (He refers to Sungnyemun, the Namdaemun gate listed as Korea’s top national treasure that was destroyed by arson in 2008.)

Ae-jung jokes that she was actually Kukbo number 2, in terms of age, which he turns into more punning: “Ah, you must’ve been the tahb.” She misinterprets, saying that they were popular so yes, they were at the top. He corrects her — he meant the Wongaksa Pagoda (stone pagoda = seok-tahb) that’s listed as treasure number 2.

Ae-jung: “Wasn’t that Dong…dae…mun?” Pil-joo: “You’ll have to study more.” Cute.

Jin eats his sad little curry at home alone, noting, “Curry without potatoes is disgustingly untasty.” But he eats anyway, the potatoes untouched beside him, which is pretty heart-tugging either way you interpret it: Either he’s stubbornly convincing himself he doesn’t want them, or he can’t bear to cut ’em up and eat them alone.

The next day, Jin has lunch with President Moon, who asks if he’d agreed to appear in Ae-jung’s music video. Jin barks that no, he hasn’t made any agreements.

The mood turns strained when Ae-jung joins the party, having been called so that they can clear out the air after the A-B-C fight, since they’re all in the same management family. Jin retorts that she’s not family, she’s a dependent (i.e., moocher), and says pointedly that she’s so shameless that saying this to her face isn’t likely to embarrass her.

Ae-jung agrees, saying that she won’t be embarrassed when she can just blatantly ignore him — a prospect that alarms Jin. Like a little boy with his pride nettled, he has to strike back, and when Ae-jung declines to order the expensive A Course, he mocks her about picking cheaply to please the president. (And then looks worried when she doesn’t respond to the insult.)

President Moon steps out for a moment and is puzzled at the atmosphere — she’d actually called this lunch to observe them together and confirm her suspicions, and here they are being all chilly.

When Jin tries to excuse himself, Ae-jung tells him that he can’t — not when he has to promote her album and appear in her video. Or is he going to refuse, since he didn’t get the sex he so wanted last night? While he gapes at her incredulously, she tells him she’d assumed he was “writing an innocent novel” with all his blathering about Camellia, but given his recent behavior, she’s downgraded him to 뽕, the name of an adult movie. HAHAHA.

She says ominously that he’d better do her video: “You’ve got a butthole for a mouth so when you open it, we know what comes out. But I’ve got a bomb for a mouth: When I open it, things explode.” (Erm…just as long as we’re not combining the two…) She continues: “So about last night’s events — shall I open my mouth and write a book about it, or shall I sell an album with you appearing in my music video?” She advises him to choose the expensive route, “not the cheap one, if you want to look good to me.”

She stalks out muttering to herself that she can ridicule him just as much as he ridicules her — which is when he chases her down and wrist-grabs her around the corner to ask what she’s doing. Is she threatening him into doing her video, or lashing back from injured pride? “Whichever it is, just pick one, instead of confusing a person.”

(Note: The word “confuse” refers to feelings, as though he doesn’t know how to draw the lines to identify which emotions go where. In dramas, we’re almost always talking about a person being confused with romantic feelings.)

Ae-jung: “What’s there to confuse? Think whatever you want. You do that anyway. I treated you like a person to use and mock, didn’t I? Then consider yourself used and mocked by me.” He grabs her and says, “Fine, I’ll become someone you can really laugh at, so use me. But do it properly, so you don’t confuse me.”

With that, he tells President Moon that he’ll help with the album, and wants all the best people assembled. When she presents the plans to the Gu siblings, they’re stunned at the all-star lineup, who are so beyond their level as to be burdensome.

At home, Jin regards his potatoes with the gravity of a general about to leap into battle, telling them that their existence will be decided based on Ae-jung’s actions: If she signs that contract, that means she was just going to use him for her career and potatoes become meaningless. With a sideways glance, we see the pot of water boiling on the stove, awaiting use. LMAO.

Ae-jung, however, is feeling torn and knows that she’s being tested. Her brother pleads with her to think carefully, because while he agrees that it’s a difficult place for her to be in, if they can score a hit with this one song, they can position themselves for a more successful future.

She signs, and Jin takes his potatoes to meet their demise. In goes one, then two, but curiously he’s got tears in his eyes and he can’t drop the third, which sets off his heart monitor. Deciding that the shock may do him in, he puts it back into its bowl, telling it, “Consider yourself in prison.” HAHAHA. Oh, why so cute?

President Moon is shrewd enough to know that this is a pride battle between her clients, and asks Ae-jung if signing has hurt hers: “If you stuck to your pride and didn’t sign, you’d have lost your chance but been able to capture his heart.” Ae-jung says she has no intention of claiming his feelings, and is in no position to give up this opportunity.

President Moon tells her she did the right thing — because if she’d stuck to her pride and continued to rattle Jin’s feelings, she would have cast Ae-jung aside: “You’re quite realistic. Maintain that.”

Trust the Hong sisters to draw the parallel before we can: Jenny says that the president’s just like all those hard-nosed mothers-in-law in dramas who refuse to give up their precious sons to the heroines. Ae-jung points out that this makes her a non-heroine, because she accepted the deal that heroines always reject. Jenny assures her she did the right thing, and that she shouldn’t see Jin anymore anyway since he’s treating her like a gold digger. Besides, she doesn’t like him anyway, right?

Ae-jung agrees, consoling herself with that thought. Until she steps on Pororo accidentally, who chides her not to lie.

Se-ri visits Pil-joo to ask about the anti-bloating medicine he’d given her earlier, asking if she could double up to lose more weight. He advises against it, and assures her that she’s thin and beautiful already. She fishes for a few more compliments, gratified when he calls her one of the country’s most beautiful.

She demurely says, “I am called a national treasure.” Remembering his kukbo conversation, Pil-joo calls her number 4 (keke), which she takes the wrong way. Pil-joo clarifies that he meant by age, but nods understandingly, “Ah, so were you also fourth in popularity?”

Se-ri happily notes that Pil-joo is very interested in national treasures, and he replies that he’s developed quite the interest lately. She drops the tidbit that she’ll be breaking up with Jin soon (which is why she wants to slim down more, to elicit sympathy), yunno, just in case that should interest him.

Ae-jung’s father has decided to end the ruse that he’s Se-ri’s father and return the expensive Oriental medicine balls. He’s eaten three of the ten, but figures it’s better late than never, right? Only, when he calls Pil-joo’s mother to return the box, he finds her at a grand opening for a barbecue restaurant, and can’t resist the pull of free, high-quality meat. Oy! Talk about bringing new meaning to selling your daughter for a cow.

Jae-seok notices that Jin’s feeling down because of Ae-jung, but saying that aloud is his folly: Ominously, Jin motions Jae-seok close and says in his best Mi-shil voice (accompanied by eerie Mi-shil theme song!) that managers are human and can make mistakes, “But my manager can’t.”

Jae-seok is invited along to celebrate Ae-jung’s album, which is a conversation that draws Jin’s interest; he’s particularly gratified to hear that they’re trying to lift Ae-jung’s depressed mood. He figures, “At least she has a conscience.”

Jenny urges Ae-jung to perk up and sing a song, but when she stands, she steps in a wad of gum, just as they notice a fly buzzing in the air. So there she is, stomping awkwardly and flailing at the air — and this weird “dance” is what Jin sees when he arrives with Jae-seok, which stings his pride.

Miffed, he drops a cake box on the table and sulkily takes a seat. Jae-seok makes the monumentally bad call of choosing G-Dragon’s “Heartbreaker” to sing, because Jin chafes at the lyrics that (hee!) hit too close to home:

“I don’t give in, I’ve still got uses
My body was wrecked because of you, dreams destroyed, heart burned
For you, I could fly, I’d run to where you are
But you said goodbye again and again
What’s the reason you don’t want me?
Your annoyed expressions tell me everything and make me sad
But I still like you, still ask for a chance
I hate your heart that’s turned away, your cold gaze”

Jin tries to contain his irritation, but finally jumps up with a roar…and joins in the chorus:

“Yo ma heart heart heart heart heart breaker
What did I do wrong?
You’re ma heart heart heart heart heart breaker
no way no way”

Oh my god. I’m dying. And with that, Jin clutches his heart (Get it? Heartbreaker emotionally AND literally?), overdoing it. He steps out for a break, and Ae-jung follows him to check on him.

He admits to saying some harsh things that day, and suggests that if she were to say that she didn’t come to his house just to ask for a favor — if she intended to also make him curry — he’ll be understanding. Oof, it’s so sweet when you’re grasping at straws.

She tells him, “You don’t have to understand,” mumbling that she’s just thankful to him, and turns to leave. Jin grabs her shoulder, just as her heart starts to thump.

Asking for a minute of her time, Jin takes off his heart monitor and puts it on her wrist: “If for one minute you don’t go outside the safety zone between 60 and 90, I’ll just keep being that person you’re thankful to.” (Meaning: I’ll back off.)

They stand there watching as the numbers climb, hitting 90, then 100. Unnerved, she breaks free and asks pleadingly for him to leave her be: “If I want to continue earning my keep, I can’t let myself tremble because of someone like you. Please leave me alone so I can live between 60 and 90.”

There’s a logic to that (his very own, in fact) and Jin accepts it resignedly, taking back the monitor without looking. He pulls out the pen and gives it to her, explaining that that’s why he’d gotten angry — because he found the pen in the ball pit, but she’d lied to impress the doctor.

Jin: “Are you embarrassed now that your lie has been exposed? But I’ll understand you anyway, because you have your own circumstances. It’s impressive, that a thing like you has turned Dokko Jin into a laughingstock. Don’t go spreading rumors.” He starts to say something about the cake, but stops himself and goes, looking pained.

When Ae-jung opens the cake box, she finds her lost shoe. The other three in the party guess that Pil-joo bought the replacement so Ae-jung wouldn’t worry, which makes Jenny ooh over his consideration. Ae-hwan argues for Jin instead, while Jae-seok points out that while Jin has the bad personality, women are always drawn to the bad guy.

Jenny retorts that she’s not like that, which perks both men up in interest, who then scramble to offer her refreshment. She picks both their beverages, saying, “I want both.”

Pil-joo apologizes for the lie, perceiving that he’s made Ae-jung feel even worse, and wants to fix it. She admits that the pen caused a “frustrating misunderstanding” but it doesn’t seem fixable — not when she’s already taken the bite (the contract) and isn’t in a position to give it back. Ruefully, she tells Pil-joo that the only thing to do in response to the bite is to wake from the pain.

At home, Jin sighs — he wanted Ae-jung to try to explain her actions. It’s sadly sweet that he’s looking for any excuse to forgive her, but she feels so bad that she can’t even offer that up. Awww. So there he goes fondling that potato again, deciding sadly, “However I torment or grab or test her, there’s only one answer — I have to admit it. I’ve… fallen into a shameful one-sided love.”

And then! He notices something on the potato — a sprout. And since potato sprouts are poisonous, he declares that he must cut it out.

Except that… instead, Jin puts the potato into a wineglass with water. OH MY GOD that’s so silly and sweet.

Ae-jung contemplates her shoe, practicing a few lines: “Dokko Jin-sshi, I didn’t lie to you. I came to cancel my words about never, ever liking you.” Alas, she decides against actually saying them.

Next we see, Jin is dressing in a sharp suit, telling himself that to keep from betraying that he’s fallen into a pathetic one-sided love, he has to look even better than usual. He waters his potato, figuring, “Whether it’s poisonous or not, it’s grown this much, might as well keep raising it.”

Ae-jung readies for another TV appearance, and tells her brother that she wants to talk to President Moon about cutting back their excessive album production budget. Ae-hwan cheers her up with news of a star auction for Couple Making, which will be including one of her personal items: her sneakers. That makes her hesitate, but she agrees to let them go.

Only, she has second thoughts and decides to retrieve the shoes — except she runs right into Jin on her way, who’s at the station to discuss a documentary special. After a brief greeting, Jin leaves without attempting conversation.

Ae-jung’s disappointed but continues on her way, only to be rebuffed by the automatic turnstile because of her frog suit padding. She decides to hop (snerk) the barrier but struggles because of the unwieldy costume — which is when she’s swept off her feet (literally) by Jin, who reappears to carry her over.

They have a brief, polite conversation about her TV spot, and he’s actually quite mellow and restrained, even wishing her well. When he walks off, Ae-jung frets, “I wish he’d gotten angry instead — why’s he acting so cool?”

She decides she’d better not retrieve the sneakers after all, because she’d be tempted to keep wearing them: “And if I wear them, I’ll want to run to him.”

Pil-joo asks Se-ri to clearly define her relationship with Jin, not realizing how she (mis)interprets that question. She explains that a celebrity breakup carries extra complications, and that they have to take care of image and contract factors as well. Pil-joo guesses that if one side finds a new love interest, that third party can end up hurt. Se-ri warns him to be very careful, assuming he refers to himself, because in her mind it’s all about her, her, her.

Jin and Jae-seok run into the youngest writer on the Couple Making team, who explains that she’s readying the site for auction. Jin recognizes the shoes she holds, and muses glumly that Ae-jung’s getting rid of them after he returned them to her.

Pil-joo comes along and also sees the shoes, which the writer accidentally drops. When he moves to pick up one, Jin steps in and claims it. They have a silent showdown as Pil-joo says pleasantly, “I think you should entrust that to me.” Ooh, fight! Fight! Fight! Jin hands it back to the writer instead, advising her to be careful with it, because “If you drop it, anybody can claim it’s his.” Pil-joo comes right back with: “Please entrust it to me. I’m not just anyone, am I?”

Both men check out the auction site, where Ae-jung’s sneakers have the lowest bid by far. Jenny and Ae-jung are aware of the situation (they’re at a mere 30,000 won, or about $25) and Jenny wants to put in a bid herself, but is stopped by Ae-jung. Which is when they notice that the price shoots up to 500,000 — Pil-joo’s bid.

Jin sees the update and refuses to let the shoes go to “just anybody” — not when “the very special me found them.” Boom! 1 million won it is.

Pil-joo sees the price jump, suspects that Jin is behind it, and has a moment of manly pique. 2 million won!

Jin tells himself to butt out and not turn himself into a laughingstock…but then has the fantasy of Pil-joo romantically returning the sneakers to Ae-jung. 3 million won!

Pil-joo guesses, “He must really not want me to take them. Then…I’ll have to take them!” The writers watch the climbing prices with shock — 7 million! 8 million! Oh lordy, I love these two grown men acting like children. Mine’s bigger than yours, indeed! (Bank accounts, I mean! Naturally.)

Just as Pil-joo enters his bid of 10 million, a client enters the office, whose child trips over the power strip, shutting his computer off. So what does he do? Races to his receptionist’s computer for this “emergency” — only to find the auction has ended.

Jin congratulates himself: “The special Dokko Jin has won over the just-anybody doctor. HAHAHA!”

And then he comes to his senses, and turns his victory fingers accusingly against himself: “Why’d you do that?!” Jin pleads for forgiveness with himself, just as his hand attacks his face. OMG. Giggle fits all around.

Se-ri’s curious about the auction winner, who checks out to be some guy in his mid-twenties. But the bigger problem, which the writer confides to her, is that the other bidder was Pil-joo. Se-ri realizes, “Then the Kukbo Sonyeo he was interested in…was Ae-jung unni?”

Pride wounded, Se-ri gets the idea for her petty little revenge when a reporter comes by asking for info on the auction. She tells him that nobody knows who the winner is, in this age of internet ID’s. Why, it could have even been Ae-jung herself.

That’s the story that breaks, and suddenly Ae-jung is under suspicion for boosting the auction to promote herself. She confirms with the producers that she didn’t do it, and they worry that if the real buyer doesn’t reveal himself before their shoot tomorrow, where reporters are sure to crowd, it’ll be assumed she did it.

Jae-seok offers to step forward, since the shoes were bought with his ID. Jin shoots that down, because it’ll still look bad — he’s a manager from Ae-jung’s agency, so the effect will be just as bad.

Ae-jung tries to assure her family that it’ll be okay, and they encourage her to ride out the false rumors, that she can hold her head up because she knows she didn’t do it. But Hyung-kyu asks innocently, “What’s a sponsor?” because people have been saying that Ae-jung bought her own sneakers with her sponsor’s cash. And then, “Why do they call Aunt a rag?”

Ouch. Ae-jung gently tells Hyung-kyu not to use those words, and also reminds him not to tell people at school that she’s his aunt, which is kinda heartbreaking. And when she washes out a rag that night, she looks at it sadly with its frayed edges.

The next day, the broadcasting building is knee-deep in reporters. Ae-jung apologizes to the producers for the disturbance, while fielding nasty looks from the other cast members. The PD tells her to address the mob before the shoot, which rather seems like throwing a lamb to the wolves to spare himself, in an effort to tamp down the chaos.

Pil-joo arrives, having read the articles and seen the crowd, and watches Ae-jung apologizing to everyone, feeling for her. On the other hand, Se-ri pushes to have Ae-jung cut from the show, saying that whenever other variety shows have issues with cast members, they cut them before the matter is even settled. (Ouch, but true.) The writer counters that they know Ae-jung didn’t do it, and says that they’ll decide after seeing the press’s reaction.

It’s not bound to be pretty: As soon as Ae-jung steps out to address them, she’s swarmed with cameras. Overwhelmed, all she can say is that she doesn’t know, and tries to work her way out of the crowd.

In the jostling, she loses a shoe, and the reporters pounce to get their shot. Pil-joo grows angry on her behalf and starts to step forward, but Se-ri stops him by saying that his involvement will only make things worse for Ae-jung.

Just as things hit their frenzied peak, another figure steps forward and announces, “They’re here!” It’s Jin, holding up the sneakers, and the reporters rush to get their photos.

Jin joins Ae-jung and poses with the shoes, declaring, “The person who bought Gu Ae-jung’s shoes is me, Dokko Jin!”

The audience oohs at this dramatic turn, and that’s before Jin actually kneels before her to put the shoe on her foot.

The reporters marvel, Ae-jung stares at him wide-eyed, and Jin…winks. Ahh, you sexy bastard!

 
COMMENTS

I love that the story is moving so swiftly, with both parties having acknowledged their feelings to each other (hers are coded in the heartbeat, but the essence of the moment is understood by both). So now, at less than halfway through, we have plenty of time to mine the other stuff that often gets left out of dramas of this ilk.

We flirted briefly with the fandom/fame aspect of a public relationship in You’re Beautiful (and Last Scandal, and My Princess, and Mary Stayed Out All Night), but aside from the concept of the Magical Press Conference That Clears Up All Misunderstandings, we didn’t get to explore a lot of the other side of the romance — the part where the party has to deal with the fallout of being together. It’s one aspect I liked about A Star’s Lover, except that in that drama, everything was so drearily melodramatic and grim that I had a hard time enjoying the romance once it went public.

I love the idea of Jin possibly being brought down low because of his association with the Queen of Unliked Celebs, and while I’m not positive that’s where the show is going, I look forward to it if it is. Can you imagine, Se-ri getting all the sympathy and our couple dealing with the all that other stuff — reputation, image, netizens — tearing at them? Plus there’s the crafty agency president, who’s already made her stance clear. This is a show about showbiz — so let’s really get into it and integrate that showbiz aspect, rather than using it as mere window dressing to make them celebs in name only. So many dramas incorporate chaebols, stars, and other famous people, but don’t really do much with it other than said Magical Press Conference That Clears Up All Misunderstandings.

I’m looking forward to a rom-com’s angsty moments being something other than (1) denial about feelings or (2) meddling others jealousy stepping in, so this should be interesting. Ooh, things are about to get good.

She looks much prettier with her hair pulled back off her face, perhaps the bangs are deliberately ragged and slightly unflattering to give her a run-down look?

I laugh so hard and I swoon. Jin in a suit: Gorgeous. he is so sexy with them.
My pulse will accelerate if I have Cha Seung-won behind me and so close. I have to say, when he started to sing we lost him. He is over the top, but there he was kicking and screaming. I had a mix between laughter, fear and embarrasment. but Jin and the potatoes ("Consider yourself in prison" So.Cute.) are one sweet thing.

Thank you for the recap!.

I still prefer Jin for Ae-jung, but as a character the two are neck and neck. Pil-joo is certainly more proactive (and open about butting heads with his rival) than your typical second lead!

It's so strange. This blog has becomes a fan club of CSW while in many other on-line Kdrama communities I visited, including greatest love DC gall inside, there are many different opinions concerning this drama.
I still feel more natural chemistry between GHJ and YKS, not in the sense of characters they play, but as the actor and actress who play Ae-jeong and Pil-joo. In fact, I love the character of Jin more than Pil-joo, but YKS' well-controlled performance just pulls me over to his side. When GHJ and YKS appear in the same scene, they don't have to do much to create sparks in the acting space. CSW is surely awesome when he acts ALONE, but when he interacts with GHJ, I feel like that he goes overboard most of the time. I guess that's what is demanded of his character. But I wonder if that kind of characterization can sustain the viewership for the rest of the remaining episodes.

Although I am not a fan of City Hall, I have to say CSW has a better and much more convincing chemistry with KSA.Also from episode 6, the character of Ae-jeong becomes rather flat. I hope that there is more to her character later.

I've been guilt of Kukkoo's thought process too (or a bit of it.) When you're in your early 20s it seems that 30 is the end times.

But I find the phrasing hilarious! As if he's being wheeled into the drama set (a literal heart monitor perhaps? A pot of vitamins and catheter tubes just in case the "cute wink" pops a blood vessel) and every staff member is harnessing all their abilities to pull of the "cute."

Actually what you described is how he WAS presented in the beginning of the drama, getting open heart surgery, ad he was only supposed to be 27 at that time.

I didn't realize at that time he had a vitamin water IV drip. Makes perfect sense now.

btw, that stuff really does taste horrible. Why not just drink water?

I will never look at another potato without be reminded of Dokko Gin!

The Hong Sisters' creativity is absolutely mind-boggling. To turn a 'potato' to a bell-weather of 'love' was truly brilliant.

And for Dokko Gin to treat the potatoes as if they were on convicts on trial. And, their verdict and sentence AKA 'life' depended on AY's action was hilarious.

I had visions of the first two potatoes walking the plank into the boiling water. And, the last potato getting commuted sentence of life imprisonment.

Thank you so much for the speedy recap.

I was a bit worried that as far as ratings go 'Best Love' would not do so well (the Lee Min Ho and Yeun Eun Hye effect and all) and the first episode was only semi-popular on the telly as far as I could tell (rating of 8.6 in Seoul and about 7% Nationally) BUT I am THRILLED to inform that the drama has gone from episode's six rating of 12.7 (Seoul) to 17.9% being the most watched in its time slot.

*SIGH* I am so happy the actors get to see the fruits of their labor. I am always terrified of some kind of criminal "Flowers of My Life" scenario happening again.

I love how the Hong sisters love their dramas. As a drama lover, it's fun to see so many bits of other dramas parodied in this one. It amazes me how much substance is packed into each episode! The whole thing with the potatoes is so cute. CSW pulls off his conversations with the gamjas so winningly. I think a lesser actor could have made me scoff at those scenes. And Pil joo's pouts are so cute. And Ae jung is so awesome. (And I want that frog costume!)

Gosh, I love all the characters. Well, minus Jenny, whose aegyo is getting to be a bit much, but I chalk that to her minimal acting experience.

After all the comments about wrist-grabbing and whatnot in the Dokko Jin article a few days ago, I've become acutely aware of wrist-grabs occuring in this drama. I actually started to look forward to more Dokko Jin wrist-grabs than the prospect of his first kiss with Ae-jung. Hey, call me weird :D

The bidding game was hilarious while having the X-Files theme song in the b/g. LMAO!

Only GHJ can make that frog costume look good. She is shameless at her passionate craft. You're the best GHJ!

I almost fell off my chair watching Jin sing "Heartbreaker." He kicks pretty high, and he totally rocked it. A little voice inside of me kinda wished he'd sing "That Man" from SG OST instead. Probably 'cos AJ's dad keeps sporting those sparkly track jackets. What? Too high a pitch for CSW? Well, I'm sure he can improvise. I dare him.

I'm off watching City Hunter now. Who's with me?

GAH I am so weird...to think I'd be so invested in the FATE OF A POTATO! From being sentenced to death to imprisonment to being nurtured lovingly...(I was totally praying for the safety of the potato...)

I love so many things in this episode too...
Jin's interactions with his potatoes
Jin's watch on AJ
AJ frog suit impeding her
Jin lifting her over..(gosh...he didn't even LOOKED strained...that suit plus AJ gotta be a little heavy...and he looks like he didn't feel it at all....great acting or is CSW in awesome shape or what)
DJ vs YPJ moments

So glad I have so many cute moments to soften the angsty moment at the beginning of this episode...

And I wonder if the Hongs' sisters heard you guys but did anyone noticed Jin did two wrist grabs (when he was still angry at AJ) but he only SLEEVE-TUGGED and HELD her SHOULDER after that when he wanted to talk to her at the Karaoke...I wonder if this is gonna continue or if those scenes are just one-offs...guess I might be overanalyzing a little with all those discussions we had on wrist-grabbing!

Haha, sadly my first thoughts at the end (besides wondering if Jin really does get all his ideas from dramas) were about how a friend of mine wished me purple dancing shoes last week for my birthday. So my brain spazzed into the idea of "If I actually get those shoes I'd be fabulous...AND GET A DOKKO JIN?! Yes please!"

So happy this didn't make the pen a major angsty plot point. It's great they were able to clear things up quickly to start having some angst about something else. Also another yay for character growth! I can't wait for the next episode tomorrow. Times like this makes me really happy they show two a week and not the American system of one a week.

It'll be interesting to see how Jin spins this, because while he is changing, he's still majorly image conscious. Either it could be spun for the music video (as we don't even know what the song would be) or about buying them to return them to Aejung in some friendly-secretly-romantic-whatever gesture. That probably would be the crux of this is Jin's image consciousness in the end when he's finally in the eye of the netizen beast. It'll be exciting to see him deal with that.

Wait, wait, WAIT!!! The shoe/pen issue was cleared up in one episode, and not dragged out for half of the series?!! I got my wish in one go?! HONG SISTERS ARE THE FREAKING BEST!!!!!

The online auction is the cutest thing EVER!! ....Just after the potatoes that is ("Consider this your prison!" LOL SO DANG CUTE!). Aww, I love the freeze frame of Pil-Joo's face when he loses!! I eat that right up!! I love him, but he's so adorkable that I love his second lead angst even more! That pout!! *squeals* Thank the Lord for cute clumsy toddlers!

Someone needs to staple Se-Ri's mouth shut, cause I get feeling that history just repeated itself, all due to the fact that the stupid girl can't bear the thought of people liking Ae-jung more that her. GET OVER YOURSELF HEIFER!

And now Jin is nursing the potato (both figuratively AND literally), saving his leading lady from the press, giving her back her sneakers like she's Cinderella (I don't even care if it's cliche, CSW makes it HAWT), and Winking. At her. Again (Once more, HAWT!!! [OMG Jomo I'm beside myself, and she's freaking out.])!!

This should lead to some much feared drama and angst (which I live for), but I'm sure the payoff will be GLORIOUS!!

...Oh Yeah...(o.O)
And they haven't even KISSED!!! XD *dances like a spazzed out muppet*

This drama is so FREAKING good!!!

Thank you for the wonderful Re-Cap.

I am not so for the 2nd lead and definately would get radical/angry/ furios if PJ snaps AJ away from my PJ.

But when you mentioned THE POUT, I have to admit something :P

The only scenes I melt for PJ is, when he POUTS - God, he is adorably sweet in those moments. Lucky me, he pouts not very often :)

Agree with everything you wrote!

A kiss: a plea
The Best Love crew has given us lots:
Pens, chickens, boiling pots,
Flowers, sneakers, cows and spuds
Frogs, watches, roots and buds.

I love the looks, the grabs, the winks
All of Dokku Jin’s hijinks,
And Ae-jung’s smiles sad and sweet
fueling DJ’s monumental heat.

But, listen, Writers, we need more:
A bed, a car, the wall, the floor.
Don’t care where – we’ve seen near misses.
Now it’s time to bring the kisses.

SO right.

If this sexiness doesn't end in a vague semi-pg lowering of Gu Ae Jung into a princess bed (or wherever Dokko Jin sleeps....that is a princess bed) I will throw a tantrum!

Meaning I will wait a whole five minutes before watching the episode....maybe two....find I would never do such a thing! BUT I would be quite put out.

There's a couple of posts about a potential bed scene which I find fantastic (I'm not the only pervy girly!) but also a bit preemptive. Not often do you get people talking about a bed scene before the characters have actually kissed...or you know, dated...held hands even.

ANYWAY! It's a good sign! It means that we want one. They have to give us one. Where the viewers....we have some sort of power...right? RIGHT!?!

*sigh* I want a sexy scene so bad...but I want the sexual tension to go beyond normal tension bearing lengths...it's all very befuzzled!

I'm hoping that their tension will lead to Goong ep. 23 and Coffee Prince (pick a hug or kiss) type scenes where they kiss, hug, hold hands, MAKE EYE CONTACT, and everything around them sizzles into nothingness!

Though, am I the only one a little worried that if they even kiss, Dokko Jin will get a heart attack?

Sethe is quite right.

I in fact feel that the euphemism fall a bit short in properly describing my (and if I might be so bold, "our") ardor for CSW.

Perhaps we should start experimenting within literary convention:

Stream of consciousness? ....too graphic for lack of double takes....

Poetry? We have Jomo.

A lot more metaphor play? Naturally.

Thanks a lot JB for the superfast recap (did you start doing it while watching ?)

Makes me ask myself how your recap-process works :)

Well I loved this episode so much, laughed a lot at midnight time even I watched it raw again.

I thougt after the sad ending of Ep.6 it would slow down a little bit, would be more earnest. But no, Hong-Sisters showed left and knocked-out right again (some saying here)

I love CSW - he rocks. Even if he exaggerates in some scenes, he just compensates it immideately with a following scene.

He rocks thats for sure. How can someone act a scene so hilarious and so gravely at the same time - POTATOE scenes

God I was so amazed, caught between grinning and admiring severly

Am I the only one who is reminded by the POTATOE - MONOLOGUE to Shakespeares HAMLET - At least when you watch it RAW and understand 98% nothing it definatelly looks like the HAMLET-SKULL monologue.

Well thanks to CSW I will never be able to look at potatoes as a plain vegetable, food.

Boiled potatoes, Pommes-frites, Jacket-potatoes...I am lost.

Instead a bunch of roses I will ask my byofriend for a sack of potaoes in the future :P

This episode was full of hillarious scenes thanks to CSW

- DJ and PJ'S pink shoe rivalry
- shoe bidding (+PJ was so funny when he lost it)
- Karaoke Heartbreaker song (CSW is definately crazy to act like this)

And of course the making you AWWWWWWWW scenes

- CSW's frog lifting
- Putting Cinderellas shoe on scene (best cliche ever)
- save the last Potatoe
- Potatoe nursing (one potatoe for Valentine from now on - no roses - to keep it watered)

Loved this episode and cant wait till this evening for Ep.8

And JB will save the day tomorrow morning again :)

No it's not...

potatoe :

I.) The proper spelling of the starchy root-vegetable, according to then-vice-president Dan Quayle as he tried to correct a small child in spelling.

"Potato. P-o-t-a-t-o. Potato."
"Thats P-O-T-A-T-O-E you stupid kid!"
"Uh, Mr. Vice-president, the child was actually correct."
"Oh."

[from Wikipedia: His most famous blunder occurred when he mistakenly altered student William Figueroa's correct spelling of "potato" to "potatoe" at an elementary school spelling bee in Trenton, New Jersey, on June 15, 1992.[15][16] Although he was relying on cards provided by the school, which included the misspelling, Quayle was widely lambasted for his apparent inability to spell the word "potato". According to his memoirs, Quayle was uncomfortable with the version he gave, but did so because he decided to trust the school's incorrect written materials.]

II.) Japanese translation of the word 'emo.'

1. noun - a person who acts extremely depressed for attention
2. verb - to act like an emo, to act depressed
kid 1: "No one understands me!"

kid 2: "Don't be such a potatoe."

III.) As well as a vegtable, Potatoe is a code name word for alchohol. If you are talking about alchohol and dont want people such as parents or anyone to hear what you are talking about you can use this word.
Tony did you bring the potatoe for tonight?
