It’s true what you are saying, but… ‘inspired’ by Anthony I’ve been testing what it would mean for me to suddenly lose my sight. So… I close my eyes and go from my laptop to the kitchen to get some water or get a snack… Very difficult! Or, if I’m alone on the street with no [people to think i've gone mad] i close my eyes and try to walk. Then I think of all the things I would never be able to see again… It is a horrible predicament that Anthony is facing. Besides, mroe than anyone he know how hard it was to be around someone blind because of his mother. He also know how he hated and resented it. He fears that could happen with him and goeun. So, his behaviour is absolutely justified. It’s not nobel idiocy -it’s being just being noble and practical. In my family I have someone who is married toa blind man. They have a solid marriage, two kids, but to say that is is easy on either of them would be lying. They deal with it because they love each other and they don’t mope but bravely plough forward.

I’ve just finished watching Bad Family, and I realise that Oh Ji Eun actually appeared in ep1! Very small role, with just a few lines. No scene with KMM…

Sweet potatoes (kokuma) in Korea are eaten as a dessert or a healthy snack. In winter, you find sweet potatoes as street food everywhere. They smell and taste divine, nothing like potatoes but rather like chestnuts or roasted pumpkin. They are also made carmelized with black sesame seeds – yummy. Anyway, they are dessert and people associte the feelings of warmth, home and comfort with them. That he would change her name on his phone from ‘brat’ to ‘roasted sweet potato’ is a testament to his changed feelings for her.

I have to say: one of my fave fictional kisses ever. So much emotion, passion, intuition…uuuuh. You should watch the filming of the kiss on KBS website. It’s even more beautiful there, and I could swear both actors were affected by it.

I just checked out dramawiki and found out that Oh Ji Eun (the actress playing Sung Min-ah)’s debut was Bad Family! I’m only at ep2 of Bad Family, so I haven’t seen her appearance yet. I think her role would be small… wonder which ep she’d be in. Or if she’s in any scene with KMM…

I agree.
They set it up, relying on our previous experience at the pellet lever of dramas, and just as we have learned, the pellet drops in perfect time with our expectations.

KMM is a-DOR-able in Bad Family.
Everything he does makes me laugh or smile.
He is so consistently in character – from the way he walks, to his speech pattern, to the repetitious threatening language, his looks of surprise with his giant eyes.
(The Hand Towel should have learned from KMM that BIG eyes are for humor, not serious sagueks.)

Plus, you get scenes where his character has to try on another character’s way of walking and standing.
We see KMM pretending to be gangster Dal Gun pretending to be Kang Nam Gil’s character – Gi Dong with the glasses nose push and slumped shoulders.
It is delicious.

And nobody does the appreciate stare better than KMM. When he looks at JRW in KOD, or Lee Jiah in BV, or Sang Mi Nam in BF, you can feel his gaze like a caress. So beautiful to see his heart in his expression.
*sigh* says the fangirl.

Actually, Siwon really needs the haircut coz SJ-M, a sub unit of the KPop group he’s in, recently released a new album and the MV requires it. Hahah. Kudos to the writers for the quick thinking.

Melodrama. Er, I’m not sure what this means exactly but I think this blindness arc serves to address Anthony’s own personal growth though I guess the writer could have left him alone as a snarky overachiever. And though it is a commonly used trope, I don’t think it’s merely a plot device thrown in thoughtlessly.

I suspect all this is intentional. What’s left to wonder for me is why.

On another note, this episode squeezed a few tears outta me. I enjoyed it.
