Extraordinary You ep 9 mini rant

I thought this week’s eps would go back to being interesting. Nope. Last week I complained about DO becoming a Candy because she cried a lot and didn’t question anything, Beanies said she was also upset because she couldn’t change her fate. Well, Old Haru is back and now the girl is crazy happy even though her fate remains the same. I guess people will just say it’s because she accepted it. I prefered Haru as tool of action instead of these boring scenes about stuffing him and kissing him. Haru came back but still has the same daydreamer stare even when he is supposed to be in an emotional moment. This is so different from being controlled, compare with the ML in My Ahjussi. Lots of scenes from BOF keep happening without any purpose as if EY itself has no plot. I also detest when DO uses her aegyo voice and pouts, she does that a lot near Haru. I don’t get why she is so nice to Sae-Mi which is a moron. Kyung is still a jerk but at least he is a jerk who asks questions.

    Kyung actually said a very good thing episode ago. “How is you building your whole destiny around one guy any different from what you are doing on stage?”. The main loveline is just that right now. They are cute, but that’s it. I don’t even see any depth or development- Haru and Danoh loved each other from day one (and I have no idea how it took Danoh 7 episodes to name that feeling).

      I’m glad not to be the only one frustrated w the excessive amount of aegyo in the last 2 eps of this week or our once fiesty & clever Dan Oh not being able to clearly express her feelings for Haru. And don’t get me started about how Haru switched from being very self-conscious and shy, to now being Mr. Swoon all the time. Yes, he looks good doing it and I’d rather have fluff than angst but… Aaarrrgh !

      I am much more interested in scenes with self-aware Ju Da and oblivious Do Hwa, now.

      Or Kyung doing some great detective work, as he slowly regresses to secondary role in Dan Oh & Haru’s apparently-scripted love story.

        I am SO interested in JuDa/DoHwa line. She obviously likes him, but doesn’t persua him, probably thinking it wouldn’t matter at the end of the day. Also, why isn’t she letting him know about her awareness? so that she wouldn’t have to officially reject him? Their story is so interesting, every episode I change my mind about JuDa’s motivation

          yes! I am very curious as to why she’s not telling him that she’s self-aware, especially since he makes all these “scene”, “writer” and “shadow” references around her ALL the time, so SHE should know that HE’s self-aware (too)!
          I’m very very curious.

        I can’t believe there would come a day when Juda and Kyung are the ones who hold my attention in this drama. They are so much more interesting and layered now.
