oh you are right this is such a great episode, nothing gloomy at all. This series can be one of those that you want to buy the dvd and keep it for those moments when you need a good kick on the rear to do the right things in life......mind you am not much of a preacher or like to hear it, but is fun in this drama. Thank you so much for these summaries. I wonder what we'll watch next, i feel a void already.

Is this the fastest review you've ever done? I mean this episode was only shown less than 24 hours ago. Thanks once again for helping non-korean speakers like me catch up with what's happening with our favourite kdramas. Edit: Gee I like that timer countdown showing the time left for changes to be made to comments.

Nice job on the music taste! :) I was looking for house rulez bc my lastest obsession is Clazziquai and all that sounds similar or just fun sounding, thus i stumbled upon your blog. I'm not really sure how to download off of this site, but i just wanted to comment and say nice choice of music.

Thanks for your lovely summary javabeans :). Always read them, even when I'm not watching the drama.

*SOULMATE SPOILER WARNINGS AHEAD*

Anyways, I just finished watching Soulmate on your recommendation, and I have returned to rave about it XD. First of all, I think Soulmate had some of the best scenes I've ever watched in TV ever. One immediately comes to mind: when Su-Gyeong frantically dials a random number after her break up with phil, and ends up calling Dong Wook on the second try by chance. That scene was so incredibly well done, and if the song "C'mon through" was good before, the scene made it golden. Perfect. There are other scenes that I absolutely loved...but the one I just mentioned immediately comes to mind. On top of that, I liked how the drama played with time... very original, and very skillfully done.

I was also impressed by how the writers/producers dealt with Min-Ae's character. They didn't turn her into a monster, but at the same time they didn't make excuses for her. I never felt like the writers were trying to force me to demonize her for her questionable actions or asking me to symapthize with her when these actions come back to haunt her later (which reminds me of another incredibly well done scene at the dinner table, where Su-Gyeong and Min-Ae come face-to-face, and Su Gyeong tells her there's no need to feel sorry for her).

And another interesting thing i have to mention. I seriously enjoyed the irony of Su-Gyeong's situations ... Min-Ae stole Su Gyeong's man, and after going through the pain of losing her lover, Su Gyeong found herself putting Yu Jin in the same position. It just added an extra layer of complexity and irony to the whole thing.

Anyways, haha, sorry... after finishing soulmate, I just HAD to talk about it with (or at XD) someone and get my thoughts out. Thanks for the recommendation! Now...on to find a drama just as entertaining....

Aww man, they always pull that one out as a cliff hanger. I'm glad to see this show has gotten its funny bone back. RSY is so earnest, you can't help falling for what he has to say. He has this element of sincerity that allows him to pull off those cheesy lines. I agree with djes about the Korean child actors. They're so frapping adorable!

Thank you for the summary, I loveeeee this blog.

mr. velvet-voice's voice reminds me of bae yong jun's! anyway, thanks for the quick recap javabeans

OMG Sarah! Hahaha.. okay, at first I didn't get it,... this part: (I think Dang Ja’s people are drunk. HA!) But then, LOL! I looked at the picture, and DING! I crack up in the middle of the night like this, hahaha... so true. You paid attention to this much detail.. *clap clap* XD
Oh, and I officially hate Jung Suk now... she's so... blah. Hopefully they'll erase her soon! lol.

i so agree with you that Ryu Soo Young has done an excellent job in portraying his character. i'm watching this drama with subs (only on ep.6) and the lines he has to say are overly cheesy and sappy...they sometimes make my skin crawl cause they're sooo lovey-dovey and childish, but RSY definitely makes it convincing that his character really mean those unbearably hard-to-handle love lines. props to him. honestly, the things he say really make me squint my face and eyes and question if anyone ever says those lines anymore. haha. thanks for the summary...you're pretty quick today huh? thank you.
oh and i know this sounds totally random, but the editing ability on this comment-making process is really cool.
