Re: YB
I can’t believe you are doing the same like me. I wrote about it in an earlier post. Lol, I thought I was crazy. I open 2 tabs but side by side, JB recaps on the left hand side and YB episode on the right. But I have to ‘painfully’ wait a week for WithS2 subs. :-)

I hope after the ‘break’ TK and MN will get back together before ep16, at least at the end of ep15. Please, Hong sisters, spare us the high blood pressure! Seriously, at our age (cingdoc, you don’t have to cry, I am older than you), all this angst and sleep deprivition is not good for us. I waited for the torrent till midnight (my time), set it to download and set my alarm at 3.30am to check whether its downloading ok (internet connection goes off in the wee hrs sometimes) so that I could watch it in the morning before I go to work. I have already read ep13 spoilers from soompi thread (thanks to cecilia et al), watched the raws even before I brush my teeth lol. Then wait till lunch time when JB’s recaps are usually up.

Oh, btw, I love all the same ‘sqeee’ parts like you! I just go aaaaw when TK pat the pig-rabbit’s bum! Read that there may be a time jump, what say you, screenplayer? Lol

@ockoala
More pao pei scenes please if you have the time. Wanted to post a message for your video, so I tried signing up on youtube but my name was already taken! Hmm…

Ok, its about time that I go over and camp at soompi for all the titbits and crumps I can get as the members watched live and give a blow-by-blow account while viewing. How sweet and generous of them. If I can watch live, I will be hugging a big fat pillow with my eyes glued to the screen, mouth open, drooling… :-)

I thought I died & went to heaven when I saw Jang Geun Seok's boyish smile when he hugged GMN after the "confession" about liking a star inthis episode.

The preview for Ep 14 look very exciting! I was anticipating how the Hong sisters would bring this series to a bombastic end and keep us glued to it.

Thanks for your recaps JB! :-) I always look forwards to Thurs and Fri lunch breaks during work to sneak in a lil read of your recaps :-)

JGS' voice is addictive, just like his acting and YB. I keep replaying "Goodbye" and rewatching YB.......

Love his song "Goodbye". JGS sings better than a lot of idol boys!

I feel sorry for SW, but I like this episode a lot since TK and MN are getting closer and closer.......so sweet....

But good times would not last long. Episode 14 seems to be a sad one.....

I am feeling down already as YB is ending soon.

Words…words…words! Symbolism and metaphors! The Hong sisters are so good with these. I thought this episode was great in many levels. There were hilarious moments. There were sweet moments that made me squeal with happiness. But the Hong sisters sure know how to spin webs of excitement and beauty with their choice of words. For example, some of the cruel things TK said to MN in episode 12 was reversed this episode:

MN: You won’t be taken aback and feel bad?
TK: …But it’s not bad (reversal of piano scene with MN crying)

And when he gave her the pin: I can clearly see you as a girl (reversal of TK and HY’s conversation after the kiss).

I love the fan club questionnaire scene. So hilarious! I couldn’t stop laughing at TK’s reactions especially the hiccup with the ‘2’. And of course his reaction to the ‘100’ was priceless. I’m so, so happy to see so many smiley JGS in this episode. MN sure brings out the best in TK. Like everyone that commented, I’m glad he acted on his feelings in the end. Though I sure hope he explains to her what he meant with ‘I give you the same score’ because we know MN is really dense when it comes to love talk, no matter how beautiful and poetic the words.

I agree with JB about SW. His acting sure improved and I could feel every emotion he was feeling. That fairy tale love story was beautiful. I was all mushy listening to it but also sad knowing it was just make-believe. I really felt bad for SW. And when HY did that despicable act, I so wanted to slug her for SW sake. You know they don’t really have a chance when MN didn’t know what to do to comfort him. She sure did lots to comfort TK. But I did wonder though if TK did not show up in the last scene, would MN have considered SW’s proposition? After all, realistically, SW is right. She can’t keep having a one-sided love for TK (not knowing of course it’s not one-sided at that point).

Tomorrow’s episode seems to be full of angst….Jeremy/MN and the boys, MN and MHR, TK and MN. It looks like MN will be mad at MHR. She now has two reasons to hate her – i) for killing her mum and ii) for hurting TK so much. But TK, aigoo, without knowing the whole truth, channels his hate for his mum abandoning him towards MN, without even wanting to hear the truth. Though I’m really hoping the Hong sisters will do the unexpected again and it’s just MN imagining things. Boo…hoo…Between that and Jeremy crying, I’m getting ready my box of tissue.

I have lots of thoughts circling in my mind but will stop now. Thank you all for letting me unload.

Oh…I agree with those who mentioned this, they should have TK remade “Fly Me to the Moon” for the second OST too. His voice was like silk singing that song. Is it possible to be in love with a voice?
