    Drawn on facial hair if fine, but if we are to believe that is “real” in the drama how does he “shave” what kind of timmer was available in Joseon.

    If you’re talking about what I think you want to talk about, please go ahead here and tag the post as spoiler.

    Alternatively, there’s a whole bunch of us “processing” in a tucked away space that Seon-ha created. We can tag you there if you want to join.

      I”m definitely processing.

      Thanks for reaching out!

      It was all working for me until it didn’t. I’m a bit tired, I didn’t get to start the episode until late. And now it super late in my time zone. Otherwise I’d hang with the rest of you. But I think I’ll just sleep tonight and catch up tomorrow.

      lots of hearts!!!

HEARTBEAT keeps raising the stakes but still hasn’t answered the most important question:

Where is the gold?

The butler didn’t know, but maybe you do! Enter the HEARTBEAT Office Pool (see rules below) by tucking all your prophecies neatly into the replies, so as not to spoil anything for future HeartBeat lovers.
The correct answer will win the Eye Mask of Omniscience and gloating rights over us mere mortals.

    HEARTBEAT Office Pool Rules: Debate to your hearts content but you must choose only ONE answer or entry. More than one person may “bet” on the same entry.

    All entries must be received and finalized by 2pm (your time zone) of the air date for Episode 15. You have up until then to change your mind but after 2pm 14 Aug, no further entries will be received.

    Yes! You may change your previous entry.

    Please make sure that your bet is clear to Margo or she may toss out your entry (so picky that Margo). Margo is the final decider of any things that may need deciding.

    Feel free to invite more players. A lovely imaginary Eye Mask of Omniscience is on the line!
    Finally, always remember: You may already be a winner!

    This is where things currently stand with the HEARTBEAT office pool. You may re-consider your previous entry. Choose ONLY ONE and clarify your entry by 2pm Aug 14 please:

    @emsel: Sang-Hae and Dong Seob have it and don’t realize it

      I’m sticking with floorboards, but the watch mention totally got my attention, too.

      I don’t think my entry will be correct. But I stand by it as it adds diversity to the pool.

      Also, yes, Seon-ha. I had the same thought. But then he denied knowledge of the gold so…

      I’m going out on a real wild limb and guessing it’s with Rose somehow, either with her knowledge or without!

      Hidden in the old furniture. Thank you Margo!!

      Ooh these are all great guesses! Will it be something silly, like Cat-man hocking it to buy lint rollers and Bonito flakes? Stolen by someone renovating for the guesthouse?

      I’m thinking combo suit/family vault. Pre-nap Butler Joo (or In-hae’s grandfather? however many butlers there were in 100yrs lol) moved the gold to a deposit box and gave a paper with instructions that In-hae’s dad put in the suit. This would require Grandfather Joo to be a terrible communicator since In-hae’s dad knows nothing of the gold but such is drama life 🙈

      I’m betting on under the daffodils even if there were newly planted ones

    I maintain my entry, @fancypants.

    However (하지만), did anyone else hear meaning when Old Butler Joo said, “My greatest treasure is in this watch” (I’m paraphrasing)? I know he “meant” that photo of his wife and In-hae, but still…My Sherlock Vampire ears perked the hell up….

    So campy and yet so much heart. Campy melo. Is that a genre?

      I think it will be an unpopular opinion on tomorrow’s recap thread, but I loved these episodes!! Like you said, so much heart. And the show really hasn’t gone as dark as it could – the plot points are there, but the tone stays warm. ❤️ Campy melo SHOULD be a genre!

        I don’t think it was dark at all. Ep 13 was kinda mopey but still laughed. And Ep 14 was so actiony! I whooped when the Fang Gang dropped out from nowhere to take on Man-whi.

        I agree. The overall tone is very warm.

        I’m on the fence. Still processing. I may/may not be squaring off against you, my friend. But still very much invested.

      This took me back to the campy action scenes of the beginning of the show. It was nice to laugh with/at the show again.

        omo….at the end of ep 13 when the bars slammed down and BOUNCED ! like a rubber ball ! Well, I knew we were well past angst at that point.

          But we weren’t, right? Off he goes, noble sacrificing and all that. Tho I have to say, those final shots of him… Was he on some boulders or a cliff—gasp—of doom? And she be running randomly on the streets.

          Anyway, it felt soooo retro melo, I couldn’t take it seriously at all. And that’s a compliment. Perfect for the show’s ol school vibes.

            I see your point. But since the stakes are kill her or die, it doesn’t fall into the noble idiot realm for me. I keep thinking I’ve teleported to Harry Potter “one cannot live while the other survives”… I cannot take it seriously. Nor do I think we’re supposed to. Nor do I believe that is the actual answer.

            And yes! Where does this woman think she is running!? I hope she yells at him when she finds him. I was missing her sass these episodes. I think it was the concussion.

            The BOUNCE seemed to pull it out of it’s mopey pacing. The gangs all together and people are actually communicating after an episode of being weird.
