  1. @mademoiselle But I pity my dearest PSH . He got so many delulu fans & shippers of the main leads writing nasty comments on his IG & to his agency’s social media that it really upset me . I don’t have SLS here as in I truly love the main pair getting together but these fans no need to be so mean to him . He was just doing his job . The fact he had to say this was funny but also sad . 😭

  2. I love the end when they arm twisted the Chief do donate the reward to the orphans. :laugh: I also love the emotional plea they made to the police officer to let them go when the Chief ordered them to be locked up. Anyway this was another really fun episode showcasing the teamwork between this newly minted group.  Nice to see the younger ones pulling their weight - the smart kid especially will make fab detective because of how he thinks. What was also nice was seeing HyeJoo involved in this case unwittingly and she used her "acting" skills to distract the thieves.

     

    The romance took off fast. Young Han is a scatter brain - very sanguine personality. He almost forgot to go for their movie date again , lol! I love though how they showed their relationship develop and when he threw his body to save her in the car chase , I was certain it would seal the deal. The love triangle also died a natural death when they all find out that YH and HJ  like each other. This is good cause I don't see the need for unnecessary romantic entanglements in a show like this. Anyway according to Seo EunSoo in her Harper's Bazaar pictorial for this show, she says that HyeJoo is a straightforward person with a lot of inner strength who will do her best to protect YoungHan who will become her husband. So I think we will see their married lives as the story progress. 

     

    Tonight's case involves child trafficking?

    A new couple ? XiaXia and Big Brother Cui...the shopping scene was hilarious...:laugh:

    Dong is more smiling but when he saw Jitong and ZJ in that restaurant he became serious again.

    Yes...I am glad we see more of Xia Xia. This actress is quite good - have seen her in reality TV programme and she's capable of doing lead roles.  Big Bro Cui is like the local gangster head in Nanping right?

     

     

    Dong's jealousy was so good . I am glad that the leads are getting annoyed because that shows there are feelings there. Hehe. But how in the world did ZJ even like someone like Jitong. He's so full of himself and such a prick. He's got that face you wanna slap. 

     

    Hahahah this is hilarious 

     Think we should get this kiss soon

  4. I guess when Hae in lost her memories, she also forgot how to use the internet. In this day & age surely she can find out who Hyun Woo is. 😂😂.  Given how famous she is , am sure her secretary can google stuff for her to see. It’s cute she’s naturally drawin to him despite not having any memories of their past .

    She shows her true colors to Uri. He already started to like Suji

    I was so happy in last night's episode when he reject her outright. He's also very suspicious of her relationship to Suji since she tends to react alot whenever Suji is in the picture. It really helps that WooRi does his profession justice - he's very perceptive of things and draws the line when he has to. What is so funny is that the relationship between him and Hyun Sung are developing faster than it is with SuJi :laugh:. Lonely & lost HS needs a friend but poor Woori ...ahahah imagine having to hear about the relationship issues of the girl you like.

    Shooting Stars

    I finished ep 3 and it is a very good drama, different from other Republican dramas.

    The plot is unpredictable and interesting.

    The ML and the little girl are so adorable, she is smart and brave. 

    I am tempted to start this for LiXian. Maybe I have this crush on him  :laugh:...but okay I need to see how you feel after more episodes as I am a little bit allergic to Republican shows. I always start but cannot finish partly due to the propaganda.

     

    Did you watch this one? Meet Yourself. It was on my timeline a lot last year but I didn't check it out. Now because of LiXian, I am motivated to do so :hug:

     

    This FMV has spoilers but the setting is just beautiful. LX has good chemistry with the FL here too. A lot of reviews say it is a very nice slice of life with a slow paced romance. 

     

    I am checking this short drama out on Youku . The lead from Secrets Shadow Sect  ....let's see how it goes

    LOL @abs-oluteM @SilverMoonTea He really becomes Hulk!!! :lmao2:

    Heyyyy, maybe PM is also sick, so seeking cure for his illness.

    Why are we not surprised. This does open the technology to many possibilities but also abuse...I mean in the wrong hands, you can be creating super soldiers to conquer the world or to do your bidding. 

     

    On one hand , I am not against the ability to grow new organs. I know first hand how crucial that is in saving lives . At the same time , there are so  many ethical issues that has to be looked into, regulations that has to be in place and also the potential of it being used for the wrong reasons need to be considered.

    One of my close girlfriends had kidney failure in her 30s and it took her over a decade to finally go for transplant. She had hesitated because only her dad was the most suitable donor - she didn't want him to go through an operation since he was quite old. But after so many years of  dialysis - with so much damage to her veins etc, the doc said she had to. So finally she did it but there was so much concern about organ rejection etc. Thankfully it is okay though she still has to be very careful and take lots of meds/ drugs.  Imagine though if a technology like this is available, she wouldn't have to feel so conflicted.

  9. @rocher22 I was so surprised that they released 3 episodes last night - I had expected only one . But no complaints & it was a good thing too since it was to give closure to Uncle He’s death. 
     

    I am in love with this show. It’s not just the romance - it’s how the relationships & conversations are written. A lot of shows claim to be slice of life but don’t quite cut it . This show though takes a realistic perspective about life & death without downplaying things but it doesn’t make it too dark. Through CMD’s views on death  when he spoke to  ZJ ( telling her how he became an embalmer ) , and through how he explained death & grief  to lil sis Niao Niao , I feel a sense of comfort myself.

    Seems the three generation villain (?) are totally not align with each other.

    The 3 generations probably wanted different things. Grandpa probably wants a normal life with a pair of legs & old glory. Dad wants immortality, and he's the most suspicious and could be responsible for the bombing. PM does seem to take a liking to Ja Yu, but I also wonder if he was just trying to get her romantically, so in the end, all is his. I don't remember PM injecting himself with something. I just saw the camera emphasises on a medicine container falling out of his pocket.

    I think that PM and grandpa are somewhat on the same team but dad has his own agenda. Dad being the ex SIL to grandpa is not on the best of terms with the old man. 
     

    Yes, PM has a fondness for JaYu, not just admiration for her capabilities.

     

    Interesting that her PA (legal advisor) is not in her most inner circle. Understandably, the less people know about BF's true capabilities the safer it would be. Those who are in the know are all the scientists & the tech guy. But I wonder if the PA feeling left out , would become a problem later.

  11. I think I understand why he's been putting up that wall. It's because he fears being abandoned. That is the running theme of this show. The young people who leave for greener pastures and never return . His parents marriage issues and how they left him there with grandma. Her leaving for Shanghai after he had gotten so attached to her during high school. Even his career is about preparing a person for their final journey where they will not return. I cry thinking about this.

     

    So for him to take this step to open his heart - sending her off, responding to her kiss took a lot of courage. By the way it is no wonder the whole town knew. I like this cut I got off weibo ...that was a pretty good first kiss ! 

    Spoiler

     

    But whatever excitement I had in eps 5 and even in upcoming eps 6 was dampened with the preview in eps 7 

    Spoiler

    OMG...I can't believe Uncle He died. I cried just seeing the preview

  12. Unbelievable that I am up to date till eps 20  :laugh:, and that was without doubt the best episode. True it took 20 episodes for anything remotely romantic to take place between the leads but all the build up felt kind of worth it. I still hate 70% of the characters but I feel like I can finally ship the main pair romantically and will hang on.

     

    Ep 20 

    Spoiler

    WR saw the sisters argument at the hospital rooftop with NY pulling SJ's hair. He intervened and NY ran off. SJ refused to say more and told him that there are things that she doesn't want to let anyone know and he gentlemanly apologized  & backed off (after making sure she was ok.) 

     

    NY called him later wanting to explain but he told her it wasn't his business, and that it was not necessary to tell him. She was frustrated that he didn't seem to care so she tried to tell him that SJ was the one stealing her spot as the new host for the TV programme. But WR told her that it was impossible as he knew that SJ has been quitting all her outside activities to focus on her patients. I was glad he drew the line with NY and that he defended SJ.

     

    SJ and WR were on night shift and both ended up sleeping in the doctor's lounge. She was troubled and he started talking to her and his soothing voice helped her sleep. Next morning , Hyun Sung saw them - he had come over to bring porridge for her. He was jealous but nevertheless offered porridge to WR too. It's interesting because there are so many scenes now of the 3 of them. LOL

     

    Anyway, SJ's father has gotten into some trouble and since he had been using SJ's fame and name to sell his franchise or whatever, the investors came to the hospital demanding to see SJ since the felt her dad scammed them. Long story short while HS went to calm the inv estors, WR grabbed SJ and took her to hide in the store room. I guess this is going to be the moment sparks will be ignited . :hug:

    like how ZJ teases Chen but not in an annoying way. 

    Yay I am so glad I have your company for this show. I love it when she pushes his buttons. He's gonna cave in soon - she's got such an engaging smile and warm personality that it would be impossible to stay so aloof.

     

    My fave scene from eps 3 was this when grandma told them both that they are destined. The horror on his face :laugh:

    I have only seen Li Xian from Medical Examiner Dr Qin but that was eons ago and I can't remember much of him . Pleasantly surprised by how attractive I find him here. ZYT is a pretty good actress - last saw her in that tennis drama with WuLei. Though I found her a bit of mismatch with WL. She has better chemie here with Li Xian.

     this may be something you guys can check out when you have time. Promising slice of life - romance.  Slated for 21 episodes - so pacing is fast and the story telling is nice. Pretty cinematography too.

  14. @peperomia:shocked2:....I am shocked. The twists are all unexpected. I consider myself a season crime drama viewer but the writer had me here. Just as I thought that Jung Won was going to be able to get a fresh start in life, I didn't see her

    Spoiler

    ....being pregnant with the devil's child. LOL I was wondering quite a bit about how quickly they caught both YYY and SooRim. So at least now there's so much more to the story and this ties back to Zeus and his sister Hari. High chance now that Woo Jae killed her right? 

     

    I am actually happy with this development because it would make me feel better that Jang Seung Jo took on a role that had plenty of layers. If if just ended with him being a loser who had a lot of insecurity issues , it would annoy me more. 

     

    A little bit sorry for Tae Heon  who was over the moon that he had a second chance with Jung Won. I was prepared to accept this romance but now it has gotten too messy. I am sure that Woo Jae is going to become very difficult if Jung Won refuses to keep the baby and the marriage. 

     

     

    @mademoiselle YYY and the murder is just the tip of the iceberg here. The plot twists and reveals were things I could not have predicted.
