Wedding Photos!

I quite like the wedding photos because all the places they took it are places that meant something to them and contain memories.

Must say I prefer Hyung Sik's hair in straight. Curly was cute/handsome too but straight seems to be even more handsome!

Episode 4 is soooo good! I love that there are a mixture of emotions I am feeling in this episode - amusement, laughter, sadness, fluttering heart (at Kim Soo Hyun throwing the bike). And LMAO, the writer wrote Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin falling in love into her script! Can't not think of @Chocolate because of that. Haha.

Clearly, Hyun Woo loves Hae In, and he is just in denial. I'm in no rush for him to realise/admit his feelings because I'm enjoying the push and pull right now. Not sure how significant the epilogue really is, and doesn't seem like both remember each other. The only point I see to it now is Hyun Woo had been there with Hae In in moment(s) she's in need.

To be honest, I can relate to Hyun Woo's feelings towards the Hong family. As we have seen, Hae In's mother doesn't hide her dislikes towards Hyun Woo. I can imagine how much she would berate Hyun Woo in the last 3 years by seeing how she takes it out on Hae In. Add the rest of the family doing the same, too. Soo Cheol has no respect for Hyun Woo as well. I'm looking forward to a scene where Hyun Woo put him in his place one day. Hmph.

Love love love the ending scene. That whole conversation was just great. At that moment, both were back to being honest with their feelings/thoughts and communicating. But looks like the villagers ruined it for them the next day by spilling the beans on the divorce. Aish. Fine. I can deal with more angst.

Obviously I feel emotional again on rewatch of the baby scene. The contrast of how happy Hyun Woo was when he found out the news vs present time. And then there's that scene where Mum tells them to have a baby and Hae In answered it in such a cold ways. How could they have a baby and be asked to leave the country when he was the happiest to learn about the pregnancy before?

What the heck is Eun Seong plotting? Looks to me he is trying to absorb Queens and take over. Who is that other man again? I think he has appeared before in the previous episodes, but I can't remember! Did Eun Seong lose his family because of Queens Group?

@abs-oluteM This drama has already become my crack. I stayed up to watch the recaps/cut clips. Look forward to the drama unfolding what happened between them in the last 3 years. The lost of baby was a huge surprise from my end, and heartbreaking. There may be more backstory to it, like how the miscarriage happened, and how it affects their relationship. Hyun Woo is now sleeping in the supposedly baby room and it hurts to know how both never really forgot "Soo Bin" and hid this through a passcode (Hae In) and a fluorescent sticker on the ceiling (Hyun Woo). Kim Soo Hyun did a really good job bringing out this painful emotion.

I still need to watch this episode fully. 

P.S. how hot was Kim Soo Hyun throwing the bike to the side! 😍🥰

OST 3 Heize

Jeong Woo buying a whole set of jewelleries, even a tiara. That's not how one should be spending the money! He should just buy a house! Anyway, I had a good laugh again especially when the girls got drunk and both boys piggyback them. One of the favourite things I like about this drama is each pairing and how everything they get together there are funny stuff happening. Hong Ran siding Dae Young vs Ha Neul siding Jeong Woo. LOL. Look forward to more bickering in the future (though we won't see it anymore).

The blessing from the daughter is so smooth sailing, I'm not sure it should be this way...

Episode 3

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Kim Soo Hyun is so handsome in this episode, especially through Hae In's eyes. She represents all of Kim Soo Hyun's fans. Hehe. And love how Aunt admits to being fluttered by Hyun Woo too

Funny how clueless Hyun Woo was with Hae In in the past. It's mainly because he's not a big city boy, and pays no attention to fashion that he did not realise everything Hae In wore was branded. Though I've noticed, he's got a habit of not letting Hae In speak, which resulted in growing misunderstanding. Of course Hae In has plenty of opportunity to set the record straight; however, I do think she liked the idea that he likes her without knowing her background.

Hyun Woo thinks he's lost his affection/love for Hae In, but he said so himself, he jumped in to save Hae In out of instinct. And Eun Seong lied to Hae In he hesitated. 😤

It's clear that Hyun Woo is an all-rounder-good-at-everything kind of man. Totally loved the bit where Father-in-law compared Baek Sobang to his son re: firewood. LMAO. Coupled with last week's information and everyone being impressed with Hyun Woo, the family must not think highly of Hyun Woo from the get-go and see him as unworthy of marrying their daughter. Glad to see their perspectives changing. This incident also showed us mum does care about Hae In. She ran to see her after learning the news.

Now, did that annoying butler/gossiper/matchmaker (who is she anyway?) work with Yoon Eun Seong in releasing the wild boar?That explains why he intruded the grounds he shouldn't. Also, Eun Seong sounds like a psychopath. That said, I need to remind myself this writer doesn't write very good villain. They may "seem" deadly and dangerous at first, but the way they dealt with things aren't always the smartest, and the villains' ending across multiple projects were always lacklustre.

Mistress Moh Seul Hee, I can only say "woah" with her move on the shaman's warning. Now she has Hong Man Dae at the palm of her hand due to the wild boar incident. Not sure whether it meant anything, but is there something behind Chairman's: "My parents passed away when I was 15"

Soo Cheaol's wife, LOL, can't wait to see her reveal her true self. She didn't want Soo Cheol to post her photos on social media also suggests she lied about her family background. She's likely not from any well-off or high society family.

Hahaha, yes, I often have free tickets to watch Korean films through work etc. I've seen the trailers for Exhuma, but it looks scary!! It's horror right? I avoid horror if I can unless it's a zombie movie  Are you going to watch it?

It is a thriller. They always make thriller look like horror in trailers. I might watch it tomorrow if I can muster the motivation to get out of the house 😂

Kim Soo Hyun said in You Quiz on the Block that his role has a lot of Chun Song Yi (My Love From the Star) in it and he thought it was hard - so he is amazed even more JJH pulled it off with her comedic scenes. It does seem like now he's Chun Song Yi and Ji Won is Do Ming Joon (the cold one) in this context.

I definitely feel like she's going to find out about these hurtful things later (given that he had prepared the divorce papers with dates and told his friends and family that he was going to divorce her...someone is going to let something slip!)

Someone on Weibo translated his divorce paper. One of the points he proposed is that they keep their own assets after the divorce. At least this part, it was fair, and unlikely make things worse if she sees the divorce paper later.

What cruel fans. But it is true that in the first 2 episodes there were a lot of drunken tears

Hahaha! God knows why his fans love watching him cry. He's always had very ugly crying face. 😆

@JenL Do you still go to cinema to watch Asian movies? Exhuma is playing in the cinema now. I'm contemplating of going. You probably won't go coz of KGE. Haha. Yeah? But I'm curious because it's doing very well in Korea.

Coming, coming....!! I promise I will start tonight.

I've been soooo busy lately. Can you believe I'm only watching one drama now?!? Really miss hanging out in JH and being lost in dramaland....   

Yes I can. At one point, I have one drama left...!

Oh noooo! They re-cast Jia Xu and Sang Zhi too!

@Maya CRIESSSSSSS

Episode 5-6

I didn't pay much attention to episode 5 until Tae Oh was hit in the head. The boy suddenly had an epiphany after going through life and death. That kiss was so not needed, coz now it puts himself in jeorpady.

I don't know why Kdrama always write this stupid scenario where the lead character declare his intention before striking his enemy. When you let your enemy know you are out to get them, you yourself must watch your back! /facepalm.

Errr... did In Ha send Hye Won's mother deliberately to make her feel desperate again so that Hye Won would go back to him?! I feel like rather than being used by Tae Oh or Hye Won, In Ha himself is also counter-using Tae Oh and scheming to make Hye Won stay with him.

As for the ending, OK, at least it is neither Hye Won nor In Ha. But why oh why Tae Oh is there and unconscious? Next week is finale, right? Hope it's a good one and no open ending. I have enough of open ending and hint to S2. Don't need it.

Hui Joo continues to be annoying, bratty and useless.

Oh @JenL I was admiring Jae Wook's long fingers when he's unconscious.

Have you watched it or are you planning to watch it?

 

I feel that at the point of the show ending, there were still many “loose ends” the king needed to get through. He was only 9 months in from the point when he started to clean the house. Being the type of monarch that he was, I am certain he would not indulge in his own desires; she was also not the sort who would put her own desires above that of the state as well - she too wanted to return to her father in Qing. 
 

But me being me and always wanting to complete the story myself, I would imagine that if the story were to continue, Mongwoo would manage to establish a good relationship with the new Emperor of Qing and like Lee In before her, be discharged from the Qing court to return to Joseon. There would be no need for any spies to be left in Qing so father will also return. Lee In will restore her father back to his court; Mongwoo will also return to her position as Heesoo. Should anyone ask or suspect her of the “crime” of cross dressing, he would simply give the unsaid impression that it was all under his own plans that the family - father and daughter - was appointed to do his work. But no one would dare ask the King for fear of suggesting that he would allow something “wrong” to be done, and so it would go silent. As far as the Qing court is concerned, Gidaeryeong had been dismissed from the Joseon court and never returned. Lee In then abdicates his position as King to finally hand the throne over to his nephew as he had always planned since the court would now be filled with trustworthy men. Then he marries her and live simply as “normal” nobility out of the palace.

 

Tadah. 

Haven't watched. Wondering if I should even bother because I don't want to start if the ending isn't satisfying.
