BTW, I am moving my office by the end of the month, and then I'll be looking for a job, so I might not be able to tend to this thread on a regular basis. I'll do my best, but if you want to watch something else and put this on the back burner for awhile, well, that works out fine for me.

Ep.6 - Minjoon manages to elude the cop, but he is stopped in his building lobby by suspicious security officers, closing the barn door after the horse escaped. Upstairs, Jaekyung finds out what Songyi knows, acts like a creep and just as he asks her about her sleeping pills, Hyekyung comes banging on the door. JK leaves, but then Minjoon bangs on the door, throws HK out and scolds Songyi for allowing strangers to come in. She throws both HK and MJ out on their ears. Later, we see Jaekyung at the animal shelter where he volunteers, discussing putting down a dog using an anesthetic, the one that Songyi accidentally said she was taking before. Again--creepy guy.
Songyi wants to return Yoora’s purse at the funeral, but she is egged by fans and the family won’t let her in. At her management office, she “fires” her boss (after he refused to re-up her contract). Later, when Songyi is trapped by reporters at the school but rescued by Minjoon, she pretends he’s her manager, then hires Minjoon to be her bodyguard “or something.” He accepts.
Semi, who pretended to Songyi that she refused Songyi’s role on the drama they both were on (but was caught lying by Songyi), happens into her DA brother’s room, where she sees a photo of Minjoon on the boat. She’s shocked, because she has a photo she took of the mysterious man who rescued Songyi 14 years ago, and she can plainly see it’s the same man.
Hyekyung rents out an amusement park for Songyi’s birthday then has to scale back the celebration and just pretend the park is empty because it is cold out, because she tells him only a jerk acts like that. (He also is surprisingly naïve about problems his absence will cause at his workplace.)
Minjoon, who earlier has told his friend he thinks the whole situation with Yihwa is playing out again, is more and more reminded of what happened with Yihwa. When he takes her to the school museum (full of objects that he anonymously donated), she tells him Yihwa’s hair ornament inexplicably makes her sad. He becomes so sad about leaving her that when he listens in on a conversation between Songyi and Hyekyung (at the amusement park), where Hyekyung proposes to her, Minjoon stops time before she can answer HK. He just can’t bear to hear what she’ll say. He walks out of the park.
Epilog: This may actually come from a later episode, but they play it like an old-timey movie. It's about a note Songyi receives from her old manager, telling her new manager all about how to manage Songyi's career. It's affectionate and cute.

Tales of Yihwa, Ep.6
After leaving her father’s home, Yihwa tries to escape from Minjoon so he won’t be arrested, but he insists they go on together. However, the police inexorably follow, chasing them to the inevitable impassible sageuk cliff. She tells him she loves him and hands over her hair ornament. The police want to arrest both alive, but when a too-weak Minjoon tries to fight them off with his mind, they decide to shoot him. Yihwa throws herself in front of Minjoon, taking several arrows to the back and dying in his arms. And so comes the tragic ending to Yihwa’s life, an ending Minjoon can hardly bear to think about, even today.

I watched all of Ep.7 two weeks ago, but haven't even had time to write up a synopsis (which means I'll have to re-view it Dang It lol...). Who knew being out of work was more work than working?
Talk with you all when I get a breath. Miss you guys.

Seventh Record – Minjoon leaves the amusement park because he doesn’t want to hear Songyi tell Hyekyung that she’ll marry him, but she somehow felt M-J stopping time and changes her mind from "Yes" to "No"--because she doesn’t want to be a jerk. Hyekyung is just delighted that she got as far as even thinking to say Yes.
Songyi’s mom and brother break into her apartment. They also accept a messenger package containing a dead rat, with S-Y's photo and the warning, “You’ll die next.” Bro chases the motorcycle messenger but is eluded. Mom won’t let them call the cops because everything Songyi does will be misconstrued by the public. Songyi points out a teddy bear from a fan (where’d that come from?), saying not everyone hates her.
Songyi’s mom is furious with her for not accepting Hyekyung, but Minjoon is thrilled. He grudgingly agrees to be her manager “for real.” She tells him about the rat and also the earlier photo with “bloody eyes” which was actually a photo of Yoora (I thought it was Songyi). Also, Minjoon finally gets a cellphone so she can reach him.
Minjoon is questioned by the police, but it’s undeniable that his apartment building CCTV has him coming in but not going out, and also, how would he have gotten on a boat at sea? Semi tries to find out about the mysterious stranger from her brother, but doesn’t say she saw the guy before. She meets Hyekyung at a bar, drinking his sorrows over Songyi, and tells him about the photos, but he’s passed out and doesn’t hear.
Songyi overhears (on the phone) Semi receiving immoderate praise from the director of the drama. She thinks Semi is unconvincing (me too) when she later watches and is certain that Semi will fail. But she doesn’t, she gets higher ratings than Songyi had. Songyi’s old manager Beom later tells her he can hardly stand working for Semi because she’s so nice to him. Songyi promises she’ll abuse him later.
Beom has brought Yoora’s purse to Songyi, who left it in the car after the funeral. She doesn’t know what to do with it, but when she drops it and Yoora’s computer stick falls out, she loads it into her laptop and sees a mysterious interview between Yoora and a very frightened woman at an asylum. However, someone is watching Songyi do this, and it’s the bear. But when Minjoon sees the bear, he susses out the camera and pulls it from the bear’s eye.
At a dress store, Songyi confronts Semi about her lies, and is shocked to learn that Semi has resented and hated her for their whole friendship. She stumbles out in shock, where someone drops a glass bowl on her head and Minjoon again has to rescue her by stopping time. (Semi witnesses this and is again shocked to see him.) He also captures the miscreant, who is taken to the police. But M-J learns this guy is a misguided fan of Yoora, who did not put the camera into the bear. He rushes to the hospital (where Songyi is after the fan’s attack) but he’s too late—Jaekyung’s minion has drugged and kidnapped her, put her into her car with the brakes cut and is sending her over a cliff. She screams for Minjoon, who manages to locate her, fly from the sky as the car is about to run off the cliff, and slam his hands into the hood, stopping the car. She bangs her head on the steering wheel and, looking up, sees Minjoon in the headlights. [END]
Epilogue: We see that Jaekyung is definitely the man behind the camera, and we see him looking Minjoon in the eye as the latter pulls the camera out of the bear. Minjoon looks disapproving; Jaekyung, oddly, amused.
** I love Songyi’s obnoxious “American” accent when she speaks English. It’s all nasal and rude, very TV-style teenager. I can’t tell if she’s being funny or if she really thinks that’s how you speak English.

Episode 3:
Was very good. Song Yi very cute and Min Joon is pretty cute too.
The computer wallpaper was very funny. What's-his-name was so funny - how does he think no one knows he's the CEO's son after he put the family picture up???
I cracked up when that guy at the hospital says, "There's still people who use beepers??"

Episode 4
The young Song Yi and the now Song Yi look so alike - very impressive.
What is it with Koreans not wanting to eat alone? I don't get it. Not wanting to eat alone in a restaurant I totally get but not wanting to eat alone even when at home is strange to me. I see this again and again where they want someone to at least watch them eat... strange...
Gosh, I felt very sorry for the girl who died. She was sorta nasty but still... and didn't you get the feeling she and Song Yi were thawing toward each other a little in the restroom just beforehand? Song Yi's wannabe boyfriend's brother is really creepy but so interesting!
Really? Do they expect us to believe a cop can realize that a blurry dot of a face in a grainy video belongs to a person whose name doesn't appear on the guest list? A little far fetched, I think.
Good episode. Enjoyed it lots.

This is one of my favorite series. Although there are some boring parts - especially near the end. Song Yi is so cute and funny and Do Min joon is so handsome!
I love the clothes that Song yi wore, she look so pretty at times.

I eventually finished this drama tho I didn't post.
I don't know... this is another one of those dramas I just don't see what all the hoopla was about. First of all I just don't find the lead guy all that cute - he's one of those actors I just don't find attractive or compelling at all - I don't understand why he's so popular in Korea. Secondly, I felt the lead girl looked way too mature for him. He looked like a high school student and she looked exactly the age she's supposed to be playing - a 30 year-old-woman. I didn't find the couple cute together.
Otherwise, it was all right. At least I finished it.
