What did it say?

HELP! What was that in the sand that Ki-hoon wrote to Na-young? Was it "Ki-hoon loves Na-young forever" or something like that?

Michael Han if you are reading: Please let us know!

It said: "Na-young [something]! Sarang [something]!"

The somethings are probably grammatical endings, and 'Sarang', of course, is 'Love'.

Probably, "Na-young! I Love You!"

At first, I thought Ki-hon had scuffed out the message with his shoe, but when I freeze framed the scene, I saw a tea kettle nearby. He must have used water to spell it out. Why a tea kettle on the playground? It seems Koreans use kettles to hold drinking water a lot; they never seem to drink tap water on these shows.

It was indeed "Na-young, I love you."

An oversight on the subtitler's part for not providing a caption. It should've been captioned.

One other minor problem with that scene: it defies logic that Ki-hoon could've written that large message in the dirt while Na-young was looking the other way, shooting baskets. It would've made more sense if he had it already written when she arrived there to meet him.

Still, it was cute. These two really do seem to be falling very deeply in love.

Yeah, I figured it was something like that. Thanks to both of you for the reply. ;D

Something I was thinking about is that the men tend to be a lot cheesier than the women. Sang-min is forever being ordered around by Min-joo (i.e. the big interrogation scene yesterday about him buying the gloves instead of the baby books). Young-joon would be capable of doing just about anything (including severing ties with his one and only grandma) if Ja-young asked. Ki-hoon and Nayoung: he tells her about his stress in looking for a job, she tells him to shut up.

These are definitely some tough women to handle.

Another candidate for the strong women list could be the new cook (don't know the name yet), but she may have met her match in the stubborn Woon-kyu. What is missing from the show is a beaten-down slave of a woman like Mrs. Cha of So This Is Love!

What do you call Sun-joo's mom then? She always has this look on her face like she is worried. Even when she smiles, it looks like she just drank some sour vinegar. LOL. ;D She's nice though.

Interesting observation! Did anybody catch today’s “ABC World News Sunday?” One feature story was on the ever-increasing numbers of women in North Korea’s endlessly expanding army. As the ABC reporter spoke, the video showed thousands of female N. Korean soldiers (in skirts, no less – how practical is that?) goose-stepping through the center of Pyongyang on parade.

The reason: North Korea is having trouble staffing its huge army, since so many N. Korean men are either fleeing the country, or dodging the draft! The news reporter then said something about how Korean women “have a reputation for, shall we say, toughness,” whereupon the reporter shifts to South Korea, and shows some video of South Korea’s female troops out in the field practicing with live hand grenades. Says one humorless female South Korean soldier: “North Korea’s women are no match for us.”

Whew, I’m beginning to think that Korean women aren’t just tough, they’re scary!
