Now wait just a darned minute here. Jaeseong couldn't carry two bags of flour without throwing his back out. But he picks up Yerin and carries her all the way from his office out to the parking lot? Yeah, Yerin is just skin and bones...but come on already. You writers think we forget this stuff? Busss-ted! How about some continuity here?
Don't bite Yeonga's head off, Mrs. Kim--she's right so often it's uncanny. Maybe Yerin did wear herself down and is having significant health trouble. And it's starting to look that way, isn't it.
"It's from overworking and stress." No, Yerin, it's called karma.
"Are you okay that I have a big scar?" Trust me, Yerin, he won't have any problem with a scar. The satanic demon that controls your soul, well, that might be a problem....
Jeonghyo, why are you letting her play you like this? And the flash drive goes in the garbage? Nooooooo!!!! You are now back out of contention for the Mrs. Guk MVP award.
What do you expect Mrs. Kim to be thinking, Jaeseong? Only a few weeks ago you confronted her and Baker Dad outside that hospital and told them you were marrying Seyeong. Now you tell her it's Yerin instead? And you want her to be happy for you? She'll be happy for your psychiatrist's financial portfolio, more likely.
Oh no no no no no...now Seyeong actually hugged Yerin, and it didn't end with her snapping Yerin's neck. "Yerin's a sweet, poor girl." Someday Seyeong will end up the victim of a pyramid scheme. But I do enjoy the rare occasions when Yerin will try to be honest and confess things and unburden her conscience, and then snap right back minutes later. There's an interesting psychology going on there; I wish we'd see more of it.
"I think your grandma hates me." No, Gieun, it's called karma.
Another interesting situation with Mrs. Kim and Baker Dad. God bless him for wanting to keep his high product standards...and Mrs. Kim has no business lecturing him about that...but on the other hand, he does need to start running the business like a business, doesn't he. Wonder where this one goes.
You're kidding--they're actually getting the movie-production storyline going again? About time.
Come on, Ilyeong, don't be reluctant--you were right! Call her on it!
Geez, Yerin, what's with that dress? You look like a glow stick.
"I found this in the trash. I thought it might be important." AAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHA! This is a lot like "the fridge is broken" but if they're going to repeat themes, better this than Yerin-bullies-Seyeong. Never saw it coming. Whoever would have thought the cleaning lady would be the one to blow the whole thing open. Enjoyed that immensely.

Jeonghyo, I am going to strangle you. Slowly and painfully. Or maybe I don't have to. When Yerin poisons the next person you'll feel so guilty you'll hang yourself.
So we're 3:15 in and you're already expecting Yerin to put something disgusting into the drink ingredients.
And it's 3:50 in and she's doing it. Way to go, writers--a new record. It took you 35 seconds to not think of something different. Maybe next year you'll get that Nobel Prize for literature.
Seyeong always seems to get the lamest news stories, doesn't she? Making lemonade on the air? Boy, that is some hard-hitting journalism right there. Tune in tomorrow for the complete how-to guide for playing hopscotch.
But my respect for her went way up when she downed that whole glass. What a pro.
Get a load of that wallpapering job. Is that a tribute to M.C. Escher?
Yes, grandma, Misuk is right, you're totally out of line. Correct or not. And trying to weasel Misuk into getting a free housekeeper, again out of line.
"Dancing like this really gets rid of stress!" You know what else gets rid of stress, Gieun? Running for your life from an angry mob of viewers with pitchforks and burning torches. We'll give you a ten-second head start....
"Let the adults talk first." Hey I liked that. I haven't seen anybody shut Yerin up like that in a long time. Misuk, put that one on cards and pass them out to everybody you know.
Lying about your birth mother to your future husband...great way to start a relationship.
Ilyeong, just snap them both like twigs. The angry mob with the pitchforks and burning torches will make you their hero and bow down before you and you'll be their queen.

Upon further reflection...
In the last post I had included a snarky comment about Gieun drinking while "pregnant." You know, what's the big deal, it's not like her baby would be any more brain-damaged than it already is, how could you tell, that kind of thing. But I deleted it because Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is a serious and terrible thing, and we know enough these days that we shouldn't joke about it.
So why did Misuk not go absolutely screaming-wild furious when she caught Gieun with alcohol on her breath? She wasn't any more than a little bit miffed at her. I was really surprised by that, and having thought about it more, the show totally dropped the ball on this. Very irresponsible to depict that happening and not deliver the message that it's dangerous and absolutely unacceptable.

And again that reporter is in the building. How does she do it? She could make a lot more money cracking safes.
"I think Yerin loves him more than I do." It won't happen, but I'd like to see Jaeseong and Yerin end up together. They deserve each other. And obviously Seyeong isn't over Jaeseong, but wouldn't it be great if she could get over him. Then she could move on and marry Jeonghyo or anybody else. I would love it if the series would be bold like that and not go for the ending everybody wants and expects. Dare to dream.
Why does Seyeong's hair keep getting shorter? Not criticizing her but personally I don't care for it.
Grandma, Misuk, Gieun--three generations of golddiggers.
Yerin, you're far too skinny to be drinking that much. You won't be able to hold that liquor. And look what happens when you start babbling to yourself. NOW, Seyeong, now will you please wise up about her? How much more is it going to take?
"Today you'll become a real man." So says the guy wearing the pink tie.
goawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoaway...Hey, look at that, she went away! It works! It actually works! Yippeeeee!!!
I don't wish you any pain, Donguk...but are you really surprised she'd do something like this? I wonder where she's going. Maybe to Los Angeles like her father was talking about.
Who the heck is that woman?
Seriously, who the heck is she? Certainly didn't expect a new character to show up now. She looks like she could be related to Mrs. Kim, but that would be a strange addition. I wonder if it's Donguk's mother. We don't know anything about his mother. That's the only idea I can come up with. She looks wealthy...hmmm, Donguk has money after all, Gieun comes running back but he won't have her now and he starts to connect with middle sister...possible?
P.S. Another upon-further-reflection: Why did Seyeong drink the whole cupful? She didn't have to; in fact it would have made more sense to just take one healthy swig and hold the rest up to the camera as she signed off. Particularly if it was poisoned.

Wow, Yerin, awfully jumpy, aren't we? Maybe you could take a pill to calm down. Seyeong could get you one. Go ahead, ask her.
Seyeong, if you're going to go out there and talk to her, it had better end with you snapping her neck...but wait, making her tell Jaeseong the truth, that's actually very good--exactly what she should have to do. Make her fess up, rather than you squealing. "Do you think you'll be happy getting married that way?" That's a great question--nice going. Long overdue. But you know what, think hard about this because now you have dirt on her. You can use this one on her for a long, long time.
Yerin: "I may kill myself from the overwhelming shame." That's what it takes? Let's all start a list.
Wow, now the pod people got PSBMom. Good for her for showing some gratitude to them, especially to Yeonga. The way Minguk and Yeonga were looking at her, it cracked me up. "What just happened?" Very funny.
Gieun: "I'll come home after I clear my head." Seongsu: "Clear her head? She doesn't use her head." He shoots he scores! Knock it off, Seongsu, the wisecracks are my job.
Geez, Donguk, what are you walking the highways for? You should be on your knees in church, thanking the good Lord for deflecting that bullet that almost took you down. Hey, don't litter!
Uh-oh, why didn't it last? I need to start again. goawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoaway
And again with the nobody reacting to Gieun drinking while "pregnant." That really ticks me off. Oh wait, at least grandma called her on it, a little. Good for you, grandma.
"I lied about being pregnant so I could marry Donguk." That's twice in two episodes. If you're a skinny girl with a secret, better not hit the sauce too hard. So endeth the lesson.
Sara Kim. I don't like her. And wow, her wardrobe is almost as ugly has Seongsu's. Wait, Seongsu looked perfectly respectable today, so I take that back. "Do you know how much we're investing?" Um, I'm guessing, enough that you should call ahead of time so people are ready for you? Sheesh! Yeah, this is clearly Hollywood money, judging from how far her head is up her butt. (Sorry, trying to be nicer here but we all know it's true.)
"Did I come on too strong?" Misuk, you are a huge, huge idiot.
Yerin, didn't you learn the first time? Look around before you say you stole the ring. Come on, mom, slap her like before! I can see it in your eyes...here it comes, goody goody...Darn that Misuk, what rotten timing.
Okay, that sequence in the pool was just cringe-worthy awful. Jeonghyo swims five feet and gets a shin cramp so painful that he sinks and stops breathing? And why doesn't he just grab onto the lane rope? Of course that's the first thing he'd do. And the water at that end was four feet deep! You can clearly see Seyeong touching bottom with her feet as she pulls him back. All he had to do was stand up on his good leg. Was there not one person in the entire production filming this scene who had the cojones to say it needed to be better? Ugh. But credit for one thing: we saw Seyeong try to do CPR. Not well at all; her chest compressions were awful. But much better than doing nothing. (Really, though, the show missed another good-lesson moment here; no reason they couldn't have shown her doing it properly.)
P.S. What was that comment about the network getting a new majority shareholder? Could this be the end for Mister Executive? (Please?)

Ebola, Plague, ALS...now we have another lethal, terrifying medical condition: Shin Cramp of Death. Let's get the research going on it. Millions of lives could be at stake!
Seyeong, you'd better hurry before he's oxygen-starved and his brain ceases to function. Then he'll have to go work on the writing staff.
You know what, we never saw her take him out of the pool. Did she really lift him clean out of there and onto the deck? But don't fault the show for that, because scared people with a lot of adrenaline can have bursts of sudden strength. So we'll let that one go. It's possible. BUT...Every door to that swimming pool complex locks from the outside? And there's only one towel in the whole place? And no working telephones? And neither of them has a cell phone with them? UGH!!
"She won't say anything. I'm her daughter." Uh, Yerin? Remember the broken fridge? Mom will absolutely say something. Sloppy writing there; of course she remembers the broken fridge.
"You thought love could conquer all but you realized Donguk's not that great." Where has Seongsu gotten this sudden infusion of brains? Whatever, it's nice to see.
"I didn't think he'd be that dirt poor." Ummm...the guy works in a bakery and lives in the attic. What quantum thermodynamic calculations do you have to do to crack that one?
Uh-oh, confession time. Ilyeong shouts at Gieun that she's a terrible person and the light goes on in her head and she realizes "Oh, I am a terrible person!" and starts bawling...well, I cracked up. This is just the kind of psychological breakthrough she needs to be making and she's absolutely miserable and I'm sitting there laughing like crazy at her. Move over kid, I'm terrible too. So much for trying to be nicer. Or was anybody else laughing too?
"Are you really okay, Donguk?" Baker Dad, working is good for him right now. Let him do some work and stop looking at him like that. Unless you're looking at his shirt--in that case, yeah, I'd be worried too. Polka dots?
Hey, little kid, good to see you again. They let you talk! It's been forever.
So Yongdeok gets annoyed with the office phone calls and unplugs the cord. Then he immediately picks up his cell phone and starts calling people. That was funny.
Good grief, that woman really does have a hideous wardrobe. But wait, why is she in Jinsandang?...YES!! I may be horrible but I called that one right on the money.
No wonder Baker Dad didn't like that grocer's pricing policy--he's charging a thousand bucks for a bagel. What's in those things--the original manna flakes that saved the Israelites? Oi vey! Okay, seriously, this could get very interesting, if this woman has the kind of money she apparently has. Would make the Donguk story a lot more interesting. Plus it would be a real shot in the arm if somebody else could take the pain-in-the-butt role that Yerin has been carrying for way too long. She seems eminently capable of it.
And again with the wardrobe--what is Misuk wearing? Neon gingham? Now I've seen everything.
Isn't it about time for another Yerin abdominal attack?
"You have to tell him. If you don't, I will." Good for Mrs. Kim. Exactly right. Way to drop the hammer. But shouldn't you be leaving this outside of the workplace? See, people are whispering about Yerin already. Save it for home.
P.S. I keep thinking about the flash drive that Jeonghyo gave Yerin--the one with the poisoning footage on it. Will we see that thing again? It's interesting that he gave it to her but we haven't seen her destroy it. Just please don't let us see her throw it into the river. I don't want to watch her throw anything ever again.

Yeah, that's it, Jaeseong--glare at her. That'll solve everything. You're so intimidating.
"He was a bigger influence than my parents." Wow, there's a whole big load we never saw. Actually that would explain a lot--especially why he never told the old guy to just stick it when he was getting all the marriage pressure. Makes sense.
"I can't do that to my mom." There's that rare surfacing of repressed decency from Yerin. It's still there.
Now it's Jeonghyo with the wardrobe. A salmon sweater? This is like some sort of traveling virus of clothing insanity. And speaking of virus, you idiot...don't bring that stuff to work--if you're sick, stay home!
What's with the no food, Jeonghyo? Is your fridge broken? Ba-dum bum...okay, that only makes sense if you've been around since the beginning.
Ah, so now Sara Kim is a control freak too. Wonderful. Anybody remember the Three Stooges episode where they get mistaken for hotshot producers and end up making nutty movies? Wouldn't that be funny...Not as funny as her wardrobe, but funny.
goawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoaway
Um, Yerin, you know they can just print another copy, right? It's not custom calligraphy.
Are you kidding me? They can't print another copy? Are you serious? The thing was printed and spiral-bound! It OBVIOUSLY came off a computer. Seyeong foraging through the trash for it, the whole thing was so utterly stupid. A textbook example of what's gone wrong with the show. Nobody in the whole production had the speck of brain to realize this was silly, or at least to say so. Sheesh!!
"No. It's either Jeonghyo or nobody else." Now that is great. Why don't they give us more reasons to admire characters and less reason to dislike them? How can you not admire that kind of loyalty and sense of fairness? Good for Seyeong. And Mrs. Kim, all you have to do is get Jeonghyo back as a network employee. Certainly you can do that with no problem.
Hey, Mister Executive? You suck! You think the program is so good, the least you could do is bring Jeonghyo on staff. If he's that talented then you should want him there. You empty-headed sack of Shoot I'm supposed to be nicer, aren't I. Never mind.
If it's such a good idea, why do they have to work all night? Can't the network give them proper time to finish it? Isn't that up to Mister Executive? Hey Mister Exe...oh what's the point any more.
Don't look at him like that, Jaeseong--you had your chance. Idiot. I so hope they end up together. They're the same kind of people and they have a great relationship already. Of course it won't happen but it would be a great ending.
P.S. It just kind of snuck up on us viewers that Mrs. Kim is back at work now. Seems like that could have been an interesting angle to pursue--her struggling with the decision to stay resigned or come back. Especially with the show's focus on adoption--that whole storyline just died away. A real missed opportunity.

98 What's with the no food, Jeonghyo? Is your fridge broken? Ba-dum bum...okay, that only makes sense if you've been around since the beginning. Okay, I didn't get that until you explained it ... but yeah, that WAS rather funny! A whole lot more stupidity for us to groan upon. Monster Girl (again) just randomly and haphazardly doing her little petty destruction thing. That got old a long time ago. I'd also sure like to see Seyeong and Jeonghyo get together. Aside from Baker Dad, they're about the only really admirable people on the show. The writer seems to be dropping the hint, but I doubt she'll take it in that direction.

A fistfight? You have to be kidding. This is none of Jaeseong's business any more. And Jeonghyo ridiculously overreacted. What did I just say yesterday about how they're always giving us reasons to dislike characters and never enough reasons to like them. (And I'm sorry but there is NO WAY that Jaeseong wouldn't totally get his butt kicked in that fight. Not a chance. Oh, and would Jeonghyo really hit somebody with glasses on? I doubt it.) Ugh.
"You're so childish. Are you that insecure? Don't annoy me over this." Finally Seyeong has the right mindset about Yerin. Hooray.
Hey, look at that--Yerin has a nice dress on. Sometimes she doesn't dress too well either. Hmmm, why can't I stop commenting on people's clothes? I'm not a clothes person...but now here's Baker Dad in a jacket the same neon yellow as his landing-airplanes shirt from the hiking park. But good to hear he's going to give the grocery thing a try. Maybe the jacket is so loud it yelled some sense into him.
Again with Mrs. Kim and Baker Dad. This is an interesting thread developing and I'm enjoying it. Could grandma be right? Is something cooking in Mrs. Kim's head? "What? Who?" The sister-act reaction was funny. And Ilyeong cleaning her ear out, that was hilarious. (The series needs a lot more of her, like it used to be. She's very good.) Careful, sisters, grandma may be right about this.
"Korean food will be better known than French or Italian food." Oh Seyeong, stop it. You're just hosing the woman....Wait, it worked? She's giving up lifelong-secret recipes? Stop it. This is ridiculous. Totally absurd.
"Thank you. I'll refrigerate it well." Oh no--you don't suppose. Is it actually possible....and what is that, a power outage? I don't believe it. And of course Yerin is going to get blamed for it...Wipe your fingerprints off that thing, Yerin. Somebody call the Center for Wrongful Convictions.
Sounds like Gieun loves the credit cards more than she loved Donguk. But dad, if she wants to work at your office, don't bark at her about her not being independent--having a job is the first step! Sheesh. At least your wife chewed her out for the right reasons.
She's working with PSBMom? Oh boy what a pair that is. Too bad it won't last. That lady could really give Gieun a hard time, and it would be very entertaining.
Has Gieun found a sugar mommy? Hey, Sara, don't use her to run errands; use her to teach you what the bleep to wear! Again today with the hideous wardrobe. That pink hat--not saying it's big, but didn't Christo put it around an island in Florida? (Google it.)
"You're the one with the tacky hat!" Oh thank goodness it's not just me. Although the fact that Gieun is backing me up isn't exactly a ringing endorsement, is it.....
"Hello?" Click! That was great. Donguk does the deadpan thing well.
"Marriage shouldn't be built on a lie." Listen to Mrs.Kim, Jaeseong....But no, instead it's "I know you lied because you love me." Sorry, dude, she didn't lie because she loves you; she lied because she's nutty as a squirrel's nest.
Okay, who's the guy on the bus? Could that be the new majority shareholder? How cool would that be? A random act of kindness pays off. And a bigshot who rides the bus, that would be even better. I doubt Mister Executive rides the bus! (If life were fair he'd be driving it.)
P.S. We should see more of Kim Nari. She's the junior writer at the station; the smaller girl we see with Ilyeong sometimes. She's cute as a button, and it would be good for the plot to have more familiar characters at the office.

Upon further reflection...
You don't suppose that guy is Mr. Kim...as in, Seyeong's dad? Is that possible? I assumed he'd be the new majority shareholder because of all the big bills in his wallet, but could it be he's Mr. Kim? Or even more interestingly, both? Minguk mentioned having tried to contact his dad. Hmmmmm....And that could set something interesting up with Mrs. Kim, if she's becoming attracted to Baker Dad. We can watch the gears in her head turn. Which would be a nice change from watching squeaky gears in dumber people.

Okay, the way they did that slow-motion thing when the mystery guy passed by Jeonghyo's van--could this be Jeonghyo's dad? That was weird, wasn't it...and I guess he sort of looks like Jeonghyo. And then we hear somebody's outside of Jeonghyo's building, looking for somebody. Yeah, that's likely who the guy is. I wondered if we'd ever get some backstory on his parents. And he's the new company bigshot. I hope they handle this well. Don't like the odds, but we'll see.
Oh I don't believe it. Seyeong, why aren't you checking the food? At least open the bowl. But come on, one spoiled bowl of food--for an unavoidable and perfectly understandable reason--and this wonderful, have-to-get-it-on-the-air-ASAP idea of a TV program collapses and the network is up in arms? That's ridiculous. If you're going to create a disaster, how about giving us an actual disaster. This makes them all look like idiots. And what about that program is so innovative that it had them all buzzing at the proposal? A woman's recipes? Good grief.
Their new network slogan should be BCK: Where Refrigerators Go to Die.
Ilyeong, that was a little rude. Even Yerin deserves a thank-you. (Yeah, I said it.)
Hey, look--Bridezilla!
"This is all Seyeong's fault." Yeah, Yerin, darn her for not being a qualified electrician and putting on her hard hat and checking the building transformers before she left work. What a slacker. But then, "I should have told her." There's the speck of decency again.
Sheesh, why do these shows think it's okay for elders to rummage through kids' possessions.
"Why are you sleeping in so late?" Okay, this explains why Sara Kim's wardrobe is so awful. She gets up before the sun rises and dresses in the dark. Yeah, that's it. Of course, that doesn't explain why she BUYS the stuff...hmmm...maybe she's got too much chlorine in her eyes when she goes shopping. Boy I cracked that one, didn't I. And wow, even her swim cap is ugly! How do you make an ugly swim cap. You almost have to admire the accomplishment.
This last plot point, it may be the worst the show has done yet. An old lady gets conned out of a family photo and the cops tell her she's going to jail? And in no time the entire network is going bananas about it? And Seyeong doesn't have the sense to check with a lawyer right away? Once again, if you want to create a sense of urgency or drama, come up with something meaningful. Not like the entertainment industry doesn't have any of that to draw on, does it...UGH.
This is how bad the whole thing was: Mister Executive was right! I can hardly bear to admit it. Life has lost all meaning.
P.S. If Yerin still has that flash drive, I sure hope she's erased it.

"Don't tell your father about the ad." Brilliant, grandma, they're plastered all over the neighborhood and he won't find out if you keep quiet. You'd better head to the police and the network and get on your knees both places and confess and beg for mercy.
I don't believe it--she did it again. What is this, the fourth or fifth time we've seen Sara Kim and every time she's dressed hideously. A bright green skirt with a brown hat? Actually she has a nice pendant on, but that hat, good grief.
So we all wondered how Donguk could lose his mind and end up in love with Gieun. Hmmm...isn't there a sort of tendency for some guys to marry women a lot like their mothers? Well now this starts to make some sense, doesn't it. Spoiled and annoying with no sense of tact or restraint. That's his mother to a T. So we have to give credit to the show for that one. Makes sense and I can buy it.
"This has never happened before!" Uh, yes it has, Gieun. Uh, yes it has, writers. When she threw the money at him. Looks like the same park bench, even. Come on, how about some continuity here. Oh, and my saying this, THAT has happened before! Ugh.
"Do I have to point out every single thing?" If you want him to do the contract right, yes you do. Were the repeated heavy doses of Gieun in this series not enough? Did they have to bring in another brat? Can we please make her go away? Hey...let's get Yerin in here to poison her! Yeah, that's the ticket. Then Donguk can inherit her money and save the bakery permanently. Just, please, very soon.
The guy's a bigshot investor/financier and he's standing around by himself waiting outside an apartment building? Doesn't he have people to do that for him? Actually, wait, it's kind of interesting that he doesn't. Okay, so he's Jeonghyo's dad after all. How does Jeonghyo recognize him if he hasn't seen him since he was a baby? I suppose he might have had a photo of him at one point, so I guess we can let that go.
You need to forgive the guy, Jeonghyo...or at least not prejudge. Which he seems to be doing (the not prejudging) so that's good. And thank goodness for a reasonably interesting new angle.
"I'm not that popular with women." If that's true, it could only be a self-esteem thing.
"It wouldn't be morally right." Jaeseong, you scored some much-needed points with me for that.
Uh-oh, something fishy's going on. I guess the Chinese fish work for lower wages than the South Korean fish.

Seriously, the moment Seyeong jumped into the back of that truck, didn't you just KNOW that she'd get locked inside the darn thing? I mean, that girl seems to make a career of getting herself locked up.
I think the whole Chinese fish deal is that Koreans consider Chinese foodstuffs to be of inferior standard. I seem to recall that there was some big bru-ha-ha over imported Chinese Kimchee that sickened a number of Koreans a few years ago. I guess that genuine Korean fish might bring a higher price.
Obviously, Seyong's going to get this big news scoop aired, and everything will be quickly be forgiven at the network. Not a bad way to bring her back, but she's awfully lucky about these news scoops sometimes ...

Come on, Seyeong, use your brain...build an igloo out of the styrofoam cases. They'll insulate you, at least enough to take the sting away for a while. But come on, writers, how did Jeonghyo just happen to be on the right road almost instantly? Even for TV, that's ridiculous.
"I can't ruin Seyeong's career." Why not, grandma--you spent all those years trying to ruin her self-esteem! But maybe you've grown and matured. Okay, okay, everybody stop laughing. "I was stupid and selfish." Hey, maybe she has. And look, she's on her knees at the network--halfway there. Now the police, grandma.
"She's like Buddha himself." Whoever wrote that line, please fire that person. The worst line of the series. Fire now.
Hey, talk about wardrobe, the new guy sure does dress sharp, doesn't he.
So the guy wants Seyeong to recommend a lunch place, and she hasn't eaten all day because she got stuck in that truck. Hey Seyeong, how about sushi? Ha! Rim shot please.
That was a nice scene in the restaurant. But yikes, maybe Seyeong didn't pick a very good place if the guy couldn't keep the food down. Lunch = launch. And now what the heck is she doing--bleeding the guy? What is this, the 17th century? Somebody get her some emergency leeches, stat!
goawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoaway...darn it, it didn't work--and now she's breaking and entering? Yes, Donguk, you have a stalker.
Good heavens, it's like she's trying to top herself every day. What is that skirt Sara Kim is wearing? I think I saw that fabric on a craps table in Vegas. The show's wardrobe people must be having a lot of fun trying to find new and ever-more-horrifying ways to dress that character.
Detox juice? Ick ick ick! That stuff looks more like tox juice. Sorry, Yeonga, I think the world of you but blecch get that stuff out of here. You suppose that stuff is what turns Yerin into Monster Girl? Just like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Oh Yerin, you blissfully obnoxious idiot! I loved the bump-into in the hallway. And then she gives the guy a shoulder bump just to be rude. This is gonna be sweet. I can hardly wait for the uh-oh moment.
The show seems like it's sort of stalled lately--like, Where are we going with all this?--but it certainly isn't intolerable any more like it was during all of that Yerin-endlessly-sabotaging-Seyeong stuff. And I really like Jeonghyo's dad. A CEO type who's so unpretentious and patient. Interesting character.
P.S. What was all that about Yerin repeatedly grabbing her side in pain? She was a real mess there, and then it just vanished. Is it coming back? Have to say, I liked my idea about her needing something from PSBMom....but whatever, it doesn't make sense that it just abruptly stopped.

That has to be the fastest response time in the history of law enforcement.
Well at least Yerin knows how to print copies of that report! Apparently she's the only one. Maybe she should be a tech trainer.
Oh come on, Mrs. Kim, you still don't know when Yerin's playing you for a fool? Good grief. But hey, at least Seyeong's making great strides with Yerin. Leaving her stammering and in a huff like that was very impressive.
"They only say that to sell you things." Seongsu, why would you say that? Especially to grandma? Even if it's true, don't say it, even in fun. Where'd those new brains go? Jeonghyo: "You look younger every time I see you." Learn from THAT, Einstein.
Gee, look at how happy they all are together. When was the last time we saw anything like this? This show used to strike a nice balance between the more difficult situations and some pleasant things. It would be great to get that balance back.
Oh come on Jeonghyo, the guy's by himself and it's a holiday. He's your dad, for heaven's sake. Suck it up and be civil to the guy. Not cool.
Jeonghyo: "I never saw him before--but when I saw him outside my house, I knew it was him." Well this is a nice surprise--we got an explanation for how he knew who his dad was. Properly good writing there. That's what we like to see.
Grandma went to the police? Good for you, grandma. "I told them my only crime was being stupid and foolish." Wow, talk about a repeat offender! Okay, I'm sorry, yes I'm supposed to be nicer.
Well this is a good way to protect us from Sara Kim's wardrobe: a night scene. Looks like it's another disaster, but it's too dark to see. Much obliged for that. Oh no, a street light! Get her out of there before she gets too close to it! Oh no, grandma, don't bring her inside!...Oh okay, it's the same outfit from last episode. At least it's not a new shock.
Ewww, Gieun sucked Donguk's bleeding finger? Is she a vampire? Well there's your answer, Donguk--you want to keep her away, just start baking garlic bread! Ha!
"I'm the only one who can love you for who you are!" And that's why you ran out on him? goawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoaway
Of all the annoying coincidental eavesdropping, this one you have to love. How great was it to see the new guy walk by just as Yerin promised to air Seyeong's footage.
Hey Mister Executive--you suck! You got played by Yerin. And oh boy, you took the stuff straight to the new guy! And told him it was Yerin's! AAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHA! You idiot! I love it.
Seyeong, you idiot! Do you really think Yerin will help you? Have you not learned anything? That was badly written. She should have reacted with horror as soon as she saw what was happening.
That's a news show set? That's a strange-looking set for a news show. Do they look like that over there? Not the KBS sets I've seen.
Looks like Yerin is about to take a huge hit. This may be the beginning of her ultimate comeuppance. But the story isn't very well thought out. Does she really think she can get away with a lie like this? Come on, she's not that stupid. Not only does Seyeong have the original footage on her phone, and not only does Jeonghyo know the story, and not only do the police know who was there, but if she were asked any questions about the footage, she wouldn't be able to answer them. Even with her history of neurotic lying, there's just no way she'd have tried to sell that as her own story. No way. Sloppy, lazy writing.
