Well I think it's been established that Mi Ran is crazy and Eric is cheesy. But who gets on your nerves more?

That's a tough call! Mi Ran is SO manipulative and nasty, but Eric is irritating in every scene he's in. Neither is too credible as a love interest, though the egg-tossing scene last weekend was probably the funniest in the show so far. I still can't believe that Ji-Eun would be attracted to Eric, except that he at least keeps things lighter than her ex-husband, Mr. Obsessive Gloom. If she's really grown as a character, she would recognize Eric's immaturity as being similar to how she used to be (without the same level of selfishness) and reject him for that alone, not to mention the many other obvious reasons! The best thing that can be said for Mi-ran is that she doesn't drive!
Yun, Bokja's would-be boyfriend is a close runner-up though. I know he's probably intended as comic relief, but I cringe whenever he's in a scene. A little bit of trivia: the same actor has a very, very brief scene in The Great Jang-geum (I forget the episode number). Shortly after Jang-geum lost her sense of taste, she and Lady Han encountered a blind merchant who ran his fingers along the side of the fish to test their freshness, and the customer before them was none other than the actor who plays Yun. It's a better part for him!

I grind my teeth every time I have to see that big Dodo Bird of Eric. On the other hand, every time I see Miran I just think "She's good." She plays her character down to the nth level.

Miran just keeps getting more nasty, more manipulative and more scary. I'm just waiting for her to put poison in Ji-Eun's drink, set up some kind of "accident", etc. I guess if she didn't play the "Bette Davis" kind of snakelike character she is developing so well, we wouldn't hate her so much.   Meanwhile, I still find it hard to take Eric and his corny, blantantly patronizing lines. How can Ji-Eun even take him seriously? ........once a player, always a player. That hair, that stubble, those floppy open shirt collars! Yuk!  |

Another cheesy line courtesy of Eric.
"Do you smell something burning?" .... "My heart is burning right now".

I voted Eric, of course. I finally figured out who he reminds me of: PRINCE! I'm just waiting for him to show up at Ji-eun's door in a purple velvet suit and ruffled shirt. With his itty bitty mustache, skinny face, and his "I'm too sexy" glares. Well, Prince's mustache is thin because it's skinny, and Eric's is just sparse. Sorry to carry my beef with his facial hair to another thread, but when you mention Eric, I mention the 'stache.

I don't know, I think they're pretty neck and neck on that - they may be selfish about different things but still.
BWAHA! Exactly! Now that's sad. It's okay, though, I kind of think of him as comic relief now.
I haven't seen Saturday's episode yet (stupid vcr, but I will triumph on Tuesday morning). But after the kiss on Friday, you know something has to happen between Eric and Se-hoon. I wonder if he'll get any better when he stops flirting and starts (trying) to kick butt. I wonder who would win in that fight?
Wiry, flitty Eric against stodgy, slow Will? Oh, wait, that doesn't matter because Mi-ran would trip Eric with her wheelchair and blame Ji-eun so that she wouldn't take her Will away.
I love Mi-ran, by the way. She is the most audacious character in the drama. Far more exciting than everyone else.
