I'm not sure if I've got the boy's name right. Anyway, how can Sena be comfortable marry a man who so obviously does not love her? She is like a puppy accepting whatever scraps he cares to throw her. And he should be ashamed of himself, treating her like that: when he says stuff like "next time we'll hold hands" and "I want us to. . . " and "We will . . . ," it's so obviously intended to convey the impression that he's committed to her. He probably thinks he means it, too--I mean, he's not intentionally manipulating her--but he should realize that it's wrong to go ahead with this if Sena is just a consolation prize. I guess I can see his confusion, on the other hand. If he feels Yunsa was the love of his life and anyone else will be second-best, but he can't have Yunsa, then probably feels he might as well get on with it and marry a nice girl who loves him.

I just want to smack him (not kiss). Yes, I'm resorting to violence! Sena knows better, but she's immature and "in love" so her emotions are overruling her mind. He's older and supposedly more mature, so I hold him more responsible.
Personally, I am quite irritated with him, and it's surprising to me because I've liked him in other dramas. (Well....except for one drama that's lurking in my mind...can't think of the name) . If he's committed to marrying her, then he should at least attempt to be kind and affectionate (even if just holding hands or walking closer that 5 feet apart). At this point, my opinion is JERK.
Have you guys noticed his mouth twitch? Drives me nuts. He'll talk and then twitch the side of his mouth. ARGH!
Ok, I think I'm just stressed by all packing I'm having to do. We're going on a 10 day trip to CO tomorrow - driving with our two children! (Calgon, take me away!)

Hi, Melissa! He annoys me for reasons other than the twitch, which I hadn't noticed and thank-you-very-much. He does this thing with his eyebrows, and I think also with his mouth, where he kind of make this pensive, questioning expression for no reason at all. I think he must be a very limited actor. I liked him at first and thought he was kind of cute, but then he started reminding me of Jimmy Stewart with that big mouth and chin and sort of stupid expression. Forgive me, any James Stewart fans out there. I know most people think he was pretty lovable. ANyway. . . I agree that he should be behaving much better than he is. What is with people who can't let go of an earlier love and take it out on whoever is unfortunate enough to fall in love with them subsequently? If you're that damaged, then take yourself out of the game. Sheesh. (I'm looking at YOU, Ki-joon!)P.S. Good luck with the packing, xelaevoli! I noticed you also misspelled your screen name--you must pronounce it to yourself the way I do (Zela-ayvolee).

Oh, you're so lucky! Colorado is so beautiful! Are you going to the mountains? When my husband and I got to the first place where the crags rose on both sides of us, man, I just wanted to move out there and stay! :) The air is so good. It was summer, so the low humidity was really welcome. You will have snow, I guess. Hope you're going for fun. Tell us about the animals and stuff. I always drove so my husband got to entertain our daughter. I didn't have the patience, and I love driving.

I noticed you also misspelled your screen name--you must pronounce it to yourself the way I do (Zela-ayvolee). 1. Yes, his eyebrows and mouth - definitely seems to be limited in the facial expression dept. Also, his hair looks pretty ridiculous, IMO. Couldn't they find a better hairstyle for him? 2. (I thought of the other drama...it was Beautiful Days with Choi Ji Woo and he played a laid back guy on that one...was aggravating after a while.) 3. I agree. If you haven't gotten over someone, don't go out with someone else. Isn't that called being on the "rebound?" 4. I didn't *really* misspell it...I was too lazy to type out "unlogged!" :-) We are going ..... camping.... I guess it will be fun. We'll be in a cabin with no heat, electricity or running water. DH wants to "rough it." I'm going because he's planning a trip to Asia (Japan, Korea and China) next month, so he wants a "family" vacation before he goes. ( Cathay Pacific is having WONDERUL deals to Asia...21 days 19 cities for about $1100) It is beautiful. The cabin we're going to is right on top of a mountain with a beautiful view of some peaks. I don't know if there will be snow, but I hope so! Fortunately, we'll be going to Durango for a day or two as well (and a HOTEL! LOL). We wanted to go on the train in Durango to Silverton, but it doesn't go all the way in winter. Melissa

Oh, dear me, Melissa, camping in an unheated cabin this time of year . . . I'm sure it will be beautiful, but, er, bring a sweater, y'know? It will be gorgeous; I've been to Colo. in the winter, and I know you will have a great time. Well, last night's episode was satisfying in some ways. It seems Seunggu and Sena are getting to know each other a little better, and she is drawing some boundaries. She's not trailing after him like a dog anymore and has kind of found her sea-legs in this relationship. I do wish she would break it off, and it looks like they may be setting us up for a situation in which the two couples switch partners or at least think about doing it, but the way she ran to the hospital and was so happy to see him makes me think she's not going to give up on him so soon. Isn't there something so attractive about the actress who plays Yunsu? I don't mean "hot" or some other physical thing, though she's certainly really pretty. There is just something very centered and charismatic about her. Maybe it's in the characters she plays, but maybe it's her.

That's the kind of character she's good at playing. She also played completely different character in Woman who wants to marry and that's one of my favourite k-drama characters ever. But yeah... I think she does has some sort of... something there. I can't quite put into words, but I think I kind of get what you mean.

It does seem like Sena is starting to stand her ground. She seemed very firm about breaking off the wedding plans, until she heard Seungu was in the hospital. Did she have to run to him?? (it seems like people do alot of running in these K-dramas). Anyways I get the feeling that Seungu was starting to miss her and her text messages/phone calls. Maybe he is starting to like her, at least a little Does anybody here think that Sena should maybe hook up with Yunsa's fiance? They seem to be so much alike. Picking out the same outfits, having the same attitudes, its weird. And I'm pretty sure when Yunsa's fiance sees Sena he is going to be attracted to her (remember when he saw her on the street and couldn't take her eyes off of her?) Anyways this should be interesting, seeing who ends up with who.

Almost caught up with all my episodes. Although I still haven’t seen episode two, so I don’t know if I didn’t record it or if it is still in the unwatched tape pile.
1. Sengu is cute! He looks like a little kid. But I agree, he needs a more flattering hairstyle. 2. Sena is such a little girl. And I mean that in a good way. She’s a very likable character. She’s made me crack up a lot. Especially during the honeymoon episodes. 3. I don’t believe what a stupid excuse Yunsu is using. How can you not tell somebody likes you when they are bending over backwards for you. HELLO--he even paid for her tuition. I haven’t seen this weeks episodes so I might answer these questions by viewing the latest tapes. But I mean, I just don’t understand it. If they both still liked each other why did they go out with other people? 4. I like Sengu more than Kijoon though. Sengu is honestly trying to like Sena more and seems committed to make their marriage work (at least from the eps. I’ve watched) whereas Kijoon just married to please his mom.

I do like Seungu, at heart. He's a pretty good guy, and it makes sense that he is the way he is, unable to open up to her, for various reasons. I think it's awful, though, that he can't see how much he hurts Sena with his neglect. I think he needs to grow up and realize that other people have needs. She is quite adorable. I am just being an unni to her when I get angry with Seungu. He's a little frustrating to watch, isn't he? He is committed to the marriage, but on an on-and-off basis! Other things, like Yunsu, keep distracting him and making him forget about his little wife and her bean-paste chigae simmering at home.

his little wife and her bean-paste chigae simmering at home. --I know! That was so cute. I love it that Sena is learning to cook for her hubby! (And it doesn't look like Korean cooking is exactly easy, either.) The "Pink Princess" has been a good, committed wife. She could have easily just stayed home with Mom & Dad in the lap of luxury. She is really hanging in there (despite Seungu's half- hearted, wishy-washy early efforts). But he must be starting to see her value and worthiness, because he is becoming more devoted and committed (although I wish he wasn't so DENSE about not getting home in time for dinner, meeting Yunsu, etc.).

I caught up with the rest of the episodes (xcpt for 8 which is MIA) and so far I'm like "and I thought you were a good guy Sengu!" he does have his good guy moments but so far he's had more "jerk, how could you be so dumb!" moments.

True, even though he's definitely still clueless and thoughtless when it comes to caring about the needs and feelings of his adorable new spouse, I do think there's hope for him yet!

Hope the Korean Soap Opera Gods hear you on that! Sena is just such a likable character. I can see why her girlfriends like her so much. She seems like a nice person to go shopping with for Hello Kitty and Pucca accessories.

She seems like a nice person to go shopping with for Hello Kitty and Pucca accessories. -- Sena does seem like she would be a good shopping pal! Well, after watching Ep. 9 & 10, new hubby does seem to be coming around v-e-r-y slowly (but still is WAY too attached to Yunsu, and caters to her needs way too much). I just feel that once a couple is married, it is only right to always put the spouse(s) first. Previous friendships/romances MUST take a back seat now, no matter how close they once were (or even still are). It is only fair to the health and security of the marriage. Even though he really is beginning to love and value his new wife, he needs to wake up! He keeps putting himself (inadvertently) into questionable positions with Yunsu and of course, poor Sena keeps walking in just in time to see yet another hurtful scene.
