Whoa. How did this come about? I'm out of the loop. I like this pairing better than Seyeong with Jaeseong. Scooter just had to pass by right then lol. More fashion for you ajk. They can be the plaid couple.

It was just sort of gradual. They did a couple of assignments together, and he came up with a show idea that was popular in-house and they did that together as well. He gradually decided he liked her and finally worked up the guts to tell her in the previous episode. They've always been so comfortable with each other, you're right it seems like a real good match. I think a lot of people would prefer she be with him than Jaeseong--and there are only 25 episodes left so it may very well turn out this way.
Those pants don't look good on her. They may not look good on anybody. Maybe Sara Kim will wear them one day.

Also (after being lied to and abused for way too long) Jeonghyo finally got over his juvenile-schoolboy crush on Yerin. That opened the way for him to begin liking Seyeong.
Those outfits were frightfully close to the silly his-and-hers attire you so often see young Korean couples wearing on their honeymoons. They both showed up for work wearing loud, ugly plaid outfits, and they both topped them off with loud, ugly, orange sweaters.
A hint of things to come? Surely that wardrobe selection couldn't have been COMPLETELY accidental - could it?

Somebody needs to report the BCK network to Korean OSHA. How many walls can fall down in this place?
Uh, Yerin, maybe you'd better call for help? But yes, you're right, this isn't your fault at all, if any random bump from a cart can trigger an avalanche. And now she starts lying about it...but this time it's more explainable, as a panic reaction. What's NOT explainable is everybody believing her without question. I said it before: even monkeys learn.
And how about that number-8 set decoration that just started vibrating on its own and fell over. Is that some sort of alien spacecraft? It seemed to have predatory instincts. Now THERE'S a story.
And now the food display gets destroyed? Wow, is the entire network a death trap?
"You need to be looked at, too." Really, Jaeseong? Why--because Yerin took a blow to the head? Like that could do anything else besides knock some sense into her? If I were you I'd send her back in there. And of course, she cooked up a lie that doesn't explain the cue cards in her handwriting that are still sitting there in the studio by that cart that's at the head of the mess. Maybe the Korean OSHA investigator will figure it out.
Mister Executive: "We have to do something. This was a safety issue." I agree completely. Aren't the studio executives supposed to ensure workplace safety? How about firing yourself? You suck!
Hey, wait a minute--CEOdad is in a coma? Really? Ha! It took 111 episodes but we got us a coma guy! How about that. Never thought we'd get a coma guy in this series. But I haven't watched many of these daily dramas. Isn't a coma guy sort of a requirement?
Wow, what's with the plain shirt and plain pants, Sara Kim? Have you lost the will to live? Or are you going undercover for a studio project? Nobody will recognize you dressed like that.
Grandma, you are really out of your mind, trying to fix those two up. Why would you do a thing like that to your own son? And what happened to Mrs. Kim? I kept saying what an interesting storyline that was, with her and Baker Dad and that weird vibe between them. Please tell me they didn't dump it.
You know, Gieun, you're supposed to give the ring back. And it happened again--she started crying and I started laughing at her. Am I really that horrible? Or is she just that big an idiot?
Donguk, what the bleep is wrong with you? You got her out of your life, now be glad and consider it a bullet dodged. Go after the middle sister like you should have been doing all along.
Yerin's covered in a cold sweat? So there's still a conscience in there after all.
He's awake? Gee that was an awfully short coma. More like just a pause. You know--a comma!
P.S. Let's face it--the luckiest people in this episode are the three who went for pizza and didn't have to stick around. Ugh.

It really does seem that every Korean daily drama has to have at least one character go comatose at some point during the show's run.
But yes, thank goodness it was just a one-episode coma. It's so much worse is when they try to stretch those things out for weeks and weeks.
The weird Number-8 thingy that started wobbling all by itself ... honestly, that was the funniest part of the episode. And, the fact that it obviously wasn't MEANT to be funny made it even more so. Silly script writer!

Yerin, I've been so patient with you but I can't take it any more. From now on you get the Gieun treatment. shutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutup
There is NO STORY here. He's a big boy, he's the CEO, and he knew exactly where he was going and where he was sitting. There's no reason for anybody to have to investigate it. A bunch of stuff was carelessly stacked and fell over; that's all there is to it. Of all the satisfying ways they could come up with to get Yerin in trouble, this isn't one of them. She should have been honest about it from the beginning, but an unintended bump from a cart shouldn't have caused a major accident so she's not to blame for it.
"I've done plenty of volunteer work." Did that ever make me laugh. Yeah, Yerin, you're a regular Mother Teresa. Feed the hungry, nurse the sick, comfort the grieving. And she's saying this because she wants to give CEOdad a sponge bath? Ewwww....
And what is that orange thing she's wearing? Road crews wear those. At least when she finally goes to prison and they put her on the chain gang, she'll be ready to go.
Grandma, stop trying to sell your son like that. "He's got the arms of a thirty-year-old!" That's great, grandma--so did the Frankenstein monster.
"Why is she saying those things? Is she trying to get me to date her son?" Wow, Sara Kim, you are one razor-sharp intellect.
Donguk, you're actually calling Gieun? You are such an idiot.
I don't think Yongdeok has a cold; I think he has some sort of radioactivity poisoning from those pajamas he's wearing. Good heavens, those things are just about glowing. What are they made of--enriched uranium? Better watch out or Kim Jong Un will sneak into your house and steal them.
Okay, have to give credit here--Sara Kim looks good today. Nice outfit. Didn't think she had it in her.
So the network couldn't figure out what happened...even though there should be a clear trail from cue cards to cart to pallets to pillar to wall. Seems like it should be dead-bang obvious.
Hey look at that--they put the surveillance video on a CD! Wow, somebody's dragged the network kicking and screaming into the 1990s.
Yerin thinks she can keep Seyeong from ever seeing CEOdad again? How is she going to do that? Does she have some kind of mind-control plan to turn him into her zombie slave? This is dumb writing. There's so much left to deal with in this series--so many plotlines to address--and they just keep churning out Monster Girl stuff. Very frustrating.

More of Yerin trying to lie her way out of a situation. And Seyeong getting played. Over and over and over again. Why aren't the show's ratings suffering? I've seen the numbers and despite the endless Monster Girl nonsense, the ratings haven't fallen off at all. I just don't get it.
Jeonghyo, stop being such a jerk to your dad. Everybody's sick of it.
"What is that cart doing there? It wouldn't have gone there by itself." Well well well, look at this, they're putting the pieces together. Come on, guys, keep pushing. Now find the cue cards.
"Yes, the old raccoon is here." Well played, Misuk...very funny.
"You won't have that many guests...not after you've lost everything." Mrs. Kim, why even say that. You know it's just going to set her off.
Sara Kim: "What use will this skill be?" Looking down on a trade...grrrr...and maybe you ought to try your son's product first, huh?
Wow, that was quite a scene between Donguk and mom. Lots of heavy stuff coming out. Fine, at least it was a meaty scene. Could use more of those and less of Yerin and Gieun.
What the heck has gotten into Baker Dad? Oh no, you don't think...oh no no no this is just totally twisted. Please tell me they're not doing this. Why would somebody with such a good soul get a crush on someone so awful? I'm trying to buy it but I just can't. What would he possibly see in her? Or does he just have some sort of severe self-esteem problem and feels comfortable being looked down on? This had better stop because it would be the worst plotline so far...and that's really saying something. Besides, she's far too much of a snob to want anything to do with him anyway. We just heard her sneer at the trade he works at. We JUST HEARD that, writers.
Hey, wait, there are two of those silver things in the film company office, not just one. What are they? And by the way, what's with the giant Audrey Hepburn headshot?
And now Gieun is doing what? Oh that was absolutely pathetic to watch. Not funny, not entertaining. This is an empty, directionless person who desperately needs therapy and guidance. She's no better now than she was eighty episodes ago.
Wow--even Yeonga's not very nice today! Yeonga not being nice?! Everything is going bad in this one.
"Did you make an appointment?" Yerin brought a gift for the boss and Junior Butt Kisser won't even let her give it to him? What a loser. A future Mister Executive in training. You're starting to suck, dude.
Oh no, the bottle broke. This whole thing is BORRRINGGG and who cares anyway? Just go to the lady and get another bottle. Stuff breaks. And now CEOdad put Yerin in the cooking show--why? He would never do that, not after wanting Seyeong and Jeonghyo to do it and not after seeing how much of a troublemaker she can be. The whole thing is incredibly badly thought out, and it's not even important enough of a storyline to care about. Really had hoped the show would trend upwards as the end got nearer, but it seems to be going the other way. Lousy episode. So there.

Thank you for correcting that obvious subtitling error.
Remember which font you used because you'll probably have to do the same for at least a dozen more characters before this thing ends. The stupidity virus is spreading like wildfire.

Hey, wait, there are two of those silver things in the film company office, not just one. What are they? And by the way, what's with the giant Audrey Hepburn headshot? I recall hearing a while back that Koreans tend to think of Audrey Hepburn as the most beautiful woman ever. Why? Because she had (get this) a long and skinny neck.I kid you not. As for the silver refrigerator things in the office, you got me. Those things look so ridiculously out of place that I can't imagine why the set people put them there. I keep thinking "there must be a reason why they did this," and then I remember that this is "Tale of Two Sisters," where nothing really has to make any sense.

I saw her photo. Dang, her neck is long. As for the Koreans liking her for that.....yeesh, thats new. I've heard about East Asians thinking big eyes are attractive but the long neck is the first time I've heard about it.

What is so difficult about getting that soy sauce? What's it made with--crack?
So they seriously are going to keep up with this competition thing? What a dumb storyline. And totally implausible.
So the recipe book is back in the picture. Glad they didn't forget about it. Seyeong, you didn't even make a copy? Duh! Well at least now you're not responsible for it any more.
Baker Dad is lovesick? This is beyond belief. Another dumb storyline. Somebody needs to slap some sense into him. HARD. And then slap the writers. HARDER. But how about PSBmom calling it absolutely right! But then she backed off: "He wouldn't go for that witch." Enjoyed that scene. "Maybe I have an eye infection." Wrong, Baker Dad...obviously it's a brain infection.
Darn it, she's back. And what happened to your blouse, Sara? They forgot to finish stitching it before they sold it.
Yongdeok and Misuk talking, that was the best scene a while. I keep saying this--we need more scenes like that where we get reasons to like these people and not just see them being idiots. Was well-acted too. Really enjoyed it.
And what do they follow it with? Gieun. Talk about a buzzkill. goawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoaway...but okay, at least Donguk knows now that his mom is a dirtbag. So that's progress.
And now what the heck is with the shirt CEOdad is wearing? That is utterly bizarre. Half oxford, half lumberjack. But uh-oh, is he going to remember something about the accident? Did Yerin admit to it in her panic?
Don't do it, Jaeseong...she's gonna drag you down like Moby Dick! Don't be a fool...oh, too late. And besides, if the network employees are going to vote on the episodes, well, would anybody vote for anything Yerin did, considering they're all avoiding her like the plague and don't trust her? Not a lot of suspense here.
"I'm really strong." You sure are, Yerin--a heaving mass of sculpted muscle.
Good heavens, look at what Yerin is doing to that poor onion. She's like a knife-wielding psychopath. (I know, the question there is, do we need the "like." Probably it's only a matter of time.) But when her eyes tear up and she gets up and walks into the wall, that was worthy of anything in the early episodes. Just a momentary thing but it cracked me up. That was darned funny.
Wow, Misuk snores like a drunken sailor.
Well this is just getting dumber and dumber. Two grown adults going out into the mountains at night? And they just start wandering around separately, and in seconds they're so far away from each other that they can't hear each other shouting? Really? Will we really feel sorry for them if a tiger eats them? Charles Darwin would tell us it's natural selection.
P.S. Whatever happened to that whole thing about Baker Dad and the grocery chain opportunity? That was such an interesting storyline for a whole bunch of reasons. One of which was Mrs. Kim's involvement. Of all the storylines they've left untouched, that's one that I really wish they would get back to.

That's pretty interesting about the neck thing. I can see why Asians would like her face; her features are more understated and she has a sweeter look about her as opposed to a more intense look. And if large eyes are popular with them, she certainly has those...but the neck thing sure is odd. There are stranger things out there, though, so why not.
If it's true, then the project that will obviously save the Han family's film company is a documentary about giraffes.

CEOdad, why do you think you have to go out there? Why don't you just have the police GPS-track Seyeong's phone? That would be a lot faster, and at least they'd get there before a tiger ate her. Seongsu thought of that when Gieun was lost--maybe he should run the company.
Well, they made it out of the woods and a tiger didn't eat them. Anybody disappointed? Seriously, they went out to that construction site at night and nearly fell down a shaft. Seems like they deserve some sort of misfortune for doing a nearly identical dumb thing again.
Donguk, what are you doing getting involved in this? You don't know squat about the industry. But I will say, the writers did a good job of hiding the different people from each other in this plotline so that nobody knew who anybody else was until the restaurant scene. The've done a good job with this kind of thing before in the series, too.
Baker Dad, I cannot believe what's happened to you. Of all the silly things that have happened to storylines in this series, this has got to be the most disappointing. I know, the heart wants what it wants, but it just seems totally out of character--TOTALLY--for him to be attracted to that woman. Or am I wrong? Seriously, somebody tell me if I'm misjudging this.
Yongdeok had another nice scene today. Amazingly, it was with Gieun. He's been a good character lately.
The way Misuk got irritated and tossed that spoon at Yerin and it clattered on the table, very funny.
"You're being too cold to him. He's your dad." Thank you Seyeong. He's being a real butthead....But you know what, after this episode you can sort of understand his side of it. Maybe not agree with it, but it was good to hear Jeonghyo open up about it and give some insight into what he went through as a kid. That kind of thing is what gives a series more substance and depth. We could use more of those opening-up scenes.
Wow, great, Jeonghyo and Seyeong were awarded the project that was THEIRS TO BEGIN WITH. And only turned into a competition becuase Yerin lied about what happened with the accident, which CEOdad now realizes is a lie. Stupid and irritating. And Yerin's program looked about as interesting as paint drying. And really, Yerin, bringing in that food--now people will expect you to be able to make it again. You've armed a time bomb for yourself. UGH!
Wouldn't it be funny if there were a store receipt stuck in the serving trays that Yerin didn't know about and somebody finds it afterwards?
"We haven't tried Seyeong's dish. It would have been nice if she had brought some food to try." Hey Mister Executive--you suck! If you wanted that to be part of the rules, then you should have said so up front. And now you're letting this influence you? Do me a favor--go out in the woods at night and get some water, okay? And then go check on that shaft at the construction site. I'll watch out for tigers. Won't say anything if I see one, but I'll watch out.
"I want another chance to compete with Yerin. I want all terms to be fair this time." Seyeong, could you possibly be a Bigger. Freaking. Idiot. You won on fair terms--in fact, Yerin bringing in that food slanted things against you and you still won. What is wrong with you? Shame on the writers for this. A lot of this recent idiocy is because the series was extended by three weeks. If they didn't have the material to fill it, they should have turned it down. As we've been seeing, clearly they didn't have the material.
P.S. I just took another look at CEOdad's accident sequence. How could I have overlooked it before--that loopy 8 thing that suddenly started vibrating and toppled, that's the one thing that hit Yerin, and it gave her the cut on her head! The way it suddenly started going crazy for no apparent reason...maybe it's the South Korean equivalent of the drones we use to take out Al-Qaida. It senses and attacks extra-annoying TV people. Wow, turn some of those things loose in Hollywood and the carnage would be mind-boggling.
