This said, you are right: our differences - among all the things we agree on - are very interesting, and I must say I have pondered them more than once. Possibly because you always express the reason of your taste so well, I find myself agreeing even when I disagree (does it make sense?). ;)
As I said earlier, I've had a very conflicting relationship with this drama, because it is undeniably a great show: it's well acted, very well directed, the script is actually fabulous and the cast doesn't even need a mark: they are spot on.
Oh, and the whole stuffed pig incident is outreageously funny.
Let's say that in this case I've tasted a Chateau Lafitte and didn't like it: a connisseur would chase me away with a baseball bat. Therefore, I completely understand why you love this drama and I'm also convinced it's fully deserving of its success.

I have a harder time understanding your love for the Hong Sisters (the famous ones), though. But that's not the right place for a hongs debate. Let's just say that they would never - ever - come up with an intelligent script like this one.*

*couldn't help it... sowwy.

The toilet scene. XD I wonder if he used his sock...

Ok now I'm at this club scene and WTF! That foreign DJ is giving me the heebie jeebies! He's sporting a really long curly mullet and creepin' on the ladies telling them to shake it and show him the love. :eek:

For example, that chick's purse. He grabbed it and wouldn't give it back unless she had drinks with him. Um Hello? I don't play games like that. You yank on my arm? That's assault. You steal my purse? That's theft. No I will not go with you, I will contact the cops. Enjoy your stay behind bars! ;)

Episode 12:

**Yoo Hee Jin needs to see the signs. She clearly has feelings for Henry, she even mentioned to Sam Shik how different he was from Henry. She and Henry match up well together.**

I loved the scene with her climbing the mountain, growling and grumbling the whole time. I was cracking up at her screaming in the wind and rain. **Then Sam Shik shows up and I got a little ticked off that he was looking so fabulous in that weather. I would be looking awful and have a red nose (looking like a drowned rat). lol** How is it possible to look so good in weather that awful?:/

though i will say i was disturbed by just HOW fat they all seemed to think she was. even factoring in the racial differences, she was treated like she was a friggin blimp and she wasnt. worse was all the buzz about how much better she looked in Scent of a Woman, in which she played a woman with terminal cancer!

though she's still really thin in I do I do she seems to have put on enough so you cant see her vertabrae or count her ribs, which i sure was totally possible with her " scent of a woman" bod.
