I apologize in advance for the double post! I just wanted to get my thoughts out on episode 13 before I forget.
***I completely agree with you on the point that it’s a little messed up that everyone has to be hateful in order for this news to come out to Kyung Joon.
In my opinion, the worst one of these, besides Da Ran, was Ma Ri. For most of the show, she’s been crazy obsessed as we all know, but I never expected her to do what she did in this episode. One of the things I had enjoyed about this drama so far is that MaRi, despite being the stalker she is, had some sort of compass as to what was acceptable in terms of Kyung Joon’s feelings. Here, I didn’t see that. Now, in the guise of breaking Kyung Joon and Da Ran up (read as saving Kyung Joon from sadness), she is again imposing her will on Kyung Joon by hiding behind half-truths.
The evil mother drives me crazy, but I’m glad that Se Young at least grew a pair and stood up to her, at least for now.***
I just c and p'd from my rev. on db, so I'm not referring to anyone's post on here.
