Gambatte!

This episode kept the same dark tone as the first. I think the drama overall will be like this. I love that. There is a mystery that surrounds our two main leads, as she is looking for her father in Japan, and I'm sure once she founds him it won't be a happy event. Something tells me the whole thing has to do with Sho's past. If it is, then I hope for the love of the drama lord that this drama gives me a satisfying ending whatever that may be. As long as I can accept it.

Loving the OST, its well fitted to the atmosphere of the drama. The opening theme is lovely and it has a melancholic sound to it, which sets the mood for the romance in the plot.



So far, everything I had expected. :)

Amado mio

Ahh he finally gave in and made out with the actress. I loved how tense and cold he was right before, In Young should focus on the hottie she works with- who is apparently the President's son, but she's too dense to see that. The stand in groom helped Hyun Joo out in finding her cat, they would make a really cute couple I bet he wouldn't freak out if she stuck her hand down his pants :p. As for Seo Yeon, she's trying to get her photographer back and trying to combat a lawsuit from her ex lover's wife. She does not have it easy right now.

Interesting Plot

I think the success of a drama has a lot to do with the time its aired.

Rondo, is the kind of drama that might not fit the standards of the new watcher. The camera work, the development of the story... some dramas are never outdated, but others might seem less interesting because of the way its directed and such.

I personally love suspense/crime/romance dramas. It is my preference above comedy and melodrama. I love the world of undercover cops/agents, mafia men, spies.

This drama is the right one for me, although the style of the camera is a bit annoying at times because the director seems to be obsess with slow motion shooting and the swirling... yep, makes me dizzy. But I won't let this stop me. The story is extremely interesting, and the actors are some of the best of both worlds (Korea and Japan). No complaints there ;)

O.o

The adultery law sounds so 18th century ^__^ I feel so bad for Seo Yeon, getting sued by her lover's pregnant wife. In Young's feelings towards her boyfriend are so heartbreaking especially when she sees him with the actress in the hallway and realizes that he won't be able to resist her advances. I would cut my losses, I would have cut my losses when he cheated on her five years ago but I guess this relationship has withheld for ten years and its too difficult for both of them to walk away. Hyun Joo's apparently about to rip into her ex, can't wait to see what his excuse was for ditching her at her wedding.

Best friends forever

Wow. Hyeon Ju filling in her groom with a handy man was perfect, it made me go whoaa! As for Woo In Young, she was just about to get rid of all of her ex's stuff when he crawled right back into her bed. But, she found a hair clip in the back of his new car- regretting her decision to take him back. Hopefully she'll let him go for real this time. Oh and Seo Yeon's sleeping with a married man. That pretty much sums up this episode.

Where is Miranda?

I definitely see the similarities between the sex and the city girls and the friends here, but so far it's not caricature-like especially the virgin friend; i'm really interested to see where the writers take her story. Btw, what guy has such a negative reaction to his fiance sticking her hand down his pants? As for the main couple, they've been together for too long, the romance is gone. I almost puked when I saw the flash-forward to when they're old, it was so creepy. Her co-worker seems like he's interested in her, it could be interesting.

*Suspense*

This one was really interesting. It takes place at a medieval castle-like home, filled with execution style weapons and armor! The father even brought up Elizabeth Bathory which I did a report on in high schooL! Yeah, so this was right up my alley. Holmes, the cat, has decided not to help Katayama on this case, he's still mad about the dango incident. He had originally helped Katayama in solving a 6 year old case, Katayama feels like he's useless without Holmes. And Ishizu has come down with a fever, so Katayama needs to step up his game or they are all going to die!

Finally a Decision!

I am extremely happy that Ji An decided to keep her baby and stand up to her parents, although I am a little disappointed by the way Eun Sung reacted to her news. I also thought that Tae Kang was very adorable for protecting Ji An from the alcohol. I think this was a fairly good episode.

No Title :D

This episode was pretty cute and kind of sad, too. I still feel really bad for Shintaro, how come nobody's doing anything even after he told a TEACHER? o.O



But there's always waaay too much love in this drama. So awkward. xD

Starting...

A promising start for me... ^^

I still have to decide on the main lead's character, he's kind of mysterious to me still, 1st episode was not enough to tell what kind of person he is, though he's very impulsive that's a given...hope I see character development, cause he seems a whole lot of raw material, and hopefully the main female works on that carefully and meaningfully...

I wish I had a guardian angel like him...

Determination/ Battle of the Oppas

Yu Bin accidentally gets scouted to become a boxer in Han Sae Oppa's boxing gym. She begs him to help train her but at first he refuses due to his guilt and need to protect her. Because she is so determined, he changes his mind and vows to help her. I can understand his reservations but I am glad he changed his mind.



At this point I find the President Oppa who likes Yu Bin a little annoying and still creepy. He has a stare-down with Han Sae Oppa and it just makes him look ridiculous. His acting ia not all thaat convincing either.



I really like Yu Bin's best friend. She is so cute and i find her crush on that silent boxer dude interesting.

Lose 1 Oppa Gain 2

By this point both of the new guys in Yu Bin's life have become attached to her. Han Sae vows to become Yu Bin's replacement Oppa (due to his guilt)and the President( the entertainment exec who helps Yu Bin during her brother's death) feels like he has to have control over her even gifting her with a brand new motor scooter.

So Much Happens

The middle of this episode was really fun! Theres a club scene in which the main characters(who don't know each other at this point) have a really intimate dance. It was funny cause Shin Min Ahs character was like so lost and uncomfortable but you could tell she was enjoying it. Shortly after someone dies, there's a time jump of 2 yrs which will move the plot along in a nice way I think. I kind of feel like jjm's character used his army service as a way to escape his guilt...



Oh yeah and there's this entertainment agency president who keeps chasing SMA's character that is coming off as creepy even though he just wants to help her. Seems more of like an obsession though...
