Epic

Shin Hyun Joon and Joo Won are two of the best actors!!! Joo Won had me breaking down with him. He should get some kind of acting award for this episode alone. The pain was palpable.

On another note?WTH would they give the assignment to find and kill Kang To and Bridal Mask to the biggest incompetent idiot of them all??? It is laughable. Then we have to watch his stupid a$$ torture Mok Dan??? I just wanted to scream.

Some of you may think this is harsh, but I find it vastly amusing that they killed Kang San thinking that they were going to hurt Kang To. All they did was turn him into a raging killing Bridal Mask machine. Stupid!!! Kang San at least had some control and had a purpose whereas Kang To?s purpose is going to be so much harsher than they can ever dream.

I almost feel sorry for Shunji, because he doesn?t have a clue as to what is really going on.

This drama rivals King2Hearts for being the best of 2012 at this point. I am loving it!!!

Perfect ending..

Recently many good dramas have been ruined for me because of an ending ( for example - Rooftop prince )but this was just PERFECT!!!



It was sooo sad - and it was thrilling 'til the end as I had no idea how he would return. But the solution was perfect...

It's definitely a drama which will get a 10 points from me!!! :)

woooow.. so cute becomes sooo sad..

The beginning of this episode was so cute. I truly love this couple. As this scene where he dissapeared - before that I had that feeling that - what is going to happen now ? - the atmosphere was just too wierd.

I don't get it why he was able to go back for a moment ?



and the ending of this episode was just toooo sad.. I felt like I wish to cry, but the tears won't come out....

What now???

I find it fascinating that they have taken on a subject that is controversial all over the world. Even in the states, people still fight about abortion. I don?t want to debate the issues. I like how they show it from every perspective. On paper it seems like Ji An should have the abortion to continue her life plan, but emotionally she would like to become a mother. What I don?t like is that she told the Eun Sung, but didn?t tell Tae Kang. I get that on one level she thinks he is a kid and she is trying to protect him in some way, but I think she should still tell him. Well, it seems like the doctor isn?t as understanding as I thought he would be. Maybe she is going to end up facing this alone, but it is from her own design.

The best episode yet..

I loved this episode.It was heartbreaking to see Hee Jin crying thinking Bong Gu has died. I just kept repeating that "He can't be dead!" I knew that he must have some cleaver plan and luckily I was right. I'm so glad everythings fine now. But I'm just curios what on that two more episodes???

Tragedies built heros !!

Oh, such a sad ep, so sad, so tragic that became so freaking awesome !!

So yeah, my hateful hero Lee Kang To lost his mother and brother in one night ! and moreover he killed his brother with his own hands, tears and sadness all over the place in this ep, so freaking awesome !!

This ep was the birth of my hateful hero's Gaksital : when u vanish someone's family like that expect to create an anger ball and a soul seaking for revenge at any cost so my hateful hero is Gaksital now, that means beside his hateful self he's now a hero, a vengence soul and one freaking anger ball that will destroy anything in front of him, i'm so liking him this way !



Side notes :



1)I liked the move where the joeson people burnt my hateful hero's house so no one would be suspicious about the death of his family, it will only be in my hateful hero's heart forever !



2)Omo, my hateful hero killed that stupid Kimura Kenji (he so deserved it) and now he became enemies with Shunji (at least as Gaksital), i don't want that, don't want them to fight all the time :(, even though i'm thinking it would be exiting .



OMG, nxt ep is going to be so great as my hateful hero is Gaksital now, i really can't wait T_T.

Now moving to ep 7...

Why?

Why did they have to kill off Orihara? I liked her. And what was with the sadistic torture guy?? He was so creepy. That was so sad at the end where Maya touches Kanou's cheek and says, 'it's warm'.. that made me sad. This show has killed off so many people i like! And OMG Brutus was a complete curveball! Not in a million years would I have guessed it was who it seems to be. But then I guess that's the perfect person to be Brutus, nicely done screenwriters.

-_-

The Yagi tangent was annoying i'm not going to lie they're probably going to use him to get to Haruka. I also really, really disliked the coworker, he's really an idiot for falling for something like that again.

Daebak !!

Wohoo, this drama keeps getting better and better!!

In this episode we got the chance to see my hateful hero Lee Kang To smile, it was a little unusual to see him smile but don't worry it didn't last too long he went back to his old self in no time; just hateful as usual.

This ep was full of unrevealed emotions and sometimes there was sad feelings all around like near the end when My hateful hero's mother got shot, that Kimura is just bad news, killed her then went like nothing happened, hell is coming in ur way when my hateful hero finds out !!



Side notes :

1)Why the hell did my hateful hero saved that girl who came from japan 5 years ago?! Dunno why but i'm sure she's going to fall for him badly in the future, just wait and see.



2)It was weird how my hateful hero treated Mok Dan after knowing she was Boon Yi, he was jalous from Shunji somehow and now he knows that Boon Yi is Esther; big trouble on the way for the 2 friends, i told u that girl is a bad fortune!



3)That Mok Dan keeps treating my hateful hero badly, well, it's not like he doesn't deserve it anyway but she have to know that he loses his nerves quickly, i wonder what would happen if she finds out that my hateful hero is the young master she have been waiting for this hole time : Big shock!!



This drama is really addicting and i'm really having great expectations for it *Praying* it won't be messed up!

My hateful hero is making this drama very enjoyable, u're just adorable bcz u're hateful ^_^



Now moving to ep 6...

TRAGIC!

hey we all knew Kang San had to die for Kang To to become Bridal Mask but OMFG I can't believe it was Kang To that killed him!!! Did not see it coming! All his family died within one night too!?! Well its pretty common in drama world but its even more shocking this time round!!! Kenji deserved the death he got!!

Man this episode is by far the best so far and gotta be one of my favourite episodes I've seen! It definitely will just get better now that Kang To is Bridal Mask!!! Its going to be epic...Kang To playing a Jap mutt AND Bridal Mask...playing on the two sides....ITS GOING TO BE F*****ING AWESOME!

don't run on high heels

I liked it.

First of all, a female character to my liking. Obviously Kim Sun Ah plays whatever role with such effortless ability, one truly believes it's one side of her personality. But the character is well written too so far. Her stance to problems is hilariously self assured, and I love a woman who can quote literature.

I could have kissed her for the way she treats arrogant customers.

The "morning-after" scene had me laughing out loud, awkward but believable.

Don't know about the guys yet, but - funnily - right now I don't really care. I like to think this drama's about her.

Rejecting a gynecologist by telling him "I have a 50 year old uterus" is pure genius. Not that it really worked, but it's the thought that counts, lol.

oh, beautiful music!

OK, I SWEAR I WAS HAVING A MENTAL/EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN FROM THE DRAMA OVERLOAD!

Oh my golly, it's like a drama packed on a drama packed on craziness... Seriously, Bridal Mask has more drama than A LOT of standalone dramas I know! How the hell are they able to keep up with the suspense? I give a standing ovation to my computer screen the geniuses behind this project. Bridal Mask is the kind of drama that makes me firmly believe that my faith in Korean dramas has not been wasted after-all; it just requires a bit of patience . Judging from the 6 episodes thus far, it is much better than some of the 16-24 episode dramas out nowadays. I tell you, quality over quantity.



Ok, so back to episode 6.



We thought that Kang To had it bad when his mother died from that wretched Kenji, but no, the writer(s) want to add more tension. So what do they do? They make Kang To protect the man who killed his mother by killing his own brother who was only trying to protect Kang To. Is that twisted enough? No, let's make it worst! Kang To finds out immediately that his mother is also dead. There must be questions after questions spiraling his mind. Sadly, he didn't even have time to sort out his business. He realizes right away who killed his mother thanks to that guy. He then gets knocked out in a blur. Low and behold, he awakes, and instead of being calmed down, he sees fire set to his house. W.T.H? He didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to his mother and brother properly. Now, don't tell me that's not bad enough. It's worst than bad. I used to think the quote, "And yet to every bad, there is a worse" applies to my scenarios, but hell no to Kang To. He has been knocked down to the far pit of hell within a span of a couple of hours. I wanted to hug my screen when I saw his face all like that...



All I can think about is Joo Won's poor face.... his face contortions when he found out about his brother and mother's deaths... GAHH. Heck, when he wore the mask, and did all the bad** moves on Kenji at the station, I was punching the air myself! Shunji also looked so awesome when he pulled out the sword! Shunji vs Kangto made me have goosebumps. That's how much I'm feeling the characters, phewww. I seriously didn't want it to end. This episode flew by too quickly. I didn't even want to blink.

Wow... just wow

Joo Won is spectacular that even I'm lost for words. Kang To deserves my utmost thumbs up. He is a truly phenomenal character. Joo Won makes him even better! Without Joo Won, I don't know if this drama would be that awesome. An organized and superb drama requires three things in my book, great characters, great actors, and great storyline.



Originally, I watched episode 5 in raw, and have no clue what the heck they were saying, but Joo Won and Shin Hyun Joon's reactions made me nearly bawl my eyes out. Oh wow... Joo Won's expressions speak a 1000 words. They say that pure acting doesn't account language barrier, let alone require words to emphasize the characters' true intents, and it is during these times that I believe in that saying.



If anyone says Joo Won can't act, then I don't know what acting is then. Man, is he even acting? I can't even tell if this is real or not, since he's so natural in his role .



The way Kang To looks at Mok Dan is deeply touching, especially when he walked in and saw that she was ok. Oh, how he emits tender/loving/caring sentiments at one moment, then lash out in anger at another makes it even more emotional and compelling. I can really feel his pain.



The story is also very unpredictable in many ways. I love how in every episode there's a cliffhanger. Got to hate/love the scriptwriter for that. The twists are also logically laid out.



This drama has it all... it carries heart and soul as well as fulfilling it's action-packed premise.



By far, the most promising drama of 2012 thus far.
