Well that's what actually I'm worried me about. Since eps had been a hit to me, maybe the middle eps could fall into bland and boring hopefully not and it's a pressure for the writers to keep up the intensity.
We have all seen so many dramas start to lose their oomph and have a lot of filler, especially after the first few episodes. So far this has done better than most - Trot Lovers started going downhill for me at the 4th episode. Given how this has gone so far, I am expecting a wild ride in the next 2 episodes, and will be really disappointed if it loses it's way.
It's my favorite drug! And it is the only drama that I watch ongoing, and every week keep refreshing until the subs are out! I just hope they will keep the pace and there is not going to be the infamous 13th episode slump! And you're right about the writing of this episode being totally genius in using the "crappy" situation as the opening only to learn it's higher Just keep on messing our OTP okay?
They are going to be BFFs. Jang Mi seems to be the only one empathising with the mom and the mom is definitely warming up to her. I bet you she is going to turn out to be Jang Mi's biggest supporter in the future. I can see this happening also, even though Mom now acts like she hates Jang Mi, I think she also sees what she wishes she could be or could have been, so perhaps she is also a bit jealous, or maybe just starting to question herself about her priorities.
I love your comments about Jang-mi challenging Mom's ideas about her own choices and priorities. Rather than being accident-prone or a pushover, I get the sense that Jang-mi is a revolutionary who speaks truth to power--or perhaps more accurately, that she is the revolutionary who speaks emotional honesty to a severely repressed, messed-up system. That's why I absolutely love details like in the last episode, when Jang-mi took grandma to task for remaining silent even though grandma knew Jang-mi and momma were being taken advantage of.
And I loved even more that even though grandma was affronted at first, the comment really made her stop and think, "was I complicit in this? Should I have said something? She can't help but speak her mind, and she is in touch enough with her own emotions that she is able to call out the small injustices around her.
Most families have some form of dysfunction or repression that is only visible from an outside perspective. Good post - and even beyond about cutting through the family cover-up bullshit, I think it is also taking a slam at the whole Korean system of "elders - right or wrong, they are always right" Confucian way of thinking. That is a very touchy subject in Korea, but it seems to me that there is some element of that thinly disguised as ranting and Mom and Grandma.
This drama really caught me off guard. There's a certain "freshness" to this drama, or perhaps it's just that I so like the actress playing Joo Jang Mi. I'm glad that Jang mi isn't a meek girl. She and Ki tae have a sizzling chemistry though they're bickering most of the time. Cant wait to see they're getting married!
Jus looking at the images above with their fake date.. If he had laud his cards on the table it would of been a done deal but since YR is the one she believes is pursuing her she can't let opportunities be wasted. LOL really love their fake date! They're actually enjoying every moments,it seems a lot like love ; i just dont really get it why she keeps going to YR, it's not like he's.
He's not that nice either and pretentious,and he hurts her feelings in several occasion before.. There's that magical, element of 'real' and believeable, even in all it's hilariously entertaining high drama. Totally enjoying the ride so far, even though I was turned off initially by her clingyness in ep 1. I think that all families are dysfunctional, they just vary in degrees.

But these 'sets' of parents are polar opposites and to the n'th degree of extreme dysfunction. GiTae parents are controlling and wanting to keep up appearances. JangMi parents are not supportive to the point of abandonment. I loved this episode for the humor and the heart! I loved how we got to see even more sides to them! Also I appreciate this drama having all the characters being multi layered. I feel a lot of dramas dont do this enough. Also I found it hilarious how the fake date started with them being cold towards each other until the end when you couldn't tell it was fake at all!!
A lot like the relationship!!! Thanks so much for the updates by the way!! When I read them I can understand the little jokes that aren't conveyed well if you don't understand the language yourself! Ki-tae's Mom won me over in this episode Plus I am a big fan of Kim Hae-Sook. I get this feeling that despite her own issues, that Jang Mi is the only one that really understands what Mom is going through. Dude, I totally fast forwarded to the end to figure out the reason for the angst, JUST to miss the poop incident, JUST to catch them speaking about it, JUST to be totally confused, then relieved muahahhahahah that they were actually okay.
Not bad, this show. Thanks for the speedy and wonderful recap, girlfriday! I love the writing and where this show seems to be heading. I really love this stage of the contact relationship and that the writing is letting things develop naturally without rushing while still managing to keep up the pace and keep things interesting. I had no idea what to expect from the dramatic angsty beginning and laughed my head off while feeling so bad for Jang Mi at the actual events..
It's going to make watching this drama even more awesome!! There's an actual twitter account?! That's like in Let's Eat when they had the actual Shiksa blog up! The twitter in question is here: I'm just really adoring the relationships, especially between the leads, but also between the leads and Ki-tae's mother. I also love that their mainly Ki-tae's internal issues are still the driving force of the drama, in that, instead of just doing this marriage charade for his apartment, he's really doing it to protect himself.
And I'm really liking the direction the drama is taking us with all the characters. This drama is just clever, fun and doesn't take itself too seriously Best trolling by a writer for an episode. The episode is chock full of metaphors and toilet humor literally? I couldn't laugh at the poop scene. It is awful, I'm imagined it and I thought I smelt it. I don't think it was supposed to be laugh out loud funny, but more of a OMG - laughing and crying at the same time moment.
I jus keep re watching and re watching this drama.. I love the scenes of jang mi and ki tai together.. Haha but this episode was epic.. I really thought he did something horrible to her and u can see in his eyes he was genuinely sorry if jang mi felt hurt by the comments.. I jus don't get why she doesn't see his sincerity.. It's great that his character doesn't really need much work with..
He is friendly and understanding of the people around him but he doesn't give into pressure from either his ex or his mother..
He is able to relate and even sympathize with people which as a whole new element to k drama from my experience Other than opening himself up more I think jang mi has the furthest to go.. Hopefully u can fully understand ki tai sincerity even though it looks like the two aren't in any real relationship but once they start caring and worrying for the other it's gonna get good.. I'm really like this drama up to now but I have to say I just don't love the bathroom humour.
I basically fast forwarded from the "at least have some wine! I'm glad I'm reading these recaps to know what I missed in those minutes, though! In other news, I know there are some Yeo-reum haters out there I love him!

I don't care, I'll keep the sexy man with the sexy cooking and the sexy back all to myself! Obviously not as emotional as an OTP-omg-finally-they-kiss kiss but there's something about him removing the pot to get closer that really did it for me. Idc for YR characte much since i know he is there to provoke the lead but if that kiss was really so satisfying there is hardly any talk of it..
Marriage, Not Dating
Most the time if it's the first kiss and u r really into it.. I myself would of jus toss the pot on the floor but he casually place it on the table.. I feel like the kiss was jus to test where she was at with ki tai. Then the whole u kiss me at night thing.. The dude came on to her.. I get it takes to to mingle but if he didn't force the issue nothing would of happen.. He jus seems even more ridiculously childish to me when he threw away her kimchi I agree with you, I dislike Yeo-reum more and more with each episode.
Marriage, Not Dating
Not just because he's coming between our OTP, but because he seems dishonest. Everything he says and does around Jang-mi seems so calculated and smooth, as girlfriday said, not a guy to trust. But more than that, the way he acts around Jang-mi, blowing hot and cold, with times when he's deliberately intensely focused on her, and then times when he ignores her or even gets irritated at her over stupid things, does not give me "this guy likes you" vibes.
Plus, I don't care what anyone says, no guy would give a girl he likes almost-spoiled food on a "date".
Also, how can Jang-mi not blame him for the poop incident?
