  1. @sanaeozora ah was it a rehearsal? that would make more sense then. I was skimming a little bit in some parts cuz of time constraints then.. so I must have missed it. 

    I'll rewatch again later hahaha 

    Thanks for explaining! :)

    And yeah, I think the N. Korean Lt. was also trying to warn them.. 

    I wonder why there were feathers (? at least I think they were feathers) everywhere when YSJ got shot.. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

  2. Will they ever finish watching a movie together?? hahaha I feel like that might be a running joke until the end of the series.. 3 more eps!! :o 

    I think most of us saw YSJ's life being at risk coming.. just a matter of when. I kind of like that they brought back the NK soldier .. makes the introduction scene less random to me. And who knows, the scene might have been just set up to make the NK soldier look like a bad guy, but he might have been coming to help/warn them about something else that was going down. Or he could just be a bad guy. But I would appreciate the twist since I kind of liked their begrudging respect for each other. Like if circumstances had been different, they could have been bros in another life type thing.

    And yeah, bullet proof vests should just be mandatory right? haha. But maybe it wasn't supposed to be such a dangerous mission. And it looked like their guard was down too.  Who knows. But no bulletproof vests = more drama ahah

    About doctors not operating on people they're close to or related to. They are not supposed to as they would be too personally invested and emotionally compromised. BUT seeing as this drama is not always true to medical standards or realistic ones at that, as a viewer, I want her to be the one that saves him. And I want it to be intense! And for KMY to shine!! :P

    I actually think that bringing in the whole Argus dilemma and what to do after you're done serving your nation as an active soldier would be interesting. And I wonder if the story would then somehow reach out to Daniel and bring him back into the story that way (assuming he's not some evil twist as others have speculated). Since he was introduced as a humanitarian doctor with a wealthy background .. right? Because while YSJ serves his nation because he is a soldier, he also really lives by his own code and honor (protecting the elderly, young, and the.. pretty lol).  So I feel like if he can still be fulfilled in some other way doing those three, he would still be happy in the end. And with KMY having been denied her loan and unable to pursue her own clinic, I think she would be open to change too. 

    To be honest, yes, today's episode was slower in pace for the most part and a lot of fluff. And as much as I love GooWon couple, I wish they didn't have to break up AGAIN. I just feel a bit tired by their story because the conflict mainly arises from what seems like ego/pride--YMJ's dad and SDY. Is it so bad if her dad ultimately agrees to their relationship for his daughter's sake? I get it, SDY wants acknowledgment. But let's not think of just the battle, but also of the war here, right? At least they got some more cute scenes in before they split again. 

    And I will say that while I really enjoyed the cute scenes between KMY and YSJ, without an overhanging danger of either a big bad like Argus hanging around or the will-they-or-wont'-they of the OTP, the first half felt a little slow for me. LIke there was no tension, so the pace of the episode, while it was still fun, felt a bit lacking compared to all the high drama before. Because since ep 1 things felt like they were constantly moving and happening. It was still a nice break though and I liked how it showed how "normalcy" might look like. But I'm glad YSJ's life being endangered came up relatively quickly so they can show us more about KMY and YSJ's developing love story and what happens beyond just coming back to Korea. A lot of other kdramas end when either the OTP finally get together.. but isn't that when the lovestory really just begins?? So yeah, tell us more writers! :D 

    And could we get more kiss scenes before the end?? A surprise kiss scene would be amazing.. And I hope tomorrow's ep isn't full of JUST flashbacks and there's actual progress made in the storyline. 

    KES has been pretty good at moving the story along so far .. so .. I hope she stays consistent in that matter :P

    Let's just live in our own fanfic world after it's done, aye? Hahaha... 

     

    hahahaa honestly I actually wish the remaining eps and ending along with the BTS ep will be satisfying enough that I don't feel the need for fanfic. That only really happens for me if I feel unsatisfied or unhappy with the ending. But that's just me. I just really want a good ending. Not a sad one. Not one that feels unfinished.

    On another note, I know that a melodrama can also be in reference to romance. But in my experience, a melodrama is typically sad. So it kind of concerns me whenever SJK keeps emphasizing that above all the different genres shown by the drama, he ultimately feels it's a melodrama and to focus on the couples. >.< Just a small bit of doubt. I really hope to him melo=romance. 

    And yeah, the thread has been a bit quieter this week. And the shipper thread has been hustling. It just depends on the type of news being released I think since otherwise, this thread would be bombarded by SHK SJK shipping posts and other people and mods would be unhappy with that.

    Plus, like previously mentioned, ep 12 left us not on a cliffhanger, but wrapped up a bunch of storylines at the moment. But with 4 eps remaining, I think there will still be a lot to discuss, no worries.  The article with the director was interesting.. and kind of concerning.. since he mentioned that every remaining ep might feel like the last one.. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?? haha

    OOH! but a new BTS was released like I had hoped!!! It featured the scene where she asks him to get them coffee from ep 12. It's so cute and they are so giggly. But I don't really know why SJK can't stop laughing.. haha I feel like something must have triggered it  cuz it seemed like they showed the NG after other NG's were made. What was so funny? hahaha

    New ep tomorrow guys!!! I'm so curious! I hope rating are even higher! :D

  4. @melissala hahaha I know. That thread was moving so fast because of their travel to HK. 

    And technically most of it was just spazzing over SJK and SHK.. which gets you flagged here since it isn't technically totally drama related lol since it's a thread shipping the actual actors and not just the characters. And I think it's getting harder to not ship them because their onscreen chemistry is so GOOD.. and with interviews/pictures of the both them being so scarce.. I think there's like a real thirst right now haha. That thread just exploded!

    Once the press conference gets going and interviews start coming out about the drama, there should be more activity here.  And especially since ep 12 kind of felt like they were wrapping things up in Urk, the end didn't leave us on a cliffhanger.  There's just kind of less to discuss in terms of the story right now I think because the viewers are just in a wait and see mode for the most part. It's hard to say what will happen right now, except for what we can speculate from ep 13 preview, which isn't very much.

    But it's not totally bad since I feel viewers are also blurring SHK/SJK with their feels for KMY/YSJ... so while there is less articles at this moment about the drama, there are still articles being released covering their arrival in HK, which in turn is keeping interest for their drama. So I hope, despite the lack of a cliffhanger at the end of ep 12, more viewers continue to stay interested and push the ratings up for the remainder of the show. 

    On another note, I wish more BTS was released. >.< 

    But I wonder if they're now saving everything for the 3rd episode of the specials, since the first 2 special episodes are basically highlights/recap of the show I believe. And the last one is supposed to be more BTS. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I also think it's pretty funny that KBS Entertainment Tonight has basically been almost all about DOTS the past 2 eps. It just shows how much KBS is trying to milk this thing. hahaha I wonder if they will interview anybody else from the cast next week :P

    maybe the ending is on the wrecked ship, i have seen the picture both of them sitting on the deck with casual cloth white-white

    That was a scene was already broadcast and shown to be KMY's imagination and wishful thinking after she rejected YSJ and he left for Korea and before the earthquake. Kind of like, she wished that would happen. 

    It could be alluding to the future. It is KES who is writing this drama haha. 

    For now, I don't think it's the end shot. The ending could definitely end up there as we had previously discussed. And I doubt they would show a screenshot of the last scene. But who knows..

    Whilst KMY has been worried, maybe for months and returns to URK to return the pebble to the beach wishing to see the captain

    and then the captain reappears and end of episode 16.

     

    Ah, I thought of this exact scenario. I really hope it doesn't go this route because it would feel so unsatisfactory to me. I would much rather they return together. Or at least not have them be separated for a long period and then have him randomly show up at the end you know? 

    But please KES, I hope you are more creative than this. 

    Ugh, I would just really hate this type of ending. It feels like a cop out ending to me. Even though it really would be a very typical kdrama thing to do. 

    JG said the ending would be satisfactory.

    SO I'm hoping his word holds true.

    You know what would SUCK? The whole "unexpected situation" being them at the same place they were at the beginning of the drama where KMY thinks he is too dangerous to be around. Yeah, they love each other but after this, will KMY still be able to take another step towards him? or will she run into his arms and continue to accept him wholeheartedly? She is mostly likely very shaken by the situation and I dont know how her reaction will be when she sees him, she may be happy at first that she is being rescued but when they are safe and discuss what their relationship is, will she continue to date him? UGH. This makes me so sad. 

    @MairaA That would suck. But I don't think it's going to happen. I feel its much more likely that it will be the other way around.. That YSJ will blame himself and push her away. He's obviously shown some regret that in turn for saving Argus in the past, his senior was killed. 

    It would be much more refreshing, however, if this doesn't stay an issue or really become too blown up. As I think Argus will eventually be killed either by YSJ or the US army as he's being used by the army, and once his part is up, I don't think they care about his life. Hence why Argus wants to get out ASAP. 

    I feel like it can go many ways right now, so just going to wait and see what tomorrow brings.

    Loved how well KMY emoted through her eyes and the stares between her and YSJ this ep! 

    Hoping for high ratings!

    :D

  8. @lilhanh so sad. I had written a response to your post about YSJ and bad timing and then .. my computer spazzed and it's all gone.. :(

    Anyways, from what I can recall: .. lol

    I totally agree with you. And I literally cracked up reading your post because I had the EXACT same thoughts! And I know I've mentioned how important timing is and how things really just never seemed to line up with KMY and YSJ. But recently I actually watched the past eps and once you get past YSJ's charm, witty words, close proximity, and intense gaze (that's a lot to get past!) I feel like I can understand MY's hesitation even more. The timing of his confessions are just.. so.. bad. Right before he leaves. Right after she's been crying over Manager Go. I get the whole "seize the day!" but hahaha poor SJ. 

    Yes, lucky for the speaker confession. But I also thought, lucky the MY has better timing for her confession. And lucky again that SJ is much more forward in his skinship and initiates the kiss!

    Another thought that crossed my mind... While SJ's confessions, though heartfelt, were always a bit pressuring and really about him and what he was feeling in the moment for MY in the hopes she would reciprocate but I think actually knowing she wasn't ready. But it's also good he was so persistent since that's partly how he won MY over. Just that to me, MY's confession about her staying for him, seemed just a lot more significant. Because it was like her saying that she is willing to accept him and his profession despite her concerns. 

    And I know people felt that it was pretty mean of MY to throw the possibility of her leaving back at SJ's face earlier on, but maybe I was the only that had felt kind of like.. HAAH! Now you know how it feels to be left hanging. Because really, SJ leaving Uruk without even saying bye after his confession was kind of not cool. Yeah he got rejected, but it still was pretty cold. That may be just my opinion. And the important thing is that she chose to stay, and didn't beat around the bush about why--Him! You could tell he was surprised and touched when she just told him she was staying because she wanted to be with him longer. 

    And on another note, I'm so happy to read that not only SJK and SHK are getting a major popularity boost (understatement for SJK lol), but JG, KJW, and other supporting roles are getting positive attention. But really happy for JG. He's been solid for a long time in smaller roles or less successful projects. So I feel like he really deserves some limelight. I'm sure his long term fans must be so happy. 

    Six more eps guys! I hope the momentum carries through to the end!!

    i really love this scene so much. although mo yeon still doesn't accept si jin officially at that time look at how they sit so closely with each other:wub:

     

     @enzek And you know that this gold card is going to come back into the story in what I would expect to be at least a fairly significant way since KMY made such a big deal about it and it again would make the whole scene to save the VIP not just plot/action filler, but give it more purpose to the storyline in retrospect.

    Because it's KES we're talking about here. And that's what she loves to do. lol

    @gilaswan I think it's because in Korean the words for breaking up and beating up sounds pretty similar. So when Nurse Jae Ha says she'd like to have them break up, Dr. Song being the laugh that he is makes a witty comeback saying he'd like to beat them up instead.

    The bag had me confused too, but I guess once you've kissed like that there're no "yours" or "mine". Lol, anything that belongs to Captain Yoo is rightfully KMY's property. I presumed that they acting funny because they wanted to appear normal since they didn't want anyone to know what they had been upto ( they didn't however know that they had hay stuck in their hair...lol).

    Was catching up and wanted to help clarify this.

    @gilaswan @joongkyo Actually if I'm recalling the scene correctly, Nurse Jae Ha says looking towards KMY's direction "She's going to be so embarrassed later. I want take it off her." 'It' being in reference to the hay in KMY's hair. Then yes, Dr. Song does do a play on the term "take it off" by looking at YSJ's direction and saying "He must have been really happy. I want to hit him" in a joking/jealous manner implying he wishes to do the same *nudgenudgelol*, making Nurse Jae Ha mock reprimand him per usual as she says to him "I want to hit YOU' lol. The terms "take it off" and "to hit" sound similar and therein lies the joke, which may not be so funny anymore when it's explained completely like this haha.

    I guess the confusion might come from the fact that the term used to say "take it off" can also be interpreted as "pull off" or "pull apart" as well. Which is where somebody might have misinterpreted that Nurse JaeHa says she wants to break them apart. But I'm pretty certain she was referring to taking the hay out of KMY's hair to try and help her save face. 

    As for the bag, I thought it was just assumed that he carried it for her from the truck. I'm not sure if they particularly enjoy it, but it is considered good manners in Korea for guys to carry their girlfriend's bag so I don't think there's too much to read into that. And they probably were acting awkward because they were back in a common space and trying to act like nothing had happened, but of course that's what made the hay in the hair that much funnier cuz it's like the chip in their armor. And I think it's also that.. back to reality and need to be professional... but still highly aware about what "happened" in the back of that truck so it feels kind of awkward sentiment. I mean, they had their first (apparently intense) makeout session. So I'm sure they probably felt a little off kilter. lol

    Hope this helps! :)

  11. Sooo..

    I haven't seen any previous mentions of this article yet.. 

    I actually was skimming Naver articles and happened to come across this one article. It's really just speculation, but seems really plausible. So plausible that I was felt like it could be a spoiler... 

    SO FAIR WARNING. It might be completely wrong. But then again... who knows. If you're really curious, I've linked the article and summarized the basic gist of the article as I understood it with the general feel of the comments as well as my own thoughts. I'm gonna hide it as a spoiler just in case. 

    Spoiler

    http://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=109&aid=0003286221

    Essentially I clicked on the article because I saw it was mentioning the scene from like Ep 2 (I think) where KMY was admiring his x-ray because it was technically the only "photo" she had of YSJ. I just was curious as to why it was being mentioned again now. 

    My korean is pretty ok but still a bit limited. So I'll just summarize what I understood the article to be saying since it's easier than to translate the whole thing. (If I missed anything major or read something wrong, feel free to correct me.)

    Basically, it was noticed that in his x-ray, his heart appears to be located on his right instead of the usual left side of his body. (Not sure if anybody even noticed this way back in the thread.. too many pages to backtrack! if you did, you have keen eyes!)  And this kind of anatomical anomaly, while rare, does happen. So the article was saying that maybe it was just an unnoticed detail and the scene holds no further meaning other than to serve as a dish of cute. OR it's a foreshadowing of what's possibly to come. 

    My thoughts? OH MAN. I had just posted not too long ago about how KES likes to refer to moments earlier on in the drama.. moments which necessarily seem to mean nothing much at first but when you go back, makes you do a double take. So this kind of stuff and detail in this drama seems actually plausible... something that KES would really love to do. And actually would be a GREAT twist. But, why leave such a big hint? If it's true, then maybe she thought or hoped viewers would not notice? I know I didn't catch it. Not sure if it would be like the end-all story plot, but this kind of thing, I can totally see it playing into such a climatic moment near the end of the drama (which is why I decided to place it under spoilers).

    The comments were along the lines of my reaction.  People are speculating that YSJ will get shot in his "heart" and people will mostly assume he is a lost case. KMY will operate on him and find.. voila! He wasn't actually shot in his heart. And the top comment actually is pretty great because it predicts YSJ will say his typical line "That difficult thing to do, I did it, me." HAHA per his top priority in keeping alive. 

    Of course other people were wondering how KMY would just overlook that large detail as a doctor. But others were willing to overlook it for the sake of the drama and maybe she was so lovestruck at the moment to really notice. 

    And others felt kind of annoyed they had read this article because it seemed like a spoiler. :/

    AGAIN, this is just SPECULATION. Like previously mentioned, it might not be anything and the reporter just had a keen eye and was reading too much into things. And if even that is the case, and the x-ray was just a mistake or accident on the part of the onset staff, I still thought it was a great observation nonetheless. Because really, that would be a great and particularly clever plot twist on part of the writer. Although, if it does become true, a part of me would then wish the x-ray hadn't been exposed haha. Because with or without the x-ray, the anatomical anomaly would still be rather unexpected. But I could still appreciate the writing and the fun fact that the writer had left bread crumbs throughout the drama in this way. 

    But this gives hope to me in a big way that if the story does go this way, the writer would be essentially setting up for YSJ to die, but he won't and our OTPs will be safe. (And I say OTPs as in plural because I really believe if there's a couple to worry about dying .. it's SongSong. GooWon is going through so much right now, that it just doesn't seem logical to have them become even more tragic. And SongSong is like in constant danger but somehow making it out ok these past few eps.. it's like.. something wrong just seems bound to happen at one point right?)

    Anyways, sorry if anybody feels I may have shared a spoiler. The key is, it might not even be a spoiler! (but what a great spoiler if it is right? haha sorry). But I did give fair warning just in case...? >.< I just felt like I should share this article even though it might be nothing in the end. Nothing might come from it at all. But I thought it was interesting enough mention. 

    And not sure how many people will actually read this so not sure if there will be even future discussion about this article.  I just felt like it should still be handled under possible spoiler. But that's just my judgement and opinion at the moment. It's really up to you. :)

    Something must be up which we obviously have no clue about and we'll never get to know, but I believe that the atmosphere during the drama was in fact very friendly between all co-stars. I've read many accounts of the supporting cast members who have said lovely things about the work experience. 

     

    I agree. I think they all worked really well together. And the drama is evident of the good teamwork.

    Whether something is up. OR NOTHING AT ALL. And it's just me. I have no problem acknowledging that ahaha

    But I do think that it's important for co-stars to recognize each other, even if the public doesn't recognize them equally. It just seems like a good thing to do. And like you said, a healthy process. 

    Oh wells.

    Even the time he was filming Nice Guy, his mention of Moon Chae Won was very scarce and when he did mention her, he made sure to mention her with Park Shi Yeon. Given that Song Joong Ki is skilled in the PR department, I usually take what he says with a grain of salt. Not that he’s a liar but we have to understand the nature of his career and this is likewise with all actors.

     

    Ah, that's actually good to hear for me. Since I was actually hoping it was cuz he was just being too cautious, too professional, and careful with his words in public. 

    I never doubted the quality of their personal and working relationship since I know they most likely do get along. I did see the secret photo a fan took of SJK, LKS, and JIS taking a pic with SHK's poster add and laughed cuz it was too cute. Plus, SHK would not post pictures of him and JG on her IG if they did not get along. 

    But it's just a bit frustrating when his other peers are encouraging each other and he's pretty mum on the topic. I do understand he wants to prevent a scandal most likely in consideration for SHK (I mean she was getting so much heat on that article about on-screen couples that became real life couples and the comments were basically.. leave SJK alone! -.- just, really).  But I also think it's to manage his image since he is really booming right now. So whether it's his consideration or his management, I don't think it's a weird coincidence he's not saying very much is all. And i wish he would. And it's not cuz I ship them in real life. (If they date or don't date, I'd be happy either way). But because I feel like SHK deserves some acknowledgement and credit too. Even if it's not that big. It's still a kind thing to do. And I believe there are ways of expressing it while maintaining professionalism. But I also get that other people may read way too much into it and so he might be more likely to err on the side of caution. Kind of like, better safe than sorry type thing :/

  14. A couple thoughts:

    In terms of SJK and SHK not getting along well, unless there's actual proof, I don't think people have to worry. Especially since SHK posted a pic of SJK and JG and a pic of the her and SJK together on her own personal instagram.  I don't think she would post these pics if she didn't have positive feelings towards him. And considering she's a pretty private person, I think it says a lot. 

    In terms of SHK's kissing skills, I've been a long time fan of her, and while she may not be known as the best kisser in kdrama-land, I think her lack of reciprocity in the wine kiss scene was strongly character driven.   Also, people seem to be referring to her past "track-record" of on-screen kisses.  But you kind of have to understand that SHK started acting REALLY YOUNG, even though she often acted in more mature roles. Pluse she's been acting in major dramas since the 90s from Autumn in My Heart and so forth.  Back then, closed lip kisses were basically as far as you could go to be considered "decent" or "acceptable".  Yes, kdramas were WAAAY more prudish than even now. Holding hands was like major skinship. Even through Full House and All-In, one or two kisses, with typically a "big" kiss at the end was probably the most you could expect between the main leads. And then you look at That Winter The Wind Blows with JIS, and you kind of know you won't get much physical contact since .. well.. she thinks he's her brother for like 90% of the drama -.-... in which case, the only other "modern" drama you can actually refer to would be The Worlds Within with HB.  And I would be more inclined to say that even then, those kisses were more character driven (since the two didn't really develop strong feelings past friendship until a while after filming was completed).  Of course, you can mention that SHK and HB may have had really good underlying chemistry.. in which case, I don't think you can deny the chemistry between SHK and SJK as acting partners as well. So all in all, I think we will have at least one satisfying kiss (balcony kiss, I'm looking at you! haha)

    On a completely DIFFERENT note: KMY's wardrobe...any thoughts?

    I haven't seen very much comments on this topic and wasn't sure if it was worth bringing up.. but it is a bit distracting to me sometimes. And it might just be me. I understand they want to make the female lead look not too disheveled and still appealing, but bringing heels and wearing sandals as a medical professional WHILE working is just not accurate at all. Especially in a supposed war-torn country. One of the main things health professionals need to consider is safety, and closed toe shoes is just a basic given. And then I just couldn't help roll my eyes when I saw she was not only wearing her skirt still, but her heels to the trauma site. I get the symbolism of her breaking the heel and then receiving the boots. And I understand her beaten down feet show her dedication, but it also makes her seem a little naive.  Like, she's supposed to be a great doctor who's knowledgeable about trauma, but she can't even take a minute to prepare herself and change to appropriate wear? At least the other members were in sneakers.   But what irked me even more was that NONE of the medical team had ANY safety gear... no helmets and no masks.. not even on anyone in the background.  I kind of cringed that there were no gloves anywhere too, not even at the makeshift tents. 

    Granted I still was super happy to see a stronger KMY portrayed and loved the scene when the OTPs were reunited. But it's a shame when you notice things like this that kind of take away from the story.  I understand things won't be accurate to real life.. they rarely are in tv or movies...Like how MJ's hair should technically be always tied up in a bun per army dress code, but it's not since her hair down is more feminine. Small things like sneakers and safety gear which can be easily included without taking away from the story to extend a sense of realism are instead forgotten. And that lack of attention to detail in turn counter's the character's supposed high ability, which is a bit disappointing writing-wise.  It just shows maybe a lack of research, laziness, or just disregard because who cares, as long as we get product placement and the lead is still pretty running around in a skirt.  Unless they really thought it might not matter. And in the end of the story, it doesn't. Except to me, it seems like it's a minor injustice to KMY's character who is supposed to be a strong female lead.

    But I guess if I'm really being really honest with myself, this drama is not even about accuracy right? Just romantic fantasy. 

    Sorry again for the long post!

    For me it is not about the sweetness that 'hooked' me but her reaction which is matched with her character. We all want to see her made up her mind, not lustfully fall into the arms of YSJ so fast, but to love him deeply. This kiss is part of the process, she tries to coolly avoid it, or even talked about it because she need to think on her own. In life I believe it's the best option, somehow we (girls) met a perfect guy amid of chaos, but taking the first step knowing all the risk isn't the easy process. I love how both of them manage to keep their relationship after the kiss, I think that's the sweet part.

     

    THIS. I totally agree. I think this aspect of their story is what is actually really refreshing.  In past k-dramas, any small kiss would be this biiig deal (not just to viewers) but to the characters themselves, and it might take a whole episode or more to pass before the main characters finally just face each other and try to move past it. Especially if the relationship is not fully there yet. But it was so nice of both MY and SJ to still be able to be together without BEING together (if that makes senses).  Not too much hum-hawing over the kiss itself. It's actually really mature the way both sides handle the kiss. 

    To us viewers, the kiss is like this super momentous occasion (for obvious reasons).  But for SJ and MY, it's just the next natural step in their relationship :) 

    But I admit, my expectations for the balcony kiss is way high. Especially since MY seems to be much more .. compliant in it. I hope she instigates it! (And I hope it's not near the end of the drama.. because I feel like I may be getting spoiled in terms of OTP, with a kiss only 4 eps in, then mouth-to-mouth. And we know that there's another kiss from the poster. And the image of the balcony kiss. Now I just expect more.) :D

    @smiletall wow, i love your angle.

    I think we have seen too much of YSJ's side that we forgot KMY hasn't. We sympathetic YSJ so much, we mistaken him keeping her in the dark and nature of his job as an old issues, those are issue that came a long time ago but never gets old. KMY has to live with YSJ comes and goes without telling her anything and a probability of him never coming back alive, if she were in relationship with YSJ.

    @ladyme thanks! 

    I (jokingly) blame the bias towards SJ partly on the writer KES since she always writes really romantic and charming male protagonists.  She really knows what will make female viewers swoon.  And then I partly Song Joong Ki for just being so LIT in this series. HAHA 

    But it's true what others are saying: it's really only been 5 eps. Which isn't that long episode wise. And despite the time jump, their relationship is still barely developed. There's a lot of opportunity for growth. SJ might be the more obvious interesting character too since it's really his storyline (backstory and occupation) that seems to be driving the overall plot for now. So I also hope MY will also grow more as a character.  And the writer has her set up for that growth, so I see potential.  

    Overall, there are definite flaws and the cheese in this drama is no joke.  BUT the fact that there is no love triangle is actually more than satisfying for me at the moment. It's just two couples figuring things out. And they have more than enough obstacles on their own. Plus the chemistry of both couples are GOLD. 

    I also am hoping for some female bonding too!! It's only fair right?  And I actually hope MJ will be one of the people MY can eventually turn to when trying to learn to cope with a military relationship since she has more awareness of what it takes.  Though, I hope the conversation doesn't present itself in the form of a catty encounter. 

    Hoping for high ratings! :D
