Oh sure, but my point was that there won't be romantic intimacy between the leads for a while - she's even likely to leave, is my guess.

I fear I am on the same pafe as stuart (that alone is not bad, but the meaning for out leads might)

Life is a rollercoaster ride. Sit back and enjoy.

For our leads will be some drops ahead ... and at least one more looping

said: As naive and as pure as MY... I think she is confused about Gun's intention because of the divorce contract and SR..Gun truly had fallen deeply fallen in love with her, loving her more than ms prima ballerina.though Mr CEO just have to say the words! in order for MY to realized that Gun is a change man because of her. The time of SR and Gun of being lovers I think is not enough ..even if its a 6 years relationship I don't think its all on a lovey dovey moment level all the time, as SR is busy with her chosen career same with Gun. Its a different case with MY, she has the warmth the care the kindness sincerity a woman possesses towards her man.Gun felt this and through these he fell for her.with SR out of sight all the the time..Gun's heart became lonesome and When MY came along ..that is when he was able to open his heart again..

You guys make me laugh.
Other drama fans swoon if the male lead holds the lady's hand. Or even rant when he does a wrist grab.
Here we are discussing his repressed desires after an abstinence period. And how come the OTP have multiple bed scenes and there is not even any action. Just shoulder patting in bed. LOL. Even when the guy is on top.
You are all killing me. =))

And the best part- you are all serious. About checking whether he has slept with a woman before.  As in more than sleep and how many opportunities he has had. No whether this is his first kiss. Or his first love. Or even just dismissing his past relationship. Like other dramas do.
Like I said, I am in fits laughing over the seriously,well thought out posts. You are all correct, and really rationally, logically discussing it. However it just shows... that the writer must be writing quite different from the usual genre or plots- if our discussions are these posts. And not whether the heroine is getting water splashed on her face etc etc.

:\"> Have we left any stone unturned? Any motives yet undiscovered? Has someone proven conclusively that LG is used to being s****ly active and he is feeling the lack of ? practice?

It makes me wonder the difference of Gun as boyfriend to Se Ra and as a husband to MY.  It's obvious that Gun is loyal and is a very romantic guy.  But the way he acts with MY, it's like he's never been in love/in a relationship before.   The way Gun was acting it's like it was the first time that he was involved in a relationship.  It just makes me wonder how his relationship was with Se Ra.

[MaurienL]

Right on the spot you are there! At first LG seemed stumped with MY's reactions - even when he was deliberately being mean - she's just so without any guile. Just a sincere and genuinely kind hearted person. And LG just couldn't keep up his meannie streak with MY. Now that he's let himself crawl with the snail and just enjoy the sweet slow ride to falling in love, he looks do carefree when he's with MY!!

I'm sorry Sera, but you should respell Lee Geon to Lee Gone - he's gone from your life and gone to MY's loving arms

Maybe I am the only one who thinks so, but my guess is Gun has NEVER slept with Sera. Why? Because he would have felt guiltier when he had that one night stand, it would have been the same as his father did to his mother. So eventhough he was under influence, the guilt would have been heavier cuz he did something like his father. And the way Sera and Gun behaved, Gun was sooooo nervous around her: like someone who waits for a compliment or a caress from someone he worships. If they slept together, Gun would have been more confident, something he is when he is with MY.

Rewatching episode 8, I just want to shout, "Bravo!" to JH and JNR! When JH delivers the "What about me?" line after MY's confession, it's perfection! Then, JNR comes back with that oh-so-soft, barely audible, "I'm scared." She totally grabs my heart and I feel everything she is feeling at the moment. Those two line deliveries are cinema magic!

@ yoeda, thanks a million for sharing, I could not find it anywhere. Now I know the meaning of the song I am listening and singing. ^^ @ chealses, thanks a lot.. I was thinking it might be about you know what and my hunch was right..

i think ratings have something to do with the length of the program as well. i remember watching king of dramas (kim myung min and jung ryeo won) 
"Anthony has a planted spy in another broadcast company (the hint being that it’s MBC) who tells him that their rival show’s running time is just over sixty-five minutes. So, if they can make Elegant Revenge one minute and thirty seconds longer, they can scoop up last minute ratings when nothing else is airing."
http://www.dramabeans.com/2012/11/king-of-dramas-episode-1/comment-page-2/

these are the running times i got from youtube for thursday. 102:24 IT'S OKAY THAT'S LOVE (4)100:29 JOSEON GUNMAN (12)
59:07 FATED TO LOVE YOU (10)

i am hearing js is good but still...it takes me a lot of time to warm up to ancient setting movies/series. iota seems to be okay. jo in sung is such an eye candy. gong hyo jin is not that pretty but so pleasant to watch. it helps that she really does act well.but ftly is truly a heart tugging and endearing. the warmth it radiates is like that what lg feels. hope it doesn't tank in ratings as i suppose there will be 10 more eps to go. (which drama replaces it by the way?)
----i hate that they cut the shower scene wherein my is drying lg hair. why?
and i read somewhere that they also cut lg making a fuss over daniel escorting my at the gala. 
choppy editing hope they do better.
----find it quite a bit saddening that people are arguing over whether spoilers should be posted or not. 
i've watched the tw drama and out of respect to those who get affected by spoilers, i hardly make a spoiler reference to it. i do agree. 
----i love the taiwan version, but even loved the korean version way more.

1.  well for one the storytelling is more solid. i find it hard to believe a mother would readily give up her child, which is what xy did. my didn't. the progression of how they fall in love is so gradual and believable. it helped that lg is shown as more human and considerate.
   [*]seasoned actors are good investment. the Jangs are totally hitting all the right notes. while lg is a reminiscent of dokko jin, and i loved cha seung won, i find jh's approach much more endearing, it is slapstick, but more on the tolerable level and not too much. oh the hand gestures are so telling of his hidden lust for my.

i didn't mind at all that they changed tidbits and it really made a difference to make it a whole lot better than the slapstick tw version. 
i am so curious what happens next as it seems it is going in a rather different trajectory. i wonder if the whole moving to shanghai thing would happen as there is no press release of them going abroad to shoot. i find the turning point in the tw version so strong but i don't know if i want that happening to our sweet and innocent my and considerate lg.
a lot of people are hating sera but i do feel for her as well. she's more humanised in this version. i hope her background story will be built on more solid ground rather than anna. (oh well one cannot solely blame it on the writing. bianca bai as anna was so blah i never quite got what the character felt with her acting.)----on a side note i can't log in to my account using iPhone. it keeps saying i have yet to register a password. but with mac air i am able to with ease.

[anopinion]

A lot of people have been speculating that Mi-young is actually having twins, but I think that's quite impossible since they would have heard 2 sets of heartbeats during the check-up. The big head thing is just the PD/scriptwriter making reference to Jang Nara's (well-known) small head size. Plus, having twins will make the miscarriage a lot more painful.

I regard miscarriage as a certainty right now. I'm not going to think that it's not going to happen, because the plot needs a big push and it's the perfect plot device. However, I must clarify that I'm a nice person in reality and of course I don't wish for it to happen, it's just 'cause this is dramaland.

I'm not sure whether the TW plot plays a part in how things will play out, but just for reference's sake:

In the original version, Chen Xinyi (Kim Mi-young) dressed up as a hen during Ji Cunxi's (Lee Gun) and her own birthday, during his celebration with Anna (Sera), to give him her present (a pen I think). I think the Korean version has completely deviated from the original in this aspect so maybe it's not so relevant. Perhaps the Sherlocks and Poirots in this thread can try to find a relationship between the two and make it work.

It has also been mentioned several times that what Lee Gun has for Sera is not true love. I won't be too quick to go into that. They wouldn't be together for 5/6 (?) years without love. I'd prefer to think that Lee Gun still cares for Sera, but is falling in love with Mi-young. That would make him more "real" as a person. And if what he sees is hallucination when he first woke up, then it would suggest that Sera is still extremely important to him, no?

@kappy, yeah I was also surprised seeing MYgetting out from the bathroom wrappedin a towel.. isn't it that it was one of her "gifts" for LG? Bcoz why of all days does it have to be his birthday? Hmmm.. ) :-\" @‌ sunset90 nice editting on the snail.. nowit's really the symbol for "Yuri dal peng-i" .. ; @maryamzulaikha‌ thanks for sharing. Nice to know uri JH contributes some great ideas to the drama.. Wahh! I am still at page 294, went out yesterday so need to catch up quick. . This thread is so fast, and I love reading every post.. #:-S

Maybe he hasn't been chaste for three years...maybe "a woman chaste for three years" or a "widow" (as other translation says) is some sort of saying we are not aware of. I mean there's a reason why he said woman and not man, right?

He has been intimate with Se Ra. But he has to be chaste with MY and wait until she's ready. But MY is within his reach. That's why the waiting is so painful for him.

[honeywell]

Is Gun stopping himself because he's waiting for MY to be ready or is it because it's not part of their contract? The stipulations of their contract is that they're only married in paper and don't have any obligations to each other.

[heppy]

@fourleafclover‌ agree with your assessment of Daniel's character. He must have a magical GPS to detect MY, he keeps turning up left and right where she is. =.=

Regarding the talk about what geon said at the psychiatrist's, my take is that he was just exclaiming his frustration that he has to behave like chaste lady which his body is obviously protesting - not that he really was one. Haha..

Like u, I really like epi 10 too. The only part I dun like Abt the last 10min was Daniel's "confession" - like why? It's Damn selfish to me, she already has so many issues on her hands, n he just wants to impose on her just because of his feelings for her? Really made me depreciate his character.

For geon in the hospital, I think the writers are trolling us - what with the huge reaction to amnesia. Lol! N one logical explanation to sera popping up, is that the nurse picked up geon's phone while Secretary tak was not around n told her? Haha
