Not to make light but he or she as well having a warped perspective on relationships must not have seen very many Korean dramas to think this scene was Rapey ... BOF anyone? As well a countless  forced kisses and wrist grabs. But These two people are relationship goals in real life. 

I agree. While it seem like a norm for some dramas to show women being forced into a kiss or being grabbed forcefully by the male lead, JY and SP has shown a mature and more natural love line. No dragging out of confessions, no second guessing from the leads. It was straight forward and it was refreshing to see. I didn't expect they'd be an item in the first half of the series. I was expecting that they'd probably get together at the last episode. And no, it was not borderline rape. It's absurd to say that. It was two consenting adults who found comfort in each other. Nothing wrong with that. ;-)

Exactly. These two are so refreshingly realistic. And don't even get me started on BOF and any other shows that romanticize crappy behavior of the sexual variety. When I first started watching kdramas I started thinking that behavior was part of the norm (for this culture) because it was so prevalent in the shows I was watching which is absurd. 

[RobinM]

Thank goodness alot has changed in K dramas since then... females are usually stronger, more driven and the men are more gentle with the mandatory cold richard simmons phase shorter . I don’t believe you would ever see the scenes from BOF on a drama today.

I mean in a romance drama.The back hug, the front hug, the kiss scene and the bed scene(ep 6) would have been spread over four episodes to show growth in their relationship.But we dont have time for that here, after all is said and done.The romance(regardless of the sweetness) is NOT the central plotline.This is a legal thriller drama.We have 8 episodes and 7 baddies to put behind bars.The story is first of all about revenge and justice.The second half of the drama will need to drive that home.So am ok with how things are moving at present.

I was the one saying that previously. Now it's kinda safe to say that he's been listening to viewers' reactions about the romance part in Ep 6 and offer a slightly different approach in

I would like to think that the writer wrote that 2nd date as a natural progression of a couple dating and not written as a different approach because of viewer's opinions on the first "date" which I thought was really beautifully touching. I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

Me too. I was of the opinion that things were moving to fast when all I had was a promo and no context as how they got from E to Z (I won't start them out a A because there was some progression in their relationship). However, once I saw the episode it made sense and I enjoyed them immensely. I personally love the way their relationship is being handled and see no need for the writer to take a different approach because of what others are saying. Heck, their relationship in general is already a different approach to how relationships are usually done in kdramas.

Murder of his uncle.

Seriously, Thank You @m i s z CHEN  Mdm Cha really just opened up a can of worms to her past.. Thety could have framed himn for killing anyone but his own uncle the man that rasied him from the age of 10.. I guess they say he killed him to take over his gang when they have made it to were he will inherit it.. SMH Maybe they'll use the art gallery aa the excuse..

 

Well playing catch up to everyone comments and til haven't brought myself to watch the latest episode don't want to face the facts that uncle is dead..

As far as JY not recognizing her mother, I think it has more to do with her believing she's dead due to what HM said. I mean he is the guy who would've killed her so I think it's perfectly logical that JY would believe his 'sorry' was confirmation of that. Plus it's not like JY didn't think something was amiss about her mother. She kept looking back at her at the funeral even as she ran away.

@kjoy  HM left Jy a clue that her mom was alive but she just hasn't connected that dot to the equation.. When he told her he owed her no apology for anything is when she should hgave gotten the clue.. My problem with this is when that light bulb will shine over her head to stop thinking otherwise.. 

With the next two or three epiodes I look for them to either try and kill BSP while he's lock up CMS has to get JY away from BSP and render her powerless in order to keep her in control..

Just finished watching the latest episode and I need the new ones like, NOW! I wanna know how they'd get SP out of prison. Damn, that city of Kiseong is one dirty city. 

@allythefangirl  You should know that CMS and AOJ got a no bond hold on BSP.. They can't afford to add this to there problem he's out in bail to continue wrecking havoc to there organizattions..  

 

22 hours ago, kjoy said:

Actually thinking about CMS and HJY I find it interesting that outside of trying to send HJY to Seoul, CMS hasn't had any vindictive feelings toward her or even tried to retaliate in a drastic mean way. She didn't threaten to ruin her, she even offered to get her a job at a big law firm. When talking to NSJ in front of HJY's mother she said that HJY basically declared war against her, but it was said in such a way like she was disappointed...hurt even. When HJY came to her office in episode 3 to ask about getting BSP an extension so he could prepare for HM's trial CMS asked if her visit was a personal or business and when HJY said business she seemed disappointed.

 

Ironic that everyone works overtime to be in CMS' good grace and yet she's the one working hard to be in HJY's. She looks down on HJY's father but wants her to call her mother. I think there's genuine affection there. Twisted, but genuine. 

@kjoy CMS don;t do anything without reason she offered to sebnd JY there not only to get her away from BSP but also using her as a stepping stone into the big law firm she may want to take over being that she is a snake and will stab her so called friend that runs it in the back using JY..

 

Well gotta go still got  pages to back read after work I'll breakdown and finally watch this episode to give my thoughts and question

[kjoy]

@sava2sava I'd hardly say that HM telling JY that he owes her nothing is an obvious clue that she should've just immediately gotten about her mother being alive. I didn't even connect those dots and I have more knowledge as an outsider looking in. 

 

As far as CMS I'm not denying that she's a snake, but I just don't get the feeling that she wants to destroy JY. I'm starting to think that maybe she has mother issues of her own and maybe she's trying to recreate a relationship with JY that she never had with her mother. We know absolutely nothing about her mother, literally no one ever talks about her. Does she exist? What happened to her? It surely would explain her obsession with JY and need/desire for her to call her mother

The seemingly fast progression of the relationship between Sang Pil and Jae Yi is pretty natural & was expected for anyone paying attention to the show early on

 

Ok forget love and whatever but the tension was lingering since day one(or two)..who remembers this scene anyone?(This is just one example..they are plenty more but  dont have the luxury of time to gather them all)

 

Anyway as @zenya22 said..Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...lets rock on everybody..

Don't you find it weird that we only know KYH's mother and not the father? It was as if he never existed. NSJ seems to have been devoted to CBH. The way she cried at his funeral was really telling, while CMS remained stoic all the time. She only killed the man because he insulted her father. However, her action had more to do with pride and not with loss. Striking is that NSJ wants her daughter to surpass CMS... so here is my question: Could KYH be the illegitimate daughter of CBH? This would explain why NSJ has been devoted to CMS but also her ambition: she wants her daughter to become powerful, even more powerful than CMS.   

I don´t know why, but ever since last week i think that KYH might be AOJ daughter...

 

On 3/6/2018 at 11:42 AM, kjoy said:

I'm personally of the belief that CMS actually resented her father and the reason she killed that man for insulting her father is perhaps because it's closer to what she felt about her own father than maybe she should.

interesting theory... and i think you are right. She says to AOJ that she thought her father was more close to him than to her (or something like that) and she wants to surpass him maybe out of an inferiority complex that would explain her personality...

 

On 3/6/2018 at 6:49 PM, zenya22 said:

Just some thoughts as we are waiting for the subs. I think uncle Dae Woong already knew or anticipated that it is a possibility that he might die. He went to his enemy’s turf by himself refusing the escort of his men knowing what a vicious reprobate AOJ is whom murdered his sister. He had a mission to accomplish for his sister. I would think that he took care of business just in case something happens to him, that he had a contingent plan and did not leave SP defenseless. I am thinking that he died leaving an ace in Sang Pil’s sleeve. Something or someone that could surprisingly bomb the Cha/AOJ Golden City plan.

And remember he left a lacky in Seoul who knows about JY's mother...besides that i think uncle's men must turn to BSP now...

 

On 3/6/2018 at 6:49 PM, zenya22 said:

What is with JY’s father? Is he that blind? Or does he blame CJA for his wife’s disappearance? He just chased his daughter into the arms of the man he never wanted his daughter to associate with. It also does not seem that he is that keen on trying to discover the cause of his wife’s disappearance. It was more JY who kept saying that she will never give up looking for her mother. If only he knew what Cha thinks about him, that his feet were not worthy enough to step into her house, that the whole house had to be scrubbed clean when he left.

I agree about JY's father... lately i have no patience with the man. but let me say that JY was at fault too. Why didn't she tell him about CMS and AOJ from the start. She kept her father in the dark both about CMS/AOJ and BSP...

 

On 3/6/2018 at 6:49 PM, zenya22 said:

My bet is they will end happily ever after, that it is more of justness than revenge, that lawlessness will end and they ride the sunset or wake up to sunrise together.

I would put all my money on it! Not only they deserve such an ending, we deserve it too!

In the mean time, I dunno why naver page hasn't reported the Tnms ratings yet. For episode 7 it was 6.0 % and for episode 8 it's quite surprising, 6.9 % nationwide and 8.1 % for Seoul Metropolitan, with a peak of 9.9 % according to this article published by Herald Pop:

http://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=112&aid=0003036906&lfrom=kakao

 

I knew from some fans were kind of upset with the ratings because they wanted it to soar beyond 6 % already lol... at least that's the impression I got when I looked at instagram timeline this morning lol. However the competition has been quite tough as well. therefore, for LL being at the #1 spot for cable programs in four consecutive weeks so far can already be considered a success! we should not overlook this.

I must confess i was one of the upset fans... so thank you for the news, though i still don't get it. I read some explanations about ratings before, but still i can't understand how ratings work in Korea. what's the difference between them?

It's been a while since a drama that I've watched has given me the urge to come back to Soompi Forums.. until Lawless Lawyer aired!! After watching the latest ep, I couldn't resist coming onto here to read and discuss about what's gonna happen next!! 

okay so just like everybody else.. ep 8 GOT ME SHOOKETH!!! 

ps: the last time I participate in a soompi forum for a drama was Scarlett Heart Ryeo.. seems like Lee Joon Ki's dramas always brings me back here.. huehue ^^  

I still think MLSHR is my favorite drama ever and So my most beloved character, so i can totally understand you... but BSP is getting close. lol. Maybe you should join us in Lee Joon Gi's thread too

 

On 4/6/2018 at 6:10 AM, NoonaE said:

It's just one mistake- a HUGE, FATAL one at that- that both Uncle Dae Woong and Sang Pil did in this episode, which cost him his life. They were caught off guard. Both thought that Jae Yi would be the ultimate target of AOJ- because she's a woman, a weaker one. Unfortunately they're just HALF correct. A criminal with a criminal mind *pun intended- boy didn't I just recall the tagline of Lee Joongi's previous drama lol* like AOJ is apparently aiming for more. AOJ didn't cut ONLY one of Sang Pil's arms- he wanted to cut BOTH, and he started out with the STRONGEST one first, because if you get rid of that one already, the weaker one is a piece of cake. Yes, Uncle was a famous thug- but I believe he's famous because he was good at martial arts. He had no evil mind like AOJ... he's playing by the book, using his fists in the most literal way- to defend but not to hurt, just the way he told SP. Uncle would like to get Sang Pil's hand as clean as possible even if that means he had to deal with the bad guys himself. He said that the only reason he was still a thug was because he needed that 'power' to protect SP. He might have just thought about a plan, especially after meeting JY's mother *we didn't really assume that she worked at the masseuse parlor just by coincidence, did we?*. Probably that's why he seemed confident to meet AOJ in person - not knowing what would come his way. Both Uncle and SP focused on JY but they forgot that their own lives are also AOJ's target.

Agree, both BSP and Uncle were focused on JY's safety. That was a smart strategy from AOJ. But I was discussing with sister, if Uncle was protecting JY, why do it alone? why not with his men? why he left them in seoul? maybe he had a secret plan that we don't know yet... i trust writer

 

On 4/6/2018 at 6:10 AM, NoonaE said:

About CMS's reaction to SP's arrest... she was caught off guard, too. She might realise by now that AOJ isn't the AOJ she used to know and she has to be extra careful. Lol I really want to see later when she finds out NSJ and YH also plan to 'stab her in the back'.

Yes i think it's a bout time that CMS realize that AOJ is not the dog she thinks... from start i think that AOJ has his own agenda...

 

On 4/6/2018 at 6:10 AM, NoonaE said:

It'll be very interesting to see how JY tries to defend SP as his lawyer. She doesn't work like SP, but I think she has learned a thing or two.

btw i think some time has elapsed since BSP was taking to jail and first trial... maybe episode 9 will be a long flashback?

 

On 4/6/2018 at 6:10 AM, NoonaE said:

If there's a small thing I would 'complain' about would be JY's mother's appearance. I think it would be easier to accept the fact that JY couldn't recognise her because they changed her physical appearance a bit more strikingly (not only the haircut lol). But as for now, I'll settle with the possibility that little JY might experience a trauma that caused a selective 'memory loss'.

I have no trouble believing that JY didn't recognize her mother. I didn't recognize her either... i only knew she was her mother when people pointed it out (i'm talking about the first stills that were published, when actual episode aired i already knew. BTW mother didn't recognize her either). I think there's people like me, you just put some glasses or change your haircut and i won't recognize you...and after all JY was only an 8 years old child. i barely has memories from that time of my life.

It looks like the blind masseuse was an AOJ plant... she confessed to it but then I wonder... Was she really? It was never proven. Ms Nam never confronted AOJ with it, she only assumed he was behind it because he knew stuff. What if the blind masseuse was a CDW plant all along? After all, if he can get JY's mother on the short list and school her to say the right thing in the interview, why couldn't he have planted the blind masseuse first and get her to confess? Just some thoughts from an over active imagination.

I wonder about it too. too much of a coincidence that blind masseuse was discovered so JY's mom took her place. And blid masseuse got out of the grip so easy?

 

On 4/6/2018 at 4:19 PM, kjoy said:

I cannot believe a man would have such blind devotion to a woman who can't even muster up enough care to even know his name. She literally referred to him as "Jae Yi's father". And then he has the audacity to berate his daughter for calling her Judge Cha. Like dude what is she supposed to call her, high priestess?   I'm over him already. 

Well maybe here someone who knows more korean than me could explain better (or maybe i am wrong). JY called CMS Judge Cha instead of Judge Cha nim. Omiting that honorific particle might be considered disrespect or even insult in Korea. Everyone in the drama (lest BSP I'm sure) call her Judge Cha nim. Now about CMS calling him JY's father, i don't think there's nothing wrong in that. I mean a marriage couple in Korea when they had their firstborn starts to call each other like that. IE the normal way for JY's mother to call him woul be "JY's father" and viceversa... i know it's that way for couples, and i'm almost sure it's the same for other people (from what i read and what i see in other dramas)

@kjoy @NoonaE I was particularly disturbed when the dad left and CM complained about a ‘smell.’ Like maybe after she hugs all those orphans she has to take six showers and like she has a germophobia for those ‘below her’

Well she used antibacterial gel after shaking reporter's hand

Really liked eps 8. Shed some tears at the birthday celebration for JY's mum and also when SP's uncle got killed.

So i wasn't the only one crying at their date... i didn't cry when uncle died. i bawled. every time i watched the episode

This drama is fast paced and I like it. Not a boring moment. CMS's reaction to the news of BSP's uncle's murder shows that AOJ is not the dog that she thinks she can control. I was surprised he agreed to donate the shares to her father's funds. I guess he didn't have a choice. But on the side , he is also showing her that he does not really consider her his master. I also like the treatment of the  romance here -  very sweet and matured.

Not a boring moment indeed. and no, i don't think AOJ just donated his shares like that, i think he got a plan... and yes romance is awesome here. way better than in most of "romance" dramas

@violinaYes, let us talk about the date....perfect, perfect day.

 

It began with an assertive, me Tarzan, you Jane let’s go vine hanging. But that was done to clarify and declare to all and country that he,  BSP is JY’s man and she JY, his woman. And the day turned out amazingly sweet. JY had once told SP a secret longing she may have kept to herself all these years, that she had stopped playing the harmonica because on the day her mother disappeared mom had gone to buy JY a harmonica to play for her performance at school. There is such openness and trust from JY to be able to talk about what hurts her heart to this sweet, sweet man, something she may not have been able to talk about even to her father. She felt guilty about not having been able to do anything for her mother like celebrating her birthday. Because her mother had disappeared and not knowing what happened to her, there was never a closure for her. SP had said to her that she was young and there was nothing she could have done about it. But he goes further to soothe, comfort and love her with a date. He bought her an outfit and flowers and then walked her to this scenic park where he surprised her with a cake and candles. He told her they will celebrate her mom’s birthday. What woman could resist such sensitivity? She was utterly undone, in tears because maybe for the first time in a long time someone totally understood her feelings with no judgement. Her response was a most gracious kiss on the forehead. He looked at her with such tenderness, caressed her face, wiped her tears and so gently , tenderly, slowly kissed her. He then took her to what it seems an overlook high above where he must have presented her the harmonica to play and she played to her heart’s content and because they were high above, the music will be carried to wherever mom maybe. As she was playing the harmonica he gives her a back hug enveloping her, assuring her of his loving presence. This is a day dedicated to JY where he gave all of himself for JY. This man could melt a stone heart. Did somebody say that writer Nim is a man? He is a man who understands women.  That is why I have hopes that the ending will be written as beautifully and happily for this two lovebirds. Can I ask writer Nim for another romantic date for the ending?

Oh, as always love your desscriptions...

By the way, a couple of days ago, I happened to come across a review of Ep 6 written on a quite famous drama website. The writer criticized the 'weird' romance scene and went as far as saying "'Jae Yi only needs a hug and anything beyond that would be borderline rape''. Ok. I know that the drama isn't perfect, but errrr... I thought Jae Yi was the one initiating the contact and it seemed consensual and mutual? I am also a bit 'offended' on Jae Yi's behalf... lol... she's not a whiny type and she's very aware of her feelings and conducts~ this is what makes her unique and rather different from the usual 'damsel-in-distress' main character. Simply saying that she cannot make a decision over what she wants to do with her mind and body (as well as a relationship) would be borderline undermining. Anyways... to each his/ her own (two cents). I'm still happy with my proactive girlfriend Jae Yi

 

OMG. this is madness... are we watching the same drama? because all i see was 2 adults having a consensual kiss and then spending the night together and waking up happily... They both wanted it, enjoyed it and participate in it!

And it's not only that BSP won't rape anyone ever... but JY won't allow to be raped without putting up a fight.

I think SP had already developed feelings for JY even before he roped her into the firm. Take a look at the graduation flashback where he gave her a bouquet of flowers, knowing that she only had her father to celebrate the occasion with her and also when JY threw a punch at the judge, he gave this proud look that says "that's my girl".

Agreed! I remember the uncle telling him not to trust anyone in KS but he said he trusts her because he watched her growing up - he knows her. The flashback of the graduation just shows that all along he has been watching her growing up...from day one I already felt like he was attracted to her. Maybe he was interested in her growing up because of the way their mom's situation played out - i mean, her mom did save him. and his goal is to get revenge, but i think at some point when she grew up to be such a strong lady with a spunky and attractive personality, that's when he grew fond of her.

 

As for JY, in the beginning she didn't like him but you can see that she gets to learn more about who he truly is after working with him. They're both sincere and open so I'm not surprised the romance developed so fast. It's exciting and very refreshing - no beating around the bush, no mildang push or pull - you just have 2 people who are attracted to each other who share a common goal - i think that common goal also brought them a lot closer. not to mention these are two people who have painful pasts who find comfort in one another. nothing wrong with that and i love it!

she did try many times but he refuses to listen and the last time she emphatically started to tell him she got slapped for it. He is a man who had a wife that he purportedly loved. He could have asked for himself what happened to his wife who just disappeared in the middle of the night. A husband would endlessly seek for answers. It seems to me the daughter was the one doing so and the father and husband just was never interested or just was too cowardly to do so. I would not blame the daughter for the father's stupidity.

@violina The romance was very much part of the plot of the revenge and I don't know why their being an item in the 6th episode is seen as abnormal or objectionable when it is already shown that they were 2 grown up, adult people who were attracted to each other, had so much in common, both wanting to comfort the other, both wanting to give to the other. It was so understandable.

Junki - welcome back to drama.... but man, you're too thin! Just finished watching all 8 episodes, and its great. I'm still disturbed by the fact that Junki is so thin. And how come no one talks about his character's father. Also, everyone knows Mayor An is dangerous, and they forgot to protect the people who mattered most to them. Sigh. Good bye SAm-Chon!

 

As for the romance part, yes it was kinda abrupt and then they went platonic? haha

@realistic2280His father is not a factor. It was always only him and his mother. Maybe he got hit by the white truck of doom? 

 

He is full of muscle underneath those suits. He has been fighting hard  and training hard most of his life. It’s the lean mean look of a gangster Of course he won’t look  soft.

 

I think there is some plan at work... the Big Boss dosen’t ever meet  people alone. 

 

Ha! If they spent the night she ran away from home discussing the particulars of criminal law than I am friggin Kate Middleton

@RobinM - haha Truck of Doom.... yes, but its good to hear what happened to Bong Pil's father since his mom was awesome.

 

I think he looks great in that doomed Moon Lovers, but this is just way too thin... he is probably thinner than Jae-E/Jae-I (depending on which translation I have been watching,hahah!). But all those bones and veins on his hand, i think is too much, he needs to gain more weight.

 

Yes, I know right... it actually calls for sexy time but alas, other things are on their mind. How old are these two again? 50 years old? hahhaa
