Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


Hello to all here .

To be honest , after a six month hiatus , I forgot to watch yesterday ..I am glad to rejoin in the discussion as I really wanted to finish this viewing . I did not cheat ( or watch any BB ) while we were
away . This year sure is going fast , and it feels as if everything has been non stop - I don't think I am alone with that impression .

I picked up with 115 and I was a bit confused as I tried to remember where we were in the action . I feel that I have a lot of clarity about the characters - well , most of them - as we pick up the story . I am glad to see my favorite break and comic relief in the action , the coworkers in the Well Being office with Haien and Kiwoong at the cafe with Okdoo and ( ?)

Haein is still clueless and Kiwoong is long suffering , but he doesn't seem to be . He can't stay away as he knows she is going on a blind date .

I feel so sorry for Jongnam and Sukhyun because they are at a rock and a hard place . He has declared his feelings for her , and she is denying what she feels for him . I totally get that . Based on the behavior we have seen from Nara , we ( and she ) know that it is impossible . Sukhyun thinks he can handle her , but I would have to say he is delusional . NOBODY can handle her - she has no impulse control , no filter , and if we had some behavioral health professionals here , I am sure we could get a diagnosis .

I am not sure about ImBoem . He may be attracted to Jongnam , but I don't get why he is so persistent when she really doesn't give him any encouragement either . Is it strictly based on his friendship with
Jaeok ??

Then he should date her emoticon .....but actually , Minsook thinks he is a good catch too - and frankly , I am not saying he isn't ....but if Jongnam just isn't that into him what is the point .

On the other hand , maybe Jongnam doesn't really know what she wants either .


Sorry , nelly I am a day behind you this week

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


It is so quiet in the den and on the board . That makes me a little sad .

I already know I will not be able to watch tomorrow , and I think that 3 episodes a week would be optimal for me . I would also like to mention again that anyone is welcome to join in . In the future there may be other "rematches " and we will announce it here . With so much streaming available it is possible to watch past dramas and discuss .

Contrary to whatever it looks like , I have not seen as many Kdramas as it may appear . There are many classics I have not seen .

116

This episode seems to represent a sort of turning point in the drama . We all know that Jongnam has definitely decided that it is not possible to have any kind of relationship with Sukhyun . Nara would make their lives a living hell , and she is already paying ( unwelcome ) visits to Jaeok .

There is no love lost on Jaeok's side either . She is a much more gentil person , but has no reason to like Nara or her tactics .

Sukhyun is frustrated because Jongnam will not take his calls , so he can't even talk to her about any of this .

I felt very annoyed by InBoem in todays episode . It is his birthday and he has Jongnam over for lunch . Never mind the fact that she would not have gone except the fact that Jaeok asked her to take kimchi to inBoem . On the surface , he seems like a nice guy and a good business man - but he really doesn't have any kind of timing .

What made him think that Jongnam would be welcoming a proposal ?? She obviously only wants to keep things businesslike and / or casual , but he just doesn't get it .

It occurred to me while watching this today that Kiwoong and Sukhyun really have a lot in common :
Neither one of them are willing to give up .....

Kiwoong can appear to keep it light , but he can never give up hope on Haein . She is ok with him hanging around her , and even being best friends - but she really doesn't get it either . He has been telling her he loves her on and off for 10 years , and she still seems shocked by his devotion .

He went to the Areum Hotel ( where everything seems to happen ) and shadowed her blind date . Never mind that the date was a person who's head is so big it won't fit through the door and doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom emoticon .

Kiwoong intervenes and the blind date ends Kiwoong hitting the unnamed jerk . This is a tough situation across cultures - should he have let Haein figure it out for herself ? Kiwoongs motives were pure - but ?

In the meantime , Sukhyun goes to Jongnams and wants to talk . Jongnam is telling him Not to call , Not to come over ......well , she has every right to do that ... But IMHO , I think she owes him at least a discussion over coffee to tell him why she is not going to be able to pursue dating him , and then close with Don't call - yada , yada - just saying .

Be back in a couple of days . emoticon

Re:


I think Cuite Pie was given a lot of encouragement by Jaeok and she is so eager to have him marry Jongnam that I think he felt he could just jump right in. Timing... totally right on that Addie. He should have just tried to have a friendship first. Right now, in her eyes, they were boss and employee. She was even trying to keep any friendship with him at bay. But he did have her mother backing him and he just went for it. Big big mistake.

As far as Haein goes... she has known how Kiwoong feels about her but she just never put any seriousness to his confessions. She is the princess and I absolutely feel she thought she was above him. When he made his declaration of love at the school, in front of others (students), Haein has no choice but to know he means it.

Three episodes a week are fine with me.

Re:


Not yet. But will (now- Saturday). Post... I will after watching. emoticon


OK... watched 17. I think Haein is such a "B". She pretty much admitted knowing how Kiwoong has felt about her for 10 years! Yet she dismisses his feelings, making jokes. I don't like her at all. But, at least now she will start looking at a possible relationship with him. But I will never ever like her.

Suky's attempt at getting Jongnam to admit loving him and trying to make a go of it fell flat. She doesn't want to upset her mother or his mother. I totally understand how she feels but it is heartbreaking to watch Suky being so desperate to hold on to her. And of course, Jongnam really twist the knife in him by saying her boss is better suited for her. OUCH!!!

When Suky goes home Nara holds back asking who he was with, because she knew. And Suky was ready to tell her. So she backed off. Wish she'd back off a cliff.

 117

There is a lot swirling under the surface in this episode . Kiwoong is flabbergasted that Haein's feelings
toward him are gratitude ( as she says Thankfullness ) I understand that at this point . She has been set up on a blind date with someone with apparent impeccable credentials who is, in actuality , quite a creep . Kiwoong was there to save her from the situation . When they went to the high school , some of her memories reminded her that of the years of his devotion ....and I think perhaps for the first time that Haein realizes that no one will care about her as Kiwoong does .

Youjeong ( Haein's mother ) has a major fishwife shouting meltdown when she finds out what happened and tells her she will NEVER accept Kiwoong ( not that Haein asked ) ByunDoo ( dad ) states silent .

It is indeed sad to watch Sukhyun . If I were Jaeok , I would also advise Jongnam to steer clear . No one wants a psychopath in the family - and even Nara's limited part of their lives is more than enough .

Jongnam is trying to drive Sukhyun away with all her comparisons - but it is too late to convince him of anything except he loves her - and her continuing look at him with tears in her eyes makes it less convincing .

Re:


118
So heartbreaking how Suky is suffering. I had forgotten we were past the point that he knew about being 'sold' off to buy a house. He must be in so much pain. Then every time he sees Jongnam she rejects him. He's getting it from all sides. Poor guy.

Kiwoong is being sued by the pervert he punched. I forget how this turned out.. How could I forget anything about BB? Anyway, Haein is starting to show more interest in him. Think she feels it's concern for a friend but she's definitely not projecting the same attitude towards him that she used to. More concern than usual... falling in love but doesn't realize it.

I felt bad for Kiwoong's dad when he came home and saw Suky staring at the house. He remembered how him and Minsook had to rush Suky to the hospital when he started throwing up blood. Suky doesn't know this and is full of resentment towards that side of the Chang family.

Again... Suky lights up when Jongnam enters the room (cafe) and she just turns her back on him and scolds him. He leaves angry and hurt. My poor baby...

Re:


119

Suky reluctantly goes to the Chang's house. He asks questions re when/how they bought the house. Minsook is uncomfortable with his questions and I think suspects he may know something or is trying to find out something. Even Granny becomes uncomfortable with Suky's questions.

Suky is more than ready to leave when Jongnam shows up... He sits back down. When they leave he is all smiles, thinking she will be thankful for a ride home. He practically has to threaten her to get her in the car. Then its made up car trouble so he can spend a little more time w/her. He is so pitiful. She can be pretty harsh but we know she's doing whatever she can to push him away.

Kiwoong meets the creep to try and settle. That guy is such an a$$. He is so smug and arrogant. How can Kiwoong hold back from punching him again!! lol

CP calls his father and tells him he's found a woman he likes. He admits she doesn't care for him (yet) but that he will make her his. I still remember when I first watched BB and was so terrified Jongnam would end up being with CP. I thought (and still do think) CP is a great match for her. And you know his parents would love her and treat her well. He'd have been the one if the 'real' one wasn't already in the picture. Suky and Jongnam .... all the way. emoticon

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


Sorry for the delay . I had some trouble with my dvd player and finally watched

118 the night before last ...it was too late for me to post ...I will catch up on the weekend .

The guy that Kiwoong punched is being just as difficult as he was at the date .... Haein will come to realize what a near miss she had emoticon

Jongnam is so excited for her first paycheck and the gifts she got for Jaeok , but Jaeok can't just enjoy the moment and must turn the conversation to InBoem .

Personally I feel very uncomfortable that Jaeok is so close to In Boem . I get that in her opinion he is much better for Jongnam - but I do not think Jongnam is wanting to settle down with ANYONE .

I also feel bad for Sukhyun in someways . HE has no one in his corner , but he has also isolated himself from the family . We see from Jaedo 's memories of that terrible time that what Suky believes is far from what really happened . It appears that it was pure altruism which led to Sukhyun being given up .

I also do not think that Sukhyun really understands what he is up against with Nara . He is delusional .

be back soon

Re:


Reply... I totally agree... Suky is completely delusional when it comes to Nara. He seriously thinks he can act aloft towards her and she'll cave in and let him have Jongnam. Suky just doesn't know what we know. lol

The main reason CP is continuing to pursue Jongnam is because Jaeok is encouraging him. Jaeok is so dead set against Suky (and I understand why) and she sees what a great catch CP would be... I understand it but.. And CP KNOWS Jongnam is not interested. Always bothered me that even tho she finally agrees to go to him, he is willing to take her, knowing she loves someone else. How long can a relationship last like that? He wants her so bad he will do it but later, say, a year later, he'd end up furious because she doesn't love him. I could go on and on. (but will stop).
