What is up with Kim Hyun Joong's hair? It's extra poofy! hahah

Thanks for the recap, I'll be reading then...

I am surprisingly liking this drama so far... I guess I'm just really entertained in a totally shallow way.

Hair cuts on this show are not kind to everyone. I'm digging post-hair cut Duckie more than SJ at this point. Am I the only one?

Duckie's looking quite fine after the makeover, even if that adorable curl is gone. I absolutely agree that Seung-Jo need a good dose of jealousy, and that's also going to give Duckie a chance to step up on his game.
Hope this drama starts to pull some punches and really start to wow us soon, because I'm feeling that it's just mediocre.
As always, thatnks for all your hard work!

When He Ra mentions that Seung Jo never had to work hard for anything unlike Ha Ni and Seung Jo said "You're like that too," I swear there was a moment of vulnerability when she paused for a second before saying "You're right." I assumed there was more back story to her...like she actually worked herself to the bones to be Little Miss Perfect which is why she hates people who fail at what they do because she managed to succeed with hard work.

I enjoyed this episode much better then the last. There were funny moments, but many heart-touching scenes aswell. I appreciated particularly the scene where Hani was following He-ra and Seung-jo at the theater, but came to realize that following them and trying to mess up their "date" wasn't right. I think that for someone who is trying to gain the affection of someone she likes wouldn't want that to happen to her if she were dating Seung-jo, and I think her decision to stop following Hera and Seungjo really highlighted her good qualities and made me respect her more.

While Hera is like Seungjo's twin, Seungjo probably sees her as a friend who can understand him and can get along with well. The woman is probably more like Seungjo then Eunjo is to him. She doesn't really complete the other half that Seungjo is missing in his life.

Hani, on the other hand, is someone that he can pick on, play with, and will end up taking care of.. she's just personally closer to Seung-jo and brings a little spark to his life. I really enjoyed this episode where Hani and Seungjo had many interactions together that showed their comfortable relationship with each other.. whether it'd be cooking, piggy backs, bickering, etc... Also, the fact that he acknoweldges Hani's earnest effort when she puts her mind to something (in several scenes in this episode when talking to Hera or when he asked Hani where her attitude in trying to get in top 50 went) may mean that he does have some respect and admiration for her.

I know this is getting long, but as a last note, I had to cry for my Joon-Gu. Others may call him annoying, but the dude is loveable and really shined in this episode. He's like Hani; both with their one-sided loves but made self-sacrifices for the sake of the ones they care for the most. *tear*

Hani is underappreciated by Seungjo, and Joon Gu is underappreciated by Hani. I wonder how these people can keep up with their one-sided loves for so long *sigh*. If Joon Gu is the male Hani and Hera the female Seungjo... how would it be for Joon Gu to end up with Hera? Oh Joon Gu, if that were to happen, you'd need a special series of your own Playful Kiss (male version).

GF, thanks for the recaps...
the best part is when SJ's piggybacking HN, gawd, I love...love...love...Hani's smile....

I totally agree with your comments about the twist in the storyline, Duckie's chance and Seung-jo earning Ha-ni’s devotion... he clearly has to start acting up and be the kind of man he needs to be to deserve Ha-ni's love!

Love your re-caps ♥

gah my heart breaks for duckie. i honestly think he loves Ha-Ni more than Ha-Ni loves Seung-Jo, i mean he knew she likes someone else, yet he still cares for her. poor boy.

are they officially cutting the bye bye sea interludes? i kinda liked those....

I increasingly appreciate KHJ's new hair style and it looks better and better instead of the too often seen hair which tons of guys have. He has morphed into the part so well, acting is improving nicely, haha to critics. This drama is like strawberry ice cream with chocolate on top, a pleasure to enjoy.

Thanks for the awesome recap! I'm totally w/ you on everything--I continue watching even though I'm not 100% on board. You're also right about Duckie's right to really throw down the gauntlet--it'd be such a cop-out if he lost to Seung-jo.

that last screenshot of duckie killed me
ohmy

Duckie is breaking my heart, but in two earlier episodes, he'd also shown some concern over what her friend was eating (in a totally caring way, the one time), so I'm hoping for a really good ending for him! (Sorry, can't recall her name just now.)

Joon Gu's eyes in the last pic are kinda like Rain's...that's what came across my mind the moment I saw it...

I loved seeing Seung Jo soften in this episode. It also goes to show that KHJ is more capable than a stone cold expression; give him more lines!

Idk if anyone felt this, but I thought Haera seemed really human as far as bitchy love rivals go. Her encounters with Ha Ni are mean, but she comes off as pensive as opposed to manipulative a lot of the time. It could just be Park Shiyoung's interpretation of the character, though.

Also, I don't know why I look forward to PK so much more than MGiaG every week. I KNOW MGiaG is more solid in terms of writing and acting, and yet... PK brings out the squeeing fangirl in me.

And just wanna say, Jung So Min is SO lovely.

thank for recap.. love it ^ ^

Yeay for recap!! Thanks so much!!

I was so impatient to spazz, I did my own recap of my take on the unsubtitled episode in my blog (I dunno Korean). Reading your recap made me laugh at my own weird interpretation of the scenes. O wellz.. it was fun and got me to calm down a bit after all the tellingly 'touching' scenes, and may I add.. all executed voluntarily by our resident Roboto. If Seung Jo continues to play with my affection as if my heart is a yo yo, like in this ep... he'll end up being the only "Naoki Irie"-version I like out of all the previous versions I've watched or read. I hated Naoki Irie in the anime by the last episode.. so I'm happy I haven't disliked Baek Seung Jo beyond wanting to hit him with a brick every now and then up to half time (ep 8 out of 16).

Anyway. I'm worried when you say you want Seung Jo to earn Hani's devotion. I don't want him to be consciously trying to be in Hani's good book. I want him to be as oblivious to his own good intentions as now... helping with her cooking while ordering her around, training her in tennis while giving her those insanely difficult exercises to do... I love seeing him tortured, wanting her and yet not understanding this 'want' he's feeling.. ha! I want them to at last be together DESPITE him never really consciously wanting it, and therefore never really working towards it. I want some cataclysmic event to pop up that pushes them towards each other irrevocably. I don't want it to be a natural progression thing. That would lack drama IMO. Does that make sense? LOL

I thought this episode has changed the way the two characters will interact in the future and all the moves were initiated by the socially inept, no-human-touching-is-allowed Baek Seung Jo. It also makes it possible for several original characters to be completely wiped out as they're no longer necessary to prop up the story, I think. Hani-Seung Jo dynamics are differing more and more from the original story & the previous drama versions as well.. and I thought that twist was fun. It seems he's turned into a reluctant pursuer instead of the pursued in this ep, but since he grumbles all the time.. his pursuing efforts go almost undetected.. but I'm onto you, Robot Boy!

Can't wait for ep 9. I heard a boat is involved.

i want Seung-jo and Ha-ni to kiss again....i want to see them being together now...waiting for the next episode!

thank you so much for the translation.

yey, im on first page of the comment page. love this episode. seung jo is so transparent.. really.. going to top spin to see ha-ni... then the tennis lessons... i cant wait for wednesday.

aja aja fighting PK!!!

More than Hera, I too am interested in Duckie. Lee Taesung's playing the emotional scenes so well that I think he would provide way better tensions than Hera, who frankly is useless, imo.

As gorgeous as she is, she is obviously not sparking any feelings from Seungjo whereas I think Duckie's sincere feelings CAN eventually get to Hani. It's like even if Hani doesn't exist, Seungjo would still not be interested in Hera. But if Seungjo doesn't exist, there's a big chance Hani could fall for Duckie.

Ohhh we're half way there... Oh livin on prayer haha
Its round 8 and I'm loving the twist, the build up, the dynamics. Oh great job PK writers, you haven't let me down. Keep it up!

I wish that from here on the story will take on the anime storyline rather than manga/ISWAK coz 16 episodes are really really short!

BSJ now gradually show his attentiveness towards OHN. Its practically obvious to us audience, and not so to OHN off course... but that's the drama and I'm lovin every minute of this. I also like BJG transformation. it helps him to be a strong contender in winning OHN's affection.

I really, really, really hope that they tackle the 2nd kiss like in the anime rather than ISWAK coz it was too obvious. And if they do, for us who have watched the anime have to keep SHHHHH on what's what, coz it will spoil the fun for everybody, as that element of surprise is the main reason why I love the anime so much, so much more from the rest adaptations.

So I can't wait how would they tackle from here on...
Come on PK Fighting!!!

thanks for all your hard work GF (and JB)! i was really looking forward to this recap and you never disappoint.

where to start? i love that PK is slowly evolving as the characters move from high school to college (and hopefully marriage?), the tone is also changing from cutesy/pluffy to somewhat somber as they mature.

i think the intro of He-ra's character is actually upping the ante here, making Seung-jo "see" someone who is very similar to him in so many ways and will hopefully make him realize that things that he is lacking. and as far as second female leads go, i actually think He-ra is one of the "normal" ones in k-dramaland (so far). she's not overtly evil and manipulative and she doesn't really go out of her way to sabotage Ha-ni. either she's too confident in herself that she's not threatened by her or she actually loves the competition.

and i agree, Duckie needs to up his game because i really, really want to see Seung-jo squirm a little. because let's face it, jealous Seung-jo is definitely more enjoyable to watch that mean and haughty Seung-jo. and yes, even if he doesn't need to, because we all know whom Ha-ni's heart belong to, i still want him to work for it.

on a completely shallow note, am i the only one who thinks that the piggyback scene is so hot? the way Ha-ni kept on shifting and moving a little, re-arranging Seung-jo's jacket, Seung-jo's expression that says "move a little more, i'm actually enjoying this"---- and yeah, props to the director for that close-up on KHJ's beautiful neck. if i were JSM, i don't think i'd be able to control myself, i'd probably kiss it, jealous fangirls be damned. LOL.

Oh Duckie!!!! I heart YOU! And awesome makeover, but I still love the Duckie-ness in you, and if you get your Duckie-do back, I'll be okay with that too.

I liked the episode but at the same time, it's getting to be the same repeated scenes for me. I really do want to see Seung-jo earn Ha Ni's love, not just to have him appear and steal Duckie's thunder. Speaking of which, when are we going to let him have a moment of glory?

oh oh oh..!!! i can't wait for the next ep..!!! :D

i don't want to spoil the fun so i'm not gonna mention what's going to happen after Seungjo & Hani ran away from the gangsters... [i'm dying here!!!] ~lolz

i like the way they 'changed' Duckie [unlike the TW ver.], but the scene in the movie house, in the TW ver. it was more 'active' - like when He-ra's character tried to hold Seung-jo's hand or any other activity that would lead to the slightest physical contact - Hani & Kyungsoo [TW character counterparts] would throw pop-corn on them which then ruins the 'mood'. Also, the run-in with the gangsters, in the TW ver. Kyungsoo actually hired some guys to pose as gangsters so he can 'save' He-ra so he'll appear as a cool 'HERO'. But they did run into a REAL gangster, Kyungsoo thinking they were his 'hired guys' acted tough while winking on the 'boss'. Seung-jo then notices a group of guys trying to catch Kyungsoo's attention, from which he'd [SJ] pick up that the guys were signalling Kyungsoo that it's not the 'make-believe' gang - rather Kyungsoo challenged a REAL gang boss :D ~lolz
Seung-jo then signals Kyungsoo that they need to ran away. in their haste, SJ grab Ha-ni's hand ang made a run for it.. all the while Ha-ni [& probably even He-ra] thought Seung-jo must have grabbed the wrong hand b'coz [in the TW ver.] Ha-ni & He-ra were right next to each other - unlike here [in the Kr ver.] it was clear that Seung-jo really intended to ran away with Ha-ni ♥♥♥♥ afterwards, this is the part that I'm not gonna say anymore ♥♥~ but this much I guarantee, if it follows the same flow as the story i know, it's going to be super exciting!! [esp. for Ha-ni ] :D

Many many thanks GF!! i always enjoy reading your recaps ♥♥~

Thks for the recap..but it is only me...coz i found tt after JG transformation he looks like rain...but with bigger eyes :P

yah i like this episode n agreed with u all that SJ is melting n start to admire n respect HaNi in away that he does not really realised.

I really like the way he volunteer to piggyback her n from his smile, its seems tt it is wat he had wanted to do for awhile...hahaha...so he can b close to HaNI.

Also the way he come to rescue n cueing KS to take care of HeeRa..n he will take care HaNi...tts so sweet..but had been wondering whether he had awared that HaNi n KS had been stalking them since in the cinema...hehehe..if he had been aware...then it will b cute for him not confronting them...

GF thanks for ur great recap...n cant wait for the coming episode.. :)

wish u all have a good day!!!

Cuteness! Seung Jo and Ha Ni but mainly Duckie! Whoa! Love it!

100% love and agree with the second to last paragraph. I almost always want the main girl to recognize the second male, and be able to feel him as a man even if she doesn't fully fall for him. Its college, you're allowed to have side mini-crushes!
I want seungjo to earn hani. It doesn't hurt that I LOVE jealousy scenes (as long as it doesn't involve characters I hate bein happy)
I was hoping that seungjo would think that kyungsoo and hani were on a date

I was so disappointed that right after she said she'd get over him, hani had to spend all this time practicing tennis with him. I wanted her to really get some distance so she cN harden her heart. I want them to end up together, but hani doesn't have to be perpetually in puppydog-adoration stages of love.

Heehee thanks Girlfriday! Have been waiting for this recap all weekend, and it was great :D

Is it weird that I've been continuously visiting Dramabeans for the past 4 days just to see if Ep 8's recap was up yet? For some reason, I can't watch the episode subbed until I've read your recap, JB & GF. It's just my order of doing things: watch live streaming, re-watch episode unsubbed but with better quality, read DB recap, then watch subbed episode, probably followed by the recap again. XD I am as hooked on your recaps as I am on the drama itself!

Thanks for another great recap, GF!

I totally agree that JoonGu has become adorable AND manly, and I also hope there are more JoonGu/Hani moments, sweet for JoonGu, and bitter for SeungJo, to raise the romantic tension. I was really hoping Hani would be wowed by JoonGu's make-over (like I was) and make SeungJo jeaous. We need more of this! (I'd much rather see Hani with 2nd male lead than SeungJo with 2nd female lead. -_-;)

But I have to say that I actually liked Ep 8 much better than Ep 7. True, the move-out in Ep 7 made a good emotional impact, but I didn't really like the rest of the episode. But in Ep 8, I liked the whole thing, and that's the first time I'm able to say that. Every time I watched Playful Kiss, I enjoyed it but felt it could've been better (and the show did get better each week, but was still lacking). But in this episode, I had no complaints. There were no boring or slow moment, no awkward editing or directing, just great scenes. I felt the writer FINALLY delivered the show's potential. The jealousy moments were painful, the quiet moments were touching, the comic relief moments were funny, and the sweet moments, oh the sweet moments with SeungJo/Hani were SWEET. ^o^ I even liked the end, which actually had a fun, exciting cliffhanger for once. And the fact that there's no preview makes me anticipate the next episodes even more, especially since we have 2 love rivals getting closer just as our 2 leads are connecting. Yes, I'm excited! :D

Why is he smiling only when he turn and talk to KS abt hvg a re-match another time...When he walk away with Hani on his back, he doesn't smile or look please???? But I do like that Robo-boy is finally melting...And Hani, should try to get her body away from him....Aren't she aware he could feel her heartbeats??? Oh, I love this couple....

Gosh... SeungJo really knows how to melt one's heart with his smile. That boy has the most beautiful smile i have ever seen.

This drama is getting better and better. I like how the story goes, not too melodramatic, but very sweet and light.

Honestly, I thought Hera was being nice, as far as love rivals go. Of course she could be condescending to Hani, as Hani is portrayed rather bumbly and dumb after all. However, I felt that when she asked Hani if she could also like Seungjo, I didn't think she was being smug. She mentioned that she asked because she felt like she was "taking some kid's candy". Which is true, because Hera knows how much Seungjo means to Hani, so she HAD to ask before she could "officially" like Seungjo.

And the scene where Seungjo was musing about Hani being fun to raise and stuff, Hera seemed to agree with him as well. She wasn't being bitchy/mean/annoying. She's actually rather mature.

I feel like I can actually like Hera. But its also because I know she can never be a true rival to Hani--she's too similar to Seungjo. Unless they show that Hera actually worked goddamn hard to achieve what she has now...then maybe she can be the pot lit to Seungjo's pot? Haha ok i know weird.

All that said, I'm ttly loving how Seungjo caves in to Hani and takes care of herrr :D Notice when he helped Hani up in the last part where she was pushed down, he was looking at her all along. Heehee and jungsomin is awesomely cute.

thanks for the recap (^^,)

WEll.. I like Duckie who change himself bit by bit for Ha Ni..
I think Ha Ni saw it that's why she repeated the "Thank You" word for him (waiting to see the normal Duckie..
hehehe)but not claiming it verbally.

**thanks daddy Oh! Duckie making a move now
(but showing a sad sign at last screen) awts.

Hae- ra ... hmn... i like her when she's always with SJ-- every time they are talking about Ha ni.. the more SJ appreciate Ha Ni..

an irritated and sarcastic face looking up to Ha ni turns to alluring and appreciative face putting some smiles on to her.

..yup.. i think it's not Love what SJ feels toward her "for now"

he see Ha Ni as an interesting person,
clumsy but adventurous
and can explore everything bubbly than it is--

she's fills with FULL of JOY
(the way Hae ra & Seo Jung talks on how Joy runs when he see Ha Ni)

hoping too.. to have a big part Duckie for Ha Ni's attention..
so it can Kick Seo Jung to feels the right feelings towards her.. hahaha!

**mind me asking.. hehehe. is there a situation or a time that instead a 20 ep., it can extend to something for a drama?**

back again..
We'll I hope Hae ra noticed how SJ hold Ha ni to help her than her that SJ immediately put off his hand unto her.. (cinema scene)

Well.. Oh Ha Ni is not Oh Ha Ni if she didn't catch any trouble.. hahahha!

for me a double thumbs up.. for putting something to stir up the scenes and story..

the people are actually the one who posses the liveliness of the plot..

oh by the way..

" I like the way you present mommy Baek's line.."

it really caught SJ
it's like stabbing his heart twice or more...
(u can see in his face)..

it's like an arrow shot on his head like a bull's eye!

5stars to mommy Baek's Line! hehehehe

this is gonna be the last time i'll be mentioning ISWAK. it has a special place in my heart and i do think that the leads' chemistry was unbeatable. the comedic. almost slapstick moments were also superior than PK. after 8 episodes, however, i'm ready to let go of the compare/contrast path.

PK has started to occupy a place in my heart as well. i love, love, love how they give HaNi more backbone. she's less annoying and more endearing. you can actually see she's trying SOOOOO hard at accepting that perhaps SJ can never like her [girl is dense cause clearly SJ has started liking her!]

also, i appreciate very much that JG gets to have that sentimental moment where he was alone, contemplating. Kinnosuke-ahjin-JG was there for comic support. he was never really quite a rival except towards pre-wedding story arc. however in PK, we're given a window to witness that beneath tough, comical exterior lies a man who's struggling in love, life and career. i love that.

i'd love to say screw the ratings but i do feel bad for the actors and the whole production staff. i think they're working hard to improve and capture.

ONE MAJOR FLAW! stop it with the flashbacks. most scenes are still very fresh in my mind. i dont need to watch a musc video-esque with all the flashbacks and ost songs.

An Open Letter to Baek Seung Jo

YAH! Baek Seung Jo! You conniving little bast@rd, you!

I swear you're absolutely the kind of man a girl would love to hate and yet despite that fact, at the end of the day and after being with you for hours, one can only conclude that the results would lean more towards Love than hate...

For every 10 things you do wrong, you do one thing that makes the other mean things you do seemingly insignificant...

Just like in this episode of Playful Kiss wherein once again, just like Ha Ni you've managed to make me fall in love with you in the span of one second in a majorly BIG way...

(and yessiree that was the moment that you lifted Ha Ni on your back when she twisted her ankle and you smiled oh soooo deliciously...

I swear there was a pool of drool on my computer table right at that very moment... You sexy, sexy man! )

I can't help but giggle at the fact that you pretend that you're all that and yet deep inside you are just a besotted fool who's wrapped tightly around Oh Ha Ni's little finger that you'd do anything for her even if it's a thing that you SUPPOSEDLY absolutely hate...

EPICLY WHIPPED! That's what you are, i say!

Too bad Ha Ni doesn't get it and that you don't know it yet...

After all, who else would you cook hours for other people that you don't even care about for? Who else would you train incessantly without fail even if she tests your patience or who else would you get pissed at just because she was crouching in the bushes with a random guy that you forget that you're supposed to be pissed at her more for listening in on your private conversation?

But most of all .... i think it's a pretty telling sign that you are getting dull around your rough edges when you sacrifice your pride over losing a tennis match that you seem to stake your male egotistical pride on just to piggyback that girl you "dislike" (*me rolls eyes and scoffs*) off that court

Hae Ra might seem like a Supermodel but she doesn't move you in the same way does she? She can tell you that she likes you with all she's worth but you don't even have the time to listen?

So how come Ha Ni only has to throw tennis balls and yet you're smiling that million dollar smile that would one day, just be the death of me?

Admit it! You are beginning to like Ha Ni just as much as i'm beginning to have dreams of marrying you and having all of your babies...

And why not?

Ha Ni? This girl? WOW!

If faith can move mountains, i have no doubt that her determination also can...

I love the fact that little by little like the snail that she is she is starting to inch her way towards your heart and i love how in turn that softens you...

That tennis training scene probably says everything about the dynamics of your relationship... Ha Ni has determination and you have knowledge... Where Ha Ni is uncertain, you toughen her up...

And together? There is nothing that is insurmountable to you guys if only you'd stop being so darned stubborn and if you only stop thinking and start feeling...

(Call me weird or a crybaby but that training scene almost moved me to tears... Seeing you pushing Ha Ni to her limits to get her to succeed and her sheer perseverance in not failing you? That is love right there... plain and simple...)

Any which way... i'm just saying, whether you like it or not and no matter how much you say that you "dislike" dumb girls, there's no amount of smirking, glaring, eyebrow raising, goading, pouting and protesting that will change that...

You are going to end up with Ha Ni, I so know it and i also know that you know it...

So why not stop playing coy and give in as early as now so we can all move on and see you two being lovey dovey and maybe then i can accept that my chances with you are close to nil and i can start getting over you sooner...

Love always ,
Flower Pot

PS: If it doesn't work out with you and Ha Ni... i have facebook, twitter and email... sooooo... you know where to find me...

PPS: Ahhhhh... before i forget can you pass this advise on to Joon Gu?

Kindly tell him that he is sweet and cute and that his new hairstyle rocks but i wish he knew that it is a kdrama law that good guys always come last....

I know how he feels and i commiserate with him but.... you know that saying about how when one door closes another opens?

Ha Ni might stay locked for him in terms of love but at least he's got her friendship...

It might hurt right now, but believe me one day i'm sure he'd get over it... Just wait and see... It might be a long wait but someone that's meant for him would come along and when that happens? it will make all the hurt that he went through in the past mundane and silly and oh so childish because only then will he know what true love really means...

PPPS: I swear this is the last, but i just wanna say that you have the coolest mom in all of kdrama history that i wish she was mine... (it's never too late, you know, i'm just a text away)

However, on second thought, your father in law to be does not seem bad at all too so i guess that makes Ha Ni score more points than me... so what can i do? Darn it!

Keeping this real short: NEW DUCKIE IS A HOTTIE <3 lol
Thanks 4 da recap GF

Thank you GF for a great recap. I totally love this episode because of the "skinship"...lol SJ holding Ha Ni's hand, piggy back ride...or I can just say every scene that has the two of them together is enough to make me squeal.

I want more of SJ jealous moments to come. Now that Duckie is looking good, the rivalry should be more and that SJ will realize that he got some serious competition.

Thanks again...:))

I have to admit... I was checking for this recap for DAYS. :)

SJ's thinly veiled efforts to spend time with Ha Ni despite her departure from his house were adorable, especially since his mother saw right through them. He played it cool, but it was nice to see him "stalking" HER when he realized she wasn't stalking him anymore. In a way, his efforts were just as awkward as Ha Ni's, since instead of being completely open about trying to see more of her, he made up these excuses about hating to lose and being determined to teach her tennis. I laughed when he immediately voluteered to carry her after her fall. His face very clearly was saying, "SWEET! Skinship excuse!" I almost wish Ha Ni had made him keep it up. It was very much in character for Ha Ni to revert right back to her stalking ways, but it is ridiculously funny that she never noticed that as soon as she took a break, he turned right around and spent time with her.

I strongly suspect that SJ knew Ha Ni was following him on the "date," and he probably came back up the stairs when he realized she had not followed him. I know everyone wants to see him suffer/work more, but honestly, the guy put in some serious, albeit somewhat subtle, work in this episode. I agree that some jealousy and uncertainty would be good for the boy, but this episode was a pretty big milestone for him. After all, he agreed to play another match that he was probably going to lose JUST so he could force Ha Ni to hang out with him. The guy who never loses and never admits to needing anything had to do a little bit of both in this episode.

Thanks for the recaps!
and i never thought i would say this but I kinda miss her fantasy sequences. they were terrible at first but they got funny in the end. haha.
