1. I feel so sad for Ji Ho. He isn't ready to handle a "normal" relationship with Sang Eun, never mind one that is being pummeled by outside forces and which - sadly - is probably destined to be incredibly rocky and occasionally heartbreaking. But the two of them together seem like they could light the world on fire, so hopefully it'll all work itself out.

2. I am beyond annoyed with Hae Jin. I just want to tie him up and wash the fake blood off his face and force him to put on clothes in his actual size and not 3 sizes too big. I suppose it's supposed to be fashion, and it does help with image of him as a child playing "dress up" pretending to be a grown man... but it's annoying. Like, how does *nothing* in that incredibly expensive closet of yours actually fit you? The actor is thin, sure, but he isn't a small person - he's quite tall, and he has broad shoulders. The clothes constantly hanging off him are ridiculous. And so is the character whining and sulking his way through the days once Sang Eun tells him her decision to date Ji Ho. I just can't anymore with this guy.

3. Did the paparazzi just get lucky - or did Sang Eun get set up yet again by Mi Ho and her marriage machinations? Either is possible, given Hae Jin's complete lack of awareness and consideration of others when he lobbed her over his shoulder and took off across the courtyard. If only Sang Eun had slapped him once he put her down, as I kind of thought she might (PMY often hits people, she does it in a lot of her shows) then the fact that her face got photographed might not have mattered quite as much - since it would look like a shocked woman attacking her attacker, rather than a lover carrying his beloved ... across the lawn? whatevs.

4. Ji Eun is a skunk. If she was such a good lawyer, she would not waste her time trying to get Sang Eun in trouble with Ji Ho and would be much more diligent about protecting her client's privacy and best interests. She's too worried about her after-the-fact competition (sorry, sweetie, but you've already lost on that front) for Ji Ho's affections. I was cheering him on as he ushered her out of his house and down to the parking lot. He treated her a lot nicer than I would've.

5. How has Hae Jin's creepy hyung not figured out yet that his little bro is involved somehow with his former intended fiancee? He's gotten several clues, surely he or his hired investigators should have made this connection by now.

Kang Hyungseok, 강형석 has the most gorgeous voice. One more thing added to thousands of things that I didn’t know! I continue to like Gwangnam so much and I hope the drama is going where I think it is going with him? I hope he continues to treat him kindly, joyfully and respectfully.

Hahahahaha the last 6 episodes of this show are gonna be sooooo annoying ffff

Take a wild guess stab in the dark as to what we thought of this week's shenanigans folks. ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

*Places head on desk resignedly with a soft thump.*
Why am I still watching this I'm so dumb.

The writers are really giving no joy at all to Hae-jin. I still feel sorry for him, considering that he doesn't know everything we know and his initial perception of threats to Sang-eun is still coloring everything he does with her. I hope he doesn’t end up with Ji-ho’s ex-wife, whose name I refuse to learn, because so far that character is a hodgepodge of bright smiles, bitterness, interference, and jealousy - and while I understand that toppling everything she touches is her function in the plot, she’s too incoherent to be interesting. I mean, she left him and not the other way about, so what does she have to be jealous about? is a question I can’t muster up any interest in answering.

I’ve given up on this as anything other than a disjointed series of improbable conversations and situations and am treating it as involuntary channel-flipping. Troubled teen flashback! FLIP Surprise ex-wife! FLIP Mr. Sobriety gets drunk! FLIP Gwang-nam sings! FLIP Whatever, I’ll probably stick it out just for Jamie the Cat’s story arc and the vanishing hope of vampires.

I haven't prepared myself yet for the inevitable angst, potential noble idiocy and painful corporate machinations that no doubt I'll be subjected to for at least the next 2 to 3 episodes.
Can we just ditch the MiHo stuff? She aggravates me every time she appears.
HaeJin needs a small beating and a good talking to. Talk about taking liberties! The man better come good for Sang Eun as he's the root cause of most of her problems at the moment.
I've found I'm waiting for each time JiHo appears on screen. I absolutely love every scene he's in. A lot of the rest of this week's episodes I could take or leave, to be honest.
Finally, the kiss! Melted. It also hilariously recreated the Yumi's Cells 2 kiss scene in the car that Sang Eun was drooling over last week.
I would love if JiHo stayed by SangEuns side through the inevitable fallout in the next episodes, however I think it won't work out that way and we'll go down the usual path -
Surprise me writers!

@unit thanks for the weecap. I loved the way Gwangnam announced the random breakfast provision as something they need to be concerned about until he tasted it and then he jumped straight in enjoying every mouthful. The comedy this week was more of what I was expecting I loved that cat Jamie was finally on camera but had her back to him on purpose.

I may be on my own here but I think Haejin’s gay friend is his manager Junghwan and he is going to be the love interest that finally stops Gwangnam playing and he will settle into the long term relationship he wants. The petty squabbling because Junghwan felt usurped was funny. One of them will need to leave in order for the relationship to work as Gwangnam doesn’t do work relationships so the arguments will continue as to who it should be. I think Haejin is playing Cupid.

The lawyer breaching Haejin’s trust surely that must be a suing and struck off offences unless she is playing double agent in order to help Haejin know what the family is up to hence not wanting the money upfront.

What’s the relationship between the principle manager and Sung mi is she a friend/sister/lover or I was confused. I also didn’t get the lullaby singing to a fully grown ajumma I didn't think it was cute.

They can easily explain away the wife and fiancée fiasco and say they agreed to help the neighbour out as he needed it due to the scandals but it got out of hand in terms of imposing on their baby making plans so they were going to end it anyway.

No, screw it actually, I DO have more rant in me:

I kept a running tally this week of Hae Jin and the points earned from me.
He hit negative numbers through most of it every time he acted like an entitled brat (which was a lot) but made up for it very slightly by pushing back against his family for her - but this drama suffers from the classic kdrama issue of People Utterly Failing to Communicate when they really frakking should and it's obvious how they should too, because these kinds of dramas think it's more interesting to have conflict arise from dumb contrived scenarios such as involving exposed identities, relationship scandals and meddling chaebols, instead of just like TELLING anyone, like one single time, what's going on, or a reason for anything, so he AND Sang Eun lost points again for that; she just took it all from him instead of demanding and explanation like she did from Ji Ho, so the next 6 episodes can drive me off the wall.
Frak you people are so dumb. There are like two people in this entire show that try to effectively communicate and one of them is literally the character who canonically can't????? WTF.

You're not the only one who's officially finished @unit . An additional touch to it all was that he returned back to his sweet calm voice after the kiss. I was wondering where his voice went to for a minute.

Kang Hae-jin drives me nuts. Is it possible to understand a character and still have that character driving you bananas. There you have it with Kang Hae-jin. For someone who cares about space and waiting your turn, he sure knows how to infringe on Ji-ho's thunder. I saw him stealing the kiss from a thousand miles away and I cheered when Sang-eun spilled the facts to him in clear terms. I did feel sorry for him though but this is the second time - the coincidence. And it doesn't help that his family has done the third time - a continuous habit. I hope Hae-jin doesn't do a third one. I want to be as objective as possible with Hae-jin but he's not making it any easier for me.
And can that I'm-protecting-you-from-a-nasty-scenario/conversation trope take a backseat, especially when it definitely isn't needed and the said thing needs to be faced eventually.

Oh good God I was warming up to Mi-ho after that monologue she gave when exiting Ina Group's chairman's office last week, this time I'm almost having it up to here. Can't this people just leave them be.
On the positive side, her interactions with Gwang-nam is one I look forward to each week. This woman just knows how to get him peeing in his pants or squeeze anything out of him. All it takes is one snip look into her eyes and it's Mayday. I will watch an episode of Mi-ho vs Gwang-nam rather than a minute of Marriage-Coordinator-Mi-ho-ready-to-matchmake.

The bubbly Sang-eun on the plane returning to South Korea is very far from the one at the marriage dinner. Her adopted father is cold creeps, the mom isn't any better. No wonder they still consider her as a project till date. A little show of filial attachment and they would have had a smooth sailing but no. Did they think Mi-ho would groom her to accept crumbs from anyone, even if it is them?
It must have been really sad for her to be used like that. I just want her to get her full agency back in no time. And quickly so I can get back to watching Sang-eun and Ji-ho playing lovey-dovey on my screens again, and this time - fulltime.

'A life without her will be dreadful'
What sort of heat is this🥵🤭. How many times will be you sweep me off my feet each week. I curled my toes immediately I heard those words. Doesn't help that I was watching Love in Contract in a fetal position ;) . Had Ji-ho confessed his feelings in episode 10, I'd reach out and give him a little spanking on the head. But then, those moments of fluster gave birth to that sweet realization, and that drunken sleeping position😅. I don't know if I should request for more drunken Ji-ho moments if and only if they're unpredictable and ridiculous.

I suggest that viewers re-watch the Epilogue to Ep. 10.

Perhaps this was mentioned previously - and I don't claim it as an original thought because I first read it on Reddit and they referred me to old twitter thread - but it sure looks like Kang Seon Jin (KHJ's oldest brother) sexually assaulted Sang Eun at the chaebol dinner. There is a 3-4 second clip of him entering from outside, wiping his hands and then Sang Eun enters a couple of seconds later - at which point she rips off the jewelry and pours the gravy over his head.

Hoping the writers are planning to delve into the impact of PTSD on Sang Eun's self-described "crazy" attitude.

In Eps 9 and 10, viewer was introduced to a significant back-story for both Ji-Ho and KHJ's traumatic childhood/early adult life - but we still have much to learn about what happened to Sang Eun. I am crossing my fingers that over the remaining episodes, our couple remains "together" (translation: no break-up or flight to Canada) and work through all of the s**t that is about to happen.

I'm here for arguments, soul-searching, awkward communication. I'll even tolerate (if I must) the makjang moment. But please Writer Gods - please avoid the stale, unimaginative break-up.

Final note: warts and all, I adore Ji-ho and Sang Eun. I have been rooting for them as adults-conquering-their-past from moment 1. And, I've rewatched that kiss scene several times. Based on the preview, [SPOILER]. I am here for it.

The way Ji-ho was asleep on the playground! *laughing*

Ji-ho's ex. How dare she march into Ji-ho's house and get all angry at him? She's ridiculous!

Kang Hae-jin rushing her away didn't make any sense. What did he a think her was protecting her from? Nothing.

Its so annoying and frustrating that the ratings of this show is low... Im angry and confuse!! How come? I already watched it from day 1 and to now... The storyline was so unpredictable and lots of twist! But in a good way.. all genra your looking for was all in here... Comedy, drama, lovestory some action scenes and thrilling plot!! I really like the show! And im hoping a jiho-san eung end game!!!

Hae-jin is more like the antagonist than the second ML in this drama. I know he's got a sense of humor, but sometimes it crosses over to the stupid side. For me, what hurts the most from Sang-eun's premature outing is the reaction of Ji-ho's colleagues. I hope they'll take it easy on him.

Ji-Ho has great chemistry with Jamie the cat, their scenes together are my favourites. I think Hea-Jin, immature, entitled and pitiful at the same time is better match for Sang-Eun. He understands what she is going through and likes her as she is, while Ji-Ho goes into shock every time he finds out something new about Sang-Eun. Looking at the comments, I see that I'm in minority.
All the main characters in this drama are so broken, are happy endings even possible?

Why can't we have a drama without any chaebol -corporate shenanigans. Just give me socially inept Judge, Super Star, Jamie the human , Jamie the cat and Gwang-name, I will content.

tbh I think it takes putting on your rose-tinted glasses to get through this show.

Tbh I love jiho so much and seeing him grow out of his shell makes me so happy for him!

It feels like another day of writers just hating on Haejin cuz im still really confused as to why he's written this way. He has so much potential!
The scene where he just completely hesistates to inform SE on smth that's really important (practically gonna affect her life and she should at least get a head start) made me lowkey annoyed and just caused an even bigger issue with tons of people affected now (jiho, her past exes & in laws etc)

Im looking forward to seeing how it gets handled now

Here I am, all caught up with ten episodes and yet I'm not feeling much of anything towards this drama. I love PMY but I'm uninspired so far by this drama and I don't quite know why. I think Go Kyung Pyo is a great romantic and comic actor but these episodes were the first time I felt like the writer actually gave him something to work with! (I feel like the director is behind the camera scolding him if he doesn't give off the aura of a cardboard cutout at all times.)

I was starting to feel like the show was on an upswing until the final dramatic reveal. I agree that Sang Eun was probably harassed in some way by Hae Jin's older brother and that's what caused her to flip out. But will they handle it well? I doubt it...

I was getting SLS early on but now i'm just so sick of Hae Jin and his terrible communication that I want to put HIM over my shoulder and exit stage left so we can be done with his character. If the drama dissolves into meaningless angst I won't be surprised but I will be disappointed. This cast deserves better and I need more than one chuckle per episode to motivate me to keep watching.

Ep 9 is the moment I dropped this show. Unpopular opinion but I am not sold on the OTP, and this entire convoluted connections feel all contrived. I like PMY but unfortunately this is her 2nd show that I dropped consecutively. Hope she chooses a better show next time.
