thanks for the info.. hehehe..

I actually don't think TJ is taking his route to be purely selfless. Perhaps helping Eun Soo and Ji Soo -- eventually? -- may be one of his motivators, but for the moment, I don't buy it. TJ's way too honest with himself to not be aware that Hye Rin's appealing to his ambition. She pushed just the right buttons -- and on some level, I think she and Tae Joo suit each other. They're both very realistic, but wanting to believe they've found love.

I don't for a second think that Tae Joo is being self-sacrificing. I may be proved wrong, or perhaps there's a HINT of self-sacrifice mixed in amongst the selfishness (or would that negate the hint of self-sacrifice? lol) but Tae Joo's inner conflict seemed to point toward choosing between two different paths, rather than choosing one path to save the other.

I'm bummed that TJ and ES weren't able to be happy together, but I actually dig this turn of events. I'll probably explain more in Ep 11's post -- unless I'm proven totally wrong! Heh.

im going mad in anticipation! this drama makes you think but also the emotions are more raw.

i think i'm the only one who didn't go gaga over TJ and ES "Happy" time together. i don't know why but this episode really left me with a p.o. feeling. from your summary and from the beginning of the episode, i'm liking JH's character more and more. his actions are the only one that i can understand while the rest of the other characters leaves me with a "what the heck is going on!?!?!?!?" feeling. at this point i'm watching purely for the "i started it i have to finish it" mentality. also about people's theory that TJ is marrying HR so he can give money for ES's sister, will she even take it? i mean she's going to have no qualms about taking money from the guy who's abused her, given her tremendous happiness only to then yank it away for money and then to offer her some of it?

I want to point out the different choices that TJ & ES made.. ES doesn't regret her decision of quitting her job- even though she can go so far in that field.. as she knows what's the most important thing for her..

Eun Soo: �If you try to have everything and do everything you want, you could lose the thing you like best, and that makes me uneasy.� Eun Soo touches Tae Joo on the arm, and continues: �I'll be satisfied with this one thing.� - from sarah's translations

but it seems to me that TJ is still being greedy.. obviously he doesn't share her simple satisfaction.. but that's just how angelic and wonderful ES is.. ES is definitely my favorite character thus far in this drama

haha...

Lam, they can't get together now and live happily ever after because then the drama would be over and there are still 7 more episodes to go :D

damn, number 16.. argh....TJ is pissing me off.. argh.. who does he think he is.. trying to be the savour of ES by marrying HR to get money for her sister.. argh.. sooo angry his intentions are sooo sweet but the way he carries it out is sooo stupid.. PLEASE why can't they just end up together now and live happily ever after????

yeah second.. i hope.... omgTJ is sooooo stupid... they could have stuck it through together.. cuz honestly.. if he screws up this time.. he will lose ES forever....

Thanks Javabeans..Thanks so much for the summary..I am not sure about TJ's thought now..Man, will he marry HR because of money power? or because he want to save his love's sister??still confused..
Whatever he does, he hurts ES, a lot..a lot..
I just want to shout that why it's so hard for them to be together. Love isn't easy but that's too much for a girl like ES. Love her.

sarah!! thanks for the wonderful summary! really appreciate it, it was made fast. wow this is an episode. i cant put the words into to it. but to me HR is such a pathetic person and i cant believe TJ goes that low. i know he has justifications or what but that just kills me. i love ES and JH in this ep to me their emotions feel real.. their sentiments i can understand. i can get ES feelings, but to me TJ is just weird now.. sigh.. i love the first half of this ep.. im going mad!!! ep11 is a killer!
