I too was on the edge of my seat for most of the drama... but i must say.
it was pretty intense.
i really liked the whole episode, but i must say...
what tae joo did was out of line. it's good that he stopped himself and everything... but still, he was on going "there" wherever there is. and for eun soo kissing him... i was like what the hell?
idk, this episode just really confused me.
but i think the suspense and whatever made it the best one........
oh wellllll
thanks!

Yes my friend was telling me about the episode over msn as she was watching it and it held me at the edge of my seat! I agree I enjoy watching Tae Joo's misery because it will make him grow.

I actually thought the supposed rape scene was quite an important scene for ES-TJ fans. Rather than seeing it from a sexual angle, it is more like a sudden outburst of emotion from TJ who has been used to supressing his emotions and has been trying not to come to terms with his love for ES. The sudden outburst manifested into this form.

I don't know how this would lose QSS fans..I have been waiting for this explosive twist! Will definitely be staying for more!

Thanks for the great summaries!

OK now i seriously have to start watching this. apart from the other dramas out there this seems way more intense...

Thanks as always for such an awesome summary - I'm not even watching this drama cause your summaries are just thaat good! Thanks for the update as I take a break from finals studying.. ok, on y va..

wow thanks!! i really really enjoyed reading this post. even as i read it i was so drawn into the plot.
its so much emotion!!! kudos to the actors for their acting skills!
its AMAZING (:

as to the decline in viewership over the raping scene i was actually just wondering of that would cause a big HOO-HA in the news or so. but other than that i odnt think that there will be a decline. afterall, this is not the first show that has displayed such a scene. the only difference is that the lead actor (aka the good guy that is not supposed ot be doing thus) is the one in question and not the "bad guy" (as in all predictable plots). so perhaps this swop in roles might let the viewers have mixed feelings towards TAEJOO or even negative feelings.

but somehow i feel a sense of pity for TJ rather than condemmnation (:

such a lovely summary. I'm not watching QSS right now. I just have too many dramas to watch. ><

I'm so excited for the next episode.. wonder if it is for real that they said Saranghae to each other or is it just a playful act that one of them is trying to pull.

Oh my gosh! Not only was I on the egde of my seat but also holding my breath as I was reading along this episode!! I could not believe Tae Joo's actions in bursting into Eun Soo's room and coming on to her that strong! It is unbelievable how love/jealousy can drive someone to the brink of insanity, knowing the consequences and regret afterwards. I was simply in shock imagining that scene in my head.

And back to the part where you commented on Eric's artisic expression, I can't wait to see how he will be in that particular scene since the way how you have described it, I was deeply moved and can sympathize with him.

As for this declining QSS fans after watching this episode, I don't think that will happen as I believe people are mature enough and are wise enough to see beyond this (I'm not justifying that rape is not a serious offense--it is indeed!) It's just that dramas are dramas afterall.

And as for the last scene, I don't think Eun Soo should have kissed him. She has a perfectly honest and caring boyfriend. But then again love makes you do crazy things. I'm not even sure who she loves for that matter!

Anyways on the last note, I really enjoy reading your thoughts and summaries! They are very well put and easy to follow through (which by the way I should be reading and studying for my finals >

Wonderful job...we are having quite the discussion at Soompi but this episode has my heart beating so fast...I just can't wait to see what episode 10 holds in store for us...this drama is really testing the limits of the characters and of course the viewers.

AJA AJA FIGHTING QSS!!!!!

Once again, thanks for your insight. I won't be hopping off the QSS love wagon, but this episode certainly shocked me. I don't know if I like TJ as much now with the actions he did towards both ES and HR...Well, I will be there to see TJ's personal growth...
