Hi! Thanks for the recaps. I try to follow the episodes as soon as the subs get released, so watching out for your summaries is quite a treat.

I do have to agree that the plot is somewhat muddled and very contrived at this point. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping that the second half would provide more clarity to the story with just the right amount of fun and entertainment. There's just too many relationships going on without any sign of genuine affection between the two main leads. MR and YH's relationship can't be established given all the fabricated display of affection as well as the existence of their prospects... I'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully the writers have an ace or two up their sleeves.

Thanks so much for everything you wrote to let us understand more about this K-drama..It's getting better and better now. The four-relationship makes me curious..I can feel that Tae Joo is concerned too much about Eun-Soo.
Tae Joo: “So you're saying my head's empty?”
Eun Soo: “Or maybe it's your heart that's empty.”
Oh, I love that. I love the way Eun_Soo replied to Tae-Joo now.

i agree, javabeans. I'm beginning to get bored since last episode.. which is quite disappointing considering its great start.

did this director work on anything else besides chun hyang and my girl?

I'm starting to miss the Hong sisters...

the scene when yoo hee wakes up after the karaoke night, how can her hair be so perfect? no styling, not even combing needed! i blame tv magic, especially this show with all dem gorgeous ladies.

Thanks for the great summary! Eeeks what's the problem with YH's dad? this won't do , that won't do. Seriously, I can't think of another plot to continue this episode. *sigh*

That makes no SENSE! >:O I agree! I think Devil is one of the best kdramas I've watched recently. It deviates from the stereotypical romances and gives a refreshing take on drama plotlines nowadays.

You mentioned above that Snow Queen ended with low ratings? That's so disappointing! I think Snow Queen has become my second most favorite romantic drama of all time, after Autumn Tale. It was such a lovely story... but I suppose others might have thought otherwise. TT_TT

Haha, except for a couple of things, it totally feels like we're going back to ep 1 and do it all again.

The matrix stuff is lame. Who actually still uses it these days?

Despite the big mess of a storyline and direction, I actually enjoyed this episode more than ep 7, cause we get to see progression on both YH/Johnny as well as YH/MR (despite fake and everything).

I thank you for the quick recap of this series. I actually haven't seen this episode yet but I like going to your site and learning what exactly happened and what they have talked about ( obviously I don't know the language ). I understand now why the ratings were declining since we don't know exactly which of the three guys were really for Yoo Hee ( of course she'll end up w/ Mu-ryoung) but really she's already confused enough with her feelings. I hope this would pick up soon.

But I dunno, aren't Matrix parodies so 2002?

ROFL

I felt confused to reading your summary, what are they doing it is like an octagon or something...MR needs to get it together. If I had a bf I would never agree to be someone's fake gf ever!!!!

yeah, is this even possible? two such perfect people? well johnny wasnt that perfect in the begining. his temperment isnt like other ill tempered chefs. ehhehe oh well. i dont know what to make of these characters lately. yoo hee is a pitiful character at times, i can understand her in a way. she keeps this straight organized and no fuss demeanor on the outside. but you see her with the musical box, the disney boxers/underwear and all these small fetishes. so i think people need to realize this
