A Virtuous Business: Episodes 9-10

by quirkycase

Young Bok's crying had me in tears. 😭😭😭

The whole robber and hit-and-run incident could have been executed better. It was resolved too quickly. I guess a few days went by before the ladies' brochure writing meeting and they acted like their usual happy teasing, but it still wasn't enough time. Maybe it would have been better if Geum Hee and her husband hadn't been involved in this plot. Like we didn't even see the crappy acquaintance get punished or his reaction to being caught.

The conflict affecting Young Bok's and Jong Sun's life was a compelling part of their story. It could have stayed within their part of the story. Plus dealing with the dilemma about their new baby. Eh, I'm not totally satisfied with the ending of this plot. I'm ready to move on though.

Jung Sook and Do Hyun had some tropey yet pretty cute scenes like the theme park and how the guy's the one who's scared during the rides. I like how Jung Sook is so proactive, whether it's with her personal life or her career. I want to see more giddy reactions from her when it comes to their dating and attraction, but I'm keeping in mind that she has a quiet, demure personality.

Yooooo, I was surprised by the twist! I'm glad I didn't expect it. Honestly, Geum Hee looks young to be Do Hyun's mother so I never had any suspicions that the drama would go this route. I thought the past lingering looks on her when she talked about children with Young Bok was because she couldn't have any.

With only 2 episodes left, I hope the show wraps up the remaining story threads well and not be rushed.

I'm looking forward to all of them except the last one. I'm not a big fan to adapt a movie in drama.

Thank you for writing down what happens in the episodes. So doesn't want to incur mindless violence. But he is being cornered into marrying Yeon Hwa to become strong. Hence, it is understandable that he is losing it and saying "Kill every single soul that dares to question his enthroning." He wants be with Su and he knows that Su doesn't like being one of multiple wives. Hence, I think his reaction to this plight is valid and consistent with how he would deal with things when cornered. So, when cornered knows how to get out mostly its with absolute destruction like when he killed the wolves and set the whole mountain on fire and when he went to kill the assassins in the temple his mom owned.

I am too squeamish to do anything medical/body-transformation related, but I think becoming a vigilante priest would make me depressed and angry all the time. All the corruption that I have to sacrifice my time and health to rectify because too many people out there suck. And I'm not even allowed to do the Justitia thing of killing them because of morals and priesthood and stuff.

Being a plastic surgeon consultant to the police can also help bring some people to justice. Not as satisfying, but I won't have to give all of myself.

Wow. I love that.
I, however, feel shriveled and jaded as it seemed like commonplace work dynamics to me.
Everyone's indignation here is very inspiring. I want to work with all of you.

He never seemed like leading man material to me. The best performance he gave in any show of his I've seen was in Sungkyunkwan Scandal, as one of the SMLs.

Mr. Plankton (Drama Hangout)

Agree with many who said this one gives you all the feels. Of course, I couldn't help but compare it to "Uncontrollably Fond", but I will say this one is better in plot and character development. I did wish though that they had spent more time on his "dad's" redemption arc....that guy never had to answer to the horrible way he ended up treating both his children. It would have been nice to see him ask for Heo-Jo's forgiveness and him realizing that letting go of the bitterness is a beautiful thing in the end. Or, they could have made it even more ironic if they showed that dad's illness came back and in a weird way, the son and dad both had terminal medical conditions, as if they were truly genetically linked! BWT - I also loved the soundtrack for this....but can see how Netflix is trying to bring in a more diverse audience with a lot of western music ("California" is now stuck in my brain!) But definitely worth a watch.....just make sure you are ready for episode 10!

Surgeon/consultant. Vigilantes face unpaid risks, surgeons get paid and in the real world if not necessarily Kdramaland, consultants usually get paid too.

Most mostly, certain aspects of the priestly life don't appeal to me. 😜
