And ES? she is just a kind hearted soul, i think too she is lost on what to do in the situation. I just want to give her a hug or a pat on the back. TS is really driving me nuts in this ep. Will read the explanations for ep7 though. Excited about the extensions.

thanks sarah!! :) i was confused about that ep. i didnt really know what to think of it. personally, i found the airplane flying scene cool not too flashy. think of it as a way to bring solace in a way. even if there were different motives, i still think there were underlying emotions there from JH or what that it got to his mind. i dont know it just sounds soothing and relaxing to me escpecially in ES place and if i heard that music... :) btw, what does chaebol mean? when TS told HR's dad that?

this drama is really diff. from traditional dramas, both from the characters and the plots. this is the only dram i watch recently. but for the 6,7 eps., i felt depressed after watching it. because i really don't wanna see Eric in that kind of position any more. hope like javabeans said, in ep 8, the whole drama will turn to a new direction.

thanks sarah for the quick update.:)i loved your "overhyping" for this ep,cuz you're right,it really kicked ass! watching the ep again with this new knowledge in mind will make it so much more interesting and meaningful(and intense) for me.and i agree,Tae Joo really does need to suffer a bit for him to learn,and so far i liked the way the writers are doing it for him.but they are really good at keeping us hanging at the end,didnt they?like ginnie said,Ep 8 could be going in ANY direction..drats i cant believe i have to wait another week for whats gonna happen next.

Nah..you are not the cold-hearted cynic..I am just bad at accepting the fact that Eun Soo and Tae Joo are not going to be happy for a little while now...Tae Joo is going to suffer (I can't get used to this jealousy stuff yet) and Eun Soo's going to rub salt onto his wound because like you said, she might be doing this unknowingly. Tae Joo's acting like a little boy in front of Eun Soo not knowing what effect he has on her...

In some ways, they are the most honest couple so far though. Take away all those politeness and trickeries, they are being honest about what they say to each other..the other couples TJ-HR , JH-HR , JH-ES...are still not completely honest with each other...yet.

for sure the dynamics will change again in episode 8!
Your guess is as good as mine!

Hm, interesting take, ginnie. I didn't see Eun Soo's words as too harsh -- or rather, harsher than Tae Joo deserved. They are both talking to each other more bluntly these days, it seems, stripped of pleasantries and frills. But I see it more like speaking the cold, hard, truth rather than being purposely hurtful. I see Tae Joo trying hard to engage Eun Soo and help her, and as the audience it's obvious to us that he's not intending to mock her or belittle her. But from Eun Soo's perspective, things look a lot different... It's like a boy pulling a girl's hair or tormenting a girl he likes: it's cute from an adult perspective, but knowing the boy's feelings doesn't make the poor girl suffer any less.

Who knows, maybe I'm just a cold-hearted cynic! Because when Eun Soo said the line about TJ having an empty heart, I loved it. I definitely feel for Tae Joo and want things to work out for him in the end, but I think he needs to suffer a bit first, and I love how they're handling the relationships. I'm so glad the week ended with ep 7 and not 6! Like you, I was squirming in the last segment, thinking, "Oh, this is SO NOT going to end well..."

wow this episode was full of surprises!! i really can't wait til i get to even see the show!!!! thanks for the recap! i always love you're lovely pictures, i must say that eunsoo has definitely grown in my eyes. she doesn't seem as ditsy as she was before!! whoo for her!! ^^

I agree ! Episode 7 kicked major ass!

The relationship between all four characters are on the surface now. Episode 8 can really go in ANY direction. I am at the edge of my seat when they were in the storeroom and Tae Joo's last line means that he is OUT of the contract, doesn't it? I wish wish wish he doesn't get trapped in Hyerin's contract again.

But....Hyerin isn't any dumb person. She has her cunning ways and I really am anticipating at the same time concerned what she will do next to everybody. OR Joon Hyuk...he is still the mysterious person, free for the QSS writer to manipulate in any way. I have a feeling that he is going to turn out more capable of tricks than Ms. Rich-and-bossy.

About Eun Soo...hmm...eventhough I admire her dignity and her strength to stand up to obstacles that come her way...but don't you think, Sarah, her words to Tae Joo are quite hurtful? I can't say those words to a person that I love or used to love...Does she hurt as much when she says those words? Tae Joo is trying to help as much as he knows how...but apparently he failed. He really should try to be more sincere and reveal his heart to Eun Soo....Both of them need a heart-to-heart talk!!! Till when are they going to stay like this? Hurting each other with words that both don't mean necessarily.

I miss those sweet, happier moments from older episodes...let's stop the hurting...

Episode 6 was one of those necessary but scattered plot to make the second male lead look good. I am suspecting that Joon Hyuk has something up his sleeve. The ride on the plane is too flashy to me. He might be trying to wow Eun Soo and this was clear when he asked Eun Soo about Tae Joo in the car ride back to her apartment. He even admitted to her that "It is not about you, it is Tae Joo" that he is interested in.

After watching 7, I understood 6 better...Guess they needed two episodes for this plot to flow.
I think Tae Joo in Episode 6 was being patient and accomodating because he agreed to the contract. He is taking it all because this is part of what Hyerin envisioned in the contract. So he is only "working" to fulfill his role in this contract. After all, if he doesn't accept all those luxuries, who would believe he is dating Ms. Rich-and-Bossy. Of course, he now has to also fulfill Ms.Rich-and-Bossy's "image". It would only invite unnecessary gossips from people that thought they are incompatible if he continues with his old job, old style. But...his patience runs thin when she presses her luck one time too many..and we see that in episode seven!

Episode 7 was very exciting! I had to close my eyes for the last few minutes, thinking I might just pass out from anxiety when those two clueless leads were talking...

ginnie,
i agree with you about episode 6... I wasn't sure how I felt about it and didn't want to get too down on it, but now that I've seen Episode 7 (and it's so much better!) I feel comfortable saying that yeah, 6 seemed scattershot.

I don't understand Tae Joo in this episode, and Hye Rin's losing me too... But I was okay with the plane thing (although you're right, it feels too soon) because JH doesn't really know how to express himself -- or rather, maybe his feelings for Eun Soo are so inchoate and early/hazy that he doesn't understand them... but he knows he wants to feel closer to her, and does that by taking her up in his plane.

But fear not! 7 is full of good stuff. :D
