    @KDaddict…U right is not comfortable to lie on wrist,but here ..I think the director’s not fault…he direct them to act like that for describe their bad relationship…Min sook ask JR to lent his arm but JR position a little bit far from MS ( I think)and MS not move to make closer too (it’s describe they both selfish person). so finally MS lie on his wrist. And sometimes I act like that too when have bad condition w hubby ;-)

    HI.
    No, it wasn’t offered to WB. It was just my dream. He was great in The man from nowhere so i really wanted to see him in a drama and what’s better than KDJ role. But now, i ‘m fully satisfied with JDG. He is great. I think i was completely knocked out by him when YS accidentally fell on him and he stared at her. His eyes made me crazy.

    I’ m sure both of shoulder and wrist are boney and uncomfortable. But wasn’t it strange if she slept in his arms comfortably? I mean although he is so adorable but a playboy who cheats left and right too. So when they are in bed, the situation must be strange.

    Ep10
    Very beautiful episode. Again the dialogues impressed me. “I threw my feelings to you, like rocks and one of the rocks hurt you” so so beautiful. Feelings are soft but rocks are hard, beautiful contradiction.

    Sera was not as hateful as always in this episode. we saw her kind and caring side too. But i still hate her and her relationship with TS.

    Jeong rok is the heart of the drama. He is very funny and adorable. He betrays his wife the moment you think he has a bit of sincerity. I love him.

    It’s time to give up MAR. Now i want to see Yoon gets jealous and it’s his turn to chase after her. MAR is my fave female in this drama. Don’t break her heart, yoon.

    KDaddict Says:

    @hny, sara,
    Hmm……
    Given that JR started the evening with a stem rose between his teeth, I believe he could do better than to give her a wrist when she asked for a shoulder. He meant to please her, didn’t he? We’ve seen him try to whip up an evening of hotness fr time to time. N as he told his friends, things have been going swimmingly betwn him n his wife lately. He sang her a song in public, n she craved some comforting, rather than hotness. That’s why the wrist didn’t seem appropriate at this pt.
    I want to be shown more interaction betwn this couple. Just her staring coldly, n him calling Honey, Wife, Noona, Min Sook Noona…..is getting old. ;)

    KDaddict Says:

    Sb, a JDG did-hard fan, got mad at us for saying that JDG looked older than his age in the beginning. Well, he did.
    Now after 10 eps, we are saying: His stare is pure hotness in molten gold, whatever age he might look. I hope that person sees this as well. It isn’t that he looks 30 as that person said. It’d be sad for a Korean actor to look this old at 30; his career probably wouldn’t go far. ;) However, the electricity and intensity of that stare when he wants to turn it on, cannot be matched by guys who are or look younger. So looking young isn’t everything either. N some viewers call a spade a spade.

    kdfan Says:

    JDG looks his age for sure. As a person grows older, looks or physical qualities are no longer the main thing that attract. Charisma, speech, attitude, mannerism, etc, these are what we are attracted to more about JDG now. When my kids were babies, I took them to a paeditrician who was in his late 50s. I found him very attractive bec of his mannerism, calm, cool, collected, courteous, friendly n elegantly charming. Definitely looking young isn’t everything anymore. Hopefully JDG will be as hot in his 50s so that we can continue our KD craze as we age :)

    KDaddict Says:

    How does one turn on that kind of laser-like intensity in a stare, n how does he control that smirk at the corners of mouth to be almost present but not quite, but makes it barely visible yet you can’t overlook, is what I’d like to know!

    Young hunks with well toned abs are everywhere in Kdramaland. But, Ah, time-resistant mega stars are what they r for very good reasons. Hooray for JDG n Cha Seung Won, etc. Rock on into your 50′s, ahjussi’s!

  10. 435
    KDaddict Says:

    @sara,
    Yep. I’ve been wondering what it’ll take to happen to MR b4 Yoon would jump in!
    Does it take her spurning him, like DJ is doing to YS?
    Does it take her getting into a traffic accident for real?
    Does it just take her dating Colin? What?
    What r you waiting for Choi Yoon ssi?

  11. 436
    sara Says:

    @KDaddict
    I still think he looks older than his age but he ‘s getting better ep by ep.He have to gain some weight first. But does he have a witch in his eyes? They work like magic and cast a spell on you that you can’t help but be still and stare at him. A kind of charisma, charm, uniqueness which is really rare in young ones. If Cha Seung Won is super hot and sexy, Jang Dong Gun is super magical and sexy. Is it possible to see both of them in a drama one day? I know it’s impossible.

    Regarding Yoon and MAR, it seems the best option is the first one. She MUST spurn him but the problem is that Yoon is too reasonable. He already loves her but we need something that makes him lose mind control. What it could be?

    Ep 9 & 10

    Wow, I really got my wish of seeing YS chasing after DJ for almost 2 episodes which ended up with a window kiss cliffhanger. The writer has cleverly crafted the reunion scene between YS/DJ at the same place where DJ first saw YS and was mesmerized by her. The window kiss was a good prelude to what most fans will expect in next ep ie a real hot reunion kiss! Otherwise, there will be a barrage of screams of frustration and cursing at the writer!

    JJ Says:

    I’m completely addicted to this drama & never thought JDG & KHN would have a great chem in this drama! they’re both funny & that’s the side of JDG i haven’t seen before! my fave among these four gents wld be the love story of DJ & Soo! I can’t wait for the next epis.

  14. 439
    tc Says:

    Taesan was so egotistic! Can’t believe he actually said to DJ that he doubt YS will fall for DJ now since YS already liked him!

    I feel a bit tired keep on watching Colin looking at the picture of his mum with the 4 guys every time he came across them. Was surprised to know that Colin’s mum is still alive from his call with her. Wonder why the mum still refuses to let Colin know who is his dad when she is already aware that her son is in Seoul looking for his dad? My guess of Eun Hui been Colin’s mother may be far fetched now since JR actually met her in Seoul whilst I gather from Colin’s call that his mum is in Japan.

    Did anyone notice the scene where Yoon was pulling Maehri away from the cars? When Maehri was trying to flag down a cab, the road was empty. When she was trying to cross the road, it was full of cars screeching and horning. However, there was no cars again when Yoon walked away from her. Maybe the filming was done in stages at different times?

    KDaddict Says:

    @tc,
    Absolutely. It is time Colin and his mom take center stage, to create some havoc in the lives of the 4 guys.
    I think Colin Called his mom, to say that he can approach those 4 men if he needs money, since she cancelled his CC’s. So she panics n comes over in a hurry. It’s only a one-hour flight fr Japan to Seoul.

    Why doesn’t she not tell Colin who the dad is? What if she slept w more than one of them within a short time n doesn’t know which one is the dad herself? Just teasing. Keke.
    I noticed the difference in traffic pattern n thought it weird. ;)

  16. 441
    tc Says:

    @KDaddict

    I forgot about the short distance between Japan and Seoul. There is still a chance then for Eun Hui to be Colin’s mum and add another twist to DJ and YS’s relationship. The plot will thicken with DJ torn between his first love and YS…. my imagination is running wild again! This drama is so addictive! I am so emotionally invested in DJ/YS’s relationship. You are so right about JDG’s magnetic gaze – so mesmerizing and when one looks at his eyes, other parts of his body pale into comparison.

    Sara Says:

    Loving this drama so much. Ohhh and the last scene of episode 10, gosh I feel relieved now haha :D

  18. 443
    KDaddict Says:

    @tc, sara,
    I wonder if his wife drops cups n saucers, bowls n dishes, or whatever she is holding at the moment, when he turns on that magnetic gaze at home? Keke. Can you imagine being married to that? It takes someone w a strong emotional stamina. Too rich for the likes of mere mortals, me thinks!
    Btw, Sara w a capital S (#442) is not the same person as sara w a small s (#436), with whom we’ve been communicating, right?

    This show gets better and better with each episode ! Lovin’ it !

  20. 445
    tc Says:

    @KDaddict-443

    I think JDG’s wife would have smashed cups & saucers or hurled things against the wall in frustration if she were to watch the drama and noticed the great chemistry and skinship moments that her husband have with Kim Ha Neul. Of course, we all know it’s pure acting but it looks so real to viewers. How does one stay immune? No wonder, Han Ga In’s husband mentioned at one interview that he did not watch Moon Embraces The Sun or other romantic scenes played by his wife so that he does not feel disturbed at the closeness his wife has with the male leads!

    I also think it is a different Sara, judging from the style of writing.

    hny Says:

    @KDaddict @tc….444-445

    it would be end off married if his wife do that ;-) but maybe JDG”s wife have different reaaction…let say… maybe when she watch it…she start by :D , jumping up and trampling on a pillow then took a bite … aughhh ;-) but when JDG show up in her face she said…Hi Honey…

    @sara 436…it seem u have twin here ;-)
    I also hope can see cha seung won n JDG in one drama…hope to be come true. They both melted me :D

  22. 447
    sara Says:

    @KDaddict,tc,hny

    Sara with capital S is not me. That’s why i don’t use capital S coz most of the people use it and Sara or Sarah is a common name.

    I would drop everything in my hand, if he looked at me with that magical gaze. His wife also is a woman and possibly do the same. But i don’t think she can take watching this drama. It’s just acting but some of the scenes are breathtaking and sensual. I’m sure she will get very jealous and it’s safe for her heart to not watch this drama at all. We ‘re looking forward to hot kiss and bed scenes.

  23. 448
    sara Says:

    But i wonder what will happen in next episodes. I just hope the writer doesn’t do anything to main characters like she did to RI in SEGA and when DJ has kind of strange disease too. I’ll really kill her if something happens to MAR or Yoon.

  24. 449
    tc Says:

    @sara-447

    Yes, don’t think JDG’s wife can remain unaffected if she watches the drama. For our sake, it is also better she doesn’t coz we have more chances to see JDG in romantic dramas.

    SEGACRAZE Says:

    I’m watching all the 3 rom-com dramas but my most fav is AGD…So much enjoying this bec its full of funny antics that makes me really laugh.And maybe im just the only one who loving Lee Jung Rok the most among the four Ajusshi..just find him the funniest among them..
