    Ep 13
    I love this episode so much. This drama is getting better ep by ep. I love how DJ and TS are learning the real love and their principle of “a woman can be forgotten by another woman” is going to break. DJ is tired of his messy life and want a comfortable life, like the skein he is unwinding. TS now thinks the world is not just full of women and the only women in his world is Sera. They are growing. Still, JR and Yoon are not moving even a step. JR can’t see his wife kind and warm heart and Yoon is in conflict with himself. Why do you love a man like JR, Mrs. Misook? It is because of the baby? maybe she is infertile. And MAR, please give him up. He is not going to come to his senses.

    The best and cutest scene in this episode is DJ’s jealousy scene. He is really like a child here.

    Jennie Says:

    Love the play of words between Yong Hwa and DJ. YH’s from CN Blue, DJ deliberately sang Big Bang’s Blue to be sarcastic. Yong Hwa gave him a good one back saying he’s as old as his dad and DJ told him to go back to his party who were becoming loners (ref to CN Blue’s hit song I’m A Loner) Haha :-D

    What will be showing on episode 15? i’m so much curious, cuz, Kim Do Jin’s son had spoiled the rhythm of this drama, TT^TT

    kdfan Says:

    I’m glad we didn’t have to wait a few eps to find out who the dad is. When speculating about Colin’s dad, I thought Meahri was the only one who was thinking rationally compare to the other 3 women. But rather immaturedly executed by saying she would ‘mother’ Colin. It doesn’t seem right to be so angry when this was something happened in the past. SR n JN looked like they would explode if their bf/hubby turned out to be the father. YS while some here speculated likely to willingly accept Colin if he was DJ’s son actually was so upset and accused DJ he may have more kids elsewhere. But she was probably shooting from the hips without thinking bec she was so mad with DJ. For whatever noble cause DJ did to protect YS, it was very unfair for him to not discuss the matter with her at all, a little unrealistic. Was he too shocked to cope, fight or flight, can’t handle YS and son at the same time? Hate the way he introduced YS to EH. But i guess it’s typical kdrama style for couple separation time. Spy #2 is quite funny, always misreading the situation n sending misleading info to JN.

    It is so poor for Sky, she cried too much. It is not fair when DJ dumped her regardless of her opinon. But I didnt understand the smile of lawyer at the end of Ep14. Be sure that there is an unclearance in this relationship. I dont know why I hate the Eunhee and her son in this ep hihihi, It might be this movies have an effects on my mind ( to be crazy fan of this movies) … Waiting next Ep is so tired hic hic

    Iknewit the mother sleep w/all 4 how she knows who the father is? just because the kid is good looking, that can come from other family members and she is beautifull it can be from her, and he so stuped how she is going to said is mine without doing the proff dna??? please that was to ake us like sad for a little time…I still love this drama a lot

    Jennie Says:

    @kdfan Do you really think that DJ is the dad? I think there’s a little twist at the end. Either that or the writer is playing with us. Agree with you about Maehri being spot on there regarding DJ being the father. I think so too plus DJ was the only one who did the simple calculation and asked Colin when he was born while the other three didn’t even think about it. The thing that bugs me is how can the writer tease us that all four men could be suspects? EH must have been a real teaser, wouldn’t she to string all four of them and why were they all so willing to share her affections then? If DJ isn’t the dad, my next suspect would be Yoon. Ideally the dad should be JR since his wife wants to have kids with the hope that maybe he’ll learn to be more responsible. Somehow I don’t see TS as the father at all. I find I like TS the most. He’s sincere, doesnt mince his words and is responsible. Sera the character too turned out well. At least we know that she’s not mean. I prefer both their love story more so than the leads’. The chemistry between DJ and YS is so lacking in this episode. It’s suppose to be sad because both of them do not understand each other enough to want to hold on to their relationship but somehow I don’t feel any sympathy nor the desire to side with either one of them. Is it the dialogue or just poor acting because none of the separation scenes did anything for me? And this DJ is so different from the level headed devil may care DJ in the beginning. Why can’t he fight for their love and be a dad at the same time? No way he’s planning to go back to EH since she’s happily married. Somehow, I think the story will be more believable if he’s really the dad and I hope there’s no twist at all. Not unless all four of them find out that Colin’s father is a fifth man and she had been stringing them along the entire time! One thing I like about this episode is the gathering of the four women to discuss their men’s problems and in the case of MS and Sera, that they are helping each other out and becoming ‘friends’ – more girl power, yay!

    kdfan Says:

    @Jennie i had wanted a scenario where everyone thought it would be DJ bec he’s the lead here therefore more likely to be the one, and then in the end it turned out none of the 4 are the dad. but since EH has confirmed DJ is the dad I think it looks like DJ it is for sure. otherwise it would be very mean of EH to lie over such matter n looking at the impact on DJ I don’t think she is capable of doing that to him. I thot the end scene confirmed DJ as the dad bec Yoon said as DJ’s lawyer he needed to confirm it as well. he was a step ahead of Colin, ran the paternity test and the result stated 99.9~%. Actually character-wise i m not attracted to any of the 4 but if I really have to choose among the 4, I would go for Yoon bec of his gentleness.

    Ep14

    Unexpected, exellent episode. Forget about everything but KDJ and his situation. He is stuck between his past- Eun hee and his present- YS. What he can do? He prefers to let his present go. He thinks by making her his recently lost love, he can protect her, without even asking about her feelings. He is afraid of losing her and he leaves her to prevent her from leaving him first. You are such a coward, man.

    YS is a very kind and caring person. She is not the one who can’t accept Colin. She even cares about her student like her own child, let alone her love’s son. But to her, he is not just an innocent child like Dong hyub. He is the symbol of her man’s first love, like a bridge to the past. So she can’t accpet him easily. Now she must fight the memories. Love memories Vs. present love. Which one is the winner?

    tc Says:

    @sara-512

    Agree with your comments on DJ and YS. Just that I don’t quite like this noble idiocy of DJ. He should at least give a chance to YS to hear her points of views about Colin instead of jumping the gun and dumped her in order to prevent her from making any sacrifice.

    Perhaps he did not realize the impact of his action on YS who was already so hurt by her mum’s rejection. I can’t wait to see how he need to grovel and regain YS’s trust again.

    I know the writer is using TS to create the conflict and angst between Yoon/Meahri but the hard stance taken by TS in objecting to their relationship was so dictatorial and harsh although I understand his rationale of doing it. Will be really curious to know the catalyst that will break Yoon’s resolve and move this couple forward. Must be a life threatening situation for Yoon to accept Meahri’s feelings and for TS to accept their relationship.

    kljk Says:

    so funny

  17. 517
    sara Says:

    @tc
    I also think TS is too harsh. Yoon doesn’t have any confidence. He says MAR’s being young, pretty and rich is the exact reason he can’t be with her and TS’s objection is another important reason. Count me in too. I’m so curious to know what that catalyst will be. I hope it happens soon.

    KDaddict Says:

    @kdfan-506, Jennie-510,
    When YS heard from Min Sook that one of the guys would be Colin’s father, she lay in bed to sulk. She wasn’t ballistic. The more she waited for DJ to call, the more she had ill forebodings. By the time, DJ called her so much later, she’d have suspected if not known for sure. She didn’t seem ready to turn away fr DJ. It was only when DJ dumped her that she got ballistic. She was mad that he left her, w/out even giving her a chance to deal w the fact that he had a son. Given time, she’d have come to terms w it; she said as much.
    Abt that twist at the end of ep 14, Yoon already ordered the DNA test. “I’m your father’s company attorney. I’ve to take care of these things”. And he called DJ and 1st Love to come to his office together. Did he call them to confirm DJ’s fatherhood or to refute it? I think it is to confirm it. (Tho the company belongs to DJ and TS).

  19. 519
    Bing Says:

    Episode 14, DJ did not even give YS the chance to react and to say something regarding his alleged proclaimed son. Thereby, putting himself in a very difficult situation. Instead, DJ told YS that he is taking back all the promises he had made with YS. After a day or two, DJ together with Eunhee met YS outside of Yoon’s office, YS was about to leave them when DJ grabbed her hand and later introduce them by telling one another “my ex-girlfriend Eunhee / and the one i had lost”. (what is that lost and found)? Very pitiful scenario in the part of YS. Accordingly, his way of protecting YS is not that helpful to both of them rather made her angry and hurt.

  20. 520
    CHEERS Says:

    Ok this episode, was sad, but for what?? I know it was shocking for him
    to find out that he got a son. This relationship happened way before Ms.
    Tuffet got in the picture. The ex-girlfriend is happily married like she said,
    and all he has to do is spend quality time with the son, no big deal. He
    did not have to break up with her. Shuda gave here some kind of explanation or time to think about whats up. I just don’t want the ending
    to be like a starring contest from afar. So pleezzz have a little wedding,
    and babies too. Big Blassssst.

  21. 521
    CHEERS Says:

    FORGOT TO SAY TOO, I WANT THE WHOLE NINE YARDS!!!!

    hny Says:

    I’m feel so entertained to watch my favorit KD Big, I do I do and GD they have amazing show this week who makes me follow their madness, sadness and laugh moment it’s very touches…and at the end.. happy ending with thrilling kiss.
    for GD I’m curious about YS after she know the collin is DJ’s son…except she being mad coz DJ’s leave her w no choice..did she’ll only wait until DJ’s ask her to stay w him or she do that first if she can accept that son.
    I hope next week can see more better..!! fighting

  23. 523
    Sarah Says:

    am i the only one who, despite having watched the most recent episodes, still doesn’t think DJ is the real father? re-watch the scene where Yoon gives Collin the paternity test; it doesn’t say DJ anywhere on the form. and when Yoon calls DJ and EH to his office, he has a slight smirk on his face. additionally, we all know kim eun suk is not a typical writer when it comes to dramas… making DJ the father is all too predictable for her audience. after this situation is cleared up, i think the next plot twist is going to involve DJ’s memory. kind of a flash back to the ending of secret garden, but oh well.
