I think the bunch of us who r watching this show will continue to be divided as who which guy to suppose!
One waits for her w ring in hand.
The other buys her stars for the ceiling, n sounds of nature to help her sleep well.
One goes sniff her perfume.
The other makes sure she gets good pre-natal care.
One has butterflies in the tummy all for her.
The other kneels in front of parents to take bullets for her.
One takes it upon himself to be her black rider, to spare her fr drinking.
The other lets her hear the heartbeats of her BB.
One goes completely ballistic when he thinks she has sb else.
The other is depressed the BB isn’t his.
Both wait for her for hours. Both pine for her. Both worry abt her.
How to choose???
Cutiepie is completely adorable in the way he wears his heart on his sleeve, in how he loves her without himself realizing, in how hi he gets when she calls, n how low he gets when he is kicked out. So, JA is his first love n he is a virgin! Hahaha.
Lee Jang Woo may be a relatively new star, but I love all his expressions.
Siblings or not?
Mdm Chairman hates Nari becos she is her husband’s illegitimate child. That makes her a “stepmother”. IF Mdm C is TK’s mother, which I’m pretty sure she is, then TK n Nari do have diff mothers n fathers. However, your mother’s step-daughter is still your sibling, or more precisely step-sister, i.e. your step-mother’s son is still your step-brother. There is no blood relation, but marriage btw such step-siblings is certainly forbidden in Korea, n indeed most Asian countries, esp for families w some social standing. It’d be scandalous. Totally.

Typo:
I think the bunch of us who r watching this show will continue to be divided as “to” which guy to “support”!

eps.7….I don’t know what to say…I do I do is great…I love Tae kang sing…so cute and I like Eun song w flower in his mouth
they both have their own charm when their waiting at JA house they talk like friend …and JA like flying on the wind with two man concern for her.
JA’s father are strange…why he want erase his grandchild..i thought his been lonely since JA grown up n busy w her career so grandchild should be the answer for his lonelyness..but it is not !! he just want great son in law for family dignity.
which one to support?!….not yet to decide

I Do I Do Ep 8 LIVE recaps here guys! http://www.vingle.net/posts/25923-Live-Recaps-I-Do-I-Do-Korean-Drama-EP-8
June 22nd, 2012 at 1:18 am
epi 7 is hilarious!! TK getting drunk n rowdy at d police station is simply too funny n his confession abt JA being his first woman really brought down d roof! LJW’s acting is simply superb n fun to watch…he delivers d most laughs compared to d staid n laid back doc!
even now…i still dun get d doc! he gave up JA as his marriage partner n both of them even shook hands to end their brief relationship….but he’s caring for her more than ever….its confusing….dun know wat he wants….is he acting the part of a caring doc or is he still harboring hopes of a future with JA???
June 22nd, 2012 at 2:04 am
The Doc in Eps 6-7:
I was wondering why so many ppl react negatively to the doc. Is it bc they find his behavior confusing? Is it bc they expect or prefer that he steadfastly loves JA when he finds out that she is pregnant?
He was just beginning to fall in love w her. The parents say get married already. Just then she says she is pregnant! How is he supposed to feel? His extremely short-lived dream of a happy future w her is dashed!
He still cares, so he comes by to check on her, to make sure she is ok. JA is embarrassed abt the whole mess, n wants to bow out gracefully. So she wishes him well w a good woman, n extends her hand for him to shake. Being polite, he shakes it.
Then she doesn’t show up for her next check up, n blows his colleague off. As a doc, as a friend, as a man who Could have married her, he has to twist her arm into coming for the check up. So he goes to her office to tell her abt the dangers of the 1st trimester, cos she is obviously clueless. Isn’t that decency betwn human beings?
Does he think at this pt that they’ll get married? Probably not.
Does he want to wash his hands of her? Doesn’t look like it.
Does he know what he wants to do abt her? Absolutely not. It shows he is human.
Now, it all seems perfectly reasonable to me.
June 22nd, 2012 at 2:08 am
#381 should be: The Doc in Eps 6, 7, “and 8″.
Cos much of it happens in Ep 8.
June 22nd, 2012 at 2:09 am
I dont know how to say how much i love ep 8.
June 22nd, 2012 at 2:14 am
Ep 8:
When TK sees JA w Doc, he is angry n just miserable.
When Doc can’t find JA, he is worried sick.
JA obviously is feeling, showing jealousy.
Doc is showing concern.
I wouldn’t know how to pick based on how they feel abt her.
But I know how I feel abt who to have children with.
TK is a happy, fun, caring, sweet human being. Oh, n let’s not forget cute. It’d be wonderful to have his children, one after another, a whole half dozen of them. It wouldn’t be so bad to have him around either, would it?
June 22nd, 2012 at 8:19 am
what is the manga book the Korean drama I do, I do is based on
June 22nd, 2012 at 11:07 am
Ep 8:
Cutiepie is too embarrassed to go into the office after he wakes up fr his drunken stupor n was told that he confessed feelings to JA. Ahhhh! He wanders around for a day until he finally goes to the office at night, n runs into JA there. She is quite cruel in telling him not to bother w his hurt feelings, bc no matter how much that night means to him, it means nothing to her, as she has never seen him as a man. Ough! That’s really cruel! Must u be like that, JA ssi?
Despite her cruelty, he continues to care. He goes to her team when no one else will; he is on needles when Doc drops by, n stills makes sure she gets fed after her having been too stressed out to eat all day. I think he is the sweetest guy! Don’t care abt his IQ, as his EQ is off the charts! What a guy!
And that hand-cart ride to carry her to the toilet n back, under the starry night sky, isn’t that romantic?
Abt the Doc’s feelings:
Sometimes you don’t know how much you love a person until sth bad is happening to them; then you find that u can’t stand by n just watch; u r compelled to worry, to help, to make things better for them; in short you want to be part of their life, even if it isn’t what you planned. At least in dramaland that’s often the case. That’s what’s happening w Doc.
June 22nd, 2012 at 12:06 pm
ep 8 made me think that the doc is not bad at all. I think he trying to treat JA as other patient but he cant stop worrying about her since he fall in love with her. he even bought the pills after has been chased by JA and running to her house to find whether she’s OK or not.
and our TK,
how I love his attitude. he get hurt when JA said she didnt look at him as man. but he still followed her everywhere. he choose to be in JA’s team even he know he will treat better if he in nari’s team. I think, he will ask his father’s help to make the shoes for JA in next ep since his father already know bout JA’s existence. can’t wait to see what happened in next ep.

Episode 7
The cat is out of the bag…this is the moment of revelation. We see our main characters doing the great reveal.
- Jian, to prevent her father from humiliation if he does proceed to beg for forgiveness on her behalf from Eun-Sung’s family, finally spilled out that she is pregnant much to her parents’ dismay.
- Eun-sung, admitting to being harsh when he let loose unpleasant remarks to Jian at the restaurant, when over her place. Trying to restrain his emotions, he confessed to Jian that for the first time in his entire life he had looked forward to sharing a life with someone. But for now that remains uncertain.
- Tae Kang, in drunken fit, blurted out how Jian had stirred his being and ever since that day he was never the same…it’s all because she was his first woman!
It’s a treat seeing the two men waiting and exchanging description of the woman they were after not knowing that they were talking of one and the same person – Jian. While waiting, we see Tae Kang, full of exuberance of youth, cannot sit still. He restlessly kept himself mobile – walking around, exercising, doing kung fu moves, etc. With exhilarated anticipation he waited, armed with a ring that he was prepared to give. The fact that the ring belonged to his grandmother and was told by his father to give it to the woman he’s to marry made it more poignant. In contrast, Eun-sung waited in anxious expectation, knowing fully well that the parting at the restaurant was an unpleasant one. Both men obviously felt something for Jian but were expressing that concern in their own distinct ways. One was oblivious to what he felt saying that it was just curiosity. The other was certain of his feelings but was stymied to pursue. Both played hero to their lady in distress. One took the shot of liquor to the point of drunkenness. The other took the bullet of humiliation and disgrace in front of their parents’ eyes. Really, there is no point of comparison. Both have their charms.
This episode has a couple of heartwarming moments:
- Jian hearing for the first time the heartbeat made her to resolve in keeping the baby
- Jian reminiscing her younger days and dreaming that all is well with her and her parents. In spite of her empowered woman persona, Jian was a child inside longing for her parents’ love.
- Eun-sung, a professional doctor that he was, trying to show a brave front but deep inside was having difficulties. His pain was written all over his face.
- Tae Kang seeing and realizing that the woman he and Eun-sung were talking about was one and the same person. His eyes showcased a gamut of emotions from surprise to confusion to realization to hurt to relief to resentment to denial and back to confusion. Even his best friend pointed it out if he is free and happy why the look on that face.
Our main characters are going through rough times…let see how they will handle these…on to the next episode.
June 22nd, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Wow! Lots of things seem to be happening! Thought I’ve just missed out only on 4 episodes, I feel so left behind… Need to do some serious catching up!!!
June 22nd, 2012 at 5:54 pm
When will it be possible to see the Chapter 8.

@ KDaddict
Thank you for your comment on drama page of Dr.Jin (I totally agree with you about JGS fans and few other actor or actress fan. They are really mad when we have bad comments on their idols). I better move here because I see you are more active in few sites rather than Dr. Jin if you decided not to watch it.
Nowadays, I mostly wait until the drama almost reach the ending only I start watching it. But in a meanwhile I will be following the prospect dramas comments before deciding on watching it. From your comment, I think GD is quite good so far. But, I still don;t know about I Do, I do and BIG. How about those dramas?
June 22nd, 2012 at 7:25 pm
@Melda,
1st off let me say that I have nothing against JGS. Everyone gets upset if their idol is criticized. That’s to be expected. I was talking abt them being upset even when their idol is NOT criticized, but sth in their drama is.
If u still don’t know abt I do, I do and Big, u can take a look at those threads. I left many comments there too.
June 22nd, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Wouldn’t it be neat if JA, TK and his father make shoes together? While JA and TK make more babies?
Then Mdm C can reclaim TK, and pass the company to TK and JA to run together? And Nari and Jay can go back to the U.S. together, or wherever they came from?
Oh, but what to do with Doc? He’s a nice guy too.
June 22nd, 2012 at 9:41 pm
And what would be if JA&TK make a shoe witch will be wearable for a pregnant woman too? Maybe a styleish kitten heel sandal?
It would be cute.

i would LOVE that. lol

Nari and Jerk face Jake needs to go back wherever the cam from.
Oh, but what to do with Doc? He’s a nice guy too.
as for Doc, he is a cock-block at the moment so i could care less, what happen to him. (-.-) “still love the actor tho….
June 22nd, 2012 at 11:06 pm
@ KDaddict, yes, people so crazy when you criticize their idol. They call you a hater for given your honest opinion. I have seen some Fans go crazy just because some one criticized how their idol acting skills needs more work, so i just don’t bother with them, i just leave my comments and stand for what i see/ feel. I LOVE KSA, but i have came across many comments that i didn’t like, but i don’t go jumping don’t their throat.
June 22nd, 2012 at 11:23 pm
@true2u,
I think the writer is doing a very good job in giving us chars w believable actions, except for Nari, whom I don’t get at all. She is too much of a light wt to take on JA. It’s just a plot device to give TK a chance to team up w JA. So…., OK, I’ll force myself to swallow it for what it is. As I wrote in previously, I don’t get why many ppl hate Doc; he seems reasonable to me.
Ppl not only get mad when u criticize their idol, but when u criticize some aspect of the drama in which the idol appears. We r supposed to sing praises of ALL aspects of their drama, EVERYTHING abt it, or else u r labeled a basher. That’s a bit much.
As for the few ppl who say they don’t like KSA, bc she is old, etc., it is obvious that they r not watching the acting. Some ppl only love their idols, all else be damned.
June 22nd, 2012 at 11:41 pm
@true2u,
Yes, Doc is definitely blocking TK’s way to JA, but in the nicest of ways, plus we need one for a while yet, cos this KD still has another 8 eps to go.
June 23rd, 2012 at 12:10 am
I wonder what’s gonna happen in the next episode. I really can’t wait to see TK and JA get together. I’d be fun to watch.
June 23rd, 2012 at 12:19 am
@ KDaddict the writer are doing a good job at developing each character as you said except Nari.. She has yet to put her ALL in her work, but she wants to be CEO? but i also have a problem with the staff that works for Ji-An, that one girl BLEW me away when she went to Nari room, and that Jake guy is so full of himself that i think he’s not all what he is said to be.
“As for the few ppl who say they don’t like KSA, bc she is old, etc., it is obvious that they r not watching the acting. Some ppl only love their idols, all else be damned.”
indeed all else is DAMNED! but the age thing PISS me off. If the guy is older, NO ONE has a problem but if its the girl, everyone say its disgusting and etc., I realized most of those who say its disgusting are those would are caught up in the idol “acting” stars. I’m 21 and i can’t put up with grown women who is suppose to be 20 years old and up, and act like “pre k” kids bounce of walls, I tried “BIG” because of Gong Yoo but dropped 10 mins in because of the lead girl… P.s ” whats your take on this, should i give it another chance”
And YES, Doc is definitely blocking, and its not the nicest way at all. I wanted her to tell him but he just had to appear, huh? (-.-)
i hope he’s not trying to let Ji-an hide it from TK.
