@true2u,
Yes, I wrote abt Nari’s ambition to be CEO: If there is 1 thing that is unbelievable in this drama, it is that.
That 1 girl who is normally loyal to JA goes to N’s room, bc then TK will feel he has to stick by JA. The payoff will come when JA trains him, n the 2 of them have an additional dimension to their relationship.
Of course Doc has to block TK. If JA tells TK now, it’d be end of show! Fini!
Some comments can’t be taken seriously. Those who bash KSA e.g.
I enjoy BIG a great deal. GY is doing a bang up job playing several chars in 1. Suzy is sweet n comical. I dont have a problem w the lead actress, Lee Min Jung. I dont see her acting like a pre-teen kid.
June 23rd, 2012 at 2:10 am
This show is getting more and more interesting! Love how the 2 guys are ‘vying’ for Ji An in their own ways. Both lead guys are playing their part very convincingly. Most of all, I love their chemistry with Suna!
June 23rd, 2012 at 2:11 am
@ KDaddict, with that said, i guess i’ll jump back onto “BIG”
Hopes its good, only I Do I Do and Ghost has me Hooked “more I do i do tho.”

They are satisfying. Less NR and doctor= more cute and lovely scenes in the drama. I just hate NR and as if she wasn’t enough, they added Jake who is as annoying as her. But TK makes up for that annoying moments. I love how he shows JA the real sky comparing to doc’s fake sky. He can melt her ice.

@sara,
That’s a really good pt: Doc gives her a fake sky; but TK shows her the real one!
Continuing our discussion on our hatred for villains:
I hate Nari bc it makes no sense that she wants to be sth (CEO) that she has no business being, compared to our heroine. Partly that’s the fault of the writer, but that renders the char unsympathetic. The writer has given us nothing to pity her for.
June 23rd, 2012 at 1:49 pm
If it was me I would say I do I do to a relationship with Lee Jang Woo warm eyes, warm smile and warm heart endless talent
June 23rd, 2012 at 3:59 pm
I hate the ratings. Compared to Gentleman’s Dignity, I do I do is far more better story and with a story I guess than a series w/out any relevance at all. Sometimes I really dont believe in Ratings. Well I just have to continue watching I do I do & enjoy every episode of it. Go go Kim Sun Ah. Fighting!

@shoshlev #407: same here….TK’s character is like a breath of fresh air….epi 8 had me giggling to myself ovr all d cute moments between icy cold JA n warm sunshiney TK. i think TK has all d best lines written for him coz he’s winning hearts hands down!!
only spoiler here is d doc; again! concern as a doctor friend to JA…yes but anything other than that…no!! i hate seeing him blow hot n cold…when he rejected marriage to JA he shud have put his foot down already to any other display of emotions towards JA; caring or otherwise. he’s gonna get himself hurt if he continues to care emotionally for JA coz d way i see it…he cant help developing special feelings towards her.
as for nari…she landed d job as vice-president by way of ‘nakasan’ not by virtue of merits so thats why many of us do not sympathise with her character…she had it all made for her n by abandoning her own mother to get close to lady chairman n vying for d top post is a hypocrite by name! if she’s that good at her job why the need to rope in jake han or whatever!!
as for the jumping ship by the entire office staff except TK…its d worst betrayal of trust for JA! its unbelievable that JA does not have anyone standing by her side after so many years of working together…its pathetic!

This drama is the best drama for me now. I’m not interesting about the rating . A lot of good dramas that I have watched in the past , they got low rating . I don’t know Why? But for sure I enjoy with it every episodes that enough for me. I love this drama the actors and actress especially KSA LJW and PGH .They can work very well in their role. This drama is a rom-com but insert a lot of substance in this .
June 23rd, 2012 at 9:07 pm
@KDaddict
Yes. She is an empty shell too. Being a illegitimate child is the only reason for her to be a stupid and selfish character but it’s not enough. Sometimes i don’t believe the writer. The lead is KSN who shines in every role she plays. JA is a wonderful woman. If we compare them, JA is like the anaconda and NR is a little worm. How they can fight when they are not in the same category? So the other factor for being a believable villain is being in the same category with the lead.
June 24th, 2012 at 12:59 am
@sara & KDaddict
agree with both of you re NR. don’t understand her behaviour at all. why is she against JA? if she wants to take over the company, shouldn’t she get JA on her side?

Very good point, sara.
You are sharp. Didn’t think of the fake and real sky. Brilliant!
That scene was sure cute, right? And guess KSA was so touched that she offered to tutor LJW. We’ll get to see some intimate scenes soon as they will be working closely together now.
June 24th, 2012 at 1:52 pm
Yo my love KSA, Please take good care of your body and your health. Please eat useful food and sleep well.Be careful when you walk up the stair or driving a car . You should drink milk every day don’t drink alcohol and coffee. Because you have pregnant now OK. Always love you.
June 24th, 2012 at 5:53 pm
@407 shoshlev – You’re so cute! How can anyone not be taken in by his warm eyes, warm smile & warm heart? So I do, I do too!!! ^____^
June 24th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
@sulyn
It was so cute. He can’t give her luxury things, can’t take care of her like the doc does but he can show her the world she has been missing for ages. That’s why she accepts to tutor him. She wants to bring him into her world too. Now they are getting familiar with each others’ worlds. They seem to be very different but if you look carefully, are very similar.

Episode 8
What to do Eun-sung? He’s in a turmoil. He is struggling to keep a balance between being a man of medical profession and being a man in love. Others may find him overbearing but understand that he had obviously fallen hard for Jian. As a doctor and as a man who loves her, he was concerned about her. Knowing that Jian will not trade her work for anything, he was distraught when she failed to show up for her appointment with her OB-Gyne. Compounding the matter, his doctor-friend gave up on her when she told the doctor to just email her everything he wants to tell her. Realizing that Jian was one who will not be easily persuaded, he personally went to see her at work and told her the dangers if she persisted in refusing to see her doctor. He rattled off several don’ts with regards to pregnancy and Jian balked at the things presented to her. What finally nailed the coffin and made her burst into rage and tears was the idea that she should refrain from wearing high heels. But heels were her life, her passion and she couldn’t accept the idea. Much as he want to spare Jian from the pain he had to tell her up front or risk the possibility of loosing her baby. Knowing that this pregnancy might just be the only chance of Jian into motherhood he had to tell her as it is. He had likewise cross the line when he told Jian’s father about it when the latter sought him out for help. In his desire to safeguard her, his actions seemed domineering for he had the tendency to take matters into his hands. It rubbed others the wrong way. His well meaning and good intentions were mistaken for arrogance by some.
It’s good that the writer put in a good measure of humor in between moments of woes. I find the part where Tae Kang unintentionally walked in and found Jian in a state of bliss upon removing her brassiere, hilarious. Imagine yourself in such an awkward situation. I would have died of embarrassment. Give it to Kim Sun Ah to put in the chutzpah! And what a darling Tae Kang is. Of course, to save Jian the discomfiture he pretended it was nothing. He stole my heart away when he persistently but lovingly cajoled Jian to join him for dinner. Surprise, surprise dinner was with the ‘family’. He was constantly conscious of her condition – gently reminding her to eat, saving her from alcoholic drinks, not letting her walk but instead giving her the ride in her “carriage”. Unwittingly, this kid surely knows how to win your heart.

Of the 3 v popular dramas that I’m watching right now, Gentleman’s Dignity, Big, n I do, I do, and of all the leading male chars in these show, including the 4 men–Kim Do Jin, Yoon, Tae San, Jung Rok, Gong Yoo’s Yoon Jae, Kang Kyung Joon, and Tae Kang, my favorite character is Tae Kang. He really is a very nice, warm, loving, sweet, considerate, thoughtful, and lovely human being. We won’t even mention cute, handsome, gorgeous, etc. As long as he doesn’t fall for that apprentice witch, what’s her name, Nari, I love him all the way!
June 25th, 2012 at 9:33 pm
I can’t understand the low ratings.
June 25th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
@418 KDaddict: same here. after so many years of kdrama viewing n having gone thru hundreds (or could it be thousands?) of perfect male leads…this is the first time a character as sweet as TK is created! he is absolutely the most perfect male lead with so many desirable characters not counting his boyish good looks n great body!
so in a way, im super excited to see such perfection on screen who’s gonna be paired with another super perfect leading lady aka KSA! she’s too beautiful here…perfect complexion, super svelte figure, sexy shoes, great hairstyle, beautiful clothes n thawing icy demeanour in d company of mr sunshine!
these are d reasons why i love this show!

@419 Carla
Don’t let the ratings affect you, dear. Just enjoy the show. Ratings don’t tell us everything. Often times, high ratings are because of the presence of a popular pop idol in the show and we know how huge some of these pop idols’ fanbase can be! So for me, I’ll watch a show if I enjoy it, ratings notwithstanding. In fact, I’ve dropped shows with top ratings because they didn’t appeal to me!
June 25th, 2012 at 10:52 pm
yes yes echo wat jangerr said!!! wat a good drama! pity some dunno how to appreciate. I watched with glee and anticipation every week!!! oh last week was agonising when kimchidrama only release epi 8 pn Sat??? wat??
June 25th, 2012 at 11:39 pm
@ptsh836,
There is JA the kickass alpha female char, and then there is KSA! This is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen her. I don’t care abt the years or the age. It’s just a no. in her case I’m female, and I admire her beauty and sexiness as much as I admire any male Korean actor hunk! That body that makes the clothes look better than any model on any Paris runway! That person who can act with every muscle in her! Thank Goodness for KSA n I do I do!

Hi I do, I do followers, i`m missing the fun here. Thanks to sunaforever for reminding me about this blog. So here I`am same as u, loving I do, I do to pieces. I adore KSA in this drama she is awesome in every sense of the word. She`s a goddess. Her transformation was brilliant, she gets even better. i know she can portray any role and she never failed to amuse me!
Lets keep supporting this drama!
June 26th, 2012 at 12:39 am
@jangerr
Looking for me? I`m still very active as KSA fan, there is no way I will not support her on this drama. I`m loving Jian, i just wish the writer will make the best out of this show.
