Hey guys!
KSA fan here in the Caribbean! I watched episode 8 and rewatched it and loved the part where HJA gave PTK a ride to the police station. And his outbursts after he got there had me cracking up! I think Doc needs to give it a rest and leave HJA alone. I agree with you guys on that Ji An is hiding her feelings because of Tae Kang’s immaturity. I also hope he can get it together to be there to really support his child an also his woman (Ji An). I haven’t watched episodes 9-10 as yet and staying current by reading recaps. The kiss looks very very romantic but I don’t like the fact that he ran out right after. But in all am rooting got Team Park Tae Kang! Also, for more loving romantic scenes between himself and his leading lady.

Would JA behave this way if TK n his father r affluent? That scene where JA imagines the two men taking over her apt n relieving her of her shoe collection for sale makes me wonder if she is showing classic signs of discrimination of the poor in marriage consideration that we’ve seen many times in KD before. As a matter of fact, it happens in KD Every time there is a class difference btwn the 2 sides, doesn’t it?
I just hope Doc doesn’t purposefully n actively do anything to sabotage the chances btwn JA n TK. But if TK is really going to the U.S. w Jay/Jake, then……..

I start watching this drama and like it especially KSA acting. She is so beautiful in this drama.

@501 Seanshine
Welcome to this thread! So glad to have one more fan here to share about this drama. Anyway, I’m with you in hoping that TK will be there with JA during her pregnancy and childbirth and beyond. He’ll be such a sweet and supportive partner so it’ll be a shame without him around! Besides I’m sure he’ll want to be there for both JA and the baby, more so when he knows it’s his! As for the opportunity Jake is offering him by taking him to US, I believe he can be as great a designer without taking that route. I mean, with JA as his mentor he can achieve that and more!
I was also disturbed by TK running off after that kiss, sweet that it may be. It seemed a rather strange thing to do… But after thinking about it, maybe that kiss was just for him to confirm his and her feelings for each other and having done so, he was happy and satisfied? Or does he think it’s a gentlemanly thing to do, not to expect more? Or is it he’s afraid he’ll want more? Hehe!

Hi Jangerr….oh dear, the kiss scene is so sweet…I nearly fainted with emotions!! The part before the kiss, I could hear my heartbeat and I was like at the edge of my seat, in case the Doc Bad Timing rings the bell and…..I would have killed the writer….
Ok, my 2 cents worth abt TK running away after the kiss. Yes, he has just confirmed her feelings for him…how not to..he gave her so much time to run away from him…his move was gentle and slow and he was too shocked that there were totally no resistance from this strong and “mean to him” woman whom he adores by the way, baby or no baby! After the lingering kiss…knowing TK who is so considerate and nice to JA, would not expect more, in her condition that is (ahem!!!). I guessed he also needs to get out of there before his raging hormones get the better of him, hahaha…it has happened before but with the excuse of alcohol but now there’s totally no excuse….both blinded by LOVE…bliss….and I am biting my nails for the next episodes!!!

@KDaddict: You are so right on about class discrimination in KD dramas! I can see that HJA is biased like the other chaebol families in that regard. As a matter of fact, PTK is more mature and a GENTLEMAN compared to that narcisistic, snobish, non-gallant (I could go on) ready to do the humpty dance rascal mdm. chair set up her husband’s mistress’s daughter, YNR the vp to meet. That creature was so rude and was not trying to get to know her for the person that she is with even a gram of enthusiasm. Only was ready to spend her money which he mentioned up front!
From my observation. I don’t quite see PTK lacking in responsibility so much as not being able to find his niche. It’s not like he hasn’t been working because he was working for his father. In the opening episode when he and his father went to have him removed from the family registry…all because he bought Beyonce…a motorcycle. Most guys like gadgets, especially the ones with wheels! And most guys name their wheeled gadgets and rub on them to keep them shiny and in excellent condition. A status symbol and object of convenience all in one. To me, that’s normal for guys to do. Also, I believe that given the right encouragement which he is now, finally getting from HJA who told him to show everyone that has looked down upon him, including her, what he can do, while working hard for her on the design team…FANTASTIC! I’ve been paying attention when he has the converstions with his friend, the salesman. PTK is constantly strategizing his moves with in the company as he goes along. I recall his mantra…pride in a pawn shop! hehehe In ep. 10, he has already proven in a short period of time that he is responsible, dedicated and mature. What HJA has a problem with now (in addition to hiding that he’s the baby’s father) is that he continually tries to protect and shield her hidden pregnancy at work by doing things to deter suspicions until HJA is ready to reveal it to them herself. Like covering up her retching, saying the food was spoiled (which wasn’t) knowing this would get him in trouble…he was ready to take the brunt of it all…what a gallant deterant! Personal note to HJA: immature guys don’t do things like that! I must add that the retching scene where he retched after she retched which caused others to retch…was HILARIOUS! To me, that was soooo sweet of him. Come to think of it, I don’t recall any KD dramas I’ve watched where the husband and soon to be father did anything that came close to that for his expecting spouse. Please share them if you know of any.
I, too, hope the doc doesn’t try to sabotage PTK and HJA’s relationship. I could tell that more than his ego was bruised when he saw HJA let and I emphasize ‘let’ PTK carry him from the car to her condo. Well, we’ll just wait and see what type of creature or good standing, mature man doc turns out to be.
LATER!

@usa-mary #508:
my, i can see your dedication to TK by d length of your description of his character! as for me, i would like to sum up TK with just 2 words…. ‘sweet n responsible’!
just rewind for a bit n you can see how many times TK was appalled by what he deemed as irresponsible behavior of ES…how he was forever reminding/cautioning ES about taking responsibility for d ‘good deed’ that he had done….how he should make JA happy n be a responsible father; all along not knowing that those lines should be directed to himself, of course!
it is indeed quite rare in kdramaland for such a young character to be so mature in his thinking n actions coz its normally men of ES’s age n stature who would be so…n i guess it is this very rare quality of his that is most endearing n refreshing!
remember d 2005 drama ‘wonderful life’ starring kim jae won n eugene? it was also a ‘one-nite stand n being held accountable’ kinda story but u see d hero balking n attempting to escape getting tied down to marriage coz of a child….n he was also young….but displayed such immaturity n irresponsibility towards d female lead…
as for ES….somehow he comes across more as a very intense, over-confident, emotional n overbearing kinda character than humorous like what you described in your earlier post. i think he’s d type who will love deeply n will also hurt deeply should things dun turn out perfectly… it is a highly volatile combination n any thinking female (JA included) will up n bolt when approached ES’s way…(just my opinion).
till now…no one here has directly answered my question: ‘what does ES want??’ in my previous posts. JA being pregnant with someone else’s child is not his ideal marriage partner n yet u keep seeing him getting more n more involved in her life….more than a doc friend would. so my question remains: ‘what does ES want??’
July 3rd, 2012 at 1:54 pm
@ptsh836-509,
“What does ES want??” you asked.
ES wants JA! Preferably without child, but with child if he has to take the bb in order to get JA.
July 3rd, 2012 at 2:49 pm
@KDaddict:
yes, i know this sounds simple but my brain is dying on me…
didnt ES reject JA in d first epi?? this is d only thing that perplexes me till now…why reject JA to end up falling all ovr her??
does this mean he is ready to accept JA with child, NOW??? has his ideals changed??
July 3rd, 2012 at 4:01 pm
@ptsh836,
I dont recall ES rejecting JA in 1st ep. They went on that arranged meeting, both with the INTENTION to reject the other. But during the meeting, Doc found JA so interesting, so different that at the end of that evening, he suggested that they meet fr time to time for dinner, as friends. So he already liked her after that 1st meeting.
Over time, w each successive meeting, he liked her more, n wanted to have more contacts, more dealings w her, quite counter to his determination to stay single n unentangled.
Then her father stepped in, to robe him in as their son-i-l. He willingly played along, becos that’d robe JA in some more, which was what he wanted.
Then she told him she was pregnant, which threw him off. He took a bit of time to ponder this impossible situation, but seemed to be considering adopting the bb, since it is a required condition to marrying JA. That was in the last ep.
All thru his coming to terms w his own emotions, he wants JA. No?
July 3rd, 2012 at 4:10 pm
@KDaddict:
i was referring specifically to d meeting with their parents whereby ES went down on his knees n said he’s no longer considering marriage with JA…this took place after JA confessed about being pregnant.
he had taken this preggie news badly at first…but now he’s not very affected by it anymore, i think!

@510/512-KDaddict: I totally agree!
July 4th, 2012 at 3:02 am
One other thing I noticed about HJA since she became pregnant. She’s beginning to smile more than usual. Ha! She hardly smiled at all…more like a hint or barely there smile!
Eppy 11….ANTICIPATION! hehehe
Until…….

I Do I Do Episode 10
The die is cast. Fate is sealed with a kiss. Three lives are forever changed.
For Jian, accustomed to a life of aloneness and independence is now faced with a situation that would challenge both her personal life and her career. She is now stepping into a new path, strewn with uncertainties and anxieties. This is something she has not ventured into before and the newness of it overwhelms her. But because she is a woman who will not buckle down she has resolved to take on the challenge, armed with a steadfast determination, the same attitude that has brought her to the top of her game. And the kiss has brought a new dimension to her existence. The cold Medusa is melting her ice as far as Tae Kang is concerned. If she isn’t, do you think Tae Kang would have survived that kiss? But no resistance came from her. And so the kiss.
For Tae Kang, this is a feat worth risking. And kiss he did. But he only did so when he saw the “signs” that he matters to her….the concrete indication that he has relevance in her life – the drawings she made – her feet next to his, his sleeping face. The drawings prompted him to move in for a kiss. But even then, he moved in with caution. Even when he held her face in his hands, he stalled for a moment, somehow waiting for her to stop him but she didn’t. And so the kiss.
At last, love has settled in and his heart is bursting with bliss. Tae Kang is in love! Jian, however, remained uncertain. She clearly has feelings for Tae Kang but for some reasons is holding back.
Many would have wished that the kiss could have been more passionate. Kim Sun Ah is known not to hold back when it comes to kisses. I can’t say the same for Lee Jang Woo for I haven’t seen any of his works. However, I think the kiss was just right…tender and sweet yet full of emotion. As I said before timing is everything. At this point, both are just at the verge of discovering and exploring the feeling that both have been restraining. Surely, this wouldn’t be the first and the last of it. By then, we hope to see a kiss (or kisses) worthy of Kim Sun Ah’s caliber. (“,)
For Eun Sung, in spite of his good intentions and his love for Jian, he will forever mark the day he saw Tae Kang carrying Jian in his arms and will it to oblivion. Good thing he didn’t see the kiss otherwise it will mark his death.

@509ptsh836: I totally agree with you about ES. He seems nice and all, but it doesn’t mean he’s right for HJA. Men in his profession are well known for having their wives at home. Especially, when they become mothers. I see HJA as the type of woman who needs to work with baby in tow. If she gets married, it has to be to a man with like passions towards creativity.
Not too many women would like to work with their husbands and some barely can stand them in the same house for a few hours. But HJA strikes me as a woman who could work with her husband; one who shares her like passion for design or some related area of it. She needs someone who can understand that side of her, as well as, reinforce when its time for her to rest.

@517mtoenlob: It’s good to see you amongst the other CityHallers!
Your depiction is so captivating that I was glued to every word and didn’t want to stop! Wow…everyone’s comments are so profound and on point!
Just watched ep. 11 in the RAW! I’m so looking forward to the English subs because Mdm. Chair has created kaos…like most chaobol family matriarch’s do! I’ll wait for the subs before I go any further. But, I must add that ep. 12 is really going to be something. SHOW DOWN TIME for the shoe designs. HJA (her dress is GORGEOUS) and PTK (so suave and handsome) are walking in sync with complete confidence on their way to present their shoe design. Him carrying the exquisitely decorated box containing the shoes! I almost can’t wait!
Until everyone…

I wonder why too. This drama is getting better. Koreans are wild about KSA’s hairstyle and fashion sense and they also praised her acting skills, so what went wrong? Why the low rating? Perhaps the elderly there do not like such plots of pregnancy before marriage or such a relationship. But I do enjoy it. Love the scene of Jian staring at TK when he was asleep and wished that “ankle” would be as good looking as his dad. Looking forward to tonight’s episode. Would Jian and TK’s team win?
July 5th, 2012 at 12:48 pm
@shoshlev n sulyn:
the ratings: we, KSA lovers are waxing lyrical ovr her superb acting, looks n her gorgeous outfits not forgetting her sexy shoes but i read somewhere viewers are finding dis drama a lil’ too slow n lethargic to their liking…
somehow it takes other viewers’ opinions to open our eyes to some of the defects of dis drama…slow build-up of characters, storyline etc is driving viewers away…its already epi 11 n not many major events have taken place ….even TK not knowing abt his child has been dragged thus far…
anyway…d writer has to spice up a bit of d somewhat predictable storyline…add some kinda suspense or anything to get things going at full speed…we’ve only 4 epis to go after 2nite n TK has not gained much ground with JA as yet! save for d delicious, tender kiss they shared…(not counting d babe, of course!)
ive not yet viewed epi 11 but from stills available on weibo….JA looks absolutely yummy in dat white strapless dress! cant wait for kimchidrama to upload epi 11 n 12!
July 5th, 2012 at 3:06 pm
In Episode 11 I loved when she asked him from where suddenly the confidence he got, and he indicated the intention for a kiss on the lips was among them, I know it’s written in a script, but still it is sweet it comes out from “mouth \ lips” of his.
July 5th, 2012 at 3:11 pm
Lee Jang Woo is super CUTE in this drama. A great actor. Makes me laugh alot. ha ha ha ha ha
