Another scene that I liked is earlier in the episodes when JiAn and doc went to her parents home. She without any enthusiasm participated in singing with doc, echoing the words he sang in a make-shift microphone seranading her father and guests. As JiAn later watched from inside the house how the doc interacted with her father so naturally, as if he was already his son-in-law, sparked her interest. I could almost read her mind, as if she was thinking…she could live comfortably with a man like this…he would be a strong refuge from the stress of her job…he would take good care of her and she in return would enjoy her life more. She and her father wouldn’t be estranged emotionally any longer, and she would then be a filal daughter to her parents. She hadn’t seen her father this happy in years; especially, when it involved her.
@675KDaddict: I agree, yet…I’m elaborating from a view point of humor towards TK’s response to her wanting to cook for him again. Even though he was feeling low after dealing with NaRi’s shenanigans, he managed to perk up quickly after JiAn mentioned she would cook for him instead of him eating ramen noodles. She felt confident about cooking for him again, and believed she could whip anything up since he enjoyed her cooking the last time. In her naivity and willingness to please him, she didn’t notice that TK had a hard time getting the food down because he never told her it was bad. He told her it was fine (as the writer would have it, she was oblivious to what was happening; unlike us the viewers who noticed). TK basked in the fact that she was trying to ‘impress’ him and him alone, so he didn’t tell her the truth. In retrospect, if there’s a sequel, he’d better be prepared to tactfully tell her the truth! hehehe

since this’ll end soon? what’s the next drama next to this? i saw arang and the magistrate but it’s due on aug 15? but this drama is due on the 19th, so does it mean they’ll air a diff show, so it’s like a 2-3weeks vacant, it sucks…
July 16th, 2012 at 8:14 pm
If TK is really going to the US, I would like to see them keeping in touch online daily with pics of JA tummy getting bigger…and for TK to surprise her by arriving on her expected date of delivery..Ooh how i love this drama to pieces..

I visited KSA’s fb and it stated that it’s monitored by her and King Kong Entertainment. She even sent cute photos from her iphone of her and LJW fooling around wearing animal ears! I so like the both of them…they’re some of the coolest people on this planet, and that says a lot coming from me because I’m not into being star struck and/or a groupie of any sort!
Even when I lived in Chicago where a lot of filming takes place year round, I’ve seen many actors filming on location, one sitting in his trailer with the door open watching people pass by, or in the stores, but never approached them, just smiled, respecting their privacy! I like people for who they are, not only the position or responsibility they undertake in this walk of life! But, that’s the way I roll!
Wednesday’s coming. I’m excited and kind of disappointed all at the same time!
Well, untill….I Doers!

I am looking forward to the last 2 epis. Hope it’ll be a happy ending for our OTP. I want to see BB too.

@679usa-mary:
Yes…I love those pics she had posted on her FB too. They are so cute but she didn’t have much photos taken with LJW actually. She had more photos taken with Lee Dong Wook when they were filiming “Scent of a Woman”.
Ep. 15
JiAn finally yielded and tender her resignation to Nari. What a big sacrifice she had to make. Though the ending should be a happy one, since the drama title is “Ido Ido”….:-)

I Do I Do Episodes 13 & 14
WHEN LOVE CALLS…
… Change is inevitable
As the story progresses, we find that this is more evident in Jian. From a cold and hard-driven character, we see how she has grown as a person – she now tries to better understand the people she works with. Whereas because she herself is work-driven, she used to push her staff to work their ass off which did not sit well with them, she now sees them as human who also get tired and exhausted with work. This is seen when she asked Team Leader Ma if there was ever a time when she (Jian) upsets her (Ma). Whereas, she used to treat Tae Kang as a mere mop, she now acknowledges his talent. When her design won, she did not take full credit for it but instead graciously shared it with Tae Kang. More importantly, we see her grew as a woman – from one who is career-driven, so focus with her work to the detriment of her social and personal life to a woman in love. But her opening up to her feelings did not come easy. For years, she has been used to putting aside her feelings or conveniently suppressing them, if any – for her family, for the opposite sex, even for herself – that when love unexpectedly announced itself she has a hard time coping with it. At the point when Tae Kang was asking her why in spite of everything that he was not, she still chose to tell him that he was the father of the child she’s carrying, the only words she could muster to utter was “I don’t know” and she might just be telling the truth. She really does not know how to express the feeling that is altogether so new to her. But her actions could not masked the fact that she is in love with this man-kid. Thank goodness for the likes of Dr. Eun-sung who could tell her pointblank to let go of what she truly feels, to let her feelings match her actions. Jian is a technical person who goes by logic and it takes an authority figure to shake her and let her know that as human it is not all mental. Feelings count in 100%. Remember at that time when she and Tae Kang were in the back room, when Tae Kang said he read in a book that skinship is good for the baby…only then did she welcomed the kiss. But when she has finally came to terms about her feelings, she doesn’t hesitate to initiate the move. Beyond the romantic notion, I believe that Jian’s acknowledgment and acceptance of her feelings is good for her as a person. Learning to love herself first, knowing that this is not the person that she is (Medusa) and this is not the life she wants to live, she resolves to change for herself, for the people she cares for and for the people around her. It does everyone good knowing that we are cared for and loved and to care and love in return. At her darkest moment, whom did she sought solace with but her parents, more specifically her mom. Just the sound of her mother’s voice provided her enough strength to forge on.
While feeling is to Jian, it’s professional progress for Tae Kang. While Jian needs internal workings, Tae Kang needs external workings, work-wise that is. Tae Kang started out as a high school graduate, doing counterfeit shoes for a living. Being accepted in the company by accident and working with Jian opened a lot of possibilities and opportunities for him. He is a rough gem that needs to be polished. And so an opportunity to study in the USA is presented to him. Whether he will accept that or not is yet to be seen. However, in spite of his lack of education and social upbringing, Tae Kang has proven himself not wanting at all. He is street-smart tempered with the right attitude. He is a feeling kind of a person, easily open ups to emotions whether he understands or not. In fact, between him and Eun-sung, Tae Kang is more acutely sensitive to Jian’s needs. He has that uncanny sense to perceive what Jian is needing at the moment and therefore can precisely meet her needs.
…. Skinship is a must
When two people love it is a magnetic explosion. There is always a feeling of connectedness with that person whether physically, mentally or emotionally. That’s why the thought of that person lingers in your mind. The smallest gesture can make your heart soars with delight or sinks with pain. There’s the desire to wrap that person in your arms, back hugs and front hugs, whatever and ….yes, the kiss.
There are various kisses in Koreandramaland. There’s the Barbie and Ken kiss or the wooden kiss. You know, when you put the two together to kiss…nothing moves! Just the camera that goes round and round trying to cast a spell on you but fails and instead just makes you dizzy with all that merry-go-round act. Or the erase your face kiss. Just as it implies, the guy kisses the girl brutishly in an effort to come out as manly as possible, rubbing and forcing his lips on her desperately trying to make it look it is done passionately but giving the opposite effect… short of erasing her face! Tae Kang took his kisses to a different level. If the first kiss was tentative and calculating, this time it is more expressive and meaningful. The first time Tae Kang kissed Jian, he did so with caution, testing how she would react. In that first kiss, we find that 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. This time, it is steeped with subtle passion and tenderness. Tae Kang, hardly restraining the burning intensity of his feelings fueled by the thought that Jian loves him, too, kisses Jian with sensitivity. He starts off with a soft kiss on her lips, very gently. Quietly attuned to her responses, he moves in to meet her kisses this time deeper and more intense yet maintaining still a degree of sensitivity to her needs. The kiss is not all his or hers but theirs shared with the same passion and tenderness. This is the kind of kiss that would elicits the “ooohs” and the “aaahs” from the audience. The giggly feeling that only love can bring.
…Every little things matters
Because you care for that person, little details matter. Knowing fully well that he might not be around to take care of Jian’s needs, Tae Kang makes an extra effort to handle the little things – a place for her to take her nap, someone has to cook her favorite pig feet even to the extend of enlisting the assistance of his ‘rival’ Eun-sung. I’m so glad that Tae Kang finds Eun-sung as the capable person to look after Jian when he is gone. Contrary to others’ perception of him, I find Eun-sung the next person worthy of Jian.
…Decisions have to be made
Reality bites big time. When confronted with the fact that Tae Kang’s career move hangs by the thread and this thread is connected to her decision to stay or to resign, Jian finds herself in a quandary. When love is at stake, when does one draw the line between personal and work? Time is of the essence. Decision has to be made.
Tae Kang is not spared either. The desire to go to improve himself or to stay with the people who matter most cut into him. But decision has to be made.
The Tae Kang’s Dilemma
Logic dictates that it is wise for Tae Kang to grab the opportunity to go to the USA and learn. There are many pluses to gain if he does. He will tremendously gain from the experience career-wise and personality-wise. We can go on with the list of pros if he does go. But there are things that cannot be postponed nor replaced. In my mind, what is of the utmost importance at the moment is being with Jian. Sharing the joys and pains of pregnancy with Jian is an experience that will come only once. More so being there at the moment of birth of the child that both took responsibility of. This being the first time for both of them makes it more poignant. I feel that Tae Kang has to experience this first time which may not be recaptured again even if there will come a time when a second baby comes. There is just something ‘magical’ (for the lack of term) about first time. So, I believe, Tae Kang has to stay at least for the time being. Now that Jian has accepted Tae Kang as a partner at work when she gave him credit for their winning design, perhaps, it would be sensible if she could also see him as a prospective partner in life deserving to share this significant moment of her life together.

A little birdie told me that Jian will leave Jinny Kim therefore she’s free to go to US with our boy…hehehehehehe….can dream right? then they will be together and see Ankle grow up well and happy!!

@683 mtoenlob
Love your analysis of ep 13 & 14, especially the part on the kisses! Hehe! Anyway TK’s dilemma is what is bugging me too. I know the importance and significance of the US trip for TK but like you, I think there are things that can’t be postponed or replaced, and JA’s pregnancy is one of them, a BIG one at that. Not only is it going to be first one, it has a high probability of being the last one too!

Mtoenlob, lovely analysis. Thanks for sharing.
Here’s the link to see the preview of episode 15.
It buffers a lot the first time round but if you click
on the replay button, it won’t buffer.
Our JA/TK couple is real cute and adorable – in their
couple outfits.

Doc is more suitable to Ji An. Doc loves and accepts her for who she is and for what she is unable to give him later… maybe a child. Doc even accepts her unborn child. truthfully i like both lead for Ji An. so whoever Ji An chooses i am at peace with it.
why such poor ratings??? i luv the story. but i dont like Ms. VP though. she doesnt have the chemistry with the other characters and she is not fitting to her role. i blv she ruined the ratings. grrrr….

My head says, “Go to America and learn from the best!” My heart says, “Stay in SK with JA. Be by her side in this most precious and beautiful moment of your lives!” Let’s see which one our writer-nim wants to reach…

LMBO You have summed up a kiss that i DESPISE in koreandramaland 2 well. ^^ Your analysis was wonderful especially about TK and Ji-An kiss. It’s kisses like this that really gets me going, that’s why i enjoy KSA dramas because i know she won’t fail me when it comes to kiss scenes, if your a City Haller like me , i would love to read your analysis on KSA nad CSW kiss scenes.

Went to official site of MBC accessed in this forum. Was clicking on photos from drama scene and found a picture of grandpa Park holding a beautiful infant while JiAn looked on!

@ true2u & mtoenlob
Yes, yes, yes! Please analyse KSA and CSW kisses in City Hall!
July 18th, 2012 at 10:28 am
Yes mtoenlob, do analyse KSA’s & CSW’s kisses in City Hall…althouth I think you may have done so in the CH forum. You are a regular there as well . Your analysis of PTK’s and JA’s kisses were so good that I shared it with my kdrama frenz…heheheehe…but I believe a repeat of CH’s kisses would “excite” a lot of KSA’s fans here…as that was the champion of all kisses known as THE KISS..hahahaha….I am not as eloquent as you but my 2 cents worth in comparison of the two kisses (IDID vs CH). IDID’s kisses are tender and sweet…with a bit of hesitation from both parties…like an exploratory kiss, you know what I mean…but for CH, it was between two consenting adults and the passion and fire were too evident in THE KISS..this is the one in the car for those who can’t remember…the rest of the show’s kisses were more casual and lovey dovey type of kisses between a couple (probably a married couple of many years)…hahahha…now you know why CH was so raved about. I still believe KSA and CSW pairing was the best ever in kdramaland….such natural chemistry that you can’t find easily…and it also says one thing…KSA flourishes in the presence of an older man…so she must and must try to find a suitable pairing in her next project (not to say she’s not good with LJW…they are so cute!!!). Hey, maybe another heart stopping great rom-com with CSW again (DREAMING……)

In another desperate move to get rid of Jian in compliance to the malicious manipulation of Madam Jang, Nari has targeted Jian where it will hurt the most, her achilles heel – - her work. Nari resorted to emotional blackmail…resign from work and save Tae Kang. Knowing fully well that Tae Kang’s career move hangs by the thread and this thread is connected to her decision to stay or to resign, Jian finds herself in a quandary. The company is rife with different reactions to her announcement of being a single mom. While others hailed her as the new heroine of a modern woman, others frown on her boldness and considered her act as dishonorable and shameful. Top management has made known their displeasure. How much more if the person who fathered her child is an employee of the company who is being groomed to become the next best designer by way of a study grant in the USA. It’s adding fuel to the fire. Will she take the path laid out to her by Nari or will she take the road less traveled?
Hwang Jian is a woman of resolute character, iron-willed, decisive and strong-minded to the point of stubbornness. She will not buckle down at any adversary, real or imagined. Armed with skills and determination, she has successfully worked her way to the top of her game. She is a top notch designer. This being said, if ever she decides to go, I see Hwang Jian doing it with aplomb and chutzpah – call for a press release, with TV coverage, walk into the room, dressed to the nines, smiling her best, in-armed with Tae Kang…… with imaginary bubble – “This is me, Hwang Jian, beautiful, successful, single, pregnant, in love and loved by the most adorable man in town!” Delicious! Eat your heart out, Yeom Nari.
On a serious note, with her skill and talent, Jian can make it outside of her present company. For sure there will be other companies who are interested to take her in. Even Madam Jang acknowledged the fact that Jian single-handedly swing the company to its present prestigious status. If she can make it there… she can make it anywhere. With Tae Kang and his father on board, it will be a dream team.

@true2u, jangerr and sunahforever
Shall I take on this assignment? I’m a true blue CityHaller. You bet I would! (“,) Have to watch it again though, to get the feel of it. Wonder why I didn’t do that back then?
Yes, sunahforever, CSW and KSA tandem is the best for me. Our dear KSA has that unique quality of making great chemistry with all her partners. More so with CSW. Her tandem with him stands out for me – electrifying chemistry, you could almost see sparks flying out of your computer. Watching them sizzle and setting the screen on fire with their magnetic presence leaves me breathless. Who would forget that car scene where the first kiss happened? I agree with you…that is THE KISS! I would love to see them collaborate on a new drama or movie.
@sulyn
Thank you. (“,)
July 18th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
in ep 13 a PRES. PARK was mentioned… maybe the major stockholder of the company is Tae Kang’s mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then she will threaten to pull out her stocks unless the CEO position will be given to Ji An!!!
July 18th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
@ sunahforever, mtoenlob
That’s our gal, ain’t she? There are many good actresses around but rare are the ones who has this incredible ability to bring out the best in their co-star as our KSA. Look what she’s done for Binnie, Wookie, etc and now Woonie. But I have to agree with you her best co-star to date is CSW! They were, to say the least, explosive together! Their chemistry is off the charts, well in the stratospheric level!!! It may be age factor, CSW being older than her. But I think it’s more than that. I think CSW has this maturity and gravita about him which enabled him to be able to act so comfortably with KSA. The rest were probably either a little in awe of her or trying to level up to her in terms of their acting skills, imo. But that’s not to say that they’ve not done well. On the contrary, they did marvelously. It’s just that there’s still this perceptible difference.
July 18th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
mtoenlob – the challenge is on…please watch CH again and tell us your views…think it is episode 13…hahahaha…or 14…can’t be wrong on either as have watched it countless time…
July 18th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
@mtoelob: I like your style. Very well put!
