I swear So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin were trying to keep their laughter in while they deliver their lines to each other. Their eyes and their grins give you the hint.~~Ahahaha!
The way Gong Sil is clingy to CEO Joo even if she'd just met him is so natural--it doesn't seem forced to make them a pair. He mistakes it for attraction but then she just wants to be with him so she can literally sleep. Haha! GHJ so adorable.
High school ghost picture solved. Screaming for more~!

I'm glad they didn't prolong the amnesia part and thank goodness our prince recognizes which amulet is fake and which one is genuine! And he doesn't even know that girl is Hee Joo who's plotting to get him. Fail, evil twin, FAIL.
I liked it that Mrs. Go was actually telling Joong Won how to restore his memories while he's just interested in buying out the contract she has with Gong Shil. It was a big push for his realization. Ah well I guess she's not as bad as she looks. I find the twins more unsettling than her.

There was one curious part at the coffee shop where a man was talking to the coffee ghost and apparently knows Gong Shil but doesn't know if she'd recognize him--I'm looking forward to this 'cause it may have something to do with her accident and why she sees ghosts after it.

Whew. I felt relieved that his confession is true! Now that that's settled with another 'kissorcism' XD, I wonder how Joong Won will fare after he finds out what his abuji has in the envelope.
I can't conclude that she's not her twin (yet)...after all L turned into SJS so...who knows...

I was worrying Master's Sun will have a lull in the middle but this episode continues to show the big changes in Joong Won.
While keeping his sarcastic (but charming) self, he's now more considerate of what Gong Shil is going through, cannot stop worrying about her and even though he acknowledges the fact that he gets 'dragged' into her gloomy world, he realizes he can't leave her alone.
And now while she's so clueless about his building secret feelings, he's practically telling her he's a man and he gets attracted too. But the words are wittily masked in their dialogue, I can't help but fascinate about their interaction.
Case of the Creepy Doll, closed. With tears and peace. Kids always get to me. I just can't. T_T And then in the end, I let out a long scream~~no ghosts; it's just how they looked at each other when she touched his face and his reply to her gesture.

Joong Won showed a great improvement here. And to think he couldn't hide his revulsion for Gong Shil before but now he offers his hand to make her not see and walk away, then following her back to the building and THEN some more!
'But then sajangnim, the fact that you're coming with me even though you don't see it, that's called trust.'
I already like Gong Shil for her innocence and honesty and loved her more here because her good intentions draw him to her. I find it hilarious that he tries to shake it off and yet he can't help but fall.

I stopped picking which episode is the best. Who knows, the future episodes might just be as explosive and mind-boggling or even more so.
Never have I been sucked into a drama this addictingly good. Yoochun outdoes himself and impersonates Tae Yong through Lee Gak again, only this time he 'wakes up' from his coma.
The highest emotional point: Bak Ha desperately embracing Lee Gak when she sees him fading away from her. The way her expression turned from happiness to anxiety was heart-wrenching and had me in tears. T_T
Episode 15 had well-mixed plot developments happening one after the other. I am happy to see the trio back in action while not losing their natural humor in the process. Even CEO Jang and the company story line ties up neatly with Se Na and Tae Mu's downfall.
I was clapping the moment Se Na got served--with TWO glasses of water on her face no less while Tae Mu earns a hard-slap from dad and the eerie humiliation at the end. DOWN and HARD, I say--I hope they get what they deserve at the end.
TEN! Give me more!

[Side note: Heh. You can rate an episode even BEFORE it's aired. Before the reviews were in, Ep 7 already had a 1.0 rating--SMH, some people.]
Why am I making an episode review again? Oh yeah. I got my mind effed last night. A birth secret cliche with an extra-twist? Never saw it coming. The parallels are becoming clearer now. Hopefully Lee Gak can discover things naturally, just as the dynamics of his romance with Bak Ha is unfolding naturally. C,mon Princey, you play around with her all day and then at the end of the day, you come at Sena's beck and call?? Wake up, boy!
I know the trio is being used for comic relief but I had hoped for more substance that came along with the humor (or maybe I really need those subs). They contributed nicely in Ep 1 where they searched for clues to the Crown Princess' murder--where are those scenes now?
Scenes with Tae Mu and Se Na are glaring now and are impossible to ignore. Well, ok fine, I get it's necessary for conflict and resolution. Tae Mu for Tae Yong and Se Na for Lee Gak and Bak Ha. But oh oh oh~~these four can get so complicated...

He totally fell for her and makes a conscious effort to hide it. The expression on his face when he gripped the sun amulet in his fist made my heart thump heavier...and kind of left a deeper impression than the kiss did.
I think so because the necklace would be something she can trace back to his feelings whereas the kiss--he played safe and knew he wouldn't get caught.
They joy of seeing them finally become aware of each other's feelings...I'd love to see that.

Professor Kim Do Han is caught in a very tricky situation where one wrong move can ruin his career and this is all because the directors managed to take Park Si On's bypass on protocol as an opportunity to turn the tables on them.
Now the pediatric dept. has to take on a difficult task of operating on a premature baby with a 20% chance of success and whether or not it will succeed, the department will still take the rap for taking a patient without permission.
And what a way to end an episode. What are they going to do about the baby?! O_O

I can't describe what I feel right now for that poor little girl. :( It's so inhumane, what they did to her. Her wrists had red marks from what seemed to be shackles. Her neck was bruised, and her navel had an abscess. She acts and talks like the dogs that she grew up with. Worst part is she's treated like an animal. T___T
I can't understand Prof KDH anymore. He snaps at everything that Si On does and he can't stand his mere presence that he just doesn't deal with him, doesn't talk or reason with him and just tells him 'Daga'.
Having had an autistic brother he should have a wider berth for patience and understanding, especially so because they're pediatricians; their patients can't tell them what's wrong with themselves, they express how they feel in their own language.
It's like what Dr. Cha Yoonseo said. 'have you ever had a humane conversation with Park Si On? Si On even tries to communicate with animals. But you, professor, couldn't even communicate with humans.'

Seeing how everything is laid in place at the very first episode just pulls me in. Tumbling starts out with a very simple and often-used premise, that turns out to be more complicated than it seems: a yanki boy likes the girl transfer student and wants to impress her. Voila! It hits two birds with one stone: get more credits by joining a club that the girl you like likes.
But Wataru quickly learns that it's not all roses--and something tells me this is going to be the start of a long and hard ascent to winning the sport.
Yamamoto Yusuke's character here is a 180 degrees opposite that of Tamaki in Ouran or Saejima in GTO (and even nowhere near Taiki, the 'Aura Boy' in Hana Kimi) but then when he is mesmerized by Maki, you can still see that bit of resemblance.
Akira as Kashiwagi sensei--the total opposite to Eikichi (GTO remake).

I have to say it drew me in. Just when I thought I have the story figured out, new questions pop up and the details are intriguing. The writer is very smart. He makes you think about what happens next--he keeps you guessing. Those antics are becoming less and less, which I think is necessary as they have to show the Joseon 4's adaptation to the modern world.
I think the reason why we don't get to see Joseon anymore is that Lee Gak is clinging to his reincarnation theory and the fact that the modern counterpart of the Crown Princess is still alive and thus he has better chances continuing their love in the modern era than in Joseon where the Seja-bin is already dead.
I want to call Episode 6 as Bak Ha's Episode --because at the end, she owned it. After recovering her traumatic memories, she finally musters a strong resolve to tell Se Na straight to her face that she agrees to have nothing to do with her. The nerve of that woman slapping Bak Ha! Oooh my blood pressure! Let me slap her back too!
The way Lee Gak looked at Bak Ha's retreating back I really have this feeling that it dawned on him who Bak Ha's Joseon counterpart was!
Funniest part: Lee Gak trying to zoom out an LCD TV's screen using BOTH PALMS.
New puzzle: Who is CEO Jang's daughter?

The ending upstaged every sweet little thing Joong Won did at the earlier part of the episode. Gawd, just when he was making an effort to read and sing for a ghost (SJS' facial expression and shoulder dance--so epic XD)!
Please tell me they're just teasing us and he's just in a transition phase...probably unconscious at the operating table just like that coma lady in the previous episode! ~_~
It can't be, right? Because there are still important things hanging without a resolution. Like Hanna and Hee Joo, and surely he must return to Gong Shil, right? Right? O___O Aww, it's killing me!

By this time I thought I would have gotten used to the ghosts, but it seems there's one or two that still gets to me. -_-# One of those cuties can see ghosts and the 'Chuckie in drag' doll tells me it's something EVIL. *cue evil laugh*
I like it this time Jong Won and Gong Shil are working together, even if he had obvious reasons, he actually went there with a slight feeling of being worried about her.
The case of the green rose is solved, (D.O is that you?~~oh...it's just the hair and lips kekeke)and we now know that there's a hint that Hee Joo or some strong ghost is likely to use Gong Shil to 'come back'.
Kang Woo, I still don't get where to put you. You're like that deputy director in Good Doctor, mysterious and a bit dangerous...

Although I'm glad the baby patient case turned out well, I am beginning to be frustrated by the way the writer is dumping the bad stuff over.
I can't imagine how people like Ped Chief Go who goes around thinking of his own sorry ass and maliciously suggesting to moms of ped patients to file a petition for the removal of Si On can still be called a professional doctor! How can you laugh at your surgeons who are trying to save a life! Even Dr. Kim Jae Joon was appalled by his reaction and the Deputy Chief seemed to reflect on his own action after that.
Props to Moon Chae Won for almost making me believe she's a real doctor by the way she interacts with her residents and treats her patients. What her character is doing is very difficult in real life. I'd hate to see her patient die on her first major surgical operation.
I hope they treat Si On better in the next episodes, seeing him so down this way is so depressing.
