More of my favourite things, like I said.

SPOILERS. And Joong Ki sings the OST for his own drama! 







This drama is wrecking my emotions; I just finished episode 16. First off, Jae Hee reminds me of DT!Hermione, because she has the cheek to feel heartbroken when it finally hits her that maybe Maru is really completely done with her and now loves Eun Gi. What do you expect, woman! You betray someone, step on his love and devotion multiple times, and expect him to stay in love with you forever? Bitch extraordinaire!

Maru is driving me insane with his skewed logic of staying happy within this bubble of happiness that is Eun Gi's memory loss. It's quite heartbreaking actually that he's so happy. While his friend Jae Gil mirrors my frustration about Maru's stupid insistence not to get medical help pronto. Maru says he won't die, he'll just settle all the more urgent things happening first (like helping Eun Gi regain her footing in the company) --- but we all know that this is kdrama's way of dangling tragedy over our heads so that we all chew our nails in fear of Maru's death and the destruction of the OTP.

Eun Gi is back. OMG. Being the awesome lady she is, she digs around and finally regains her memory, and sort of crumbles when she realizes the bigger picture of Maru and Jae Hee, and how she's like a little thorn in this crazy, long saga. But all of this happens alone. She then awesomely composes herself, pretends nothing has changed and gathers her steely resolve. So that Maru has no idea the old, driven, ambitious Eun Gi is back.

And so OMGGGGG, things are kind of happening in reverse now. Maru is all happy and sincere in his love while Eun Gi is plotting the way to get back up on top; it used to be Eun Gi being played by Maru when he was attempting revenge on Jae Hee. It's deliberate drama technique, but very nice nonetheless.

Hoping for a good ending is futile, I think.
