Lie To Me: Episode 12 Open Thread
by javabeans
EPISODE 12 WEECAP
At the Jeju resort, Jae-bum arrives to declare himself lost without So-ran, who’s moved by his admission that her departure sparked suicidal thoughts. Peas in a pod, these two. They think they’re Ike and Tina, but they’re really Spencer and Heidi.
Lurky Yoon-ju calls Ah-jung for a drink and tells her all about why she broke up with Ki-joon the first time and asks if Ah-jung knows what it feels like to have your first love stolen from you by another woman. Oh god, are they really going this route to make Ah-jung feel bad? Okay then.
Ki-joon comes clean about his marriage lie (again) to Chairman Chen, only this time he believes him. Chen walks out of the deal and starts chatting up Great Hotel instead, and this is our Big Conflict for the rest of the hour. Yeah, it’s just as exciting as it sounds.
In cuter news, Ki-joon and Ah-jung start dating like a real couple and he calls them a needle and thread, which might be a cuter metaphor if one of those things weren’t stabby. They do coupley things that go duly noted by a sulky Sang-hee and a bitter Yoon-ju, but at least the former is more mature than the latter and tells her to Let. Go. Already. Dammit. So the older brother got the brains, and the younger brother got the balls?
Ki-joon finally musters the wherewithal to cut ties with Yoon-ju, explaining things in terms of Fate. Because of Fate, he loved someone he shouldn’t have loved, and had to break up with someone he couldn’t bear to break up with. So Fate is doing shit you don’t like? He tells Yoon-ju it’s her turn (to obey Fate, or do shit she doesn’t like, same diff), and declares that he loves Ah-jung. Ooh! And also, errr what? This couple is totally trying to sell the love angle, although I’m only seeing lust. Not that lust is bad. Kang Ji-hwan and lust? I am there. It’s just…let’s call it what it is, shall we?
Ki-joon surprises Ah-jung at home with a meet-the-dad ambush, which are two terms you’d think he’d be wary of putting together. Dad sizes up the boyfriend in the traditional Korean way: Drinky duel! Shots, glasses, and bowls of soju later, both men pass out and then insist they won in the morning.
Now it’s Aunt’s turn to change her mind (again) and push Ki-joon towards Yoon-ju, ’cause conveniently, her congressman stepdad happens to be chummy with Chairman Chen, and they need his association to save the hotel. Aunt is totally giving me whiplash — I like Yoon-ju! You can’t marry her! Wait, never mind! I’m not telling you to marry, just get in good with her! This is business, not personal!
The stress of hearbreak sends Yoon-ju to the hospital, because this writer has been watching way too much Sam-soon and thinks this is adequate conflict. Aunt orders Ki-joon to her bedside, and he goes, but she thinks he doesn’t, and gets all pissy.
Ah-jung is put in charge of a tourism event/traditional cultural performance which is selling poorly, then all of a sudden sold out. She’s proud of herself until she sees Ki-joon sitting there in a mostly-empty theater, and guesses he intervened. Bicker, bicker, make up.
Aunt gives Ki-joon one last chance to get in good with Yoon-ju’s stepdad and sets up a dinner. Ah-jung’s feeling crappy because her boss has found out about her marriage lie and warns her not to mess up again. So Ki-joon’s big decision: Business or love? Ah-jung or Yoon-ju?
We’re not really surprised by his choice, are we?

Goong was in 2006. :) Coffee Prince is more recent (if you can still call it that) since it was in 2007.
I agree with Aiden that YEH hasn't made anything great since CP. I even watched her most recent movie, My Black Mini Dress, and thought it was horrible.
Note that I am not criticizing her acting, which I didn't think was bad when she started, and which has steadily improved. But the dramas and movies she chooses.. oof.
Lucky her though, I believe she's still the highest paid Korean actress and still reigns as a CF queen -- all due to Coffee Prince. Because no matter how bad the drama, she still manages to pull in solid ratings, which is what really matters to the networks.

I totally agree with you! CP was her last saviour, everything after that was..well ..sortofacceptable?
And I also agree with you about My Black Mini Dress, it was one of the most anticipated movie on my to-watch list, and it was so disappointing! Much as I love YEH, I hated her character, I just couldn't connect with her. I have to blame the scriptwriter & director, story had no meaning, characters were annoying than appealing, awkward resolution in the end, it so horrible I can go on and on!
Omg can't believe YEH's recent projects is wasting her away T__T

June 14, 2011 at 10:08 PM
Let's face it, unless you were/are a pre-teen girl, "GOONG" wasn't that good either.
"CP" is the only quality drama that YEH has done and not surprisingly, her acting was the best in "CP" (really helps to have a great script as well as a good PD who got the best out of YEH).
Have to say, YEH's acting in "LTM" hasn't been that great either (and I've liked YEH since her "X-Man" days).
While loyalty is admirable, it was a mistake for YEH to have been loyal to a production company that couldn't provide her with at least a decent script (I'm lowering the bar from good, since good scripts are hard to come by).
Yeah, I started to watch "My Black Mini Dress", but it was simply AWFUL (good to hear I didn't miss anything by stopping).
I don't know, maybe YEH needs to get different management; one that is more adept at picking quality projects.
She can't ride the positive lift from "CP" forever; she's going to need another hit soon.

June 15, 2011 at 12:01 AM
My understanding is that YEH has been under management by The House Company since September, 2008, and YEH owns that management company. This is just a guess, but I think YEH has final say on choosing her projects and unfortunately, no one in the management company can stop her bad choices.
Aidan
June 15, 2011 at 4:37 AM
Agreed. I watched Goong a couple years after all the hype because I didn't want to expect too much out of it. It was just okay. Not great.
And she really can't ride CP forever, people are going to start realizing that her shows aren't that great.
I don't think her acting is terrible it's the whole storyline and cliche lines that suck

Btw, instead of watching "MBMD", I highly recommend the 2003 film "Singles" starring Jang Jin-young (who was totally awesome in it).

@ Koala
Have you visited DB LTM open thread lately? There are so many antis and haters in that thread expressing how they hate and yadayadayada. The keep on bashing and ranting about the show for its flaws (which EVERYONE already knows) like a broken tape recorder. I know that the thread is to rant and rave but its more like the thread is for the haters to congregate to make fun of LTM. Even the weecapers are sarcastic and sometimes down right insulting when they weecap each epsiodes. It really dampen my mood whenever I go and show my support for the show. I know everyone is entitled to say their opinion but sometimes its just too much
@ Koala
wish the weecapers over at DB had just dropped the show instead of wecapping it in such a disrespecful way. I clearly know they have the right to express their feelings, but one thing wrong with that is how it influences those who don’t have a mind of their own. So, theey fall in line and criticize a show that isn’t even the worst show out there. The show clearly has issues, but I have never watched a show or read a novel to experience real life. I want to feel good in a silly and fun way and LTM gives that to me. If you don’t like it, don’t watch and simply keep your negative opinions to yourself, that’s what I believe. It trully breaks my heart to read DB weecap of LTM and the comments that follows. They don’t realize how they influence others. I respect DB for their work, but I wish they will refrain from continuing with works they clearly have no interest in and leave it for those who will give it the heart it deserves.
@ Koala
I don’t visit DB site anymore even when they started an open thread. The thing I don’t understand is why people hate watching LTM and yet they spend time watching it, just to criticize it, or bashing YEH? I’m for one who if I don’t like a particular drama, I don’t even waste my time watching it and then spend effortless hours bashing it. Don’t these ppl has something better to do?
@ Koala
exactly.. i used to enjoy reading their past drama recaps.. but after all the bash-LTM-weecaps.. it’s kinda painful to go visit that site anymore.. it’s as if it’s only catering to LTM-haters..since they were kind enough to ‘consider’ LTM fans by not completely ‘dropping’ it.. then they should have been considerate ‘enough’ to write objectively.. since it is read by pro&anti LTM…if a first time drama viewer goes over there and read the weecaps.. they probably wouldn’t want to even TRY watching the first episodes… i should know, coz I sometimes try out new dramas based on its recaps.. it’s not at all done objectively.. just way too much sarcasm sugar coated with humor.
@ Koala
Im on the same boat with all of you.. DB just post the weecap just to vent her frustrations in LTM and that post create an anti fan for LTM..Those people who dont have their own mind and just agree to whatever DB negative comments are so disappointing…For me,if you dont want it, dont watch it…and dont make a recap or a stupid full of negative and low blow weecap…

@HATERZ-CAN-SUCK-IT!!!!!!!!!!
My Dear Friend!
This time I am going have to take OKoala's side.... You may not know but OKoala is an "Old timer," around this blog and even tough you are not implying that OKoala is the instigator, the way you construct your post it implys that, she may be in to the bashing of Dramabeans, along with her fans.
In the same way that JB and GF do not have control over the minds of the people that post in their blog, Okoala has no control of what people post in her Blog, so I will be the first to give her the benefit of doubt.
She also has been a guest blogger her at Dramabeans, and she is very well like by JB and GF and a lot of folks here.
I do hope that your post was not intended to Okoala down, but I do understand that people have different opinions, and in public forums feelings do get hurt, but I will be the last to blame her for what other people write in her blog.
P.S My intention was not offend you at all.... : 0 }

Thank you for your kind reply, however I must disagree with one of your points. Although Ockoala may not be verbally bashing JB and GF like her fanbase, she does not make an effort to cease the negative comments directed towards DB. Her evident inclination to ignore these kind of posts neither encourages nor discourages ppl from making such comments. However, in my honest opinion, her indifference indirectly adds fuel to the fire.

I read one of Ockoala's LTM recaps some episodes back and she did comment on this matter and urged the LTM fanbase to be reasonable and not take the "criticisms" in DB to heart. So she has not been indifferent to the issue, contrary to what you have observed.
Like most people here, I have been following LTM mainly because of the awesome chemistry between YEH and KJW. Plus YEH is one of my favorite Korean actresses.

I agree, the writer should not waste time weecapping LTM iits just meant to annoy fans with sarcasm. Like many who are still watching & love to hate it... like swallowing ones puke or spilling it out their stink gut.
But there are people who thrive on annoying people, they are those who want to see people miserable.
Some of these haters have contributed to the demise of some showbiz people who have fallen victim to their hate campaign.

I understand that the dramabeans recaps and comments on LTM are problematic for many of LTM's loyal fanbase at other sites, however- the discussions and criticisms are (as far as I know) being kept on the DB site. A site which is completely optional to read. If someone prefers to read positive, supportive posts- then do so.
However, it's not fair to ask the people who differ in opinion to keep their opinions to themselves. Or to suggest that they, as people, are somehow lacking because of their opinions. Disagreement is fair and good. Personal attacks are not.

Let us keep the friendship of LTM brings us. No backstabbing, no negative comments - if you can't stand it just don't watch it, very simple. Maybe there's a reason SBS change the writer, maybe it's time to change it to make it more interesting. I hope both DB and Koala visitors will take it easy. Peace.

Aforementioned, I can say whatever I like.
If you can stand watching it then dont watch it, people. It's as simple as that.
Going on and on about how much the show sucks and dissapoints you? Well, look for other shows to watch or even better produce your own drama tv show!

I agree that MSOAN got the nonsensical factor that makes it enjoyable in a MST3K sort of way, but the positives in Lie to Me are 1. the lead actors and 2. characters who at least physically act like adults (though not always mentally or emotionally).
The story is a bit all over the place, so I'm curious abt how the drama will end. At the moment, this episode feels like an episode 14 or 15 sort of episode, so I'm curious abt what will happen...

Technically, yes. In terms of writer's abilities--no.
MSOAN had a seasoned writer/writers sucking together. This has just one writer who is a n00b who doesn't know what they are doing.
The thing is I think they hired KJH and YEH, because they are known for being good at turning around crappy scripts and making them at least watchable. (Exhibition of Fireworks. for example)
Writing-wise, this is worse, but waste of talent overall--that goes to MSOAN.
I cry here because I really wanted KJH and YEH to have a good script where they can bring it, but this writer is so afraid of everything that you end up with nothing--there is no follow through. It's a waste of a good cast and crew yet again. I think this proves that there is no cast and crew in this world that can rescue a crappy script.

''So the older brother got the brains, and the younger brother got the balls?''
Wise line, but actually younger brother just now used his balls. At least, now or never.
Except the bizzare aunt-related thing, I think this episode was the least nosensial of all.
I loved the weecap, as always.!

I liked this episode. The 2 new writers are trying their damnest to save the drama by putting in more YEH-KJH cutesy time. And that's fine by me, although, really SBS? Really? Change writers now that we're at the homestretch? Couldn't you do it earlier when it really could've helped? Oh well. Still, I'm happy with the all the cute. I really adore this couple!!!
Thanks for weecap!

Agreed they should have gone the Idol drama route from the start, just USE the two leads and forget the rest, as much of it only distracts from the reason anyone is watching the drama each week and that is of course the leads. As for the aunt anyone who watch two k-drama could see that coming a mile off. Family before love, business before love, how can a real man give up his career for the sake of a 'mere' girl and so on.

i think ep12 has some improvement too. i was still cringing much throughout ep11 but i really like the cutesy moments in this one. there was some heartfelt tenderness in the hug at the end, although it's totally nonsense that he would choose to run to Ah Joong instead. the chemistry is still holding up. it's still enough to get me going, strangely.

I really have a strong dislike for Yoon Ju.
Not in that, 'other-girl' (#2nd leading actress) kind of way but something about her just grates on my nerves.
Like her emotional scenes just aren't emotional. I can see that she's putting on a show. I don't feel that she is a 'real' person with 'real' feelings.
Yeah I know she's a character, but I feel no connection to her.

June 14, 2011 at 1:20 PM
I am just wondering what they are going to fill the next 4 episode with. Most drama there is a big conflict that's getting built up and it needs to get resolved but I just don't see it here.
Even with the Chairman Chen conflict, it's not really do or die with the deal. Yea it sucks that World hotel might not get the deal but really?? It's not like the hotel is in danger of going under.
And let's say KJ's aunt throws him out, it's not like there was some scheming back-up that could take over the hotel. So I just don't see how in the end his Aunt coculd really replace him
The Sanghee and Yoonju angle at this point is basically a joke, I can't think of any big thing they could do at this point to jeopardize the couple.
So the question to the new writers is can they create a believable new conflict/angst in 4 episodes?? I hope so!
Can't wait till next week!

I'm preferring to think of LTM as a throw-back to early Hallyu romcoms (like the ones with Jung Da Bin [RIP]) where a lot of the conflict is so trite and contrived but you still really need to know how it resolves itself. It's nostalgic that way.
But I still do think they need to up the stakes on the hotel thing. Maybe have Sang Hee as a successor-rival a la Lovers in Paris? Because the whole suck-up-to-Yoon-Joo thing is what drove me batty in those romcoms (you know, male lead being forced to be with second lead because of "it's for the good of the business").

So the storyline is more a sad circling story circle, round and round again? It's painful reading the plot "progression" in the weecaps alone; I don't know how many of you manage to devote two hours weekly to this. Mad devotion I surmise for YEH and/or KJH. Or maybe it's for the same reason I still read the weecaps... the rubbernecking phenomenon... can't.. tear.. eyes.. away..
Substance-wise, I feel like there was only enough material for a 2-episode special, if that.

I read somewhere E13-E14 will be the cheesy topping every romantic is hungry for. Hmm~ I'm kinda craving cheesy pizza right now if it amounts to anything.
This episode is about KJ growing bigger balls proportion it to the size of his brain. Or, if you'd rather prefer an idea SH is shrinking his balls and growing more grey matter. Which ever floats your boat.
Dang, Santa Claus has left the building! Maybe such topics like balls and brains best be avoided by such a machismo as St. Nick.
I planned on baking cookies and share my nieces' milk for Santa's next weecap, however I guess he got the memo I'm not much of a baker, more of a lover.

It's simple. Because there are those of us who haven't given up yet, and am disappointed every time we got our hopes up by the few relatively "good" episodes. Not everyone sees things in black and white. I think it's safe to say this drama falls in the gray area. I have defended this drama a couple of times, at last it completely bombed on me the last two episode.
I can speak for those of us who like some aspects of LTM, but are finding that the negative outweighs the positive. That's why whenever the drama didn't deliver, we voice out our disappointment. It's like when your fav go-to restaurant changed their recipes 50 different times. Ya feel me?

I'm really hoping that when all THIS dies down and we're few months along the line, I can rewatch it and go "Hey, this is really fun!" like I did at the beginning. Imma save this up for when the melo-season starts (autumn? winter?).

I didn't watch the episode. Today I only fast-forwarded and scenes appeared. When I saw Yoon-ju in the hosital, I had the same thought:Sam-Soon much?
And they are happy now. They...love each other. At least the writter knows those two are the ones carrying the show and she put them together as much as she can (This conclusion has been made by reading the comments in various places, because for me they are not appealing enough together).
Is just that if Chen is the only problem and with the other factors, the only source of angst is that they break up in episode 13 and coming back in the 16. Or maybe
not. They will conquer all with the power of
lustlove.Suddenly Im comparing people but, is it just me or Yunho form TVXQ looks like Kang Ji Hwan? Not entirely, but a little.

My fellow Yoon Eun Hye lovers;
I am utterly bitter at the turn of events about Lie To Me, and instead of ranting and get more pissed off the way the writer and PD has taking this ship to the brink of sinking, I am "Officially," dropping this drama, no love that I have for YEH, and no amounts of OTP kissing can keep me from watching this "Trainer wreck," I feel extremely bitter to say the least, but I feel I rather save my love for YEH, than to let it be tarnish by the all the "Fuckery" that has become Lie To Me.

I think it is unfortunate the some people come here to this blog and have the audacity, to try to shame “Java Beans and Girl Friday,” under the false pretense of them being fair while they call them “prejudicial and bias.” and to that I said to all their detractors:
WTF is your guy’s-es problems!!!!
1- This is JB personal blog! If you guys do not like it fair enough, but to accuse them of being 'Ill manner,” Is totally out of line, last time I check it is still her Blog and she reserves the “right to say, what ever she wants,” and if you guys do not like it, well it sucks to be you, no ones is forcing you guys to stay around.
2- Lie To Me, is not the only drama at Dramabeans tha has gotten an “It Sucks,” rating. For those of you who do not know the real reason why “Santa Klaus,” recap episode 11, he first appear when the drama “Bad Guy” fans got all “hurt” because of the bad ratings, and they started to complaint of “prejudicial and bias treatment.”
3- I am a hardcore Yoon Eun Hye fan, and a lot of people have gotten my “ire,” in the past when people “flame” her in this blog, but lets be honest, so far JB and GF have not “Flame her or KJH” at all, their negative comments are not director at the actors at all, but it has to do with the way LTM writing and directing has gone, to the “dogs” IMHO.
So I urge all my fellow YHE fans to not take it personal, I am still her fan and I will support in the future whatever she does, but I cannot overlook the fact that LTM as a drama is failing.
YEH FTW.......Fighting!!!!!

Why the heck people commenting on JB's and GF's so-called "bias-ness"? It's HER blog, it's HER opinion, she can express however she wants it- cos y'know, it's HER blog. Yet people come here to HER blog to complain to HER about HER opinion, seriously?! Grow up. In your lifetime you will find people who will have opinion opposite to you, but it doesn't mean you can bash them for having such thoughts, you just respect it! And it applies here, just respect other people's opinion whether they like or hate it.
And another thing, I'm sick and tired of reading posts like "omg I hate whiny post, just GTFO if you don't like LTM blah blah blah" and whine about whiny post =_=; Like serious? Okay, I'll break it down:
a) Some people might not watch it, but they value, trust and are amused by JB and GF's opinion and weecap.
b)There's NO denying that the script is lacking/crap, people have the BRAINS to say "oh yeah wtf is going on?"
c) They might not like LTM or stop watching it, but like me, I'm curious to know what is going on, "has it gone any better?" because like me - we are ALL Yoon Eun Hye fans, we want to know how she's doing in the drama, and will trust on JB's and GF's reviews even if it is a weecap, cos y'know we love HER blog ._.
d)People need to distinguish between what is criticism and what is down-right bashing. JB and GF have never bashed the actors or their acting, never said anything discriminating against them. They've expressed their dislike/lack-thereof on the script and direction.
e)Just because people voiced their criticism and dislike the show, it doesn't give the right for YOU to tell them to not to come on LTM threads WHERE it's echoing same sort of criticism.
I don't understand posts like "omg have you even watched it? then gtfo blah blah." On City Hunter's thread, there's loads of post like "kyaa I love CH" yet did anybody ask then "are you watching it?" People seem to be bashing on the posts that are expressing their dislike of the show, yet I have read (so far) no posts that are saying "you like LTM? then gfto." I swear when it comes to negative criticism, people misunderstand and think they're bashing our beloved YEH personally. Its never been personal, so calm down! So rather then telling to "GTFO this thread" then why don't YOU just stop reading posts if it makes you upset? See, you disagree right? I bet you're saying "well why should I?" then voila, WHY should they stop coming to this thread?
p.s. How many of you finished watching MSOAN? I haven't and I can say I dislike the show, oh c'mon sue me for not finishing it and disliking it - you see my point?
Moral of the story, they may dislike LTM but they are NOT targeting/bashing our beloved YEH!

What I find interesting about LTM is that there aren't too many middle-of-the-road fans. Either it's love or hate.
I liked it at the beginning (maybe 3 eps? and then the train went off the track and onto an endless loop.
It's a shame = there's wonderful chemistry between the two leads, a FABULOUS OST and a decent supporting cast.
As it's been vociferously stated many times - it's the writing.
And now SHOW has fired said writers and brought new people on board the Titanic. (You can replace the Captain but that boat's still gonna go down!)
So, to be fair I just finished watching 11 & 12. **sigh**
Our leading lady wants to "take it slow". WHAT THE HELL FOR?! I want her to wrassle his body into bed, do the deed, move into his house, do the deed some more, tell Auntie to get lost and spend the next 4 episodes making out like mad monkeys!
Is that too much to ask as repayment for all the prior dreck we were subjected to?! I think not.
I believe this rationale could have gone a long way in helping MSOAN! Face it. Tonsil-hockey is a great distraction while trying to cover poor writing. Works for me.

That is a brilliant plot...and they can have a baby at the end. If the story will go the way you want it to...I will be coming back on board...lol

Well I am a middle-of-the-road fan, but probably fans like me didn't have enough of a opinion to post. I do like the drama, it's not great but I don't think it's that terrible either. I think this drama is really best enjoyed with low expectations and on fast-forward mode. I jump to the scenes I like and I skip the scenes that bores me.

I'd like to know how the original writers envisioned this drama would turn out way back when they were just starting it.
I mean, they had to have something planned out right? Some sort of development in mind that would last for half the series that actually made sense? Cause right now, Lie to Me is going nowhere.

I have stopped watching LTM since episode 6. Sighhh, such a waste. This show could have gone in a whole different direction. Why can't the writer do something that's romantic and cute.. without have conflicts about other girls or guys... they can focus on the two leads coming together, dating and getting married and having kids.. Won't that be grand?

This drama is getting draggy. Since ep 10, none of the scenes have been interesting at all. At the end of ep 11, when both were declaring their love for eachother, it wasn't as powerful ( wasn't worth watching )..I was just like "oh...." hopefully the remaining ep are going to be good. But then, I'm pretty sure everyone is going to know KJ is going to pick Love instead of business. ...:)

Urrr...Where's Santa? Sorry JB, but I think I have fallen for Santa's weecap. I'm trying to watch this but I skip every part without the main leads so it's like a 30 min show for me. I'm soo soo dissapointed but I think this is more watchable than MSOAN...I mean take the S out of MSOAN and you've got MOAN...and not a good one either. It's one of pain for me. I didn't find it entertaining at all just irrititating.

Let's call it what it is? Lust is the major ingredient for love, without lust you can not have love between a man and a woman humans are not made up to appreciate only a person soul, that why it call MIND, BODY, and SOUL. Santa lust is what you should see human are made up of ying and yang (lust and love).
Let me tell you a story of Beauty and the Beast, my girlfriend, let call her beauty and she is a real beauty always had 10+ man trying to get her attention and she only dating 11+. At one of your ladies night out, a lot of drinking, good food and juicy man talk, Beauty was telling us about this man who asks her out. Beauty pointed out this man was not even on the point scale he had freckles, bug like eyes, his lips was lopsided and he was bowlegged. I didn't give her disgust a second thought because beauty was that kind of person that believe 99.9% of a relationship success is base on physical attraction and if there is no immediate physical attraction then there no connection, per the rule of beauty. Let be honest that not Beauty rule that the power that "B" rule, man and woman alike has proving that physical appeal is what get your foot in the door and every thing else get you in their heart.
Anyway this guy end up being consultant Beauty's company hired to complete a 6 month survey, Beauty and the beast work closely together. By the second month Beauty start tell us how good beast is at his job, he smart, professional and go above and beyond to get the work done, my ear perk up but I didn't say a word the following weeks we all continue to received text and e-mail about how great the beast is. One night at your normal ladies gathering, I asks Beauty what going on with beast just 2 months ago he wasn't good enough to get a scale rating but from all the correspondence we been getting it seem like the beast turn into a man and a 11+ man at that...LOLLOL. Beauty start to tell us how he makes her laugh, how he totally get her. Beauty now what to see how many freckles beast has by kisses each one, she sit across from him wishing she can tug on his bottom lip ( the lopsided lips) his walks is now cute (the bowlegged ) and his eyes are so soulful ( the bug like eyes)
"I’m only seeing lust:" per Santa because you chose not to see the love because it right there in every episode. In the beginning Ah-Jung was a eyesore to JKH her drunk like states shouted unkempt, and now it scream sexy. He felt she was incompetent and now she focus and smart. He felt she cling to him but now he see that she will let go. She was a person he wouldn't give a second thought about and now she has become the person he only thinks about. He pick up a phone during meeting and lip sync long song. He agree to take it slow because heart was not made to race all this is love and if he want to jump her bones everyday of her life only mean you have the best kind of love that can last a lifetime (Ying and Yang)
side note I will be changing my name legally to Ah-Jung because when a man call your name with that kind of sexiness, there only 1 thing you can do. Get a speaker because dammit I bet it a killer with surround sound.
MSOAN was one of the worst drama ever! I still have nightmare and I only watch up to episode 6.
I may be the only person on this blog that find this drama to be good from the very beginning, ok me and my sister. I have read many ppl saying it boring, the lie took to long to come out etc, etc,etc. I think the drama is good it had me laughing, and it went at a decent pace and Ah-Jung character was a welcome delight. I really wish I can understand all the negative comments about this drama, the lie took to long to come out, really? it about the same amount of time all k-drama lies are discover, it boring really? I was laughing, crying and cheering, the writer is bad... really? but you still watching it. Sometimes there is no reason behind madness.....

But from day 1 till now, I still find myself smiling, giggling, laughing and cracking - and worth the talk with my fellow chingu (kdcraze). So I will keep on watching it til the end and hoping the new writer will do a good job in delivering the script.

I love what you said about Lie to me! I am totally loving this drama. I love Ah-Jung character here. She is not afraid to be who she is and she is honest on many things (except of course the lie part) she is clumsy yes but the girl knows what she wants. She is not someone who will cry like crazy for someone cause she has a career.
And, I am with you I would like to change my name to Ah-Jung-ah too. Can I join you?

I think my attention span for this show is as long as your weecaps. Maybe even shorter.
Honestly, I know people adore her for CP. I actually liked (not loved) her in CP and Goong before that.
But I'm not her biggest fan.
And I'd prefer her more if she picked shows that were actually interesting to watch.
So as much as I love Kang Ji Hwan, I can't stomach a drama that makes very little sense just for the two of them.
Here's to hoping their next project will be much better!

Did almost EVERYONE wake up on the wrong side of bed this morning...drama speaking?
Just for satisfying curiosity,all those who hate it and bash it and then bash this site more-did you actually watch it?Then complain. If you did-then it's alright I guess.
However those whose who say they abandoned it-why bother reading a weecap?You don't get the full thing anyway.The reason why some people love it is that LTM is more than just a plotline.If it's that bad..why don't you just stop reading the weecap,bashing it and just abandon the drama.That's what I would do.There is no need to bash bash bash every time you come here.
Goodness.
Just saying it that's all.I come here to read the weecap.Everyone is entitled to their opinion.If you hate it then comment on the episode itself.It's full of repetitions if you bash the entired 12 episodes so far.Do you want to find a specific incident you don't like instead?
I mean if LTM viewers like/love it at least they write something new about what part of the episode to read.
Okay,got that off my chest.
Now I guess I'll be told off huh here?I thought I've held it in pretty well by being understanding.However it's just getting tiring reading all these negative comments.
Constructive critical analysis yes however all these vitriolic statements just reeks of 'shall I say it ' pettiness from a majority.I am not saying ALL the comments.You have got to acknowledge though,it's really tiring.I don't mind reading comments if they actually contribute something to the forum/recap/weecap.

Also *likes* this post.
I agree with you 100%. Here's my little tid-bit. I'm in the same boat as OCKoala in terms of the hug. I think it was one of the best, no one was stiff, and it looked really natural, like two people who really care for each other would actually hug. It looked like they wanted to just meld into each other.
However, what I didn't really like about the ending scene is the fact that he went to Ah Jung. I know it was supposed to show him choosing love over business, but if his company was at such a critical point, it's not like she was going to get mad at him for needing to get that stuff done. They weren't fighting or anything at the time and he could've seen her after dinner. Even the Aunt said it was for business - he can do whatever with YJ, she didn't care. While I still swooned over it, IMO it wasn't really necessary.

I love this drama but I am not blind.Look at what happened with the ep 10 cliffhanger.One thing I learnt from this...is that the beginning doesn't necessarily follow the plot from the cliffhangers :-)
See I can analyse but still love this show.Heh.

So I really think her drama recently are not just good right now, hope that she will be enlisted to a drama that will make us pull up by her acting in a good drama like what we all felt about coffee prince.

I agree. I think Amg1 and some others also posted about YEH needing to chose better dramas. I guess that's something difficult about the K-Drama system, it's hard to see where the story's going since most of the time it's being written as they film and they are only presented with a synopsis of the drama and characters, sometimes the beginning episodes.
