Have you ever eaten bon bons? Each episode of the Playful Kiss Youtube Special is like a bite-sized bon bon, you pop it in your mouth and let the flavor and texture explode in a shower of sensory bliss. But then it’s gone as quickly as it arrived. But I treat PK-the-drama as my main course, so I’m totally fine with PK-the-YT-special being my dessert of bon bons, because I’m pretty full on the wish fulfillment of Ha Ni and Seung Jo.
Episode 4 of the YT special deals with a subject matter I’m pretty meh on – a third party to make Ha Ni jealous. I feel like story-wise we’re beyond that, but thankfully the situation arrived and departed relatively painlessly.
It does bear mentioning that being married to Seung Jo isn’t easy, both within the marriage and outside the walls of their safe haven. He’s an extremely attractive man, and women are going to keep throwing themselves at him. It was reassuring to know that Seung Jo really doesn’t even spare one second for them, his entire heart has been given to Ha Ni.
Youtube Episode 4 Recap:
Mom announces to the her kids that Go Ji Soo has arrived back in Seoul for a vacation. When Ha Ni asks who that person is, Eun Jo informs her that she’s a neighborhood girl that grew up with them. If Ji Soo hadn’t moved to the US, then his sister-in-law would not be Oh Ha Ni today, it would be Ji Soo. Seriously Eun Jo, if you don’t talk people won’t think you are a mute.
Mom quickly clarifies the situation by saying that Ji Soo was like a sister to her sons. Seung Jo smiles fondly at this discussion, likely he has a nice memory of Ji Soo (eh, not for long, buddy). Mom accidentally lets slip that the neighborhood thought of Seung Jo and Ji Soo as potential golden couple, but she corrects herself by asking Ha Ni to treat her like her own sister.
Ha Ni is genuinely happy to have a younger sister to spend time with. Rather than wish for a brother, she always wished for a sister instead. Poor Ha Ni, I forgot how lonely you were being an only child of a single parent. The door bells rings (ding dong, the witch is here…..), and Eun Jo runs to open the door. He seriously has a cougar complex.
Mom enthusiastically hugs Ji Soo and welcomes her back to Korea. Seung Jo welcomes her warmly, and Ji Soo launches herself at him like a puppy attacking a bone. She grabs him for a bear hug and plants a kiss on his cheek (hurry, go disinfect your cheek, Seung Jo!). Ha Ni, who was looking on beatifically, suddenly realizes the true nature of this girl. Our Ha Ni’s expression falls and her cheek twitches spasmodically.
Thank god Mom is here, and she comes to the rescue. Mom effortlessly disentangles the claws of the wench from Seung Jo’s arms and warmly introduces Ji Soo to her Seung Jo-oppa’s wife. Ji Soo pretends to be excited to meet Ha Ni, telling her that she’s wanted to meet Ha Ni because she wanted to know how she got Seung Jo to marry her.
Ji Soo turns right back to Seung Jo and tells him that she’s dreamed about him everyday while she was in the US. She wants Seung Jo to take her out somewhere fun now. I want Seung Jo to take her to the nearest quarry, dig a ditch, and chuck her in there. Ha Ni looks on with a pout.
Its dinner time, and Ha Ni has helped Mom with dinner preparation. Ji Soo walks up apologizing for not helping out, but the ladies just tell her to enjoy herself since she’s a guest. Ha Ni pulls out her chair next to Seung Jo and is about to sit down when Ji Soo seats her bony ass in Ha Ni’s spot effectively freezing her out of sitting next to her own husband. Both Mom and Seung Jo note this behavior, but decides to let it go.
Ji Soo continues her shameless behavior (omo! She is Shameless Hussy’s younger sister, isn’t she?) by putting meat on Seung Jo’s spoonful of rice. Seung Jo eats the food, but doesn’t look comfortable at all. Ji Soo switches her attention to Ha Ni now, asking if she pursued Seung Jo first. Eun Jo (seriously, stop talking, boy!) pipes up and says that Ha Ni stuck to Seung Jo like glue the entire time.
Shameless Hussy Jr. grabs Seung Jo’s arms, and says that if she knew Seung Jo would be taken away while she was in the US, she would have packed him in her suitcase and taken him with her. Ha Ni voiceovers that she’s not sure what to do – Seung Jo is her husband, but this girl keeps grabbing him and calling Seung Jo-oppa. What’s Ha Ni to do? (Slap a bitch, maybe?). Mom leans over and tells Ha Ni to just let it go, it’s no big deal.
Ha Ni is already in bed when Seung Jo comes him after taking a shower. He asks Ha Ni whether Ji Soo is cute (in a proud oppa way). Ha Ni concurs – she’s pretty, smart, and very confident in front of Seung Jo. To which the clueless husband says that Ji Soo used to be ditzy but appears to have become a young lady in the intervening years.
He tells Ha Ni not to be dejected if people compare her to Ji Soo. He tells Ha Ni that Ji Soo is just like a sister, and to treat her well during her visit. Ha Ni wonders why she’s so annoyed by Ji Soo since it’s true that Seung Jo treats her just like a sibling. Maybe because the viperess has her claws ready to sink into your husband and your wife-dar is going off.
At school, Ha Ni uses her snazzy phone as a walkie-talkie and pages Seung Jo, asking him to join her at her dad’s restaurant to try out a new noodle he just created. Unfortunately, Seung Jo has to beg off, as Ji Soo has asked to borrow him time for a day. He tells her to just go enjoy the noodles by herself. Ha Ni walks down the street, and wonders why she is feeling jealous. She is Seung Jo’s wife!
Regardless, it is annoying that Seung Jo is being borrowed, like he’s an object. She finally convinces herself that it’s not a big deal, Seung Jo is just taking an old friend he treats as a sister out for a day of fun. Ha Ni finally cheers herself back up again. What I love about Ha Ni is how much she tries to make sense of her own feelings in light of the situation. While it’s clear to everyone that Ji Soo has a crush on Seung Jo, since she’s just visiting and it’s likely not going anywhere, everyone appears to want to just let it go and not make a big deal about the situation.
Ha Ni is folding laundry outside her room, when Ji Soo flounces down to join her. Ji Soo asks whether Seung Jo kisses better than other guys? Ha Ni says that she doesn’t know, she’s only ever kissed Seung Jo. Ji Soo says that Ha Ni is so pure, whereas she has kissed a few guys in the US, but none can compare to Seung Jo. Ha Ni is confused until Ji Soo drops the bombshell that her first kiss was with Seung Jo, and likely it was the same for Seung Jo! The witch tells Ha Ni to sleep tight next to her Seung Jo-oppa who can kiss very well.
That night in bed, Ha Ni is tossing and turning, unable to rest. She keeps looking at Seung Jo, but can’t bring herself to ask him whether his first kiss was with Ji Soo. Seung Jo gets annoyed and keeps asking her what she wants until Ha Ni starts to ask about it. But Seung Jo jumps to the wrong conclusion, so Ha Ni doesn’t correct him. They lay back down to sleep, this issue unresolved.
In the morning, Ha Ni comes downstairs and sees Ji Soo making breakfast. Ji Soo says that she’s making her Seung Jo-oppa’s favorite breakfast for him. Ha Ni tries to grab the plate out of her hands, with both ladies insisting that they can do it. The plate tips and the egg resting on top goes flying and lands on Eun Jo’s head. Hahaha, serves you right, you little wordy pipsqueak.
Ha Ni walks back to her room later, and hears a witchy giggle coming from within. Ha Ni-ya, you’ll definitely need someone to exorcize your room later. She opens the door to find Ji Soo resting on their bed, looking at a picture album. Ha Ni puts her foot down and tells her to leave, no matter how close she is with Seung Jo, this is their bed and personal chambers.
Ji Soo throws it back at Ha Ni – why is Ha Ni so uncomfortable when Ha Ni is Seung Jo’s wife? Eh, maybe because she’s too sweet and you are an evil ho-bitch? Seung Jo picks the worst time to arrive. Ji Soo uses the woe-is-me method and apologizes to Seung Jo for coming into his room, she was just curious. This leads Seung Jo to tell Ha Ni to stop being jealous of a younger sister. Ha Ni runs off.
Seung Jo and Ji Soo have a conversation outside. Seung Jo asks Ji Soo not to treat Ha Ni the way she has, but Ji Soo just launches into a discussion about how much she likes Seung Jo. Ji Soo wants to know whether Seung Jo really loves Ha Ni. Yo, Shameless Hussy Jr., it’s none of your business what these two married cuties feel about each other, so go jump off the nearest cliff, will ya?
Ha Ni overhears this, and steps up to tell Ji Soo to get her paws of her man. Actually, Ha Ni is way more awesome than that. Ha Ni tells Ji Soo that she would have never agreed to go to the US if it meant leaving Seung Jo. Even a day without seeing Seung Jo is like a needle prick of pain in her heart. Ji Soo refuses to back down, and says that might be what Ha Ni feels, but what does Seung Jo feel?
Ha Ni leaves because she can’t speak for Seung Jo. I don’t know why robot boy always makes us wait so long before he steps up, but he does yet again. Seung Jo informs Ji Soo that Ha Ni’s feelings for him are exactly why he’ll never let her go. He loves how focused she is on something that she loves, and he loves that focus of hers.
Seung Jo finds Ha Ni sitting on the steps of the neighborhood staircase. He drapes his sweater over her, and asks what she thinks she’s doing? Ha Ni replies that she was worried she was going to lose Seung Jo. Doesn’t he know that? Seung Jo doesn’t know any such thing – he only knows that he’s picked Ha Ni. Baek Seung Jo has picked Oh Ha Ni, and she is the only one for him. Seung Jo leans in to kiss his wife, and the camera pulls back from this sweet moment.
Thoughts of Mine:
I know why this story was filmed as part of the PK YT episodes, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t wishing it’d be over and we can move on. I do understand that any fight between Seung Jo and Ha Ni makes their reconciliation that much sweeter. But having a useless, lame third wheel really is a giant waste of time. It makes me long for the days of Hye Ra, a worthy opponent that made sense and fit the narrative.
Nevertheless, anytime spent with Ha Ni and Seung Jo is a giant win for me. I can’t believe we’re already past the mid-way point of the YT episodes. I’m quite looking forward to the next three YT episodes based on the synopsis, but part of me wishes to delay its airing so as to postpone the inevitable day PK finishes its YT run.
I think it’s quite ironic that PK was such a domestic ratings bust in Korea, and because of it has reached far greater international attention than if it had been a ratings bonanza during its initial run. Baker King, Kim Tak Gu was the highest rated drama in Korea in 2010, yet this drama will likely never reach international awareness. I think what happened with PK was a blessing in disguise. It gave both Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min under-the-radar room to breathe during the airing, and now they can bask in their well-deserved feeling of accomplishment.

As always your recap is awesome and as much anticipated by me as the webisode itself! Thanks a lot!!
I concur with you that this story was a little bit redudant. We have already see a jealous Ha Ni so, if they wanted to give us some sweet reconciliation, why not a jealous Seung Jo!? I would have liked very much to see some kind of situation as the one in the taiwaness version with Ha Ni classmate!! That way we could have seen another step of our dear robot towards showing his feelings :-P
On other matters, that kiss..... hope is not the steamy scene KHJ was talking about in the presscon!! If it is, us of the boat team will be left as lost castaways adrift in the vastness of the ocean...kkkkkkk :-D
Ockoala, was it me or were your talons and fangs showing while writing? I hadn't seen you this aggressive. LOL But I completely understand. Who wouldn't want to protect this lovely couple? Heck, if we were in their "universe" you'd see a whole army of us fangirls barricading--I laugh at the mental image of thousands deep human wall. LOL
Anyway, as I watched this, I really liked how Hani herself has changed. She isn't one to jump the gun--more BSJ influence, I guess. I liked how she was stewing, if not, analyzing her feelings. And only when the conflict escalated to something completely obtrusive did she step up and put her foot down. I liked it, it was a sharp contrast to when she followed BSJ and Hae-ra and she automatically thought they lived together.
This is what I got from this webisode. BSJ and OHN's wave-lengths are finally meshing together, regardless of it being spoken or not.
Okay, so I was a little annoyed with the delayed reaction on BSJ's part but I guess it took him a quick second to realize, wait, what? This girl whom I thought as a sister want's what? I wish he had more epic flair-up. But the sweater over Hani's shoulders made it for me. <3 It's in the little things.
(AND STUPID CAMERA PANNING!!!)
Oh I forgot to mention on the positioning they took when he told her she was the only one for him. They were at eye level for once. He wasn't looking down, and she wasn't looking up, he was standing on the step below and she above and they were eye to eye.
Yeah that, that right there was good.
Bad panning is still bad.
hahaha...so true....i think i could see the softness of SJ eyes in that posision.... ^^ love that moment....but hate the bad panning!! T_T
Yep, that part spoke to me, too. There was something about that eye-level connection that sent so many messages: that he was setting aside his pride and willing to meet her feelings, even holding them more important than his; that he loves her as much as she loves him; that they are meant to be each other's lifetime partners; etc.
I think that's why KHJ really wants a girlfriend he can treat as a guy, hang out with. I would guess that people in his line of work really crave that connection and not be distracted by the pretty face.
Dear HJ,
I find your brother more idol like, but your charisma's like a super-massive black hole that I got sucked into and has caused my logic to poof like star dust.
J.J.
First off, I have to concur with your frustration with yet again another long distance shot of a very tender moment between our couple. Seriously, why is the director so stingy with the close-ups of the kisses!
Secondly, I agree that Oh Ha Ni has truly grown. She was very mature about keeping her jealous feelings in check and excusing that shameless s k a n k's behavior up to a justifiable point. I really like what you said about their wavelengths finally meeting together.
@ goodange, I think it was right at that moment he told her to stand up and she was on that step higher that I realized that.
THEY WERE EYE TO EYE FINALLY! That's how a marriage should be but I'm glad it's finally come for them. :)
JJ, I couldn't agree more. They are working it out as hubby and wife :)
Hope this is not the steamy love scene too :)).. still waiting!!!!!
@Okala, thank God I found your blog.. I really enjoy reading your recap and all the comments.. looks like you have intelligent PK lovers here. @ everybody,Thanks, guys for not saying bad things about KHJ.... robot, well I can take it :)) I think he's doing good little by little. Thanks again Okala.
The "robot" comment is about the Seung Jo character. :) Lovely and apt nickname Ockoala gave the Baek brothers.
He's more of an "emotionless kid groom" than KHJ ever was. Hehe.
thanks ockoala!!!!
inkow having a third party to shake the marriage of our adorable couple is kinda lame but hey if its the way to make baek seung jo step up everytime then so be it.
i like the fact even though oh hani is the one whose more affection, more vocal about her feelings for seung jo, still everytime that baek seung jo needs were to be ask its still oh hani for him and nobody else.
i think they just mirror a regular couple which are the girls are more vocal and the guys are more introvert when it comes to showing feelings.
got to agree about the ratings issues, i guess its really a blessing in disguise for Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min because even though its not a big hit in korea, nevertheless they are already known in korea as actress/actor having a buzz/international wave aside their country in my opinion is a much bigger accomplishment which the both of them deserve and PK as well. and it also opens new doors for them which im sure will help them to attain greater heights in their respective careers.
PK AJA!!! FIGHTING!!!
HYUNMIN FTW!!!!
This mystifies me High ratings in Korea = National success...
LOW ratings in Korea = INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS...
Hm, which "wins"? ;)
i think in the long run, the last one will take the cake, right?
:nods: And lives on immortally in the interwebs (legally--you know, as opposed to those that people upload and then get taken down?)...well unless the internet decides to crash. XD LOL
Forgive the 4-D :P been watching a lot of SS501 clips lately.
i dunno about ss501 clips but what kills me is that SKKS has led to DBSK mania amongst drama-watching fans. Since I caught it a whiles back, so its funny to see the sudden volume of distribution of the oldoldold videos!
@ Carol, I know right, I love how these old stuff suddenly resurface. :)
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!! It was annoying the heck out of me not knowing the conversation between JiSoo and Seung Jo. I just about love your insight! I've got to say this has been the most enjoyable experience of watching a drama. I love it! I too agree that I sometimes want the delay because then it would extend my PK experience but I'm too impatient to really wish that...
Thank you again for clearing up the holes!
Thanks for the recap...
I totally agree with you. Self-confident is an inside job. It's not something that Seungjo can give Hani. It's something she has to do for herself. Marrying to a great man is not easy and it takes a self-confident woman to do it. She chose to be with him so she needs to be stronger knowing that what she has to give no other women can and he confirmed that. Other woman will always put themselves first but not his Hani, his Hani puts him first and he appreciated that. That is what he needs. Other women may admire him and want him but his Hani loves him and he needs love. He does not need to be admire or a smart wife. Hani's brilliance is her ability to love, especially her love for him. She loves him more than he knows how to love himself.
Don't forget though, Hani is not a victim here, she got what she wanted, she wants a brilliant man. If she wanted someone to love her blindly, she would have chosen Joongu. Right?
@ Jennifer, thank you, that was very articulate. :)
Borrowing from Boys Over Flowers, Goo Jun Pyo told Geum Jan Di (and I swear there are only a few lines I liked enough to remember in that show) "I don't need anything, I've got money, looks, intelligence. But what I need is Geum Jan Di. Just Jandi herself." And I think this rings true for BSJ and OHN.
BSJ's got everything he needs, like OcKoala said (I'm sure it was OcKoala) if he had married Hae-Ra it would have been a comfortable marriage, and like wise for Hani and Joongu, but both found what they needed in each other. (CUE OMMA'S POT-LID METAPHOR)
Hani is the lid to Seungjo's pot! :)
It's kind of funny how Seungjo said that he choses Hani but he did not know that she chose him first and convinced him that she was the right one. It was her courting him and not the other way around...But we'll let Seungjo believes that he chooses her, whatever fits his fancies...
To be honest I think that BSJ still doesn't believe, at least in mind, that she's the right one. But I think he FEELS it...and that's why it was such a poignant thing for me. Back in that episode when he asks her "how do you know it's meant to be?" (or something to that effect) and she says "when your heart starts to beat really fast"... he had replied then "I wish I could feel that."
What was lacking in him all along was feeling...she's that part of him that makes him *feel* and the closest part of him that can "equate" feeling is her focus. Her focus and drive, in which made him fall for her so much, is the passion she feels.
What was it in that episode when she left the house, "if you lose your can-do attitude I have nothing to be interested in" BSJ said. XD That made me flinch back really hard when he said that. LOL
Yes J.J hani is the feeling for SJ , Robot doesn't have feelings na , it's OHN who brings all feelings to his heart , that was shown in the anime and manga with Keita's story ( Kotoko's classmate ) and Naoki said the same to keita that Kotoko is the only person who can make him have feelings ( like jealousy ) .
this show is just cute .
first of all.....thanks to ockoala for the recap!! ^^/ since i needs the translation to understand the ep...your recap saved me!! and love your recap as usual....
i love your quote here... ^o^
"I want Seung Jo to take her to the nearest quarry, dig a ditch, and chuck her in there"
and this one too...hehehe ^u^
"hears a witchy giggle coming from within. Ha Ni-ya, you’ll definitely need someone to exorcize your room later"
hahaha...make me laugh... and yes.....why the Stupid Camera Panning!! we can't see BSJ tenderness towards Hani there... T_T
I saw someone's lips part open after BSJ latched on for a kiss! JSM, so cute. LOL
Btw, I saw someone' jaw moving when the camera panned away. KHJ, atta boy. LOL
hehe...i guess there's a bit movement we could see from afar... but still... T_T *sigh* wish the tender moment was a bit longer too...
LOL I'll have to plug in my laptop to my big screen TV again to do some CSI LOL!!!
Oh PK, what you reduce me to. XD
I miss this. Last I did this was rain scene ep 13 LOL
nice alternative J.J...kekeke....^,^ wish i could do the same with my laptop....
hahahaha!! i noticed the jaw movement too!! too bad the shot wasn't up close and personal.. hahahaha!!
i agree with your last paragraph...
i mean if the ratings in korea werent low or if it was mediocre like BoF ranging from 15-20%, then PK would have extended to 20 episodes or maybe 24 episodes. at 20-24 episodes it would have been enough to rap up the whole season 1 & 2 (with all the wedding and marriage life of our fave adorable couple). By then there would be no webisodes and they wouldnt have 1Million hits in YT in just 5 days. and the webisodes wouldnt be rated no.1 in countries like germany, taiwan, hongkong, australia & etc. Then the webisodes wouldnt have caught the attention of CNN.
saying all that. as far as i know, with 12 countries that has already bought the rights of PK, i think they can just pat their back for a job well done. i think at the end of the day or at the end of the drama run what all the staff/actors should be proud of is the fact that they are recognized, even if not in their own country, but in others..
for 2010, Playful kiss may have been the drama that had made waves/tsunamis. well we just have to wait for M3, i guess...
Playful kiss hwaiting...
PS: does anyone know when the CNN special for hyunjoong/PD will be aired on TV..?
The super junior part aired, KHJ's should be next. I think Kathy's blog or Liezle's had the schedule.
Thank you for your recap. I was not loving this webisode when I watched it initially. OHN being jealous was getting tiresome. But, after reading your recap, I feel much better about it. I can't wait for the subs to be out.
I am already in decline anticipating the ending of these webisodes. I so adore this couple. I really think KHJ has really relaxed and done some good acting in these webisodes. JSM...this girl is unbelievably adorable. I love her expressions. I can tell whatever she's thinking w/o subs. Yeah...girl crush solidified.
I totally agreed with you on JSM acting and expression me too don't need a sub to know what is going on. I even cried with her when she sat on the step and don't even know aword they said. Love this girl. :)
Cannot wait to see what is her project will be. She'll be a big star for sure.
Thank you for the recap & Love it.
Help PKissers out there. I seen the photos of him (KHJ) leaving Kimpo airport to Japan (the one at got posted today 11/9/2010) and noticed that he has a ring on the necklace BUT it is not the same one that he usually wear all the time. It's look like a wedding ring from PK to me!!!
Am I way too crazy about this couple or what? Let me know what u think ok.
Those necklaces are part of the Cartier Love collection I believe.
I wanted to get one for myself then saw the price tag. Yeah, boy's makin' money.
Btw, did any one notice the little pin he had on his jacket? It might be the same jacket he wore to the Good Bye BSJ fanmeet.
On another note... I was pondering upon the intrusiveness of Shameless Hussy 2.0 in their bedroom. I think I would have grabbed something and chucked it at her, BSJ's sisterly bond with her be damned.
At least Hae-ra had sense. I miss her all of a sudden and her really nice shoes.
Yeah... Hae Ra was a worthy and dignified opponent... opposed to the hussies... YUK!
I LOVED HER SHOES. If anything as Ji Hoo's first lover (forget her name) in BoF said
"Good shoes take you good places." I LIVE BY THIS RULE LOL
who's? Hae Ra? Hussy 2.0 (-_-YUK), Hani??
Hani had a couple of nice boots on her feet (this ep). hahah good shoes does take you to good places (mostly because you're likely to wear your good shoes if you go somewhere good... i think?... and they probably won't break down on you ;) nice one-liner again!)
ow sorry missed your comment about HaeRa's shoes...
I love hers @HaNi's wedding... when she was strutting down the street with tennis sunbae tailing her
Hae-ra's shoes. LOL
Hani's got lovely non-plussed flats that I love too. But we hardly see them. -_-
As for the quote, I think it's the fact that shoes can equal confidence, look at hae-ra, and that confidence takes you to good places.
hmmm slightly off topic, but once, a foggy teacher told me that from someones strut... he can hear how the person is feeling... happy sad... etc.
HaNi has this timid, mouse-like but cute steps, while HaeRa walks in and walks all over people with her model-like strut. Ommoni's walk is sneaky hihi... BSJ's is... unconcerned... relaxed, patient. BJG's is with haste...
where is our ex-HaNi-stalker actually?? Hope we will be seeing a little bit of him (and maybe even HaeRa)too, before this all really ends ....
I agree with that. When I drift off I find myself just watching people. I love doing this in the subway btw, and you can see the lives they lead or their current state in their faces.
As for the walk my father says I have this grace when I walk but power when I stand LOL (And I go, yeah, I'm the clumsy one, remember?)
Oh and the voice too, you can tell a lot about a person's voice.
Real life anecdote:
I asked my boss "are you still sick?" and he goes "no? why? I had my flu shot weeks ago..." "you're still sniffling..." "ah, i might be getting sick after spending X hours in the hospital yesterday"... and hours later he goes "how do you know I'm not feeling well?" i go "You can tell by a person's body. It's basic behavioral psychology."
Ahhh that's nice... observing people doing everyday-life-stuff... keke.
When i'm having the little moments of feeling down and not knowing where me future goes... everytime when i see a strange face (on the streets/ in the train) I wonder what kind of life that person is leading, what kind of job he/she is doing... married or single but mostly how they get where they are now... especially when i see someone who oozes confident... i'm glad those moments of insecurity towards myself passes ^^
heheh I can see that your stance is powerful... you appear to be a woman who stands her ground ;)
going off topic yet again: the first encounter with haera... i was a bit dumbstruck... she has a powerful appearance, oozes confident, is tall, and beautiful.. I actually LOVED (or love) her voice.. a lot! it's really clear and pure... really nice to the ears ^^ (but of course i started to not like (not quite dislike... jusst not like) her as she is HaNi(/our) rival ;))
but i find her beauty intimidating...
HaNi's beauty is friendly and approachable
^_^ thank you for the compliment <3 <3 <3
You're awesome too~ (we've got to talk more on FB love!)
As for watching people, I think it was one of my professors who said that, "everyone's face is like a tome, each and every line, each nuance, is part of this grand work that is their life." That made me appreciate people watching all the more.
I love Hae-ra. She for one was without guise and if anything I loved her all the more for teasing Hani. I didn't dislike her too much, annoyed was more I like it. Okay, so there was that one instance I wished her death (kiss scene that Hani imagined), but that was it. LOL
Hae ra's beauty is all encompassing (like Baek Seung Jo's)
But Hani's beauty is the familiar type that you can't place but embrace whole heartedly. Kind of like JSM herself, while people say she's Yoon Eun Hye 2.0, it's different. She cut from a totally different cloth.
I think Lee Tae Sung needs to work on her snorting. I couldn't re-watch the scene in ep 13 where she was wearing a slim fitting red dress. She is though good actress.
