Dur, I’m kinda not liking how the story is progressing in Cheongdamdong Alice based on the previews. Of course once the episode airs it might make sense, but to be honest I felt like episodes 9 and 10 continued to lack the zip of the earlier episodes. It’s probably due to Se Kyung spending a good chunk of both episodes contemplative or crying. Of course the pendulum then swings the other way and Seung Jo is off being manic and taking his new relationship with Se Kyung at light speed. Getting married? Seriously? Whether he means it, he’s using it to sock it to Daddy, or he wants to conveniently end all possibility of a marriage alliance between Royal and GN Fashion, even after sitting on the episode for a few days I still dislike what he did because he didn’t tell Se Kyung beforehand nor did he seem to take into consideration how his declaration might affect her. Watching the preview, I continue to worry that Seung Jo is in wayyyyyy over his head and he needs to slow the heck down. Like, way way down. Like at the speed of a horse drawn carriage slow down. Normally I love when relationships unfurl quickly (within reasonable constraints) because that just means the narrative isn’t getting bogged down with syrupy details. In this case, I wonder what the rush is to keep this story moving so fast. Does the writer have that much more story left to squeeze into the remaining 6-episodes? In that case, maybe an extension really is warranted. Se Kyung appears to be going with the Seung Jo tidal wave flow, but I’m longing for Seung Jo to act less on impulse. Seung Jo’s characterization is starting to fray at the edges for me, exposing the risk when writing such an eccentric character. He starts to coast on his charm and the writer doesn’t really dig deeper into his thought process because the audience wants more of the crazy side of him. Think Kim Joo Won in Secret Garden, in which case the sane female lead is left looking boring in comparison. I want this OTP relationship to unfold with care and consideration from both sides, and I hope to remaining episodes really show me that.
Written preview for episode 11:
Seung Jo’s dad takes his unexpected wedding declaration not as real love but as Seung Jo’s way of seeking revenge on him and he gets upset. This causes Se Kyung to be very uneasy and she doesn’t know what to so. In Hwa tells Tommy to act like the matchmaking arrangement never happened………..
Preview for episode 11:
Se Kyung: I won’t be like you. My values, my love, my existence, will completely be accepted as I enter Cheongdamdong………using my way.
Yoon Joo: It won’t work. Using that method, in the end you’ll lose both…..
Se Kyung: From now on, this is Han Se Kyung’s secret diary.
Seung Jo: Se Kyung, you have shown me that in this world there is a love that isn’t scary. Se Kyung, marry me!

I hope the writer(s) knows what they are doing. I am slowly starting to lose interest in this drama, mainly due to SJ's stupid confession last episode. Right now I feel like he is a mess and shouldn't marry anyone and SK should take Tommy up on his offer.
This drama's lost so much of the magic for me since around episode seven or eight. Too much will-she-won't-she re: telling him the truth, with too many external obstacles flinging themselves in the way. And it's like, now that we've gotten Se-kyung and Seung-jo to admit they like each other, we're done with building the relationship and instead focusing on it as a plot point; that warm spark they had that pulled me in and made me care just... isn't really there anymore, imo. Which is such a shame, because they had ridiculous chemistry when they were allowed screen time where she wasn't weepy and/or angstily conflicted.
It's still adequate and all, but after the crack-addled haze it had me in a couple of weeks ago? Siiiigh.
Not a perfect show, but which one is? I take everything at face value and I have faith in the writers. I think they want to show that the tension is rising in a warped speed as SK's schemes are spiraling out of control. I am so scared for all these characters, as SJ falls in love deeper with SK, SK realizes the bigger the potential heartbreak when he finds out the truth. When will the bubble burst? My poor heart! This show is killing me.
I'm hoping for an extension...I feel like there's so much the writer wants to add to the show but not enough time so everything is full speed ahead...I'm being whiplashed by how fast the events are turning...lol.
Anyway, the show still had my full love. I'm anticipating how Se Kyung is going to fight for Seung Jo love...time to see my Moonie in action.
i always had and still have faith in the writers of this show.. they never failed to impress me..
I am getting worried but I still think the writer knows what he's doing. Writer, (sorry I don't know who you are)please don't let us down!
thanks dear!
I'm still liking the show and will just wait for what the writers have in store for us. Cute slippers by the way. I want!
double agree with u dear
Aw, I'm bummed that you're no longer on the CA love train! I've got a first-class ticket on the train and I'm settling in and ordering wine, haha. I love that we're seeing an actual downside to Seung Jo's kooky personality. It shows me that the writers have built in room for Seung Jo's growth, as long as he does in fact grow.. Unlike Joo Won, he is not a total ass who's mean to the heroine. He is just impulsive and a bit self-centered. Given that Se Kyung is level-headed and calculating to a fault, I think they will balance each other well. I'm looking forward to the ride!
I'm still enjoying it, but the heady blush of first love has worn off indeed. But if it picks up (for me) in the latter half that will win back all my affection because its so much harder to have a strong ending. I thought TK2H had some of the best scenes in the final 2 episodes and that is why I love that drama so damn much. Awesome from beginning through the end.
thank you so much! big koala hug :)
the video preview didn't work.
i'm still excited to see what happens. i hope cdda will surprise you. :)
Changed to a different working preview video now.
I still have faith on CDDA. Big thanks to Koala for your hard work.
