Awww....let me take care of you and give you cuddles.






Okay so that didn't go the way I planned. I wanted THREE GOOD SOLID MINUTES of Yangha MTBD annnnnd....EVERYONE ELSE HAD ONE. He was the most calm and put together. Damn it all to hell and back. Hopefully this means an actual break is coming. I'm NOT sadistic, I swear, but he's been a little unemotional and unfeeling shit the whole show and I need proof to see that he's at least screwed up by all of this. It's the only way I can believe any piece of sincerity in him. There's two episodes left, how much true sincerity can he show?

I kinda had a feeling he would be stupid and go "My father is my father, blah blah, Yoon Yangha talk blah blah" except, he can't open up his eyes to see how his father used him. Really [ Insert 진짜 here] bro? Maybe he should just go ahead and stay and a Yoon because Jangs can't be that stupid on purpose....lol.

Not going to lie, the way Youngdal was calling after Yangha in the manner of Dongchul calling after Dongwoo....it got to me. Just a tad. I'm glad Dongsoo snapped out of it and saw that Taejoon wouldn't have been better for Yangha at all. I love all the hyung line moments and I'd hope that Yangha would be able to have that, too. The split moment it took for Youngdal to find out Yangha was his baby brother...everything for him changed. His ill feelings toward Yangha were gone...and I found that bittersweet.

Random...but I really love the "no nonsensenseness" of this drama. They don't beat around the bush with telling each other things and I don't have to wait two years for someone to know the truth [ Talking RIGHT at To The Beautiful You....which I just started watching and am practically 3 episodes from finishing...lol.]. You find out new information and by the end of the episode the person who should know it, knows it.

Jaejoong crying like that makes me sad. Personally, I'd have to dig deep to produce tears like that....and there's not telling how long that could take.

Yangha is so stupid I swear. Why is he such a doormat when it comes to his shitty "father"? He should have let him rot in jail and kept the casino for himself (and his brothers). I hope he'll turn against his father soon. I can't deal with his stupidity any longer.

I'll be devastated if the grandpa dies. Fuck the CEO. He's horrible. I hope he'll either die at the end or serve some jail time. Also, can skunk-hair boss die already? He's so useless and dumb, nothing he ever "plans" works out on his favor.

Anyway, I really liked the scene where Youngdal goes to Junghee's house and her brother calls him brother-in-law. It was cute. I can't shake off the feeling that they won't have a happy ending... together.

I was smiling so hard at the brother in law bit. I also loved how the granny finally accepted him too and Youngdal was all happy about it. I love those sweet moments. Honestly I think they'll be okay because the drama is focusing on giving turmoil between the brothers, not on their romances. That's why dongs ooh got with his woman early on too. I think yangha may end up going with the heiress or just being on his own, and Youngdal when finally get the family he always wanted.

[pepper.livejournal.com]

I hope you're right. If anything happens to either of them I'll cry. I'm already too emotionally invested. :(

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

I want the CEO to die too, like horrible dead, skunk-hair boss ? you mean the ex husband if so, I want him to lose everything

[pepper.livejournal.com]

I meant the gangster boss who used to have a white stripe of hair on the middle of his head. But yeah, I want the ex-husband to lose everything too. He's awful.

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

hahahaha oh, yeah he is useless he will end up in jail.

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

I love how in some scenes he has his skunk stripe and in others he doesn't.

It's like he forgot to spray it on or just uses really crappy black dye lol (sorry triangle hair/make-up stylists ;;)

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Glad everyone knows what's up....Young Dal and Dong Soo were showing their emotions and conflict everywhere but Yang Ha was still...repressed? In denial? An asshole?

I don't know but now he knows his Dad is REALLY a cold blooded murderer so what will he do? Really the Chairman and GBT need to die already...

Also OP there are 4 episodes left due to a 2 episode extension...haven't you noticed all the EXTRA flashbacks on top of what already used to take up half the episode?

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

Yangha I was expecting a breackdown , he, i think still processing the news, I get why he is like that with his dad is the only family he knows
Young Da was devastated,
Dong Soo is like so sad and kinda useless but his woman, get thing done

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Seriously, that woman is a keeper. Write her a check

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Ono! So there's 26 episodes rather than 24? Oh joy on a stick!and no that's not sarcasm, I'm just sleepy lol. Also I agree, those flashbacks could take up 2 episodes by themselves if combined. The last episode, they actually flashed back to what happened, not 30 seconds ago! I was tearing out my hair like aaaaaaaaagh what's wrong with you?this is what gifs are for!!!

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Wait WHAT? There's two more episodes. K-Drama Gods out here answering PRAYERS.

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

If only the staff had enough plot to fill the extra two episodes rather than just stuffing all the flashbacks to THINGS THAT JUST HAPPENED A MINUTE AGO in our faces though :(((

This week it was a little...obvious T__T

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

So Yangha's reaction seemed to fit him 100%. He was, after all, brought up by a monster. If he denies his foundation, he will crumble. So I get that, and I don't hold it against him. He has feelings. I saw it in how he hesitated while young dal bared his hearts, and again when the older bro spoke to him. Yangha is at the edge right now.

The person I'm really pissed at is the second-hand ajusshi who randomly decided to confess to Yangha's father. That cemented my belief that he had yangha adapted to absolve his own selfish guilt, rather than for actual good will toward yangha. It also highlights Korea's view of mental health, and how it is not seen as a legitimate issue. Everyone kept bringing up Yangha's anxiety and depression, yet somehow the ajusshi and the older bro still thought it would be better for him to live as a rich kid. Wtf? I'm so glad Youngdal put an end to that.

I am also constantly pleased with Tom and Jerry for telling junghee about what's going on with Youngdal. They get all the love. <3<3 so I can't wait for the last two episodes. I have a feeling it will be absolutely amazing.

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

OMG that MR why he do that,like what was his point, and das is like I dont want yangha knows tthis, yanghas ask are they my brothers? Mr: yes .the dad took the news well , he just see the benefit. is sad I hoe he dies crying.

mmm you still have 4 more ep of this

[alleybetwixt.livejournal.com]

I was pleasantly surprised that, even though they're using more filler flashbacks, the pace doesn't feel like it has slowed down much... plot-wise. Still major stuff happening back to back. I love it.

Still scared that something will happen to Youngdal. But this drama has inspired a lot of trust in me with how characters are developed. So, maybe it'll turn out okay.

The women characters remain flawlessly interesting and complex.

'Brother-in-law scene' absolutely slayed me. That was THE SWEETEST!

That last scene looked like a trap to me. Like Youngdal will go to the hospital and get fucked up in an ambush. In which case, maybe Yangha will guess as much and stop or warn him. I feel like we're going to see Yangha flip in the next episode in a more apparent way.

It would be pretty rad if Yangha figures out a way to take over the casino, screw over his "father" and his thugs, and make that massive deal with T-ara heiress chick instead of Youngdal. Once the casino is in good hands, it will be okay for Youngdal and Junghee to go off and live happily ever after.

Whatever happens, gonna be thrilling for the last episodes.

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

While I get why Yangha reacted the way he did.....I'm still hoping for a breakdown. The way that ep 22 ended showed me that he's DEFINITELY having second thoughts about his "father" and how he acts/does business, so...fingers crossed that in our remaining four hours(though at least two of them will be strictly containing flashbacks -__(\ lbr), we'll finally be rewarded with some sweet, sweet guilty Yangha tears as he dramatically kneels in front of Youngdal or Dongsoo....or both. Both would work.

That said, I'm so in love with the way that Boss Min sees Youngdal practically as a son and that everyone works so hard to take care of him. Like after all the shit he's had to go through in his life, he actually has a family now. Yeah, they still are gangsters but...at least he's on their good side lmfao.

Also, the whole "Brother-in-law" scene made me smile so much. Like...idk the fond smile and hope on Youngdal's face was just...ugh. My heart ;; I swear if anything happens to our main couple a g a i n, I'm gonna chuck my laptop.
