I think I blocked the child abuse bit out but now you reminded why I stopped watching this (apart from "This is in AMERICA"), Too much of bad stereotypes.
But keep with your posts. :D I might be persuaded to start again. :D
Re: stereotypes. I don't know it didn't strike me as stereotyped (or more so than usual) and not really about American stereotypes: basically, they are treating US in a lot of ways as if the story was set in Korea: there are certainly plenty of abusive parental figures, mobsters etc in dramas that are set in Korea, so they just have them in whatever environment the story is set.
basically, they are treating US in a lot of ways as if the story was set in Korea That was one thing that crossed my mind. There'll be some sensitive political issues raised later on in the eps, too. I was thinking "how would Americans react when they see this?" ^o^
I am usually a bad marker for how people would react/realism of place as long as the story works. You should see how some Bollywood movies view US...it's LOltastic.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Song Il Gook (grown-up Harry) is SO HOT. Yaaaaaaaaaaay! I KNOW! :D And like you, I actually like his hair too. The scruffled look suits him. And he looks gorgeous in suits (as you will see later on in the episodes).
Btw. Mob guy (bastard!!!) is the one with really good (as in perfect accent) English, don't you agree?
So have you passed the part where he is supposed to kill Maria yet? Coz that scene and the song accompanying it was awesome.
Oh the song. I love the song that gets repeated over and again in this one *glee*

Don't think so, actually, but now I am going to listen more carefully and see.

That was so awesome!!! And he couldn't kill her and was freaking out over his sister and I loved the scene when he tracked down mob guy and went all to pieces and then saw his sis was ok. I am a sucker for the sibling stuff.
I am a sucker for the sibling stuff. I think at one point somewhere in that ep (when adult Harry hugged his younger I think) I thought "Man, why do I see chemistry between the 2?" But I never got into rooting for them or anything :D And I think after that scene someone mentions that Harry adores his little sister like a girlfriend. Hah.
Don't think so, actually, but now I am going to listen more carefully and see. Pretty sure he is. I actually liked him as the "addie we love to hate."
How are you finding boyfriend of Maria's sister? I was partially liking and hating him in different parts.

The goofy guy? I am kinda indifferent to him. He's OK but sort of doesn't interest me (is that the one you mean?)...Maybe I am too fixated on SIG. Nahhhh, couldn't be!
