I didn't want to do liveblogging but as the ep went on, I kept getting the urge worse and worse and finally gave in.

asdkfjs Your recap = pure awesome.

So yes Myung Wol is an amazing lead right now. Love the acting which is the right balance of unworldliness with toughness. And in this drama it totally makes sense why she is so unaware of the world. In some dramas, you almost want to shake the heroine for being so naive to the point of being dumb.

I see the very hot chemistry between the leads but I can't exactly put into words as to why the character likes Myung Wol but just that he does. If you have any opinions on that I would love to hear it.

Also watching Material Queen which is insanely gorgeously shot with good acting. I think you'll like it a lot.

I only watched the first ep of MQ and adored it but I am literally being buried by currently airing dramas.

You are watching a ton! I actually haven't watched a jdrama since Love Shuffle and I miss the really good jdramas. Unfortunately, none in the past 2 years have captured my attention. Might start Buzzer Beat though for a fun summer drama.

Yeah, no jdramas are on my list, sadly. But between kdramas and twdramas, I am kinda drowning :)

Yes. I love that it makes sense that she doesn't know society and norms. But she is not cutesy over it or anything.

I think sometimes attraction is very hormonal and physical and raw and that is a lot of it - it's very sexual. Also, she is not like anyone he's met before because he had a bazillion fangirls/ladies who think he's hot/similar and she doesn't really act like one. And she did save his life.

That's a good point. I think also the fact that she keeps running away from him instead of trying to extort money from him or something else makes him more interested. Probably most people in his life want something from him and this person who doesn't seem to ask for anything confuses him.

Yes - it's true, she didn't want money or marry him or be around him even. That's got to be confusing.

Though I wonder how they are going to work in yet another incarnation of her as the bodyguard - he might not have paid attention to crazy autograph seeker in Singapore enough to remember what she looks like but he obviously looked at her 'high school' self plenty.
