SUFBB ep 9

So good! But what else is new!

Both JH and SA relieve his confession and the aftermath. When a girl smiles like this when she thinks back, I am pretty sure, you got her heart, JH! (Have you ever seen her smile like this at Seung Hoon?) I also love that once they get together, they get together - there is no high drama or misunderstandings, she doesn't freak out he has to live elsewhere, he isn't obsessive-possessive. They are just perfect together. Both are de facto orphans, but they find peace and family with each other (and while JH also has family in his friends - as he all but confesses to boss lady, SA is pretty much all alone).

Boys in their new digs. I just love seeing them all happy. Also, LOL and KJ and HJ living together. They aren't even trying to cover the boylove quotient of these two any more, are they?

Their new manager tries to impose all sorts of rules on them. Not that it goes down very well. But honestly, how else could it go? The main reason they are the way they are is because they are rebel nonconformists and they are a rock band, not idols - I assume even in Korea, their image has to be less squeaky clean.

Kyung Jong getting Do Il to smile for the camera. LOL

This was the most adorable thing ever - Ji Hyuk trying to get Soo Ah alone with stratagems which should be transparent to a two-year-old. Once again, I am struck how this relationship makes them so organically happy, how the normally reserved Soo Ah glows and how the gruff Ji Hyuk gets embarrassed a little but also more comfortable in his skin than we have seen him otherwise, outside of playing.

Drama, if you don't have these two make out against the wall by the end of the drama I will...I will...I don't know what, but something drastic. Angry puppy needs make-outs! And Yerim is so calm and unflappable, they would be perfect!

Boys get a make-over for a photoshoot. I can't say I like anyone's new hair except for Do Il's but then (a) I believe it's impossible to make that boy look less than perfect and (b) all they did was pin his hair back. As for the rest - ugh! What is this, Hunger Games? Though I suppose, I confess to liking Ha Jin's a bit too - for once, he doesn't look like a lost Weasley twin but actually *gulp* kinda attractive.

Seung Hoon, you are an utter and total loser. She doesn't like you that way, let it go! She isn't suddenly going to go for you because Ji Hyuk is not next door and if she was the type of girl who'd do so, would you really want her? SH just needs to move to Antarctica or somewhere else far far away.

I am getting quite worried that they are setting a clash between the band - boss lady clearly wants to exploit Hyun Soo's ambition and Ji Hyuk is deliberately unambitious - friendship is far more important to him than success. The different goals of the guys, when exacerbated by third parties and a hint of success can lead to some major break-up level stuff. No!!!

By this point, I honestly want to kidnap WK and brainwash her until she goes for Do Il! I mean, the guy is your friend (unlike Ji Hyuk, who doesn't seem to have any meaningful conversations with her), he loves you, and he's the most drop-dead-gorgeous man I've seen in ages. Are you mentally damaged? Plus, let's face it, even if Soo Ah wasn't around, if JH never was interested in you, it's unlikely he suddenly will (and if Soo Ah is indicative of Ji Hyuk's type, WK couldn't be more opposite of that - Soo Ah is quiet and very low-key and mellow). OTOH, Do Il's quiet steadiness would be a perfect match for WK's hyper, good-natured loudness and drama.

This sequence, when he's waiting for her, stretching to keep away the cold, and then tries to save some pride by pretending he only came to pick up something he forgot, but of course that doesn't hold for long. And then they cook dinner, and she secretly measures his shoes to know his size to buy him a new pair (and there is a brief worry about gangsters) is just - it's both so shippy and yet very every-day real. I mean, cooking and practical presents. It's as if they are married already :) And you can see how necessary she is to JH - he unwinds with her, but also it's the stability and practicality he never had another human being provide (seeing that the little we know of his family indicates he'd be better off being an orphan). And she also understands what makes him tick and what he needs to hear (but she doesn't lie, she just knows which truth that he's oblivious of she should explain to him so he'd feel better and more confident). He may be her protector, but she is is just as necessary to him.

Remember what I said about Do Il, Woo Kyung? Are you blind?

MAKE OUT, NOW!!!! I mean, you can tell that puppy likes her, he just can't show it because it would mess up with his attitude (plus, he really is not a very emotionally-open person, to put it mildly. Also, I wonder if it would be easier for him to admit his liking if she was less famous and popular).

Producer tries to mess with Byung Hee's song. Uh-huh. Not happening.

Soo Ah buying shoes for Ji Hyuk.

Hyun Soo smiles only in sleep, lol. I bet he's dreaming of Yerim :)

So gorgeous.

Ironically, after all that talk of Soo Ah being Byung Hee's muse, she is now Ji Hyuk's muse - it's not just because he loves her but because she encourages him and makes him feel confident.

Soo Ah decorating his shoes with a guitar. Say it with me "awwwww."

I loved this confrontation between JH and bosslady - because it explains so much about Ji Hyuk - his integrity, his honesty (he is emotionally open as he always is), what makes him tick (he says his friends are important to him because he has nothing else. That's horrifying), and how he's on the collision course with bosslady and possibly some of the other boys because he views their togetherness above all - not success or career.
