HE'S GIVING HER BLOOD!!! I...I can't even express how into that I am. Seriously drama, there's making me obsessed with you and then there's making me crazy. DON'T EVER LEAVE MY LIFE, DRAMA.
I really hope YS finds out about his mom in ep 12 because I really just want him to get out from his father's control.
Oh please show, I NEED TO SEE THAT SCENE WITH MY EYES. PLEASE. That would be my new screensaver.
I was pretty obsessed with SKKS, but this is a whole other level of obsession for me. I was maybe this obsessed with Coffee Prince, but I think I'm into City Hunter a lot more. Probably because CP didn't have the heroine shooting the hero and then a few episodes later saving his dumbass and taking a bullet for him.
That would be a whole other Coffee Prince. Maybe they open a shop in a really bad neighborhood? :P
I am begging for that scene to be shown, as opposed to the "he says it, it cuts away, later we see her bandaged." I need it with a sick, unhealthy, unholy glee.
Also, that means they will literally share blood. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.
Yeah, I was obsessed with SG and SKKS but this is another thing entirely. Not like this since Chuno.
honestly, if this was any other drama i would be worried, how is it possible that it gets better and better by each episode? HOW?! this actually scares me, makes me afraid about the last episodes, i feel like they'll ruin it.
she really is! my love for her only increased! she was such a ninja monkey woman made of ‘badassness’ and heart!
SKKS was the last one I was addicted to. YS reminded me of MJS who pwned my heart. <3 As much as I spazz about it, I was never this crazy as I do watching CH.
I'm disappointed that they made Undaddy such a flat character. There has to be a more interesting way to show how revenge can thoroughly warp a person's perspective and thereby the person. Him being just evil... It's such a waste of Kim Sang Joong's talent!! Meh.
Just when Nana's character is finally what I imagined it ought to be.
That said, did anyone else think today's episode would entail a farewell to Shikjoong Ajussi? Jomjomajomajoma... Whew!
I am so glad Shikjoong is OK. He better survive the drama!
I actually like that Undaddy is a bigger monster than the men they hunt. That's about the only revenge kdrama I've seen take that tack and I find this corruption of the soul more realistic than weary but noble avengers kdramas are so fond of.
Plus, it sets up an interesting conflict for YS - sure, Undaddy is evil, but the targets are evil too.
I too like Undaddy losing his humanity as a result of his desire for revenge (and the challenges it poses for YS).
But I no longer see the motivation. I don't feel the corruption of the soul itself. The metaphor of the train/car with broken brakes carries only so far. The show is telling rather than showing me that the train/car's brakes have gone awry. Something's missing to make his bloodlust meaningful. A logic that has internal coherence, but so thoroughly and obviously warped the moment one looks at it from the outside.
I'm trying to think of past kdrama villains who were so thoroughly rich - a bit of President, a bit of Giant, definitely Story of Man - or even non-kdrama villains. I've definitely come across such characters somewhere, but I'm too tired to recall any easily.
All in all, given the talent portraying Jinpyo, I feel that this could have been another rich vein that the drama could have tapped to make the show and YS's travails even more meaningful.
I want Jinpyo to be given logic that gives me the shudders. To find him frightening to the core of my being. To remind us that even the best of us can lose the way, that even the most honorable and sympathetic motivations can warp into the most bone-chilling savagery.
At this point, I just want undaddy to be killed by YS. WTH is wrong with him!???
I'm so happy because there's no way YS can ignore Nana after this, even if it's to protect her.
This wins best drama of the year award for me, period. I just wish I'd waited until it finished airing so I could watch it all in one go... I gulped down the first 6 episodes in one day. Now I can't help but watch it raw when it's available... damn those cliffhangers. I'm almost afraid of how episode 12 will end... how will I survive one week of waiting??
Undaddy gave away all of his humanity - he's completely lost sight of what revenge is for - does he think his dead friend would be remotely OK with what he is doing?
A part of me wishes I had the entirety to binge on but the other part likes the agony of anticipation.
Didn't YS tell him at some point that he's not taking revenge for his father anymore, but for himself? I think watching his friends die in front of him knocked something loose inside his head... not that it's any excuse. Either he's going to see the wrong of his ways and die protecting YS, or YS will kill him to protect Nana... My predictions are so cliche, I'm willing to bet this drama will surprise us with this resolution too.
BTW, I don't think there is any woman out there watching this episode that didn't love the scene where Nana came to the rescue. She kicked some serious ass!!
I know! Sometimes it's just as much fun to watch it along with everyone, even if it means agony.
Yup, that's what YS said. But YS wouldn't need avenging himself if it wasn't for Undaddy kidnapping. I am hoping the latter gets killed by the bad guys though, because I don't want YS to have blood on his hands.

I am not sure what I will do once this drama is over. I have not been this obsessed since Secret Garden or, more accurately, SKKS.
I really want YS to find out everything - I want him to fully realize what a monster Undaddy is and go against him, no holds barred.

And Nana. So my heroine of the year. She is like Secret Garden's Gil Raim only tougher.

i feel like kissing the writers.

Nana is so amazing. Warm and loving and steel-tough. Undaddy better beware if he crosses her.

Nana = amazing. I love the trope reversal.
