Spoiler In Words: IADD Ep 17 & 18

Ahhh I absolutely hate it when I'm falling behind dramas, but it's sort of lucky they extended two more episodes for this show - now I can personally bid it goodbye, I'm still falling behind due to my Taiwan trip but I plan to catch up this weekend. 

I forgot which Melo Breeze (I think it was the ending theme for Smile, You) song the Afro dude sang badly, but I remember LOL-ing so hard at that scene. 

Vis a Vis - Melo Breeze 


Episode 16's SIW

After Se Yeon returns home, Jin Goo's family prepares food to send to Hyuk Gi's hideout. Due to Jong Suk's threatening call, Daddy Eun and the whole family is extremely nervous; Daddy Eun then follows Jin Goo's dad advice and decides to go to the hospital.

Jong Suk continues to avoid responsibility, which frustrates his father to no end (hc: hate to tell you this dad, but you've raised a sociopath). In the meantime, Byung Chun's testimony further confirms Jong Suk's guilt. The Wook Gi filled with anger wants to bash Jong Suk up, but Hyuk Gi advises him against it. He is confidently preparing for the next court session. 

In the end Jong Suk is sent to the police due to his involvement in the hit-and-run case. Chae Ryung's mom and Man Soo is also able to return home now. 

Episode 17's SIW

It's the start of the second trial, and Byung Chun and Jin Goo's dad stand as witnesses. Due to the their testimony and the lack of evidence to convict Daddy Eun as the killer of Duk Gi, the verdict was that Daddy Eun was innocent and acted in self-defense. 

Jong Suk was also found not guilty due to insufficient evidence, but because he forged documents and ran away from the scene of the crime, he was thereby sentence a year behind bars (WHAT?!! A paltry one year for ending someone's life?! There's no justice in the world I tell you). 

After the verdict, Hyuk Gi prepares for his judicial examination while Chae Ryung who has been working in the cafe is sent to the China branch. Just like that, the two who are working hard towards their goals are separated for 4 years...

I swear, sometimes translating SIWs makes me want to tear the hair off my head. Calling it cracking a Leonardo da Vinci code wouldn't be far off. Don't believe me? Every sentence is so goddamn long like this, mix in a couple of disjointed scenarios here and you have no idea what the hell is going on in this sentence oh if you're lucky it you'll get the occasional commas to separate the foot-long sentence to shorten your misery, feel free to do a headdesk now. 

That is why when the sentence finally clicks in after some deconstruction and reading it aloud for the 9831203920-th time, 
the sense of accomplishment is like no other. Hohoho. I finally understand what Robert Langdon must have felt solving those damn puzzles.

Spoiler In Words For IADD Ep. 11

*Sigh*  I feel so down today...it's the second last day for the airing of M3 and I don't know if I can screw up the courage to watch it. 
I've never felt this nervous for a drama finale before. It feels like I'm sitting on a precipice, waiting for something ominous to befall me. Should I just watch the previous episodes where the OTP is 
officially together and take that as my ending? Ignorance is bliss, they say. 

IADD OST -Just Like Now (composed by Donghae -Wook Gi in the drama)

Spoiler In Words For IADD Ep 9

Gosh...today's spoiler is horrible. It's really poorly translated, some of the sentences are even left hanging halfway *sweat* Still, I'm sure the translator tried her hardest, so I'll do the same too. So please bear with me <(_ _)>

Spoiler In Words For IADD Ep 8

IADD OST- I'm Waiting

This drama has found its way to my heart. I love the Daddy Eun moments especially (if only parents in M3 are half of what Daddy Eun is like) and I find myself deeply invested with the character's relationships. But shock: This ain't your regular heart warmin' drama. The show's highly intricate web of relationships is even more complex then previously thought (read: may include birth secrets). And its not even a makjang drama, oh boy...

Spoiler In Words For Episode 8

Daddy Eun feels that he's becoming a burden to his children, and becomes depressed. Chae Ryung wants to heal his depression, thus she goes to find Hyuk Gi with the intention of borrowing some money, despite Ae Ryung's pleas not to do so. But what she found instead pained her heart...as she sees how hard Hyuk Gi and Wook Gi were trying to make ends meet.

Man Soo guilt doubles at seeing the family in such a state. He leaves the household, leaving mom alone to take care of the house move.

Omo, look at those biceps!

Meanwhile, Hyuk Gi and Wook Gi finds Daddy Eun and told him the circumstances surrounding Duk Gi's death, and apologizes for what they did to him.

Spoiler In Words For IADD Ep 7

My favorite character so far:

Ae Ryung totally steals the show from her sister Chae Ryung. I think it's partly because of actress Lee Hee Jin who executes gripping emotions so well, but mostly 'cause Chae Ryung's still a spoiled brat, showing no signs of character development despite the show nearing towards its second half.

Like her brother, Ho Ryung said, she's the Shim Chung of the family and despite marrying Jin Goo for her family's sake (gah! k-heroines and their matyr complex), I find myself very invested in their relationship. So let's see who falls for whom first ;)

Alas, Dr. Hong! Were you nothing but a plot device?

Spoiler In Words For Episode 7

In the end, the marriage ceremony proceeded without Daddy Eun's presence. After the wedding banquet, Ae Ryung is in a dire mood as she thinks about her father. Ho Ryung leaves for the hospital, where he had an accidental encounter with Hee Jae. But turns out it was not so "accidental" on Hee Jae's part, it was all part of her plan...

At the hospital, Hyuk Gi is sadden by Ho Ryung's hostile treatment, and as a result of that he vows to himself that he'll repay the debt owed to Daddy Eun (I find it weird that the victim's family is the one who feels sorry here). 

As Daddy Eun recovers consciousness, all sorts of feelings welled up in his heart. He gives Ae Ryung his blessings for the couple, instead Ae Ryung just teared up in the arms of her father.

Meanwhile, Man Soo finds out that his friend has absconded with his money meant for stock investing.

Spoiler In Words For IADD Ep 6

Before watching this drama, I thought my fav character would be baddie played by Ha Ji Won's brother, Jun Tae Soo. Boy, I was so wrong. While I never hated his character in SKKS, I've come to dread his scenes here. 

Unlike In Soo who loved the girl, Jong Suk merely wants to possess her. You can tell, he's only going this far because his pride can't accept the fact the Chae Ryung is not least bit interested in him.

Spoiler In Words For Episode 6

As Ae Ryung's family members finds out her reason for marrying Jin Goo, they protested violently, but were unable to shake Ae Ryung's resolve. While Ai Ling works hard to pay off the interest from the loan sharks, Chae Ryung sets out to find someone who had borrowed money from Daddy Eun before.

Meanwhile, Jin Goo is estatic to find out that Ae Ryung has agreed to the marriage, and heads out to the room salons*(Room salons are upscale noraebangs; comes with female companions and not unlike Japan's host clubs). Dr. Hong hears about this (yay for more screen time!), and is extremely worried for Ae Ryung's future.

Mom thinks of ways to acquire cash, and takes the shareholder info from brother Man Soo, with the intention to invest all the money (this SO will not end well; NEVER ever invest money in a kdrama).

On the other hand, as the day of the wedding ceremony loomed near, an aggrieved Ae Ryung cries in front of Daddy Eun who lies in the hospital bed, but there was no way Daddy Eun would know what's in her daughter's heart. In the end, a wedding ceremony was to begin without Daddy Eun's presence. 

At this time Daddy Eun has just woke up from his slumber; he wants to go to the wedding but ends up crying in the arms of Hyuk Gi (who had came to the hospital to visit him).

Isn't she lucky? What bunch of good looking guys

One thing about Daddy's spoilers, it makes translating SG ones seem like a damn walk in the park. There's just too many things going on, and too many freakin' names in chinese that I've to figure out, and because they're so many family members, their names are oh-so-similar. 

It's ironic to note that the things that are causing me so much frustration are the very same reasons why I enjoy the show so much. I love the overlapping love lines (let's see, Chae Ryung and Ae Ryung each have THREE potential lovers) and the fact that the OTP is not that obvious at this point.

In short, it's sort of like makjang without the crap (is it even possible?). This show is similarly formatted like morning kdramas, but for once I actually care about the side characters and their story. It's hellochloe's dream come true.

Spoiler In Words For Episode 5:

Due to complications after sugery, Daddy Eun is in endless pain. Because of this, Chae Ryung faints. 

Hyuk Gi and Wook Gi finds out that their parents not only took the compensation money, but the deposit for their house as well. They have no choice but to move out.

Jin Goo personally backs his marriage to Ae Ryung, but he still finds the family beneath his level. On the other hand, Ae Ryung finally breaks up with her lover (the director's son).

Mom* (at least, I think it is) goes to the bank only to find in shock that the account is empty. Ho Ryung who has finally arrived at the hospital blames Chae Ryung for all this. At the advise of Dr. Hong, Ae Ryung goes to meet Hyuk Gi. Daddy Eun asks for forgiveness from Hyuk Gi and Wook Gi who'd came to the hospital.

On the other hand, Ae Ryung who'd been hesitating about the marriage decides to propose to Jin Goo after seeing how he'd helped them settle Daddy Eun's hospital bills.

Spoiler In Words For IADD Ep 4

Jin Goo arranges for Daddy Ki Hwan to be transfered to his family's hospital, and daddy even accepts Dr. Hong's operation. Through Ae Ryung, Jin Goo finds out about her dad's predicament, and decides to go through with the arranged marriage.

Meanwhile, Hyuk Gi is mad that his parents seems to be more anxious on the prospect of getting financial compensation rather than mourning over their dead son. He tells Chae Ryung's family not to mention anything about money to his parents until the said case is throughly investigated, but Tae Soo's parents keep pushing for CR's family to settle the case financially.

In the end, despite Hyuk Gi's protests, his parents receives the financial settlement. They disappeared with the money and were nowhere to be found. At this time, Daddy Ki Hwan wakes up from the operation...

Spoiler In Words for IADD Ep. 2

Chae Ryung runs for her life, and while running she calls out for her dad (she's daddy's girl after all). He threatens her not to move a muscle and stay still like a good girl, but Chae Ryung, with her shaking hands tried to call 112 (~112 is the emergency no. for the police in South Korea). Dad manages to stand up and desperately tried to fight Duk Gi. Duk Gi's head hits the wall, and he faints. 

Dad used the opportunity to grab him by the collar, brings him all the way to the police station and says, "If you cause any harm to Chae Ryung in the future, I will not let you off this easily."

Meanwhile...

Ae Ryung tells XQ* (who has arrived at her doorstep) that she will contact him later when she has everything figured out. She blames him for getting impatient (couldn't you wait for just a little while?), to which XQ replies, "Compared to me, I think your father's more important to you huh..."

Chloe Says: Whoa. She sounds like a cold, cold woman...
