I continue to have zero interest in Lady Vet but I did love when she found him in her clinic and matter-of-factly stitched him up, without asking him any questions (as he was so terrified she would - what a horrible life he lives when he has to hide in a vet clinic like an animal himself). Plus, the irony, within kdrama stereotypes, of heroine hurting him and secondary girl fixing him. And of course, Undaddy on the phone is all raging about him not killing an agent but, let's face it, even if it wasn't Nana, he is not Undaddy, he will not kill an innocent. He doesn't even want to kill the bad guys. If he is that good brought up by the psycho vengeance-driven drug lord, I wonder how well-adjusted and wonderful he would have been, if he was left to grow up with his mother.
And, of course, Nana is horrified that she shot another person (if only she knew who it was!!!) but it's Yoon Sung's nightmare which gets me, with the dychotomy with Undaddy. For the record, it makes me perversely hopeful about the ending - they wouldn't have 'given it away' early.
Nana is so jealous he spent the night out (and seeing him with Lady Vet in the morning). I only she knew!
The scene on the shooting range was so creepy - it's as if everyone is being trained to shoot at him and as if she's shooting at him again.
Stop grabbing YS' shoulder, everyone! Yes, that means you, Prosecutor! Before I go medieval on you (my investment in YS is kinda unhealthy at this point, I am sure you figured out)..
That goes double for Undaddy who slaps him and repeatedly hits his wound. WTF!!! Oh, how I want you to die, monster! YS says he still wants in for the revenge because these people killed his father, but I am pretty sure he only wants to stay in to make sure Undaddy doesn't go on a killing spree. Also, Undaddy's chilling unconcern for the lives of innocents in his way - ugh.
The whole sequence where he takes her in his car to cheer her up (and earlier she thought he was insensitive but he was just so relieved he is out of harm's way) and they get caught in the rain and go to his apartment and the way he looks at her when he sees her just in his shirt (which is large enough on her to almost be a dress) - worshipful and stunned (how can she not realize what he feels) - oh my God. Their chemistry is insane. And I love how there is so much tenderness in him...
And of course, the phone rings and interrupts (I thought I was going to die) and how symbolic - it's Undaddy.
Lee Min Ho is so gorgeously masculine and this ep, what with him running around pale and wounded (with added necessitated shirtlessness) really amps that quality up to 11. Nana has a hell of self-control, I'd have been jumping him like a wild hyena. Also, I love that in this drama, wounds stay, they don't go away asap.
Oh no, of course he runs to rescue Nana (though honestly, I can't see him letting an innocent, even a stranger, drop to their death). I am not worried about them surviving (duh!) but I am terrified that Undaddy has seen. I have a dreadful feeling about this. Also, Prosecutor, go DIAF. You supposedly owe Nana but you just let her drop to her death because you need to catch the bad guy? I can see why your ex dumped you).
I am beyond obsessed with this drama.

Date: 2011-06-19 02:18 am (UTC)As for Prosecutor, I hope the little exchange between him and YS right before they both bolt towards bad guy/Nana respectively is because he knows who the City Hunter is after their skirmish on the stairwell and knows Nana will be saved. There was a bit of "I got this, you save the girl" in that look. We'll see.

Date: 2011-06-19 03:53 am (UTC)It just delivers everything I'd like to see, and it's been such a long time since I watched a drama like this... Now I have to wait until every episode airs... omg. I'd like to wait until it finished so I can enjoy it more watching all in one go, but I don't think I can wait.
I will try, though. Meanwhile I'll keep myself entertained with New Tales of Gisaeng. It gets better and better with each episode. But my OTP is no more.. :( I shipped Grandpa/Grandma. They were so cute!

And seriously, OTP of the year ♥!

Date: 2011-06-19 11:26 am (UTC)I used to find Sexy Prosecutor seriously hot before but now he's starting to get on my nerves. He's all pissed that there's a man interested in his ex-wife but he doesn't have a problem with always leaving her alone like a fool, only seeking her out when he feels a bit down? And is it me or is he really kind of ruthless? I didn't expect him to be this rough or skilled at fighting. Granted YS is wounded, but he still had trouble getting rid of him in the staircase fight.
He's really starting to get unlikable. I'm pretty sure he didn't even think of Nana when he went rushing off at the end of the episode. When he sees her next he'll be properly grateful that she's alive but he's not emotionally invested enough to think of her above a fleeing suspect. And I hope she'll act a bit cooler around him as well. I know she's all about duty but knowing you were left to die by the representative of the legal authorities can't be pleasant all the same.
About the glance he and YS share, I interpreted it at them thinking "Who's gonna get there first?". Only YJ was thinking of the corrupt politician and YS was thinking about Nana.
And I'm pretty sure UnDaddy saw it all. Saw how YS rushed to save the bodyguard instead of going after the target and callously leaving her to fall as so much smallfry. There's also something about Nana losing an earring at YS's place. If they have Undaddy find it (as opposed to have YS find it and keep it as a romantic gesture), he'll be putting 2 and 2 together pretty soon about YS's feelings for Nana. More angst for us.
I might be in the minority but I don't want Nana to find out about YS's alias as the City Hunter too soon. I'm enjoying the Clark Kent/Lois Lane dynamic too much and I love the conflict it provides. There's 20 episodes and we're not yet halfway into the drama so we've got time.

Date: 2011-06-19 08:00 pm (UTC)Yes, in the last couple of eps, I had it up to here with Prosecutor - he was a horrible husband, and in ep 8 he was willing to let Nana die to get to his goal. He has a lot more in common with Undaddy than either man realizes. YS has this deeply-ingrained humanity in him which even Undaddy's brutal upbringing was never able to eradicate (I honestly believe he would have gone to rescue the bodyguard even if it wasn't Nana but let's say Eunah or one of the other Blue House bodyguards) but Prosecutor is all about goal and forget the human collateral damage. (Undaddy's dismissal of killing an innocent bodyguard as worth it because 20 yrs ago bad guys offed 20 Koreans is insane and shows how unselfreflective he is - doesn't he realize it makes him the same as the bad guys?)
I cannot wait for YS and his mother to reunite properly, though I am sure Undaddy will try to keep it from happening because the second YS finds out the truth, he will be done with Undaddy.

Yes, that is making me worry like mad. I didn't even think of his finding the earring btw, which is more likely than YS' keepsake scenario (because he lives with her, he's surrounded by her stuff, why would a keepsake be that significant?) Oh God. I don't want YS to have to push Nana away to protect her because it will mess him up so horribly and hurt Nana too.
See, I want Nana to find out his identity asap so she can coo over his wounds and we can get to the comfort part of the whole hurt/comfort part. I mean, I'd rather she took care of his nasty and inflamed wound before he got sepsis and not Lady Vet :)
YS was so very vulnerable this ep, it killed me.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-20 08:20 am (UTC)This is giving me ideas. What if he does have to push her away and chooses lady Vet as a cover? I mean, she would be perfect. Nana already thinks they're togheter and she's kind of in on his secret. She also seems to enjoy riling up her ex with her passive agressive attitude (you go girl, He treated you like you were nothing and didn't deserve you).
I'd bleed for Nana but I'm sure the writers would make YS suffer as well by maybe witnessing some more closeness between Nana and the Prosecutor (although they'll have to work hard to make me like him again after his stunt in ep 8). I'm all for some more YS angst.
I agree that YS would have saved any person that went over the rail. He's a very decent person. He's a character we can admire and respect ( plus he's hot and cool, which doesn't hurt). Perversely, that almost makes me want him to do something for Nana that he wouldn't do for anyone else, something that would shake him a bit. Almost.
Did you ever imagine a team Undaddy + Prosecutor as his son? Now, that's someone he could make into a ruthless killing machine IMO.
Re-hurt comfort.....I wondered if I'd imagined that his wound wasn't healing the way it should. It actually could be the way Nana will find out he's the CH: him collapsing, or delirious with fever at night and she finding the wound and putting two and two together. It'd be a little too early for my taste but I wouldn't say no to the hot scene that's sure to follow.
Re-YS as vulnerable, yeah, it killed me too. And it also surprised me. I wasn't expecting to see so much vulnerability from him so early in the drama. I like that the drama is both predictable (Nana being put back on duty could be seen from miles away for exemple) and surprising. Keeps me on my toes.

Date: 2011-06-20 12:58 pm (UTC)Undaddy should have kidnapped Prosecutor. The guy would have loved to cut his swath through people he viewed as bad, collateral damage be damned.
I do think YS is already doing a lot for Nana he wouldn't be for anyone else - he might have shot to wound back in ep 7 (he's a deadly shot) if she wasn't Nana. I guess her father could have been somehow involved in the murder in 1983 and he'd give up revenge on him or something, but that's far-fetched and plus I'd like Nana to remain an untainted thing in his life.
Yeah, I am no doctor, but that wound doesn't look good. And all the exertion on it cannot be good for it either. So I'd love for your scenario to happen, though I agree, it's a bit early. Though what do I know - it could just be makeup team being overzealous and he's healing just fine :P

Date: 2011-06-21 10:27 am (UTC)Undaddy + Prosecutor = Deadly Emotionless Duo
Yeah, I agree he's been doing a lot for Nana already. But that didn't cost him much before the shooting incident. That really threw him. Btw, did he even have a gun with him at that time? I didn't see one but I guess he could have had one on his person somewhere.
I would also like the idea of Nana being an untainted thing in his life but I don't think the writers are going that route. Nana isn't portrayed as 100% pure: she has feelings of hate for Prosecutor's dad and she wants justice/revenge for her father. I saw someone speculating on Soompi that she might actually decide to join the "Let's get revenge Team". I don't think it will come to that (she's too decent and honorable a person) but she's not an angel either. But in the promo poster you posted recently she's clearly pictured as a kind of Angel/Divine being sent to save YS from perdition. So I don't know. We'll have to see.
And I'm getting worried that Nana might kick the bucket at the end. I'm 99% sure that YS won't die because the drama has been described as a kind of prequel, a sort of "Origin story" for the manga City Hunter, and he would need to be alive at the end of the drama. But killing his OTP thus giving him even more incentive to catch criminals in the future sounds like something that could happen in a K-drama.
*Crossing fingers. It won't happen. It won't happen. It won't happen. Please drama gods, give me a HEA*.
On the other end, an open ending à la A Man Called God would kind of piss me off as well.
New episode tomorrow! Can't wait.

Date: 2011-06-19 05:02 pm (UTC)I think that episodes 7 and 8 have been my favourites till now. The chemestry between NaNa and him is off the screen (Btw, Please, Nana get a clue already, I need to see you being the one all concerned about his wounds and stuff. Also, the kiss? Is loooooooooong overdue. If this is about money I'll send you some so you can pay the contract fee, no worries). The vet-chick was awesome in this episode, btw. I like her being his nurse for the time being. Prosecutor is an ass. Dude, get a vacation already. You need to disconnect from work a little and worry aboout your private life which is a mess. Undaddy..just, arrg. I hope you redeem yourself at last saving YS or something 'cause you're getting on my nerves really bad. That's about it.
In conclussion, SHOW= my crack. Lee Min Ho= I approve of you being shirtlesness to your heart's content. Also, I may or may not have a thing about your back. Just 'cause, you know, it seems to never end. Nana & YS= OTP that rules all other OTPs.
