It's official - AGD is a sickness and I count days until I have another episode...



Note: I have no caps of the shoe scene because it made me too upset and :(

I love Do Jin and Yi Soo so much it should be illegal. The wicked wicked chemistry doesn't hurt.












The thing with the shoes was horrible and the outcome broke my heart (though I think Do Jin was entirely right to give up and be angry)



But I think, ultimately, it ended up being necessary for the relationship to be viable in the long term - if he didn't leave, she'd never realize she loved him because why would she - he was always there so there was no need for her to come to grips with her feelings or to realize she misses him. And the fact that this forced her to chase him (quite a contrast with her lack of agency with Tae San) makes them much more emotionally equal.














But until then, oh woobies, how they hurt!























The scene with Yoon and Maeri just killed me. The look on her face when she sees him run across the street. And how terrified he is for her and it transfers into anger (which is fed by the fact that he loves her but thinks he can't have her) and just make out already before I expire of the UST! I am not normally big on age difference in couples, but here it just works. Sure, Yoon is almost old enough to be her father, but they are so compatible it hurts (and if you have to go for an older dude, you can do way way worse than Kim Min Jong!) You know, a part of me wants Maeri to give up, to make Yoon chase - but you know he never will, so she just has to chisel at that wall of self-sacrifice the guy built around him, because he is so worth it.
























God, that final scene! When she sends him a text (and she is so brave, to keep trying to contact him after rejection - but then he was so utterly emotionally open with her and deserves someone who is equally willing to put herself out there) and he doesn't find out until hours later and he comes and his face when he sees she left! Only then there she is. And his note - oh my God, his note - he is putting himself out there again, in part because her persistence wore down his new walls, but in part because he loves her so damn much. And then...she kisses the glass and his face and OMFG I need next week here!

If it weren't because I don't have the time or patient to watch this I would since it seems Jang Dong Gun looks extremely delicious and angsty...

These pics spam are very informative to me ;) I wouldn't mind more spoilers as I don't think I can watch it... :S :)

I also love the actress so it's a nice couple!!! Didn't know about this drama honestly, which makes me feel bad for being secluded in my Arashi world (well, not really XD)

Nothing wrong with the fun that is Arashi :)

But yes, this drama is full of hotness. Mmmmm.

Yoon/Maeri are the center of my attention! Move over, other characters!

Also, the cheating douchebag/cold wife pairing is growing on me. They're the most intriguing. WHY DID THEY MARRY?! I'm dying to know. At first I thought she was a loving bride who grew to despise her husband after all the cheating... but after the wedding flashback we see she was already mad at him back then and HE looked happy to be married. OH? I'm also wondering why they never went through divorcing after 10 years of a crappy marriage. -- I really liked the serenade scene. It reminded me of the Oska/Seul pairing in Secret Garden (even though I barely remember anything).

I am shocked there are no Yoon/Maeri MVs out there - I need it!

Yeah, Min Sook/Jang Rok have a verrrry odd marriage.

I am waiting for for more subs to be out but I adore Lee Jin Wook so I will definitely check it out.

I'm not watching this, but I swear, everytime I see a picture of that famous person (Do Jin here?), I think I'm looking at Vic Zhou.

OMG, I never noticed this before, but you are right - Jang Dong Gun looks like an older version of Vic Zhou. I can't unsee!

A Gentleman's Dignity is so freaking addicting! We know Do Jin and Yi Soo are the main OTP, but I LIVE AND BREATHE Yoon and Me Ahri! OMG, can they be ANY more perfect for each other?! They have me so emotionally invested and I will just curl up in a ball and cry like a baby if they don't get their much-deserved happily ever after. Yoon wants Me Ahri so much, but those freaking external factors/noble-idiocy are so in the way! I'm impatiently waiting for the line Kim Min Jong mentioned from last weeks press conference- "if we are meant to be, our love will happen." My imagination is running wild with me now!

I'm now grateful to be teaching summer school for the next 5 weeks. Keeps me preoccupied!

Yes, I am madly curious as to what is going to break through Yoon's barrier. It needs to happen soon, for my sanity!

I admire Writer Kim for being a genius. How does she come up with all these ideas ? XD

It's amazing how a drama about 40 somethings with such a simple plot has me so hooked.
Also there was a lot of angsting in the 2 episodes but I trusted this show to keep it contained and not drag it out and lo and behold they didn't drag it out.
Plus we all know Yi Soo was due for a wake up call because she just wouldn't get it.
I feel so bad for Do jin when he realizes she din't really wear the shoes for him. Like his face :( He was like a kicked puppy.
And the end when sticks that note on the window he looks like a hopeful puppy. They're both so good at showing how they feel without saying a word.

I hope Yoon/Me Ah Ri get together soon bec I can't take her poor heart being broken over and over! And poor Yoon-ie! Loneliest boy out of the four :\

I think the fact that they have such a seasoned writer and cast really shows.

Yeah, the way his face went from elation to heartbreak in about two seconds in the shoe scene. And that end -- swoon.

I am very curious as to how Yoon/Maeri will ever get together - what on earth will be capable of breaking through his shell?
