Damn your self-sufficiency, Jin Jin! We almost had a piggyback ride there!

[dangermousie]

Ep 17 is just delightful and delicious so far. I don't love Thugboy/Ballerina any less but somewhere in the teens eps my love for Jin Jin/Kang Suk got to such proportions that they are easily tying for my favorite couple in the drama.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Also, nice to know Creeper is some sort of serial/multiple murderer.



She is totally teasing and wheedling him (about her debut name) and he is teasing her back!!!!!!!! And she gets her way! The workers, needless to say, are beyond shocked and the bosslady is all "she totally drags you by the collar". Heeeeeee.





He is all "she's got me talking to myself!"



Be careful, young man. That road lie Kang Ha's claws of hilarity (cap courtesy of dramabeans):



He is driving her to the club and she has to stop and get flowers for her sister to sell and running back she falls and trips.



I got all excited for a piggyback but JJ, being supremely self-sufficient, gets up and gets going. Cuuuuuuurse you!




He tells her she should be careful (grumbly concerned darling!) and she tells him she was running because she felt bad making him wait. Did I mention how much I adore the way he looks at her - completely drawn and tender and a little amused and so very intense.





And then she offers him a rose. His reaction: "What a gift for a man!" LOLOL.



Soo she tells him to take it as an expression of her feelings towards him.



His face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Ooops, she realizes how that can sound and backtracks explaining it's gratitude for taking her under contract.



More wheedling. He is all "it's becoming a habit." Ahhahahahahahaha.






Part 2 of Yoon Seo's stalking strategy - show up at Dong Ah's hovel communal house and do his laundry. To the shock of his housemates and the delight of Granny who runs the place and views DA as her real grandson.




Dong Ah gets the shock of his life. Heeee.



He drags her out and is all 'don't come' and she calmly tells him she plans on coming until he believes her. Tough!YS is awesome. (If I were her, no matter how good his reasons for doing so, if a guy kept telling me to go away, I'd lose my temper and tell him to enjoy his miserable life without me and contemplate my screwing a bunch of hot rich guys. But I am not YS :P)





Next day - the gal is bonding with his nephew. You are caught, Dong Ah, might as well just give up!





You have no idea of the kind of joy I have watching Creepy get upset and implode because Jin Joo didn't die after all like he planned. Tears of glee! And I can't wait to see his reaction to finding out his stalking victim wants to marry his (awesome) bro and not him.



YS' lovely mother jumps to the inevitable conclusion that YS' insistence on Kang Suk and not Creeper is because YS and KS slept together (Momster, have you seen the brothers and compared them? YS' insistence could be simply because she isn't blind. Or because she's in love with a penniless bouncer and KS is protecting her, but you don't need to know that). She calls her daughter a whore and smacks her. OK, lady, leaving aside slut-shaming, they would have been engaged at the time, with full sanction of the families for said engagement! Awesome YS lies and says it's the truth. Heeee.




KS' Dad confirms with KS that he and YS are in love and awesome KS (OK, "awesome" is his official appellation from now on) lies and says that yes of course.



Tbh, he probably also enjoys thwarting his evil hyung.



I have no idea what the backstory between Dong Ah and his deadbeat father is, but the father must really have been awful for DA to hate him so. Hmmmm.
