I am Legend: episodes 5-6

19 Aug

This week’s set of episodes were on the disappointing side for us only in the sense that there was practically zero progress in the storyline. 

Episodes 5 and 6 did confirm one thing for us- we officially can’t wait to see Seol Hee’s ex husband and his girlfriend get what they deserve! Oh it was good to watch them squirm when they received the x-rated package; we hope it only gets worse because this couple is so repulsive and arrogant to watch on screen and just the thought of them losing their first ever case to the likes of Seol Hee is too good to miss. Hehe.  

Being the romantic saps that we are we can’t wait for this OTP to get together as a couple; however that said we really do like the slow development of their relationship- we can’t resist a bit of romance from a distance especially when you know that it has a happy ending, so we are currently content with watching Tae Hyun broodily stare from the sidelines and secretly help Seol Hee when he can.  Also from Seol Hee’s prospective we think It would have been totally unbelievable if Seol Hee suddenly went from loving her husband to feeling absolutely nothing for him, so watching the scene where she went to warn her ex husband really did highlight the complicated emotions that she’s going through and definitely adds that realism that is often missing from K-dramas.

Other noteworthy thoughts:

The Madonna band finally got to perform live in a proper venue- yay! So glad that the music in the drama isn’t cheesy or annoying, plus the director uses it so well- their performance was great.

Ji Wook’s mother is NAAAAASSTY. Seriously is she not the epitome of an evil mother in law in a K-drama? Just when we thought she couldn’t get worse, they wheel her out in the next episode with something even crueler to say. It’s unlikely to happen but we would love it if this old hag got some form of punishment as well, preferably with rotten fruit or a bucket of water…we’re not fussy really.

Ran Hee got her hair yanked out by Hwa Ja- thank you; we’ve been waiting for someone to give that woman a beating from practically episode 1. Muhaha.
