karenedThe brightest star in episode 14...
Who do you think was the brightest star in episode 14?
For me, it was him...
who shone in spite of the sorrowful darkness that filled those few minutes,
who took over from Shin Woo to be this episode's star,
who beat even Tae Kyung's sweet (though unoriginal) kiss.
Let's recap those heartwrenching moments...
Gomen gomen. I must have been thinking of the magic school bus, but it's not "magic bus".
It's "treasure bus" (보물버스). I'm lazy to edit it now, so do note ne!
Scene recaps from here.

I think the most painful part was when he asked "why"...his voice was quivering!!
And of course, the song 참좋은말 (aka I love you). What an irony!
I translated the song, which is a children's piece. But Jeremy changed the fourth line for Mi Nam.
사랑해요 이 한마디 참 좋은 말
우리 식구 자고 나면 주고받는 말
사랑해요 이 한 마디 참 좋은 말
제르미도 그 얘에게 주고 싶은 말이 말이 좋아서 온종일 신이 나지요
이 말이 좋아서 온종일 일 맛 나지요
이 말이 좋아서 온종일 가슴이 콩닥콩닥뛴데요
사랑해요 이 한마디 참 좋은 말나는 나는 이 한 마디가 정말 좋아요
사랑 사랑해요"I love you" this one phrase. Such good words.
Words that our family exchange when we go to sleep.
"I love you" this one phrase. Such good words.
Words that Jeremy wants to give to that girl.These words are good and makes me delighted the whole day.
These words are good and makes me work keenly the whole day.
These words are good and makes my heart thump the whole day.
"I love you" this one phrase. Such good words.I really love this one phrase.
I love, I love you.
Really, if Shin Woo surprised me with his acting chops last episode, Jeremy did the same this episode. He was acting to cry and sing at the same time. And, in doing so, he had to act that he was pretending not to cry (so that fans won't feel weird over the radio). But he did it well! Hong Ki! Are you sure you're only 19??
I really like Jeremy's positioning in this drama. We have Tae Kyung as the proud, overbearing typical Korean lead, and Shin Woo as the soft, gentle and understanding typical Korean supporting lead. Where does Jeremy fit in?
He's the symbol of simplicity. Why, he wears all his emotions on his face!
His love for Mi Nam is simple. He just loves her as he/she is, regardless of his/her gender. When Mi Nam turns out to be a girl, that makes things even easier! When Mi Nam's upset, he'll cheer her up. When he wants to have fun, he'll call her along. When he doesn't understand, he goes up to her and ask. Simple and direct. No waiting for the perfect moment, no waiting till it becomes an urgent situation. Our poor poor poor Jeremy!!!
I don't really feel good that the screenwriters seemed to be rushing everything. Let's count what was resolved/about to be resolved in the last two episodes:
1) The end of Shin Woo's secret love for Mi Nam
2) The at-long-last realisation by Tae Kyung of his love for Mi Nam
3) The end of Jeremy's once forbidden love for Mi Nam
4) The downfall of Princess Liar Yoo He Yi
5) The meeting between Mi Nam and Mo Hwa Ran (that sickoo!)
6) The result of Reporter Kim's probbing
Don't you think it's way too much? And then we have the real Mi Nam returning. His character is totally undeveloped and I doubt there'll be time to do so given that there's still so much the final episodes have to resolve. That probably means that Go Mi Nam will be a flat character whom we know little about except those little facts other characters let us in on.
I mean, a totally new band member, who Manager Ma says is totally different in character from Mi Nyu, join ANJELL. How would President Ahn react to the sudden change in personality? The fans? How would he fit in when so much has happened between his band mates and his sister? Throw in the fact that he doesn't seem to be a nice person (don't like the bad boy vibes I get from that short scene). It's such an interesting situation, but will not get fully worked on.
18 episodes would be a good length. Heck! Give us SEASON TWO! President Ahn, make yourself heard!!
Lastly, a friend requested for this so here you, lyrics to FT's quite old song, featuring Lee Hong Ki as lead vocal.
