I was quite disappointed with this episode . Mainly because Yu-jin didn't believe Min-hyung when he said he was Joon-sang. As fed up with Sang-hyuk as I already am, this episode made me dislike him even more. He was so bad to make Yu-jin promise to never leave him even if Joon-sang did come back alive. As for Yu-jin's mother, I just don't understand. A few episodes back, Yu-jin was in tears telling her mom about how she's caught in the middle between MH and SH. She told everyone that she doesn't love SH. I know her mom means well, but doesn't she see that her daughter is unhappy when she's with SH?

Think of it from Yujin's mom's point of view.
A thing called "love" could be a fickle thing indeed.
Her daughter was with Sanghyuk for ages and all of a sudden, she claims to have fallen in love which could turn out to be a just a whim or a mere confusion because the guy's looks.
In most case when you're a parent you wish to see your child follow a "safer", more "familiar" path. Seeing her daughter tossing away 10-year-long relationship may look like such a risk.
-And Yu-jin could lose her firends and her family could lose face - if I may add a bit of Korean standard here.
(well, that just my thought)

I was so pist of in this episode. When Sanghyuk told Yujin that Minhyung was just pretending to be Joonsang to get her back I wanted to scream!! How could he do that?! He knows the truth and yet he won't say anything. He is one of the most selfish characters that I have ever seen. There is a part in the episode where he is telling Minhyung "if you really love Yujin you won't come near her anymore" something like that. And I'm thinking to myself "well if YOU really loved Yujin you would tell her the truth and let her go." I felt so horrible for Minhyung, he knows he's Joonsang but Yujin doesn't believe him. Well Sanghyuk did say something that made some sense. He told Minhyung that since he didn't remember anything of his past he was still Minhyung, until he remembers something than he will be Joonsang. He needs to get his memories back to prove to Yujin that he is indeed Joonsang.

So apparently the difference between Minhyung and Joonsang is that Joonsang didn't know who he was and was miserable - or at least that's when Minhyung seemed to be like Joonsang again, when he felt like that.
I'm so angry at Sanghyuk, telling JS/MH that he didn't deserve Yujin and I have to wonder how he could possibly think that. He loved/loves her and she returns the feeling. He got into the accident and lost his memories because he wanted to see her again (and return the gloves, but whatever). Other than when JS told SH that he was using her - but wasn't that resolved later on with SH (or was it just resolved with Yujin?).
I know they would have to bring about the revelation slowly. I mean, I wouldn't believe someone if they looked like my long lost/dead love and claimed for months to be someone else, but then after we broke up claimed to be him, I wouldn't believe him either. He just needs to give her proof. Find that picture, get his memories, explain why he lost his memories, get his mom to back him up, etc.

Sanghyuk was acting as if it were Minhyung's fault that he lost his memory. He was telling Minhyung that he had already made Yujin suffer enough, 10 years is a long time for her to suffer and she deserves peace. Poor Minhyung, he must feel so devastated after learning that he was lied to by his mother all these years, not knowing who he really is anymore, confused, and in love with a woman who now thinks his a liar. How sad!! Sanghyuk needs to get his a** kicked! Minhyung didn't make Yujin suffer, it's not his fault that all those things happen. And if Sanghyuk wanted to help Yujin he would tell her the truth. You know, I don't even think Sanghyuk loves Yujin. I think his just obsessed with her.

Now I can see it from Yu-jin's mom's point of view. I forgot that she doesn't know that Min-hyung is Joon-sang. I can see why she doesn't want her daughter to leave Sang-hyuk for Min-hyung because it is like throwing a 10-year relationship away just to be with some guy that she met and fell in-love with for a short time.
But Yu-jin already told her mom, Sang-hyuk's parents, and her friends that she couldn't marry Sang-hyuk in previous episodes so they already know where she stands.
What I can't understand is why Yu-jin is forcing herself to be with Sang-hyuk. I guess she's doing it because it would make her family and friends happy, but how about herself? Is she willing to sacrifice her own happiness and true love and be with a man she doesn't love for the rest of her life just to satisfy the happiness of her friends and family?

YU-GIN SHOULD KNOW BY NOW THAT SANG-HYUK IS SEMI-USING HER. I MEAN, HE JUST HAPPENS TO COME AND SAY THAT MH IS LYING ABOUT BEING JS IN THE ALLEY BY THE RESTAURANT. I THINK EVEN CHE-RIN HAS FIGURED IT OUT FOR HERSELF. WHAT'S TAKING YU-GIN SO DARN LONG? AND THEN THERE'S HER MOTHER. SHE DOES MAKE ME ANGRY! YUGINA? NO ODIGANI? HUH! I GET SO ANGRY. BUT MAYBE HER POINT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IF TRIED...

My pronouncements:
Yu-jin is infuriating.
Sang-hyuk is sick and selfish, possibly dangerous.
Min-hyung is senseless. Why doesn't he talk to his mother about his past? You'd think he'd have a million questions. It's like no one in this drama (well, any K-drama) ever bothers to talk things out. They just make their crazy assumptions and spout them to each other while the other person just stands there.
If only they would stop with all these complications and Sang-hyuk would get his comeuppance for what he's done, I'd be satisfied. I have a feeling that Sang-hyuk is either going to come to a bad end or is going to end up forgiving everyone and being forgiven in return. And that wouldn't make any sense to me.
It'd be even worse if Yujin "forgave" him by marrying him. Dump that sack of loser, Yujinna!

Nobody has mentioned the measuring for Yujin's wedding gown. Took maybe a total of 3-1/2 minutes... which is about how long it would take me to poke Sangkuk's eyes out and run lovingly into Joonsang's arms..
Isn't she's about the most pitiful image of a bride-to-be!?

LOL! Now, Kathleen, do you really think Joonsang wants to marry an eye-poker-outer? Ha! I just noticed that the "wink" icon looks like Sanghyuk with an eye poked out.
Only, on second thought, he wouldn't be smiling.

LOL to you too. But you know Lucy, Yujin does such a great job of keeping her mouth shut, she wouldn't have to tell Jangsoon about the eye-poking routine. He could just assume that the doofus poked out his own eye in yet another attempt to win back the love and respect that he imagines Yujin has for him.
Hee-hee! Yes, he would go that far. "Yujin, how can you leave me now that I'm blind? Wait, he's not Joonsang, I'm Joonsang! Yujin? . . . Yujin? "
IOh Lucy, it's probably a good thing that we're not writers for this drama... it would end in 4 episodes ... everyone would be blind, dead, or disabled and those who survived would probably be the the Major Doofus. And who wants to watch a MD destroy everyone?
thanks for contributing to my laughter today.
You're right Kathleen, I want a quick resolution and no more shilly-shallying, darn it! I have a low tolerance for moping. I have to say, though, that even though I no longer love Sang-hyuk (it was all about the looks, anyway), he is becoming very interesting. He is downright evil, IMO. Or mentally ill.
Still, we've seen enough of his troublemaking, and if we need to employ eye-pokery to get him to stop, well, so be it.
