A New Leaf: Episode 13 and 14 Review

I can't believe this drama is already coming to an end. I guess the chances of any possible romance between Ji Yoon and Seok Joo is almost close to zero. Sometimes I wonder if I watch this drama just for that :P But it has been a good drama so far, seeing how Seok Joo develops into a better person and how those who seem to be good might not be all that.

Looks like Seok Joo can't stay away from helping people with their cases. It's great to see he's representing the victims instead of being on the perpetrators' side which he usually would have been since Cha Young Woo undertakes those type of work. I never realised that private lawyers are the ones who represent the "guilty" parties. I suppose they have to, since the prosecution will represent the victims. 

Hotel King: Episode 19 Recap

Mo Ne can't believe her eyes and ears when Baek Mi Nyeo pronounces her no longer chairwoman of Ciel. Mo Ne declares she's still a major shareholder and will call for a board meeting to dismiss everyone who participated in the secret meeting. She stalks out of the room, leaving Jae Wan behind. Jae Wan glares at Baek Mi Nyeo and follows Mo Ne out. Mo Ne is standing outside, unmoving. Chae Kyung comes in time to see Mo Ne and Jae Wan's expressions. She says she won't comment on anything but both Jae Wan and Mo Ne were really late to figure this was going to happen. She goes off.

A New Leaf: Episode 12 Review

One good progress in this episode was the relationship between Seok Joo and his dad. They spend more time together and Seok Joo also doesn't hide the fact he's getting horrible headaches. I think those headaches could be a sign his memory might be returning soon. I only wish both father and son would admit what they're suffering from. How long can his dad keep dismissing his forgetfulness as something that's happening because he's getting older? And how long can Seok Joo continue to be around his dad without somehow revealing he had forgotten some important memory?

A New Leaf: Episode 11 Review

Seok Joo offered to be Jung Sun's lawyer to get her out of jail. Jung Sun had absolutely no idea that her uncles were investing in non-existent companies to pocket money behind the chairman's back. Thanks to Seok Joo's miraculous brainpower, he figured out a lot of the loopholes he created for Yurim without much of the company's information. I'm relieved Jung Sun decided to take Seok Joo's hand and go against the company. I suppose what motivated her was the knowledge she might have to stay 10 years in jail and not even end up with any shares after she's released. How crappy can it get?

Hotel King: Episode 18 Recap

Jae Wan recalls Mo Ne's words of love to him - I love you, I know what kind of person you are, Will you marry me, I'll protect you for the rest of your life, etc. Then comes her parting words - let's not see each other again. He looks at the sea, eyes filled with pain, heart breaking into many pieces.

Hotel King: Episode 17 Recap

We're back to where the story left off last episode. Jae Wan is taking the news of Roman and Director Baek's relationship much more negatively than Mo Ne. Mo Ne seems rather glad to be told of it, while Jae Wan thinks their revelation came a little too suspiciously late. He tries to corner both mother and son, but Director Baek manages to squash all his questions. Mo Ne also doesn't realise what is going on in Jae Wan's mind because she tries to diffuse the situation. Director Baek turns the whole situation around. She asks Jae Wan if he is on Mo Ne's side, implying that she and Roman are both behind Mo Ne.

A New Leaf: Episode 10 Recap

Poor Ji Yoon. She's pretty much beating herself up over the case she took. She wonder what's the point of even studying if she ends up letting a murderer get off with a lighter penalty. She cries so much, and clutches at her chest. If only your neighbour knew how you were suffering... perhaps he might comfort you.

Let's start with a brief introduction of the main characters. Lu Tian Xing is the CEO of Tian Ji Advertising and he's most sought after by companies to do their advertisements. Tian Ji's COO is Lance, also Tian Xing's childhood friend, a power-hungry and ambitious guy. Tian Xing is also supported by his butler, who shall be referred to as Uncle Fu. Tian Xing's role model is Tao Le Yuan, the founder of OZ Advertising. OZ Advertising is now run by Tao Le Yuan's sister, Tao Le Si (or more affectionately addressed as Tao Zi by her family and friends). Tao Zi has harboured a hatred against Tian Xing for a long time because his company often gets all the major advertisement contracts.

Thoughts: Hotel King Episode 16

The episode picks up from the last scene when Lee Jung Gu's true character is revealed to the world. Jae Wan makes sure that all the reporters write about the fiasco, and Soo An is pretty supportive of Jae Wan's actions. I'm guessing, out of Jae Wan's hoobaes, only Soo An knows what's really going on between Jae Wan and the VP since Jae Wan didn't tell Yoo Joon Sung (Alex's character) about his real intentions. Chae Kyung is another person who knows about it since she used her connections in the media industry to make sure the event gets written about exactly as it happened.

Guess who took their picture?

Hotel King: Episode 15 Review

The start of Mo Ne v2.0. She begins on her crusade to glory, fighting a losing battle with Jae Wan and the VP. Okay, perhaps a losing battle with Jae Wan since he's on the same side as her.

Mo Ne spits on VP's face and calls him a murderer. She also plays the recording Director Baek gave her, which Jae Wan destroyed immediately. It is obvious Mo Ne lost her trust in Jae Wan in this episode because he admitted to all the things which VP said he had done to Chairman Ah. However, our dear hero didn't tell his lady love it was all because he was conned into believing he was Chairman Ah's son. Instead, he says he targetted Mo Ne's dad for fun. Really? What a way to break someone's heart, babe. Despite Jae Wan's "crimes", Mo Ne still protects him from VP's stick-bashing.
