Yes, it was a Smile, Donghae marathon…of course I only watched 5 episodes, but still… not bad. These episodes really play on situational irony to the max. Anna knows the truth, Kim Jun knows the truth, Sae Young and Tae Hoon know the truth, Pil Jae knows the truth, and even Hye Sook found out. Who doesn’t know? Do Jin,

It’s time for a flashback recap! Normally I do only currently airing series. I make exceptions like when I recapped My Prince. This is one of them. This is a 60 episode drama that aired on KBS2 back in 2005-06. The literal title is probably more like Sadness Goodbye or Sad Goodbye [슬픔이여안녕; seulpeumiya annyeong], but it’s also known as

Um…so…I guess this is the final episode. Previews at the end of this episode show the continuation of the story, but then they show a date of January 2015! Say what? We seriously have to wait that long? I don’t want to. Sigh.

We are gearing up for the end of the series with our loveable mentor revealing that the team he’s so fond of and has helped nurture are going to be his enemies. Say it isn’t so! This isn’t the first time something like this has happened in dramas, movies, or literature. In Unbreakable, Samuel L. Jackson’s character who has been

Saewa, Saewa, Saewa. Does she really think that pleading with Kim Jun to think of his family will really work? He’s spent most of his life being a bad husband and father thanks to being hung up on Anna. Now that Anna is back in his life, even though he’s tried starting over as a better hubby and father, his

Still no Yurine story. Of course, since he and Akagi are the main focus of the series, they are never short of scenes. This episode brings more focus on Tsutsui and her relationship with Akagi as she takes over as the liaison between the police force and ST since Kikukawa is being reassigned to a posh…desk job.

Just in time for episode 8. Oh well. This episode was kind of a cute one and brought in some unexpected help to Yurine in the form of the cold Matsuda who has seemed pretty bent on splitting our favorite team of misfits up. Cap’s theatrics still hold center stage which can be a bit grating. I wish Okada had

We have visited more in depth of most of the members so far save for our loveable over the top Cap and Yuki. We don’t delve too much into their characters or stories today, but the ending of this episode does leave room for Yuki’s story. Also, Yurine’s expression as she leaves…I wonder if we will get any of his

Kim Jun wakes up without amnesia? Go figure. I’m happy that he doesn’t, though, because that would have been really annoying. I do know that in some warped and twisted way Saewa does crave for a “perfect” family complete with a father since hers died when she was so young, but we know that when she’s pleading with Kim to

We take small break from focusing on one specific team member in this episode. Although, we mainly see only Aoyama, Akagi and Yurine. Sure the rest of the team can be seen, but the main focus is on our main three as established in the SP. Yurine…he seems even more clueless in this episode. Sure, he’s a note-taking perfectionist who
