LUCKY ROMANCE -- EPISODE 10

Ever keep your eyes open when you kiss? Weeeiird...

It's confession time for this group, but it doesn't work out all that well. Gary confronts our heroine about her relationship with Soo Ho and gets put in his place. Dal Nim is freaking out because it seems she slept with Ryang Ha (Soo Ho's best friend). Soo Ho's dad goes ape on a potential romantic rival. A lot of cats are let out of a lot of bags as friends are clued in. Bo Nui even spurns Soo Ho's advances -- but he nixes that idea and kisses her...

I think she's trying to make life easier. Two men are rivals for your affection? No problem: cut them both loose. Except it screws up my matchmaking.� At least she let them down easy. It's clear she cares for both men. And she wants her life intact. To me this just makes her more desirable -- the whining heroine shtick is old-hat.

Hahaha! That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I...uh...I don't get it.

I'm not entirely sure why they focused on this. True, it helps people understand each other better, but I'm not sure how much of an effect it really had. It could be that they were recapping for people who turned in late. It just seemed an odd thing now that we're more than halfway through the series.

And as far as Dal Nim and Ryang Ha are concerned, I had jokingly shipped them because he always manages to annoy her every episode. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who saw a golden opportunity for hilarity. Though to be honest, I hope nothing happened. First times are no laughing matter.

Either the Smurfs ate here or someone's trying to tell us something...

It's still funny, and still ranks right up there with many of the best I've watched. While I didn't think much of it at the start, I've changed my mind. I really have to find out where this is going.
