Please continue to use SPOILER warnings, since you guys will be chatting about a variety of dramas. This will enable everyone to ninja their way through comments, while only looking at the spoilers that they're interested in. 😉

Have fun chatting dramas, everyone!

Ah Trent - this comment made me break into a big smile. Shin-ae is really a rotten egg. She has become more fermented with time. So at this point I am talking to my screen "Why doesn't everyone just make up their minds?"

Autumn in my Heart ep. 6 SPOILERS ******************** Well, quite the tangled mess we have at this point. Of course, Shin-ae is still a snake, just with a shinier veneer of polish. She's feeding Eun-su a line about how it's better that Mom doesn't see her when she returns from the U.S. because it will throw her back into inconsolable depression, which I'm willing to wager is a total lie. Also, Shin-ae won't even face other mom (Kim Hae-soo, who raised her, and is desperate to see her). I understand the deep insecurity she probably still feels, but surely it's possible to deal with insecurity and not be a snake about it? Meanwhile, the Tae-seok self-improvement and reform project is proceeding apace, and Tae-seok is ready to declare that Eun-su is definitely 100% the woman for him, and he can't live without her, won't she please "be with him"? But! Oppa is also coming to the crashing realization that he loves Eun-su, and decidedly not as "little sister" (a realization that is helped along, in case it weren't obvious enough to everyone watching, by the observation of his colleague, who voices the above sentiment in so many words). Oppa gets a half-point for at least trying to be honest with Yumi and tell her which way the wind is blowing (although without naming Eun-su; which d'oh, it should be obvious to anyone with eyes, but whatever), but Yumi does not want to hear it, so (after she goes off-screen for a breakdown and hospital interlude, during which her mother shows up to genteelly read oppa for filth), we get the tearful heart to heart between Yumi and Eun-su in which Yumi confesses that she knows oppa doesn't burn for her (so to speak; Yumi wouldn't phrase it that way, of course) but she's in the "care and mutual respect is enough for me" camp and declares that she won't give him up. Eun-su (at Shin-ae's manipulative prompting) has earlier tried to disappear from the whole incipient melodrama in the middle of the night, but been thwarted by oppa. But all these whirling emotional bombs in the air, and Yumi is the last straw, pushing Eun-su (apparently) into consenting to Tae-seok's suit...they pull up to the hotel in front of oppa and commence HOLDING HANDS...duh duh DUH. Stay tuned, we can be sure oppa will not take this lying down.

Autumn in my Heart ep. 5 SPOILERS ******************** Alrighty then, the angst is heating up nicely... Tae-seok wants to kinda sorta do the right thing by Eun-su and get her job back, but of course his solution is just to have the manager fired ("reassigned"), and Eun-su is right to point out that he gets all bothered when he gets a scratch (something affects him), but he doesn't really care when someone else gets stomped on. But Tae-seok does seemingly like Eun-su for real (it's an open question whether it's due to her angelic face or because he likes her as a person, but let's give him the benefit of a doubt, right?), so it appears that maybe a path for the venerable (and rightly discredited) "bad boy reformed by love of a good woman" trope might potentially be in play...except we know that's not going to happen (or at least not all the way to the end), because this is going to get derailed pretty quickly. Of course it's kind of cliché how the core foursome ends up at the old house where Eun-su and oppa grew up, but let us not peer too closely at the coincidences our drama employs to place its pieces on the appropriate board, and this way we get lots of teary-face reminisces from Eun-su...there's the brief, happy "evening picnic" on the beach, where if you squint it looks like things could work out happily: oppa and his cute fiancée; Tae-seok at the initial stages of making nice to Eun-su. But no. Eun-su and oppa have to go out for the night walk, leading to the screamingly inappropriate piggyback ride back to the house (which fortunately no one observes), but then (drumroll, please) who should burst unexpectedly (but we were expecting her, actually) onto the scene but the villain of the piece (I anticipate): Shin-ae!! Who is looking very sleek and glamorous, of course, and who knows perfectly well that this whole "Eun-su is my cousin, actually" story is pure bullshit. And there our curtain rings down. Fireworks are a-comin, I reckon.

Autumn in my Heart ep. 5 SPOILERS ******************** So only about a quarter of the way into this episode, but do just have to pause to observe that these retro melo joints--yes, they are all about overloading on the emotions, but that said, they do manage to bring the feelz when they put it all together. The reunion of Eun-su and oppa is suitably dramatic and emotional, and (bonus!) Yumi and Tae-seok get to be bewildered bystanders. Also, we're going with the "cousins" line...like that's not going to eventually blow up in several faces. Whew.
