meganbmoore | kdrama: City Hunter eps 17-18 (Reply)

Did anyone else feel like they watched two hours of filler this week? I mean, some of it was fun filler, but mostly filler. I think the writers got to ep 13 and realized they only had about two episodes of plot left, and then used most of what they could before the end by ep 16. I'm actually told that there's a team of writers writing these last few eps? Which would explain ehy it doesn't seem to remember things that happened before or how characters and their plotswere set up.

In particular...uhm...I don't necessarily mind fewer OTP scenes because I feel that's been largely resolved and pretty much all that's left is is the ending (though I do think they may have shot themselves in the foot by reaching that point with EVERYTHING in the show with a third of the series to go) but I DO mind that there was so little Na Na. And, seriously, she was rather...passive? Like, what the hell? Do the writers even remember what her character is like? And...uhm...i'm sure everyone loved the aaaquarium stuff, but I was mostly pissed that the writers went for a Damsel in Distress set up and Vampiric Flunkie was all "oh, she put up a good fight" but WE DIDN'T SEE IT. I'd rather see her fight and lose than not see the fight at all.

HOWEVER! The Yoon Sung/Da Hye scenes (and Da Hye being blinded by Prosecutor's prettiness-forget the personality [though I do like him a lot] I just want him to lounge around on couches thinking very intently while wearing a black shirt all the time. Or make out with Sae Hee.) were priceless. i mean, I kind of think that the Secret Daddy plot was added late in the game because they needed more twists? But I don't care because it introduced the possibilitiy of Yoon Sung being a ridiculously overprotective brother. (Teen boys will be dangling off rooftops as he demands a detailed explanation of their intentions.) Though, really, the only thing that makes me think it may have been planned from the start is that they really are exactly alike once you take age, gender and lifestyle into account.

And Yoon Sung's fashion! I so wanted him to go out in public in those polka dot pants. And his fail!disguises that people actually buy!

Also, I swear he and Prosecutor are just playing with each other now.

Anyway, I still love the show and all? The last few episodes have just been a serious let down after the first 2/3, despite good bits. I hope we're in for an amzing finale.
