Cinderella's sister episode 7

[alexandral]

I need subs to analyze this properly, but , In one phrase: How adorable can Jung Woo get???

Also: Oh no they didn't??? Or did they? It suspiciously looks as if Ki Hoon and Hyo Sun have spent a night together. I honestly hope they didn't because in kdrama world this equals marriage. And there is no way Ki Hoon will marry Hyo Sun???







As everyone else, however, I loved how Ki Hoon told Hyo Sun off. This was well overdue, but will it not be too late? 24 is a little old for any serious character changes?

One other thing came to my mind - I thought that Hyo Sun is an exact copy of Eun Joo's mom, only younger. She also has everything in a way of superficial charm and good looks, but doesn't really want to do anything to support herself. All Hyo Sun is looking for is a man to take care if her, poor Ki Hoon most likely. And she doesn't really love the man she has chosen, it is all because she decided that he is someone who would be able to look after her.

Hyo Sun is exact copy of Eun Joo's mom, only younger.

Totally.

Regarding HS/KH - Since she was fourteen, HS has been calling KH "Mine". I honestly don't think HS is in love with KH at all. She just likes that he's "hers" and that he can take care of her.

Regarding KH yelling at HS - It's about time someone told her to wake up and start doing something. She thinks everything will come to her if she pouts or pushes (like ballet - never practices but expects leads), so it's good that someone finally told her you have to work for what you want.

Regarding JW - he's adorable and sweet. The fact that he and EJ have a past and that she was fond of him when they were younger makes the triangle more real for me. EJ sees JW as someone familiar - someone who actually wants her and came to her - so, if she develops even a hint of feelings for him, it will make sense.

Regarding a possible KH/HS hookup - It's doubtful. The preview also showed them in a car and it looked like HS was moving in for a kiss -but KH had a 'whoa' kind of reaction.

Okay, I was kind of disturbed by those shots as well, but I calmed down and thought about it logically and they honestly don't make any sense, especially since he's wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he answered HS's knock at the door. Maybe she came in and cried herself to sleep, so he let her sleep on his bed? Or maybe she's just freaking out about the news re: her dad and he's letting her cry out her frustrations? Either way, for KH to do anything with HS at this point would be extremely out-of-character - only last episode he was giving her a well-deserved dressing down, like the good oppa that he is, and now ignoring his feelings for EJ and jumping into bed with HS?

(It's definitely some clever editing for the preview though - well done to the promo team!)

JW continues to be the most adorable thing in the entire world. I really liked the parallels in this ep, where EJ follows Daesung all the way to the factory because she honestly has no idea what to say to him, and back in ep 5 or 6 where JW follows her all the way to the beach, radiating good feelings but again, not sure what to say. And then next ep (you watched the long preview for ep 8, yes?) where he not only follows her, but scoops her up in his arms and just runs like a big, dorky gazelle, grinning at everyone and everything and be still my heart!

I'm sad that JW will be hurt by the way the OTP will play out in the end, because I think he's the perfect secondary guy for EJ, and I love how they keep showing him doing the things KH used to be able to do for EJ but can no longer due to her coldness, his schemes and their frustrated feelings, whereas JW can just turn the shoes and hunt her down at night and he does all of those things happily. (Did he give her his bank book at the end of ep 7? If so...that kind of makes me love him EVEN MORE).

And I'm with you on HS being a mirror of the mother. You can probably argue that part of the mother's ways have rubbed off on her but HS wouldn't have turned out that way if she wasn't already like that; EJ has strived all her life to turn out the exact opposite to her mother, and again, the roles the sisters fill are informed by the choices that they make.

You know what's really weird? I am realizing I am not shipping anyone in this drama even though I love watching KH/EJ interactions because they are so layered and intense.

I am not shipping KH/EJ because both are too damaged and not (I believe) deserving yet or capable yet of being in a relationship - I just don't see how they'd function together in a long run.

Not shipping KH/HS or EJ/JW because the maturity level is so different, with one party being eons more grown-up than the other. Also, in EJ/JW's case, JW is too nice a guy to be pulled into a relationship with damaged mess that is EJ.

I love watching their interactions yet.
