Jang Hui Bin – Is she pure evil? Or does she act out of love?

My posts on the drama Dong Yi (MBC 2010) are still the most read posts on my blog. And here’s an interesting  question about Jang Hui Bin …

Dong Yi, MBC, 2010, the villain, Jang Hui Bin

Hi, i’m from malaysia and i just finished watching dong yi, i know im late but i had to take my time because i had to concentrate on my studies. i dont know where to post my questions as there are no discussion about Jang Hui Bin in your blog. i am very confused by this character. while i love her 3 dimensional character, im still confused by how she can choose to commit to henious acts and the same time, claiming that she did it out of love for the king. how could she say that? she seemed to set her eyes on power from the very beginning, even before she was made a concubine. how can she blame the king when it was actually she was the one who made the choices? i desperately need to discuss this with someone but my mather has not finish watching Dong Yi so i have no one to discuss this with.  whitevenusandmars Continue reading “Jang Hui Bin – Is she pure evil?

All About Eve Episode 20 Final

So here we are at the final episode. I’ve loved watching this drama (YET AGAIN) but I do have a few complaints about this episode though! First of all, everyone seems to be SO FORGIVING towards Young Mi after everything she’s done. She even tried to physically harm (murder?) Joo Hee, but now that she’s disappeared everyone says, ‘oh well never mind! Forgive and forget.’ And then there’s Hyung Chul and Sun Mi’s relationship – It’s been so innocent all the way through. TOO innocent, I think! We could have been given a bit more at the end ….  Continue reading “All About Eve Episode 20 Final” »

All About Eve Episode 19

 Well this is tough. We start with a death and end with an attempted suicide. Young Mi as always covers up her feelings and carries on as if nothing has happened. This horrifies her colleagues but she seems to want to be punished and so wallows in the nasty comments and dirty looks that she gets from them. But then she only has herself to blame. This kind of feels like the final episode to me as towards the end Young Mi finally reaches out to the people she’s wronged. But what’s done is done and she can never make things better.   Continue reading “All About Eve Episode 19” »

All About Eve Episode 18

Finally, thanks partly to Woo Jin, Sun Mi and Hyung Chul manage to work out their differences and gets back together. But things are going very badly indeed for Young Mi. Her ex, In Soo, gets out of prison and comes looking for revenge. Woo Jin is still in denial and thinks Young Mi will want to go away and start a new life with him. But of course Young Mi wants nothing to do with this idea. However, when In Soo turns up, Woo Jin has to step in and save Young Mi’s life… Continue reading “All About Eve Episode 18” »

All About Eve Episode 17

Woo Jin is starting to confuse me. Why is he putting himself through all this misery? Before, he DIDN’T KNOW what Young Mi was really like. So he stood up for her when others made accusations against her. That was admirable. Naive. But admirable – although he should have believed Sun Mi and his mum who had his real interests at heart. But now he DOES KNOW what she is capable of – she has even attempted murder. And yet HE STILL wants her back. And he’s prepared to cover up what she did. Surely he doesn’t believe that she will ever stop lying. All I can do is shake my head and shout at the screen.

Sun Mi is irritating too now. Why doesn’t she JUST TELL Hyung Chul how she really feels? And save all this misunderstanding? But she doesn’t say anything and so their relationship is now on the rocks.  Continue reading “All About Eve Episode 17” »

All About Eve Episode 16

Young Mi’s jealousy of Sun Mi is really starting to get out of control now. And when it looks like Sun Mi might get a promotion thanks to Joo Hee’s help, Young Mi turns her anger on Joo Hee and even puts her life in danger. But Young Mi is getting careless and people are starting to see what she’s really like. Woo Jin is still in a mess and so Sun Mi carries on neglecting Hyung Chul to look after him. Hyung Chul has been patient so far but he can’t keep waiting for ever.  Continue reading “All About Eve Episode 16” »

All About Eve Episode 15

 Poor Hyung Chul gets neglected as Sun Mi concentrates more and more on Woo Jin’s break down. And although I feel bad for Woo Jin I really wish he’d pull himself together! He’s upsetting his mum even more drinking every night and since she tried to warn him about Young Mi in the first place, I think he should have the decency to accept that she was right and stop wallowing in self pity now! He knew how upset she was when he started dating Young Mi and now he’s making things worse by not being able to get over her. Joo Hee sees another side of Young Mi that she doesn’t like so much and gets a taste of her hard character. No one is safe from Young Mi but at least we can see that no matter what, she doesn’t seem to be able to manipulate Hyung Chul.  Continue reading “All About Eve Episode 15” »
