My end's ok, thanks. The tremor didn't do damage.
I think at the start, Carl told Anna that they were to pretend they weren't related because Carl isn't supposed to bring family members with him on the trips.

I'm beginning to think Anna isn't the only one mentally disabled in this show.

I think that the accident was kind of expected after Anna drop the armonic after praying...I hope he doesn't go blind or cann't remember who he is...

It would be too funny if something major were to happen to Carl! It was touching that Saewa actually went with Carl to the ER and even called Bongi, I thought she'd bail.

Why couldn't Saewa tell future-evil-motherinlaw that she had to rush a friend to the hospital? Because she didn't want her to know that she was still in touch with her old boyfriend? Or just a plot convention to get evil motherinlaw to hate her? I've never seen a show where the motherinlaw was difficult AND the daughterinlaw was worse! Is this a new plot twist? (Actually, this rich woman isn't as bad as some of the others, but she is sort of haughty and imperious. Maybe she's the good one in this family).

The logical thing wluld have been to say that a member of the US team that she knew when she was in NY was hit by a car in front of the hotel and she went to the hospital with him. What is so difficult???

Well, so much for the speed skating subplot. Already, they've written themselves into a corner. Thank goodness for the "being hit by a car while saving someone" subplot to get out of it. I didn't think they'd allow an American to win a medal. Isn't Apollo Anton Ohno still the most hated person over there because he won from a Korean's disqualification?

poodlepal, it does seem strange that the speed skating seems to be over unless he has some sort of miraculous recovery. And Saewa giving the bag of money to Bonji for him - it reminds me of the mothers who try to buy their son's girlfriends off with money that we've seen so many times before and maybe we will again in this one. ;-)
Everyone stay safe in the storm!

Bongi gets caught in the middle. It's becoming more and more obvious she's going to end up with Carl.

I'll try, Mara, you too.
I didn't see Carl hit his head, I only saw where his shoulder banged into the vehicle then he fell and not head first ha ha. Man, can't the directors or whoever convince us this once?

I found a really interesting article about how K-dramas are made. I'll see if I can ever find it again and give the web address (try drama beans, or the "annoying things in K-dramas" thread from CJK in California. That will lead you to it.)
Anyway, they have no idea how a show will go until they get feedback from the audience. It's so chaotic with all the last minute changes and so on that one actress walked off the set, and Sunjae from High Kick is trying to get a law passed that scripts must be finished 10 days in advance. One show had a grand finale filled with technical problems and a test pattern just showed up in the middle.
That explains a lot. I bet the idea of a Korean skating for another country was unpopular (understandably), so they dropped it and injured him with the classic "hit by a car" scene. You kind of knew he wouldn't just, I don't know, need ACL surgery or something like that, LOL.
When they film an entire series in advance, the people working on the series are happy, but the viewers are not. They want to be able to change things the way they like it.

So it's almost ad lib. That really does explain a lot.
