First Cup

Well for any of you who are poor college students like me or just broke in general you all know the pain and agony of trying to figure out your bills. And what with Eun-chan having to take on her mother's and sister's irresponsibility along with her own troubles you just can't help but feel bad for her. All I gotta say is that Eun-chan better thank her lucky stars that she lives in a country where prices are dirt cheap (sadly that means so are wages...)

That was mighty nice of Eun-chan to help Min-yeop run away. Stupid. Idiotic. Downright foolishness if you ask me. But nice all the same. Honestly if it were me I would've beat the living tar out of him. For one he was stalking her sister. For another he tried to steal money. I don't really care for what reason you've got, but stealing is a no-no. If he _really_ wanted to help her out financially, get a job dumbass. And Eun-chan got in all sorts of trouble because of him, I'm surprised Eun-chan didn't hunt him down this episode and tae kwon do-ed his sorry behind for all the money he's got.

Gaaaah this little girl was _so_ precious. I know it'd just be icing on the cake if she pulled out some tiny tot kung fu (well tiny tot tae kwon do) action on some unknowing pick-pocket *cough*MINYEOP*cough*.

Ahwoooo!!!! Hehe. Actually, this brings back memories of when I used to take violin lessons. There was this one time when I was like in 1st or 2nd grade and I was waiting for my sister to finish up her lesson I was sitting in another room with my teacher's basset hound trying for the life of me to get her to howl. Needless to say I was fairly unsuccessful, well at least Eun-chan got Terry to do it. I don't seem to have that magic touch with animals :(

Why all the cute moments you ask? Well I kinda found this first episode to be kinda slow and uneventful in certain areas like romance or comedy. Sure there were some funny moments here and there, but nothing bust-my-gut hilarious (if anything it'd be Eun-chan's delivery to the bath house, but I didn't so much as chortle for that) so I had to expand in other areas. ANYway, this entire 'apologize' sequence was so adorable. I think my favorite part was when she was saying out loud how you should apologize if you do something bad. I'm surprised none of his dates didn't say anything about her. Course they were all in their own little world, so maybe that shouldn't be so surprising.

Eh....Han-gyul wasn't really scoring big with me this episode. Even his topless towel-y action didn't really move me. Shocking isn't it? Me, miss nose-bleeds every time a hunky Korean actor waltzes across my computer screen nekkid didn't really like seeing Mr. Gong Yoo all soapy wet in a towel. Well I dunno, sure I think the guy's hot, but for some reason I didn't really want to see his Greek god-like physique this episode. Add to the fact that he was being a complete jerk this entire episode too. But I know a whole bunch of you fan-girls would be pelting me with hard stones right now if I didn't include anything, ESPECIALLY this cap, so I did xD Hope y'all are happy.

Well there was nothing too hot in this episode either. Maybe I could've counted that one chick who tried to date-rape Han-gyul, but honestly that was pretty lame. She didn't even have the gumption to pull off the dude's pants. Why go through all that trouble if you ain't gonna sneak a peak? (Hides devils horns and pitchfork) Anywho, I'm always up for a good fall and coincidentally land on a dude's chest, so this was good enough for me. This just loses points since the situation in context didn't scream hot intense passion.

I honestly hope to whatever force is out there that these people didn't ACTUALLY eat jjajangmyun with strawberry yogurt in it, but that in fact it was extra jjajangmyun sauce dyed with some pink food coloring. I'd probably b*tch-slap anybody who'd so much as come within a 100ft radius of me with anything that doesn't belong in my precious jjajangmyun. And believe me for those of you who haven't had jjajangmyun you'd be saying the same thing once you have tried it.

Why? WHY???? Some of you guys already know how much I hate toilet scenes. And this by far has to be one of the grossest ones. You can actually hear his tinkle stream hitting the urinal. *shudders* Gag me.

Normally I'd just ignore these scenes since they're not much to talk about, but tongue girl seriously freaked me out. If I didn't know any better I'd swear Gene Simmons from Kiss was making a guest appearance on the show. Seriously, who DOES that on a blind date?

The one thing I really hate about books or movies in general are people's inability to just clear everything up. Eun-chan just kept going on about trying to get money for the moped while Han-gyul just spouted his head off about how she's just trying to get his money. I don't get why Eun-chan just didn't tell him everything about Min-yeop and stuff. I don't know who's she's protecting, Han-gyul probably wouldn't believe her either, but at least she wouldn't just allow him to think whatever of her.

Overall thoughts: well this was an ok episode. It was pretty slow since there's very little interaction amongst the main cast and most of this is just establishing how poor Eun-chan is and what she needs to do to get money and Han-gyul's overall pompousness. Still, it had it's moments and it could have been worse. Like Princess Lulu, I did NOT understand a thing that was going on in that first episode, nor was I inclined to actually understand it at all. But enough of that, on to the next episode!
