[Drama Review] 'Ddanddara' - Episode 14

Sh*t went down in this episode! Well, more like just one really big reveal--which we already knew.�

First of all, I can't believe Kim Joo Han dragged his sorry ass back to Lee Joon Seok. Does this guy not have any pride left? When is he going to stop playing Lee Joon Seok's bitch? Since he got off free of any charges, it's not like he has nowhere to go. And as Lee Joon Seok so kindly reminded him, there are probably more people who believe that K-Top and Lee Joon Seok had a direct hand in the whole rape-framing debacle.�

Ji Sung can make even the driver-license-on-forehead look good.�

Kim Joo Han might have been accused of colluding with Lee Ji Young and setting up the 'perfect rape,' but people with half a brain probably realized that K-Top was the master puppet master doing all the string pulling. He could expose Lee Joon Seok's dirty deeds right then and there. But Kim Joo Han has practically shriveled up like a prune in Lee Joon Seok's presence, for reasons I don't completely understand. Perhaps Kim Joo Han finally realized just how cruel and ruthless Lee Joon Seok can be...and just how powerful he is. After getting a taste of that power as Lee Joon Seok's righthand man, Kim Joo Han was somehow left longing for more of that power (even though Lee Joon Seok dropped him like a hot potato at the first sign of trouble), going back to it like it is a bad yet addictive drug.�

Oh, look, Kim Joo Han went back to doing Lee Joon Seok's dirty work!�

It's so predictable what's going to happen. Lee Joon Seok gave ~~his bitch~~�Kim Joo Han a mission to find Choi Joon Ha, the singer who disappeared after the release of his last album. The reason for Lee Joon Seok's order was not specified but I think we all know what's going to happen here. Lee Joon Seok will offer Choi Joon Ha the chance to release his third album through K-Top and, of course, shove wads of money in his face to keep the whole Jo Sung Hyun business on the DL.�

Too bad for Lee Joo Seok because Seok Ho is already onto him and will probably find Choi Joon Ha before Kim Joo Han does. Perhaps Choi Joon Ha and Seok Ho will achieve some sort of closure over Jo Sung Hyun's death and join hands expose Lee Joon Seok? I mean with only four episode left now, I think it'd be pretty maddening if Jo Sung Hyun's death wasn't cleared soon.�

;__;�

And can we talk about Ha Neul and Geu Rin? Man, I was heartbroken to see Ha Neul so heartbroken. Clearly, Geu Rin only sees Ha Neul as a little bro, and not at all as a romantic interest, especially after Seok Ho stepped into her life. What I didn't like is how easily Ha Neul gave up...but at the same time, I was torn because the reason for his decision to let Geu Rin go was because he saw that she seemed truly happy with Seok Ho by her side. The last straw of hope I held for Geu Rin and Ha Neul to realize their love for each other and finally get together was totally obliterated with this episode. *Sighhhh* I guess I'll root for Geu Rin and Seok Ho now...but I won't be too enthusiastic about it...
