Yedinci Gün - End, Innocent Blood, Glass Slippers 4-5-6

Yedinci Gün ended up not being my favorite İhsan Oktay Anar book but it was a good read nevertheless.

I have started Innocent Blood by P.D James (purchased at a secondhand book store) and I really like it. I hope I'll continue liking it. The premise is very interesting and it has that certain British quality that I really like.

Glass Slippers is going strong. After a hit and miss with sister not able to meet, we had a 15 year time skip. Yoo Hee is still with the horrible family poor thing. She does all the work while that horrible woman keeps lying about, the daughter is a stupid girl who wants to be a pop star and/or actor and worst of all the man started to lust over Yoon Hee (she doesn't know this).

The suprise to me is So Ji Sub of the perfect face and usually wooden acting but here he is very funny and actually emotes. I wonder what happened to him later in his acting career to turn him into such a statue. Here he has a small role (grown up version of the street thug gang leader, I think but I'm not sure, I'm hoping not). And the stupid sis has a crush on him. But he in turn has a crush on Yoon Hee (everyone knows her as Sun Woo and her memory is still not back).

Tae Hee on the other hand is a successful and smart woman who has not given up the search on her sister even after 15 years. So Jun her cousin and she get along very nicely but her ambitious Aunt wants  So Jun to rule the company after  Grandpa dies. Granpa is very much in Tae Hee though and he teaches her and asks her to apply to the lowest position in the corporate to learn everything. Her identity will be kept secret and she will evaluated solely on her merit.

Meanwhile the driver's mother works next to where Yoon Hee works (at the horrible family's restaurant) and she arranges an application form and gives it to Yoon Hee to apply. She is reluctant since she graduated from night college and her qualifications may not be enough but the Halmoni encourages her. So she decides to apply.

Jae Hyuk meanwhile turns from US as a successful Wall Street Merger and Acquisitons expert. And Grandpa gives him a failing communications company in the corporate to test him. If he succeeds (he doesn't ask for profit, just a sign that the company will get better) he'll give him what he wants but if he fails he'll be thrown out. Meanwhile he meets Tae Hee and it is like they never left. Tae Hee is really into him without knowing what a snake he really is. This is the actor who is the second male lead in All About Eve and I don't really care for him (well he was agains Jang Dong Gun there so the poor man didn't stand that much of a chance) but here he looks better (not as good as SJS though :) )

At the end of episode 6 Yoon Hee and Jae Hyuk meet cute (she helps him catch a purse snatcher and drops her application form which he finds on the street right after she left).
Will there be a love triangle between sisters and this guy? I hope not but I won't be suprised if there is.
