Saimdang, Light’s Diary Episode 20

I really liked how human and honest Saimdang's…

I really liked how human and honest Saimdang's conversation with her husband was. It was perfect. But I'm still wondering why she won't divorce him?? I'm guessing it's to protect Lee Gyeom, but why is it again? I never really understood the reason for that... and I don't know if it's still important now. I hate when the drama creates obstacles so the pairing isn't together until the very last episode (if ever).

I knew Lee Gyeom would buy all her paintings back, but it still moved me anyway. I hope they get together... it would be so frustrating if they can't be together by the end. Ugh. And I don't think they getting together in modern times is going to satisfy me, because Ji Yoon isn't Saimdang and Rade isn't Lee Gyeom, even if the actors are the same.

Also, I really like the friendship between the main character and the chubby woman. But I think the drama should flesh out more the supporting characters... though this isn't a character driven drama, so the plot takes precedence over developing the other characters storylines.
