Dear My Friends Episode 11

Very poignant episode.

This was an extremely insightful and poignant episode. It was amazing to watch. Especially as the truth of Jung Ah's revenge comes to light. Her husband asks her "What have I done wrong?" To which she replies, "Nothing." At first I thought she was stupid! Suk Kyoon, her husband, has constantly bullied and belittled her.

She wasn't extracting revenge, she was just tired and wants to take care of herself. To live at ease like her mother wanted.

Sadly Suk Kyoon became a bully to his wife, a man who used to protect Choong Nam from bullies when they were younger. It hinted that Suk Kyoon wasn't this way. That even his daughters told Jung Ah to not spoil him like that, to take matters in hand before she helped make him that way. She never stood up for herself, and her husband took that as a queue to not look to her first.

It was interesting seeing all of these layers. Most important was what Suk Kyoon's only brothers and their wives had to say. Not to mention what they did.

This episode addresses the realities of getting old and I loved it. Just like all the aunties said, " Why not tell the truth. That's what life is like. It's a soap opera."

Okay, my deep ponderings are over.

Again I love how well the writer progresses everyone's story. I'll be heart broken when this show ends, but I'll be happy to have come to know all of these amazing characters. You know, I'm a little surprised that Park Wan is feeling nauseous and dizzy. In US shows you know what that usually means! I don't think I've watched a drama that someone became preggos! Oh, and Nan Hee's mother! Just what a painful note to end it on.

Choong Nam not only extracted revenge, because even old people need to have revenge ha-ha, she new what she was doing. Those professors never swindled her. In fact, "they didn't no their worth" as she has been turning around making a profit off of the art they were selling her! I loved her in this episode! Money is all good and fine, but I still wish for a man to take care of her. (Because I do think it's something she wants.) But no, I should say I hope for her to find her happiness.

For all of the characters happiness in Dear My Friends.
