Your counterpoint is spot on, however, I am flipping the script:Introducing Gwang-sook to the former MIL, right…
Hi Zango! Thank you for your reply.
However, I stand by my comment. MIL must have bullied and distressed Dongseok when his wife was ill and after her passing.
He needs to stand firm and protect his love with all his heart and soul. His impending new married life with Kwangsook is on the line. If his MIL disparaged Kwangsook, or step over the line of decency, he needs to step up and defend her ... respectfully.
It was my "what the" moment when DS signaled her not to address him. He was cooler than this, or at least that's…
Exactly, Ruby Rain!
Is it the Korean culture to show respect to the elders in this way? I blame it on the Writer for changing Dongseok to become a wimp suddenly.
I am not Korean so I believe that one can be respectful, and be assertive and confident too. Knowing what his MIL is made of, he needs to step up and step up swiftly before the MIL overwhelms Kwangsook.
"instead of sweating bullets and looking like he was about to go hide."
My view about that scene in the LX Hotel lift is different from some commenters here.
If Dongseok had introduced Kwangsook to his MIL in the lift PROMPTLY, it will indicate that he is serious about choosing Kwangsook as his wife-to-be and that he respects both Kwangsook and his MIL.
Because the three of them ran into each other in the lift, a short introduction would suffice but a lunch or dinner can be arranged for both ladies to get to know each other later.
Since Kwangsook unwittingly called Dongseok "oppa" in the presence of his MIL, if he kept silent, Kwangsook will be puzzled.
That's why MIL addressed Dongseok as "son-in-law" deliberately to let Kwangsook know who she is.
By then, it is still not too late to make the introduction but Dongseok obviously did not do so as the preview has shown.
The longer Dongseok delayed in doing the introduction to his MIL, it only showed his fear of her and his fear of her objection to Kwangsook as his future wife.
Dongseok is 50 years old and has been a widower for 15 years and has not set his eyes on other women until he met Kwangsook. He is the Chairman of LX Group too.
Jebal (Please), Dongseok should stand firm and confidently introduce Kwangsook to his MIL. This will be how he can protect her and their love.
Right! The Writer should get Dongseok's mother to create tension, at the very least, instead of the mother-in-law.…
"... miraculous fast solving problems scenes .... "
You hit the nail on the spot! Just as "miraculous" was Bom's sudden change of mood or character towards Kwangsook - from coldness to warmth and linking of arms with Kwangsook. 😆🤣😂 The Writer is hard-pressed for time but still wanted to create tension with Dongseok's MIL. 🫣🫤
It's you! I recalled wrongly that it was another commenter.
Given that we have 14 remaining episodes, I don't think there's time. They need to show Chunsoo and Yeonju being heartbroken. I do wish Yeonju is NOT Chunsoo's biological daughter, then that shameless ex cannot say that she is Yeonju's mum arrogantly and repeatedly.
BTW, I remember that scene when Misun was about to give Chunsoo a gift to express her love but heard that shameless ex telling Chunsoo that she was pregnant. So sad!
Well, let's cross our fingers and watch the outcome next Saturday! ☺️
"Also the end of preview got me kinda scared that the daughter might not the Chun Soo how she mentioned the child."
Lunkera, I have just re-watched the preview of episode 41. Chunsoo did not say anything to imply that Yeonju is not his daughter. Can you please explain?
Yes, Writers oftentimes "create new stories just for the drama". But there are now 14 remaining episodes. In the preview, Dongseok's mother-in-law is ticking him off for planning to marry Kwangsook because that golf clown was badmouthing her.
Dongseok has to stand up to his mother-in-law and Hyeol and Bom will also speak kindly of Kwangsook. This 'Empress Dowager' will back down very soon. Otherwise, this drama needs an extension of 10 episodes not 4. 😆
Whenever Beomsoo's ex appears, I feel anxious for Beomsoo, Seri and Hani. Yes! Her abandonment of Hani, soon after delivery, is her weakest fact.👏👏👏
I can't imagine how Chunsoo is going to resolve his ex's issue. Her return to get money from her ex-husband is useless when he is almost penniless. Selling Eagle Brewery is out of the question too as it belongs to Kwangsook now. 😬😑
It is really common courtesy for Dongseok to make the introduction of Kwangsook to his mother-in-law since the three of them ran into each other in the lift. There is no need and no time to create tension with his mother-in-law. 🤷🏻♀️
What?! When Dongseok saw Kwangsook in the lift at LX Hotel, why... WHY didn't he simply introduce Kwangsook to his mother-in-law? Introduce her as the lady he is dating and planning to marry. Instead of introducing her, he acted like they were strangers! 😠
Dongseok is a huge disappointment, given that he was pursuing Kwangsook with a 10-day deadline to date him and later with hints of marriage too.
She is the mother-in-law ... if she were his mother, he should also not behave like they were having an affair. Goodness!
Bom's change from coldness towards Kwangsook to friendliness and warmth is too sudden and laughable and only tells me the Writer is hard-pressed for time. 😄
I don’t think a headstand is safe for someone who has had brain surgery in the past. In my country, individuals…
Vibs, thank you for this information!
I have just googled and found this - "Ahn Jae-wook said, "Ten years ago, I collapsed from subarachnoid hemorrhage in the United States and had brain surgery."
It is really Miae's fault for reaching out to Kangsoo repeatedly, grabbing his hands and crying. And her stupidity…
Hurt Eagle Brewery again? Tak has already tried to ruin EB's reputation and ended up apologising in public.
I was thinking Tak might harm Kangsoo physically. That would be tragic. But I want Kangsoo to be safe eventually but Tak jailed for his attempt. Tak deserves a jail sentence. 🫤

Are you saying Ahn Jae Wook has had brain surgery? When? Why? Brain cancer or tumour or stroke?
Oh dear! If he had brain surgery previously, he should NOT do head stands because a lot of blood would accumulate in the brain and neck region and ... I am not a nurse or doctor... I think he might suffer a burst brain vessel.
This is confusing because it can't be that it is safe for him to do a head stand. Do you agree?
When she behaved shy in that episode, most of us found it funny but when such behaviour is repeated, it is no longer funny to me.
Thank you for your reply.

If it were so, Chunsoo will get a nervous breakdown.
Ah! Thank you for the BTS from Uhm Ji Won's Instagram.
What else are you watching now?

No need to add his mother-in-law to this drama. Beomsoo's and Chunsoo's ex-wife issues and Kangsoo's birth secret will take up enough time.
The Writer should get Dongseok's mother to create tension, at the very least, instead of the mother-in-law.
The test on Dongseok is a sheer waste of time.
Chunsoo's and Beomsoo's ex-wife issues need more time to resolve. 😬
Instead of introducing her, he acted like they were strangers! 😠

Where did you read about his brain surgery?
