Yeah. More confused now, after this weeks episodes. She was so insistent they were just dating, all the way up until now. I’m sorry, what you see in television notwithstanding, conceiving a child is not something most highly educated people with ready access to the technology to prevent accidental birth do while adamant on not committing. Most hope for some form of family there to raise the child before they take chances.

Yeah, but now I’m confused. Morning sickness usually presents around six weeks. So when does Gyu Jin think this happened? Surely they were divorced more than six weeks ago. Or perhaps their definition of taking it slow isn’t the same as mine :)

Episode 63, I believe. They had just gotten back together. They had drinks and woke up in bed together in the hospital. We have no idea what happened while they were drunk. Perhaps, they do t either.

I guess I was thinking of episode 63, was it, when they went and had drinks and woke up bed together in the hospital. We have Jim idea what happened. Perhaps neither do they.

I don’t know if we’ll squeek by without any drama. Will Gyu Jin think the baby is the director’s, after all he saw them kiss, or so he thinks. He may not remember them sleeping together. Neither of them may. If he even hints that it might be the director’s will Na Hee get upset? Enough to break up?

Sure seems that way doesn’t it?

Even now, she keeps bring up his first love that he *never dated.* She has no clue that she’s being two faced, insensitive, and unreasonable given that she actually went out on dates with the director. And she will never have to accept that her obsessing over it Is unfair when she dated someone else and he remained faithful.

In a sense Gyu Jin is mostly to blame. When she needed emotional support, he didn’t give it. If Na Hee is cold at times it’s in part a defense mechanism to deal with a husband who never let her know his feelings.

Having said that, I don’t get why Na Hee isn’t partly at fault for the same things. If she had let him know she was sorry about the miscarriage, that she wouldn’t let it happen again, that it didn’t mean she didn’t care about him or their child, that he was loved, that he was appreciated, then it’s hard to believe he wouldn’t have reciprocated. I get that men are bad about communicating feelings, but so are many women. It was in both of their powers to fix their marriage if they made the effort. So, yeah, it was mostly his fault, but unless she was open and communicated and he did not, then she is to blame too.

I think that’s it for me too. Na-Hee has done some epically insensitive things, but it never seems to come back on her. She never once gets blowback and feels bad for what she’s done. Her character change hasn’t come out of great pain leading her to see her role in her own suffering and therefore change. That lack of pain makes it hard for me to feel that the change I s real and permanent. Everyone else’s mileage may vary, and that’s fine.

It’s funny. But Na-Hee and her ex-mother-in-law are my favorite now. She wants so bad to have a second chance, and you can somewhat understand the mother. I want them to work it out, but I don’t see how it’s possible.

I think he did an amazing job.

You know, it looks like Gyu Jin may try to draw a hard line with his mother, but every single time a son takes a hard line with a mother in a Korean Drama, the son loses. The mother gets hurt or sick and the son caves.

The mother is a real piece of work. Her vision of the women she wants for her son is more important than his happiness. And when she can’t get her way she throws a tantrum like a petulant child and says “who gave birth to you?” Well, I have news for you, Gyu Jin never asked you to give birth to him. That was your choice, he had no say in the matter.

It’s going to be really interesting, isn’t it, to see what happens now. They both have some explaining to do given how certain they were about the breakup, and Na-Hee is going to have to confront her relationship with her ex-mother-in-law sooner than J expected.

You know, the other problem is, I have never sensed that Na-Hee is really at the point where she would do anything to have Gyu-Jin. Until she reaches that point, I’m not sure I think they have much future. She is only half way in. She has to be sure it is him, and only him, before she will take on the challenges she’ll face.

Thanks. I tend to agree with you about this couple though. To me, marriage is something you do because you can’t imagine life without the other person. In this case, it was more like “gee, wouldn’t it he nice to be married.” If that’s your level of commitment, I would be worried.

My parents married after two weeks and stayed married. It depends in their level of maturity and commitment. Having said that, I sort of agree. Those two don’t scream maturity and commitment.

Perhaps in the end it will work out. But Na-Hee is already hesitant over her ex-mother-in-law. What happens when she opposes an ex-in-law marriage. It will make it all the worse for Na-Hee. And then there’s her own family, what happens when they freak out over ex-in-laws marrying? Will she have the courage to face it, or will her hesitancy turn into another breakup.

Yes, but does it spell the end for Gyu-Jin and Na-Hee?
