She's what my staff used to call a 'tiger Mom'. Kids that go against this kind of Mom are in for a rough time.

Have we seen YJ speak english in this? I'm thinking only a couple of characters have: Punk, JH, SS????

I would have read it if it was a spoiler, anyways LOL!!! It's all good. I kept thinking, that IS a weird place to put pockets.

Another good episode, they're still on a roll. Glad to see that the show has really hit its stride. I really feel for DH, and am glad KS told MR the truth her father was afraid to tell her. Although, it seemed to make little difference to her, at least now.

I can see both sides of their story, so it's just sad all around.

Annnnnnd, once again, she gets kicked out the house. I'll repeat myself: If her stepmother doesn't have a soft landing prepared for her behind the scenes, CR is worse than useless to me. You can have all the filial piety your society demands of you, but you also have a duty to your child, adopted or not. I agree with those below - if CR ghosts her, she should just cut her ties with them for good and start out on her own. By now it should be apparent that your Grandfather will never and has never accepted you as an equal part of that 'family'. Cash in your shares, girl, and start anew.

I wish I hadn't read that before watching the show.

Please no! Make him as minor a character as possible! I'd rather see her and HoSik. Bring back that mystery guy from the job interview at the cosmetic place!!!!!

I was going to post that too. She is the most confounding character I've ever seen in a Kdrama. At times, she's almost likable, but then reverts to her catty, selfish, snooty, etc ways. It's almost like 2 different writers do her lines and they don't talk to each other. I've given up on her - all she cares about is making sure JP is in line for the throne, and everyone else can stay out of the way.

Yeah, don't blink or you'll miss it. I think we only saw it for about 20 seconds?

That whole scene was so beautifully done and heart-rending, it's a shame they didn't use it as the finale. The cherry on top was TK's walking out of the dr's office with the baby, and seeing YD/BN hugging. Very emotional. It reminds me of what the series once was, and chose to stop being.

I gotta ask:
What are the odds that YD does NOT tell TK about her trip with InOk, after it's over?

(I'm assuming he can't come to her rescue this time, as she wouldn't have had a chance to message him where they were going.)

PS- the title refers to a popular song from my youth that started off "I'm a friendly stranger in a black sedan, won't you hop inside my car?" It came to mind looking at InOk taking YD for her "last ride" in the black Volvo sedan.

I'm really scratching my head trying to figure out what that whole Hee/Uncle scene was about. He KNOWS she had a child...maybe he didn't believe her in retrospect of her scamming ways? The thing is, is THAT his kid? The Fortune Teller said his child would find him. But it also seems the fortune teller has been conveniently forgotten by now.

this show reminds me of the saying "even a broken clock is right twice a day". We get an occasional sliver of entertainment here and there. I threw a lot of shade at Three Bold Siblings for the lack of plot direction, but I'll say this much: Unlike Its Beautiful Now and TRHC, it didn't suddenly change direction 3/4 of the way in.

Ep 38 “I’m a friendly stranger in a black sedan…..”

Now what? The writers try to claw back us back to some semblance of “reality” in the nonsense world they’ve created. But it’s too little, too late and they flop again in the ending scene. However, there were some performances worth remembering:

- Thank goodness for SK. She finally brought some joy and light to the situation. Getting to meet her cousin and hearing TK’s “plans” to register their marriage and adopt sounded good, but I’m with DW on this one: Plans are one thing, where’s the action?.
- InOk’s downward spiral. So all we need now is the obligatory scene of her collapsing on a sidewalk, and waking up in the ER. I wish I could find a pic of the actor, he’s KBS’s Brain Surgeon-designate and if we see him, we’ll know for sure what’s up (he’s played that role in 3 Bold Siblings & Bravo My Life).
- BN welcoming YD to motherhood. THAT was a great scene, maybe one of the best for both characters. Bravo!
-Hee apologizes to Uncle. I’m not really sure what that scene was for? Closure for Uncle? An opportunity to meet his long-lost son? What was the point?
-Granny confession to InOk about her treatment of her & her son. It’s too bad this was cut short by that dirtbag barging into their house. This was going in an interesting direction until then. But why give us anything entertaining?

Oh, and SJ out to destroy the company with help of Mr Missing-Eyelashes? I have news for you, honey: Lynx Golf cannot allow its corporate image to be tarnished on live TV. This is the price your producers paid when they allowed a real-life corporation to be depicted in a Family Drama in consideration of Product Placement. https://lynxgolfusa.com/

I wonder if part of the pitch of this script to KBS was “Hey, in this one, we’ll create two of the most hated villains in Family Drama! Not only are they evil, but I’ll put them in almost every episode! Talk about the ratings!!!!”

Oh, and how sweet to see TK head off to work and saying bye to his family. WHERE’S THE KISS GOODBYE??? C’mon guys, a peck on her cheek would have been fitting here. You just can’t bring yourselves to do it, can you?

Sigh. Whatever, I’m sure they’ll screw up the next episode too. Thanks for tossing us loyal viewers some crumbs until that final scene. I should share everyone’s outrage at it, but it’s just par for the course now.

I wish the writers would go into hiding with BongNim. No one would even bother looking for them……..

THANK GOODNESS!!!!

I can't really figure out why they are introducing this storyline at this point. Unless it's to send YM back to the USA after SK's parents re-unite?

Wait. WHAT? IO tells JH to take the baby so TK/YD can be together???? The last thing that dirtbag wants is a child to raise on his own! How is YD supposed to react to this??? IO now takes the Delusional Crown from SJ, and the stupidity of the writing of this show takes the cake.

I hope ratings are down.

Well, don't watch TRHC, that's for sure. Hopefully we get some happy news in this one tomorrow.

I am having a hard time accepting, at this point that we all see the obvious - they should get married and lawyer up. Yet, we're supposed to believe this has not occurred to people with college degrees, including a DOCTOR! That plus everything else I bitched about yesterday is making this not compelling anymore. I'm tired of us all being treated like idiots.

Dont stress yourself. the show is not worth it anymore. I've given up - they've blown their chance at redeeming this mess, I think. We've been teleported to the YLAG-world of scriptwriting.

You know, it WOULD be kind of fitting at the end of the series that she IS left alone in that house with her husband, and everyone else has sided with Granny & TK/YD. Heck, maybe even her husband tells her to leave too????
