I've burned too many neurons thinking about this weekend's shows. I need a break til Saturday and then we can start this all over again.
That being said, I'm not sure who needs a redemption arc more: The writers for that boondoggle weekend or HW for not being there for his BIL. To rectify that, here is a scene that happens after TK gets told off by Bong Nim, and goes back to the apartment. This is my chance for HW to do the right thing:
Location: TK’s apartment
**HW appears at door TK: why are you here? HW: We need to talk. Actually, I need to talk, you need to listen. Will you let me in?
(cut to them sitting on couches in living room) HW: Hyung, it’s been over a year now. I understand you’re having trouble coming to grips with this…. (TK shifts in his chair, glances away) HW: just hear me out. I know how much she meant to you. For the first time in your life you seemed happy and fulfilled. I’ve never seen such a change in you. We all noticed it. But you’re still in mourning, one year later. It’s time to get on with your life. You need to accept that she left and move on. You have to leave her and the pain behind. I know you’re afraid to remove all these mementos and things around here because you’re afraid of the vacuum it will leave in your heart.
TK: Hyung (pleading)...
HW: Will you listen? You can take some solace in this: You would have been a great husband and father to her child. I’m sure of it. You’ve proven it to all of us. And you know it’s true.
And you can still be one, but to the right woman. Let’s be honest: YeonDoo was a flake. I know that’s harsh, but remember this is the same woman that came into our office demanding an immediate abortion? She was never consistent with anything. Let her and the child go, because who knows how she would have felt 6 months to a year from now? She may have dumped you then, and then how much worse would you feel losing both a wife and child you helped raise? (TK looks at him with alarm)
(HW stands up and touches TK shoulder)
So think about it. Get rid of all this stuff and find another place to live and start anew. Be a husband and father to a woman that deserves you. I’m saying this to you not as your in-law, but as your brother and partner. I’ll see myself out.
(He walks out, as TK watches, saying nothing).
Have a good Friday everyone, because that light at the end of the tunnel is #35 heading for us.
In classic soap opera fashion, the character of Yeon Do has many personality traits that are reflected at different…
I woke up at 3 this morning and while trying to fall back asleep, wrote a really great posting in my head for here about him & her and what to do. Of course, when I woke back up, I've completely forgotten most of it, LOL! Sigh. After 3+ days of thought, I've determined the following and am not going to think about it anymore until Saturday: She is a flake - let her be; He needs to move on and find someone better. Their relationship as is, is not sustainable. Now, we both know that won't happen. I'm really curious to see if the writers can pull a rabbit out of their hat and give us a BELIEVABLE means for them to reunite as a couple. They've got some time left to do it...please don't screw this up and suddenly give us another time jump where everything is hunky-dory!
It truly was one of the strangest things in this series. Why they gave a speaking role and airtime to someone…
I wish it was true. I really think her story needs to be settled too. Either she gets married, or gets a job in a big company like she's wanted. I really wonder about the message KBS sends with characters like hers (and DW in THRC) who study hard and really try to get a job and repeatedly fail. That is NOT a message I think is appropriate.
I just realized, that should DH marry Aunty Ding, little Dong would be his nephew! I've gotta think that if they keep them together, Big Dong will 'disown' her and this will be the break she needs from the manipulative men in that family. Or am I dreaming?
HOLY SMOKES! Just saw subbed 82. Where was this kind of writing for about 70 episodes???? This was a great ep from beginning to end. I don't understand MR's reluctance to speak her mind when they all sat together....it was just her family there, but you know, drama. Well done for KS & DH being able to hear it. I CANNOT WAIT until DH grabs that runt by the collar. Little Dong, you picked the wrong grizzly bear to tick off. I just wish he grabbed him a few inches higher.....by the neck. And shook him a bit, you know, just to improve brain circulation in the Dong's head.

How has it been so far, compared to The Real Has Come, which is better?
They're 2 completely different types of shows, so it's hard to compare. THRC was really interesting and fun, but the last 2 episodes are causing a lot of grief in the community so proceed at your own caution as we don't know what's in store there. For this show, watch the 1st 10 eps to get a feel for the characters, then skip to about ep 70 like Sher said above and pick up the show. Nothing really happens between ep 10-70.
it’s going to be funny to watch MIL watch her plans to keep KS go down the drain. 😂
I hope Loelha is right, only because I want the MIL to realise that KS was too good for SJ all along. And that her daughter was a fraud and the MIL would have to apologize to KS, and let him marry MR with her blessings. This all goes back to the question of does she come back voluntarily (Sher's scenario) or is dragged back (Loelha's).
Can I have two of them. 1. JD and JP caught dating? by Hye ri or Sooji?2. MR getting to find out that DH has the…
So we know tomorrow (Thursday) per the previews that DH is at the convent asking the Abbess if she's his daughter. I don't know if she's allowed to tell him or not, but this places him at the orphanage sometime Thursday. Do they drag the day out to allow for MR to get there as well, into Friday's show?
This is the part of the series I'm really looking forward to. I'm curious how they will handle him telling her that he's her Dad. And her reaction. (actually I'm kinda dreading her reaction) and I can guess that scene where he tells her and she has that deer-in-the-headlights MiRae face on her is where the Episode ends. Just not sure if that is this Friday or Next Friday, but guessing how major a cliffhanger it is, I'd be amazed if they don't do it for a Friday ep.
