I'll give the writers some credit here: It was a really nice touch to put the age-enhanced picture of her on the carton. We really should have had a scene where a woman (seen from the back) picks up the carton and recoils in horror, dropping it and running out of the store.

Unless he's the guy she's been seeing on the side that she's keeping under wraps, and not HoSik?

"My perfect ending to this stupid search is for a man to call and ask why they are looking for his wife. 😱😱😱"

That would be a perfect cliffhanger ending on a friday episode!!!

That's been the hallmark of this show.

He just asked (without context) "Is it because of KS?"

I gotta admit, that prank call was pretty funny. I could just picture a Korean Bart Simpson at the other end.

I just rewatched it, and yeah, that sarcastic smirk was 100% out of character. Like Lunkera said, 'dumb writers'. It's like they cut something out from the show we haven't seen.

What was really strange is that is was totally out of character for KS to say that. Being like "yeah, whatever" isn't anything I'd ever hear him say, least of all if it concerned protecting JD. JUST WEIRD.

Was this the first time we've seen SS wife so clearly? She almost looks like Yu-Jin.

Yes, that WAS wierd.

I'm sitting here scratching my head after watching 77 on K o c o w a . So that woman has a 'will'. Uh, BFD. I've made a will, and my sister has a copy. But I'm still alive (I think) - although watching this show makes me think I'm in Purgatory sometimes. So, I'm not sure what is so important. Obviuosly, it needs to be vetted before we all run around like headless chickens. Now, if she had a copy of SJ death certificate, that would be another matter, but KS would have found that already? Unless she died in a foreign country, but again we KNOW she's alive from the KBS profiles.

So, are we actually having some movement? Or are we back on that treadmill again? Any why is JD again falling and hurting herself in running after something? First with rest-home-mom and now this? How many times will this writing team keep going back to the same tired old tropes?

SIGHHHHHHH

I think the real question here, is WHY doesn't she want to come back? It's been 10 years, and evidently she isn't a prima ballerina anywhere, and not even on Youtube, which I'm sure the family has been checking on. So her initial premise for leaving is done. So Sher, you have to be right: She's moved on and found someone else and possibly has a family already. There's no other reason, other than maybe being too embarrased to come back because she made a bad decision in leaving in the first place. Which I guess could be. We know she's not dead, from the character profiles.

So her bio never says if she throws caution to the wind and unites with her dad. JH does have a point. You can just imagine Granpa's reaction to learning her father is an ex-con. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

So I was thinking about this while doing the laundry today. I think they need to resolve this quickly and should be done by mid-Ep 35 at the latest (gives them one more weekend cliffhanger). This is because with about 15 episodes left, they still have to resolve the following issues:
-YD/DW/SK relationship and it's complications
-Uncle/Hee/SJ/CM sperm-sweepstakes
-Uncle's "child" who will come to him
-BongNim/Jung Ho relationship
-Birth of Real & Olive
-The Strawberry Hunt (ft YD & TK & Granny)

Sher & Loelha, I'm wondering what do they do with the character after MR dumps him, and reconciles with her dad, over his objections? Do they just write him out and send him back to US?

Well, FINALLY a little movement on the excite-o-meter! DH is getting closer to accepting that MR could be his daughter. (and yeah, they use the old 'allergy' trope but I don't care). I just want to give a shout out to actor Kim Young Ho, who plays DH. He was great in Empress Ki and stands out to me, in this series. He was so good in that whole scene in the bakery with MR.

Otherwise, same ol' dreck. How did they manage to even make YeJu objectionable??? She was one of the last characters I liked???? I'm just waiting for MR/DH to be reunited and their story to be reconciled. I'll probably drop it after that, as that should close out Little Dong too.

Agreed. As a couple, they are a disaster waiting to happen. God Forbid, in the last scene is a time skip to 10 years from now and he's on the street handing out flyers for the missing MR!!!!

I can totally see that happening, and I think I would put it in if I was the writer.

I was assuming that it was for some sort of importation deal? There is a large Korean community here in LA, with their own unique stores that would certainly carry food from home.

Please provide details when you have them! She was so great in BML, and have only seen her in bits in youtube for something about a woman in a veil, but I guess she only has bit parts. She also looks thinner :-(

i believe that contraption is called a "baby Bjorn" here in the States.
