Chill. It's a drama. And you can't blame (judge) people for empathizing with Hye Jin's character because Yeon…
You clearly disregard the fact that the living Hyun Cheol does not have a body. He is turning into the other Hyun Cheol and becoming more the Hye Jin's husband. Unless he moves on to another body, he will never be completely become the chef again. Even if he goes back to Yeon Hwa and their daughter, things wouldn't work out because he is the not the old Hyun Cheol anymore.
Why should Yeon Hwa give up? Because she wouldn't want Hyun Cheol to get hurt. Because she accepted he was dead, got him cremated and was ready to move on. At least that's how it was before Hyun Cheol came to find her but she didn't believe him anyway. Of course, it's understandable why she didn't believe such a thing and it took her a while to finally believe that her husband is alive. But if it took her that long to believe such a miracle, wouldn't she have a better understanding of Hye Jin's situation? I thought she'd understand why Hye Jin wouldn't or couldn't accept it because she was in the same situation before.
If Yeon Hwa won't give up (which I think she won't), she should at least give Hyun Cheol time and be more understanding of her husband's predicament. She acts like she's the only victim, she's the only one hurting, her daughter and Hyun Cheol's father are far more understanding of the situation. She's also become possessive, one move from Hyun Cheol and she'd be like "where are you going? when are you coming home?"
The writers has turned her character into a demanding possessive selfish wife. That's why more audiences are empathizing with Hye Jin because of the complete turn around of Yeon Hwa's character not because the other woman is rich and pretty.
Yeon Hwa is a beauty on her own and I personally think has far more endearing characteristics than Hye Jin, like how she values and takes care her family, working hard for the family after Hyun Cheol died. On the other hand, Hye Jin looks cold on the outside, she works all day (even though she doesn't need to) instead of looking after her kids, only checking on them during bedtime (that's why she didn't know what her kids were up to or what problems they're facing), she has like one friend at work and doesn't seem to get along with sister and mother in-law. I think what the audience sees in her that they empathize with her is because she was the victim, she's been hurt by Hyun Cheol (the banker) and just want her to be happy.
I don't know how the writes will end this but it I feel it would be unfair for Yeon Hwa and Ji Soo to lose Hyun Cheol. Let's all hope that both families will get their happy endings.
this message is for Lee Seo Won... " Don't Ever Drink Alcohol Again!!!!" It can ruin peoples lives... Why is it…
It's a huge business (alcohol and beverages) and many will lose jobs if it would be stopped or banned. And it's not the alcohol. It's the individual. Blaming the alcohol is a lame excuse.
Sure, alcohol lower inhibitions and make people more braver/aggressive but it just means that it is your internal personality, it is who you are, you just become more extroverted because of the alcohol. Being drunk doesn't mean one is not responsible for his/her actions.
I just wonder how many people would be shipping the rich wife (ie REAL widow) with Hyun Cheol the cook, if Hye…
Chill. It's a drama. And you can't blame (judge) people for empathizing with Hye Jin's character because Yeon Hwa's character has or is becoming selfish. She's not helping herself and driving Hyun Cheol away.
Also Hye Jin isn't a (real) widow (yet) because obviously her husband's body is alive and well. What would a spirit do without a body? If a body isn't that important, then if the chef's spirit lives in a woman's body would Yeon Hwa demand her husband back?
It's the chef's heart but it's the banker's body and brain (that's why he's now having memories of him and Hye Jin). But as the story unfolds, the chef is becoming or has now become the banker and if he keeps on living in the banker's body, he'll completely turn into him and fall inlove with Hye Jin unless he chose another body or the gods (or whatever they're called) fix this and I don't know how cos the chef's body was cremated.
As for your question re the actresses swapping characters, I would still empathize with Hye Jin's character. I too empathize with Yeon Hwa and the kids. It's unfair for having Hyun Cheol to choose between the two families and one has to give up. Based on how the characters were portrayed up to now, I thought that it'd be Yeon Hwa who would give up or at least have a better understanding of his husband's dilemma. Of all people, she knows how kind her husband is and so I thought she'd understand why he's having a hard time not to care about the other family and to abandon them.
If it wasn't for Ra Mi Ran, I would start feeling veeery uncomfortable with the selfish turn of Yeon Hwa's character...…
Yes, she's driving Hyun Cheol away. In a way, I sympathize and understand her because she's insecure and scared that she might lose her husband to Hye Jin. But if she really knows her husband and if she really loves him, she should give him time and be more understanding of his dilemma and have the confidence that he will chose her and their daughter in the end.
Put this on hold. I loved it in the beginning but somehow lost interest in the second half. It wasn't that exciting anymore for me. Maybe I'll pick it up once it finish airing.
Sorry, she's so TOTALLY in the right here. Sorry. Of course, I'd be focusing on discussing this with my HUSBAND…
I think BOTH wives are selfish...but more so Yeon Hwa. Why? Because they already had a talk and although Hyun Chul admitted that he is her husband, he also explained that he can't go back to them yet because he realized that the "body" he's using now is the banker who refused him the loan and he needs to solve the mystery behind the "loan".
To the public, he is now the banker Hyun Chul whom he realized was framed for the "loan" and now "murder" and if he doesn't find out the truth he'll end up in prison which would prevent him from going back to her and Ji Soo. He even added that he is now both the "chef" and the "banker" in one body cos he's starting to have memories of both men. And even after this, Yeon Hwa would show up at their place of work and demand him to choose her. I mean, how selfish can she be? Can't she feel that it is hard for Hyun Chul too? I thought she knows her husband well. With her actions in the recent episodes, she's driving Hyun Chul away.
As for Hye Jin, although she's a little out of her character clinging on to Hyun Chul but I understand where she's coming from. She didn't know at first that he wasn't her husband anymore. She was glad he was changed man and has started to change her mind about the divorce. I know that she was apprehensive of these changes in her husband but we can't blame her for hoping such changes because based on the throw back scenes of their love story and how they met, it is obvious that Hyun Chul really loved her and that something must have happened for him to change and that hasn't been explained yet. And as for her attitude towards Yeon Hwa, she's just being defensive because Yeon Hwa was being aggressive demanding her to give back her husband. No wife would take it easy when another woman demands that.
As for the CEO, he didn't know she was married when he started flirting with her but he found out around episode 3 but he didn't stop his flirting. He is hot but speaks random English which is annoying. In my opinion, his character is not significant to the main plot. His character can be removed and it wouldn't affect the story. He's there just for the love triangle. A better third party would be a detective or another banker as they could be related to the story and the "loan" and "murder".
Having said that, I do hope both families will have a happy ending.
