TooEmotional

From the looks of things, I think his ex-wife might be sick. Maybe she was at the hospital which is why she didn't come home?

Thank you. I am not a psychologist at all. I just tried to put myself in her shoes. She got married at 45, and not for a lack of suitors because she is gorgeous and has an amazing personality. Jang Soo must have made quite the impression on her to make her want to marry him, and he must have been the man of her dreams. And because she married at that age, she must have had a lot of plans for their future- she even asked her boss if he would give her maternity leave. But those plans were quickly ruined when he died. So she is not just mourning him but their plans for the future too.
After his funeral, she had to fight off her mother who was trying to get her to move out of her marital home to start afresh. Then her brothers-in-law wanted to dissolve the brewery- she had to fight them on this. Then she had to learn how to make makgeolli, then her brothers-in-law had their own personal struggles, then her Mom forced her to go on blind dates, then she had to fight Silla Brewery. So she has had no time to even begin to process her grief.
Adding to all this is the Chairman who has his own demands and expects her to quickly move on from the man of her dreams and love of her life. He is not being fair to her, and he seems to treat grief like an inconvenience. I still don’t understand what he meant when he said he will fix her problems so she can choose him. Does he think that she rejected him because she chose her problems over him? And once those are gone, she will have no choice but to choose him? He really does not understand- which is strange because he also lost a spouse.

I also think it has been six months, at most. The Chairman is still saying that his wife died 15 years ago and that has been the case since the first episode. And yes-they would have changed the Ha Ni actress, and Bom and Se Ri would have graduated. So some months have passed

I also felt really uncomfortable while watching this past weekend's episodes.
The talk with the friend was so bad. He never even asked what Kwang Sook thinks or feels- it was all about the Chairman and how he's like a teenager in love. That is a strange thing to do to someone you just met. I don't even think the Chairman told him that she is a recent widow, otherwise he would have asked how she is holding up.
I am so glad that Bom doesn't know yet. otherwise, she would be showing up at the brewery, nagging her.

The way the Chairman spoke about getting close to the brothers felt like a to do list to get what he wants, yet they are actual people with real feelings, who have also lost their brother. It's like he's playing a chess game. I even felt so bad for Chun Soo when he overheard the Chairman on the phone- the way he said that half of her worries were about her brothers-in-law. It was even uncomfortable when Chun Soo told her to find someone to love. With how they tried to kick her out of the house at the beginning, Chun Soo might just tell his brothers not to bother her any more after she gets married, So she needs more time to work on her relationships with them so they can come to rely on her, even if she moves out. She needs them to know that they are not a burden to her and she chose to love them.

At this point, she will have to tell the Chairman to back off- the idea of him giving and her receiving is not fun any more.

The actress is so good at portraying the emotions and she is clearly showing that she is nowhere ready for a full blown romance. Yes, she has caught some feelings, but she is just not ready yet, and it's just not about the guilt she feels- it is much more.

Hopefully, the writers can fix this.

Yes- it has the potential to be such a beautiful love story and they are so close to ruining it 😪.

🙈🤣🤣

Looks like someone is out of prison 🙆🏽‍♀️.
Am guessing Woo Sang got her out.

The last week will not be peaceful.

Nam Jin has become a petty thief 🤣🤣🤣.

While I adore the Chairman, I really don’t like how he is going about things, and in hindsight- he is quite selfish.

Has he ever asked Kwang Sook what she wants or needs? Or does he just make assumptions about what he thinks she needs and imposes his assumptions onto her? He only ever asked her once- when he asked how much time she needed to think about dating him. She reluctantly told him one month- am sure she would have asked for more than a month but she didn’t want to disappoint him. But he still rejected the one month, even though she said that is what she needed. Then after she rejected him, she told him that all she was ready for right now is friendship and he threw that in her face and accused her of being selfish.

Now, post apology, he has not even bothered to ask her what she needs but has decided what he thinks she needs and is attempting to fix her problems for her. And why is he doing this? To speed things up so they can start dating. It is all about him, once again, and not her. He is really doing too much. At this point, all she really needs is for someone to sit down and listen to her and talk to her about her husband and her grief. Which is what he should have done from the beginning. She can’t do that with her Mom because her Mom is busy trying to marry her off, and she can’t talk to her brothers-in-law because they are also grieving. The Chairman should have been her friend and used his experience with grief to help her through her own and over time, build a romantic relationship. He has never even asked her about her husband, yet he is so comfortable walking into his house🤦🏽‍♀️.

1. The Bank issues:- when Kwan Sook and Chun Soo were informed that LX Hotel became a guarantor, Kwang Sook was visibly uncomfortable- even as she spoke to Chun Soo outside. Then suddenly, when she went to thank the Chairman, she was all smiles. This shows the different power dynamics at play, especially since he is so heavily involved in her business. She is uncomfortable and cannot tell him because she is afraid of upsetting him, especially after what happened the last time. She also does not want to come off as ungrateful when he is being so nice to her and helping her. I wonder if the writers will address this or just brush it aside? She was so free and comfortable when she was with Jang Soo. It will take some time for her to feel that kind of freedom and comfort with the Chairman. Even if she were to tell him that she was not comfortable with his brand of ‘assistance’, would he actually listen?

2. Her brothers-in-law- while becoming a big brother to the Eagle brothers is a sweet proposition, Kwang Sook is still working hard to solidify her relationship with them so they can become actual siblings. A part of this is actually going through life with them, helping them with their struggles, and celebrating their victories. The Chairman coming in to take over that for her would rob her of those experiences, especially since is has only been a few months since Jang Soo died. He should really just become a friend to the brothers, and leave everything else to her.

3. Chairman’s friend- Why did the writers have his friend talk to Kwang Sook and only add more pressure on her? I think that was really unnecessary and uncalled for. Kwang Sook did not deny that she has feelings for him, and she is actually inching towards him, slowly🐌 . She is grieving and just needs time- unfortunately she is going through her grief a little too slowly for the Chairman’s liking. The Chairman needs a friend who can advise him to slow down, be patient, and actually listen to Kwang Sook.

4. Car accident- this was also really unnecessary- this trope is usually used to when someone has been rejected and the person who has rejected them is adamant about not dating them. That is why it worked so well in Five Children- the FL had dumped the ML because she felt their relationship would have so many challenges and she changed her mind after he got into an accident. In this case, Kwang Sook is grieving, and it has only been a few months since her husband died. She is slowly falling for the Chairman but really needs time to heal. So I found this trope used here to be quite unsavoury and manipulative for the FL. I wonder why the writers are in such a rush to get her through her grief (by manipulating her). OR is this supposed to be a learning curve for the Chairman?- to teach him to be patient and how to not do anything? Will Kwang Sook keep her frustrations bottled up until she one day has an outburst at him and he finally listens?

Grief is really such a sensitive subject and I hope the writers will handle it well and will not just rush through it for the sake of a story.

🤣 could it be the translation?
Jung Bae's initial DNA test was run with Chu Ah's DNA so she is his daughter.
I doubt Soon Ae ran out to try to get Seon Ju's DNA in the middle of the night. Jung Bae was already suspicious after his jacket had been moved.

This show has all of us questioning everything🤣.

Prisoner of Beauty is really good.

🤣 I wonder what they will get her for since Jung Bae said he would not report the baby switch🤔.

I think Soon Ae and Nam Jin's Mom will
be forced to live together for the rest of their lives. They both have nowhere to go😂.

So we don't know the results of the DNA test yet- it might be negative but she'll still ask for money, anyway. So there has already been a mix-up at the orphanage 🤣 and Squinters was actually telling the truth. The more they reveal about him, the less evil he looks. He was mostly greedy.
Didn’t the note have a date? Does is correlate with Woo Sang's age?

Did you notice that before Pi Su II walked in, Mi Ju started to mention Woo Sang's possible link to Soon Ae in front of her Mom and had to stop? This must indicate that Man Eun can provide more details about Dong Soo and his real age. Everyone else does not seem know Dong Soo's age and Soon Ae has no reason to reveal it.

ALTERNATIVELY, if it turns out that Woo Sang is Dong Soo, the only way to make it believable is to say that he had plastic surgery to make himself look younger for his acting career. He lost a lot of time because of his heart condition so plastic surgery helped him to regain his lost youth 🧐🤔😂.

Chu Ah and Nam Jin's Mom get some of the best lines😂😂. Reverse gear😂😂. A well dressed pauper 🤣🤣🤣.
And when Chu Ah told Seon Ju that she wasn't even that nice to Sang Ah😂😂.

It was hilarious when Nam Jin's Mom walked away from the well dressed pauper, aka, Soon Ae, at the police station. For the first time in the show, Nam Jin's Mom was rendered speechless 🤣🤣.

Pi Su II is so insensitive 😪😪. So Woo's Mom is too good for him too.

Why hasn't Jung Bae visited Man Eun yet to thank her profusely for raising Seon Ju so well?

Jin Ju has not yet told her family about her engagement? She likes knowing everyone else's business but does not reveal hers👀. I guess her birth secret will start to be revealed when she visits Tae Sang's Mom for official introductions. 🍵

He has to be older than them which is why this is odd. Shouldn't Soon Ae at least ask how old he is before going ahead with a DNA test?

There's no way she could have forged them? Even just so she can get financial assistance for herself and Sang Ah?

If only he knew that when Squinters told her that he had died, she was relieved. I doubt Pi Su II heard that part of their conversation.

Remember that scene where Soon Ae shouted at Woo Sang while he was in the hospital- that was such a strange scene and quite random- were they pointing us towards him turning out to be her son?

Someone wrote that they should have made Se Ri work full time at the brewery and not be a student and have her meet Beum Soo that way. That would have empowered her a bit and she would not have had much time to mope around and stalk a baby.
Does she even know that her Dad had to give a press conference to apologise to Eagle Brewery? I don't think she even watches the news or knows anything about current affairs . How did her parents think she could possibly take over a hotel when she has limited knowledge of what is going on around her?
Even the Chairman watches the news.

The kiss? When they were acting and she forced herself on him 😂.

Chu Ah had such a hard time when she found out that she had another sister, now a brother too😂.
And she is yet to find out that her mother and sister tried to leave the country without her. She is having a terrible month lol.

😂 well the kids were definitely cute.
But I also like how Tae Sung, who has no kids of his own, is ready to raise Jin Ju's son and is already making changes to make that happen- case in point- buying a bigger car. The car reveal was very cool, by the way.

Me too😖😟

I totally agree that this is such a bad ship. Am hoping she leaves town for a while and does not go to the brewery or any of their acquaintances. Going to the brewery would be such a disservice to the character. If she stays with people who know her, that would be just trading in one safety net for another. Her friends will always be showing up trying to help her and give her money, and the people she will be staying with will not let her do anything because they know she is a pampered princess who really does not know how to do much of anything.
Beom Soo even told her during their last interaction that he worried about her getting hurt. And she responded that she would be brave- there is nothing brave about sticking around the brewery where Beom Soo and everyone else will coddle her. Beom Soo really does pity her- his eyes show it- I did not see any hint of romance there- just genuine concern for someone who has been sheltered all her life and is naive.
He will never see her as potential love interest if she continues to hang around him- she will be just another person he needs to take care of, like Ha Ni.

The best for her would be to go out into the world- with no safety net and find out if she can sink or swim. Bom even said she has trouble making friends- going away will help her to gain some social skills too.

The proposal was amazing and super romantic- topped So Woo's🙈.
They went to high school together and he thought she was very pretty.
