Wow - a regional philanderer. It does take discipline and presence of mind to become a prominent influencer, so that's not too surprising that she's rational about the husband's affairs. Hope he picks up gonorrhea.

How astute. Yes, the mother's strike worked. Maybe this crisis will move him out of his head and embolden him similarly!

I loved it too. I loved how the two women had that inyon (fated connection) and that Bok Ja really cared for her.

You never know with K dramas. I didn't expect it to be as good as Mine, and it easily was. (It must be Oh Nara. She knows how to pick them.)

Do you think so? I don't have a lot of empathy for Nam Ga Bin or Ah Mi. I like Song Won and the writer Si Eun. I like the lawyer Sa Hun and his parents. Sa Pi Young has some depth but in a repellent way.

Yes, and there will be many more invented!

Don't forget you threatened me personally in another post - "watch your back". We're all just talking about a drama. Keep it cool. Refrain from insulting people about their gender or age. Cougars are incredibly sexy. Song Won is 10x more attractive than Ah Mi. For that matter, Dong Mi is sexier than Ah Mi and Pi Young.

Lee Jun-seok has a sister? I'm not following.

Ahh, I hope you're wrong and that there are some happy couples at the end. Or, could Sa Hun's parents have the only happy marriage/relationships?

Yes, petty is her name.

That's the key. LSE does have a good life - despite her ex - and our hope is a new partner can appreciate her generously. Maybe Seo Ban.
She has great kids, a nice apartment, a great job and, if it came to that, family money. In contrast, Hye Ryung doesn't have very much of a life outside of work. Going to wine bars or playing golf can't be fulfilling. This could be one of the reasons she's terrified of actually getting divorced.

Yes, sadly, not unlike the conspiracists swirling around the US.

Yes, he's a cipher. There is a lot of time devoted to the MIL's duplicity but not to her stepson's development. How did someone who got a lot of love from her and his dad growing up (after his mom and brother died) compartmentalize so much?

Yes, I didn't like the actor playing the mother so it was doubly painful watching their interactions.

Hye Ryung - my theory is that she is insecure about her age and loneliness (parents are off in Canada), so landing the radio gig and marrying into a wealthy local family consolidated her status. She starts dressing up, wearing more make up (same with SPY - she got a major wardrobe upgrade in season 2) and doubles down on the qualities she thinks she needs to hold on to that.

We don't have to have the same political views. And we don't have to insult each other. There is nothing inherently wrong with being involuntarily celibate - I'm sure many people were during Covid. There is something wrong when people are openly approving intimate partner violence and even murder as @Taeguk123 was.

Look, your posts have been nothing but demeaning, approving, advocating or threatening violence against women. I'm charitably coming up with a reason why you have so much pent up anger at women. If that's not it, tell us why.

You make everything sound so ... easy. If only.

I do wonder if we're all watching the same drama. Lots of people accusing Song Won of pulling a long con on the family. I think Season 1 showed how the deceptions were perpetrated; Season 2 seems much more straightforward and we're finally seeing the pennies drop.

That's a tough one. I liked Mine very much too - and it could have used some of the humor here. (I did not care for the maid humor). Jung Sang Hoon is hilarious.

Can you explain how Hong In Pyo was an expert surveiller? What about that scene in his apartment with the police confiscating his stuff?

"When infidelity is a centrifugal theme" - well put.
