In my opinion… the lawyer is the most despicable of the three adulteress husband! Even if his wife was the worst,…
I don't think the lawyer "lusts" after Song Won. His wife wasn't fulfilling his emotional needs - nor was he fulfilling hers - and so he kept meeting Song Won because she was at least someone he could talk to. In real life, most affairs are pretty banal - people just want someone to connect with. The doctor - now that was silly. He was attracted to Ah Mi because she could eat an apple without making a crunch sound? I'm not excusing him at all, but he probably wasn't finding much emotional depth in his marriage either. He and his wife just play word games telling each other how perfect they are. Professor - as much as he appreciated his wife, their sex life died a long time ago (remember the scene in which she refused to go to the motel after dinner? I think he was honestly trying there and had not started the affair at that point). I think also he felt diminished in the family, as the wife was clearly the hero and the kids worshipped her. As they should. But I think with NGB, not only was he flattered by her attention, but I think he just wanted to feel useful and important. He does things for her and she's really grateful. With his wife, he is always reminded of her sacrifices for him, and that can't be comfortable. Am I condoning their relationship? No. But people are complicated. (I'm studying to become a therapist. Unfortunately, people do cheat. But sometimes, couples can repair the original issue - because the affair was not the original problem, but a symptom of it - and become even stronger as a couple. And, it is possible to become stronger as a couple without resorting to an affair).
Having recently discovered Kdrama and especially LJG, I wanted to ser some of his other works. This came highly…
I've come to love LJG after Flower of Evil and I'm hoovering up all of his old dramas. Does this stand the test of time? I tried watching My Girl and could not get past the first two episodes.
Lmao I was right when I said what Oh Yoon He was doing very dumb move. She paid her actions price with her life…
Right? Whoever said Resuscitation House nailed it. I've lost track of the number of people who have actually died. The real JDT's parents, MSA and the oddly well-preserved woman in the fountain? Are Na Ae Gyo, Logan and OYH all still alive?
No because my clown ass was rooting for Oh Yoon Hee and the real Joo Dan Tae. Both deserve to be happy coz they…
That was disappointing but not surprising. He doesn't have any money, so I don't know what the plan is to reestablish his true identity without legal help. One wanted poster isn't going to do it! If he needs the money to get back at JDT, I'm all for it, since MSA is dead and SSR is wealthy already.
I caaant with Gong Hyo Jin's beauty. I'm so in awe, girl.give me your skin routine, she is ageless
I agree she has beautiful skin, but I don't think she's very pretty. Granted, her character is an artless single mom in a small town and is not going doll up. But just not seeing it.
I'm experiencing a wave of emotions watching this. One bright spot - Lee Min Hyuk (the Assemblyman's son) is finally starting to act like a decent human being. He was a cartoon character before, but even he's sick of his parents.
felt like he's only made the killer just for the plot twist. i get he had a motive but it wasn't a super convincing…
I think it made the most sense, actually. At that age, you're not fully developed and hearing his mother and father going bat shit crazy because of Bok Ja pushed him to do something an older person might have refrained from doing. Also, with his grandfather cutting him off and the idea of becoming homeless, he probably felt he had nothing to lose.
I still love this drama... It has something unique, special
Right? There's no explaining why it's so addictive. Cheon Seo Jin's bulging eyes, Ju Dan Tae's crooked teeth? Seok-kyung's bangs? Just waiting for karma to catch up with JDT!
i don't personally think that this show glamorizes adultery. we see clear consequences (ex: in the case w the…
I agree with you. Screen time does not equal validation - it's portraying a point of view that is rarely seen, much less understood. We often see the back story of murderers or criminals in dramaland; we understand that the writer is not condoning theft or violence.
