Bittersweet episode, but at least there is some progress in the right direction.

Gyu-rim's dream/nightmare the morning after the blackout drunk...she's crying and holding Gyeol. It gave the impression that she was alone after she gave birth. Not sure if that is true or not, though.
She might have just been completely overwhelmed.

Her mom saying that she could not come when Gyu-rim asked for help 7 years ago...she couldn't even spare a small amount of time to help? I really don't like that woman. The only thing I'm hoping for is that she doesn't change her mind about letting Seo-hyeon be with Mu-jin (I don't think she will).

Very glad to see that Mu-jin knows (or is pretty certain) that Gyu-rim didn't ask for the money 8 years ago.

I think there is foreshadowing with the statement from Mu-jin's mom about "a woman's grudge". I guess Seo-hyeon is not going to go quietly!

I swear, Heung-sik is such an idiot.

Gyu-rim's dad is such a whiny baby. "What did I ever do that was so wrong?" (Wait...let me pull out the list).

Can't believe that Gyu-yeong is pulled from the brink again, with the wedding gift of $100,000.00.

The meeting between Mu-jin and Gyeol made me tear up a little. Gyeol is a great little actor.
Still not sure why Mu-jin doesn't pursue the DNA test to see if Gyeol is his son.

Finally...my heart is breaking for Gyu-oh and Hui-na. But I'm sure they will work it out down the road, but it will be hard for them, I think.

Yes, eventually they will be together. It might be a little bumpy for a while. The preview didn't look 100% positive. But it seems that Gyu-rim ends it with Hyeung-sik and feels mom's wrath. Not sure what Mu-jin and Seo-hyeon do though.

Agree, I would just like for him to get out of it without getting beat up by her parents.😆

Yes, she is expressive.

I agree.

Agree!

Possibly, or maybe the inverse? (not sure if that is the correct term) - Seo-hyeon finds out that FL is her (step) mom's daughter.

Several possibilities...
- Mu-jin finds out what really happened all those years ago
- Mu-jin finds out that Gyeol is really his son
- Mu-jin finds out that his Mom is trying to take Gyeol away from Gyu-rim and tries to help her (Gyu-rim, not the mom)

I thought that guy with Gyu-yeong looked familiar, but I couldn't place him and was too lazy to go see if he was listed in the credits.

I'm sort of hoping she doesn't tone it down completely. Maybe she can change to not be so mean, but still have an attitude/edge to her personality.

Yep, I missed it. The comment thread is long, I got lost!

100% agree and I think that they will, just not right away. I think there will be a catalyst that will cause that communication to begin and continue. I don't know what it is, or when it will happen, but that's my guess.

Maybe put it on hold for a few weeks, then come back when things have developed differently.

Unless this drama is going to have a bittersweet/unhappy ending for the leads, then they will be getting back together at some point, right?

But if you are frustrated to the point where you don't care if they get together, then drop it.

Just my two cents.

For me, just the Gyu-oh/Hui-na storyline will keep me watching till the end, even if I didn't care about the leads (but I am pulling for them).

@MinaM...not trying to defend Gyu-rim's actions completely, but we wouldn't have a drama if she acted completly mature and brave this whole time.

Also, regarding "cutting her kid from his father's life", Mu-jin has done a pretty good job of that himself. Even though he's not 100% certain Gyeol is his, he basically dropped Gyeol from his life by telling Gyu-rim that "for the rest of their lives...let's not see each other". That statement would include Gyeol, correct?

I don't completely understand or agree with Gyu-rim's choices personally, but I do understand them from a drama perspective. Plus, we still don't know what exactly happened to her after she broke it off with Mu-jin. I have a feeling that things happened that have resulted in her being the way she is, in addition to the hard family circumstances she's had to deal with since her mom left.

Edited to add: I'm pulling for Gyu-rim and Mu-jin to be together, so I admit I'm biased towards them.

If you want Gyu-rim and Mu-jin to be together (like me!), then ep 9 and 10 (and maybe more) are/will be hard to watch.

Could Mu-jin look even more unhappy than he did in ep 9? I don't know if he's regretting his decision after the fact, or if he went into it knowing he was giving up happiness. Either way, he's doing a disservice to himself and to Seo-hyeon.

Speaking of Seo-hyeon, good grief girl, put your big girl pants on and get some self respect. You even admitted that you hate yourself for being this way. Then stop!! I understand she is kind-hearted, etc, so I have a little bit of sympathy for her, but not enough to want them to be together. Regarding when the breakup does happen, I'm reiterating what I mentioned in another comment...I think for Mu-jin to escape without everyone thinking he's a worthless piece of trash, Seohyeon has to be the one to initiate the breakup.

On to Heungsik and Sunam...the two of them together is almost more than I can bear. 🤣 Both of them are just way too over the top and I just have to laugh to get through it.🤦‍♀️

Gyu-oh still being so sweet in his attitude towards Hui-na. I'm really enjoying his scenes/storyline. He's easy on the eyes as well!

Or...he pushes her down the stairs and she hits her head and we have the....wait for it..."amnesia trope"!!!🤣

No forgiveness needed!

Daechi certainly is a despicable character...I think we all agree on that!

Yes...I agree.

😁

No disagreement that he needs to be punished.

All I said was that it wasn't planned/premeditated.

I know he ran him off the road, and I agree he needs to go to prison and I agree it wasn't an accident.

All I said was that he didn't plan it...as in premeditated.
