Seri is now assaulting a stranger for a man she doesn't know.
What a pathetic woman. She is really embarrassing. It's like she stopped growing up after 7.
Will she ever have a life beyond looking at a random baby and taking revenge on a random person for a random person?

You are talking about overprotection. I'm not pulling the opposite out of nowhere. Stalking your 15 year old child to the point where you know exactly whose number they have on their phones is overprotection. Following your teen everywhere is overprotection. Asking your teen who they are talking to every time they smile at their phones is overprotection, and it can be suffocating to the point where it becomes abusive, because we smile when our friends talk to us, people don't just do that to their lovers. I'm telling you that the only thing that might've protected that teen from KSH is if they were overprotective, and even then, she might've ran away and continue to see him. You are being unrealistic, if I might say. It's not a utopia, and these teens don't just follow whatever you tell them to do. You are not working with machines.
You have limits when it comes to protecting your child, and if god forbids, something happens to your child, it's not always your fault.

Yes, but you don't know if they actually stepped back and relaxed while their daughter is dating a predator, or they tried everything and failed. You may have an easy kid, or a kid who is just too good at hiding their dirty laundry. Fact is no parent actually knows their teenager or all that they are doing. You've got to accept at least that, so that you aren't surprised when things turn up differently than you've expected.
There is a neglectful parent and there is an overprotective (helicopter) parent, and there is people in between. I would either not leave my teenagers alone (and I become a helicopter parent) or leave them alone and become a neglectful parent only when they are caught doing something wrong. What if I wanted to be someone in between? Someone who gives their teenagers some privacy while trying to educate them about the world, and if things turn sh*t I stand with them? The only way this family could've survived this is if they were standing over her head 24/7, and this is impossible to achieve unless you are a crazy person.
Be mindful that she was 15, not 7.

No matter how much you look out for a teenager. If they have set their minds on something they will do it anyway. You are speaking like someone who was never a teenager. XD
If a parent said no, they will do it anyway even if it was behind their backs. They might've said no every minute of everyday and she still went out with him. Teens are in a risky age where they lack the brain to know what's best for them but they have the physical ability to fight for what they want.

When I was acting out as a teenager, my father used to say "when you grow up, you will say why didn't you stop me"
I always got furious at that statement alone. I knew what I'm doing was right, and even if it was wrong, why would I blame him?
But thank you guys for making me understand his point of view. Seeing how you are all gunning for the family who as far as we know may have done everything they can to stop them (if they knew), blaming them like it's so easy to control a teenager. "Why not report him?" and risk losing your child over it? She would've cut all ties with them, and since it wasn't legal at the time, that wouldn't have stopped him. Think guys! There was literally no way they could've saved their daughter. This family just lost their child anyway, and you are accusing them of going after the money even though they didn't ask for any so far? What would you do if it was you? Wouldn't you try to destroy the person who destroyed your daughter? There is no way they could've foreseen this, as far as they knew at the time (if they actually knew), their daughter was alive and well and will get over it.

Won't you be fine and ok if your daughter is alive and well? Of course they would be. You are only thinking they are to blame because it went down this way. The family didn't know what was coming at that time, even if they actually knew what was going on at the time, but now they are only left with this after losing their daughter. They deserve our empathy too.

Why are you going after the family though? They haven't requested any money from him so far. For all you know they might be an actual grieving family who are going for revenge or closure. They didn't "let" their teenage daughter date an adult, teenagers have minds of their own and it is very difficult to stand up against them. Focus on blaming the adult who decided it's okay to date a minor who is half his age.

It's not far fetched that someone would fall in love for the first time in their thirties or forties. Falling in love is different than dating. I think what I find unrealistic is that he would fall in love for the first time with someone with that much of an age gap at that old age. I think they will probably reduce his age as he can pass for someone younger with a bit of makeup.

Once people stop doing something for 25+ years, you should probably let go of it. You don't even know the details of the situation. Yes, people shouldn't hit others, but he may thought at the time that she deserved it, realized he was wrong and repented. That is a long time to be holding grudge over it.

You forgot that he is in an international court of public opinion. It doesn't matter if it was legal in Korea at the time, no country in the world would think it's OK, even Korea then and now. Because no one is actually pursuing teens except creepy old people who are using it as a loophole to abuse teenagers and get away with it.
However, that wasn't my original point. My original point was that it doesn't matter whether it's illegal or not, he is morally in a muddy water. I personally think it's disgusting to think of a teenager this way when you are around your thirties. It would've been fine if she was closer to his age. I don't care if he waited until she was 19 or not. The fact that he saw her as a woman at that young age is what I find gross, and no new information would change that.

Seri has got to have some dignity and a life that doesn't revolve around the professor.
We talk sh*t about the hairdresser, but I find this one even worse. At least the story of the hairdresser is somewhat interesting, Seri's story with the professor seem like something I wrote when I was seven after watching Trapp Ikka Monogatari and daydreaming about being Maria.

A few of Good Manager, maybe 4 episodes, I lost track after my Netflix subscription ended, but only 1 episode of the rest. I admit though that the main reason for dropping The Veil was the awful female character, but his character wasn't helping.
I heard that they pick up after a few episodes, that is why I tried so hard with Good Manager, because everyone is talking about how good it is, but I guess I'm not patient enough.

I did watch him in Good Manager, Awaken and The Veil, but I dropped all of these dramas because I couldn't connect with his character. I liked him in Remember and Becoming a Billionaire, and I really loved him in One Dollar Lawyer. I only hated him in Listen to My Heart. He is more suitable for quirky unemotional characters in my opinion. I've never connected with his sadness. I get that you did, and I respect your preferences, but I don't think it was the wrong casting, and I'm curious if you would change your mind once the drama starts.

I don't think the mother only in it when it benefits her. She has been treating them like a family too, and I wouldn't say they have ever benefited her. She got her money forcefully invested in the factory and she isn't making any profits yet.
As for the daughter, I do think she is a doormat. She says that she isn't making any profit yet, but she has offered to pay his daughter's tuition even though he hasn't stepped up to help in the factory. The brothers are useless, and she is carrying a family of a man she only met briefly, and when she started to single-handedly rebuild it up, she decided to spend all of her future earnings on them, and they allowed her, even though they didn't really need the money. I would be pissed off if she was my daughter too. It would be so frustrating seeing your daughter getting walked on and used like that. The factory is under her name because she swallowed the debt. It wasn't a gift to her, so she didn't have to give it back when it started doing well. She isn't only sharing the profit (which she doesn't have to do by the way), she is burying herself more and more into debt for providing them with luxury they don't need.

You can offer whatever extra you have out of consideration, you can even offer all you have if you are nice enough, but she is offering what she doesn't even have. She is committing to use her future income on a person she hasn't even met, and for a reason that isn't really needed (as she can come back and continue her studying where it's cheaper) when both of her parents are alive and well. She even offered to pay his wife to stay with him. I'd say she is the definition of a doormat.

I find Chun Su's "wife" bringing up the US law every time she could, and even when it doesn't apply pathetic. You are neither an American nor currently in America, so stop forcing its law on your own country. Ew

She's never been his wife, yet she demands a wife benefit. Go back to America, you are not welcomed anywhere else in the world.

I don't agree. I like Min Namgoong, but I think Park Shi Ho is way better at acting as an emotionally wounded man. His eye acting can be so deep, it makes one feel bad for him. I wouldn't say that I've ever felt bad for Min Namgoong, probably because he always seem like he is well off. Park Shi Ho also has a similar physique and vibe to Simon Baker which I find is a plus, because I loved him as Patrick Jane.

This is what one usually mean when they say someone is without a personality, because "happy go lucky" and "innocent" are what you start with as a baby, then you start developing a personality. Her being sheltered and rich is a situation not a personality. So, I don't think she has any personality yet, and I don't think she will develop one.

3 months was the length of her relationship with her husband, so it makes sense that she would move on after only 3 months. LOL
I forgot how long they dated exactly, but I remember them saying they only dated briefly before realizing they wanted to marry each other, then their marriage only lasted 10 days. If you fall in love fast, you move on fast too.

I find the mother of the female lead to unexpectedly be the voice of reason here. Her daughter is allowing herself to be a doormat. Somebody should put some sense into her.

He already has admitted the "gross" behavior, he only denied the illegal stuff, because it is illegal.
