hahahaha i told you yesterday we needed an exorcism for the momzilla

They are so fucking stupid, i swear.

Yeah that is what i am meaning, they are supposed to be really in love now but still act like a contract/arranged marriage couple too much. The comfortableness with each other is missing, physically. Dunno if this is a fam drama thing or contractual for FL in particular, since she is in a relationship irl that skinship is reduced to a very low minimum, but it really sticks out like a sore thumb by now between the leads. And i don't even mean kisses (hah) just general holding hands, standing/sitting close to each other with hands around another's shoulder, waist etc, small touches and gestures that show they are a couple. Right now it feels more like a platonic partnership, them being mutual caretaker for their child, lol.

Hence bring on the wedding night and hopefully changes regarding that. I want the cheeky YD back we had in eps 1 how she acted with that bastard before finding out his cheating.

Exactly. More than before eps 33-39 are pointless now, if with some, if rare cute scenes lol. This would have been much better bc it would have given more breathing room for the other stories that need to be resolved now in a rush due to the everlasting wailing show of the gong banshee ugh

afaik, not long ago. Maybe a week or a week and a half or two? I saw some mild spoiler pics posted by actors regarding the location then on twitter, after all.

Yeah, i was hoping it had changed after their make up/reunion hug since it looked closer, but they really stayed super awkward and distant with each other regarding touches/couple-y intimacy, so i hope this and their comfortableness with it/each and around other will finally be noticeable/increase after their wedding night.

Kinda tired of YD acting like a skittish deer in headlight whenever TK comes remotely close to her tbh. They are supposed to be in love after all, so pls act like it lmao, I don't expect King The Land like kisses or romance or something, since this is a fam drama, but just gimme something dammit xD

i know you are a far cry away from it, but i would advice you to watch till eps 32, halfway thru and then mentally slap a "one year later" under it before jumping straight to eps 40, as you will miss nothing of value except cute baby haneul (spoiler but jinjja/real is a girl) scenes and appa Taekyung scenes, maybe in the 36-39 eps. The other things are really a whole nothingburger and can be skipped. Till 32 the drama is a very good watch tho, imo.

Yeah i also would mentally correct it to YD calling TK after giving birth so they spend time reuniting and raising Haneul together in these seven months after the first timejump instead of YD forgetting TK exists for a year. (marriage reg could still be needed to be postponed till eps 41 then, thru other circumstances like inok's disapproval but leads being less backbending about it and let time/distance be the healer)

i would argue episode 31, 32 and the wholesome TK parenting/family shoot bits of eps 39 should be kept and watched too, but everything else... lol you miss absolutely nothing in skipping them, except cute baby scenes with haneul/the leads. Just watch inclusive halfway of eps 32 and then skip to eps 40 while mentally slapping a one year later under it, lol.

Meaning Yeondoo getting preggers again, this time 100% from Taekyung with no fan theories needed to maybe conjure it up lol. Because next week we finally get to see their a bit awkward partnership change into a full-fledged romantic relationship, at long last.

I hate nothing more than when characters ordeal, meaning the leads here, is rendered void by a magical hug it all out toxic positivity fix that feels like taking the piss on readers/viewers bc WHAT WAS THE POINT OF IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, THEN? 😒😒😒

I really don't care about the airhead couple anymore. I wish they would catch some heat because they have been hypocrites and entirely unsupportive all the way through, so fuck them. I actually fear family ties of that rotten bastard to the gong's again aka in order to redeem him bc we are doing this whole no consequences only hugs toxic positivity thing here in this drama and I hate everything.

I have been skipping the airhead couples scenes since that timeskip so I stopped getting annoyed by its stupidity tbh. But yeah definitely a pacing problem now due to those useless script changes, like we get the inok now we were supposed to get in eps 34-35, so all that wasted time on wha wha whangst comes now to the detriment of the other storylines and the writer in me is hammering at the walls and screaming in frustration ngl 😩

Yeeeeeah. The magical no consequence hug it all out family drama make up. No consequences for shitty behavior of characters because they are 'family/elder' 🙄 🙄 🙄 We wasted a lot of time to get back to where we basically started without these stupid script changes tbh. (Only thing that changed was Haneul being born)

I actually fear now the 🍓storyline and the very possible non handling of the demon duo. Is that creep now gonna be redeemed too bc he is the 'father' and they all hug it out lmao? What was that text about?

Liveblogging is scarce today alas. From what I gathered the whole fam resort thing comes to be bc howler monkey throws another hiss fit and pisses off to it. Good riddance but as we know from sns spoilers gong ghouls will all follow her there 🙄

Btw here is my Twitter thread about episode 39 (not complete yet)

https://twitter.com/sundogsnrainbow/status/1687999068893478915?t=M22Kf4w5Ni7tRAcodMHD4w&s=19

First HW the wimp ratted them out to his asshole wife (by accident) and then sourgrapes snitched to howler monkey and came in with a totally punchable smug smile before momzilla did. I knew why i never liked her, she has not changed one bit and is still the most unlikable gong wench along with joseon momzilla lunatic and airhead sis YM

haha, my aunt always makes a fantastic one. There was also choco-muffins my cousin made which were great as well, thanks 😁 Also had pasta salad and mixed fresh salad, baguette, chicken and all kind of dips later on. Was really nice but i am always glad when i am back home and can recharge lol

I do have a spare slice of apple pie to eat for tomorrow, may need it during the show or after, we will see hahaha.

saaame, howler monkey aside, it was a very wholesome episode of coming back together/mending fams <3

This show has always been its strongest when focusing on the lighter family moments instead of bullshitting its way through angst and makjang. So I hope we are gonna return to this now.

Yeondoo did the only right thing, leaving this demon tf standing there. I would also cry if I were Haneul, imagine being presented to this creepy shitstain like a piece of cattle. She is like, mommy I hate it heeeeere lets go home to appa! This sack of shit tells TK of all people? Feels unreal and TK can’t believe it either. My man you better do. But her not telling Taekyung about it… the way my eyes rolled back into my skull. GUUUUUUURL. These leads are so annoyingly self-sacrificing. Have a little of dignity ffs.

Taekyung your joseon momzilla is a lost cause and case for the loony bin, so cutting ties was the best you could do here. “Let’s live all separately.” Korean polite speech for I AM DONE WITH YOU. FUCK OFF, hahahaha. I love how Soojung, granny and HW got all the piping hot tea, and know what happened. HW once more not on Taekyung’s side? Color me surprised. The shittiest friend who has ever lived. Wall decoration Patrick hears about it and probably will sternly stare into the scenery, be outraged for half a second and then melt with the background like always.

Lmao not the clay-brained fart fairy being like “my no longer father sat together with YD’s mom on a bench, they are daaaaaatiiiiiing” I kinda like asshole brother more and more, he is still dumb af but he also has the healthiest relationship in this show with his wife and really seems to dislike the failbarbie. Two good qualities at least.

Daesung my unproblematic faaaaaave I love youuuu. He does his best to advertise for TK, a true captain on the lead’s ship, bless. Cute AJH faces here as he makes up his mind to face another mom monster after his own, aww. DS is as always cheering him on :D So cute how he is putting on the shoes TK got him IMMEDIATELY and he is always taking his side to help him win back BN’s heart. I LOVE HIM. BN is smiling, ain’t she fooling anyone here hahaha

Halmeoni playing offense and defense alike, baring the hypocrisy of howler monkey on top of dinner for everyone to see, bless. Not momzilla being NO YOOOOOOU as the only reply like a petulant teen in puberty throwing a fit. Yooo back yoo bags gran, don’t forget the clown costumes :D Already obvious where the fam stands with leaving howler monkey alone at the dinner table, lol. Gran being fuck this family, I want to see the cute baby, I am out! Lmao

Not the ajummas being TK IS THE BEST MAN, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY and BN smiling through the pain this truth causes hahahah. Also Taekyung smiling thru the pain at her cold shoulder, aww. DS: “I will raise Haneul if everything becomes to much for you. TK: I will never give up on Haneul or Yeondoo, for me these two are one. I love them the same.” GREEN FLAG KING and of course BN hears it. Love DS’s hug, TK really needed that awww and the way he thanks Daesung for it is too cute. BESTIIIIIIES :D

Yeondoo is like the wifey who just knoooows hubby is lying but leaves him running into his own doom in asking “where were you?” This scene is so refreshingly normal married life that the only thing that is missing is actually, well, the legally valid marriage now. They call each other out on their white lies and conclude well from now on we better talk about everything honestly. Yeah you better fucking do. Why the hell are they back to honorifics tho D: Our Haneul <3

SK is also crew member on the lead ship hahaha, love my sweet gurl urging her halmeoni to take the shoes. Granny booked it, lmao aaaaand is already sitting at Taekyung who is like I WANT ALONE TIME WITH YEONDOO AND MY KID WHY ARE YOU HERE? AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA, Taekyung’s expressions here are killing meeeeeee. Aaaaand Gran woke up haneul, great. TK, fully in dad mode is like “She was sleeping just fine, now she is awake. I hate you for this.” hahahha. Granny is eating breakfast with gusto while TK side-eyes the hell out of her with haneul in his arms. Too many problems for everyone, just break up with TK, um sorry gran what???? Oh TK heard it and he is going oooooooffffff. TELL HER, KING. Well at least gran sees the nursery he did while staying there. And of course we have a handkerchief of family reunion, worked already in Once Again as plot device, so why not here as well hehehe. Nice strawberries on it. Very subtle xD

TK is facing the gossip girl club every day he comes to work, lmao. You look tired Doc, but your MIL is there I guess. Damn I want them comment on his lighter mood lately. He is hyping himself up to face her and woah he is indeed using the highest polite speech for her, not like the one for royalty but close, very formal/respectful. BN of course approves but also want howler monkey to do the same. Hello do you know what she did? Apparently not, ugh. It is a bullshit circle of no progress if they keep vying for approval of complete assholes instead of just filing the goddamn papers and letting momzilla die mad about it, err frikkin deal with it. Thank you for the shoes! Awww, his hard work paid off, wasn’t any question to begin with anyway with BN but good to have her on the team. The fruit is no longer rotten, yay.

LMAO not Soojung and Hyunwoo bullshitting their way out of the vampire den with the resident demon to visit TK/YD, I am amused. The personified “am I the problem? No it is the others who are wrong” meme is like do not visit TK and they are yeah we totally are not hahahaha, bye witch.

Halmeoni dreams of bongnim I mean ttalgi, so she goes to play with her grandgranddaughter to calm herself down, hehe. I approve of the abundance of haneul in this episode, too cuuuuuute. And she looks like TK indeed. Wonder what uncle’s sentence was about here hahaha. Gran already loves Haneul, can’t fool me here, hehehe. And of course there are the inlaws totally not visiting, just checking in while staying for a few hours. Not visiting tho xD Granny is hiding in the nursery like YD did a couple of eps before oh the irony. And of course the minute Taekyung comes home, he rats her out to the inlaws, lmao. Finally the fun is back in this show, too funny how he is side-eyeing her being like I WANT MY FAMILY TIME BACK GO HOME. Won and haneul together with their dads, too cute.

Taekyung wants to make 200 days photos of haneul <3 and YD loves the idea as much as SJ. Finally we are seeing some resemblance of a family drama instead of whatever it was before. Do you like being (back) together with TK? YD: Yeeeeah, a lot. Dunno why YD still apologizes but whatever they want to come back tomorrow and SJ is sad she has not seen Haneul yet. Granny is staying.

Fuck these unlikable hypocrite sibling assholes, I skip. Good fucking luck hope your ship sinks and buuuuurns. BN has another bench date with Ho and presents proudly her new shoes. My son in law got me these, awww. She thanks him for helping to sort out her feelings regarding that matter. Oooh damn he blew it with being so distant and BN leaves disappointed, lmao. Clay-brained clown duo are panicking about those two knowing each other. BE AFRAAAAAID. It has been 84 yrs but I feel we finally come to the uncovering of their bullshit.

Lol, HW and SJ are fully team TK/YD now, tho with HW this can change any moment as spineless this ass is, tbh. Mother is so unreasonable. Let’s come back tomorrow and help with the photos :D No one wants to return into that house of horrors anymore lmao Soojung smiling over pics of haneul is too cute. And she is roping her hubby into coming to the Taekyung fam apartment after calling him out on the hypocrisy since they also once planned to have a child not fully bio theirs.

Taekyung sings the song of tired parenting, an ineffectual chant of “sleep sleep sleep” which only works on himself while Haneul is like THIS IS FUN, ROCK ME FASTER APPA YAY :D I love gran seeing him like this and the unconditional love he has for Haneul, will definitely help his case going forward. Come on TK let her hold Haneul just once and I swear she is gonna put her on the fam register no matter what lmao. She asks him if he really plans to raise her and of course he does, the way he kisses haneul’s head when returning to the bedroom tells you everything you need to know about his love for her. I AM WEAK.

Inlaws return now with big bro trailing with them and TK is still like GRANNY GO HOME I BEG YAAAA xD The man is so stressed he just wants some quiet family time and not sharing it with anyone lmao. Sourgrapes and howler monkey battle for the title of worst mom ever and while momzilla is still winning sourgrapes is really doing her best to compete here. HW rats them out to his asshole wife which means they will crash the party ugh.

Not the big bro being I am here because of wifey but I don’t like it hahahaha. Finally a wholesome scene and TK’s happy smile as he sees everyone helping to prepare for the photo shoot is so adorable. Everyone is adoring Haneul and having a good time so you know it won’t last lmao, but still so so so so cute. At last a joyful moment for them all and I love my Jinjja fam, ngl. Haneul is definitely the star here, aww. And again appa taekyung kisses the top of her head which is too adorable damn. I guess these are nice memories/pictures for the actors in general <3 Halmeoni is watching Haneul as the others gather around cake and big bro is visibly charmed by Haneul, of course the doorbell rings and the two witches arrive, crashing the party. Sourgrapes smug face is so very punchable. I knew why i never liked her.

Howler Monkey: "What are you all doing heeeeeeeere?"
Having a jolly great time without you. Thanks for asking.

What a dramatic long shot for effectively making clear how howler monkey is the problem here, no one else lmao. Fuck off, leave them alone. Thanks. Loved the episode, finally a lighter one after all the doom and gloom, and especially the lack of bullshit duo was great. Now if only the demon we shall not name could vanish into the next loony bin that would be great, thanks.
