I didn't romanticize him at all. I said he cares more than people realize.

Again, I said he was a donkey. I never said he was good. I said he cares more than even realized.

Oh, he does not deserve or need a second chance, I still think he is a donkey. I just think his feelings are deeper than anyone realizes including him.

To appeal to Americans.

I am going to say I had to take another look at In Ho. Yes, he is a donkey and this does not justify his actions but, I also feel that he cares more for his wife than the lets on.
1. He didn't have to marry her when she found out she was pregnant. It was his choice to do so. None of the parents appeared to be happy at that wedding but, he left Seung Hi for Jung Sook.
2. He honestly could have stayed in the States with Seung Hi but choose to go back home.
3. It isn't about the money or embarrassment as much as he can't imagine his life without Jung Sook. He is willing to spend all his money to fight the divorce and has already faced embarrassment when he married Jung Sook because she was pregnant.
4. He is willing to leave Seung Hi for Jung Sook but never thought of leaving Jung Sook for Seung Hi.
5. He took his wife for granted and stayed with his mistress out of nostalgia.
6. He tries to please his mother. His mother doesn't help at all as she had nothing positive to say about Jung Sook despite the fact that Jung Sook devoted herself to that family.

He is his mother's child.

If they were that desperate they should have had their doctor make the call and request a donation rather than under the pretense of wanting to get to know him as a family member. That was just plain hurtful and tacky.

1. They are siblings. Siblings do fight.
2. Eun So's parents don't want to reveal the truth. This would ruin both her mom and her dad equally.
3. Eun So is not innocent in this either. She thought I-Rang was weak. I-Rang wasn't trying to break Eun So's arm, but the bitterness between the two started with Eun So. Eun So wants I-Rang to feel her pain. She can't vent her anger at In Ho so I-Rang receives the brunt of her frustrations.

As a mother of children all over 30, I can tell you I WOULD. Understand any man who is 40 or over with no kids, and has stated he didn't want to be a family man has already made his intentions clear to his parents. Understand that in the USA things are no where near as conservative as Korea. In fact if Cha was in the US when she got pregnant as upset as her parents would have been, she would not have been forced to marry In Ho. She would have had family support to continue her residency.

No, I wouldn't. It is common here. If she was 67yo and he was 42, I would choke but a 5 year I would be okay with. And, since he has yet to have kids, I would accept any grandchildren I could get.

As a parent in the USA, I can say we would not commit suicide. It is somewhat a normal thing. 5 year age difference is not odd; and, marrying a divorce person is also normal.

I think it was a compilation of different events in the past. In present day especially in western countries, the plane would have all the necessary equipment and by mandate would have diverted when he was discovered in the bathroom unconscious. It would not have mattered that he felt better.

I think you are missing my point. I felt the scene was a setup into gaining more insight into the social responsibility that the industry takes on as well as character development of Jiang's brother -in-law. I didn't see it as unnecessary nor did it I see it as overly dramatized but that is my opinion based on my experiences.

You are correct that was a basic humanitarian food and supply effort. Since, I am an airline employee, I can speak to the fact that we have many skills but we are not first responders or search and rescue. They weren't there for search and rescue. Honestly flight crews are taught rescue maneuvers for scenarios involving aircrafts. The fact that they tried to a makeshift lever and pulley system to rescue that child was based on their training and basic common sense. When participating in those types of events we are sent to the least dangerous areas. We are sent in after the first responders and trained rescue. Companies want to get publicity and good will without having to pay for an injured employee. Personally that whole scene was more about show the brother in law's true nature. Up until that point I just thought he a was a useless lackey. It gave a chance to learn why he was so tied in Jiang and what his life is really like.

In the beginning he did not know. It wasn't until recently that they learned about their landlord/tenant relationship
