If you only focus on the wrong, that being the cheating, and then the supposed solution, the divorce, you are not understanding the value of the drama. It's not about divorcing a lousy partner but Dr Cha's own journey to self-determination, with our without a future partner.
In reality, it's not that easy to divorce people even if you want it to happen as soon as you feel that you've been wronged. In life, there are so many intervening factors that you have to consider that delaying a divorce doesn't mean that she won't divorce him eventually.
Also two wrongs don't make a right. Sure, Dr Cha and In Ho cheated and while it can be excused and justified because it was in the heat of the moment/romantic and Dr Cha having some underlying feelings, it does not mean that what Sung Hee does later is justified. Yes, Dr Cha may have got her karma but the fact is, the relationship between Sung Hee ended as soon as Dr Cha got pregnant and became married to In Ho. The fact then that she after all these years passing between them chose to cheat with In Ho to justify her feelings of getting back, or for mere desire to relive the man who was her first and maybe only love is still wrong. It doesn't make her any more of a victim.
I'm still not convinced that there wasn't some initial feelings that developed during the marriage between In Ho and Dr Cha because the flashbacks during the ceremony don't show the arrogance that adult In Ho has so you would be convinced that there was some affection there at the start.
Also given that they have been married for a long time and have only been having issues in the last 10 years and 3 of those was because Sung Hee had come back to America means that initially there might have been some effort early on to make the marriage work. So I don't feel that suddenly the marriage became suffocating only because In Ho was forced to marry her. In the flashbacks, it was In Ho who told his mother who opposed the marriage that he would marry, not that he was forced to marry her given that it seems that he had always had the upper hand in their power dynamic. He could have rejected her claims if she said that it was him who got her pregnant given that they were well-off, for example.
I wish the drama would explain how the marriage changed and what made In Ho become the douchebag that he is because it is not clear why he is so suddenly different now as an adult. Maybe he was always like that and we're getting the sugarcoated flashbacks of Dr Cha but the truth should lie somewhere in the middle.
no but inho and jungsook were so cute at their mariage 😠what happened for inho to behave like that
This is something that I feel hasn't been fully explained. I know they cheated initially, it was a spur of the moment thing, but when they were married, it did look like young love at least. So why now after years of marriage had that love changed? I wish they would give us more of an explanation because Inho initially could have been a Dr Roy (helpful, smart, charismatic) and he seemed to be that during their college days, but he changed to a cowardly man but how and why when he initially wasn't like that at all??
1. Inho being drunk feels so manipulative, like he got drunk just so he could get the upper hand, disclose the truth and then influence the way Dr Cha works. 2. Jungmin's girlfriend is so emotionally cold that it's really not worth the effort. Maybe he can just pursue a romance with the short haired girl whom he had a one second scene with. Being a competent doctor is not an excuse to be so icy. 3. I have a feeling that Dr Cha might not end up with anyone. The way that this episode has been set feels like they're already foreshadowing the ending. I just hope it doesn't end with going back to your deadbeat husband who uses you and your charm to elevate his family man image. 4. Then again when the affair gets discovered, I hope the fallout affects the cheaters. 5. I feel sorry for SH. It does seem that it could be possible that her initially sleeping with Inho might've been a mistake, but the fact that she got pregnant and continuously tried to fit Inho into her life as a father to her daughter became a choice not that she still loved him so much, but because the deed was done and she was no longer this perfect girl. At least, the way I see it, she seemed to be the aspirational girl who was smart, pretty and successful and made no mistakes. 6. Okay Jungmin's girlfriend is not as icy cold but still probably not for Jungmin in the long run, although she and Dr Cha could remain friends. 7. Great car though. I wonder what brand it is.
i like roy but i think he is more manipulative than he pretends. The fact that he hugs dr cha when he knows full…
If he's anything, he's cheeky. A hug might be interpreted differently in Korea but he was raised in the US and also he was relieved to find out that she was alive when she could have died. It was serious.
He does have boundaries. When Dr Cha's friend invited him for dinner, he refused as he already had plans when he could have easily rescheduled his other plans to spend more time with Dr Cha.
I don't think he uses In Ho's failures as leverage just so he can get closer to Dr Cha. He is there to guide her, sure, but he hasn't even made any move to initiate any kind of romance.
She claims to be a perfect doctor (which doesn't exist btw), then blatantly ignores a patient's cry for help.…
Yeah, too much logic, not enough heart. As a doctor there needs to be balance because it's still a customer service profession, no matter how smart they have to be. Patients are people not just case numbers. So yeah she was wrong for that. She only cares about resolution of the problem, not the people dynamics - which shows in her kind of being annoyed with CJS being so charismatic with the other younger colleagues.
It seriously infuriates me that they decided to hide this secret from her together using the excuse that she’s…
But it's only been a day or two, maybe a week re time span. A lot can change and initial choices to keep the secret for whatever reason, can also change when circumstances and dynamics are at play. So maybe they will tell her later on, but maybe not now.
