Today was the first time I used the speed up function. I wrote so many things about the angst this episode produced but like you it isnāt worth it. I want to see how it ends but at this point it will be what it will be.
I think some of the more difficult things to accept for me are societal norms in SK vs the US. (where I was born and raised) I have enjoyed this page and group of regulars! Soā¦One more weekend to go!
Maybe Iām not reading it correctly but Iām not sure I understand what your position is. When my wife was pregnant…
I get it. Weāre CS & MS trying to get pregnant and canāt? If not thatās not being insensitive in my opinion. And if OB canāt do something because she is unwell then HS should step up. Historically OB isnāt a lazy person. HS maybeā¦
I do believe some women feel sicker than others during pregnancy & at different times. If this loving family doesnāt care how she feels then maybe they are not as loving and caring as it was when GS was there.
To me CS always has a chip on his shoulder. If MS was pregnant and not feeling well, heād be the first to tell her to rest.
Reflection: Pregnancy Is Not a PersonalityOk Bunās recent behavior has shiftedāwhat once felt like vulnerability…
Maybe Iām not reading it correctly but Iām not sure I understand what your position is.
When my wife was pregnant and tired or feeling unwell, I didnāt get mad that she was shirking her responsibility.
I didnāt see the Zumba brother and OB rubbing it in the older brother & wifeās face.
To me yes the table needs to be cleared, when I do it is up to me. If you need it done now then you do it. If Iām not well and want to do it in the morning thatās when Iāll do it. Itās enough to balance your partners wants vs your own. Living with 3 or 4 other couples is too much stress.
My opinion, just mine. No judgement intended or implied. š«£
I just donāt know why they are going the baby route for main leads? Keeping the coupleās age thing aside,…
I agree. While not opposed to these two having kids, I coul not imagine having an infant in my mid 50s. I suppose if you have near unlimited resources & having a nanny and help at home would make it easier. Maybe thatās just my mental image of myself. As I enter my sixties I look forward to an infant one day in the form of a grandchild or two one day. Though like you said itās a Kdrama so Iām sure there will be a car seat that fits in GSās delivery truck!
Speaking of kids what was up with CS/ MS and the idol brother? The animosity that one couple is pregnant and the other isnāt but saying she didnāt feel well because is rubbing it in their faces? I wouldnāt want to live there to be treated like that, not allowed to be happy that youāre expecting? Or not allowed to feel unwell?
Did ep 51 seem like a lot of: meh or was it just me today?
Two more weeks of Eagles, then Iām going to check it out!If what @Lunkera said is true maybe I wonāt be watching…
That makes sense! When I donāt watch live, I feel I miss out on discussions and the opportunity to ask questions. I know someone is always watching the shows but not to the degree of when itās āLiveā. Of course like you said this is all based on the series/character quality!
Great character observations too!

The very Korean things: have a baby regardless of age or if you really donāt want one.
Listen to your elders and let them control your life.
Marry someone you donāt love because your parents tell you to?
Iāve said this before, I didnāt grow up with same values, attitudes and behaviors that are typical on Kdramas.
I believe I am respectful of my elders, but I wouldnāt marry someone because my parents said to.
In Ep 52 SR said she regretted acting out and leaving home.
So was she to just marry HG because thatās what her parents wanted?
Aside from saying no, she was ālockedā in her room.
A 24+ year old - so she couldnāt see BS - like she would just agree to that.
Ugh š© sometimes these tropes are irritating.
But I realized these shows are not written for me, for the western philosophy and values I grew up in.
So I enjoy the stories and breathe through the (for me) angst-y parts.

You are of course free to not look at it as you scroll.
On MDL people complain when the Spoiler tag is used and not used.

If what @Lunkera said is true maybe I wonāt be watching too long?
It was worth closer to 6000.
Maybe he had a life saving reward coupon? š«£š¤£
I usually cringe and get angry when parents tell their adult child they canāt marry someone they donāt approve ofā¦.
In this case if JI had listen to mom,ā¦ it would be a really short story! š«£š¤£
