I totally agree with how you look at this ridiculous situation.This situation should not even occur to begin with.Couples…
I agree with that statement. As a foreigner to SK culture, it seems older people seem they are entitled to run anyoneās life that is younger than them. Especially parents, but not limited to. And it feels like the younger person, people just rollover and let them⦠not always but often. > you canāt marry this person Or > you have to marry this person for business purposes
[I think weāve had this conversation before, there is a difference between be respectful to an elder (or anyone) vs being subservient.]
Hi! Have you already watched episode 46? MIL wants Kwangsook to find her (MIL) 1st love - that young man in the…
That would beā¦interesting?š¤ It seems odd if the man in the old photo isnāt her husband⦠How was her marriage if her husband died and sheās carrying around a picture of another man from 50 or so years ago? (Unless the MIL wants GS to find her first love?) Neither is making sense to me at the momentā¦š«£
I just had a wild makjang theory, which I know will NEVER happen but I will just put it out there:What if Mi So…
Wow! Please write that screenplay as soon as possible!It would be the only way GC (KC) could possible understand the pain she caused if she felt. It would certainly illustrate Nurture vs Nature! it would make a great āalternate endingā type story!
The aunt Mi ran pisses me off again. Such despicable behaviour. Blaming everyone besides herself lmao. You're…
Sadly as strange as it is⦠it seems to be very common in at least Kdramas. I was very surprised as I thought she really liked JI as a person regardless of if she was divorced. JI has been a blessing to the granddaughter (BoRam ?). In SK a divorce is a āflawā in a person. I donāt get that at all - its very foreign to me culturally. š«£š¤Æš”
Iām sad to realize I just want this drama to be over now.
I always feel that few KDramas āstick the landingā! If they lose points itās always in the final stretch.
And while the writer broke the story up into 50 pieces the extra 4 will be just filler and drag! > Because they canāt give us an episode or two of happyā¦š«£
Couples should never let 3rd parties interfere in their relationship. I don't care if it's father, mother, sister,…
Agree, if I was DS, I would have been very unhappy & frustrated with GS. And though I understand, Iām not sure I could be so altruistic while feeling so disrespected.
Also can the mil write contract on assets that are not hers to control or distribute?
It is the art of strategic silenceāand Gwang-sook is playing it like a seasoned tactician.Telling DS everything…
Now that my blood pressure has returned to whatever normal is, I understand what your saying about GS methodology employed here⦠And I suppose - cooler heads prevail! Maybe I need to start counting to 1000 before writing about a frustrating scene? š¤ Thought like @GySgt213 said it can definitely lead to problem. Especially if the couple canāt have an honest conversation.
The babysitter has been bribed by BS's ex. Her sudden month-long āunavailabilityā feels far too convenient,…
š”I know what egg donor means derogatory, but I missed it in your original comment and was trying to remember if HaNi was from a surrogate! Wow I overthought that one! š«£
Based on episode 45: Some thoughts on the lead couple, not the actors that play themā¦
To me (and I think they are written this way), they are in way different orbits about Love, Relationship dynamics and Marriage.
Just a small example is GS discussion with DSās mother-in-law. He asked and she agreed to have him present in her dealings with that woman. As soon as the mother-in-law calls GS she heads over and doesnāt even inform DS.
He observes, because of course they meet at the hotel, his mother-in-law asking GS to sign away her rights to any inheritance of his estate. So that it all goes to her grandchildren.
I get that GS is not in > whatever the relationship is > for money. But itās not the mother-in-lawās place to control this - which is DSās estate or GS should insist that DS is involved as her future husband.
This is not a healthy way to start a marriage or a relationship. Thereās more but itās really frustrating to think about. And itās sad that two mature adults canāt communicate better.
Keeping secrets from your significant other for a third partyās benefit always leads to problems between the 2 in the significant relationship.
Does anyone else see any issues or where am I off in my thinking?
Yikes!If thatās the case, I hope it doesnāt last too long! š«¤(And nothing bad happens to HaNi!)
Right. I think she should get to visit with her, on a very limited basis. And supervised at first. I just worry for that woman it will become all or nothing eventually. No middle ground.
As I wrote before, it seems like GS has more affection, feelings, love and joy for the brewery, and her brothers…
If I sounded like I was criticizing the actorsā person lives then it came out wrong.
Like you said, I simply think the actors are acting as directed & written. End of story. Actors who donāt follow direction well wouldnāt have such long careers and/or rise to the lead actor roles often in their careers.
Thatās wild! And of course⦠possible.
I really hope itās not trueā¦ š«£š¤Æ
I really donāt want GS and her mother related to the mil⦠ugh though both GSās mother and the mil are very controlling bullish people.š¤

They are the biggest controlling thing in kdrama

It used to work, but they modernized & āimprovedā the interface, so of course⦠itās not working! š¤

(My comment about skinship was I reference to a US actor that wonāt do those type Iād scenes in respect to his wife. I think thatās a choice I can understand. And thatās a choice each actor must make for themselves. I think in this kdrama they are not doing any risquĆ© scenes where that might be a consideration.)
