While I like her, I agree. She's pushy. I understand Kang Soo is a nice guy, but she clearly felt he owed her a visit. I was irritated when she told him that he should have seen her.

The ending was so sweet. I'm just worried about next week. It seems like that gang is going to get involved and the delivery posse will suffer.

I was shocked at the possible reveal that Hyun Soo's mom is Kang Soo's mom. We know she up and left, but why? Ji Yoon's mom seemed like the obvious choice, since she's kind of a bitch.


Also, bless this show for allowing Jin Gyu a moment to apologize. That's all I wanted to see. He seemed conflicted when it comes to taking over grandma's shop. I hope he can figure out a way for everyone. I think he's falling for Ji Yoon too. It was cute when he said, "Now we've found something in common."

It makes very little difference when I already understood your intent when you posted originally. Now you want to say you just "didn't put the qualifier" so that people will run to your aid and pity you? Hahahahaha. I really can't wait until we have a block button, so we can remove unwanted attention.

From your original comment on my first post: "- but for VIEWERS, WOW!!! Such judgmental nasty people! You do realize, all of you..."

What else was I to believe from that statement? You said "You, all of you...," myself included. I know what I read. I have a photographic memory, don't you know? I also save receipts so that when keyboard warriors such as yourself want to argue that they weren't targeting me, I can provide actual evidence that proves their guilt and my innocence. So let me go one step further, just once, so that all of the commenters here see the mess this thread has become due to your persistent misbehavior. I'm not spoiler tagging this.

Hardly very personal? Calling me nasty and judgmental is rather personal, no? Your intention was to make me, as a viewer, feel bad for my honest candor about Jin Gyu. In what way is that not a personal attack? Do we have to review the rules of proper argumentation again?

Oh, I forgot. I don't know what I'm talking about. It's not like I have a degree and years of experience tutoring rhetoric and composition as well as editing and proofreading argumentative essays that win awards. Nope. Not at all. I couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about here. It's high time you learn that you can't bully me because I know where I stand. Yes, absolutely there are things in this world which are neither black nor white, but taking responsibility for one's actions is not one of them. You either do it or you don't. So perhaps why you see this as gray has very little to do with compassion for a character and far more to do with how you view responsibility in general, seeing as how you've yet to take responsibility for insulting me in the comments. Not even a "Sorry, I should have worded this without attacking you." Pull out the plank in your own eye before thinking you can pull out the speck in others. *Mic drop*

This episode was so sweet. Kang Soo and Danah are cute together and I love how Kang Soo smiles in secret. It's adorable.

I'm hoping Jin Gyu will grow with the chance accorded to him. (Like I said, and seemingly have to preface every post from now on with, I just want to see him grow and accept the responsibility for his actions without shirking or believing that money is the savior of all problems.) He was better in this episode, but not good enough. I hope he learns the lessons he needs to learn.

Except for when that right turns into one specific user attacking everyone and everything that doesn't agree with their assessment and calling those people names. This has been going on a while, and is part of a greater conversation in which all of my comments on this page are now answered by said user with the same condescending tone and disdain even if I, the original poster, was only stating my opinion and giving a legitimate argument. The other side, however, decided to project petty and infantile insults at me and others who agreed with me. So, to answer your question: what is happening here is a continuation of that bullying attitude vs. those who stand in the face and endure it bravely with exceptional candor.

I love you, @shaz22. I swear, I'm laughing so hard. You've made my week! #askingthrREALquestions #providingtheREALanswers :)

You tell him, Danah. His money is worth nothing!!! I'm loving this show.

And your reading is colored by pity-loving, now isn't it? I'm prejudiced because I'd rather see a world where the rich are given equitable punishments to the poor for the same crime? Are you seriously saying That? He did wrong. He should face the punishment. None of that is prejudiced, Ivanka.

I'm so tired of being accused of being one thing or another (crazy, nasty, judgmental, prejudiced, etc. etc. and so forth) from those who are clearly not capable of looking at the big picture and actually see that their paltry arguments are in favor of showering blessings on a character who is a spoiled brat. But then I think, they must not know about the world and how they contribute to this on a daily basis. That's why they are apt to blame the writers when it is they who are the inconsistent and poorly written characters in life's story.

I'd refuse money if I knew that the source of that money was using it as a way of dispensing of responsibility, and I'm in a situation worse than Kang Soo or Dan Ah, so yes, I can see why they would refuse his money.
I would argue that the writers did not set up JG to be seen as pitiable. Was it or was it not in the first episode that he treated Kang Soo like trash when he asked him a simple question about how much his car was worth? From that moment, the writers could have make JG answer the question politely, pay for the meal, and that would be it. But they didn't. JG's response was rude and demeaning toward Kang Soo's position. It looked down upon him as a worker, whole also creating the juxtaposition of one who must work for what they have v. one who gets what they want and the attitudes that accompany both positions. Those in a position of power will more than likely not empathize with those with little to no power. JG, in that first impression, told us many things about his character, and I think ties in nicely with his current villain-like persona. I don't see his character as that inconsistent; rather perhaps that the viewers themselves see it as inconsistent because they'd rather him be out and out good and displayed as such. However, that's not the case. The character is inherently flawed, not be the writing, but by his character. You can still be a bad guy and want to try and do good things to cover for the fact that you're a bad guy. Look at world leaders for example, who do this all the time.

I never said I didn't want him redeemed at all. No, he does not deserve the abuse, nor the rejection, but that does not absolve him of the initial crime of closing the road. He still needs to pay for that, and if you were watching carefully, you would have seen where they said that is a crime of no more than 2 years in prison. They have the evidence of that. That is indisputable. He did it. He deserves to pay for that. What you, and others who agree with you want, however, is that Jin Gyu get off scot free, with zero punishment, because oh my god, his daddy beats him and he's sad and he said he's sorry. Sorry, but that is what continues the cycle of richies getting treated as better than the law. That's why your argument is illogical. I never once said I hated his character, but you and other viewers worship him as a pity story, and talk about how cute and dimply he is like he didn't cause problems for people, then excuse his behavior because he has a shitty father. That's illogical. I'm not condemning him, but I'm not going to pity his dumb ass either.

I'm frankly glad that you and others are dropping this. No use crying because the writers didn't like your character.

Thank you. I've been waiting to hear some actual logic about Jin Gyu. Now, I do like him and want him to redeem himself, but it absolutely bull crap that he spent only a month in jail when the maximum offense for his crime was 2 years in prison. I think he's redeemable, absolutely, but he's not supposed to be interpreted as a sob story. I really feel we are supposed to dislike his character at this point. I think we can feel for his character's abuse, but loving him, adoring him, and showering him with pity is far from the writer's intention here. In fact, the narrative is encouraging the opposite, so, unlike other commenters here, I commend your reading of OJG (and I, too, have credentials to back that up for those interested parties who might desire to rebuke me further). I may like him a bit more than you do, but you at least acknowledge the criminal in the room and don't put him on a pedestal of light just because he has daddy issues.

I'm really glad the show is tackling some serious issues in society today, and perhaps in a way that people might not like, but I find incredibly refreshing and forward-thinking. :)

Please read the following statement again, for comprehension:

Also, I know I'm going to get hate for this comment, so if you feel necessary to start, just don't. No one needs a repeat of last week.

Now, kindly delete your comments. It is not needed, warranted, nor wanted by me. You are not allowed to call me crazy. I will not be belittled by you so-called apologists just because you are SO bent up about my opinion.

Please refrain from commenting on any of my comments in future. Because of you, I may no longer comment about this drama on this page. Obviously, the maturity level here is nil.

It does not matter if he is abused emotionally and physically. He still committed a crime and is not taking responsibility for his actions when he lies to the police about it. He's not worried about legal repercussions because he doesn't need to due to his privilege, his rich, entitled privilege, that automatically absolves him of guilt in his initial offense. He still committed a crime. He could have killed more than one person. Giving money to the family is tantamount to giving blood money; it's a form of bribery. It's trying to hush up the situation and further evade responsibility. I don't give a single care if he is abused or not; that does not entitle him to do what he did.

Also, could you not use caps in your posts. It's rather annoying and unnecessary. I'm done arguing with you because you are not civil, you are rude, you are mean, and you are clearly attacking people because they don't see the same way as you do. Bye.

Also, this happens in real life. In the US, it happens on a regular basis.
